Chapter Eighty-Four: Planning
When the princess's coat of arms was breached, and the squadron leader's last frenzied behavior was stopped by Fei, who fell from the sky, the defeat of the intelligence department was decided. Knowing that the assault group had successfully completed its mission, the guards and guerrillas outside also accelerated the speed of the clearance. And the members of the intelligence force, who learned that the defeat was decided, also had no intention of fighting and retreated one after another. In addition, Olivier and Sherazad, who didn't know where to come to help, also came to the palace to meet everyone.
"I really...... I'm so sorry. In the conference room of Abel's palace, Yulia choked up with excitement, "Because of me, I have made everyone suffer so much......
"You are not allowed to say that." Cloth, or rather, Clothya interrupted Yulia's confession, she knew too well how responsible this big sister who had almost watched her grow up, but it was precisely because of this that the princess felt distressed and moved, "You can come and save me...... I'm too late to be grateful. β
"Your Highness......"
"If you're talking about the old days, let's talk about it later, right?" Cruz asked gently. Knowing that this was not the time to reminisce and sensationalize, Yulia wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded, "The secret forces here in the palace have basically been subdued by us. But there should still be a considerable number of remnants in Grantell. And most of the kingdom army ...... It is still under the control of the Ministry of Intelligence. β
"Worst of all, there is a good chance that they will attack here in the name of suppressing the rebels." Acting privately, Sherazad, who had received a lot of information from all over the world, had a solemn face, "At least let Princess Kolotia go to a safe place to hide first." β
"How about seeking protection from the embassy of the Empire or the Republic, if you can?" Olivier made a suggestion, "There is extraterritorial protection in the embassy...... I don't think the enemy will act rashly. β
"Well, it can be considered that in the long run, the empire with poor relations with Liber may not help, but the Republic is an exception. The spy airship captured in the operation just now should be enough as a tool for escape, although it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but it can still delay for some time. β
"That's right...... There is only one choice to flee......" Yulia's expression was gloomy, as the captain of the personal guard, she only hated herself for not being strong enough to protect the princess in this dire situation.
"Listen to me." There was a certain enthusiasm in Kloss's calm voice, and the contagious force drew everyone's attention to her. Kloss took a deep breath and said bravely, "In this situation, can I entrust a mission to the Guerrilla Association through you?" β
ββ¦β¦ The hostage rescue mission has been completed, so it should be possible to accept other commissions. Joshua said calmly, then added, "Of course, it depends on the content of the commission. β
"If you could...... Please accept my unreasonable request. Kross stood up, "Can you help me liberate the royal city and rescue Your Majesty?" β
"To be honest, I knew it was going to be like this." Kim gently slammed his head with a huge fist.
"However, Her Royal Highness the Princess...... This commission is quite tricky. Shira stroked the end of the long whip and gently wrapped her fingers, "With our current combat strength, even if all the people gather, it is impossible to attack the royal city from the front." β
"It's not impossible to ......use that spy airship," Olivier muttered quietly.
ββ¦β¦ I've thought about those. Kloss smiled and spread out a very old-looking scroll of paper, "Guys, can you see this?" β
"It's ......," Estelle took the paper, and the dense markings on it made her dizzy again.
"This ancient map is an ancient document that records the internal structure of the underground waterways of the royal capital, and it marks the hidden waterways leading to the underground of the royal city." Kloss's tone was calm, but the content was like thunder.

"W-What the hell is going on!?" In Gran Sell, after sending Richard and the others into the underground ruins, Kainona, who returned to the palace with the handle in her hand, was in the communication room of the palace, and shouted angrily to Second Lieutenant Lawrence on the other end of the communicator: "The communication with the 'Elbe Palace' has been cut off!" β
"The Guards and the Guerrilla Association......" Lawrence's voice sounded weak, I don't know if it was because of the bad transmission signal or some other reason, "it was probably captured by their group." β
"Brazen...... "Kanona's hands trembled with anger, "the ...... who commanded the troops there Isn't that you, second lieutenant! β
"Oh, I'm so embarrassed." said self-deprecating words, but there was no hint of self-blame in his tone, "However, since the matter has come to this, it is useless to complain." And we must also hold on to the royal city, and not let His Majesty be robbed by them. β
"We understand this without your nonsense!" Like a lioness annoyed by the words, Kainona turned her head and shouted to the trembling soldiers behind her: "Seal the city gates completely!" No one is allowed to enter! All you need to do is prepare for a surprise attack from the sky! Also, liaise with the troops from all over the country and let them march towards the Elbe's Palace! The reasons are...... Suppress the terrorist syndicate that pretends to be royalty! β
"Yes!" The agents shouted in unison, and then they went to work, their movements in unison and well-trained.
ββ¦β¦ The Colonel is not here, and we must hold this place. Leaving Kainona alone in the room, muttering to herself.

"First of all, Joshua, Mr. King, and Olivier work in a group of three to attack the underground of the royal city from the underground waterways." Between the coats of arms, Yulia was quickly reading out the battle plan she had just discussed, "and then quickly rushed to the guard duty room and activated the opening and closing mechanism of the city gate. β
"Understood." Joshua's answer was succinct.
"Well, the huge fireworks are about to start." Kim's answer was steady, with a vague hint of anticipation.
"Hmph...... Anyway, the final act of the stage play finally begins. "Of course, the only person who can say such a witty thing on such an occasion is Olivier.
"At the same time as the gates opened, all the members of the Guards and the four guerrillas rushed directly into the city from the city block. Try to create the effect of all the soldiers and draw all the enemies into the city. Xiaofei, please leave it to you this time. Yulia turned to the guards and the guerrillas stationed in the royal capital, "No problem. β
"Yes!" The reply of the Guards was loud and powerful.
"Leave it to us." Cruz replied on behalf of the guerrillas, his voice reassuring.
"Since the princess ...... Kloss made a formal commission, and I had no scruples. Fei's hand gently touched the blade of the gun at her waist, she had listened to Helica's words and had avoided fighting with the soldiers of the Intelligence Department in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, but now with the permission of the princess, the belligerent blood of a hunter in her heart had a faint boiling feeling.
"Last......" Yulia turned her gaze to Estelle, Kloss, and Sherazade with some difficulty, and all eyes followed Yulia hereβ
ββ¦β¦ Your Royal Highness, are you really determined to go to war? β
