What Rian told Cassius was about the same as what Reinhardt had been told.

It mainly works in a "cursed" way, with a strong emphasis on the "struggle" aspect, and other minutiae, especially some changes within the empire, are not mentioned much.

One is because of the limited time.

Second, Cassius is, after all, Liber's number three, commander-in-chief of the three armies, and there are some things that are not suitable to tell him.

This does not mean that Lane does not trust Cassius, on the contrary, if he does not trust him, this meeting will not take place.

But trust does not mean unreserved, there are still secrets between close relatives, let alone just brothers?

Cassius obviously knew this too, so Lane said, he listened quietly, did not interrupt the whole time, and even prevented Estelle and Agaté from speaking a few times.

It wasn't until Lane clarified the whole mechanism and closed his mouth that he exhaled softly:

"I see, I know almost the truth about the Imperial Treasure. Indeed, like the 'Treasure of the Void', it is an existence beyond imagination. ”

Because I have experienced it, I know that the more impossible it is, the more likely it is, and I have no doubts about Dawn's statement.

His emotion is also the emotion of everyone, whether it is Laura, Levi and others who have heard it once, or Estelle and her party who have heard it for the first time.

But because Cassius had spoken, they did not say it explicitly.

If it was the kind of occasion in the old VII class, it is estimated that I would have been amazed and amazed a long time ago, and I would have been stunned or whispered at most now.

Ignoring the reactions of the others, Cassius continued: "What do you want me to do? ”

Li En used extraordinary means, and it was impossible to go to the border in the middle of the night to gather just to explain the truth.

It's just the beginning, gaining trust, stating what's at stake, and then it's the most critical, tangible action.

Both the senior brother and the junior brother understand this.

"First of all, I hope that the senior brother will do a good job of prevention. Within Liberal, Liberal's ally Calvard, and even other countries bordering the Empire, were ready to defend themselves against the Empire's attack. ”

Prepared operations and unprepared wars are completely different things. Before the restart, although the empire did not attack suddenly, it did not take much time from the promulgation of the national mobilization law to the official dispatch of troops.

Judging by Lane's return, the countries are definitely not in a state of perfection to face an empire with full firepower. If countries are better prepared, they will be able to further contain the Empire's offensive and mitigate unnecessary losses.

The losses here are for both sides, and the wider the battle line is drawn, it is a huge burden for both the attacker and the defender.

If you can concentrate on a few points, even if you put tens of thousands of troops into each of them, the losses will be much smaller, after all, it is not the era of cold weapons, and no country will be stupid enough to use its flesh and blood to resist artillery fire and wash the ground unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Don't worry about this, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Cassius agreed without any ambiguity, "In your estimation, how long will it take to reach the worst possible outcome?" ”

"Not in the near future, but it won't take too long, three to four months."

Li En didn't talk too much, after all, before the start is before the start again, and after the start over, he will definitely take action, maybe there will be a change.

"I see." Cassius nodded, "The inside story about the Imperial Arcana"

"Senior brother will deal with the situation according to the situation."

Li En dared to say this, and naturally he had his confidence.

This kind of inside story is destined to be impossible to make public, only a few high-level people in various countries will know about it, and it makes little difference whether it is concealed or not, and it is impossible to go to the emperor or Prime Minister Osborne for verification.

If you ask, people won't admit it.

Only by holding back and being careful, preparing in secret can only be in secret, and you can't come openly.

There is no sign of the empire on the surface, and if you suddenly engage in war preparedness with great fanfare, you will leave a tongue on the contrary.

At most, send intelligence officers to investigate.

But how can such a thing be so easy to investigate? The empire is the most aggressive country in the Western Continent, and in recent years, there have been constant wars, and many countries have sent people to the empire.

"I have only one request"

"I won't disclose the source, I just said that I got it through special channels."

Talking to smart people is peace of mind, and tonight's meeting speaks volumes.

Cassius thought for a moment and said, "Have you told Prince Oliebat about these things?" ”

"Not yet, not at the right time." Rien shook his head.

Olibat can also be trusted, but he has been severely suppressed by Osborne recently, and he is very unwilling, and he is also staring at all aspects closely, and Lane does not dare to startle the snake.

"Find an opportunity as soon as possible, if the countries are targeted, he will be the first to be suspected."

"Understood."

As soon as Rie's mind turned, he knew what Cassius meant.

Prince Olibart has traveled extensively, has good relations with dignitaries from all over the world, and has always been a clear opponent of the prime minister and the war. No one would be surprised that he did such a thing.

"Is there anything else you want me to do?" Cassius asked again.

Informing the nations that secretly preparing is not a requirement at all, but rather a favor from Dawn.

"Yes, I hope to get advice from my senior brother to see if there is anything worth starting with, and I can completely solve the curse with the least loss."

This is the main purpose of Lane's trip.

The curse of the Empire is just too disgusting. He thought about it for three weeks, but the progress was very limited, and it was all minutiae, and the trunk barely moved.

It's not that Lane isn't working hard enough and isn't smart enough.

The reincarnation of Dlaikels, the talented Osborne who has been planning for more than ten years is just the end before the restart, let alone Rien?

In desperation, he could only turn to Cassius, Osborne's highest-rated opponent, for help.

Cassius lived up to Lien's expectations, although the beginning was

"It's such a difficult question, and you think too highly of my senior brother and me."

But next

"I didn't expect a solution, but there was a little bit of thought for the smallest loss.

The question is how to define this 'spirit of struggle', whether it is the panic of war, or the real need for bloodshed, or whatever.

As long as not all conditions have to be met, there are loopholes that can be exploited. Based on Liber's experience, I personally don't think the so-called mechanism can be flawless.

The ancestor of the Liber royal family, the Otera clan, did not think about breaking the seal when they sealed the 'Empty Treasure', but it was finally unlocked.

In addition to this, you can also consider borrowing the power of other Arcana. You just said that the 'Phantom Flame Project' is to use Cross Bell's 'Phantom' to stir up the 'Flame' of the Empire, and since 'Phantom' can stir up 'Flame', other Arcana may also be able to do it, although I think this hope is very slim, but it is also a direction that can be tried.

That's all I can think of for the time being, and if there is more information, I might have other ideas. But since you didn't say it, it means that it's not something I should know. ”

"Thank you, senior brother, for your understanding."

Lane scratched his cheeks, and the two sides were tacit.

"How can I say it, I am worthy of being a rare strategist, and I have really benefited a lot."

"It's good to have a catch, and if I think of something else, I'll find a way to inform you."

Cassius smiled.

There must be a coming and going, unilateral coming or going, and it is destined not to last.

"Thank you, brother."

"I remember you saying that there were two purposes, and the other was"

"It's my personal matter, I have encountered some confusion in the knife technique, and I hope that the senior brother will not hesitate to give advice."
