Chapter 002: The Intention of the Army of Spades
“...... That's roughly the case, except for the first, fourth, and eighth squads guarding the royal capital, the rest of the squads will soon come one after another, so they may have to bother His Excellency the Earl a lot in the next period of time. A slightly rough, unfamiliar voice came from the study.
When Rorschach arrived, the conversation in the study had already begun for a short time, but the first words that Rorschach heard had already shocked him a little...... Except for the first, fourth, and eighth squads guarding the royal capital, the rest of the squads will soon come one after another, so doesn't that mean that the 'Army of Spades' will use the strength of two squadrons?
"What is it that can make the 'Army of Spades' so aggressive? Rorschach's heart shook.
"Captain Moore said it seriously, no one wants this to happen. The middle-aged man's voice came, and Rorschach was no stranger to this voice, it was the voice of his father, the Earl of Neptune, "If you really want to care, I should thank you, if the matter is really related to 'that group of people', I am afraid it will be difficult for me to deal with this matter alone...... It's just, is this really about them?"
"The Count doesn't believe me?" asked the rough voice rhetorically.
"I don't doubt the 'Army of Spades', but after all, the stakes are high, so I can't be cautious. Earl Neptune said.
"The Earl's suspicions are not unreasonable, the area we are in has always been called a barren land by 'that group', and the last incident about them was decades ago......" The rough voice said without anger, "However, it is Lord Reilly who made this judgment, and I think Lord Reilly should have his reasons for making this judgment. ”
"Captain Reilly...... I understand. ”
Rorschach's father, the Earl of Neptune, was visibly solemn when he heard the name.
The captain of the 'Army of Spades', whose power ranks among the top three in the 'Flame Kingdom', not to mention his unpredictable terrifying strength, although this Earl Father of Rorschach is also a big nobleman, but compared to the Captain of the Reilly, it is a notch behind.
"I came early to let you ...... Huh?" the rough voice froze.
Because suddenly there was a loud shout outside the study!
"Bold!who?!"
Bang!!!
A huge crash sounded!
The air currents from the collision shook the door of the study open, allowing Rorschach to see what was going on inside the study.
In the study, the Earl of Neptune was discussing matters with a burly, bearded man in light armor, until the door of the study was slammed open, and the two of them looked at the door together.
"Stop!" said the Earl of Neptune, hurrying when he saw his son Rorschach standing outside the door.
The bearded man probably understood what was going on, and shouted, "Aguero, stop!"
In the corridor behind Rorschach, a red-haired man in light armor was looking at the person opposite him with a look of jealousy, and across from him was a chubby, round-faced little old man with his hands behind his back, blocking between the red-haired man and Rorschach.
Needless to say, the short, fat old man who was vaguely confronting the red-haired man was none other than Rorschach's subordinate Heimquith.
The red-haired man was about to make a move, but was stopped by a voice from the study.
At this moment, the two people in the study also walked out.
"What's going on?" asked the bearded man.
"I originally wanted to report something to you, my lord, but I happened to see these two people sneakily eavesdropping outside the study, so I was about to take them down first, but I didn't expect to miss it......" The red-haired man said this, and glanced at Heimkis solemnly.
"Earl Neptune?" the bearded man looked sideways at Rorschach's father, asking for an explanation.
"This is my son Rorschach, a young man who is more curious and has no malice. Earl Neptune smiled lightly, then looked at Rorschach again, "Rorschach, haven't you seen your Uncle Moore yet?"
"Hello Uncle Moore. Rorschach said hello 'obediently'.
"It turned out to be the earl's son, that seems to be a misunderstanding. The strong man Moore also smiled, and then looked at Heimquis again, and wondered, "And what is this Excellency?"
"This is the child's subordinate, Heimquis. The Earl of Neptune wondered.
"Well, I see. The strong man Moore nodded, didn't say anything, just walked out of the study and said to the Earl of Neptune, "Then Earl Law will have to worry more about this matter, please let me know as soon as possible if you find anything." ”
"It should be. Earl Neptune replied with a smile.
When the brawny man Moore left, the red-haired man followed, glancing back at Heimquis before leaving.
The Earl of Neptune quietly watched the figure of the strong man Moore disappear into view, then looked at Rorschach and scolded with a smile, "What kind of trouble are you kid?"
"I'm just a little curious about why the legendary 'Army of Spades' suddenly arrived, could it be that something big happened?" Rorschach asked, looking at the direction in which the strong man Moore had disappeared.
"That's true," said Earl Neptune...... smiled.
"Oh?" Rorschach tilted his head.
"Come on in, I just happen to have something to tell you about. The Earl of Neptune turned and walked back to his study.
"Yes. Rorschach followed.
Heimkis didn't say a word the whole time, just silently followed Rorschach.
......
Back in the temporary room, the strong man Moore sat on the chair, looked at the red-haired man lightly and said, "The dignified 'Army of Spades' squad leader actually suffered a loss from a subordinate, you have really grown, Aguero......"
"Please forgive Lord Moore, I was careless this time. The red-haired man Aguero half-knelt on the ground and bowed his head.
"Negligence is not a reason for your incompetence!" the strong man Moore's voice became a little heavier, and he reprimanded, "After this mission, I will let Deerno temporarily take your place, and wait for when you have made meritorious service and when you will talk about reinstatement." ”
"Yes!"
The red-haired man replied with some shame.
"However, through this thing...... I was a little impressed by the Earl of Neptune. "Although I don't believe that this kind of strong man who can make you deflated can be a mere inferior, but from the known information, he is indeed not the three knights known to this Earl of Neptune, which is enough to explain a lot." ”
"Your Excellency, you mean there's something wrong with Earl Neptune?" the red-haired man Aguero looked up.
"Not really. The strong man Moore shook his head and muttered, "This Earl of Neptune can have the status he has today, all because of the merits of the year and the trust of the royal family, among the many great nobles, he is one of the few people who are least likely to have problems...... However, I have to admit that I underestimated him a little, and judging from the situation today, this Earl of Neptune is not easy either......"
