The arrival of Regnar and Annelotte did not cause any sensation in the Hawke Empire's military camp. Because Manhattan didn't promote it at all. It wasn't that the old man meant to show off the status of the military and make Regnar look bad, it was just because the next action had to be unexpected to be effective. And this military camp seems to be full of Hawke Empire people. Who knows how many Stoker spies are planted in it? Once this kind of thing is exposed, how can Regnar destroy the magic cannon
Therefore, for Regnar's safety, Manhattan deliberately blocked the news of their arrival. They didn't even prepare a banquet, they just treated them like ordinary soldiers.
Neither Regner nor the two had any objections to this, and they were not fools. How could they put their own safety and mission aside for some situational issues? Anyway, Kordak and Vera were with them to reminisce about the past, and for them, this was enough.
Regner told Kordak about what he had encountered in the military intelligence office in the past six months, although the two had been separated for a long time. But Regner still believed in this big brother without reservation, so he was willing to listen to Kordak's opinion on many things. Kordak was not polite. He analyzed Regnar's current situation and then gave many practical suggestions.
Vera, on the other hand, pulled Annelotte aside and muttered. Seeing the dissatisfied look on this woman's face, Regnar couldn't help but wonder, what else can the boss do in the military camp
Not long after, Annelotte's expression when she looked at Kordak was not so kind. This aggravated Regnar's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask: "Boss, why have you provoked Sister Vera recently?"
"Hey, don't mention it." Kordak scratched his thick hair in distress: "Did you know that General Manhattan has a granddaughter?"
Regnar thought for a while, then nodded: "Yes, I remember your name is Lanmir, right?"
"It's because of her." Kordak spread his hands: "I was injured before, and Lanmir came to help me heal my injuries. After that, I chatted with her for a few more words, and then Vera became a little dissatisfied."
"You still have the nerve to say it?" Vera still heard the conversation between the two of them from a distance, and she walked over with an aggrieved look on her face: "Is that an ordinary chat? Huh! I think it's almost the same as flirting. Moreover, General Manhattan seems to keep you in contact with Lanmir, intentionally or unintentionally. Can you tell me if I won't be angry?"
Regnar was stunned. He turned to look at Kordak and asked in astonishment, "Is this happening?"
"..., so be it." Kordak admitted reluctantly: "But it seems to me that the old general just appreciates me and intends to cultivate me."
"Can you cultivate your own granddaughter?!" Vera has been holding back on these things for the past few days. Now that Regnar and Annelotte have come, Vera is like the irritated little daughter-in-law of her mother's family. The same broke out. She said with red eyes: "Cultivation? Cultivate you directly into their Rodades family?"
"You..." Kordak frowned irritably.
"Boss!" Regnar saw that Kordak's expression was not good, and he quickly said: "You two calm down first, how about you let me and Annie have a word?"
"Boss, this is your fault." Annelotte spoke directly: "Your performance is indeed suspected of being half-hearted. I think it is very rare for Sister Vera to be able to endure it until now."
"Hey, there are even more half-hearted people here, okay, why are you pointing the finger at me?" Kordak suddenly pointed at Regnar very unjustly.
"Boss, do you know that you are selling your teammates?" Regna almost jumped up.
"This is also a fact!" Kordak did not hesitate.
"You and Xiao Lei are two different things. Don't mix them up. Today I'll just talk about your problems." Vera came out to help.
"That's right!" Regnar said quickly.
"What can happen to me?!" Kordak became a little angry when faced with the siege of three people: "That Lanmir and I are really just ordinary friends, nothing else!"
"You may think so, but Lanmire may not necessarily think so, and General Manhattan may not think so either." Annelotte analyzed coldly.
"..." Kordak was speechless. He held it in for a long time before muttering: "What do they think... I don't know..."
"Look, it's true." Regnar curled his lips. He looked at Vera, whose eyes were red, and knew that his eldest sister had indeed suffered a lot of grievances recently. If she had followed her normal temperament, she might have had a falling out with Kordak long ago. But because she was in a military camp, Vera probably didn't want to cause too much trouble, so she had been silent these past few days. Thinking about it this way, it seems that Vera has really changed a lot compared to before.
Regnar rolled his eyes, and then he said, "Let's do this, boss."
"What?" Kordak asked angrily.
"Why don't you assure Sister Vera here? The reason why Sister Vera is like this is because she feels uneasy from you. Just say a few words to her and make her feel at ease." Regnar said.
"..." Kordak remained silent.
"What? Don't you want to?" Regnar frowned. Kordak's behavior would be a bit intriguing. Does he really have other ideas? If this is the case, the problem will be huge.
"Boss, aren't you..." Regnar asked with a bit of disbelief: "That's Sister Vera, don't you even say some words of comfort?"
"Nonsense!" Old Kordak's face turned red in a rare sight: "You're fucking watching here, how can I say it out loud?!"
"Oh oh oh oh..." Only then did Regnar realize that he had made a mistake. He gave Annelotte a color and left with the Frost Girl.
"..." When there were only two people left, Vera felt awkward. The two were silent for a long time. Finally, Vera couldn't help but speak first: "I... I'm not..."
"No need to explain, mother-in-law." Kordak sighed, then stood up. He put his hands on Vera's shoulders and said in a gentle tone: "Actually, I still have the main responsibility for this matter. It's not easy for you to endure until now."
"If..." Vera bit her lower lip and said, "If Lanmir can help you get a good future, I can..."
"What a stupid thing to say!" Kordak scolded: "Is your man the kind of useless loser who can only rely on women to get ahead?"
"No... I..." Vera didn't know what to say.
Kordak held Vera in his arms: "Okay, mother-in-law, don't worry, you are my woman and I am your man, this will never change. I don't like that Lanmir... I I mean, I don’t like you like this... So, please believe me."
"..." Vera finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Kordak's assurance. She buried her head in Kordak's strong chest and whispered: "I'm sorry..."
…
After returning to his tent, Regnar and Annelotte discussed tomorrow night's action together. In order to avoid attracting others' attention, Regnar and Annelotte had no choice but to share a tent. When it was time to rest at night, Regnar realized that this seemed to be the first time that he and Annelotte had fallen asleep in the same room.
"Annie..." Regna spoke softly in the dark.
"Is something wrong?" Annelotte was obviously not asleep.
"You said before that the boss was half-hearted... At that time I..." Regnar didn't know what to say. He actually felt quite awkward when watching Annelotte accuse Kordak.
"..." Annelotte was silent for a minute, and then said, "Let's talk about this later. Tomorrow's mission is the key."
"That's right..." Regnar couldn't help but smile bitterly, what are he thinking about now? Think of a way to complete tomorrow's tasks, and sleep well!
Regnar pulled up the thin blanket on his body and fell asleep quickly. After all, he had been working overload at the Military Intelligence Office, so it was rare for him to have such a quiet night. What a shame not sleeping!
"Hey, Regnar..." After a long time, Annelotte spoke softly again.
"Huh?" Regnar responded in a daze.
"... Very...?" Annelotte's voice was as low as a mosquito's hum.
"Yes." Regnar replied in a daze: "I like you very much! I always have!"
"!!!" Annelotte was startled. Her voice was so low that she didn't even hear her words clearly. But how could Regnar, who was already in a semi-asleep state, hear what she just asked? And the answer was so loud? Do assassins have such good ears
"Well! Annie, please trust me, I will protect you..." Regna said babbled.
"..." Annelotte finally understood that Regnar was not answering her question at all... this guy... this guy... he was just talking in his sleep...
"Are you thinking of me in your dream too..." Thinking of this, Annelotte's face couldn't help but feel slightly hot. She originally wanted to fall asleep quietly with such shy emotions. But I heard Regna nagging: "But Annie, you are too fierce, even more fierce than Sister Vera. How can you get along with Irene and Yi Ni in the future? My harem is not Internal strife is allowed!"
Annelotte sat up, and then softly cast a spell to create a silent barrier in the tent. Then, she looked at Regna with a creepy and charming smile on her face.
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
