Chapter Seventy-Six: Rage
"That...... Your Excellency, no matter what you say, this is too ......," the old butler Arnold lamented - his own master was always talked about by people outside, and he was not unaware. But when such an order, which now seemed extremely absurd, came down, he also felt extremely unreasonable, so he even ignored the unconditional respect he usually had for him, and said, "Just for this reason......"
What caused the duke's anger to erupt was something sent by a certain chasseur commander in the afternoon.
Originally, His Excellency the Duke was very angry because the battle line was pushed back by the Fourth Mecha Division, plus the inaction of Lufas. And when he got the sample in the commander's hand, he was even more angry.
Just after they withdrew from the line of the Ssangyong Bridge, the soldiers of "Nidhogg", who were ordered to disguise themselves and investigate the situation, were surprised to see such a scene - the merchants of the trading town of Keldik seemed to be discussing something with the regular army officer. The enthusiastic expressions on their faces were completely different from when their soldiers were collecting taxes there.
Of course, in the eyes of the Duke of Elbaria, these merchants are just dispensable people, and their only purpose is to pay money and contribute to their great cause—as for the tax rate, do you bastard merchants have a say?
As a result, the Duke of El Barea was annoyed by the very different attitudes of these merchants towards the regular army and the aristocratic army. However, what made him even more incredible was that the soldiers of the regular army came to Keldik in the occupied area this time for the purpose of returning the part of the materials they had obtained in the process of clearing the goods that clearly belonged to the residents of Keldik, and also arranged a follow-up claim plan. This is simply unforgivable for the Duke of El Barea.
I, the ruler of Kruchen, have a relationship with these regular thieves at this very moment? And after seeing the attitude of the other party, not only did he not know how to show hostility, but he even wanted to make an agreement with the regular army in this way, and completely fall to their side?
What the? Will the regular army's line advance in the next few days, taking a piece of territory, including Keldick, and the plotters continuing their march towards the fortress of Oroloth? Seeing that the reports of the hunters clearly wrote such news, it made the Duke of Elbarea feel like hearing thunder on a sunny day.
It's so hateful...... Helmut's old fingers, clasped tightly into the flesh, almost oozing blood—these damn guys......
Otto's old thing, has been holding me back since a few years ago. Now that the war is going on, not only did he continue to intercede for the so-called lords, but he also announced that he would take the entire town to join the regular army?
This incident caused Duke Elbaria, who has always regarded himself very highly, to be deeply hurt by his self-esteem. And his eldest son, who was originally very trusted, is now also indifferent to his anger, and it seems that he has no intention of continuing to help, only knowing to continue to shirk; One of the two helpers he found was dressed strangely, and all he knew was to sit on the sofa and doze off all day, and the other was a completely milky little girl, what was the use of them? In addition to taking up half of the rations for two more?
What made him even more angry was that just earlier today, there were some small problems in the city of Balyahat - the guy in Amancia didn't take care of the bastard nobles under his command, they actually questioned themselves just because of a loss in the fur business, and even let people lobby in the city for all kinds of things?
Had it not been for Jusis's clever tactics to suppress the riot in time—Duke Elbariana could not have imagined what would have happened. Originally, the nobles didn't care much about the war, so not many people knew about the fact that they had not made any substantial progress. But if this matter breaks out now with this opportunity, what impact will it have on his prestige?
You pigs who only know how to do the fur business, counting Mira and checks—aren't you trying to make trouble and get rid of me while I'm away? Okay - I've also taken your lair, the one that has been your business staging point, and now it has fallen to the regular army's trading town and burned it down, see what you are going to do?
The anxiety of the precarious situation, the fear of danger, the anger at the attitude of the eldest son, the surprise at the reversal of the trading town, and the heartwarming thing like this fire behind him—the Duke of Elbarrea signed the military order without much thought.
Now, even the old housekeeper who has always been obedient to himself has to get along with himself?
"If you want to go, you will go." El Barea said coldly, "Don't ask so much.
"However, isn't it too impatient to let the mechs attack Keldik directly at night today, and raze it to the ground? Even if the people there fall to the regular army, it will ......"
"What? Isn't it enough that they are the people of Kruchen who have become traitors to sign an agreement with the regular army rebels to deliver ,——supplies? Helmut raised his voice and snapped, "Hurry up and get the stuff there!" Execute it today! ”
“…… Be...... Yes, sir. Arnold wasn't afraid of the duke's wrath. In fact, he had seen a lot of angry scenes of Helmut, who was already very irritable. The reason he was really scared was that he knew what that meant - even if Keldik did betray the regular army, they shouldn't and didn't have a reason to burn down the towns that were still nominally their domain. Besides, unlike those stubborn local nobles, Keldik has always been one of the places where the duke can receive the most taxes among the local powers, and if it really ruins this place, how will the problem of funding for the war be solved in the future?
"I can only ask the goddess to bless you......" However, Arnold was only a servant who was already dying, and he had lost the vitality of his youth—the idea of taking this order to go to the city to find Master Yusis first flashed in the depths of his heart, and it was only a moment later that he disappeared.
The old butler stumbled into the subordinate command room of the fortress of Orolos.
Ten minutes later, dozens of heavily armed mechs rushed out of the warehouse where the fortress of Orolos had originally used to store the guide chariots, and took advantage of the cover of night to gallop in the direction of Keldick.

Here's a magic change.,The original Duke here vented his anger at the trading town for almost no reason.,It's really illogical.,It's changed here because of multiple factors.,Grumpy and arrogant people are angry for a while.,Plus the real threat - if you don't fight now.,After that, the trading town will be protected by the defense line of the regular army.,There's no way to start.,So it's barely reasonable in a strategic sense.
Spit it out again.,The original work is too stupid here.。。。
