Chapter 879: Meeting
As an outsider, Duanmu Huai of course could not meddle in the political disputes within the Paretiya Kingdom, but he didn't need to, because soon, the king gave another order——— in view of Duanmu Huai's outstanding performance in the previous battle, he and Princess Aynisfia would lead a small detachment dedicated to air combat to be responsible for air combat.
Of course, because there are only two people who can fly, Duanmu Huai and Anice Fia, so Duanmu Huai didn't care too much at first.
Until he and Anice Fia meet...............
"What the hell are you doing?"
Seeing that Anice Fia was followed by a team of heavily armed soldiers, Duanmu Huai was speechless.
"Will they all fly?"
"It's not ......... But aren't we going on a campaign? Stations and the like are also needed on the battlefield......... So they're mainly responsible for guarding ........."
"Oh, okay, understandable, what's going on here?"
Hearing Anicefia's answer, Duanmu Huai didn't care, after all, strictly speaking, it is not wrong, if you compare yourself and Anicefia to pilots, then these soldiers are equivalent to ground crew, which is understandable.
But...............
Duanmu Huai looked at the girls behind Anice Fia suspiciously, which was a little incomprehensible.
"Ah, this is my maid'........."
"It's okay if you want to bring a maid, but what's the matter with the two eldest ladies?"
"Huh? Don't you know, Mr. Inquisitor? ”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Aenisfia hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
"In fact, my father had already decreed that all the nobles of the Kingdom of Parretia must send people to participate in this battle to recover the Northland fortress........."
Well, the legitimacy of the royal family and nobles of the Paretyan Kingdom comes from their ability to use elven magic to protect the people, so it makes sense for the king to give this order.
Oh, I see.
Duanmu Huai also understood what Anice Fia meant, it was obvious that His Majesty the King had given an order, and of course the nobles would not disobey it, but they also knew that the battlefield was a dangerous place, and no one wanted their sons and daughters to die on the battlefield.
However, the battlefield was also a place for nobles to make achievements, and if a nobleman could make a meritorious contribution in this war, it would obviously be a good thing.
It is clear, however, that merit and danger are directly proportional.
So, is there a position that can get credit and is not dangerous?
Hey, there really is.
This is the "air team" where Agnis Fia and Duanmu Huai are located, after all, strictly speaking, as the "air force", only Duanmu Huai and Aenis Fia are fighting, and the others belong to the ground crew supporting in the rear. From this point of view, on the one hand, this can indeed be regarded as going to the battlefield, and on the other hand, it can also establish a certain amount of merit.
It's not huge, but at least it can save your life.........
"For the record, I'm not here to make any meritorious deeds."
Perhaps it was the expression on Duanmu Huai's face that revealed his thoughts, and one of them immediately said coldly, it was a pale-complexion-like girl like a necromancer, wearing a black lace gown and long purple hair. Although her appearance is also a symbol, looking at her sunken dark circles, it is very necromancer's style.
"You are?"
"I'm Tilty. Kuraret, who is a friend of this strange man, came here mainly to keep an eye on this guy, lest she kill herself out of tune for something inexplicable. ”
"And Tirty is also a very famous collector of curses, if it is against demons, I think her knowledge will definitely come in handy."
“…………… Hum. ”
Hearing Anicefia's introduction, the girl named Tilti snorted coldly and turned her head, oh......... So she's a friend of Anicefia, and it's understandable that she's going to come with her because she's worried about her friends.
"And what about that one?"
Duanmu Huai raised his chin and pointed at another girl standing not far away, who couldn't help curling up and lowering his head.
"Hello for the first time, Inquisitor, I'm Euphelia. Mazanta. ”
"Okay, I'm the Inquisitor Duanmu Huai, and this is Ogis."
Duanmu Huai nodded, then looked at Anicefia again with a puzzled look, waiting for her to give her an explanation. And Anice Fia also seemed to have a complicated expression, and smiled bitterly.
"Ah, that's right, Miss Euphelia......... It's my brother's fiancée. ”
"Your brother's fiancée?"
"That's right, Algard, the next king, so Euphelia is the next princess."
Speaking of this, Anice Fia suddenly became excited.
"How? It's very powerful, as a noble daughter, not only knows martial arts, but also the adaptability of the magic that can be used is also the first in the past dynasties, and he is still the pride of the sky who has won the favor of elves! And it's so beautiful and beautiful! It can be regarded as a national treasure of the Kingdom of Paretia. ”
Seeing Anice Fia's expression of showing off the giant panda, Duanmu Huai also rolled her eyes helplessly.
"So, is she amazing?"
"Of course, in the new generation, Miss Euphelia is the strongest magician!"
"Your Highness Aenisfia, you say so........."
Hearing Anicefia's appreciative praise, Euphelia also seemed to be very embarrassed and bowed her head.
However, Duanmu Huai frowned.
"Then why did she come to you? As the next princess, shouldn't she fight with that prince on the front line? At least from what you said, she is not without combat effectiveness, in the face of the battle between humans and demons, the front line is in need of strong help at this moment, so what is the matter with her running to us to fish? ”
"Aha............ This ............"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's merciless inquiry, Anice Fia suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, looking left and right and not knowing what to say, and at this time, Euphelia spoke.
"It's an order from His Highness Algaard."
"The prince asked you to come?"
"Yes, Your Highness wants me to come here......"
“…………………”
Duanmu Huai looked at Euphelia who was silent with her head down, then at Anice Fia who looked embarrassed next to her, and Tirti who stood on the other side with a look of indifference. Final Decision...............
What does it have to do with me.
"Well, you're here, and I won't say anything more, except that I want to tell you that this is not a place of peace."
"Huh? Is that so? ”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Euphelia raised her head to look at him in some surprise, and then hurriedly lowered her head again.
………………… Your reaction is so sad.
"Of course."
Duanmu Huai glared at Euphelia.
"Only me and Aenisfia can fight in the air, the other party will definitely want to get rid of the two of us, and it is impossible to win against me head-on, so the demons will most likely choose to attack our weak part, which is you......... So, you have to think clearly, this is not a good place to fish, maybe when, when I go out to fight with Anice Fia, there will be demons coming down from the sky, killing you all, and then leaving the corpses as a declaration of war for us, to be honest, this possibility is not small, it will become quite big with the advancement of the war, you have to be mentally prepared for this. ”
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai looked coldly at the people in front of him.
"How? Are you mentally prepared for this? ”
“……………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai's threat, several soldiers showed uneasy expressions on their faces, obviously, Duanmu Huai's threat hit their inner uneasiness.
Tilty, on the other hand, chuckled.
"It doesn't matter, in fact, I still want to see what those demons are capable of. I've always wanted to see the difference between demon magic and human magic, but unfortunately I never had the opportunity, and now it's rare to have such an opportunity, so I won't let it go. ”
"Me too."
At this time, Euphelia also raised her head, stared at Duanmu Huai, and mustered up her courage.
"As the daughter of the Mazanta family, as the next princess, as a nobleman, I will also fight to protect this country and its people, even if I sacrifice my life for it."
It's a rhetoric that is very much in line with the status of an honor student.
Regarding Euffhelia's answer, Duanmu Huai didn't care, saying that anyone would say that it was another thing to be really on the battlefield. Anicefia's words, Duanmu Huai is not worried, because he has seen the other party's battle before, at least Anicefia has really killed her, and the young lady in front of her, I'm afraid she hasn't even killed a chicken, just reciting the standard answer here, it's not interesting.
What it was like on the battlefield is another story.
Just don't scare the pee.
"Well, that's what it is."
Duanmu Huai didn't say much, just waved his hand casually, and then looked at Anice Fia.
"Well, about the command side."
"My father said it would be good for you to take command."
"I'm coming?"
"That's right."
Speaking of this, Anice Fia also had a relieved expression, stretched out her hand and patted Duanmu Huai's arm——— her shoulders were too high, she couldn't pat it.
"I'll leave it to you, Inquisitor."
Good fellow, leave all the trouble to me.
Duanmu Huai snorted coldly, of course he understood what the king meant, as a valuable air combat force, he was sure that all parts of the army needed their help, how to make a decision when the time came? There are only two of them, and they don't know how to doppelgänger, so they definitely need to make a decision, and Anice Fia, as a member of the royal family, doesn't seem to be very popular among the nobles, and if she is allowed to make a decision, the situation will only get worse.
And Duanmu Huai is an outsider, and it has nothing to do with the nobles of Parredia, so it's easier for him to make a decision, isn't it?
This is a misleading output for yourself, the king, you remember it for me, I have a grudge.
Duanmu Huai silently opened the small notebook in his heart and made a note for the king.
Wait until I find out the true identity of the magic elves, and then I'll settle accounts with you.
