Chapter 51: Fere Libenter Homines Id Quod Volunt Credunt
After talking with Renaldo, Bonifacio tried to calm himself down and tried to drink some water, he's still shaken deep inside but with orders from his leader, he needs to perform to the best of his abilities.
As a veteran soldier, Bonifacio has been through a lot of things, and although his current predicament is vastly different than his past incursions, he still adjusted his mental for he can't afford to mess it up right now, he's handling thousands of life under him, and him being fucked up in the head is the worst thing that could happen so he tried his hardest to just sleep his worries away.
The next day, Bonifacio went back to Orion's camp, appearing very confident yet deep in his bones, his fear of the unknown creeps up inside him. His point of view vastly differs than Renaldo's, for Bonifacio is a man of God and everything that he's seeing right now points out that his beliefs are either false or there is much more than what it seems when it comes to higher beings.
When he came to Orion's halls, Bonifacio perked up and bowed in a way that is neither subservient nor proud, he appeared steadfast outside for showing his weak side towards these creatures also means slurring the image of his whole faction behind him.
"Your Highness Lord Orion, I have communicated with our leader and my master, Renaldo about your offer of alliance, he told me that negotiations are not to be entertained for now, because he wants to come here personally to talk terms with your Highness, he also wants me to convey his apologies for he needs to lead his armies to battle before he comes here. My master, Renaldo hopes that you can afford to wait for him to come after the battle against the incoming forces from the Spanish Empire, We hope that you can agree to this Your Highness, for we are in a tough predicament right now" Bonifacio talked eloquently, looking directly at Orion's face that doesn't show any emotion, as if he's devoid from it, as if he's an aloof being on top of this world.
Despite appearing void of emotions, Orion is currently fuming inside his mind right now, he thought;
"This is preposterous! They want me, The King to wait for them?! If it wasn't for my wife dying and is in need of their technological attainments to extend her life, do they think that I won't dare wipe out their entire army with my own?! I SWEAR UPON MY NAME, THAT ONCE I GOT WHAT I WANTED, I WILL SHOW THEM THE MIGHT OF THIS KING! AND IF I DON'T WIPE THEM OUT FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH, THEN MY NAME IS NOT ORION!" Orion swore deep inside, biding his time while showing a different attitude outside as he said;
"Of course! why wouldn't I agree? This world doesn't belong to us anymore, most of my people have already traversed towards the Forgotten Lands to live there for eternity, if it wasn't for my wife being unfit for the long travel, I would've brought everyone already, I hope that we can mingle and communicate properly when your leader, His Highness Renaldo comes here."
Appreciative of Orion's understanding, Bonifacio smiled and replied;
"Thank you for your understanding Your Highness, I'm sure that you and my master will be able to come to terms amiably for you both think alike, both of you are great leaders and as a great leader, I know that you have a lot on your plate right now Your Highness, So I won't take your time and attention any longer, I will see myself out, thank you for your hospitality Lord Orion" Bonifacio bowed before making his way towards the exit.
After going back in his camp, Bonifacio immediately ordered his men to fortify their defenses and mingle less towards Orion's people, for he felt weird when Orion was acting amicably towards him and his leader despite them technically pushing him aside, for Bonifacio knows the temperament of a leader, especially someone as powerful as Orion, people like him always tends to be a bit narcissitic while also having some sociopathic tendencies that are capable of hiding what they truly feel and based on Bonifacio's experience towards Russia's Monarchy, it's probably best if he and his men prepare for a betrayal even if the chances are low, it's still best to prepare, this is what Renaldo has taught him when he was still mentoring Bonifacio towards the art of war.
Meanwhile, on Renaldo's side
Despite Bonifacio's findings, Renaldo's war plans still hinges on his prototype chainsword and power armor so he immediately set aside the darkhorse that is the Spirit Realm and put his attention towards continuing this project of his.
His seclusion went on for days, and after almost a week of exhausting and grueling experimentation and creation, a haggard looking Renaldo is currently looking at a set of both power armor and chainsword with glimmers in his eyes, he has finally finished it! He thought; although Renaldo hasn't been able to find the missing link that made power armors in his past life, this current version of his power armor is enough to mow and reap countless lives in the battlefield a few weeks from now. He used steel both as the power armor frame and the armor, given that it will be super heavy, but with the help of his strength as a super soldier using his past life's knowledge, he will be able to use it, the only downside of this will be the fuel consumption, as it will probably need the same amount of fuel as his tiger tanks to last a whole battle, yet the current fuel capacity of his power armor is just half of what a tiger can carry.
The Chainsword on the other hand is functional already, though not on the same level as the future version. Renaldo used Tungsten on the edges of the chainsword for it to be able to rip apart steel like tofu, and though this is just his secondary weapon, because he still needs to use machineguns as his main weapon, this is still more than enough as a secondary, he was a chainsword main in his past life afterall, with countless lives reaped by his prowess in using the chainsword in battle.
With that problem temporarily fixed, Renaldo immediately went to his mother to say his farewell, and to tell her how to manage Manila while he's gone.
The battlefield welcomes back its only begotten son, because Renaldo's coming home.
