"Hold the line firmly? Hold the line firmly. Hold the line firmly!" Miss Sailulu gritted her teeth, her voice trembling slightly.
"Yes. As long as we hold firm, there will definitely be a way." Captain Peggese's words carried unmistakable sarcasm.
"Those people from the Tanlian family!" Sailulu's expression twisted slightly. She had probably already started cursing inwardly.
Speaking of which, the Marquis House of Seretidine, from which Viscountess Sailulu came, was indeed on very poor terms with the Ducal House of Tanlian, from which Lieutenant General Renia Tanlian came. Even if it could not be called a blood feud between mortal enemies, they had at least been political rivals for several generations.
Even at a time like this, Jaeger Sobaek retained a considerable degree of calm. He shook his head and said, "This doesn't seem like Lieutenant General Tanlian's style. I've worked with her before, after all. She isn't that kind of person."
"I know. No one from the Tanlian family could do this either. I was just looking for an excuse to curse her a couple of times." Viscountess Sailulu forced an exceedingly ugly smile. "At a time like this, if I don't pick a fight now, I may never have the chance again."
Indeed, speaking frankly, both families were typical military aristocrats and renowned military houses. They had produced many famous generals and top-tier Starrealm Knights throughout the generations, yet they had never held particularly deep influence in the Heavenly Domain's court. They were obviously not adept at political struggles. The Tanlian family would never stoop to sending their comrades to certain death.
"Then it must have been that Highness's order?" Captain Peggese asked.
Miss Sailulu shot the captain a glance and stepped away, probably not wanting to get blood splattered all over her.
