"So, Lord Lufas, look ......"

"There's no doubt it's a hoax." Lufas's answer was categorical, with a helpless sigh in his tone, "Something of this magnitude...... If you don't need my help, can't you judge for yourself? ”

"But...... Their rhetoric is unassailable. "I am also puzzled that their organization is suddenly so incomplete, but the other party described in detail what happened on the battlefield from beginning to end - it took dozens of sacrifices to settle it-"

"Hmph...... You'd think that because you've never used something like a huntsman. Lufas interrupted him with a rare and direct expression, his tone seemed a little displeased, "If you have even the slightest experience with mercenaries, you can tell that something is wrong with them. ”

"What do you mean?" was reprimanded by Lufas, although the Count of Ammancia couldn't hold his face, he still swallowed his anger and asked.

"Forget it...... You can't be blamed for this. If I hadn't kept an eye on it and deliberately asked Arnold to go and check in the name of the Duke's Palace, maybe I would have really been fooled. Lufas obviously also noticed that his tone was a little heavy, so he added, "To be honest, even I was almost deceived myself - it was only to be safe that I asked Arnold to recount the strategic resources in their hands in the name of the Duke...... Hehe, it's been a long time since my father has waged a large-scale battle, where did they get so many combat attrition? Sweep loss? Hmph, that's a light thing to say. ”

"Well, you see, the duke will ......"

"Rest assured. I told Arnold about this, and my father would not know about it, and neither would Jusis. Lufas chuckled and motioned to Amencia to reassure, "Actually, the real problem is not just in this serious declaration issue - more importantly, Amancia, do you think the Mira you gave is enough for them to do this for you?" ”

"This ......," Ammancia pondered, "please make it clear." ”

"It's simple, Amancia...... You, like my father, don't know anything about the day-to-day expenses and scheduling of the hunting regiments, as well as the various compensations. "So you can't see it...... In the eyes of the hunters, the Mira you originally opened was far above what they thought should be the share of the entrusted mission, and your purpose was so ambiguous, so in the eyes of the hunters, it must be that you were harboring information and did not warn them of the danger that might be in advance. They are all battle-hardened dead soldiers, and they have already figured out your little thoughts—that's why they not only brought the entire hundred-man brigade with you without even knowing it, but also brought heavy weapons such as mortars. Although this point is not important this time, if I hadn't found out about it and deliberately told Arnold in advance, in case my father and they noticed it......"

"......" Count Ammancia swallowed his spit - Duke Elbariana didn't understand, couldn't the generals of the Confederates under him still see it? He privately summoned the hunters, who had been requisitioned by the Duke himself, and sent them on important tasks that required the dispatch of entire large forces and heavy weapons; According to the laws of the Empire, in a state of war, all nobles were expected to obey the orders of the local military governor, the duke. Although it doesn't have strict military orders like the regular army, it is also against the rules - if El Barea wants to hold a little bit on his head, then he is really a big mistake.

"Still, at least this time, it's over...... The problem is that while the money you give them is far beyond the difficulty of the task you describe, they are in reality, apparently, met with resistance far above that. In this case, they should blame you when the first wave of attacks is frustrated, blaming you for withholding important information, hiding opponents they can't match - at this time, they should be dissatisfied with you, and naturally they can't really take the task you tell you to do at all costs. After they have suffered a setback, they should take care of the aftermath as soon as possible and then evacuate quickly – this is normal. ”

"In reality, however, they did not return until dawn, far below their promises, and ...... The losses were so heavy that it looked like a tough battle. "Count Amencia finally grasped the contradiction of the matter - that is, the behavior of the hunters was illogical," so ...... So ......"

"So, in this case, it's just two possibilities." Lufas said in a deep voice, "First, there is a group of extremely powerful forces guarding there, and even the entire army of the highest-level hunting regiment "Nidhogg" in this world, except for the "West Wind" and the "Red Constellation", is helpless - just a short period of confrontation has caused them to lose to this point. They had actually tried their best to fight, but the opponent was too strong. ”

"That ......"

"It's almost impossible." Luvas shook his head, "No, in a conventional sense, this possibility is the first thing that needs to be denied - it is one of the top hunting regiments in the world, when fully armed, it is beaten and helpless, and if it escapes in embarrassment, the other party must have at least three times the strength, and the quality of individual soldiers is tacit with the team, and the equipment is not weaker than them - heh, the main force of the "Red Constellation" is now assisting Cross Bell in the toss, and half of the army of the "Zephyr Brigade" is already under the control of the noble alliance, where did the other party find this level of combat power? ”

"That'...... What do you think is the second possibility? After thinking about it, Amancia, who thought it was indeed too ridiculous, asked again.

"The other way is ...... These people, somehow and under what circumstances, have made a secret agreement with our adversary this time - they may be able to get more out of it, so they choose to withdraw and make up some lies to confuse us. "It must be a very tempting promise, so tempting that these money-eyed hunters will not hesitate to turn their backs on my father and your patrons—what kind of promise it must be, think of it, Amanthia?" ”

“…… Can't think of it. "Count Amencia racked his brains, unable to imagine anything so attractive.

"Well...... Of course, there is only one such thing. Lufas smiled sarcastically, "That's – alive." ”
