Hilda had been taken captive by aliens, and Elize's words had finally come to this conclusion.

As for why she was abducted, the reason is unknown. After all, the difference in civilization between them and the strange races in the universe is so remarkable that Alice and the others have no way of guessing the aliens' intentions.

Although Lutga couldn't understand almost everything related to aliens, he understood the central idea, a stranger had imprisoned his maid in the huge 'spear'.

"Hilda's current situation is clear for the time being, so let's talk about it for me. ”

Sophia seized the opportunity to take over the right to speak, and her story involved the current state of the Empire, the situation in the alliance area, the movements of the Goddess Cult, and some political conjectures, although it was much easier to understand than Alice's alien rhetoric, but it was not simple in Alice's opinion.

"The main purpose of the Goddess Cult is to interfere with the rituals led by Ariza and cause turmoil in the alliance area to cause turmoil, thereby shaking the stability of the alliance and destroying the trust of the lords, nobles and commoners in their father.

After interrogating the captives of the Goddess Cult, the High Priest of the Holy Tower of [Enoses], who led the operation, it was proved that this time their actions were not due to the instructions of the highest level of the sect, but the arbitrariness of the man, so it is difficult to judge their subsequent actions......

After all, I don't know much about the organization of the Goddess Cult, and I don't know the position of the High Priest in the sect, but in any case, I have increased the number of people and strengthened the vigilance of the captivity.

There are three useful pieces of information that have been gained through this incident. First, the Cult of the Goddess is so proficient in 'dragon magic' that it can have a lethal effect on Arize's rituals, second, the Cult's battle group, the Holy Maiden's Chorus, has mastered dragon magic and strong individual combat ability, and third, ...... As for the saints, after capturing them, it was found that they were between fourteen and twenty years old, and they were under very strong mental control, and the drugs were perhaps magical, in short, these girls were almost not self-conscious, and there was no point in torture. ”

"So, ...... them now?"

Listening to Alice, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and according to her sister's cold style all along, she was afraid that Sophia would decisively execute everyone because 'they were useless'......

"There was no sign of resistance, so I temporarily housed them together to ensure a minimum of subsistence supplies, and now Shephelia himself took care of them. Later, I will hand them over to Sister Eliezer for further physical investigation. ”

"Uh-huh~~Leave it to me~~!"

Alice breathed a sigh of relief in the first half of the sentence, but the last part made her nervous. Because when it comes to Ariz's biology, it is often ...... Oh no, it should be said that it will definitely be mixed with some restriction-level pictures that are not suitable for children, and disemboweling and disemboweling things like Warcraft is almost commonplace.

This time, she was mentally unstable because of Hilda's capture, and the poor saints fell into Elize's hands, and they were likely to be turned into meat on the chopping block and mutilated...... The picture is so miserable that I can't bear to imagine it.

"Uh...... Eliza, research should be moderate, although people are captives, but how to say that they are also girls...... Try not to use too cruel means to study ......"

"It's so naïve, Sister Alice......" Sure enough, Sophia rejected Alice's plea, but she immediately sighed and continued, "I originally wanted to say that, but sister, you are right, these saints have extraordinary strategic significance for the Goddess Cult." So Sister Elize, I also ask you to keep your research as injury-free as possible, which will be beneficial for future political negotiations. ”

"Uh-huh~~ Received it~~"

With Eliezer heartily agreeing, the poor girls were able to save their lives.

"The situation analysis is as above...... In the end, I will tell my sister about the general plan I have specified. Treat the other in his own way...... I intend to go to the Imperial Capital and several major cities around the Imperial Capital to incite and create large-scale unrest in order to contain the Emperor and the Blade of Legends, and slow down their interference in the Alliance, so as to buy time to save Hilda......"

"I'm against it, and I'm adamant I won't let you do that, Sophia. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a calm voice. The father, who has been silent since the beginning - Lutga?? Crusnell stared at his youngest daughter with an almost stern gaze.

"Why, Father......"

"How could I have promised my eight-year-old daughter to do such a wicked thing. ”

"But now that time is running out, we can't look ahead any longer. At best, what I have done is to take advantage of the instability of the situation around the imperial capital and accelerate the turmoil that could have occurred at any time. The risk taken is low, but at the same time the most efficient. ”

"Sophia, do you know how many innocent people will die in a riot in a city?"

“......”

Her father's calm question silenced Sophia.

She knows the answer to the question. After all, in his previous life, the 'man in black' had made a lot of similar 'battle plans'. To put it nicely, it's a 'tactic'. But fundamentally, this is simply a 'terror attack' that involves civilians indiscriminately. The simple pursuit of so-called 'efficiency' is not to mention that there is no justice at all, and it can even be called heinous.

"If you ask why, I can't find a reason to convince you. I can only say that in the year you were born, I experienced that hellish situation firsthand. The city was full of wailing, flesh and blood flying, and as far as the eye could see, nothing but violence and fear could be seen...... Even if your knowledge and ideas are correct, I don't want you to do that kind of demonic thing at a young age......"

Lutga knew that when it came to speaking and giving advice, he couldn't compare to the wise daughter of the 'Ancient Heroic Spirit'. So every word at this time is more like a plea than a rebuke or a teaching.

"Father...... You're just as naïve as Sister Alice. ”

"Perhaps, but Sophia, you need to know - I am still a knight ...... I am retired! Your deceased birth mother is also a knight with justice and glory on her back. Our mission and duty is to use our flesh and blood to forge shields and swords to protect the lives of the people of the Empire. ”

Ironic words, because the knights where the two of them once belonged, the 'Blade of Legends', are playing the role of executioners who drive the people of the empire into the heat of water because of the twisted politics.

"Father, please tell me what I would have done if I were you......"

"I'll go to the imperial capital with you. "But not to provoke a riot, but to personally meet His Majesty the Emperor and seek the help of the Legendary Blade." This time the enemy that threatens us is the 'alien warship'. And the most important problem we should solve is to work together to rescue 'Hilda', isn't it?

Indeed, against an opponent who is even more dangerous and powerful than Raqi a while ago, if he is assisted by the 'Legendary Blade', it will be an unsurpassed combat power. However, Sophia could not agree with her father's idea.

"No, it's too dangerous, it won't go so well, your current identity is not what it used to be, the rebels' 'alliance leader' appeared in the imperial capital openly, I am afraid that he will be arrested in a few seconds, and before he has time to meet His Majesty the Emperor and your former colleagues, you may be mercilessly executed...... Even if you manage to get rescue, you will be held hostage. The so-called partnership is also only temporary. Once the danger is solved, there is no doubt that they will immediately turn against them. Do you want to choose such a high-risk approach?"

"That's right, girl, don't underestimate your dad and the friends that dad trusts...... If you encounter danger in the imperial capital. At this point, Lutga smiled mischievously that didn't fit his age, "My sweet daughter will come to my rescue, won't she?"

“...... Really, irresponsible father. ”

"Who let me have a good daughter?"

Finally, Sophia compromised with a look of 'I really can't help you'. Turning his gaze back to his daughter, who had a genius mind, Lutga continued, "Elize, during the time that Sophia and I are in the imperial capital, will we be able to find the enemy's weaknesses?"

"Uh-huh~~Wrapped up in me, my father~~ Actually, Alize already has a complete plan~~"

With a confident smile, Alize raised her hand and patted the bunny doll on her chest in promise.

"And, Alice. ”

Finally, Lutga turned his gaze to the eldest daughter, Alice, who was looking uneasy.

"Daddy......"

Unlike her sisters, Alice is the one who is the most powerless about the status quo.

She has no knowledge of aliens, and she has no understanding of politics.

She had no time to spare, but experience had taught her that reckless actions would only make the situation worse. I thought that my father would say, 'You stay in the city and don't do anything', but in the end, her father gave words that she didn't expect.

"I want you to think hard and find what you really should be doing. Don't regret what you've done, if you regret it, it just proves that you haven't reached the end of the line and you want to give up. You have to believe that you are full of strength and gentle radiance from top to bottom. In this chaotic age, your existence is like the bright moon that illuminates the night. That's right, just like your mother......"

The young lord's words were full of love and a hint of nostalgia. But when it came to 'Mother', Lutga immediately shook his head and corrected:

"Ah, no, no, that Flora guy is even more messy than you, she's literally the scorching midday sun, shiningly dizzy, hehe...... So, your current personality should be the result of Hilda's education. ”

Alice certainly has no memory of her biological mother, the legendary princess knight 'Flora'. It's just that her father's words seemed to be contagious to her, and a vague figure as bright as the sun appeared in her mind.
