Chapter 297: Ready
After going ashore, the plan planned by Hailiga to safely transfer the Empress Alfin from the war-torn imperial capital can be considered officially achieved - from the beginning of the implementation of the operation to the end of the operation, less than five hours is enough to confuse the noble soldiers who are still in the imperial capital and have received the order of "protecting Her Royal Highness". Of course, there are also the patrolmen who are confused when they look at the broken door on the corner of a residential area of the empire, and the messy room with furniture that has not had time to be cleaned up.
Of course, the plan for the transfer was complete, and the next thing to start was to hide - which was also quite an important plan. Although Heliga could directly declare that Her Royal Highness was safe to stay with her, once the noble coalition knew about it, it could lead to their attention, and then he would have to be restrained if he wanted to do something else. Protecting Elphin's safety in the civil war is the task given to him by Oliebat, and Heliga himself may not just do it, he naturally has his own ideas - in general, in the civil war, try to weaken the strength of both the regular army and the confederate army, but not let this force vacate and wait for both of them to find another opportunity to grab it back, or let a foreign enemy like the Republic take advantage of the situation, but through some means, firmly grasp these resources in his own hands, grasp Olibat and Heliga, and in the hands of Mula and others who supported his faction.
This is where the difference between Hyliga and Olibert liebat comes in, sometimes too obsessed and obsessed with Liber's fairytale political and national atmosphere, but consciously or unconsciously ignoring the same things, which cannot be simply and crudely replicated in empires with completely different national conditions. Unlike the situation in which the aristocratic power of Liberna had long been outlawed and the royal family was in sole power, the royal family of the empire needed to control a larger range of land, more complex terrain, more populous population, and more class composition, so it was inevitable that the aristocratic forces and large local rulers such as the dukes were also inevitable - the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and he was sitting on a large amount of fertile land and huge population, as well as rich natural resources, and these people naturally could not just carry out the emperor's orders honestly. They must also have their own private development and management of their own forces - these things are intertwined and have been formed within the empire for hundreds of years, whether it is a big wave of his hand like Prime Minister Osborne, and several reforms to wield a butcher's knife against him, or Olibat's desire to directly use it as an escape that they do not exist, it will not solve the problem - it is imperative to weaken the power of the nobility, but it cannot be rushed, the civil war was originally a good opportunity, but Olibat is still unwilling to do it, Instead, he stubbornly chose to go to the front line and resist the most powerful aristocratic army in the western part of the empire.
In this case, the only thing that Heliga could do was to start with the nearby state of Cruchen - Elbarian's family was too big to suffer huge losses in just a few months, and if he did, it would be difficult for Jusis to explain to him; However, among the nobles in the surrounding area, especially among the nobles in the core financial circle of the "Emerald Princess", there are some people who can be used as a breakthrough in the plan, and if they can be taken down and some important information can be obtained, it will also be beneficial for the next plan.
Once the situation settles down, he's going to have to find a way to do it—so what His Highness Elphine is hiding with him must not be discovered until his plan is complete. Once something like that happens, it will attract the attention of the entire dukedom, and even the entire alliance of nobles. Although there is nothing legally wrong with His Highness Elphine staying with him, Helliga is sure that they will not hesitate to create all kinds of incidents to force themselves to do so, so that not to mention their own plans, even the things that Olibat has told him to do will not be able to do well.
That's why Helriga built a refuge around the territory for wartime - which is understandable, because there are places where lords would do the same, but Helriga is the only one who starts preparing long in advance. The Vault looks like a normal room, but in fact, special devices have been built inside for surveillance and espionage information transmission, so that the people inside the house can also know what is going on outside. Elfin and Elyse, if nothing else, will spend their time in the rooms specially prepared for them in the Viscount's Court and the Sanctuary.
In addition, in order to reduce the risk of news leaking out, Hailiga also made a second preparation - let his father issue martial law in the name of the lord during the war, and restrict the flow of people in major neighborhoods. Under the cover of the war itself, this naturally does not attract any kind of attention - mainly the chasseurs in Martha's hands, supplemented by Garcia, Tovar, and other helpers who may appear here, carry out all-round patrols and inspections to ensure the safety of the town.
After being prepared to deal with the troubles of the watch world, Helliga will have to face a pressure from the inner world - this matter, Levy had actually warned him a long time ago, but Helliga did not expect it to come so quickly. After seeing off Steward Claus and a dozen of his protégés who had volunteered to help, Helliga first told Elfin and Elysée about his plans and plans, and after the latter expressed surprise and agreed, he began to arrange patrols with Alain and Tovar. After finishing these things, he originally thought that while staying in his room, he waited for Olibat to contact him next, but what he didn't expect to wait for was someone's "invitation" using magic as a carrier.
"First meeting...... Or should I say it's been a long time? "The visitor had waist-length gray hair, dressed in a colorful outfit, and held a beautifully crafted folding fan that covered half of her cheeks—but more than that, it was some special magic that emanated from her, and it was not a physical object, but a "projection" with some help.
"In this way, it should be considered a "first-time". Heliga sneered, "The Abyss of the Firmament...... The Second Apostle of the Society. ”
"Hmm...... Looks like Lévy has already told you that I exist. Vita wasn't surprised at all, "So, I think you've guessed what I'm here for?" ”
