[Don't search for the little friction between General Richard Laine and that gentleman back then anymore, haven't you seen it after reading the previous two chapters? While the Witch was painstakingly weaving the 'Soul Taking Web Battle', and the Sly Fox was fiercely fighting the core strength of the King of Sin's army on the Red Cloud Platform, who did that gentleman choose as his final shield?
It was General Richard Laine, the Iron Lion! Precisely because of his and his belonging's steadfast defense for three whole days, in a situation where their forces, supplies, and average combat power were far inferior to the opponent's, they fought fiercely till the last moment, allowing that gentleman to remotely command three war zones simultaneously until he received his most faithful Skolk main battle army!
If there really was a rift between the two, those series of extreme adventurous operations wouldn't have established from the start.
