Chapter Seventy-Eight: An Alternative Approach (2-in-1)

"Keldick was attacked?"

When Haliga woke up Ryan and the others from their sleep, they were more or less dissatisfied that their sleep had been disturbed. However, when they heard Heliga's explanation, they were all tired in an instant.

By the way, Emma was the first to be notified because of Selenu, a cat who is used to moving at night, so she actually listened to almost all of the conversations between Heliga and Elphin and the others. Therefore, the task of waking Emma is naturally his.

"Hmm...... According to the current information, it should have been done by the aristocratic coalition. Although it is not known why they did this...... But according to the intelligence, Keldik has now been largely razed to the ground, and the once prosperous town has been reduced to rubble......"

"Why ...... like that" and "What an abominable atrocity...... Emma and Macchias were angry with each other.

"That's a ...... I didn't expect that Your Excellency to really do such a thing. Te'o also had a surprised expression on his face, and the movement of everyone naturally woke him up as the master, and he was also very surprised after hearing Heliga's description, "Although the Grand Duke of Helmut has all kinds of personality problems, he doesn't look like a person who would do such a stupid thing...... After this incident, I'm afraid ......"

"What's your opinion?" Heiliga asked earnestly. He already had some idea of what was going to happen in Kruchen, but he needed to confirm it further. Although Te'o has long since faded out of the social circle, it is precisely because of this that his judgment of the situation in the empire is more objective and not influenced by the camp, so he has also been praised by Olibat. If his thoughts can coincide with Baron Teo's, it means that he has a chance to act this time.

"Although I don't have conclusive evidence...... But if I were the Duke of Kane, I would definitely try my best to dissociate myself from the Duke of El Bare at this moment. Te'o didn't seem to know what Heliga was thinking, but honestly stated his judgment, "First of all, no matter how unforgiving the alliance of nobles is, it is simply unheard of to take the initiative to send troops to destroy their own territory - this is not in line with the traditions of the empire, let alone the modern version of the imperial constitution, even the alliance of nobles cannot cover it." Secondly, for the casualties caused by Keldic, the Elbarea family must calculate and compensate, and apologize, which is also a very troublesome job, and the other members of the noble alliance will definitely not be willing to bear any black pot because of this. Moreover, even if the form of the aristocratic alliance is very good now, they have not achieved complete superiority and victory, and if the reformers have the last laugh in the end, then such a move that completely violates the law and common sense will inevitably be severely punished. ”

"So, your opinion is that the Noble Alliance will deliberately alienate the Duke of Elbariana because of this matter?" Heliga asked.

"Hmm...... Distancing, that's the least to do. If possible, they might also choose to remove the Duke of Elbarea from the League of Nobles - but as far as I know, the eldest son of the Duke of Elbariana, Lufas, is now serving as a chief of staff in the command center of the League of Nobles. Considering his existence, the Noble Alliance should not go too far, but the attitude is certain. Moreover, I think this incident also confirms from the side that the Duke of El Barea has the upper hand in the battle with the regular army on the side of the Garelian fortress, so the series of follow-up problems that will lead to it are not something I could have predicted. ”

"That's a reasonable analysis." Macchias's eyes lit up, and he agreed with what Te'o said, "Moreover, the defenders of the Garelian Fortress should be involved in the disaster relief work here after learning about this, and may even receive Keldik to deliver supplies for them." In this way, the unbreakable situation of the Noble Alliance has opened a gap in Krutchen - if the 4th Mecha Division can find a way to complete a strategic rendezvous with the regular armies elsewhere-"

"And there's a problem behind it...... That was the attitude of the Marquis of Haines. Ever since the beginning of the Civil War, he has been in a more passive attitude than others. This may have something to do with the fact that the regular army in Sasalanta is not strong, but I think it is more due to the fact that he is still in a strategic wait-and-see state and has concerns about not taking further action. This matter is bound to shake the mind of the Marquis of Haines, and although the Marquis of Rogner is currently very active in the war, he is also a royalist in nature, plus a person with an aristocratic spirit, so he must be very resistant to this matter, and if it is not handled well, it will hurt the hearts of these two nobles. "Besides, I remember that Duke Kane himself didn't like Duke Elbare very much, right? ”

"Hmm...... I heard that the two of them have been fighting for the dominance of the noble alliance army. Although Al Bare is not an opponent at all, it is also annoying to be entangled in conspiracies large and small. Baron Theo said with a smile.

"yes...... So, taking this opportunity, he might also push a hand to push the Duke of El Barea out of it completely under the pretext of civil war disadvantages and illegal acts...... For this reason, even if Balyahat is temporarily dominated by the Fourth Mecha Division, it will not hesitate. Heliga said.

"Is it necessary to do this to this extent?" Although Machias understands politics, he does not understand strategy - in his opinion, it will be difficult for the 4th Mecha Division to control Balyahat, and then try to recapture it.

"No...... Maybe that's a better flaw. Rien shook his head, "The occupation of the city will make the soldiers of the Fourth Mecha Division mentally slack, and at present, Balyahat is still a city belonging to the nobility, and it will not be good if it is not dealt with at all after the occupation, so it is bound to be divided into some soldiers to be stationed in the city - in any case, the interior of the city is not at all as strong as the Garelian Fortress." In a sense, being able to disperse the forces of the 4th and 5th Mecha Divisions and get out of the impregnable fortress can be regarded as a kind of luring the snake out of the hole. ”

"yes...... The best thing is that if you do this, the soldiers of the 4th Mecha Division will have to come out, and you can't leave the city alone. Unless the local nobility is willing to assist them...... But neither Helmut nor Lufas would have done that. ”

"But, for now, isn't Jusis still there?" Emma asked.

"yes...... He's in. However, he was nominally the second son of the Elbare family, and his control over the state of Crutchen was second only to the two, and if he was to be in power, his father would have to lose power for something, and his brother would have to give up that right in a clear way. I can't really think of a situation where both could happen at the same time, especially the latter, and Lufas probably wouldn't have to do that. ”

"yes...... If the Duke of Helmut is really unfit to take charge of the territory because of this matter, it will definitely be his brother with more prestige and ability to clean up the situation. Anyway, the war in the west is relatively easy now, and Duke Kane should not embarrass him on such an important issue. Machias commented that Jusis was not as good as Lufas, and his tone was calm, and he didn't mean to be deliberately angry at all, "And maybe he will take advantage of the situation to let Lufas take over the affairs of Krutchen." If Luvas can succeed, then not only will his reputation in the Noble Alliance rise further, but the Duke of Kane will take the opportunity to sell him favors......"

"It will be more supportive of Lufas, the most influential person among the young nobles of the empire." "That's a good calculation," said Haliga for Marchias. If this is the case, the Elbare family's status in the noble alliance will be further enhanced—except that Eussian's father will be a victim. ”

"But...... Wouldn't that be tantamount to pushing your father into the fire pit? Emma wondered, "Jusse's brother doesn't look like that kind of person." ”

"It's hard to say...... And whatever the conspiracy and position of the nobility involved in this, it is certain that Krutchen will be a little chaotic because of it. If Kane really had this idea, it would be a clever trick to get away with it - but before we can do that, we have to take care of the matter at hand. ”

"yes...... If you can, you should check out Keldik now. It suddenly occurred to Machias that the most important thing at the moment was that the situation in the trading town should be confirmed, "Then we ......"

"It's troublesome." Helliga smacked her lips, "I didn't expect this to happen, so I forgot to set up the teleportation method before leaving...... Although I also have spare scrolls that I can guide Her Highness Elphine or Elysée to assist, I think it will be difficult for them to take us all at once with the skills of the two of them......"

"If that's the case...... "How about trying the power of the Rider?" said Serenu, who had been hiding all this time. After a day of spiritual recovery, if it was just a few of you, I think it would be fine. ”

"Riding God? You mean Valima? Lane was stunned.

"Is it for the rider to fly back with us? It may be fast enough, but it feels ...... It's hard to accept. "Not to mention the cold wind and air pressure changes during rapid advancement, the speed of the rider god itself, without any means of shock absorption and cushioning, is enough to make people feel uncomfortable - especially for a person like Macchias who has no martial arts cultivation and physical foundation.

"No...... Even I wouldn't have made such a stupid suggestion. In fact, the Rider has the ability to open the way of the elves, which can be triggered when the spirit power is sufficient. Of course, the activation location must be the node of the spiritual vein. ”

Serenu then briefly explained the principle of the Elven Way - it turned out that the rider was able to resonate with the intersection of his own spiritual veins, thus opening a passage that could quickly shuttle through the intersection of spiritual power without regard for space. This power requires a large amount of spiritual power, and can only be activated at the intersection of spiritual veins. After escorting Rien back to the town, Serenu also took a look around the town and found that there was a suitable location near the snow slopes near the town.

"As for the destination...... I think that clearing in the depths of Lunalia Natural Park should be of good use. "When I used the directional teleportation, I also used the spiritual power there as a stabilizer for magical power. ”

"Lunalia Natural Park...... It happened to be very close to Keldik. "We were at that place when we first interned. ”

"In that case...... So be it. Serenu, you and Rien will help the rider open the way of the elves, and I will find a way to get there. "It's abrupt, but I don't think the way of the elves of the god will be able to teleport me. ”

“…… That's true. Serenu glanced at Heliga, "The power in you doesn't seem to be recognizable and resonant with the power of the elves—speaking of which, I've long wanted to ask, what is this?" ”

"Leave that at that." "Anyway, if I'm alone, I'll have a way to get back quickly—come on." We will try to meet in Keldik before noon today. ”

"Really...... Father, he did. Lufas said indifferently, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"yes...... Master Lufas. The old butler Arnold begged—early this morning, he hurriedly found an excuse to return to his hometown in the Duke's palace of Balyahat, and deliberately overstepped his authority to contact Lufas directly, "You can think of a way—my lord has done such a thing, I ......"

"Mr. Arnold, you must know that such a move by my father cannot be avoided no matter how much the aftermath is dealt with." Lufas said calmly, "I think you should also know how much this kind of thing will affect the image and public opinion pressure of the noble alliance, as well as the internal unity - although they don't know about this yet, do you think they will sit idly by?" ”

"Yes...... But you are the most trusted ...... of the Duke of Kane."

"These are two different things—Arnold, remember—and my father may not be sitting in the duke's seat for long. If you still want to believe me...... During this time, rely on Yusis a lot. ”

"I naturally believe in Master Jusis, but ......"

"No — not to believe, but to trust without reservation." Luvas corrected, "And...... Don't expect too much from me here. ”

"You...... What do you mean......" The old butler was stunned for a moment, and his face, which had been a little pale from recent overwork, turned into a fiasco in an instant.

"Hmm...... ...... in a short period of time No, I won't be asking about the El Barea family for the foreseeable long time. …… This...... That's the beginning. ”
