"That's right...... There's a lot going on in Crossbell, too. Oliveat's voice came from the other end of the communicator, "Order...... I didn't expect to hear this name again after so many years...... What is even more unimaginable is that the "Angel of Annihilation" is actually involved in it in this way? ”

"yes...... Thankfully, it's all settled. However, the Order is just a pawn, and there are other people behind it...... I don't know what they are trying to, but at the moment there is no sign of an association or a church involvement. ”

"That's what you say...... However, my intelligence sources here indicate that the "Society" has already moved in the direction of Crossbell...... If nothing else, the famous "Arian Heard of Steel" has been waiting in the Crossbell area for a long time. ”

Levi also mentioned this...... However, according to him, the "Holy Maiden of Steel" was only staying for personal reasons. Helliga remembered what Levi had said, "It doesn't necessarily mean the act of 'association', does it?" ”

"Whether it's or not, it's none of our business...... Listen to you, I don't plan to continue to investigate this matter. "After all, it's a matter of their locals...... And we have to worry about something even more. ”

"Speaking of which, how is the domestic situation now? Last time, I remember you vaguely mentioned that the Prime Minister has a lot of doubts about the flow of funds of the "Four Famous Families", and even has the intention of finding His Majesty the Emperor to find out in person. ”

"Huh...... I have heard some words from His Excellency Regnitz, and I am afraid that this is just empty pressure from the Prime Minister. Olibat's sneer was heard, "The first branch of the Lane Forte Society has always been controlled by the aristocratic faction, and it seems that the nobles have been coming and going with them a little too much lately...... In addition, the confidencular armies of the major states have already begun to implement the latest model of the heavy chariot "No. 18", and I think this is exactly what the Prime Minister is worried about. ”

"The signal is obvious enough...... Then there was only one fuse left. "It must be expensive to maintain such a large armament, and there is absolutely no need for a few great nobles to do so—the signal is already clear, the contradictions between the reformers and the traditional aristocracy have reached the point of irreconcilability, and that anything that happens next could be the fuse that ignites the whole powder keg," civil war...... If it's not handled well, I'm afraid in a few months—"

"I don't have to say it in an uncertain tone like that...... It's almost a sure thing. Olibat said in a gloomy tone, "If you're unlucky, it's entirely possible that a full-scale war will break out within a few months...... The situation in the country is very grim now, and if either side had the idea of going to war, it would have been able to create the "Hamel Massacre" ten years ago to launch a so-called "just war" that was not necessary...... Now if you want to ignite a country with a strong smell of gunpowder, you don't need to do anything at all. ”

"I see...... Since you've said so, it seems that Ling really helped me a lot today. "Olibat has always been dashing on the surface, but few people know that he himself is the record holder for the highest test score in the history of the Tolz Non-commissioned Officer Academy - a true university tyrant. Therefore, his judgment of the political situation is very valuable. Olibart said so, and there was no reason for Heliga to take it seriously.

"Hehe, this is the so-called 'more help for those who have attained the Dao'." Olibart chuckled, "You extra help...... In exchange, this is the result. It's not just the 30 million Mira who hit the right one...... Importantly, Rei herself is a very good intelligence expert. That's right...... Speaking of which, about the protection of your hometown that you are planning...... I have one more thing I want to ask you. ”

"What's the matter?" Heliga asked.

"Whether it's the aristocracy or the reformers, if they want to start a civil war first, then the value of royalty is crucial." After all, the empire is a political system in which the royal family occupies the apex of public opinion, and Prime Minister Osborne has a good eye for the sky, and he can only act with the permission of the emperor himself; If the aristocratic class wants to overthrow the prime minister and restore the situation of the aristocracy dominating the world in the empire, it is impossible to leave the royal family alone. Therefore, whoever received the "support" of the royal family in the civil war - not only the person himself standing behind them - occupies the highest point of public opinion.

"I know...... Wait, you don't want me to protect your royal family. Heliga understood what Olibart meant.

"To be precise...... I only hope you'll protect Elphine. Olivebat's voice seemed a little hesitant and puzzled, "Father, he'...... It seems that there are plans in place for the civil war that will ensue, and when I hint to him to pay more attention to the relevant issues, he tells me that he has been prepared......"

"Since Your Majesty himself has confidence, then I will not offend him." The Emperor himself has always belonged to the hidden type, which his own father also said, so his statement naturally has his own reasoning, and if possible, Heliga thinks it is better not to ruin his plan casually, "So...... His Highness Elphine's Safety ......"

She has always been studying at the Santa Astraya Girls' College...... Until the summer vacation. If there is a civil war in the empire, the imperial capital will inevitably be the number one place to be besieged and blocked...... I hope you'll find a way to get there and protect Elfin...... If necessary, take her back to your hometown. ”

"Not a wise choice." Heliga said in a deep voice, "Duke Albariana has a lot of appetite...... If you let him know that there's a member of the royal family around him—"

"I believe in you." Oribat put it succinctly, "Just the Duke of Albarrea...... It won't be your opponent. He's just a grumpy incompetent fool, and his measurements aren't worth the strength of the Albare family. Olibat scoffed, "But his eldest son, Jusses Albarea, is a man of great power, so you should be careful if you meet him." ”

“…… All right. If I had been more secretive, the Duke of Albarea might not have been able to touch His Highness's location. Also, speaking of the Albare family. Helriga suddenly remembered something, "What kind of 'special class' you told me before...... Could it be that the second son of the duke's family is also in that class? ”

"That's right...... I'm about to tell you about the things in this class. Olibat's voice fluctuated, as if waiting for Heliga to ask these questions.
