Chapter 1168: One body and two faces
Hearing this familiar tone, Mafarna put down the book in his hand, turned to look at the blond young man, and said with a smile: "Kah, I have to trouble you again."
The blond young man twisted his neck, walked to the desk, picked up the teacup, and drank it all in one gulp without caring whether his father had drunk it. Then he said, "Really? I told you a long time ago not to take over the 12th Corps. Even being a deputy marshal in charge of logistics in other corps would be better than this. You just didn't listen, and now there's a problem."
"I, your father, have been an assistant for half my life, and I just wanted to try my hand at being a marshal, but…"
The blond young man waved his hand, interrupting Mafarna and said bluntly: "I didn't expect these things to happen, am I right?"
“Now that it has come to this, you won’t ignore your father, will you?” Mafarna looked at his child, spread his hands, and pretended to be a rogue.
"Okay, tell me what you know now." The blond young man covered his head and said helplessly.
"it is good."
Seeing this, Mafarna stopped talking nonsense and told all the information he knew.
The blond young man leaned back against the desk, leaned back with his waist against the edge of the table, stroked his chin, and turned what his father said into nodes, connecting them together and analyzing them.
Seeing his child thinking, Mafarna did not interrupt him. He came to the side, brewed a pot of tea, took out two teacups, and poured two cups.
Ten minutes later, the blond young man stopped thinking, turned to look at Mafarna, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and slowly said: "Father, there are two ways to break the deadlock now, which one do you want to hear first?"
"The one who won't embarrass me too much." Hearing these familiar words, Mafarna answered subconsciously.
Seeing this, the blond young man smiled and said, "Then tell me your embarrassing way to break the impasse first."
Looking at this boy, Mafarna looked helpless, but he did not say anything to stop him.
"According to your one-sided account, this Knight of the Eternal Light has good moral character, but he likes to collect "worthless" military supplies in the form of "battle damage"."
"So, when you negotiate with the other party, you can meet and talk face to face, show your tough side, and create an image of neither servility nor overbearing, which is also the image you have always maintained."
"If we meet privately, we can compromise with the other party and help them with their 'battle damage' military supplies."
Hearing this, Mafarna couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth and said in astonishment: "You mean to let me be a rat."
"That's right." The blond young man nodded and said without hesitation, "If you want to save your sister's only daughter, this is the only way."
"You little brat, that's your cousin, don't you even address her formally?"
"She's just a vase, a woman with big breasts and no brains, who likes to show off and act on her own emotions. If you hadn't covered her up, she would have been called the flower of the army." The blond young man crossed his arms, looked disdainful, and said, "I don't think such a woman is my cousin."
"Okay." Mafarna waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now and get back to the topic."
Seeing this, the blond young man continued to explain, "The commander of the 25th Legion, Kyle, is the confidant of the Knight of Everlasting Dawn. Once you gain the Knight of Everlasting Dawn's trust, he will take the initiative to cover up this matter for you."
"After all, he probably already knows about your relationship with Monlisa."
"After that, you will be a loyal lackey of the Eternal Dawn Knight. During the war, any benefits you get will definitely be yours."
"Ugh--"
"My old face!"
Mafarna sighed and couldn't help but sigh.
Although the other party is half a level higher than you, their positions are the same. If you work like a dog for him, how can you hold your head up when you return home?
"The second way to break the impasse is to not go to the Ninth Legion, but go directly to the Allied Forces Headquarters to find Commander Silas Alcaeus Raycroft and accuse him of his crimes." The blond man glanced at his father who was sighing, ignored him, and continued, "For the sake of the overall situation, the other party will appropriately reprimand the Ninth Legion, but there will be no substantial punishment."
"In order to maintain the morale of the 12th Corps, your sister's only daughter will be spared. At most, she will be dismissed from her post, but there won't be any severe punishment."
"Of course, by doing this, you will offend the Eternal Dawn Knight."
"I don't know what will happen next. After all, although the Knight of Everlasting Joy has good character, that is only a rumor."
"Forehead--"
After hearing this second method, Mafarna decided to follow his true inner thoughts.
"My old face!"
……
On the morning of June 9773, 6 Glorious Calendar, in the Kisilin Camp, in the Ninth Corps Headquarters, Weilin looked at the battle reports sent by the four armies, a smile appeared on his face, and he leaned back on the wooden chair, muttering to himself: "The encirclement plan is complete, and the next step is to deal with the Deheya orc troops scattered in the Lude Province."
"However, now that the encirclement campaign is over, the 12th Corps Marshal should..."
Before he could finish his words, a guard entered the tent, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Marshal, Lord Leonus wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Weilin sat up straight and said, "Please ask him to come in."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the guard bowed his head and replied, then stood up and left.
Outside the tent, after getting permission, Leonas walked straight towards the tent.
Seeing Leonas, Weilin said, "Paladin Leonas, please take a seat."
Seeing this, Lionas nodded slightly, saluted Weilin, and then sat down aside.
"You came to see me because something happened in the Corps again?" Weilin asked after the other party sat down.
Hearing this, Lionas looked up at Weilin and said, "Sir Knight Yongxi, you have to pay your debt."
"Pay off the debt?"
Weilin muttered this unfamiliar word silently, then reacted and asked, "When will Mafarna arrive?"
"According to the information sent by my good friend in the 12th Corps, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be three days later."
"The timing is really good!"
After hearing what Lionas said, Weilin sighed and asked, "Do you think if I take the initiative to go to Priestley City to look for Mafarna, will it seem that I am sincere in making friends with him?"
"Sir Knight Yongxi, I personally advise you not to do this." Lionas looked at Weilin and answered.
"Why?" Weilin asked in confusion.
"Because you are the marshal of the Ninth Legion." Leonus saw this and answered, "You and the Marshal of the Twelfth Legion, Mafarna, are both marshals of the same corps, but according to the division of responsibilities, you are half a level higher than him."
"In addition, all the soldiers of the Ninth Corps are from the Holy Third Kingdom of Dawn. They are the direct descendants of the coalition forces and have their own pride. This means that they will not allow you to voluntarily bow down to the miscellaneous corps."
"Then I'll just wait here for him to come."
After hearing this, Weilin gave up the idea of taking the initiative to go to the 12th Corps.
Although what Lionel said was cruel, it was true.
