"Have you started?" When a loud bang broke the calm of the evening, the smoke of the battle filled the entire perimeter of the fortress of Orolos in an instant. Even the melon-eating masses who don't know the truth should not be difficult to guess what is happening.

Of course, before the battle, the 4th Mecha Division and the 5th Mecha Division evacuated the surrounding area early to ensure that there would be no ordinary residents near the places affected by the war, so there would be no melon-eating masses or the like. Although Helliga felt that it was just something to avoid intelligence leaks.

However, having said that, although their side was fully aware of the operation, when the war really began, everyone still felt a sense of powerlessness - especially for these young people who had already seen the capabilities of modern weapons.

Located on a high ground in the Ololos Gorge, with a great view of everything in front of you, most of the members of Team VII are gathered here at this moment. Naturally, Heiliga would not hide such large-scale actions and plans from them, so they were aware of these arrangements early on, and after careful consideration, accepted their current mission.

Capture mechs who have escaped from the battle - this is authorized by Jusis as the Duke's agent.

and, to protect Her Royal Highness the Empress Elfin.

That's why they're going to be in this place and waiting for the moment when they're on the scene. The Grey Rider and a guided airship handed over by the regular army were safely parked there, ready to be called at any moment's notice. The former was meant to be used against the scattered mechs that had escaped, while the latter was to wait for a specific moment to give the royal family a declaration in the air, starting with a common signal from the likes of Craig and Helliga.

"I'm really bothering you." Jusses bowed down to the crowd with sincere thanks—the problem of Ballahat had already been laid out by him, so he was persuaded by Dawn to come to this high ground and act as a member of Class VII for the time being. Of course, his ostensible rhetoric was not to be disrespectful to Her Royal Highness, and Her Highness Elfin was waiting for the start of the operation accompanied by many people.

"Where...... It's better to say that it should be because of my willfulness that everyone has to change their plans temporarily to come and accompany me to mess around. Elfin hurriedly waved his hand—and it was, and it was because Oliebat's side approved of this action that Heiliga changed his plan on the spur of the day and gave them this superfluous so-called task. The original purpose was only to intercept those mecha soldiers, and Li En and the others naturally agreed-but they had to appear at an absolutely opportune time.

"Where...... Her Royal Highness the Princess's guiding magic is also a must. Rien said, not flattery, but a sincere sigh - they hadn't given Helliga to Elphin at the time, and said that it was the Transforming Wand from Olibat's hand, and only Elliot and Emma, two masters who also used the wand, saw that it was unusual. And on the way here, Elphine also deliberately used everyone as a cover for her to practice with this staff, and the speed and power of her magic drive surprised everyone secretly.

"After all, His Highness Olibat is also a master of channeling magic." Jusis nodded as a matter of course, "Thank you for taking care of you, Your Royal Highness - when this incident is over, I will definitely take you to the Duke's city hall as soon as possible and treat you well." ”

"Huh...... That matter can be left in a hurry. Elfin chuckled, then his expression became bitter again, "Mr. Jusse...... Although this may seem inappropriate for me as a junior, I still feel that the Duke's family should deal with the aftermath of the Keldik incident first...... As for myself, to be honest, there's really no need to be too kind and care...... As a member of the royal family, I have evaded too much responsibility in this war......"

"I'm also working on that...... And it's doing it as the number one thing. Speaking of this, Jusis was naturally ashamed, "I just went to the hospital yesterday to see Otto's surgery...... Several seriously injured patients, including the chief manager, appear to be out of danger at present. Of course, the cost of treatment is in the Duke's account. ”

"Is that so...... Don't blame yourself too much, the responsibility for this matter can't be blamed on your head. Laura said earnestly - it had always been her characteristic to be on a case-by-case basis, and when she said that, it meant that she really thought so, and not that she was deliberately saying something that made Jus feel better. Therefore, after listening to Laura's words, Jussi's mood calmed down a little.

"Speaking of which, your father gave you a lot of power?" Macchias on the side asked, "You can also use the duke's account ......?"

"Of course, I have to report it." Jusis said angrily and amusedly, "Your focus is really peculiar...... But of course, I naturally kept this account under wrap and didn't report it. Hailiga said that he could use the loophole in the monthly financial report to confuse the past, and I don't really understand how to do it. ”

"It should be the time difference between the two bills, and disguise that part of the expenditure. As for the loss of future financial reporting, it is offset by a small amount of amortization......" Emma recalled some of the books she had read on the principles of economics, "but it seems illegal in the Empire." ”

"yes...... Violation of the Crutchen Local Governance Act. Jusis muttered to himself, "Qualified to sanction those who do this...... Only the duke himself. ”

As soon as Jusses's words came out, everyone immediately couldn't help laughing - Heliga really thoroughly understood the relevant laws of the empire, and made Jusses also a villain who used the power in his hands to do whatever he wanted.

"Forget it, Mr. Jusis is also forced to do this for the sake of something bigger." Elfin winked mischievously, "But what we're going to face now seems to be more important than these things in the future......"

"Yes...... "Sword Emperor" and him, against the strongest executor of "Association". If you have to say it, I'm afraid it ......" Li En didn't have a bottom in his heart - although these two people were very strong, the one opposite seemed to be quite jealous of Levi, and they were naturally unmatched. In fact, the actions of Hyliga and Levy are also related to the success or failure of the entire operation.

And just as they were watching everything in the distance from afar, the two people they were worried about had already slipped into the interior of the Orolos fortress easily amid the sound of artillery fire.
