Chapter 153: A Difficult Appointment
The duel ended like this, and the soldiers were satisfied, because they had been given enough eyes and talking points. Yulian was also satisfied, because he also got a little bit of information from this performance in his favor. And Semya was also very satisfied, because at the moment she was in Yuren's arms, squinting her eyes like a cat, and letting Yuren stroke her hair. It can be said that everyone is happy - or not, because there are still people who are dissatisfied.
When the hapless nobleman was carried off the field, in fact, there was only incoming air and no out, although Seminya deliberately showed mercy for the sake of performance, but high-level magic is high-level magic, just like a nuclear bomb weighs only 0.1 milligram, which is also a nuclear bomb and not a bullet. White lightning, cold ice, and the hammer of the earth. These three consecutive high-level magic had already hollowed out the poor nobleman's body, so he had no way to resist Seminya's attack, so on the night he was carried back, the poor guy died with a whimper, and he died before he even had time to leave half a last word.
Of course, his retainers wouldn't just leave it at that, in fact, shortly after his death, those guys went straight to the high command, hoping that Lord Celt would give them an explanation.
"This is a murder! This is an evil plot, our heirs of the Chenis family cannot die like this, we need to get justice!!"
Although they shouted with great indignation, Celtic obviously didn't mean to go crazy with them, he just waved his hand casually, and sent these troublesome guys out completely. Just a Chenis family, Celtic will not take it seriously, in the empire, this is just a second-rate nobleman, and now that the war is about to break out, if it can't be stopped, those nobles will soon become the soul of the sword, so he doesn't care about the heir or not, not to mention, the other party is still a "second" The heir, except for the fact that those who follow him will die and be sad, I am afraid that even within their family, they will not have any opinion on the death of this heir, so naturally they will not be stupid enough to turn their faces with that terrible young man for the sake of such a meaningless guy.
At this moment, Celtic's face was heavy, and he crouched down at the table, staring solemnly at the map in front of him. There are many places on the map with bright red crosses, where humans have fought against the One-Eyed tribe, and now, such a mark has marked the entire map.
As long as he dressed his men as adventurers, and then insisted that he didn't know the origin of these people, the Sith Empire would never be able to force himself on his head. However, he still did not choose this plan, the reason is very simple, Celtic knows very well that there are too few qualified people under his hands.
Although the One-Eyed tribe has caused losses to the Red Fortress, they are mainly harassing after all, and the real right-hand men under their command are preparing to deal with the upcoming war with the Sith Empire, which are all valuable talents, but they cannot be wasted on this kind of thing. You must know that the strength of these monsters of the One-Eyed Tribe is not weak, and it is now the territory of the Sith Empire, in case it is caught in an urn by the Sith Empire, then this hard-cultivated talent will be blind.
If it's just a matter of manpower, Celtic will also bite the bullet, and he should use the number of people to exchange for quiet, and it is always a loss to be able to settle down and prepare for the war. But no matter how he calculated, he finally found out helplessly that if he wanted to solve these guys, then the soldiers to be consumed were not a small number. Otherwise, there is no way to knock it down.
These are also the two centers of Celtic distress - manpower, quality.
But now, Yulian has helped him solve this problem.
He had seen the skills of that young man, only higher than himself, and today, that girl also showed her terrifying strength in front of him. If that young man's subordinates really have such strength, then it would be a good idea to let them solve this problem. But......... Celt's frown did not mean relief at all, he understood what Yuren meant, in fact, he was secretly surprised by the young man's keen touch. Because of the current situation, that is, Celtic also spent several months after in-depth investigation and understanding before making a judgment. But the young man had just arrived, and had just gone out with the patrol for a while, and then chatted with himself for a few words, but soon discovered the problem. And this duel is probably also a bargaining chip to reassure yourself. Celtic was sure that even if the short-sighted guy didn't provoke Julien, he would have his own way of taking the initiative to do something to prove to himself that he was good enough to complete the task.
But.................. Celtic thought about it, but in the end, he couldn't decide, and the reason was simple - O'Faryl was also on that team.
For Her Royal Highness the former princess, Celtic thinks that she still knows very well, and she has no problem traveling and exercising. But the rapid march and ambush of this kind of army in the field, the battle is difficult for ordinary people to endure. And this princess has no combat experience at all, he even complained a little about what Yu Lian was doing when he was full and had nothing to do, why did he bring this princess to work, didn't he know the current battle situation?
Of course, complaining is complaining, and Celt also understands that Yulian must have his intentions in doing this, but after all, this is the former princess, although it is no longer the same, but the original friendship is still left. Moreover, after passing Yuren's hint and realizing that Offariel's death might have another reason, Celt was even more upset, and did not want her to be in any danger again. So although Yulian had given him enough hints, he still hadn't been able to make up his mind.
"Hey..............."
Looking at the map in front of him, Celt let out a long sigh, then he shook his head helplessly and looked back at the map.
"We've done what we have to do. ”
And at this moment, Yu Lian was also in his room, with a sly smile that revealed a hint of elegance, and said to everyone.
"Celtic is not a mediocre general, he should be able to make a choice. ”
"But that's just your reasoning, Lady Yuren. ”
Offariel frowned slightly, then spoke.
"Why are you so sure that General Celtic will do this? ”
"It's simple. ”
The fingers of Yulian's right hand tapped the table.
"Judging by the information we've got so far, it's been a while since the Red Fortress was attacked by these one-eyed monsters. However, Celtic did not choose to take the initiative to attack but to defend passively, which shows that he has no confidence in destroying the enemy's main force at one time. And at dinner, I also carefully looked at his subordinates, although the strength is not strong, but it is not too weak. If they are really willing to make up their minds, then a mere one-eyed tribe can naturally handle it. But it's clear that they don't want to make such a sacrifice right now. ”
"Why?"
O'Faryl asked curiously, and then she immediately tapped her palm.
"By the way, my lord, you said that those one-eyed tribes are just harassing, and these generals are important personnel of the fortress, if they are allowed to deal with these monsters regardless of sacrifice, they will be fooled by the other party?"
"That's right. ”
You Lian snapped his fingers proudly, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has grown a little in military affairs, although it is not enough to be amazing, but at least it is much better than when there was no common sense before.
"But at this point, we can't be sure that the general will agree with Lord Yuren. ”
And at this moment, Charlotte, who had been standing quietly behind Yuren, spoke.
"Why?"
Hearing Charlotte's words, Offariel was a little surprised.
"If things really go the way Eulen-sama says, then aren't we the best option? Brother Celtic ...... The general was reluctant to trade his men for time. However, we noble private armies have nothing to do with the fortress in the first place, and from a political point of view, if General Celtic asks Lord Yulian to carry out this mission, then it will be good for His Majesty's side to explain, at least it can show that he is acting under His Majesty's orders. ”
Having said this, Offariel did not say any more, in fact she did not say a word - whether His Majesty intended to sell face or really wanted to do so, the Celtic General's actions would also show the nobles that they were not going to him for tourism and military exploits, but for the real battle, and in this case, I am afraid that the great nobles would be even more reluctant to let them go, and His Majesty's plan would be frustrated.
It's really ill-conceived.
At the moment, Ofariel's mood was a little complicated, on the one hand, she was a little worried about the plans of His Majesty, and on the other hand, she found that she seemed to be a little -- gloating?
"It's not that simple, Miss O'Faryl. ”
Charlotte only said one word, and then closed her mouth, and when Offariel looked up in surprise, she found that Julien was looking at her with a playful smile.
"What do you mean ............"
"Yes, because of your presence, Miss O'Fariel. ”
Saying this, Yulian spread his hands.
"I don't know much about the relationship between you and General Celtic, but it's clear that you know each other, and he knows you well. I'm not afraid to tell you that if General Celtic really chooses us for this mission, you will encounter dangers and difficulties that you have never encountered before, which is no more leisurely than when we killed bandits in the twilight forest, this is a very difficult task, and frankly, General Celtic does not think you are up to it. ”
"This ..............."
O'Faryl frowned, in fact, unlike Celt thought, although O'Faryl himself was very resistant to this expedition, it was mostly because of the territory's affairs. Once it really came out, she had a glimmer of expectation for such a life, as a princess, O'Faryl had not participated in any military operations in her previous life or in her life, she couldn't in the past, and now she has no such limitation, people will always have some expectations for what they can't do, so O'Faryl is also looking forward to this trip in her heart. Moreover, she is not a weak woman without any power, and her strength is even higher than those orc soldiers. The so-called application of what he has learned, O'Faryl has studied for so long, and he can't help but want to try it a little in his heart.
Another reason is that when I was training, I was beaten so badly by the sisters every day, so I should always have something in return, right?
But if this is really the problem at the moment, then I can't talk too much. In fact, O'Faryl also knew that Celtic recognized her, but she also gave her own attitude, she was no longer the princess of the past, but a stranger who had nothing to do with them, so she naturally wouldn't go to Celt to say anything.
"Don't worry about that, General Celtic is not an incompetent person after all. ”
Yulian waved his hand, apparently not taking the matter to heart.
"After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the fortress, and now he is responsible not only for his own soldiers, but also for the entire country's borders, and I think he should know what to do. ”
Saying this, Yu Lian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"After all, he is a military man. ”
