"Well, Marquis Balder said that. Should I say he feels good about himself? Or is he blinded by the comfortable environment and unable to see the form clearly? He is really a simple man who is easy to understand."
Alleria's voice came from Arcus's receiver.
The time is 19:00 on June 17th of Qiyao Calendar, after dinner.
Rean and the new Class VII successfully completed the day's mission and returned to the camp.
The students gathered together as usual to compile drill reports.
Li En returned to the room first to make final preparations for tomorrow.
It was at this time that Alleria's contact came.
This wise and brave "Golden Rakshasa" obviously grasped Rean's thoughts.
Coincidentally, Li En was also looking for her, and her location would be the real focus tomorrow.
"What is the condition of the maritime fortress?"
"Everything is normal. The special operations team has set off to the vicinity of Larkwell. The leader of the team is my former adjutant, who is trustworthy."
"Only one brigade?" Rean was slightly dissatisfied.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if the local army is downsized and reorganized, it will not have only this mobile force.
"One brigade is the limit. Although Balder feels good about himself, he is not a fool. There are his people in the local army, and if there is too much movement, it will also cause a backlash from the imperial government and the regular army. The current situation in Lamar State is this
The government is deliberately conniving, do you think they will let us put out the 'fire of struggle'?"
Hearing Alleria's words, Rean was speechless for a moment.
Although he has tried his best to think and arrange, he must admit that in unfamiliar fields such as military and politics, even with the blessing of the realm of "reason", he cannot compare with the real masters.
Fortunately, I didn't make the same choice as that person. If one person's wisdom is not enough, he relies on the wisdom of everyone to make up for it.
"Just one brigade is not enough to cope with the situation on the other side of the canyon road. The Red Constellation, the Purple Hunters, the White Divine Machine, and most importantly, the opponent's general is the 'Saint of the Gun'."
"Indeed, this force is enough to attack Haidu. 250 years ago, the emperor and the saint did such a thing."
Unlike Rean's solemnity, Alleria's words were relaxed from beginning to end.
"Do you have any good strategies?"
"No."
"..."
The overly decisive answer made Li En slightly stunned.
No, how can you be so calm without a strategy?
"If you really think about it, you can still come up with something, but Rean, for this exercise, my stage has come to an end, and next is your stage."
"This..." There is no conflict. Rean wanted to say this, but Alleria interrupted him first.
"Don't rush to answer, think carefully about what I said. Rean, you need such a stage. Although I don't know your past, but if you want to fight against that person, it's not enough to rely on you now. Ashes
Knight? Hero? You know best how much exaggeration there is in it.
You have indeed experienced a lot of battles, but you lack a victory that can silence everyone, and no one is more suitable than the legendary saint."
"What about you, general?" Rean asked, even using his former military position as a title for the first time in a long time. "After defeating that saint as a warrior, don't you want to defeat her as a general again?"
"Of course I do." Alleria answered without any hesitation, "However, the pure battlefield victory that I long for involves too many things this time. More importantly, an army does not need two generals.
Even the 'Saint of the Spear' only exists as a deputy in the battle commanded by the Emperor. Rean, you will be the leader tomorrow. Everyone, including me, is at your disposal. In return, you must
Take on the responsibility of being a general.
I know this responsibility is heavy, but you and I also know that you can bear it. Don’t you have any desire in your heart? To surpass the legend, to surpass the strongest! Rean, don’t always think about others. No matter what the reason is
Whitewashing, practicing swordsmanship and martial arts are all for yourself, so go ahead and swing the sword for yourself!"
"!" Rean's pupils suddenly shrank.
The reason why I picked up the sword in the first place was to control the "ghost power" in my body.
Nowadays, the origin of "ghost power" has been explained, and it can also be effectively controlled.
Therefore, Rean has always believed that he cannot live up to this power and must fight to protect others.
But, is that really the case?
Do you really have no selfish intentions at all?
If not, why would you be excited about the improvement of your strength and the mastery of new moves?
Why do you feel so happy after becoming a sword master?
Yes, there is a desire in my heart to become stronger, not just to control ghost energy, not just to protect others. These are indeed my motivations, but not entirely.
Alleria is right, only if you want to become stronger, you will pick up the sword and work hard to become stronger.
This is not only true for practicing swordsmanship, but also for everything a person decides to do, from the small to the immediate, to the grand and ambitious goals.
It's because "I" don't want to see the deaths caused by war, so I want to reverse the future.
I don’t want to.
"I seem to be putting the cart before the horse a little bit." Li En's mind cleared.
Reinhardt has always emphasized the importance of obsession. He has always been thinking about the obsession itself, but he has ignored the origin of the obsession, the self.
"It's not too late to realize now." Alleria, who was opposite the guided wave, chuckled, "Then, your answer is -"
Rean took a deep breath, and his voice changed from his usual gentle and humble voice to a cold and tough voice: "I will assume the responsibility of the general. Branch principal, I need as many people as possible to stay in the fortress and not go anywhere.
"
"This is about giving orders. It's a big problem from the beginning. I don't have a military position now."
"But the maritime fortress is your former residence, and many of the local army members are your old subordinates. I don't believe you can't do it."
Alleria smiled even more cheerfully: "You can have a tougher tone. Don't say you can't do it, but it's already very good for a new general. I obey, General Shu Huaze, let's give the Holy Lady some color.
.”
"Of course." Li En nodded happily and unconsciously rubbed the handle of the sword with his palm, "Aren't you always curious about my sword? You can see it tomorrow."
Although she was separated by the guided wave, Alleria could still feel the momentum coming towards her face, and her body tightened involuntarily: "This is really - hahahaha, hahahaha, that's right, just go ahead and do it, I
I look forward to you killing the saint with one sword."
"Well, this is indeed too exaggerated." Sister, you think I am a god.
"Those two swords...?"
"Branch principal, you seem to have forgotten how many swords you have used."
"I really forgot, I don't have time to count. Wait, why am I asking you to draw the sword, but you are unwilling to do so. With that saintess as your opponent, you take the initiative to draw the sword. I need an explanation."
