733.Return to Black Flame Pass (page 1/2)
Colonel Fraser felt that something was wrong when he discovered that Ron and Robinson were missing. He even borrowed a portal that only foreigners would use on a large scale and rushed back to Scarlet Castle, trying to return to the pioneer fortress to stop Ron from doing stupid things..
But when he was preparing to set off in Scarlet Castle, he received news from the Pioneer Fortress..
After all, I was a step too late.
The war heroes of Black Flame Pass, Major Ron Rorma Soros and Captain George 'Ironhand' Robinson, were dismissed from all military commissions for attempting to start a rebellion and are currently being held in cells at the Fortress awaiting military action. During the further trial in the court, Marshal Loren personally ordered Colonel Fraser to immediately return to the front line of Shadow Valley to supervise the battle..
This makes it clear that Fraser is not allowed to be involved in this matter..
To be honest, when he received this news, Fraser really had the urge to go back and develop the fortress now, but he is a rational person after all..
With the Marshal's temper, not killing these two bastards on the spot shows that there is still a chance to save the matter. General Soros, as Marshal Loren's comrade for many years, will not sit back and watch his son become a prisoner with an unclear identity. Therefore, The outcome of this incident will most likely be that Ron and Iron Hand are kicked out by the Pioneer Legion..
This is another sense in which the merits and demerits are offset..
Frasier had mixed feelings.
He was roaming alone in the Scarlet Castle, which was no longer lively due to the wartime system. He wanted to find a place to get drunk or something so that he would not have to pay attention to these troublesome things for the time being..
However, he walked to the administrative area of Scarlet Castle. After hesitating for a moment, he submitted a request to visit the Scarlet Archon to the guard in a formal capacity, and he quickly received the approval..
It's not that Archon Miriam put aside her official duties for personal reasons, but that now that Transia has a large number of civil servants filling various positions in government departments, her daily work is not as busy as before, and she can still take time out from meetings to make decisions. Spend some time chatting with important people from a foreign country.
The Capetian family, which is still providing some support for the war, is after all an important collaborator of Transia in the Plantagenet Kingdom. Colonel Fraser obviously has a special status..
But when she saw Colonel Fraser's languid expression with her own eyes, Miriam knew that this guy was in trouble..
In the Archon's office, she poured a cup of tea for her senior and listened to Fraser's story. After hearing what happened to Major Ron, the Scarlet Archon shook her head, she said：
“You were just too anxious and didn't discover Major Ron's strategy. Doesn't a smart guy like him know the outcome of his trip?？
He knew better than anyone else that he was just using this fierce method to set up the short-handed marshal at this delicate moment. His purpose was also very clear, which was to single-handedly bring this matter to the forefront that might have been temporarily hidden. on, forcing Marshal Loren to deal with it immediately.
He cleverly took advantage of Plantagenet's domestic publicity needs and grasped the worst outcome..
This matter is currently causing turmoil within the pioneering army. If it is not handled properly, the short-term marshal will not say that he will lose military morale overnight, and at least his prestige will be hit for sure..
For a soldier who values honor, this stain will remain with him for the rest of his life..
Although in my opinion, Marshal Loren brought it upon himself and deserved to suffer, I have to say that I really underestimated that Major Ron..
Not only is he shrewd, but he is also really willing to risk everything at critical moments..
In comparison, you seem a bit indecisive..”
“I”
The colonel wanted to refute, but faced with Miriam's explanation, he was speechless for a moment. In the end, he could only hold the tea cup and sigh.：
“It's like I'm meeting Ron for the first time. The fierce side of his character is actually shown in this way. If it were me, I would really have trouble making up my mind..”
“It doesn’t have to be like this. You are the eldest son and he is the second son of the family. The responsibilities you bear are completely different from his destined life. Naturally, you cannot compare them together..”
Miriam is really much more mature than before.
While comforting Frazier, she said：
“I guess the reason why Major Ron dared to be so direct was that he was sure that his departure would not affect the operation of the Pioneer Battalion. In other words, he believed that the mess he caused could be properly handled by you. This is also another sense. entrusted.
Don't let your brother down and be careful in the next battle. Once you encounter danger or fall into a worse situation, your father will definitely cause terrible waves..
In today's situation, this is an unnecessary disturbance.
Do you need me to arrange for a psionicist to send you back to the front line? Still have to rest in the city for one night？”
“I will leave in a moment. We have just obtained a position in Shadow Valley. The morale of the soldiers also needs to be maintained. We also need to hand over to the commander who will be sent to open up the fortress. There are many things to do..”
The colonel took a sip of tea. He glanced at Miriam and noticed the ceremonial sword worn on her waist. He whispered：
“So, are you ready to step into the battlefield when necessary?？”
“When I go to the battlefield, I am also a burden to others. After all, I have never learned how to fight in a systematic way..”
Miriam smiled, brushed her long red hair that had grown back, and said in a funny manner：
“If possible, I'd better not cause trouble for the soldiers, but if the war really requires me to participate in it, then I probably won't refuse. To tell you the truth, when I step into the stage of men, I might Will change to a more deterrent form.”
“vampire？”
Fraser raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup, and said：
“Have you reached this level of determination? You know, with your current identity and status, even if things go to the worst, both countries will be willing to leave a refuge for you, right? You can choose one of the two sides and form a government-in-exile”
“Was he then used as a political bargaining chip by King Louis or the Wolf Lady?？”
Miriam shook her head and said decisively：
“No, that is not the fate that Transians would choose. It is also a blasphemy to all the efforts of me and my companions in the past. I know that I am able to sit firmly in this position not because I am really good, I am just being Destiny pushed me here, and I got help from many enthusiastic people..
I've been working hard to make myself worthy of the title of 'Scarlet Archon'.
War or death in battle are also manifestations of this effort..
Of course, if a man like you is powerful enough and can win a glorious victory on the front line, then I don’t need to leave a suicide note or anything in advance..
Well, maybe I shouldn’t say such ominous things in front of you. In short, I wish you smooth sailing in your subsequent battles, and may the light of victory stay with you forever..”
“Thanks for the blessings.”
Fraser took a sip of tea, took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He stood up and said goodbye to Miriam.：
“Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to listen to me. Your analysis is very important to me and Ron. It seems that I need to arrange a suitable position for my reckless brother's future life..”
“A capable mercenary group might be good, or a retinue army used by the Cape family to advance the war..”
Miriam walked Fraser to the door and whispered:：
“Ron didn't really hate the war, he just chose the latter between duty and friendship..
Although his actions may seem reckless, the fact that he could do this for Dunn and the fallen warriors proves that he values friendship above all else, which means you can trust him.
It even goes beyond the trust between superiors and subordinates, the true trust between brothers, just like the big shots always have some things that are inconvenient for them to do..
Anyway, congratulations, Colonel, you have the best pair of bloody gloves..
Ahem, don’t show that expression. With your grammatical skills, you can naturally tell that I am not using it in a derogatory way..”
“I understand.”
Fraser frowned and nodded..
He said nothing more, said a very gentlemanly farewell, and then strode out of the Executive Yuan..
Miriam came to the window and watched her senior leave. She had just noticed that in Frazier's holster was the scarlet revolver she had given away..
