Iron Blood Earl Riccianne

Chapter 8. Jackson Canyon (3)

But Lycaen shakes his head. Caith looks nervously at the appearance of Ricaien.

“Hey, are you going to keep coming out like this? I heard it's me...... ”

“No, it's not that. I'm treating you, but I've got other things on my mind. ”

“What?”

Lycaen smiles coldly.

“Would you like to hear it? ”

Boom!

“Are you sure you want to humiliate me? ”

Earl Holtz was the one who blubbered and slapped the table violently. And standing facelessly in front of Earl Holtz, he was the leader of the Frost Knights Anton.

“I'm not trying to humiliate you, I'm trying to do everything I can as a servant. ”

“Huh! What are you gonna do when you find someone who's already dead? ”

At that moment, a cold life gushed from Anton's body.

Chaen!

As life spurts out, five escort knights from Earl Holtz simultaneously draw out Longsword and aim for Anton.

But that wasn't the kind of Anton that would die. Rather, I took a deep breath and shouted out loud.

“My lord is still alive! ”

“You bastard! Who are you trying to antagonize?! And it's been five days since I fell off the grid and you think you're still alive. You're out of your mind! ”

It was about Lycaen.

It's been five days since I left Jackson Canyon. Anton, who was put in charge of Earl Procus' army in the absence of Lycaen, went on a search the next day to rescue Lycaen. But since the third day, we have been unable to move our troops on the orders of Earl Holtz. After five days, Anton came back for Earl Holtz.

“The Scouts report that the Royal Luo Army is still searching mountains near Jackson Canyon. That means our Lord made it out of Jackson Canyon in one piece. Otherwise, there's no way the Luo Imperial Army would be searching that area. ”

“Shut up! Moving troops before my permission is treason. If anything like that happens, you and your entire army will be put to death! ”

“I'm not here for permission, I'm here to tell you. I've already received your permission from Commander Robyn. ”

“What? Now you want to disobey even the chain of command? ”

Technically, the British Army is organized into the Royal Army in the event of a war. Earl Frost's forces are now under the orders of the Confederate commander, Earl Holtz.

Earl Robain had total command of the battle in the Acronian Mountains, but Earl Prokers was in the Confederate Army after all.

And Earl Holtz was also partially right. It was the proper command line for the British Army to go through their line of command to tell the Commander-in-Chief something.

On the one hand, if the permission of the late lord Robyn, the general commander, were to follow his will, it would also be the duty of the late Earl of Holtz. The problem was that Earl Holtz was considerably underestimating the Marquis of Robyn.

You hear the guard's voice outside the entrance to the tent.

“Earl Gronst's Prince Shylon Gronst would like to see you. ”

Earl Holtz frowns without my knowledge. Anton is the leader of the Knights, so you shout at him. But he was the brother of Earl Gronst, after all. Moreover, he was the next Earl Gronst, as long as it was clear that the fallen Earl Gronst had died. It can't be taken lightly.

“Come in. ”

The curtain of the entrance bends terribly at the end of the horse, and a boy with an atlantic face comes inside with his body on a wheelchair.

“Welcome. So, what's going on? ”

In the words of Earl Holtz, Shylon speaks calmly, pointing to Anton in front of him.

“It's the same business as Captain Anton, isn't it? ”

“Hmm……. I'm telling you, we can't put our entire army at risk just because of a few. A few days ago, you attempted an assault on the eastern outskirts of Earl Frost. ”

“You can barely shoot a bow and call it an ambush. And you didn't ask me to move your entire army? Just give me permission to set Earl Gronst and Earl Frost free. ”

“It's not that I don't know your heart, but I can't give that kind of privilege to some. Don't you know that once a precedent is made, it's only natural later? ”

“Do you think there will be more after the Lord gives time to save his army? ”

Of course, it won't happen again. It was possible because of the two of them that Lycaen and Caith stayed behind and made time for their troops to leave. To be precise, Lycaen stepped in first.

And to put it more calmly, Riccianne was left because she knew how much money and time it would take to train an elite group like Earl Procurus. It was because he decided that if he remained, he could get out as well as buy enough time.

“Perhaps there's very little chance of that happening again. But we don't know when or where the work of Humans will go. In fact, no one had any idea that Earl Frost and Earl Gronst were going to stay there and do the leisure work this time? ”

It was possible because it was Riccianne. But he didn't lose a word.

“Of course, no one knows what's going to happen to the world where people live. But going forward will have a huge impact on fraud. ”

“Hmm?"

“Think about it. Not just any soldier, no knight, but no lord. But if you do not allow us to rescue the lord, who will lead the battle? ”

The loss of a lord or commander could have been incurred by anyone. But if you think no one will come looking for you, who will greet you bravely?

Of course, I'm not going to fall for something as foolish as Lycaen, who goes out on his own to greet his own enemies.

“So why don't you give us two days? But we haven't found them, and we haven't heard from them yet. If this is the case, shouldn't we think of him as dead? ”

“One of them is a master who has been maimed without blades, and the other is a master. Do you think they died that easily? ”

Earl Holtz looks slightly surprised. According to Shylon's tone, the other master was meant for Caith.

He was familiar with the incident that prevented Riccianne from using the right hand of Master Gregor in the duel. But it was the first I heard today that Caith was at the master's level. But that didn't change the way we thought they would die.

“Don't forget that even masters are people. ”

Warden Holtz never breaks his mind to the end. Unless there was a very special reason, it was clear that Earl Frost and Earl Gronst would not tolerate leaving to find their lord.

But what Earl Holtz really wanted was something else. It was an army of Lycaen and Caith.

He has spent most of his life unconcerned, but he has never seen such a strong force. The Confederate forces of the Marquis of Robyn were also strong, but they felt more experienced soldiers than trained elites. It was the first time a unit like this had ever been on a mission as close to perfection as any command could be given.

The death of Lycaen and Caith does not mean that the two Territories are entirely under their control, but at least for as long as the war continues. Soldiers who will emphasize themselves enough in this war to raise the ball to a higher ground if they can make good use of it.

So we can't give up on them.

Of course, that was not the purpose of leaving them in Jackson Canyon in the first place. It was to isolate the forces of Lycaen and Caith that they disliked, inflicting great losses or, if they were lucky, to bring them to their deaths. Then suddenly I got an elite army like this. That's why we can't give up.

Then someone else opened the tent curtain again. And the face of Earl Holtz is severely distorted.

“The Marquis of Robyn? ”

It was the late Robyn, general commander of the Southern War.

“I heard noisy noises as I was passing by, but I wanted to talk to you for a while, since they're here... Do you have a moment?" ”

Of course you're lying. Either Anton or Shylon would have asked you to come.

Earl Holtz frowns and shakes his hand dry as if annoying.

“Those two are my business. It is not a matter for the Commander in Chief to be involved. So I'm sorry to ask for your time, but I must decline. ”

Even the attitude of the Earl of Holtz, who ignored it in front of his face, laughed as if he didn't care much.

“It's your call, but I'm the General, and I'm in command." If Lord Holts can't spare you some time, I'll keep it simple. I want them both searched and rescued by Earl Frost and Earl Gronst. This is an order from my Lord Commander, Marquis Robyn. ”

The Lord Holtz sighs briefly as he looks at the Lobein Marquis, who speaks decisively. Then speak in a more upbeat voice.

“I can't follow that order, Commander. Stealing power to save a few lives in the face of an enemy is impossible! What if they fall and your friends get pushed? ”

It is true that they are facing the Luo Empire army, but it was only the first day of the opening battle that they had fought properly. Due to the constant quarrel of Earl Holtz, the Bren Empire army has never undertaken a proper operation, and has remained at a minimum for much less combat.
