The change in the Elwyn Line was noticed by many.

They are not blind, how can they not see.

It's just that these things have nothing to do with them.

As long as the stability of the Elwyn line can be maintained.

It doesn't matter who it is.

Moreover, those Imperial soldiers have been doing okay these days.

They took care of it very well.

You can barely find any problems.

And after gaining the initiative over the Elvin Line.

These imperial guys.

Give everyone some information or potions for free.

Although the things are not very expensive.

But, it's the kind you're sure to use.

So there are quite a few of them.

Anyway, everyone has benefited from the Delos Empire.

Naturally, there are some biases in their favor.

Naturally, those high and low professionals didn't react, and they didn't like that thing.

But for those who are new to the adventure.

That's different.

That's a lot of calculations on top of them.

Even if you don't say anything.

There will also be a slight affection for the Delos Empire.

Plus they don't know the real way things are.

Hear the propaganda of those people.

Naturally, it's the guys who will be biased towards the Empire.

This would be very bad for the principality.

However, there was nothing Varro could do.

They can't do the same.

Those things aren't expensive though.

However, there are a lot of them.

If you get it, it will cost a lot of money.

How can he have so much money.

Besides, even if there is.

You asked him to use his family money to give flowers to the principality?

Isn't that silly?

He's only saved up so much after so many years here.

He's not going to throw it in.

Others who will remember him well.

There are benefits to the above things, and no one necessarily has to say a few words for themselves.

If he does, isn't it a thankless effort?

So, naturally, no.

However, Varro still has to tell Marven about it.

After all, this deacon has also made a lot of money in the Elwyn Line over the years.

It would be enough if he could take a little bit of it.

After all, those things weren't very expensive in the first place.

It depends on this deacon, he is reluctant to give up.

After all, if this does not continue.

Sooner or later, they have no influence at all on the Elwyn Line.

Now those people are putting pressure on them. On one side are the professionals on the defensive line.

The intent is evident at a glance.

Isn't it the intent to implicate the entire Elwyn Line?

It's just that compared to the actions of the Imperial Guards.

The Duchy is a bit more negative.

They were just there to protest weakly.

The only thing that makes people a little tougher is to stick to their posts.

He didn't even hesitate to get into an argument with those guys from the Empire.

They could have arrested them all.

That's the case.

It's not something inside the Elwyn Line.

Directly it is tantamount to a declaration of war.

The Empire guys just want to put pressure on the Duchy of Belmar through the Elwyn Line.

There is no intention of taking it by force.

In that case, it would be unruly and not in the interests of the Empire.

What they want is a smooth transition of the Elwin Line.

And not because of this war broke out.

That would not be beneficial to either side.

It would be best if this matter could be resolved at the long table of negotiations.

If it really doesn't work.

Well, in other ways.

Force is only the last option.

Not as a last resort.

The Empire is not going to take that approach.

Because that's the case.

Even if the Duchy of Belmar could succumb to the might of the Empire.

Promised to come down.

However, they decided that they would not be reconciled.

Wait until the situation in Huttonmar has stabilized.

They're definitely going to find a way to get it back.

That kind of thing can't be trusted.

At best, it's just a verbal promise.

However, the Empire wants to be a contractual agreement.

Even if they want to break the law, they have to weigh the cost of violating it.

Can you afford it?

Who will believe in verbal promises.

Only those who have signed a contract are the strongest.

So what they're doing now.

It's just to cooperate with the Empire to put pressure on the Duchy of Belmar.

Let those people think that the situation on the Elwin Line is already in a state of uncontrollable state.

Plus the hard-line attitude of the Empire.

Let those men abandon the Elwyn Line here.

Of course, there is also an exchange of interests.

How could those people in the Duchy hand over the Elwyn Line to you.

They're not really stupid.

You want empty gloves white wolf. That's not possible at all.

If a war were to be waged, it would not be beneficial to either side.

It's something that each other knows.

Then the exchange of interests is a must.

The Empire will have to pay some if it wants to get the Elwyn Line.

But if it works, it's all worth it.

Keep the problem at the long table.

Resolve issues through negotiations.

If you can, you might be able to secure some other benefits for the Empire.

At the negotiating table, no one will show their hole cards directly.

Both sides are testing each other.

Then, cede your own interests.

It depends on the bottom line between each other.

and the art of negotiation.

Of course, at that time, it is also necessary to prepare in advance.

After all, what the Duchy guys care about is completely different from the Empire.

After all, in the eyes of those people.

The interests of the state sometimes even have to be subordinated to the interests of the family.

And no matter how you fight at the negotiating table.

They have nothing to do with their own family.

Therefore, private contact is also a must.

Sometimes you just need to give up a small benefit, and you may get unexpected benefits.

After all, those nobles in the upper echelons of the Duchy of Belmar.

They have now become bloodsuckers lying on top of the principality.

More than the problems of the church.

Now the problem is even more serious.

At the very least, the Church of Light is just a burden on resources.

However, those upper nobles have influenced every aspect of the Duchy of Belmar.

They have affected the functioning of the country.

However, it is not yet known.

The daughter of the merchant for that position.

has promised the few rights of the royal family to others.

Now it is better to say that she is the queen of this country than to say that she is just a mascot.

There is only a little bit of power left on the surface.

The rest was almost divided among those upper nobles.

Although this woman also has a little ability.

Over the years, some have been recovered.

However, there is still a large part of the power in the hands of those nobles.

After all, some things are easy to give back when you send them out.

How could they possibly give back the rights in their hands.

Not to mention, just a puppet they propped up.

The daughter of a businessman.

Don't think you're in that position and you're going to be able to point fingers at them.

Over the years, they have had conflicts with the Queen of Skady.

The empire is also in the eye.

There are also quite a few contests.

Some were indirectly involved in the Empire.

After all, there aren't many such opportunities.

Help that side.

All of them are good for the empire.

After all, the woman held the throne of the Duchy of Belmar.

From the perspective of righteousness.

Those rights belonged to her.

All she has to do now is take those powers back.

Be the true queen of the Duchy of Belmar.

Legally, there is no problem.

However, it is actually a very difficult thing.

It's just that this woman's means can really be.

At first, cater to those upper nobles.

Let them think that she has no ambitions.

In fact, it has been winning the hearts of the people.

Woo some small families on the fringes of politics.

Then, wait until the time comes.

The sudden launch caught those guys off guard.

It can be said that the current upper-class nobles of the Duchy of Belmar are basically not interested in this queen.

However, the little nobles were very enthusiastic about this queen.

Especially the new aristocracy of those who were converted into merchants.

It's just that those high-ranking nobles of the Duchy of Belmar don't look down on these people at all.

But when the strength of those emerging nobles broke out later,

Even these upper nobles were afraid.

For the first time, they officially made themselves the Skadi Queen.

Even the empire did not think of it.

She actually relied on those people to gain a foothold in the Duchy of Belmar.

Even those upper nobles felt the pressure.

Even this time Huttonmar's case.

It's all a counterattack from those upper-class nobles.

That's how it should be.

The Empire's intelligence investigation in this area is also not very clear.

The situation in the Duchy of Belmar now looks complicated.

It's actually quite simple.

Those things are all on the surface, and you can see them directly.

As long as you know a little more, you can analyze it directly.

Underneath the real secrets, those that are not known.

But none of this has much to do with the Empire.

Even if the Duchy of Belmar is in turmoil.

The empire doesn't have that kind of strength to eat it in one bite.

The church is having a hard time coping.

It's time.

The Empire is facing a Duchy of Belmar that is united with the outside world.

Who can withstand that kind of pressure?

Not even an empire.

Moreover, there are also Bantu tribes who are causing trouble in the north of the empire.

Without the army's repression, no one knows what would have happened.

Who would dare to gamble?

That's why His Majesty the Emperor will focus on the conduct of the transfer experiment.

After all, that power is just too powerful.

If only it could be mastered.

The strength of the empire should be at least a few steps higher.

Restore the glory of the Peruvian Empire.

It is not difficult to unify the entire continent.

That's why the Alvin Line is so important.

It is an indispensable presence in the plans of the Empire.

If only it could be in the hands of the Empire.

It can save a lot of things.

Some transportation, arrangement or anything will be very convenient.

After all, there are really big restrictions right now.

If you continue to do this, it will be easy for others to find out.

After all, "human experimentation" is also a taboo on the road.

No one dares to take the liberty of studying this.

Even the empire does these things behind their backs.

Don't dare to study openly.

Not to mention others.

Originally, the Helmak Imperial Proving Ground was supposed to be built on the territory of the Empire.

It's just that for some other reason, I couldn't choose the Alwyn Line.

Although it is said that this is the best place to conduct experiments.

But the risk of exposure is also greatly increased.

The empire has invested a lot of manpower, material resources here.

If there were no results at all, someone else would have discovered it.

In that case, the cost is simply too great.

His Majesty the Emperor also has to face a lot of pressure.

That's why they wanted to get the Elwyn Line.

Now, the most important thing in the empire is the Ermak Imperial Proving Ground.

The Empire has poured too much effort into this.

Now, it's up to Hutton Maar to react.

I don't know what will happen to those guys in the parliament of the Duchy of Belmar when they receive that letter from the Empire.

Look at the reaction of the aristocrats.

The Empire didn't expect them to say yes all at once.

These are all things that need to be negotiated to be resolved.

However, it mainly depends on their attitude.

If it's tough.

That means the empire may have to run into some hard persimmons.

Even if you go to negotiate, the conditions are very low, and it will be difficult to achieve your goals.

If it's soft.

Then it means that there is nothing wrong with things.

Or rather, it's not a big problem.

Everybody is easy to talk to.

That's a stepping stone.

Let's take a look at what the winds are like in the Principality of Belmar.

And then make your own decision.

How to negotiate with those people.

In this case, there is always some preparation.

After all, the Elwyn Line is also important to the Duchy of Belmar.

Those guys weren't necessarily going to abandon the Elwin Line for a little benefit, either.

After all, they are one with the Duchy of Belmar.

One wins, one loses.

In the face of these situations, they can still distinguish clearly.

This requires the Empire to put pressure on them.

Let them think that they can only give up there first.

Rather than being forcibly occupied by the Delos Empire, it is better to use it in exchange for benefits.

Just let them think that way, and then things will be easy.

The situation on the Elwin Line was under their control.

The soldiers of the Duchy of Belmar were exactly what they thought.

I didn't dare to argue with them at all.

It is only possible to protest there.

And then there's the kind of accusation that doesn't work at all.

What's the point of saying that.

It's not as real as action.

Anyway, the Imperial soldiers in the Elwyn Line looked down on those principalities.

It's like this, and they can still endure it.

Anyway, this situation is definitely going to happen to them.

I feel sorry for them.

But this kind of thing is just to think about it.

No one dared to say it.

After all, their relationship is not very good now.

Moreover, if you do not act like this.

For them, it was simply effortless to control the Elwin line.

Only a few checkpoints remained in the hands of the Duchy soldiers.

However, they are also involved.

Now all they have to do is eliminate the influence of the Duchy of Belmar in the Elwyn Line.

They have no sense of existence.

Who will know those duchy soldiers when they see it.

Emotionally inclined to the Empire.

That's their plan.
