Vol 2 Chapter 1103: Rufas' anomaly

This matter was also mentioned by Olibat to himself not long ago. The powerful boost that "Red Wings" can bring on the battlefield and the boost they provide on morale are what Olibat has experienced during the two months of civil war. This made him feel that his previous plan for so long had not been in vain. However, he also considered that if the "Red Wing" had an accident one day in the future, what would happen after the wings were broken?
Olibate, who was prepared for a rainy day, had a slight idea about this-that is, to secretly build a second plane of the "Karejas". The performance is slightly better than that of the first machine. It’s just that Olibat’s previous actions have attracted attention in various senses. It may be impossible to find Libel to cooperate with the Intelligence Bureau and other places again. Shortly after the debut of "Red Wings", Lei Kurt and others have already found out its secret construction site-and Olibat's channels for working capital and resources are unlikely to come up with the same cost again. Therefore, he needs some strong sponsors. The nobles with a lot of wealth can undoubtedly be a good choice.
Originally, none of the four famous doors had the possibility of cooperating with Olibat. However, the situation in Cruchen State has now fallen into Juss’s control, and Heilija has now almost persuaded the Marquis of Haynes to rein in time when the civil war is about to end, to avoid falling into the abyss with Kane. , So it seems that it is not out of reach to talk about similar topics with the two of them.
Of course, the construction of the second unit is just an idea, and there is no specific plan. Therefore, Heliga only briefly talked to the Marquis of Haynes on these issues, and listened to the thoughts of this stable nobleman. After thinking about it, the Marquis of Haines thought that this plan was feasible, but if you want to hide from the sky after the war, it is probably impossible to build this spacecraft inside the empire-not only because the noble alliance had previously made it clear when it expanded its armaments. The vigilance brought about by his rebellious heart was also due to the foreseeable post-Civil War that the reformists further deepened their control over all parts of the empire. Therefore, under the premise that Libel could no longer be used, Oribat had to find another suitable construction site. This point requires him to think about it himself.
After that, Juss left and went back to Kruchin State to do official business. Before Heilijia left, he was called by the Marquis of Haynes-the latter was tangled up, as if he was thinking about whether to tell the matter.
"What's the matter? Your Lord Marquis?" Heiligar wondered, and the Marquis of Haynes's hesitation stopped, which obviously meant something important.
"It's like this... I've been thinking before, is there something wrong with the decision of the Noble Alliance in this civil war?" The Marquis of Haynes finally said, "I don't know what your thoughts are... but here I am. It seems that many times these decisions seem strange."
"For example?" Heliga also came to be interested-he was not without similar doubts. Hearing the opinions of this wise Marquis might open up some new ideas.
"There is nothing to doubt about the abandonment of Cruchen State..." the Marquis of Haynes murmured, "the problem is what to do after this. I want to ask, if you were the Duke of Kane, what would you do?"
"As we all know now, Kane’s slogan of restoring the tradition is to subvert the rule of the royal family." Heliga thought for a while and said, "Then under this premise, the victory lies in Before the hand, it is impossible to tear the face of the royal family. Then it is a reasonable decision to divide the border with Kruchin State. But after that, the noble alliance has two options."
"Please say."
"The first... is a safer method. While neglecting Kruchen State, strengthen the protection of Nautia and Sacharant States, and at the same time try to suppress the regular army in other regions, and strive to win more In the case of a further advantage-find an opportunity to announce this." Heilijia thought for a while, "but this method is too decent, I am afraid that Duke Kane will not do it. The other kind is based in Kruchen State. As a decoy, the regular army that could not come out in the strong fortress was dispersed, and then aggressive tactics were used to try to divide and wipe them out. Even if the regular army cannot be eliminated, their momentum will definitely be hit hard."
"Not bad." The Marquis of Haynes sighed slightly. "But in fact, the strategy adopted by the Noble Alliance is between the two. It is neither on the so-called righteous path, nor is it willing to deviate from the evil path. It is hard to imagine the Noble Alliance Army. The staff will make such a half-hearted decision..."
"I remember that the general staff of the Noble Alliance Army was Rufas El Barrea." Heilija thought for a while, "and he did not choose to return to deal with the matter after the Keldik incident, but I contacted Euses privately through the internal relations of the Duke’s house and asked him to let him go. In this case, his handling was actually to facilitate Euses and save the El Barrea’s house. Therefore, This seems to be explained by his selfishness."
"You also make sense. The noble alliance may not be allowed to further interfere with this matter, perhaps to make his brother look more comfortable in handling this matter." The Marquis of Haynes nodded, "But in this case , And acquiesced to the cooperation between Euses and the regular army... If it is inferred from the motivation of leaving room, is it a bit too much?"
"You mean..." Heliga suddenly realized what was wrong with this kind of thing. If Lufas was to facilitate his brother to deal with the matter, let the Noble Alliance put it aside. It is understandable. However, if the Duke’s family had to choose to cooperate with the regular army for this reason, it would undoubtedly turn the cart before the horse. Because in that case, the presence of the regular army in Kruchen State will be greatly strengthened. Compared with allowing the regular army to enter the city strongly, and then having to allocate some resources to internal friction with the stubborn aristocratic forces here, the current situation is on the contrary It is more advantageous to the regular army. They can get enough supplies from Juss, and they don't need to be distracted at all in matters such as follow-up matters with Kyle Dick and contact with local nobles.
In other words, this decision by Rufas essentially weakened the power of the noble alliance and strengthened the regular army-as soon as this conclusion came out, Heliga clearly felt that something was wrong. Rufas's hand is indeed very clever, and Duke Kane is still unaware that it is the best proof-but by doing this, doesn't it mean that Rufas is sending the nobles into the fire pit?
Judging from the identity and standpoint of his heir to the "Four Famous Men", it doesn't feel right.
