Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Eve of the Operation

In the evening, Daxisis was intoxicated by a sea of joy - in order to celebrate the initial completion of the plan, Heliga specially called Laura and Emma to have a small banquet to celebrate.

"But it's thanks to Captain Claire." After Heliga had all of the Keldicks who had been injured in the Duke's attack and had been admitted to the best hospital in Ballihatt and would soon be properly treated, Heliga had to raise her voice to suppress the cheers, "If she hadn't accurately deduced Lieutenant General Craig's strategic deployment, we'd have had to work a little harder." ”

"yes...... If only she were here. Rien couldn't help but feel a little regretful, "In this way, I can thank her in person...... Unfortunately, she didn't come with us after that. ”

After Captain Claire accompanied Hyliga and the others to the door, he stayed in the Garelia Fortress because he had to arrange the next plan of action, so Rien let out such an exclamation.

"You're just staring at Captain Claire's face." Heiliga teased from the side, "What, is it good for your appetite?" ”

"So...... In the previous internship in Lure, it was also Captain Lane and Claire who ...... in that bar," added Macchias, who was on the side.

"Ahaha...... How to direct the fire at me. Lane scratched her head and smiled awkwardly, thinking to herself, fortunately Alyssa and Chloe were not there, otherwise they wouldn't know how to end.

"Anyway, thanks to her help, there shouldn't be any major problems this time. As for Jusses, I'm going to go again tomorrow in person...... Are any of you going to go along? Don't have too many people together, otherwise it will be too conspicuous. ”

After that, everyone began to discuss the selection of fellow travelers. At some point, Levi and other outside collaborators made all sorts of excuses to quit, leaving the space to the members of Team VII. They gradually forgot about the serious topics and began to talk to each other about light-hearted entertainment, just like they were at school.

After a full meal, the group came to a clearing in the western part of the town, where the body made of Nasemlia stone, the "Grey Rider", shone brightly in the moonlight. Although it is not the first time I have seen it, it is really unique to look at this huge knight statue quietly in the moonlight.

"The reserve of mana is abundant...... In the next few days, you should be able to act at any time. Serenu patted the rider lightly with his cat's paw and said.

"It's also a remote area, so it's not easy to spot. From here, it's faster than from Lunalia Natural Park. Heliga said that it was he who suggested that Lane call the rider from the direction of the natural park. From there, they would have to cross the Orolos Gorge to reach the vicinity, and from the vicinity of Daxis, they would only have to cross the plains, "and they could not have expected it in this direction." ”

"It's better that they couldn't have predicted it in the first place." Macchias pursed his lips, "But if I have to say it, I think it's a little strange that guy would agree to such a condition." ”

"After all, the Duke of El Barea...... His father did this kind of thing. Laura mused, "Although I haven't felt this way, there must be a lot of pressure on him. ”

"yes...... And his brother also said that he would not help. Fei nodded, "Heiliga speculated that there should be something more important on the side of the Noble Alliance. ”

"Actually, this is Oliebat's judgment." Heliga sighed, "He said that the lifeless homeland of Ballahat was no longer comparable to the new circle of interests he had won on the war front. This reason is really realistic...... However, he still told Jussi, and it seems that there is still a relationship between the two brothers. ”

"Well...... Leave Mr. Rhofas's business aside for the time being...... Vita, I'm also confused about what they're doing. Recently, I did a little more research, but I didn't find any clues. Serenu scratched her head with her cat's paws very humanely, "I wonder if the excitement caused by this operation will make her alert and show some horses' feet." ”

"Regarding this, I think the current strength may not be enough. I don't have a clue about you witches, to be honest. Hyliga spread his hands, "If necessary, you can make it bigger." ”

"You......" Serenu sighed helplessly, "unlike the Initiator guy. When you mess around, it's never about you that we're worried about, it's about who you're targeting. ”

"I'm not messing around, it's all planned." "Anyway, her purpose is to have something to do with the association." Although I still have a non-aggression pact with the association, how can I say it...... After that, the situation on Cross Bell's side, I'm afraid I'm going to have to get involved. ”

Crossbell ...... I remember you said earlier that you had a good relationship with the Wind Swordmaster. Rien recalled what Heliga had said in the previous small talk.

"Right...... In addition to the Crossbell people, there are some old friends who met during the Liber period. Plus I have a bit of a relationship with the church. If they ask me to help, it's not impossible...... Anyway, the "association" in Crossbell is almost over. ”

"What do you mean?" Macchias is strange.

"That absolute barrier-like thing doesn't mean to disappear." Elliot also wondered, when he was in the fortress before, he could see something like the translucent barrier on the other side of the fortress canyon every day.

"Hmm...... That was something that the Independent State of Crossbell had created, and the Association was only one of the participants. I suspect that their goal will be achieved soon, so there is no need for them to continue playing with Grand Commander Dita. "After all, when they were in Liber, they were like this - whether it was Richard or Floating City, they would just pull their hands away after losing their use value, and they never knew what the aftermath was.

"Do you mean...... Is it immediately after the events in Krutchen? Rien seemed to see a clue, "The secret between you and Jusis is also related to this?" ”

"That's right. But you don't know yet. Heliga smiled wryly, "At least make him a little mentally prepared......
