Chapter 278: 15 year old Inglis and the Eastern Front (9)
「What’s so funny?!」
「You’re as naive as always! I’m relieved to see you haven’t changed! Yes, even to my eyes, you were giving your all to fight those magic stone beasts! You even went all the way into the enemy’s territory for that! Hah! You truly embody your intent to prove that all humans should join hands to defeat the magic stone beasts!」
「……You knew, so why?!」
「Even so! At the end of the day, you’re still the invaders who’re going to violate our country, using magic stone beasts as your advance force! Can’t you tell? Nobody gives a s̲h̲i̲t̲ about what you want, not in this s̲h̲i̲t̲h̲o̲l̲e̲ of a world!1 Anyone with the power to subdue their opponent decides everything! Both justice and truth are all byproducts of power!」
「Kgh……we still could talk!」
「We could never!! If you wish to talk, use your power to speak, Raphael Wilford! Your head will be perfect for my military medal!」
「Argh!! You’re asking it!」
I have no choice but take out Rochefort! Should they lose their general, their troops will lose the will to fight and will have to cooperate in clearing out the magic stone beasts, or at least cease their attacks.
Rochefort seemed to give priority to attacking us over the magic stone beasts, but not every Venefique generals should think the same. There has to be some of them who sees that this is no time to be fighting Charalia.
