Chapter 118: Peeling Back the Cocoon (2-in-1)

Because of this commission, it did seem quite private—so Helliga politely "invited" the others aside for the time being, and then discussed with Boris and the others. After about half an hour, Heliga left humming a little tune, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood, presumably having had a good conversation.

Coincidentally, almost at the same time, Jussis, who had just finished his affairs and had a rare time to spare, and Riene, who had just been entrusted by Helriga to bring back two sets of "trophies", also returned with the Rider God. Tolz VII class, all the students who have news of the civil war at present, can be regarded as a temporary reunion at this moment.

"Good work, Dawn...... It's hard work for Valima, too. Heiliga said happily as she looked at the two "trophies" that Lane had brought back with him, not knowing whether it was better to tow or carry them, which were the mechs used by the Confederate Army in Kruchen.

"It's okay...... Valima's spiritual power is also quite sufficient, and this kind of physical work seems to be only he can do. We searched for the nearest outpost, and the two mechs were unused before, so they were fairly well preserved. Rien and Serenu's bodies fell to the ground with a burst of white light that bounced off Valima's chest, "Is everything alright?" ”

"It's all right. And what a coincidence...... By chance, two-thirds of our Class VII gathered here. Macchias sighed.

"Indeed...... When the war in Kruchen ended, Keldik suffered that kind of thing, but fortunately there were no casualties - when you think about it, it feels like a blessing in misfortune. A smile bloomed on Elliot's face.

"Indeed...... Trade between the towns also seems to be preparing for a gradual recovery. Laura said with some embarrassment, "Yes...... That day, he actually said that he would give me the lead in that meeting......"

"After all, you're the de facto supreme leader." Heliga pouted, "If my father isn't here, I'll have to bite the bullet." ”

"Speaking of which...... Where's your father, Helliga? Fei asked strangely, she has been following out on missions these days, responsible for contacting all parties and other things, and occasionally participating in battles, but she hasn't been back for a long time.

"He...... It seems that because the war is over, there is no need to keep the shelter, and he is busy settling the final matters and sending the refugees back. Of course, the same is true for receiving thanks or something...... He was with Garcia. Speaking of this, I couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "Really, it's clear that I was the one who proposed and planned this in the first place, so why didn't you come to thank me." ”

"Who made you run around all the time after that, and the dragon couldn't see the end...... Your father did all the work for you, and he did it more than yours. "Macchias mercilessly exposed Haliga's old bottom, and the implication is that the refugees should thank your father, and you can't help but think about it.

"Alas...... That's true. After all, it was originally one of the "blindfolds" set up to cover Her Royal Highness...... Although it seems that the results are somewhat beyond our expectations, this trick has not worked at all. Heiliga sighed and said.

"Seriously, you really want Her Royal Highness to ......" Speaking of this, Laura still felt a little inappropriate, "Even with the permission of His Royal Highness Olibat, it would be a bit ......"

After the Battle of Orolos Fort ended and peace was restored in Kruchen, Olibat contacted the rest of Class VII through other channels while Heliga was away, except for Jussius. During that contact, he expressed his blessings to the students of Class VII, and personally acknowledged his expectations for Operation Elfin. Finally, he gave a suggestion that sounded useful—to find a way to find the remaining members of Class VII and, if possible, to re-locate the students of the Zitolz Non-commissioned Officer Academy.

In this regard, Li En and others highly agreed, while Hailiga was noncommittal. He wasn't opposed to such an action plan – and to be honest, for those who were actually students, such a course of action was the maximum amount of intervention they could get. But Heiliga naturally had a plan for a long time - the matter of Cross Bell, he could not leave it alone.

Not to mention Kia, who has been activated by the power of the leylines and is almost equivalent to the treasure in the human world, not to mention the attraction that Crossbell itself brings to Heliga as a place with a mysterious origin history of thousands of years - the mere opportunity to meet Rei and Master Yoguru again, and try to get in touch with them and support them, is one of the reasons why he can't refuse.

Of course, apart from his relationship with Ling, his relationship with Master Yoguru is not that familiar. Therefore, he also thought of another way, that is, let Lloyd and the others find a way to get in touch with the old street Imelda woman to see if they could get some useful information. Through her perennial dealings with the arms shops in Crossbell Street, Heliga has learned that the old woman Imelda has a not simple background, and even "Rubacher" did not dare to disrespect her in his heyday, and now that the Cullois family has taken full power, it seems to be the same, which is very telling. It is difficult for such a person to find her weakness, but Heliga knows that this old woman seems to be extremely fond of Lloyd and the others, so it is also a feasible plan from here, and there is no substantial loss if it fails.

"Anyway, it's already happened...... Her Royal Highness's declaration at the fortress of Orolos actually represented her position as a member of the Imperial Family. Although Duke Kane controls the core members of the imperial family, including His Majesty the Emperor and the Crown Prince, I am afraid that he will not take this kind of thing seriously. Therefore, it is a good choice to hire the "Northern Hunters" with strong combat capabilities. They are dead soldiers who come out to fight for their hometown, although they are also for money, but after all, they are not the same as pure mercenaries like "Nidhogg" who take money to do things. They have some common feelings, and I saved their members, and although they may give up their mission for some reason, at least they won't fight back, I think it's still certain. ”

"This is also ...... 'Northern Hunter', it always feels like it gives people an indescribable ......" Laura shook her head, "In short, in the current situation, it should be considered trustworthy." ”

"I've moved out of their beloved hometown to intimidate them, and it should have some effect." Heliga cupped her chin in her hands, "Besides, I'm right. Machias must have thought the same way, right? Before that? The empire looks like it has a tendency to invade Northumbria. ”

"To be honest, no." Macchias seemed a little embarrassed, but he graciously admitted, "But I could already see that you meant something, so I just followed your wishes." But it is true that I thought about it and did not find fault with it - speaking of which, I have spoken with your father a few times in a few times, and his insights and analysis of the current state of the empire have been eye-opening to me, and it is hard to imagine that this is the aristocrat that I have instinctively felt bad before...... If all the nobles had half the level and sense of responsibility of your father, I don't think the empire would have gotten to this point. ”

"That's probably the impact. In fact, the origin of this idea did not come from myself......" Heliga thought about it, but decided to explain it, "In fact, the original theoretical basis of this idea ...... It's from Kidion, that is, the comrade G of the "Imperial Liberation Front". ”

"It's the use of the "Demon Flute"...... The one who controls Warcraft? Several people were stunned at first, and then secretly surprised, they didn't expect to hear this name in this situation.

"Yes. In fact, after that, I visited the imperial capital once, and used His Royal Highness Olivebat's personal connections to find him. "He had had a great correspondence with my father," he generously admitted, "and the two of them were of the same opinion on many issues, so they were good friends." It's just that Kidion has been so fierce in promoting anti-government politics that he has been legally banned from his position as a professor at the Imperial Capital Academy, and has since become a terrorist. ”

"So...... Are you taking advantage of your father's relationship? ......" Laura seemed to understand something.

"Sort of...... I was a combination of hard and soft. Because in the park of Our Lady, I used my bare hands to kill the giant monster to intimidate him, and to capture him alive, so he was afraid of me; And in the subsequent meeting, I brought out my father's relationship with him......" said Helliga, of course, from the conversation he had with Kidion in the detention center controlled by the railway gendarmerie, "At that time, he was probably moved by me, or maybe he just felt that he was in the hands of the enemy, and it was impossible for him to live well for the rest of his life, so he told me about the thesis he deposited at the academy." ”

"So...... You got that paper, and he mentioned all those things? Macchias understood that the Imperial Academy had always been his dream - if possible, it would be his next plan to graduate from Tolz and further his studies at law schools there or in the Empire.

"Yes. However, he only mentioned that Prime Minister Osborne's methods of expansion seemed modest, but in fact they were very radical - he did not expand directly through military occupation, but first exerted economic, cultural and ideological influence, and finally the people in these areas turned to the water. In his paper, he also argues that the empire once occupied those autonomous states, but then had to abandon this rule for various reasons, one of which was that the empire did not ideologically eradicate their revolt. What Prime Minister Osborne was doing was to conquer in the true sense of the word, beyond any previous means—some of the small autonomous states around the empire no longer even had their own culture and institutions. It was not the Empire that forced them to give up, but they themselves threw it away on their own initiative - after tasting the benefits of standing with the Empire. But in this way, his attitude towards Northumbria was also different from that of the rest of the region—he opposed the legitimacy of the autonomous state government in favor of the hunters, but was always ready to do so, as I slowly discovered. If it is assumed that Kidion's theory is correct that he was avoiding the use of war for expansion in order to better assimilate the autonomous states, then his unusual behavior towards Northumbria can be explained by the fact that for some reason he seems to have been thinking about launching a military campaign against this place. ”

"That makes sense...... But why? If it were only because of those strategic resources, he could have promoted some in-depth cooperation to help the autonomous prefecture restore its national strength. "Why make such a choice, given that the Republic has much less influence over there than Cross Bell, that there will be no obstruction from a large number of evenly matched opponents, and that he could even replace the politicians there with his own faction?" ”

Everyone thought about this question for a long time, but did not give a definite possibility. As a result, the topic of small talk had to be restarted in silence.

“…… Alas. In this way, the nobles said that he was a "monster" entrenched in the empire, but it could not be said that they were completely wrong. I do recall that sometimes my father did not seem to approve of the prime minister's actions, even though they claimed to be very close allies of the reformers. ”

"Your father must be more neutral." Heliga nodded, "I also inquired a little, in the early days he seemed to be a staunch reformer, but after he rose to a high position, he slowly changed his attitude - he was not as aggressive as His Excellency the Prime Minister. ”

"yes...... But such Prime Minister Osborne is dead. Lane muttered to himself, for some reason, when he mentioned Prime Minister Osborne, he always had an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart, and he didn't know where it came from.

"The most critical problem with Osborne's death was to turn the originally powerful regular army into a mess. But now that the situation has changed, the regular army in Krutchen has made a comeback, and they should be able to quickly reinforce the surrounding area...... I guess it's more likely to be a trip to Notia than to Sasharante. Although the Marquis of Haines is more brave and good at fighting, the resources possessed by the two sides will be different in the direction and decisiveness of the next war situation. Heiliga gave her opinion.

"In this way, the Nolde plateau is even more easily dragged into. Speaking of which, I'm also a little worried about Gaius and Alyssa, and Miriam, and they ......," Dawn said along the lines.

"Don't worry, Initiator." At that moment, Valima spoke in his deep voice, "The three Northwest Direction Quasi-Activators are now safe and sound, and everything is normal. ”

"It's really good." Heliga thought to himself, "Do you want to prepare a copy of the general appearance and structure of Valima, and show it to the old man Jogurus?" ”
