Lucat's affirmative answer immediately dispelled Edelman's worries.
He thought to himself that this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Although the First Fleet has suffered heavy damage, saving the Second Fleet is the best way to stop the losses in time. Once they return home safely, they can bring the latest intelligence about the Yan people.
Just as he was thinking this, Lucate said again, "Marshal Edelman, it's no problem for me to pass on your message, but I think you have to give me a token, otherwise when I meet with the commander of your Second Fleet, he might doubt the authenticity of my words."
Upon hearing this, Edelman immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Marshal Lucat's considerations are indeed thorough."
After saying that, he reached into his collar and took out a series of pocket watches hanging around his neck. After opening the watch cover, Edman took out a gold ring from one of them.
Then, he handed the gold ring engraved with Edman's name to Lucat, saying:
“Marshal Lucat, this is a gold ring bestowed upon me by the Emperor. It is exclusively mine. The commander of the Second Fleet is Army General Marshal Xia Liyan. When you meet him, all you need to do is present this gold ring.”
"He will trust you completely."
Lucat took the gold ring, rubbed it in his hand a few times, and said, "Alright, I will convey all your words to Marshal Xia Liyan."
Edelman nodded with a smile and said, "With your help, I believe they will be able to return safely."
"Of course, we will not let you help us for nothing. We will remember this kindness. If your country needs help in the future, we will definitely provide assistance. We hope to become your country's most trustworthy friend."
Upon hearing this, Lucat sighed softly: "Marshal Edelman, I think you should know that the relationship between our country and Hungary has never been very good."
"Although there have been no open conflicts between us in recent years, the Huns' hostility towards us has never subsided, and it has intensified after the last South China Sea war."
"And when this battle ends, these shameless Huns will definitely try to pin the blame for the defeat on us."
"These damn guys..."
Edelman immediately replied, "You don't need to worry."
"If the Huns dare to attack your country, you only need to inform us, and the Emperor will surely speak up for your country."
"We Goths believe in repaying debts and repaying kindness!"
“I had heard before that on the continent of Feni, the Hunnic Kingdom had seized territory that rightfully belonged to you. Those guys are too arrogant.”
Lucate's eyes flashed: "Oh, you know about this too?"
Edman nodded and said, "I know a little."
"The Kingdom of Sauri occupies the best and largest piece of land on the continent of Feni, and considers itself the leader. However, they ignore this matter and disregard the shameless behavior of the Hunli, causing your country to suffer losses."
"Their bystander attitude, I think, is perhaps because the Huns have been doing something behind the scenes..."
Lucate shook his head helplessly and said, "Maybe."
"In short, once I return to China, I will inevitably face accountability from all sides, and I am mentally prepared for that."
Edman gave him a deep look but didn't say anything more.
But Lucat then changed the subject, saying, "By the way, Marshal Edelman, besides a large number of soldiers, your Second Fleet should also have a lot of land warfare weapons, right?"
Without a second thought, Edman replied, "Of course."
"The original battle plan was to have them land in Yan Kingdom, quickly occupy major coastal cities of Yan Kingdom, establish a front line, and provide camps for the troops that followed."
“But now…” Edman shrugged and sighed.
After he finished speaking, Lucate said in a deep voice, "There is still a chance."
"Although we cannot defeat the Yan people at sea for the time being, as long as we can develop new weapons, I believe the balance of victory will tilt in our favor."
It must be said that Lucate's words greatly cheered up Edelman, who was in a slump, and he immediately replied, "That's for sure."
"We won't keep losing!"
"Just wait, we will make them pay the price in the future!" Edman said with a fierce expression.
Lucat pursed his lips slightly and nodded in agreement.
Edelman then solemnly added, "Marshal Lucat, just to be on the safe side, please do not divulge what I have just told you."
"The fewer people who know, the better. Therefore, it is best not to reveal this even to your closest confidants."
"As you know, this matter is extremely important. If the people of Yan Kingdom were to find out..."
With a solemn expression, Edelman continued, "That would be a disaster befalling our Delta Federation."
Upon hearing this, Lucat's expression turned serious, and he patted his chest, assuring everyone, "Okay."
"I will absolutely not reveal a single word of it."
"Don't worry, I will help you solve this problem and get you through this difficult time."
——
Meanwhile, Federich, who had returned to camp, was having a private talk with Winston.
"See that? Winston."
“If those Shenglu people had just surrendered, that would have been fine, but look at how arrogant they are now.”
"These sons of bitches!" Federich cursed under his breath, his face ashen.
Winston, on the other hand, looked much better. He nodded expressionlessly and said, "Although, judging from the current situation, they are being coerced by the Yan people."
