"Reward?"

Offariel was surprised to hear this, and frankly, she had never expected to receive any reward. Although it is normal to give a reward after winning a battle. But with O'Fariel's former identity, she has always stood on the position of "giving rewards", and basically has never "accepted rewards". After all, as a princess, her status is noble enough, and her life is luxurious enough, plus Offariel herself doesn't value these material rewards very much, so she has hardly had such an experience all this time. And now, hearing Yulian say this, Ofariel's heart beat uncontrollably, and she couldn't figure out if it was because she was getting nervous or because of something else.

"That's right. ”

Yulian nodded, and then spoke.

"Since you are my lieutenant, I think it is necessary for you to have a team of your own soldiers...... Although the strength of these orcs is not very strong, they are not weak. Today's battle has already proved each other to both of you, so from tomorrow onwards, these orc mercenaries will be under your jurisdiction. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Ofaril's eyes widened in surprise.

Of course she knew what Yuren meant.

"Lord Yuren, you mean, I'......... Yes..............."

"There's still a lot of work to be done, but as far as you stand, you're doing well. ”

Yuren shrugged his shoulders, then said with a smile. In fact, he had long understood Ofariel's thoughts, and as a latecomer, she was always unable to fit in with the others. One of the reasons for this is that the other people's forces are so different from Ofariel. Judy leads the Spirit Guard, and its members are all knight-level strength. Charlotte, on the other hand, leads a special combat force, and although its frontal combat effectiveness is not worth a question, its asymmetrical combat effectiveness is very strong. Compared to them, Offariel is alone. Of course, although O'Fariel is nominally Yuren's lieutenant, she can mobilize these forces as long as she conveys Yuren's orders, or if Yuren gives orders. But O'Faryl is a former princess after all, and she has a lot of self-esteem, and she must not like to do this kind of thing.

Moreover, even if she is willing, it does not mean that the spirits are willing. These spirits are all from the chaotic era, and the top talents among the major forces. In addition to its strength and status, the status and bloodline are also very noble. Charlotte was once the heiress of one of the most influential ancient alchemy families in the continent, while Judy was the princess of a nation. The status of the others is also different, and the lowest class is also the daughter of the duke. So in such an environment, there is no problem for them to get along with Ofaril on an equal footing. But if Offariel did try to control and command them, the spirits would be unwilling.

The reason why they are willing to obey Yulian's orders is that in addition to the compulsory surnames between the contracts, there is naturally the attachment between the female surname and the male surname, and the gap in strength is there. But O'Faryl doesn't have that charisma. Although her Phantom surname is considered the nemesis of the geists, in the eyes of the geists, this is an innate talent that does not require hard work, and it is not worthy of respect. Only respect earned by one's own efforts is the only value. Moreover, there is a first-come-first-served approach to everything, and before Offariel was even born, these geyers had already followed Yuren on his conquests, loyally fighting for him. And O'Faryl is just a new demon soul who has just woken up, so what qualifications does he have to ride on their heads?

But if Ofariel does not have a power of his own, then the two sides will never be equal, and the estrangement will not be bridged. Therefore, in order to prevent a fire in his backyard, Yu Lian chose such a way. These mercenaries were originally prepared by him for Offariel, after all, although they now have mid-level strength, they are still too far behind in Judy's eyes. So there's no way to control it, but it's just right for O'Fariel. That's why he made great efforts to recruit these people, and even ordered Charlotte and others to provide these mercenaries with the best equipment and opportunities to improve their strength. Although these mercenaries are not expected to be able to rise to the level of the spirit warriors, at least they can't be too bad.

And today's battle is something that Yulian has been preparing for a long time, and he needs to see with his own eyes Ofaril's ability to grasp the battle situation, as well as his mentality when he is on the spot. Only then can the final decision be made, if Offariel's performance disappoints him, then he will have to send the former princess back to the Twilight Forest, and let her obediently become an archon, and she will no longer need to talk about military problems in the future. As for these mercenaries, naturally, they will be used to fill the combat power of Valhalla City as Yulian said to Ofariel before, and they will be completely thrown away when they are no longer useful.

But now, Offariel has passed Yuren's test, so it's time for this gift, which has been prepared for a long time, to give her.

"I see what you mean, Lady Yuren. ”

Although Offariel didn't know about this, after hearing Yuren's answer, her face still couldn't help but show a hint of relief and joy. As Yulian thought, as an adjutant, she was under a lot of pressure. Judy and Charlotte were so close to Yuren that he couldn't tell them what to do. Even in today's battle, in the face of Charlotte, O'Faryl used a pleading tone, which is not to say that Charlotte and the others are arrogant and don't listen to orders, but O'Faryl himself knows that he is not their master after all.

And now, she actually has her own personal soldiers!?

The news immediately dispelled the exhaustion of Ofaryl's body, and she felt extremely excited and joyful. At this moment, she has already begun to think about how to maximize the power of this force, and how to pacify and communicate with these orcs...... These plans immediately filled her brain, and began to boil rapidly.

"I'll try to do my best, Yuren-sama, and I won't let you down. ”

Then, with a smile of joy, Ofariel solemnly assured Yuren.

The battle in the valley ended in a complete victory for Yuren, and for Yuren, he originally planned to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with the Sith Empire, and then pull out the commander of the other side. But since Sidwig appeared in front of him on his own initiative, the next plan was meaningless, so, after resting in place for a long time, he led his team back to the fortress. At the same time, a request to meet with the Celtic general was made.

Celtic was a little surprised when the guards reported that Yuren wanted to see him, and frankly speaking, since Yuren and the others left, he had already issued an order for the guards at the entrance and exit to pay close attention to the movements of Yuren and the others, and to report to him as soon as they returned. Especially last night, after the guards spotted the skyrocketing fire on the deep side of the valley, Celt had already guessed that Yulian had probably succeeded in his mission. He also specially issued an order to let the patrols around him pay more attention, and report back as soon as they found the traces of Yulian and others. But even so, it seems that it is still not possible to find out, and it is really hard for Celtic to imagine how Yuren led a troop to perfectly evade his search and quietly enter the fortress.

If you can't figure it out, you don't think about it, so Celt immediately puts the question behind her, and lets Julien into her room.

Yuren, who re-entered this room, did not seem to Celtic to be the same as before, there was no exhaustion from the dust, and there was no relaxation after the battle. The young man was still wearing the same outfit as before, spotless, clean as if he had just been washed.

"General Celtic. ”

You Lian walked into the room, bowed slightly to the old man in front of him, and bowed.

"Fortunately, I was not dishonored. ”

"Worthy of Mr. Yuren. ”

Hearing this answer, Celtic's expression instantly relaxed.

"I knew you were going to make it. ”

"It's not entirely my credit. ”

Yulian obviously didn't mean to take the credit for his subordinates.

"In fact, a lot of the credit for this victory is to Miss O'Farel. ”

"You mean ............ The young lady?"

Hearing this, Celtic was a little stunned, he was already old and thought he had no imagination. But in any case, I can't imagine how Her Royal Highness the Princess, who has nothing to do with the military, can play a great role in such an operation and battle. In the past, it was only known that her political talent was excellent, could it be said that Her Royal Highness the princess still had good military talent?

"What is the situation of the fortress now?"

However, Yulian obviously didn't mean to explain more carefully, he just smiled and said, and then changed the subject. Hearing this, Celtic had no choice but to answer as he spoke.

"It's a good situation, a few days ago we have attacked the one-eyed monsters to the maximum extent possible, and have eliminated more than seventy people. I think that's the limit of how they can sneak up on the troops out there, and if you've wiped out their nests, then these guys shouldn't pose any threat to us. ”

"That's fine. ”

Hearing this, Yulian smiled and nodded, but Celt didn't see the smugness in his eyes.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"It's simple, shrink the defenses, reorganize the armament. ”

Celt reached out of his hand, but there was unconcealed worry on his face.

"Actually, Mr. Yuren, there is a more troublesome problem that has not been resolved, if you will..............."

Celtic didn't finish his words, because at this moment, a herald rushed into the room, and then reported to Celtic with an anxious face.

"Report to your lordship, the group is here again. ”

"Again?"

Hearing the herald's report, Celtic's brow immediately furrowed, and he stood up with his hands on his desk, then sighed.

"I see, I'll take care of it. ”

With that, Celt looked up at Yuren.

"Mr. Yuren, I hope you can come with me. ”
