"......" stared at the report sent by his subordinates, and Kane sat down on the sofa in the command room with a dead face.

Beside him were the staff team led by Chief of Staff Lufas, as well as Brigadier General Vores, who temporarily served as commander-in-chief due to General Aurelia's injuries, and his officer corps, as well as other people related to aristocratic forces. In addition, Chloe and Vita were in an inconspicuous corner, looking at each other, unable to interject from the situation in front of them.

"Why didn't you get it sooner?" Kane repeated weakly—to the soldier who delivered the news, "If it happened yesterday afternoon, why did the news come this morning!" ”

"That...... That's because there was no movement on the part of the Marquis of Rogner, and it wasn't until this morning that the Marquis's Mansion released a message saying...... "The soldier was about to defend himself, but found that Duke Kane had completely lost his usual kindness, like a predatory beast, staring at him viciously, and instantly he was too frightened to speak."

"Your Excellency...... Please refrain from doing so. Vores on the side hurriedly grabbed the Duke of Kane, who wanted to rush up and give the soldier a kick, signaled the latter to stand back and not continue to provoke the Duke of Kane, and then said: "Your Excellency, I also received the news this morning. The Marquis of Rogner did not take any military action after that, and he did not see anything like the presence of regular troops in the city of Lure. Generally speaking, the 3rd Mecha Division and the 4th Mecha Division have been honestly staying in their respective defense areas, and if it weren't for the news from the Marquis's Palace, or other reports from the troops at the front, we would not have been able to find out about this. ”

"This situation will occur most likely because Prince Olibat personally came forward and accused you in front of the Marquis of Rogner as a royal family." Lufas, on the other side of Kane's side, spoke—there was confusion in his tone, but Vita could see that his confusion was disguised, but it was so vivid that it was hard to tell whether it was true or false—at least no one else around him had any suspicions, "This is a remiss on my part. I should keep in touch with the Marquis of Rogner...... Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken advantage of it. ”

"Chief of Staff Lufas can't be blamed for that." An officer on the side saw that Lufas took the initiative to take responsibility and took the initiative to defend him, "All the fighting in Lamar State has gone very smoothly before, and this is entirely thanks to Secretary Lufas's command and dispatch. ”

"Including the initial battle in Sasharante, His Excellency the Marquis of Haines also used Lord Lufas's battle plan, right?" Another officer said.

"That's right...... The plan drawn up by Lufass was watertight, and I was amazed when I saw it. Brigadier General Vores, who carried out the plan on the sidelines, did not hesitate to praise him, "Lufas has done a perfect job, but he is only one person after all...... And the Marquis of Rogner himself was a simple warrior, so he fell into the trick of His Royal Highness Oliebat, and was persuaded by him to make such a declaration. ”

"That'...... What do you mean? "Duke Kane originally wanted to vent with that unlucky soldier because he couldn't find the punching bag. The association is a guest he invited, and in the planning of the entire civil war, the association doesn't know how much power it has done behind the scenes, and the Duke of Kane also knows the strength of the association, how dare he be disrespectful to Vita? As for Lufas, he has always trusted and cared for him, and unlike his unknown father, he has no intention of blaming him to his face. As for Voles, there is no way to say anything - he was originally mobilized from Sasharante only a few weeks ago, and theoretically he is not Kane's own person at all, and General Aurelia, who really belongs to his control, is still recuperating in the hospital in Haidu, although the doctors promise to do their best - they are also curious who can consume General Aurelia who claims to be the first swordsman of the empire - but General Aurelia wants to return to normal operations, It's going to take a week or two, and it's not going to happen here.

Therefore, seeing that everyone seemed to be completely unflustered, Kane Gong couldn't help but look at Lufas, who had an excellent reputation, and wanted to hear what good advice he had.

"I think Your Highness must have said to the Marquis of Rogner that your protection of Your Majesty was a bit excessive." Lufas's eyes rolled, and he considered the wording, trying not to use words like "rebellion" and "house arrest" - although the few people present were more or less aware of the truth, "Your Excellency the Marquis's loyalty to the royal family is not unclear to you. I think that his declaration of neutrality, rather than further declaring that he is not at odds with the aristocratic alliance, may also leave room for further negotiations. ”

"In such a situation, can negotiations still be useful?" Despite Lufas's resourcefulness, this time Kane really didn't see much hope.

"No...... The Marquis of Rogner did not declare hostility with the noble alliance, so there was still a chance. I think that your Excellency must show some sincerity to dispel this idea from the Marquis of Rogner...... At least, if he is unwilling to go to war, the supply of weapons and equipment and military supplies to Lamar State cannot be stopped. We should not abandon our efforts to negotiate with the Marquis of Rogner now...... I guess we should at least look at the condition, right? ”

"Hmm...... That's fine. However, I don't have much hope for this matter, so I don't want you to go in person. Duke Kane said with some irritation, "Just ask a few representatives of the nobility of Ordis—"

"No, you have to go there yourself. Not only you, but also our entire Staff Committee, the members of the Society, and the battleship Patanguai. A strange smile flashed across Lufas's face, "Our goal is not only to convince the Marquis of Rogner, but also to find a way to "convince" the Grey Knight to join us - isn't that what you want, Your Excellency?" ”

"Oh?" Seeing that Lufas was so confident, Kane Gong couldn't help but be overjoyed and asked.

"Your Excellency, listen to me......" Lufas whispered as he put his lips to Kane's ear. The voice control was so subtle that Vita, who had quietly opened the witch's secret method on the side, could not hear it clearly, and could only occasionally hear words like "temptation" and "strategy" spoken by Lufas.

"Good...... In that case, let's try it as you say. If not, we will have to wait for General Aurelia to return and start the scheduled decisive battle. Kane looked around, "Call back the hunters and the elites from all over the world." There is no point in sporadic battles anymore - now in addition to trying to win the support of the Marquis of Rogner, there is one more - let me keep a close eye on the movements of the imperial capital. ”
