Matthius Vandel.
Kurt Vandel's father.
The holder of the name "Thor".
The last of the top three imperial swordsmen, he is also the one who is as famous as Victor in the true sense among the imperial warriors. He has been the twin swordsman of the empire since his youth, and later both inherited the two major schools of the empire.
One is the head of the Alside style, and the other is the head of the Fandel style.
Alleria is where she is today because she stepped on the shoulders of these two giants of swordsmanship.
It is impossible for Victor to be unfamiliar with this old friend and rival. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the key points.
"Indeed, under the current situation, he is more suitable for this position than me, even if I am not injured-"
In terms of personal accomplishments such as strength, brains, magnanimity, reputation, etc., Victor believed that he was not inferior to Matthius.
But being a captain requires more than just individuals, but also other aspects.
Martius' greatest strength was his relationship with the royal family.
The Fandel family has been the guardian of the royal family since the time of Delekyles. Although they were deprived of their position by Osborne, the "initiator" after the civil war, the relationship between people is not so easy to cut off.
Just like Kurt entered the palace from a young age and accompanied Crown Prince Cedric, Matthius also grew up with Emperor Euken III. Even without the position of guardian, the friendship over the past few decades is still extraordinary, reaching out to the Emperor trust.
Don't forget, Karejas was once a royal ship. Appointing a former royal guardian as captain must be justified, and kindness can be regarded as compensation for being deprived of the guardianship "without reason".
And with this relationship, Osborne will have more worries about dealing with Mattius, at least more than dealing with Victor.
Of course, there are also disadvantages.
Martius was a die-hard loyalist to the emperor, not a direct descendant of Oribat. His political stance was somewhat different from Victor's. Fortunately, they both had the same desire to maintain peace and stability in the empire, so there was not much of a difference.
"——I will inform His Highness about this."
"Not only His Highness, but also His Majesty, if possible, together with the matter of going to Codex Country for treatment."
"Are you trying to show weakness?"
Victor and Rean are both smart people who have reached the realm of "reason" and can grasp the core with just a thread.
Victor is the benchmark for imperial warriors and the most important pillar of the Oribat faction. If something goes wrong with him, the entire faction will be affected, so he has been hiding the news of his respiratory injury.
But things are different now, the back wavers have grown up.
In particular, Li En, a monster, not only gradually equaled Qian Lang in terms of martial arts cultivation, but his ability to plan plots was even more terrifying. In just a short time, he had assembled a team that no one could underestimate, even his most outstanding disciple. Alleria was won over by him.
Victor has no doubt that even if he falls, Rean can continue to support the Oribat faction in his position, and even do better than himself.
However, the big tree attracts the wind.
The stronger the Olibate faction becomes, the more it will arouse the vigilance of other factions.
The best way to dispel this vigilance is to "expose one's shortcomings."
Now, when Rean is "progressing with great joy", it is the right time for Victor to "retreat bravely from the rapids".
The best thing is that Victor's shortcomings are not just an act, they are real, and no one can fault them - I fought and died in order to save the country, and I am the strongest when it comes to toughness. Now I need to treat the sequelae. It makes sense, right? ?
As for the treatment, I don’t know how long it will take before it is truly cured. I just know that this injury is very troublesome, so please don’t think about me for the time being and treat me as if I don’t exist.
In this way, Victor can move from the light to the dark, echoing Rean who has exposed his realm and moved from the dark to the light.
One light and one dark.
This moment is just like that moment.
This is Rean's true intention.
"Thor" Mattius was only introduced as a "shield", and his focus was never on the game.
Indeed, Mattius is Jukent's childhood friend, and Oribat is Jukent's biological flesh and blood. Wouldn't it also blow up the ship?
To ensure the safety of Red Wing, changing the captain is useless. Rean has already arranged the most effective way - to let Angelica board the ship.
She had served as a helmsman in the civil war and was familiar with all aspects, and her own abilities were not to be mentioned.
The most important thing is that the executor of the plan to blow up the ship is George. Everyone knows that he likes Angelica. If you have the ability, you will blow up the ship.
Of course, with Rean's style of acting, he clearly explained the risks to Angelica before taking action, and the latter chose to accept it with complete understanding.
Even so, Li En was still worried and secretly added two layers of protection, but they have not been implemented yet.
Once fully implemented, the expressions of all parties will be quite interesting.
With Rean's innocent character, he couldn't help but have some expectations.
Whether it's playing chess or counting people, no matter the long-term or short-term layout, isn't it just for the moment of harvest?
Thinking of this, Rean raised his head and looked out the window, looking at the far north and the approaching final battlefield.
It was obvious that he was unarmed and had nothing to do with the posture of fighting, but it made Victor feel dangerous for no reason.
At this moment, he seemed to be back on the battlefield with Macbon, facing the black flames that did not belong to this world.
I...should I change my previous attitude?
This is no longer a question of whether the man is good or not, or whether he is lucky or not, but whether one is too smart and the other is too clumsy.
It's good that smart people don't have bad intentions. If they do, clumsy people, no, as long as they are not smart enough, I'm afraid they will all be fooled.
Look at Jingna, she was arranged by Rean in just a few words during dinner, and she happily prepared to leave for Liber to compete with Cassius.
Now it seems that it should also be a part of "showing weakness". The fewer masters around, the better, the farther away, the better, and the less they have anything to do with the chaos of the empire, the better.
My stupid daughter... If possible, I hope she chooses someone who is hard-working, simple and not so smart.
The water for a monster like Rean Schwarzer is too deep, you can't control it.
It's just that...the stupid daughter is not only extremely stubborn in this regard, but also has an amazingly good mentality.
Although he was shaken by the appearance of Jingna at the beginning, he quickly recovered and became more confident than ever after the extraordinary 2V2.
The old father remembers clearly that after the competition, he went to his daughter to ask her thoughts about watching the game and her evaluation.
He was not telling his feelings, nor was he lamenting the gap in swordsmanship, nor was he feeling sorry for himself because of the tacit understanding between Rean and Jingna that transcended "two bodies as one", but he said this -
"There is no bond between them!"
