"How did I not know?" Heiliga's first instinct was surprise – he already felt that he was already a person with a deep understanding of the situation in Cross Bell. Although Lloyd and Guy both said that there was an open-faced helper at the side of the Cullois family, who helped them cover well and help deal with everything on the worldly level, he didn't want to dig into it and came back on his own. Until then, neither the Guerrilla Association nor the autonomous state government, nor the police, the Church of Nanyao, and underground forces such as the Black Moon, had found any trace of Olibat's involvement.

Olibat and Heliga have a good relationship, and there is no need for the former to hide it from him, but he still let Heliga leak it. In this case, either there is something that Helriga does not cover, or ...... Or maybe he couldn't think of anything else.

"Because it's really something you've been overlooking." Oliebart said, "Cross Bell's Guiding Force Commodity Center, you shouldn't be impressed, right?" ”

"Not really...... Ah, I see. Heliga understood—because he didn't use a power guide, he didn't care much about the people involved in the power guide, and in the central square of Crossbell, there was indeed a huge guide store directly under the responsibility of the Epstein Consortium.

"Cross Bell has Colonel Richard there...... Mr. Richard's intelligence team, which was once part of the Intelligence Department, was responsible for taking advantage of Crossbell's peculiarities to obtain information on the state of operations of the countries of the continent, so as to facilitate their own plans. "Richard just didn't hold a military rank when he got out of prison, but he actually did the work of the Ministry of Intelligence. Besides, I've recently heard that he's grown in strength by leaps and bounds without demons, and maybe in a little while, he'll be able to have a showdown with his teacher, the Sword Saint Cassius. ”

"That's pretty impressive." Heliga nodded—Richard was a man he knew very well, a Liberian through and through, and a fanatical patriot who could do anything for Liber. Although he was once played by the "white face" who is good at manipulating people's hearts, but now that he has learned his lesson, and with the personal guidance of Cassius Bright, who is both a mentor and an idol, it can be said that he has been on the right path and will not fall into the same deep ditch twice. At the same time, since Richard himself was able to reach a similar agreement directly with Olibat, and used the Eye of Liber that he had planted in Crossbell to observe the wind and grass for Olibat, wouldn't it mean that Richard, or Queen Liber and Cassius behind Richard, did also regard Olibart himself as a very trustworthy ally?

"However, the information they can provide is very limited. The two of them, one at Crossbell News Agency and the other at the Steering Store, were eaten to death by the editorial department and the consortium respectively, and Richard had nothing to do in order not to expose them. Olibart didn't seem to see what Heliga was thinking, but continued: "Besides, since you are already here, and your plans are going well, I don't care too much...... But if you're going to give up on Cross Bell directly......"

"Cross Bell's situation is too complicated, and if the two of us try to take it down, it will take a lot of time and energy, and we will end up with a thankless end." Heiliga said lazily, "Actually, it would be best if Crossbell could pull in the empire through diplomatic means. The problem is that Prime Minister Osborne does not like to put a long line and catch a big fish, but prefers a simple and crude way of solving problems. ”

"After all, there's a Republic of Calvard over there." Oliebart pointed out the problem simply, "But now that you've chosen where the plan will be carried out, I don't have much more to say, although I think it's a pity to give up on Crossbell. Master Yoguru shouldn't have my turn to worry about it, Ling...... Need my help negotiating? ”

"I don't know how to do it...... Ling's identity is actually still private in Liber, right? On the surface, she is just the adopted daughter of the Bright family, studying at Wang Li College. Heliga shrugged, "It's hard to talk about secrecy and fame and stuff. I don't have any ideas myself, what about you? ”

"My thoughts?" After hearing this, Olibart smiled and said, "What do you think, how about giving Tolz a branch school?" ”

"And then let Ling go through the way of transfer? That's a good idea...... Your strength is too weak on the side of this school, and the aristocratic forces, reformers, and capital groups are separated, and it is too much of a problem to fight with them. But...... Why do I think Ling can be an instructor directly after she comes? ”

"That's right...... But that doesn't seem appropriate. Olibat frowned, "Other, more reliable ways...... It can be that Liber sends a technical team to you, and Ling is an intern inside. ”

"Isn't Liber going to hemorrhage......" Helliga pouted - the technology of the "Chase Central Workshop" is the only capital that Liberl can currently fight against the Empire. The old allies, the Republic, have also been in a state of flux recently, and the giants that rivaled the empire in the past are now about to be surpassed by Erebonia. In this case, the technical personnel of the central workshop were sent out one by one...... If Hyliga and Olibat weren't friends with Liebel, but instead imprisoned them and forced them to work for the Empire - should Liber really be honest with Olibart, or was the country really ...... Foolish?

"So you need to show a little sincerity. To put it bluntly, I want to give them a little benefit. Olibat nodded, "All I can promise is to do my best to keep my part of Erebonia under control and not rush too hard. Even though I don't really have any music in mind, they still want to believe me. ”

"Is that so......" Helliga understood—all Liber was doing was hoping to find a breathing room in the midst of the growing chaos. Everyone understands that there can be no second miracle of the Hundred Days War, and the Empire's military guidance technology has now been vigorously developed to catch up, not much behind Liber.

"I'll leave it to you to think about it slowly." "It's getting late...... It's time for me to go, too. Let me thank you...... If it weren't for you, I really don't know how to keep these two mecha divisions in that wilderness. I didn't expect you to not only do it, but also succeed in getting Kane Gong to compromise with you...... That's a great thing. ”

"However, I don't think this truce will last long. The news of Marquis Rogner's announcement of his withdrawal will definitely reach his ears immediately, and the noble coalition will react quickly at that time. You...... Be careful. ”

"Don't worry. This situation is much better than the situation when there was a strong enemy in front of it and there was no way back. Olibart said briskly, "After that, you want to follow the plan and spend some time with Duke Kane?" How do you think he will act? ”

"I think he probably can't pull his face down to confront the Marquis of Rogner directly. You, the prince, he can't do anything to you directly...... Most likely they will use this as an excuse to find trouble with Li En and them? Heiliga thought casually, "I feel like this kind of way anyway." Oh, by the way, I think he has a special obsession with riding gods. ”

"Oh?" Oliebat's eyebrows furrowed, "Why?" ”

"Actually......" Helliga thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know the background of Duke Kane?" ”

————————————————————————

"Original...... Is this the case...... descendants of the "Puppet Emperor" ...... "After listening to Heliga's story, Olibat had completely forgotten that he was leaving, and at this moment, night had quietly fallen - but Olibat no longer had the heart to pay attention to these, his attention was all attracted by Heliga's words, "Then he is really right......"

"Hmm. Vita says that in order to complete the association's plan, Scarlet must appear and act as a power generator for Lane and Chloe to fight, so as to achieve some of their goals. But the problem is that Vita is very jealous of the power of this god-riding, and she doesn't want Scarlet to wake up, while Kane seems to be preparing to do so. ”

"Isn't the activation of the god of riding to pass that test?" Oliebat thought for a moment and asked, "Kane Gong...... And he's not a master. ”

"But he is a descendant of the puppet emperor. Scarlet is not the same as other riding gods, maybe he will be forcibly activated because of his bloodline, and then just like his ancestors, he will just use him to activate and then get out of control? Heiliga shrugged, "Anyway, this possibility exists. Vita seems to be worried about this, so I offer to help her solve this problem - the power in my body is more than enough to suppress "Scarlet", and if I can do it, I will be able to better intervene in various affairs in the future. ”

"That's what you say...... So you're planning to sneak in early? Olibat understood, "Then why don't you just go over?" Didn't Vita already tell you that the riding god was under the palace? With your abilities, it shouldn't be a problem to sneak in. ”

"yes...... But the problem is that Vita has to be there to watch, to make sure nothing goes wrong. "I can hide it, but she's ...... It's still a little bit worse. When the time comes, the other masters around Kane Gong will see what clues, and they will be in trouble. Only I would have gotten along with Lord Kane myself, pretending to flatter him, ostensibly agreeing to some of his conditions, and then finding another opportunity to offer to see the rider of Scarlet, and then let Vita take me—" Helliga snapped her fingers, "and it would have been perfect." I wasn't going to drive the rider away on the spot anyway, he shouldn't be able to see anything - until he wanted to use it himself. ”

"I see...... In this way, the association also knows that you are going to take away the "scarlet"? Oliebat was a little worried, "However, no matter how you look at it, the riding god has something to do with the power of the Supreme Treasure...... How could the Society be able to watch the power of the Arcana be used by ordinary people? ”

"It's probably because it's hard for associations to infiltrate the empire. Didn't Wiseman prepare for Liber for ten years in painstaking pursuit? "Crossbell is making rapid progress, and that's because they've dug up the local Snake Cullois family as allies to complete the preparations so quickly. The empire is different...... The struggle between the various forces is intricate, not to mention the Guerrilla Association, even if it is an organization with great influence in other places, such as the Epstein Foundation and the Church of the Seven Stars, they are basically hitting a wall here in the Empire. In the face of the Empire, the Association also had to tread carefully - probably because of this. ”

"That's right...... It's just that you have to be careful when it comes to cooperating with associations. Olibart finally said, only to suddenly remember that he had passed his time, "Oh no...... It's almost an hour late. The guy who was waiting for me should be in a hurry now. ”

"Don't worry, I'll give you a ride." "Show me the way." ”

An hour later, when Helliga finally arrived in a deserted wilderness on the border between the states of Notia and Lamar, carrying the exhausted Olibat, the anxious man who was waiting for Olibat breathed a sigh of relief. Heliga carried Olibat on his shoulders and hurried with a dragon's roar, the latter was not a master of physical arts, so he naturally couldn't bear it - in the end, despite Helriga's caution, he was not too late.

"The rest is up to you. I'll fix the problem as soon as I can. If nothing else, the real decisive moment of the civil war is coming...... I wish Kane was really doing what Vita said, doing what we wanted him to do. ”

"Until then, let's keep an eye on Lane and them. After finding all the students, they will probably try to find a way to take back the school. "Although I have been informed, it is not really difficult......

"Because the aristocratic students and the aristocratic faction who are in charge of staying behind have taken different positions." "But it's definitely going to be a fight...... I'll just sit on the sidelines and watch it then. The real highlight is when you stay in the imperial capital. You have to be careful when the time comes, don't oversleep and delay the show. ”

"Don't worry. When the time comes, I will run from the barracks even if I run naked. The jokes of Olibat and Heliga made the soldiers on the side sweat all over their heads - His Royal Highness is usually quite serious, how did he get to where he is today......

"That's goodbye. Beware of Mura hoisting you onto the barrel of the chariot. Heliga tried to make Oliebart recall his real fear.

"Wow!!"
