Chapter 169: Sarah's Experience (2-in-1)
"Oops...... Really. Leaving Angelica's station, Sharon and Sarah, who had re-disguised themselves as city passers-by, talked in a whisper while walking in an invisible, human-like manner to avoid attracting the attention of passers-by. After all, although the Marquis of Rogner's attention was not focused on the city, his minions never relaxed their pursuit of possible opposition.
"yes...... I didn't expect to be able to cooperate with you like this one day. Sarah is also hard to say about this - a few years ago, the guerrilla association in the capital of Erebonia, the imperial capital of Heimdall, was attacked by "unknown persons", and a large number of powerful people appeared near the association, and entangled all the members of the Heimdall branch that had originally arranged a huge force - Sarah Barrestan, who was already an A-class guerrilla at the time, was also ordered to fight, and the person who fought with her was the "dead line" Sharon Kruger, who later learned her true identity.
Sarah still had a feeling of the dozen or so wire-grazed wounds on her body after the battle—it was like a dance of death from a giant spider. Even though she was once a hunter and experienced battlefields large and small, she rarely felt such an unforgettable sense of horror. However, Sarah is also very confident, and her shooting and lightning magic definitely let the other party have a good taste of being burned.
Therefore, when she saw this person again in her position as an instructor at the school, Sarah was really very wary and nervous at that moment. It's just that, in later contact and covert observation, Sarah finally confirmed that Sharon at this moment does seem to have little to do with the conspiracy of the association. It was precisely because of this that she was able to safely hand over her back to the person who had terrified her when the mechs invaded. Although Reinhardt, known as the "Sword Emperor", was the one who played the greatest role in that battle, Sharon's role was also irreplaceable. It was the hard work of all of them that bought enough time for the arrival of the "Red Wings" later.
After hearing about her students through various channels, Sarah went to Krutchen for the first time, and successfully met her student Jusis, who was already temporarily in the position of duke, as well as Marchias and Laura, who were with him. The experience of the civil war has allowed all three young men to grow rapidly, and Jusis is already a sage in his gestures, able to make his own excellent and accurate judgment on matters large and small, and with the help of a group of loyal servants, he is very pleased to handle the post-war reconstruction affairs well. Macchias has also temporarily put aside his prejudice against the nobility, as well as his personal prejudice against Jussi, and helped deal with the financial problems within the duke with amazing efficiency, which made Jusis also a little moved - of course, if it weren't for the fact that Macchias always said something after helping, Jusis was moved back and rolled his eyes back.
Laura, on the other hand, began to travel around the state of Krutchen - now that the civil war has ended and the town's economy and trade have begun to return to normal, Laura can finally let go of her heavy burden and do what she wants to do. The day-to-day tasks of the town are handled by the Klaus butler, and the field and patrol tasks are also taken care of by the self-volunteering Yarsside protégés, so Laura is free to do what she wants. With her sword in hand, she traveled to villages and towns in Kruchen that had suffered from war and needed help to clean up the monsters and the beasts around them, leaving a reputation for helping others, just as the Alsside Wanderers had always done.
In any case, at least these students in Krutchen seem to be doing well, and Sarah's heart is also partially relieved. It was also through their information that Sarah learned about the situation of the other students - Lane and others used the power of the riding god to go to the Nord Plateau in the northeast of the empire to find the whereabouts of Gaius and others; And Heliga and Faye went straight to Cross Bell, who even Sarah couldn't have exact information about, which seemed to be the most dangerous and unpredictable place in the continent at the moment.
Of course, Sarah herself was very reassuring about the two of them - partly because of Heliga's hidden power, and partly because she had known about Heliga's relationship with some local people in Crossbell through the guild, and knew that what he was doing was not meaningless. In contrast, he was more worried about the more immature and more likely to be in danger, so he rushed straight to Notia.
Lure's security was something Sarah had anticipated. Therefore, she did not enter the city by conventional means, but chose a small hole outside the city wall, and climbed directly onto the parapet outside the city with an amazing body and entered the interior of the city. Sarah, who was familiar with finding the local underground intelligence agent, soon got a lot of information in the city - for example, the Marquis of Rogner was not in the city at this time, for example, the marquis's daughter seemed to be planning some kind of underground operation, and the marquis's military police patrolled the streets day and night to see if they could find clues that the former president of the "RF Agency" Irina was hiding.
And the moment she was targeted by that very familiar aura, she understood that the target that the noble army of Notia was looking for directly found herself. Knowing that the opportunity could not be missed, Sarah decisively chose to go with the suggestor, and thus succeeded in meeting Irina Lane Fort, who was still calm and dignified in a secret house somewhere in Loure, even if it was almost equivalent to being forced under house arrest.
"You're the Barestan instructor. My daughter was taken care of by you when she was at school. The cold tone, the words of thanks in a gesture that seem to be taken for granted, make people feel the slightest sense of gratitude - this is Irina Lane Fort. At that moment, Sarah even understood her awkward student a little, and it was not comfortable to be treated condescendingly like this all the time.
However, Sarah is a mature guerrilla after all, and she only struggles with this unhappiness for a moment and no longer cares. What really caught her attention was what Irina told her afterwards and the invitations she made.
"The Nord plateau is equipped with a shield that shields all the surrounding conductive signals. When you're unlucky, even the city of Luray suffers from it. Irina said, "I've asked Sharon to probe a little bit...... The conclusion should not be wrong. This is a ghost done by the Marquis of Rogner, presumably to restrain the actions of the regular army of the "Kendamen". ”
"Indeed...... The news of the fall of Kruchen probably made the Marquis of Rogner a little on pins and needles. ”
"Let Olaf Craig come out of the mountain and bite it at any time...... Indeed it is. Irina said indifferently, "However, this also means that he must devote more energy to the battlefield on the front line. Originally, Lieutenant General Sykes should have been helpless about this, and I was ready to move the means to ......."
"However, what I found during the last expedition made the president change his mind." Sharon's voice was still as seductive and dangerous as before, "I spotted the Grey Knight Statue that Dawn was driving last time somewhere west of Nolde...... This means that they should have also reached the Nolde Plateau, and have begun to familiarize themselves with the situation in the vicinity, and know about the conductive signal shielding. ”
"So -- they should be able to be the key to changing the situation." The "Rider of the Grey" has made the regular army suffer in the western part of the empire, and even if it is a little immature, there is no reason why the "gray" can't do the same. Irina continued to state her reasons in a cold tone.
"Please wait a minute...... Sarah is not an ordinary person, and she will not be affected by this powerful aura casually, "but in this way, they will be involved in the civil war in a posture of active intervention - this is absolutely not allowed." As students, they shouldn't be so ......"
"From the moment the state of Kruchen was liberated, it was no longer something that could be explained by the position of their students." Irina said categorically, "If you retreat at this time and become a half-ass, you will be in a dilemma, so it is better to follow the trend to the end." Besides, it doesn't seem like that's what your students do...... As far as I know, on the surface, the liberation of Kruchen is the second son of the Duke of Elbarian's family and Olaf Craig, a lieutenant general in the regular army, but in fact, there should be a real planner and promoter hidden behind it, right? ”
"This ......" Sarah was in trouble—in this way, Heliga's stance towards the civil war can be said to be not only actively involved, but even somewhat radical. Are your students involved because of this? Or was there no choice from the start?
"Actually, it's a very clever thing to do." Irina changed her posture, looked at Sarah with a sharp gaze, and said eloquently: "Class VII has already shown its composition at the beginning of its formation, and this is not an ordinary class - all the people in this class have family members and allies, friends and this civil war is deeply involved. In other words, it was impossible to stand alone from the start. ”
Irina's words were calm, but they pierced Sarah's heart deeply - deep down she had to admit that she was right. The three men of Macchias, Jusis, and Laura all had the surnames of the Empire's great names and were either nobles or popular politicians; Eliot's father, the first general of the regular army, was a direct participant in this civil war; Miriam is a member of the Intelligence Bureau, and was originally hunted down, and Alyssa is the daughter of the director of the Empire's largest military manufacturer, and at this moment she is also on the run - Lane was originally just the son of a nobleman in a remote area, but because of the "Gray Rider" who also looks promising, it will inevitably be the focus of attention of the Noble Alliance. Not to mention Heliga - from the moment she learned of his relationship with Olybat, Sarah never felt that he would do nothing in this civil war and just wait for it to pass.
In this way, the only people who may have nothing to do with the civil war are Gaius and Emma, as well as Faye. However, Fei himself and Heliga are one and the same, and the will of the two is naturally in the same direction; Although Emma is only a commoner from the border, Sarah has long seen that her existence is very special, especially the special existence of the "Riding God", which is absolutely inextricably linked with the family behind her, and Vita, whom she calls her sister, is a direct helper of the aristocratic alliance, and it doesn't look like a person who can get rid of the relationship. Gaius really had nothing to do with the Civil War, but only this one incident - the flames of the Civil War spread to the Norde Plateau, a land that has always been peaceful and peaceful, and the good relations between the Empire and the Nords for hundreds of years began to creak because of these things. Gaius had reason not to care about all the wars that took place elsewhere in the Empire, but this time, only this time in his homeland, he could not sit idly by.
"Looks like you've figured it out. In this case, don't think about running away, but think about how to take advantage of such an opportunity. Irina waited quietly for Instructor Sarah to be there alone, and after a moment, she said, "I'm inviting you here to join us in our project—in fact, we're already in contact with another rebel force in the city all along, hoping to get their help." With our guarantee, the reasonableness and legality of your actions are guaranteed. If you just want to protect your students, that's more convenient, right? ”
"Specifically, what are you going to do?" Sarah thought about it for a moment and decided to go into more detail.
"It's simple. My goal, of course, is to take back control of what belongs to me in the first place, which is the "RF Agency". But if this is the case, it must be something that the Marquis of Rogner does not want to see...... That is, it is unlikely that the Marquis of Rogner himself would agree to this. That's why Angelica Rogner's help is needed. ”
"......" Sarah vaguely guessed Irina's intentions.
"Yes...... That's it. Don't look at me as I'm on the run now, but I still have a lot of loyal followers in the city. They can be used by me then, and Sharon helps me, so I don't need you to worry about it here. ”
"Then you are ......"
"There's another thing that I'm afraid will require your intervention. But before we do that, let's get the problem out of the way - if I'm not mistaken, tomorrow you and Sharon will probably have to go to the Surveillance Tower. ”
