The Branded Female Fencer
Missing Talent, Part 97 - Strategist 42
"How are you feeling, General Pfeiffer?"
"... that's not good"
Pfeiffer, who was in the room, answers in a dark voice. There were dark bears all around his eyes, and he looked like someone else from yesterday when we met at Fort Galps. Because of this, I don't even look 10 years old or old in a short period of time.
He was Pfeiffer exposing himself to pain, but Alphilis wasn't going to loosen his hands on the question.
"I'm sorry for your tiredness, but I'd love to get some answers."
"I never speak to mercenary flair. When more than that can you get me out of here? Now I'm going to leave you alone."
"Son of a bitch, you're still talking like that."
Rosetta makes me look awesome, but I just didn't poke her. Rosetta is also obsessed. We know exactly what the civilians will do after they raise their hands to nobility and royalty.
As Alphilis controlled Rosetta with her eyes, she continued her conversation calmly.
"You don't have to talk about anything else, because then I'll ask Larna to read my memories. However, it seems that the magic of reading memories is very difficult, so it is very likely that you will be abandoned afterwards."
"Do you imitate that to me, the royal family of clients? There's gonna be a bounty on us internationally, right?
"This is a conflagration, and you should have died in vain."
"I don't know anything. Are you willing to kill my squire, too? The people who stood with me earlier are mostly downworkers. Let them not be guilty."
"Even my people weren't guilty. But he died because of you."
Alphilis dared respond to Pfeiffer with a quiet voice. Because I thought it would convey my anger better. In fact, Alphilis was quite angry. There are also many who died because Pfeiffer had a dodgy command and even hidden frying sentences. Depending on his response, Alphilis was not willing to treat Pfeiffer like a human.
"And the men of the fort died a great many. If you refuse to cooperate, we will apply to the Alliance and go to the proper means. If so, what can be assumed is that you will be punished by the client or that the entire client will lose credibility internationally. Even though the client's foreign policy has been too tariff lately, it should have a bad reputation. It should be pretty bad for you, the royalty, to make a big mistake in this situation, even if it's a rumor."
"Hmm... woman, I was insulting you with a woman, but apparently it has just enough heads to cut you back like that on this occasion. Shall I reassess it somewhat?"
"You don't have to change anything. Answer my question."
"Depends on the content."
Pfeiffer was in close proximity to his captivity, yet did not break his attitude of strength. When Rhine and Lunatica opened Pfeiffer's standing room and told them that the crisis had left, Pfeiffer's facial expression barely changed.
Alphilis once again assumed Pfeiffer was not the only one. It's easy to handle if you're just a magnificent man, but he was like a man with a liver in his true sense.
"Then I'll ask you a question. What were you doing in quarantine?
"I can't answer that."
"Who's in the deal?
I can't answer that either.
"Is the emergence of that giant your fault?
"I can't answer as well. Woman, your eyes are inside, but there's no evidence. Then you can't tell me anything. Isn't the stuffing sweet?
"Damn!
Rosetta kicked the chair. Pfeiffer looking at the act with cold eyes. The line embarrassed Rosetta, and Alphilis continued to ask questions.
"Then let's change the direction of the question. Were you willing to win this fight?
"Of course."
"Do you care about your client's country?
"Naturally. To lean land, a country with scarce resources. But this is the country where I was born and raised. There's no way I don't love you."
"What did you think of Weasel?
"Honestly, you're jealous. I wish I could get at least half the crops in that country. At the beginning of the nation, the national power should have been higher here, but the difference in that power just opens up year after year after year after being overtaken. Concentrating on internal affairs in the same way makes an overwhelming difference in a year. Not far as this is going, our country will be virtually crushed, by Veisel's diplomacy.
Nobody notices that, though. No, even if you're aware of it, is there someone you just need to move into action? All the chief ministers in the Wang Capital are old and short old men. We want to prioritize our immediate interests over our policies 10 or 20 years from now. "
"I see."
Alphilis nodded. Pfeiffer is a magnificent man, but I don't even think Alphilis' intuition makes him crazy. Instead, Alphilis watched as if he was a pretty good politician, except for his grandeur and propriety.
Because the soldiers at Fort Galps were truly brilliantly dominated. That can't be made unless the commander is good. The quality of the army showed Pfeiffer's ability as commander as it was.
But that's why Alphilis is so strange. Why did Pfeiffer take such a damaging operation on soldiers in his own country? But Pfeiffer was harder than I imagined, and Alphilis had to choose carefully what to ask.
In that fold, the voice I just heard outside the room belonged to Cowen.
