The Empire's army slowly moved towards the northern region where the foreign races lived. Since Jiang Yuye was arranged to be in Brand's team, the two of them naturally had more topics to chat about as they traveled.
During this period of time, Jiang Yuye had asked him questions about the Emperor's relic, and Brand had answered them in detail. In order to show how powerful the Emperor's relic was, he had even personally demonstrated the power of the evil ghost.
Oh.
To put it in another way, if a person with an imperial relic fought someone who did not have an imperial relic, the former would definitely have the advantage.
Of course, if the difference in combat strength between the two sides was too great, then those who did not have an Emperor's relic could also defeat those who had an Emperor's relic. However, such examples were rare.
Amongst them…
In this anime world where Crimson Pupil was killed, the only representative was the youngest female general in the empire, Aiders.
After understanding the importance of an Emperor's relic, Jiang Yuye first thought of where to get one.
One had to know that an Imperial relic was not a cabbage on the street. It was not a rare item that one could have just because they wanted it. Not only was it a matter of compatibility, but more importantly, even in this rotten Empire, it was impossible for everyone to have one.
For example, in Jiang Yuye's army, the leader, General Leva, did not have a suitable Emperor relic to use. On the contrary, Brand, who was just a subordinate, had a rare and top-notch Emperor relic like the Ghost Entanglement. It had to be said that fate was really playing tricks on people sometimes.
However, the only thing worth celebrating was that although General Leva was ambitious, he was not jealous of talents. It could be said that he was more than most people in this aspect.
"Stop advancing!"
The army had been rushing for nearly a day. When it was close to evening, General Leva, who was leading the army, finally gave the order to stop advancing.
Such a move was undoubtedly welcomed by the vast majority of people. After all, other than Jiang Yuye, who was lucky enough to ride on the same horse as Brand, the rest of the soldiers and soldiers who did not have a mount could only jog forward. The moment General Leva gave the order, everyone felt as if they had been pardoned. Everyone in the army stopped moving, and most of them began to set up camp and collect wood to make fire.
War was about stability, accuracy, and hatred, followed by speed, stealth, and surprise. Therefore, in order to reduce unnecessary incidents, General Leva never allowed anyone to bring useless things.
For example, firewood for making fire, large meat that had not been cut, and so on.
After picking up the firewood, a small bonfire was lit up. Jiang Yuye, Brand, and General Liwa gathered together and looked at the reflection in the fire.
"Brand…"
Sitting alone in a relatively spacious seat, General Leva's calm face revealed a hint of worry.""What do you think about this operation?”
The question was asked without hesitation. It was obvious that General Leva truly regarded Brand as a trusted general. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked such a sensitive question in front of Jiang Yuye.
However, Brand himself did not have much awareness of this. At this moment, he rubbed his chin and thought for a moment before saying,"It might be an order from the higher-ups. General Leva, don't think too much about it.”
"That's true. Maybe I'm thinking too much.”General Leva still had reservations about Brand's optimistic attitude, but the worry on his face grew stronger.
Compared to a battle genius like Brand, who believed in justice and power, talking to him about political matters was like playing the lute to a cow. Although he was not ignorant of these things, he was still unwilling to think on that level out of his optimistic attitude towards the Empire.
But…
General Leva and Jiang Yuye didn't think so at all. After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yuye said weakly,""Speaking of which, General Leva, can I express my opinion?”
"Of course you can." General Leva looked at Jiang Yuye and nodded.
“……”
Oh.
There shouldn't be any problem with that, right?
After all, Leva wasn't like the corrupted generals of the Empire. With such thoughts in her mind, Jiang Yuye decided to make up her mind and said firmly," General Liwa, to be honest with you, I think this march may be a fatal blow to the troops.”
Jiang Yuye's delicate face suddenly turned serious as she continued,""General Leva, you should have noticed it, right?”
"Since the one who attacked the northern alien race this time was Lord Aiders, who claimed to be invincible in every battle, then why were we inexplicably transferred here?”
"So…"
As he spoke, Jiang Yuye gestured with two fingers,""There are only two possibilities. The first is that General Leva refused to bribe the ministers and became a thorn in the eyes of these corrupt officials.”
"As for the second option…"
"It's possible that we're being used as cannon fodder. However, between the two options, I personally prefer the first option.”
After saying that.
In order not to arouse General Leva's suspicion, Jiang Yuye did not forget to use Brand as a shield.
At first, Labrand was a little confused when Jiang Yuye pulled him. However, when he thought about what Jiang Yuye said carefully, his eyes widened unconsciously.
"If we think according to this speculation, then our march this time is indeed an open scheme.”Brand didn't express his opinion too much and only spoke the truth.
At such a critical juncture, he did not blatantly speak up for Jiang Yuye, nor did he deliberately emphasize that it was just speculation. It could be said that he was completely standing on a neutral point of view, and then he kicked the ball back to General Leva to think about it.
He had no choice.
Although he was second only to General Leva, Brand knew what was more important. Overstepping his authority in the army would always make his superiors suspicious, even if his superiors had no thoughts about it.
