Conflict

Selina gathered the core members of the Eldia Restorationists of the Third Regiment together, looking at the intelligence about Lieutenant Colonel Loa that her subordinates had brought them.

Obtaining this intelligence wasn't difficult. If you were willing to spend a sum of money, the staff officers in those Command Headquarters would be happy to sell this personal information about their commanders to the Eldia Forces. After all, the timid and cowardly Eldians wanted to know their commanders' temperaments.

Loa Russell, a Marley Nobility. The Russell Family is a declining Nobility in Marley with few members. Loa seems to be the last surviving member of his family. His mother died early, and his father, Osi Russell, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the Marley Guard Corps, but he died of illness ten years ago. According to the tradition of Marley Nobility, it is considered that the son follows in his father's footsteps.

"A Nobility?" Selina was somewhat surprised. Nobility, even a fallen Nobility, was still Nobility. Why would he come to their dangerous frontline troops?

The intelligence report also contained some information about the Russell Family, but there was almost nothing in it. All that was known was that Loa's only relative was his blind grandmother, and his father had a brother, Loa's uncle, but this uncle had disappeared when he was young and probably wouldn't be back for more than ten years.

After reading the intelligence, Selina had some guesses. Could it be that this Loa had offended some powerful Nobility and was assigned to their Third Regiment? After all, according to the intelligence, this Lieutenant Colonel Loa was just a nobody among the Nobility.

Selina summoned an Eldia Soldiers, who was the very Soldiers Selina had placed to keep an eye on Yago's every move. Selina inquired in detail about Loa's activities over the past few days, but Selina was quite puzzled by what she learned.

"You mean he's practically never left the tent except to eat, sleep, and use the toilet? He's been constantly reviewing documents? And he's so polite?" Selina was dumbfounded. What was going on? He didn't act all high and mighty when he took office, but now he's acting like a complete couch potato?

This caused Selina, who had been on guard, to deflate like a punctured balloon, or like a taut fist hitting soft cotton.

The Eldia Restorationists around Selina were also stunned. "This... this is truly beyond our expectations. What should we do? Should we take him down?"

Selina shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then looked at everyone present seriously and said, "That's not a good idea. If we kill this Marley Officer, who knows if the Marleyan will send another one? Compared to the previous Marley Officer, this Loa is the easiest for us to control. This guy seems to be just a useless, cowardly Nobility."

"Just keep an eye on him; he can be a convenient shield for us. The most important thing now is the development of our Restorationists."

His amber eyes suddenly turned to an Eldia Soldiers on the right. "Light, how's the situation with the Seventh Regiment?"

Light, whose name was called, paused for a moment, then lowered his head in shame. "No, it's not going well. My compatriots don't seem to have any interest in the Restorationists. Some people even doubted my identity just because I mentioned Restorationists names. The Seventh Regiment has only recruited less than fifty people so far."

"The situation in the Fifth Regiment is also not good..."

"The Sixth Regiment is completely unresponsive..."

"Huh? I thought the Ninth Regiment, which I was in charge of, would be the most difficult to manage. How come I've recruited the most? There are probably over four hundred people interested in the Ninth Regiment..."

Listening to her subordinates' chattering reports, Selina couldn't help but rub her temples. Perhaps when she was with Jack and the others, Selina had been excited about the thousands of people the Restorationists had recruited.

However, after the Marley Army, Selina truly realized just how enormous Marley was. Compared to Marley's million-strong army, the few thousand Eldia Restorationists Soldiers Selina had developed were nothing but a drop in the ocean.

To think they could overthrow Marley with such limited strength is simply a pipe dream.

While the Eldia Restorationists were arguing, a figure had already taken up position outside the tent. The Eldia Soldiers on duty didn't even notice that a person with their arms crossed was standing in the corner outside the tent.

Loa, also known as Yago, whom the Restorationists were referring to, leaned against the tent, listening to the argument inside. He couldn't help but smile; it seemed his guess was correct—they really were Eldia Restorationists.

Yago had no interest in the Eldia restoration plan these people were talking about. He had already accomplished half of his objective in the past few days, having thoroughly understood the composition and combat system of the Marley Army through various sources. The remaining half of his objective was to target the new Titan created by Ebson.

However, hearing Selina say that his Loa identity made him timid and useless made Yago somewhat unhappy. He was just a quiet, studious, and polite young man, so how did he become a cowardly Nobility in other people's mouths?

Silently, Yago left and returned to his tent, where he gathered a stack of documents—information he had compiled over the past few days about the Marley Army, which he believed would be helpful to Paradis Island.

After finishing all this, Yago decided to leave the Military Camp. After all, there was nothing to do there. Should he stay and help the Marleyan fight the Middle Easterners? Or should he help the Eldia Restorationists overthrow the Marley? Neither seemed realistic.

But just as Yago finished packing, a commotion suddenly erupted from the Military Camp outside, growing louder and louder. As Yago wondered what was happening, an Eldia Soldiers rushed in, panting, "Sir, sir, no, something terrible has happened! Captain Selina and the quartermaster are fighting! You must go and see!"

"What? What's going on?" Yago exclaimed in surprise, but still dressed properly and followed the Eldia Soldiers out of the tent to the scene of the incident.

At this time, dozens of trucks carrying supplies were parked outside the Third Regiment's Military Camp, but the small pile of supplies inside the Third Regiment's camp was estimated to be not even enough to fill a single truck.

At this moment, Selina's amber eyes turned somewhat red with anger, and she was still clutching the collar of a Marley Officer.

The Marley Selina Officer, whose face was covered in grease and whose once-fitting uniform was now stretched taut over his body, was being angrily ordered the Marley Soldiers around him to help pull the crazy woman away.

The Eldia Soldiers of the Third Regiment were also trying their best to dissuade Selina, because they couldn't afford to offend this obese Marley Officer, who was the Officer in charge of logistics and supplies for their frontline Eldia Forces.

He controlled all the weapons, ammunition, food, and medicine the troops needed. If they offended him, these Eldia Soldiers might have to attack the Middle Easterners fortresses on empty stomachs with Rifle that were out of bullets.

When Yago arrived, he saw the scene before him: Selina, being held back by three or four Soldiers, was struggling and yelling like an angry lioness, while a fat Marley Officer was also furiously clutching his torn collar.

What's going on?
