"Is that really the plan......" Quietly coming behind a hunter and pinching his neck to knock him unconscious, Levi looked in the direction of several hunters who had been dealt with by himself before, and whispered.

Just now, he and Heliga had planned to go to the Vault together, because the sounds of fighting there were already audible. However, Helliga stopped this and asked Levi to separate from him, so the "Sword Emperor" bypassed the original route and followed the alley to the high ground of the city where the Viscount's Mansion was located.

The Viscount's House, the home of Hyliga, was built on the highest point in the town, and from here you can clearly see most of the town, as well as the bustling scene of the port area.

In other words, if something happens during the night - the Viscount's Mansion should be able to see and react in advance. Therefore, Heliga judged that when the direction of the Viscount was attacked, the Viscount's Mansion should have also had their ambush feints.

It turns out that Heliga was right. Levi rejoiced. He woke up Alain and Warnath, who had heard the commotion, and the entire Viscount's Mansion was put on alert - for the Empress Elphine and the others were still resting in their rooms.

This is one of the reasons for Heiliga's unwarranted fears - whether it was a coincidence or an intention, the group of attackers has posed a threat to Elfin's safety. What's more, judging from the fact that these chasseurs knew how to conceal their identities and use gunpowder weapons, as well as this kind of mobility, they were hired by the great nobles and had a high-level chaser regiment with high mobility capabilities.

It is really impossible for the other party to act consciously and say that it is a coincidence or something. So that's what Helliga fears - has Elfin's matter here been exposed?

It stands to reason that this is unlikely. The "association" has already negotiated terms with them, and although they are essentially a somewhat inscrutable criminal organization, I am afraid that they will not casually lose their trust in their own affairs, because it will not do them any good. It is also not very likely to come from other great nobles - the Marquis of Rogner is the standard imperial warrior character, although he is a little short-tempered, he definitely does not commit such rude behavior; The Marquis of Haines was the most shrewd, and his judgment of the whole situation was extremely good, and the situation in Sasharante was already firmly in his hands, and there was no need to do it - especially the Duke of Kane. If his purpose is to "coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes", then the emperor, who is actually under his control, and the crown prince Cedric, have actually met his needs, and there is no need to take this risk again.

Most importantly, how could they possibly know that His Highness Elfin was hiding with them?

With the exception of the merchants of the last few days, there had been no outsiders passing through the area since the beginning of the Civil War - although Elysée often helped refugees who had lost their homes in the war, Elphin rarely appeared among them, because as the Imperial Princess, she was so famous in the Empire that she did appear in disguise.

Some of the merchants may have seen Elfin, which Helliga does not deny; But after all, this is a remote area of the Empire, and even if merchants pass by, they only occasionally come, and the area where they operate is usually in the trade city, and there is where Helliga has specially instructed Elphine not to get too close; Taking a step back, even if Kruchen briefly loosened some of the traffic control checkpoints, and some of these merchants revealed the news to the nobles, but the process from their agreement to the dispatch of the hunters to attack would take a while, and it could not be so fast.

What's more—Heliga thought that if Duke Elbariana could get a strong enough helper from Luvas and Duke Kane, he might not be able to do these more radical acts for the time being. Heliga was sure that he wanted to compete for the position of the Empire's aristocratic faction, but he also trusted his son Lufas. If it weren't for some big stimulus, or if something special had happened, he would definitely not have taken such a risk, out of touch with Lufas's plan.

Therefore, the fact that the person behind the attack was instructed has become a fact that cannot be deduced from the available information alone. Heliga needs to catch one or two alive and get the truth out of their mouths - if necessary, he may use some inhumane means to torture them, so he wants things to be done in secret, otherwise they will be known to Macchias and Elfin, and they will definitely oppose it.

If it was a normal day, Heliga didn't mind being kind in the situation - he hadn't encountered similar situations in the special internship, but he had also watched his classmates show them leniency. Because at that time, he was only a student, and it was difficult to overdo many things under the premise of doing internship projects. But now that he is a member of the lord's family of this territory, it is his duty to maintain the security of the territory, and if necessary, such things and choices are also taken for granted.

"Look at this...... It is indeed one of the large well-trained hunting regiments. Heliga looked out of the Vault, in the direction of a small ravine, where a large number of life reactions had just been detected. Obviously, it was only the vanguard they had sent out to probe the reality of the battle inside the Vault, while the larger forces were not far away waiting for further signals of action.

Sure enough, he got the news—thought Heliga. With the strength of such a hunting regiment, if it was just an order to attack a viscount, it would have been possible not to be so cautious. However, the fact that they were on the verge of a great enemy had already proved that they had received the message: there was danger here, and they must act with caution.

According to the previous inference, although I don't want to admit it, but it seems that the only one who has the ability and motivation to do so is the Duke of Elbardia's family?

If not, it must be a Kruchen nobleman—Helliga thought as she gave up the pursuit and turned to the shelter.

Let's keep this large army for the time being—and look for traces and evidence later. If you do things too well, I am afraid that it will lead to the attention of the noble alliance later, and after that, you will face a lot of pressure.

Hopefully, Levi's side will gain something, and hopefully Garcia will understand what he means and find a way to catch one or two alive without being fatally harmed.
