Chapter 118 Leaving the empire 8 (2/2)
the leading white mana armor raised one of its hands which signaled the others to stop and alone walked forwards towards Varvei and then it... kneeled down
”I ASKED YOU, WHY ARE YOU HERE!?”
the white mana armor lowered its head low before it spoke
”your subordinate is here apologize general”
Mars walked up next to Varvei and petted her on the back
”calm down Varvei”
”okay... ugh this idiot, I'm no longer a general you know that right Jeff?”
the white mana armor spoke out again
”in your subordinate's eyes you will always be the flaming rose general”
Mars' eyes widened slightly and looked at Varvei, of cause he had his suspicions about Varvei being the flaming rose general but hearing it for real was a little of a shock, Mars then pointed his sword at the white mana armor and spoke
”...come out of your armor if you want to talk”
the white mana armor ignored Mars and kept still until Varvei gave a sigh
”do as Mars says”
”understood general”
the back of the mana armor opened and a middle aged man jumped out, he had sort graying hair and a muscular figure he walked over and stopped a few meters ahead of Varvei before he kneeled down again which caused Varvei to give yet another sigh as she once again asked
”why are you here Jeff?”
”your subordinate is here to apologize for his incompetence”
Varvei gave yet another sigh and kneeled down and put her hand on Jeff's shoulder and once again asked this time in a soft almost in inaudible voice
”why are you here Jeff?”
”to help you escape the empire's reach”
”I'm pretty sure that's not your orders though?”
”orders given by the now ruling faction is to be ignored by my own discretion”
Varvei gave yet another sigh before she asked
”what do you want me to do? fight another long and bloody civil war to overthrow the human supremacists and restore the empire to its past glory?”
”no your subordinate wishes for you to live a long and happy life away from the empire”
”but that---”
”Varvei”
Varvei was about to say something only to have Mars interrupt her
”what is it Mars?”
”I think we can trust him for now”
”but that's not what I'm talking about, I' worried he will be branded a criminal and sentenced to death for violating orders”
”look at him for a second Varvei those this Jeff seem like a man of poor resolve?”
”but---”
”general we are all here of our free will to help you”
Varvei looked like she had a headache coming and massaged her temples for sometime until she finally gave yet another sigh and said
”fine, but no more general this general that call me by my name”
Varvei stopped off towards the military sky carriage leaving Mars and Jeff
”oh by the way Jeff was it?”
”yes what is it?”
”for me making a repeat of what happened in Ely isn't hard, so you better be sincere when you say you want to help her”
”...I can swear by the 13 if you want”
Mars gave a grin and pulled out his necklace of the apostle and showed it to Jeff
”no I trust you... for now”
”a-apostle... so the generals rescue was a divine order?”
”nah it was my will alone”
”...okay”
Mars reached out and gave Jeff a hand as he helped him to his feet again before both of them looked towards Varvei that was walking towards the military sky carriage as she yelled
”come on Mars or I'll leave you behind”
”yeah I'm coming now”
Mars gave a wry smile and followed after Varvei and soon both of them had boarded the military sky carriage
