This Marquis Garcia leads to ride the army to support the front black, has not obtained the transfer order of duke Sir!” “听说了吗？这次加西亚侯爵率领黑骑军支援前线,根本就没有得到公爵大人的调令！” „What do you mean?

Therefore marquis Sir will halt in Ice Rock City, he and other military orders of duke Sir!” “没错！所以侯爵大人才会在冰岩城止步不前,他在等公爵大人的军令！” „! He had dispatched troops secretly, but also waits for what military order......” “呵！他都已经私自发兵了,还等什么军令……” „!
