"It's a good plan...... Only, did Lieutenant General Sykes agree? The 3rd Mecha Division acts as a frontal pinch, and we act as the main force attacking the surveillance towers or something......"

Heiliga's idea was simple: to convince Lieutenant General Sykes to join his 3rd Mech Division in the fight to recapture the Surveillance Tower. The mechdivision's chariot unit is enough to contain the defenses of the soldiers on the perimeter of the surveillance tower, while the elite assault force of students and powerful helpers needs to rely on this time to enter the surveillance tower and find out the source of interference - although according to the results of Gunn's and Ling's independent calculations, this position should be at the top of the tower.

However, while this makes the plan foolproof—but they are also worried about it, will Lieutenant General Sykes agree to such a somewhat messy idea?

In addition, does such a move violate their so-called "neutral" position?

When Rien brought these two questions to Helriga, he was immediately rewarded with a slap in the face.

"Neutrality, you big-headed ghost - our current position is clearly biased towards the regular army, isn't it? What happened in Kruchen before, even if we said that it was just an internal problem of the Duke's family, but in the battle against the fortress of Orolos, we did help the regular army. In addition, all of our actions up to now have been linked to the regular army, not to the confederate army - do you understand that? ”

"But ......"

"There is no but—this kind of behavior, in the eyes of the onlooker, is acting in favor of the regular army. Besides, if you think about it, although the aristocratic coalition is powerful, they themselves are unreasonable—they use overwhelming false propaganda to blind the people, and make people believe that the current situation in the empire is that His Majesty allowed them to come out and eradicate the cancer within the empire, but in fact we all know the truth—they killed the prime minister with the help of terrorists, and then when the reformers panicked, they burst out with the power that had been withheld for many years, and the driver sent troops to occupy a vast area of the empire, which is undoubtedly treason. At least for Kane. ”

However, the other four nobles were also involved in this matter. If this is the case, wouldn't the four famous families be implicated? Therefore, they are bound to react violently to this. "So I still don't understand why Duke Kane gave up Duke El Barea so easily, which is a quarter of the empire's territory." ”

"That's because, although they formed an alliance for a short time, the four great nobles did not work together. They are not fighting for the same ideal, but simply trying to achieve some of their common interests by joining forces to wage a civil war. "Needless to say, what he is doing now is basically using the emperor as a handle, and treating himself as the actual person in power, and if the civil war ends with his complete victory, then he is likely to completely dethrone the emperor, or simply find an excuse to replace him - in that case, the empire will return to the dark ages of hundreds of years ago, ruled by pedantic aristocracy, and the reforms and progress of these years will be run over by the wheels of history again with this incident." ”

"We can't let that happen anyway." Elliot understood the gravity.

"As for the Duke of Elbarian...... I don't think he has as much ambition as Lord Kane. But what about him, he is a typical guy who can't sit still, and he doesn't judge his ability correctly. Therefore, he actually wants to expand the influence of the Elbarian family in the empire through the civil war, and strive to use this as an opportunity to compete for more voices after the empire returns to the old system. The problem is that he miscalculated the situation in Kruchen during the civil war, as well as the strength of the Garelian fortress and the two generals, which led to a series of events that followed - fortunately, Jusis intervened in time to eliminate the worst possible effects, and the Elbare family also took the opportunity to eradicate the corruption that currently exists in Kruchen. In terms of His Majesty's character, it should not be pursued further, at least Jussi's current position will be preserved - the Elbaria family will be greatly weakened, but it will also eliminate tumors and moths because of this, and maintain the healthiest and refreshing form, which is not a good thing from another point of view. ”

"yes...... It's painful, but it's also a necessary change. Lane muttered to himself.

"As for the other two, that's the key to the civil war. Their attitude can be said to directly determine the direction of the civil war, and it can also determine the size of the losses that the empire will suffer as a result. The importance of the state of Nautia to the empire is self-evident, so His Majesty has always chosen the loyal Marquis of Rogner as the guardian of the state. However, such a family, the Marquis of Rogner, who has always been loyal to the emperor, also joined the treason war of Duke Kane, do you think it is possible? ”

"That's what you say...... Marquis Rogner's reasons for joining the war were somewhat strange. He didn't want to usurp power, he didn't want to expand his influence, and he happened to be the most loyal to the royal family...... So why? Emma frowned—she had discovered the logical fallacy in this.

"There are two possible scenarios. The first is that the Marquis de Rogner was not actually as loyal as he seemed, but in fact a deeply hidden thief - but this assumption is not supported by any evidence, so there is no point in discussing it here. Then, another possibility is that in the announcement before the war, in the process of persuading the Marquis of Rogner to participate in the war, the Duke of Kane falsely concealed part of the news, and his own ambitions, so that the Marquis of Rogner was unprepared, or believed the lies in his words; - This led to his rebellion. ”

"In other words—it was Duke Kane who lied to the Marquis of Rogner!" Gaius understood what Heliga meant, "In that case, we just need to find the Marquis of Rogner and explain to him—"

"How can this be explained?" Tovar said in a deep voice, "Since Lord Kane has such a bold plan, he must have been fully prepared for such excuses and claims. One of the reasons that convinced the Marquis of Rogner was probably the head of the reformers, the assassinated Prime Minister Osborne, who had always been considered by the nobles to be a nullification of the Emperor's power, the de facto ruler. If the Marquis of Rogner had been the one who had been loyal to the royal family, and had believed the words of the Duke of Kane in this case, he would have joined in on similar grounds. ”

"Yes...... And the feud between Duke Kane and Prime Minister Osborne is no secret. Therefore, he must have been well prepared to use this to persuade the Marquis of Rogner to join him. He must have been fully prepared for any doubts that might arise - in this case, a few of your students, guerrillas, and officers of the regular army suddenly appeared before him and told him that the purpose of the war was actually to the object of his allegiance, that is, to replace His Majesty the Emperor, and he would not believe it in any way. ”

"Yes...... Gaius calmed down, "the Marquis of Rogner has never met us, and he will certainly not believe what we say. ”

"As for the last one, the Marquis of Haines - he is actually the most difficult of the four great families to handle. Since the beginning of the civil war, he has concentrated his forces and resources entirely on his own territory, encircling and suppressing the regular army there, but never going half a step out. I think he's the shrewdest of guys, because he's waiting—waiting to see if the signs of war will change over time. If the reformers can turn the tables and His Majesty the Emperor regains power, then he can use this as an excuse to fight for a lot of room for justification, and if the overall situation of the aristocratic alliance has been decided, then his army will be able to seize a lot of military merits even if it is dispatched a little later. It's called a low-risk investment – it's a sure bet. In other words, however, it meant that he was the best to deal with—he had no ambitions, and he would not be easily incited by hatred against the reformers, and therefore would not use his own army casually. As long as it was clear to him that the impregnability of the alliance of nobles was no longer strong, he would easily fall to the other side - so while Jean was not easy to deal with, he didn't have to worry too much. ”

"It seems that you have already done a good understanding of the leaders of these four nobles." Claire pondered, "Did you have a plan ...... from the beginning?" ”

"Pretty much. There were some things that I figured out with Oliebart, and some things that were originally only at the stage of conjecture, but slowly figured it out after the start of the civil war. Hyliga didn't deny it, nor did he deny that he wanted to be content with more than just a corner of the country in the civil war, "I don't know if it was a strategic mistake on the part of Duke Kane, or something else - he didn't take His Highness Elphine with him, and he didn't mean to search for it on a large scale after that, but it's so stupid." ”

"What does this have to do with Her Royal Highness...... Wait, ......! Dawn understood what Heliga meant—just now, he had persuaded Gaius not to casually find the Marquis of Rogner, who would not believe their accusations against Duke Caine at all. However, if it is the accusation of Her Royal Highness, it is completely different.

The existence of Elphin is the key to upsetting this balance. If the Marquis of Rogner himself was deceived by the Duke of Kane, then Elfin's words would definitely shake him, and if he didn't let him help, at least he would be able to remain neutral and no longer interfere in matters related to the civil war. And if he also happens to be a careerist, but has been disguised by loyalty to the royal family, then Elfin's statement can also be the key to triggering the war in Notia. At that time, Heliga wouldn't mind taking part in the battle himself and showing them the power of the strongest human in the world - anyway, as long as he didn't touch the bottom line he had agreed with the association, then everything would be fine.

If all goes well, then order will return to order in the regions of Kruchen and Notia. What's more, the heavy industry base of Notia can well compensate for the losses of the regular army in the eastern part of the empire during this time. Heliga can liquidate the nobles of Kruchen in Ballihatt while preparing for the next step - similarly, it can also serve as a warning to the Marquis of Haines in Sasharante, which will inevitably affect the relationship between the two remaining leaders of the noble alliance. That's what Heliga had planned from the beginning - in fact, if Duke Kane knew anything about Elfin's importance, he should have tried to find it at all costs. However, he didn't know about the bad relationship with the Elbarians, and the latter's behavior of wanting to steal credit happened to help Heliga's side to protect the intelligence, which can be said to be a mistake. In addition, Heliga cleverly avoided the early days when the war had just begun, and the aristocratic alliance had the greatest advantage, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger in his hometown, and only made a move at the moment when the balance of Krutchen was broken by the stupidity of the Duke of Elbardia, and then began to pout the next step of the plan against Notia, so as to take advantage of the opportunity of the aristocratic alliance to react before the opportunity to take half of the country.

Of course, if the association is really a loyal ally as Kane imagined, this plan will still encounter many difficulties. But Heliga happens to be one of the people who knows the true purpose of the association - the association is only interested in the Supreme Treasure, and all the plans revolve around the Supreme Treasure itself, so naturally it is impossible to have any position on the political situation within the empire, and the assistance to the Duke of Kane is only one part of their plan. Heliga had already known this through his contacts with the Society during his time at Liber, and so he skillfully used his might as a threat to the Society's potentially destructive plan, and succeeded in winning the Society's cooperation with his plan—the straw that broke the camel's back.

"All in all, that's pretty much the way it is – once that's done, Notia shouldn't be a threat anymore. The seemingly united alliance of the nobles is nothing more than a plate of loose sand - all I have to do is tear away that glamorous disguise. Helriga smiled confidently, "How's it going?" Are you interested in joining in? If you don't want to, then I'll find a solution for myself. But if you think what I just said makes sense...... This is the first and last, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. ”
