Path of The Dragonborn

"That... Your Excellency, no matter how you say it, it's too..." The old butler, Arnold, lamented so-his master is always discussed by outsiders, and he may not be ignorant. But when such an order that now seemed so absurd was given, he also felt extremely unreasonable, so he even ignored the unconditional respect for him at ordinary times and said: "It's just for this reason..."

What caused the Duke's anger to erupt was something sent by a certain hunter commander in the afternoon.

The Duke was originally pushed back by the Fourth Mech Division on the front, and Lufas's inaction was very angry. And when he got the sample in the hands of the commander, he was extremely angry.

Just after they withdrew from the Ssangyong Bridge generation, they were ordered to disguise and investigate the situation of the "Ned Hogg" soldiers, but unexpectedly saw such a scene-the businessmen in the trading town of Kyle Dick seemed to be with that one. The regular army officers are discussing something. Looking at their enthusiastic expressions, they were completely different from when their soldiers were collecting taxes there.

Of course, in the eyes of the Duke of El Barrea, these businessmen are just dispensable spoilers. Their only purpose is to pay money and contribute to their great cause. As for the tax rate, it is yours. Do groups of hybrid businessmen have a say?

Therefore, the different attitudes of these merchants towards the regular army and the noble army made the Duke of El Barrea very angry. However, what made him even more unbelievable was that the soldiers of the regular army came to Keldyk in the occupied area this time, and their purpose turned out to be-in order to clearly belong to the residents of Keldyk among the materials they obtained in the process of suppression. That part was returned, and a follow-up claim plan was also arranged. This is simply unforgivable for the Duke of El Barrea.

You, my inhabitants, who are the rulers of Kruchin State, are involved in these regular army anti-thief at this moment? And after seeing the attitude of the other party, not only did he not know that he was showing hostility, he also wanted to reach an agreement with the regular army like this, and completely fell to their side?

what? The line of defense of the regular army will move forward in the next few days, bringing a piece of territory including Kyle Dick under its command, and the planners will continue to march toward the fortress of Orlos? Seeing the report of the hunting soldiers clearly stated such news, it made the Duke of El Barrea feel like he heard thunder on a sunny day.

It's horrible... Helmut's old fingers were tightly buckled into the flesh, almost bleeding-these **** guys...

The old Otuna has been hindering me since a few years ago. Now that the war is going on, he not only continues to intercede for the so-called leaders, but also announces that he will join the regular army with the entire town?

This incident caused the Duke of El Barrea, who had always regarded himself very high, to be deeply hurt by his self-esteem. And his eldest son, who was originally very trusting, is now also indifferent to his furious anger. He doesn't seem to have any plans to continue to help, he only knows to continue to shirk; the two helpers he found are dressed up strangely, and he only knows all day long. Sitting on the sofa and dozing off, the other is a little girl who is completely stinky. What are they good for? Besides accounting for half of the ration for the two?

What made him even more angry was that even earlier today, some small problems occurred in the downtown area of ​​Ballahart-the guy from Amancia didn't take care of the **** under him. Nobles, they actually questioned themselves just because of a loss in a fur business, and even let people persuade themselves in the city?

If it weren't for Juss's skill, he had suppressed the riot in time-the Duke of El Barrea could not imagine what would happen. Originally, the nobles didn't care much about the war, so not many people knew about the things that they hadn't made any substantial progress. But if this incident breaks out with this opportunity, how will it affect your prestige?

You guys only know how to do fur business and count the pigs of Mira and cheques-don't you want to make trouble, do you want to make trouble while I'm not here? Okay-I also took your lair. The one who has been serving as your business transfer station has now fallen to the trading town of the regular army and burned. What else do you plan to do?

Anxiety about the instability, fear of danger, anger at the attitude of the eldest son, surprise at the defection of the trading town, plus this kind of heart-wrenching thing like a fire behind him-there is not much to the Duke of El Barrea I thought, I signed the military order.

Now, even the old butler, who has been obedient to himself, has trouble with himself?

"If you let you go, you can go," El Barrea said coldly, "Don't ask so much.

"But, is it too impatient to let the mecha soldiers raided Kyle Dick during the night and razed it to the ground? Even if the people there fall to the regular army,..."

"What's the matter? They are citizens of Kruchen State, but now they have become traitors. They have to sign an agreement with the regular rebels to deliver supplies. Is this reason enough?" Helmut raised his voice and said sharply , "Hurry up and deliver things! Carry out today!"

"...Yes...yes." Arnold was not afraid of the duke's anger. In fact, he had seen a lot of situations where Helmut, who was already very irritable, got angry. The reason he was really scared was that he knew what it meant-even if Keldic really betrayed the regular army, they shouldn't, and there was no reason to burn the town that was currently in his own name. Besides, unlike those stubborn local nobles, Keldyk has always been regarded as one of the places where the duke can receive the most taxes among the local powers. It really ruined this place. What are the plans for the funding of the war? solve?

"I can only ask the goddess to bless..." However, Arnold is just an old servant after all, without the vigor of his youth-a little flash in the depths of his heart, holding this command The idea of ​​going to the city to find Master Euses first disappeared after only a moment.

The old butler stumbled into the lower-level command room of the Orolos Fortress.

Ten minutes later, dozens of heavily armed mechas filed out from the warehouse where the Orlocos Fortress was originally used to store the guided chariots, taking advantage of the cover of the night, and galloping in the direction of Keldic. go with.

___________

It’s illogical that the Duke vented his anger towards the trading town for almost no reason in the original work. It was modified to be caused by multiple factors. Tempered and arrogant people were angered for a while, plus a real threat— —If you don’t fight now, then the trading town will be protected by the regular army’s defenses, and there will be no way to start, so from a strategic point of view, it can barely make sense.

Tucao again, the original is too stupid here. . .
