Regressor of the Fallen Family Chapter 141

A distance of over one kilometer separated the retreating camps of the two factions, with their leaders facing each other in the center of the open field.

Thump.

Rolling.

Here is the head of Roger Bifrost. Its a bit aged, but you might want to inspect it further?

No, Ill take your retreat at your word. However, if you go back on it

Do not bother with empty threats. Weve withdrawn from this war and will absolutely not partake again.

Logans words made Wicken Callian grind his teeth.

Hmph fine. If anyone could say it, its you, Logan McLaine.

Better hurry back. The Second Princes forces will soon begin their assault.

What?

The moment your force attacked, we had already sent a signal.

The truth was, he was about to send it.

What?! Damn

Seems youve no time to be angry with me?

You, just you wait.

Though he spoke thus, Wicken Callian retreated, glaring at Logan as if keeping him in check.

His form sliding backwards without moving his feet, as if carried by the wind.

And even that retreat was swift as a gale; soon he stood at the rear of the Kaihl Knights.

All troops, regroup! Full speed back to headquarters!

Only then did Logan turn, spitting out the blood he had been suppressing.

Cough.

Gh

My lord!

Between the fading threads of consciousness, he heard a voice calling him, but Logan lacked the strength to respond.

The act could continue no longer; his limits had been reached.

I need to send a signal quicklyto pit them against each other in a bloody fight.

He pushed aside the thoughts that came to mind momentarily.

[Bifrosts assault, followed by an attack from the First Princes troops, your grace. How should I interpret this?]

A pale-faced youth appeared within the communication sphere, contempt in his red eyes.

Normally, Yordan Valdermaine wouldve berated such insolence, but the horrendous state of McLaines forces seen in real time left him without words.

Its all my oversight.

A detailed explanation unlike anything hed uttered before.

I have no excuse, even with ten mouths, for making you face the brunt of a weapon I gave to supplement insufficient forces.

His uncharacteristically humble speech failed to impress.

[Roger Bifrost is a well-known confidant of yours. Did you really know nothing of his actions?]

The counterargument from the other side was not assuaged.

Even if it had been me

Yordan Valdermaines teeth grated.

He harbored an ill thought but now had to persuade the other party at all costs.

Losing McLaine along with the already shattered Bifrost?

The victorious momentum he barely seized was about to slip away again.

Just hear me out! His actions were truly

[We openly sacrificed everything for the faction. Yet we were backstabbed. What would your grace have done?]

Unable to rebuke the one who cut him off.

The thick anger could be felt in the calm tone over the communication sphere.

young lord Logan, calm down and hear me

[Turning the tide in the war, I did not expect to have such goodwill repaid this manner. I did not know your grace was so petty. Do you wish for me to defect to the First Prince?]

Listen to me!!

[Now whos angry!]

Truly, if I had intended to attack you, would I only have used Roger? Just think calmly, that was his own decision!

In trying to appease him, he himself became agitated.

However, it appeared to sway the other.

[Hm indeed, you have a point.]

Dont misunderstand! I can more than compensate for your losses. Lets talk it out and calm down.

[Huh after the war ends?]

Logans mocking tone sent Yordans blood pressure rising. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

He restrained himself despite decades worth of irritation brimming.

[Are you jesting right now? After being backstabbed, you speak of compensation after the war ends? Hah. It seems youre set on turning my insides out.]

Holding back the boiling rage, Yordan was helpless to do otherwise.

If you have terms, state them. Whatever I can do, I will fulfill.

At last, he admitted defeat with a deep sigh.

Yordan hoped to secure McLaineat any cost.

I can just ignore it later.

But the other party did not accept even this.

[Firstly, my family and I will return to our territories.]

What?!

[Continued fighting is impractical under these circumstances. And I must profess, I can no longer trust the faction. Thus, McLaine will withdraw from this war entirely. Should you win, all we ask is that you honor the initial promise.]

Think it over, Logan. McLaine is worth more than you realize. Even if you abstain from the mission for now and provide weapons, victory is assured. I will not force participation

Despite Yordans attempts at persuasion,

[After such betrayal, you want me to provide weapons? Sorry, but I am not such a fool.]

Logans resolve was implacable.

As I said, that was Rogers unilateral act!

[I am not defecting to the First Prince because I believe that. Yet, its difficult for us to continue aiding your faction.]
