"Oh, it's Lord Amman."

Some time later, in the courtyard of the royal palace, next to another small palace standing next to the pond, the figure belonging to the old man of Amman with his hands behind his back slowly appeared between the light and shadow of the two royal guards leading the way, and the eyes of several other imperial nobles who were already sitting here met each other: "Why is it so slow? Is it in which little girl's body one after the other? ”

"What words! Do I still have that much energy on this old bone? Amman smiled and pushed the nobleman's eyes away from his face: "It's you, Rogner—I heard that you have married a new wife, and you are still a famous beauty in the Klerberg district, is there such a thing?" ”

"As the current president of the Adventurers' Association, his nose is much more well-informed than before! We thought you'd be hanging out with those adventurers for a long time, and the news would be as closed as the untouchables who didn't know anything. ”

"Of course, my news is still as closed as before, because my news was originally given by adventurers, and in order to manage the poor territory of the Antai family, I have to deal with those adventurers every day......"

"Alright, quiet."

A heavy reminder accompanied by a slow applause sounded in the center of this small hall, suppressing all the momentum that the two people who were talking about were just about to rise, and the prime minister Calderra, who was sitting at the top of this row, then also suppressed his displeased eyes, and turned to the emperor who was sitting in the center of the hall and bowed his head deeply: "Your Majesty, you can start." ”

"The main purpose of this gathering is to talk about what happened in the castle of Thebilisi." Raising his hand slightly, the Emperor of the Empire, Drenier Frey Cadreft, glanced with satisfaction at the surroundings of the palace hall that was gradually becoming quieter: "If you have any good opinions and suggestions, please speak freely." ”

"General Bernard has led his troops to the battle, and the troops in various regions have also made corresponding coordinated actions." Field Marshal Red, who sat at the head of the other row, then said in a deep voice: "Whatever the Restorationists want, we can suppress it at once. ”

"Repression? Something like this happened in the Citadel of Thebilisi, and the incompetence of your military has long been revealed. Another Imperial nobleman sitting opposite immediately let out an unceremonious mocking voice: "Even the strongest fortress in the hinterland of the empire can be lost, what else can you not lose?" ”

"Presumptuous! You-"

"Stop, stop, we're not here to tell who is at fault."

A dull voice like rolling thunder then appeared in the sky above the palace, suddenly suppressing the voice that Marshal Red was about to explode just now, and His Majesty the Emperor, who was looking down on the ministers present with the sound of rolling thunder, then also put away the momentum that emerged from his body, and the peaceful demeanor that had originally appeared once in front of Duan Qing had been replaced by the emperor's majesty early at this time: "That's what we should talk about until the matter is over, not when we urgently need to solve the problem now-Triric, what do you think?" ”

"The main responsibility of the Date family is to distribute and communicate in the middle, and there is not much time to be responsible for specific tasks." The head of the Date family, who was named, smiled faintly, and then shook his head slightly with an apologetic look: "When you encounter such a thing, it's better not to put forward any opinions at will." ”

"If the Restorationists had used infiltration and pre-infiltration to enter the castle, there would have been some anomalies with the supplies and transport troops that had been sent to the vicinity of the castle." Another Imperial nobleman sitting next to Triric questioned, "Even if you want to escape the mistakes you have made, don't you have anything to say about it?" ”

"Maybe we were aware of it, but the person who found it should be my second son, Volavos, who is about to become Minister of Transport." Tririk closed his eyes with a heavy face: "And he is now guilty, and he is still in the prison of the Ministry of Law, and I am only attending the meeting on behalf of me this time, so I don't know the specific situation at all." ”

"You're shirking your responsibilities!" The Imperial nobleman who had questioned earlier slapped his chair and stood up from the spot: "I see that your Date family has no intention of dealing with the Restorers at all!" Your whole family is the one they have arranged between us! ”

“…… I don't bother to answer your pointless accusations, Lord Wallas, even if my son is really guilty, this charge should not be extended to the entire Date family. ”

"But if your logistics are in trouble, our follow-up battle plan must take into account your Date family's omissions, and if possible, we can even use this to do the opposite......"

"Using transport troops? You're not kidding, are you? Their combat level is not a little worse than that of the Empire's orthodox forces, and they also have to consider the risk of being plotted by the Restorationists! ”

“…… Call. ”

Looking at the palace that was gradually chaotic again, Dreyner, who was sitting in the center, stroked his forehead and let out a long sigh, and the idea of continuing to ask was then retracted along with the fall of his eyes, and landed beside the prime minister beside him with a stiff face: "Yu finally understood, finally understood what the reason for your insistence on holding this meeting was. ”

"The situation in the Empire is now quite unacceptably severe, but it seems that these ministers are not nervous enough at the moment." The prime minister, who held his hands together, bowed down respectfully: "And...... Due to their respective constraints, they still have various doubts about how to resolve the crisis of the castle of Tbilisi. ”

"And what do you recommend, Prime Minister?"

"If everyone is not willing to contribute, then let everyone contribute together."

Raising his head slightly, Prime Minister Caldera's eyes slowly revealed from between the pale hair: "It is impossible for the Restorationists to send their main forces to blatantly attack the Empire, and this time the battle is also dominated by greedy adventurers, as long as our various families and forces make a contribution, wouldn't it be easy to deal with these miscellaneous fish that can't be put on the table?" ”

"The Prime Minister's words seem to make a lot of sense."

Nodding his head, Drenier, whose eyes flashed with a glint in his eyes, leaned his majestic back back back into his seat: "Then ......"

"Who would want to do their part in dealing with the crisis in the castle of Thebilisi?"

In the echo of rolling thunder, he raised his voice again, and then suppressed the voices of the hall that were about to quarrel louder and louder, and looked around at the imperial nobles who shrunk their necks: "What Yu needs now is not mutual accusations and attacks, what Yu needs now is the magnanimity of what you can do for the empire." ”

"Money, material resources, even the combat power of the family, and yourselves - since you look down on each other's abilities and glory so much, then show a little real ability to prove it." His solemn gaze kept sweeping back and forth between the quiet figures: "Red, you speak first. ”

"General Bernard and the entire Goshawk Army are already our sincerity, Your Majesty." The old marshal replied without humility or arrogance: "The military direction of the empire has come to share the glory and disgrace of the empire, and the danger and lost glory of General Steele...... We will be able to take him back with our own hands. ”

"We will ensure the safety of logistics transportation and combat supplies." Looking at His Majesty the Emperor's then turned his eyes, Tririk, the head of the Date family, then responded in a low voice: "That's all the Date family can do at the moment, more actions will only lose the trust of other colleagues, and we can't do more until Volavos's charges are clarified." ”

"Hey, what is this? We, the Wallas family, are willing to provide five hundred elite generals as a reinforcement force! There are also twenty magic scrolls above level 5! ”

"Twenty magic scrolls can also be said? We, the Quersor, are willing to provide twenty of the finest mages who will surely burn those who claim to be descendants of the Magic Empire to ashes! ”

"Twenty magicians? You're not kidding, are you? Even the Minarenko family, which is mainly a nurturing mage, can't get so many mages to send out support right now! ”

"Friedman."

Interrupting another dispute that was about to start in a deep voice, the emperor sitting above gave his scrutinizing gaze to a certain middle-aged nobleman who was speechless in the seat behind his right: "What about your opinion?" ”

"The Clavasin family will spare no effort to support the money needed for this fight." Friedman, who was named, arched his hands in a low voice: "As the Minister of Trade, we will also do our best to maintain the stability of trade in the surrounding areas and the safety of the lives of those imperial merchants. ”

"Being able to do what you do is the most powerful contribution to the empire." Without waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak, Marshal Red, who was sitting at the top, nodded approvingly: "What about you, Field?" As Chancellor of the Exchequer, you deserve to give more money for our war, right? ”

"My family is rich except for being rich, I will not deny this." Unlike the other nobles in attendance, the fat man mentioned by Marshal Red kept his face black throughout: "But our family just experienced a disaster last night, and we are still tracking down the murderer who burned our family property." ”

"The crisis in the castle of Thebilisi is less important than a burned-down tavern owned by your family—is that what you're talking about?"

"Hmph, don't taunt me with one, Lord Friedman, even if we only take a fraction of the repair of the Golden Rose, it should be much more than the money you took out."

"Oh? Then I'll wait and see, I hope that you and your family, which has always been called Iron Rooster, can really take out this so-called 'fraction'. ”

"Don't worry, I'll take it out, provided we find out the mastermind of this arson, and that the mastermind is not you."

"Susas, the statistics of the various nobles' contributions and the dispatch of fighters will be handed over to you."

In the midst of the mutual accusations and cynicism between several nobles in the audience, the Emperor who pinched his forehead whispered to a black-clothed nobleman standing quietly in the corner on his left: "Go and put these collected ragtag troops in order, and by the way, teach them the situation of the castle they are about to face." ”

"The inner fort of the castle of Thebilisi is safe at the moment, and it should last for a month." The man called Susas lowered his head when he heard this: "But in order to arouse the enthusiasm of these nobles, I will hand over the most dangerous information to them." ”

"The rest of the things can probably only be discussed after this battle." Looking at the messy aristocratic vegetable market in front of him, the emperor of the empire waved his hand casually: "And even if all these nobles present nodded and agreed to the prime minister's proposal, I am afraid that the combat power used to deal with those adventurers is still not enough, since this is the case......"

"Amman, I'll leave this matter to you."

He looked at the president of the Adventurer's Guild, who was sitting on the outermost side because he had arrived at this place late, and the two metal balls he had been playing with in his hand, and two gleams flashed in his eyes again: "After all—"

"Matters between adventurers can only be resolved by adventurers."

********************************

"Little Lund Hill, Little Lund Hill...... Wow, it's so far away, I'm afraid it will take two days just to travel, will we be treated as wanted criminals who have absconded in fear of crime? ”

"So I said at the beginning, it's better for us to choose those tasks in the city to make money, without going far and without being suspected."

"What about this mission? The noble maid recruitment task, the commission is to go to the noble mansion to temporarily act as a maid to wash and clean and cook, and it only takes three days to earn a large bounty......"

"If you want to go, I will not go! And pay attention to who the client is written below, it is the Lord Chuckner, the nobleman who has been trying to kill us before! ”

At the same moment, in the hall of the Adventurer's Guild in the Imperial Capital Redkar, the figures belonging to Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Ice were constantly hovering around the bulletin board at this time, passing this rare leisure time by selecting tasks: "This is not good, that is not good, the empire is so big, are there not two tasks that we can do?" ”

"Don't worry, according to what I know about the empire before, the mission update frequency in this place is very fast."

Facing the appearance of the gray-robed magician holding his arms and shaking his head and sighing, Xue Lingphantom Bing, who was waiting beside him, smiled indifferently: "The adventurer's association, which has a lot of traffic, the bulletin board is generally in a state of looting all year round, and the idle situation in front of me is mostly caused by some accidents happening. ”

"That's not what you're talking about, is it?" So Duan Qing squinted his eyes and gestured outward: "That's it...... Well? ”

His voice stopped for a moment, accompanied by a figure belonging to the staff of the Adventurer's Association gradually separated the movements of Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, ignoring these two people, he then pasted a big notice of his own on the bulletin board covered with all kinds of small notes, and then turned his head and left with an arrogant expression: "The empire is about to launch a rescue operation against the castle of Thebilisi, and now it is beginning to recruit adventurers who are willing to accompany it." ”

"The reward is rich, please sign up."
