Chapter 349: The Plan to Fight Back

Chelus had known Garnes for a long time, but it was the first time she had actually spoken to Garnes face-to-face like this, and the result of the conversation made Cerus full of disappointment with Sekaria's brother.

Although she also knows that in reality, she should never expect many brothers to really control her sister, but at least as brother and sister, there should be some basic care for each other, right? However, after Garnes was dragged out alone by Cheruth and listened to her quietly explain Sekaria's current situation, Garnes only nodded to his sister's current situation to indicate that he knew, and then seized the fact that Cheruth was able to get in touch with the gray wind in the royal city and began to ask about the situation in the royal city, without showing any of the worried looks about his sister's current state as Cheruth expected.

And after feeling that Cheruth was dissatisfied with his somewhat neglectful attitude towards Sekaria, the prince's answer was also very unpleasant to Cheruth.

“...... I know that I am not a qualified brother, but for the sake of the common people of this country, at least I must be a qualified prince. ”

Cheruth puffed out her face slightly, but didn't say anything more.

Everyone has their own value yardstick in their hearts, everyone has their own beliefs and pursuits, she hopes to be able to protect everyone she values to be happy and safe, but Garnes wants to be an excellent monarch for the benefit of the people and leave a name in history...... Who's right and who's wrong? Anyway, she felt that she had no position to criticize Garnes.

However, a little bit of unhappiness is allowed, right?

Seeing that Cheruth obviously became a little unkind to see him, Garnes smiled bitterly, he was also forced to do so, although there is such a thing as a magic teleportation stone on the continent of Arles, but because the teleportation is not a very mature technology so far, it has not become a practical and popular contact habit when people travel like mobile phones on the earth, so if he goes out, Garnes may take this kind of thing with him, but just outside the city to watch the game like today, Garnes didn't think of bringing the teleportation stone at all, and now it falls to the point where he doesn't know what the situation in the city is, I had to put Sekaria's matter in second place when communicating with Cheruth, and then figure out the current situation first.

Judging from what Cheruth told him, at least the current situation has not progressed to the worst step, although rumors are now rife in the city, and the assassin accomplice who occupied Sekaria's body is still directing the unknown Royal Third Guard to attack the Templar Knights, but at least with the help of the Northland wolf, the father has successfully resisted the siege of Uncle Naris's rebels, and seems to have begun to fight back, as long as the father can repel Uncle Naris's rebels and send the manpower inside the royal city, then whether it is to quell the rumors or to expose the scam of the impostor who took control of Sekaria's body and faked royal orders, the situation can be said to be solved.

Unfortunately, the most crucial step does not seem so easy now.

In the royal city, the royal intelligence department, which was caught off guard by the performance of Naris's rebels at the beginning, has basically resumed most of its operational functions, although because the city gate is still fighting, the high-level intelligence department in the city cannot directly go out of the city to direct the manpower outside the city to guide public opinion, but at least all kinds of information has been transmitted to the royal city.

Naris's rebels, in addition to the original members of the Fort Guard, seem to have the support of another powerful force. If the intelligence department's investigation is correct, it is the Mana family, one of the four major dukes' families of the kingdom, who provides excellent weapons and equipment and battle magicians for the soldiers and magicians of the Guard Fort, and even the most elite magicians in the current rebel army that completely surpasses the magician troops of the royal guard.

Not only that, but the people who are currently spreading rumors everywhere in Alrant City, in addition to Prince Naris's manpower, a considerable part of the manpower is from the Mana family, and even some are from the Wisenlit family, which can't help but make Garnes's heart cold when he knows the situation, the four dukes of the kingdom have always maintained their neutrality in principle in the previous battle for the throne, if this time the two major ducal families of the Mana family and the Wisenlit family openly declare their support for Naris, then even if the father can temporarily stabilize the situation on the royal city, this rebellion will definitely not be suppressed so easily。

Garnes, who heard these things from Cheruth, frowned, although the royal guard launched a counterattack with the help of Helo, but the other side was a combination of the Fort Guards army and the Duke of Mana's private magician group, maybe the Duke of Mana's private soldiers are also lying in ambush as a reserve for the rebels at the moment, in a short time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the army of my father Charles to recapture the main gate of the royal city and send troops out to rectify the situation in the Arlante field.

And he is now just outside the royal city, although there is no royal help around him, it is a bit weak, but he can be regarded as a crown prince, at least if he can successfully ask the remaining two of the four dukes' families to help his father at this time, maybe things will take a big turn.

But the question is whether the remaining two dukely families in the current state can still be as reliable as before? So far, the city has been in chaos like this, but there has never been any news of the other two families' family forces, Garnes can't help but be a little worried about whether this ambiguous attitude of the two families is good or bad, after all, if the other party is actually like the Mana family and the Wisenlit family, and Naris is just a temporary withholding as a backhand, once he personally comes to the door to ask for reinforcements, won't he fall into the net?

Seeing that Garnes was distressed alone, although Cheruth didn't want to deal with this cold-blooded brother who was a little overrational, but when she thought that if anything happened to the current King of Loris and his regime in the future, I was afraid that her side would not be too happy, and the wolf girl had to sigh and speak.

"Your Highness Garnes, things are not as complicated as you think...... Maybe I know something that can help you. ”

"Oh?"

"First of all, if what I know is correct, the Wisenlits may not have been involved in the rebellion against Naris. ”

Chelus said to Garnes.

"You can ask the royal intelligence service to pay attention to the origins of the members of the Visenlit family who are now cooperating with Prince Naris's rebellion in Arrant City, and you may find that most of them will probably be in the name of the Vincent Chamber of Commerce in the name of the Visenlit family...... This chamber of commerce is not as simple as people think. ”

Garnes listened to Cheruth's flickering words and realized a little, he had long seen that today's assassins were probably the legendary Nolans, but because he saw Cheruth first fighting against one of the Nolan assassins in the arena, and then helping Raphael and them in the central arena to clear the siege, Garnes also temporarily believed that Cheruth should be true, just like he had investigated before, and had nothing to do with other Nolans.

But now, it seems that the wolf girl is not as completely unrelated to those things as she thinks...... But fortunately, the other party seems to have no real malice towards his side, at least because of Sekaria's relationship, and can even be regarded as a reliable companion, at most he is just hiding something.

"In addition, there is something about the Mana family, as far as I know, the four major families of the kingdom have always been neutral in the struggle between the current King Loris and Prince Naris, and now, the battle for the throne that has been officially crowned by His Majesty the current King can be said to be basically without suspense, but the Marca family, which has always been so radical, suddenly supports the rebellion of Naris, and when you think about it, you know that there must be something wrong with this. ”

Chelus knew that telling the Vincent Chamber of Commerce would definitely arouse Garnes's suspicions, but she didn't really care, and continued to speak.

"That impostor controlled Edus's body before occupying Sekaria's body, you must know that if we hadn't found Sekaria like this here, we wouldn't have thought and wouldn't know that there would be such a means of controlling and manipulating others similar to soul swapping, then before that, those people of the Mana family would definitely not have thought that their young master had been replaced by another person inside, in this case, as the next head of the Mana family in name and substance, some of Eders' decisions were obviously enough to affect the position of the Mana family。 ”

"But, after all, Eddes is only the identity of the heir of the family, how can he... Can ......"

Garnes said, a look of awakening slowly appeared in his eyes.

Cheruth looked at Garnes and nodded in satisfaction, she still likes to talk to smart people.

"I've heard Sekaria say before that the Duke of Mana was bedridden more than a month ago, and it is said that it was a hidden illness left by the improper way he cultivated magic when he was young......"

...... If the current family is too ill to handle the daily affairs of the family, then there will inevitably be a person with reasonable status to come forward to take charge of the family in place of the head of the family, as the concubine and internal heir of the current head of the family, Duke Mana, there is obviously no obstacle for Edes to become the agent of the head of the family in this situation.

Garnes had already understood what Cheruth meant.

In other words, it is very likely that the Mana family's decision to help Naris is now the imposter who now controls Sekaria's body and pretends to pass on royal orders, and as long as the true identity of the impostor can be exposed, then the Mana family is likely to withdraw their help to Naris...... But how are we going to expose him? The real Edus's soul doesn't know where it was got by this fake Eddes a month ago, and if he just finds the people of the Mana family and tells them these things without any evidence, the other party won't believe it at all, right?"

Cheruth glanced at Garnes, this person usually has a very good IQ, why is he so stupid today.

"Your Highness, have you received any news of the death of the current Duke of Mana in the past month?"

The assassin associate who took control of Edus's body wanted to get hold of all the resources of the Mana family as soon as possible to serve their plans, so for him, the Duke of Mana, as Edus's father and the current head of the Mana family, would obviously be the most obstructive existence.

However, the other party obviously knew that if he rashly killed this Duke of the Kingdom, who was only in his fifties, and had never had any serious illness, in order to ascend the throne, he would definitely cause some unnecessary trouble. Therefore, according to Cheruth's analysis, the other party must have somehow put the Duke of Mana in a state of "serious illness" and unable to deal with family affairs - such as poison or some kind of curse - and then he began to control the voice of the Mana family as an agent.

Then, if you want to overturn the series of instructions issued by this impostor in the Mana family, as long as you can wake up the old Duke of Mana, who was assassinated by him to the point of "serious illness", then everything will be solved.

In the end, Chyruth and Garnes finalized the plan, and there are not many people who can be trusted and used here, Garnes decided to go to the Duke's Mansion of Mana with the Holy Jenny, with his current personal guards and the few Templars brought by Zarko, considering that they are likely to be attacked by the other party's full force when they appear in the Duke's Palace before the old Duke of Mana is rescued, Garnes also asked the six-star Astro Master of the Space Department who came with them to accompany him, which is an extra layer of strength guarantee。

On the other side, Xia Li gathered four teammates including Getajielis, who were responsible for escorting Sekaria's soul, which had been replaced in Edus's body, back to the vicinity of the royal city to join Harrow. Sekaria's soul was replaced, and only Cheruth, Xia Li and Garnes knew about it, so they only thought that they were going to escort Edus, a useless son, and Gettajielis and the others were not very emotional, but after seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Garnes come to ask them in person, the little dissatisfaction of several people disappeared and accepted this arrangement.

Cheruth and Nanoha were in charge of going to the Royal City Post House to "catch" Sekaria's body back, and at the same time help stop the battle between the royal guards and the Knights Templar if possible, Raphael volunteered to go with the two of them, considering that the Saint-in-Candidate was a wind mage with a good ability to run, and the identity of the other party helped to appease the Knights of the Templar, so Cheruth agreed to take her.

In addition, the bear child Robert came up with a rare good idea, as the youngest son of the Duke of Luther, he asked to take the initiative to return home to explain the situation to his father and ask his father to contribute to the royal family, considering that if the Duke of Luther can express his position at this time, it will be very beneficial to the situation, Chelus and Garnes agreed with Robert's opinion after thinking about it, and decided to let these teammates of the Lorris freshman team plus another temporary transfer of the Dou Qi Master level Dou Qi teacher accompany Robert back to the Duke of Luther's Palace。

As for the others, although a certain alternate Son would also like to go over with the three of them "as the second Flame Son, do their part for Solan" , but the wolf girl who was exposed to the master-level vindictiveness threw it on the sofa in the lounge with one hand and then justifiably refused because of her lack of strength, and let the contestants of the three academies of Solan Academy, Meteor Castle and Digakar stay here to wait, after all, these students are important guests, and no matter how you say it, you can't let them encounter any danger easily.

After assigning their tasks, the four teams immediately set off, leaving the arena and speeding in four directions within the city of Arrant. (To be continued.) )
