"Ah...... It's Her Royal Highness. Seeing who the source of the voice belonged to, Heliga hurriedly stood up, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Hmm...... Actually, it's nothing. It is...... Lately, it feels like you're ready to do something bold......" Elphin said with some embarrassment. She had tried to ask Rien about them through Elyse's connections, and they just said that all the planning and plotting was done by Helliga and Jusses.

Jusses himself is currently in Balihat, and Alfin naturally can't see it, so she is a little curious and worried, so she can only come and ask what happened to Heliga.

"Bold...... Yes, if you have to say it, it's quite bold. But in reality, as it stands, the danger is not very great. Heliga laughed, "You see none of them think this is going to be dangerous, right?" ”

"yes...... But since the other day, you've been sneaky. Elphin said with some anger, "I just ...... A little worried. ”

"Don't worry." Heliga relieved, "For the sake of secrecy, I can't tell you about this yet...... Soon you'll know what to expect, though. In summary, make those responsible pay for it – that's pretty much it. ”

"You mean...... Keldick's ......? Elphine's eyes were dark—Keldic's fate, which she hadn't been able to witness for some reason, but the gossip, and the grave look on her face when the rest of her companions occasionally talked about it—Elphin wasn't stupid, she had already guessed what was going on.

"Hmm...... Do you already know? Heliga wasn't surprised, either, "What do you mean?" ”

"I heard that this was done by the Confederates in the area of the fortress of Ololos." Elfin was unambiguous, and continued on with the topic led by Heliga, "Therefore, the person you just mentioned who needs to pay for it......"

Elfin hesitated, looking at Helliga with some uncertainty. The latter just smiled and did not speak, and the authority acquiesced.

However, this time, Alfenco couldn't sit still.

"How...... Don't...... You're going to ...... the noble coalition of the Orolos Fortress," Elfin covered her mouth in surprise, "this...... It's too dangerous! That's an army of tens of thousands, and that kind of weapon called a mecha-"

"Ah, Your Highness. While those things are scary, it's not something we need to worry about. Heiliga said, since Elfin himself guessed it, there was no need for him to continue to hide it, "In fact, in this matter, the regular army in the Garelian fortress is fighting against the noble army on the frontal battlefield...... They had finally achieved the current advantage, and naturally they had to fight for a greater advantage before the reinforcements of the noble alliance arrived. But in fact, the aristocratic coalition has already taken a wait-and-see attitude towards the Duke of Elbarea because of this - to put it bluntly, he has been abandoned. From now on, the original resources and public opinion advantage of the Kruchen aristocratic army will also disappear, and the aristocratic alliance will no longer be their backing - their morale will be almost exhausted, in this case, do you think they still have a chance to win? ”

That is to say...... Uncle Craig, they're going to win, aren't they? Elfin thought for a moment and guessed.

"Yes...... That's the point. However, having said that, the Orolos Fortress, after all, exists mainly to defend the Orolos Canyon Road. "According to the original strategic deployment of the Empire, this canyon actually implies the possibility of an invasion by the Republic. Looking at Elfin's serious eyes, Heiliga couldn't continue in a mocking tone, "There is a theoretical possibility for the tank units of the Republic Army to attack Krutchen State from this canyon at any time by borrowing Daurlieb. Of course, this is only a theoretical assumption, but the military strategy deployment of this kind of thing was originally a precautionary measure, just in case. Your Royal Highness, do you remember the geographical relationship between the fortress of Orolos and Balyahat on the map? ”

“…… If I'm not mistaken, the fortress of Ololos seems to be directly east of Balyahat. Elfin saw that Helliga no longer continued to tease herself, but answered her question seriously, and replied seriously.

"Yes......" Heliga nodded, "If the Empire is not defended here, it means that once the Republic launches such a surprise attack, they will directly attack the plains around Balyahat - it will take at least a few hours for the defenders of the Galylian Fortress and the Double Dragon Bridge to feel here, and after breaking through Balyahat, the Republic's army will not have any natural hazards available before reaching the imperial capital." ”

"Ah......h

"Thus, despite being built in an inconspicuous location, the fortress has long been an important military stronghold for the Empire, and its defense has always been the focus of any military consul. What's more, in order to prepare for civil war, Kruchen has been carrying out an arms expansion program for several years. Surrounded by mountains on both sides and a canyon on the other, the fortress can be used flexibly by mechmen, and its façade can echo Balyahat, which would normally be very difficult to take - even if the Garelian fortress looks better at the moment, it can't withstand the tenacity of the fortress of Orolos. ”

"But...... Looks like you've already thought of something about it? Elfin understood why Heliga was saying this—the fortress of Ololos was actually more powerful than he thought, and he probably wanted to say that. So, when he specifically mentions these, it means—

"It's not a solution, is it...... It's just a direct cut off of one of the links, that's all. Heliga pursed his lips, "In the defense system I mentioned to you just now, the "duke" Balihat is an important link - because the northern part of Balihatt is a large rich plain, and it is also one of the most important grain production bases of the empire, and this sufficient production capacity can ensure the supply of food; The forests on the western side of Balyahat are also an important strategic buffer, and the Kruchen army has always maintained a certain number of mixed combat forces, which means that it will be very difficult for anyone to attack at the same time. So what if it was possible to cut off the connection between Balyahat and the fortress of Ololos? ”

"This ......" Elfin was taken aback, then calmed down and said, "In that case, the fortress of Orolos will lose the food resources and strategic depth provided by Balyahat and its surroundings...... At the same time, as a trading city, Balyahat is able to provide a large number of strategic resources, such as metals and Qiyao stone resources that are not produced in Kruchen State......"

"Yes." "In this way, the fortress becomes a lonely house, and there is no need to do anything, and only a long siege is needed to solve all problems." Because of the topography, the fortress does not have exaggerated reserves of food and resources like the Garelian fortress, and it is difficult to sustain such a long war of attrition. Moreover, for the reasons just mentioned, even if it is currently in the midst of a civil war, Lieutenant General Craig is reluctant to directly destroy the fortress of Orolos to the point where it is unusable...... Although the issue of ethnic conflict has also broken out in the republic now, which has caused them a headache for a while, in any case, the empire cannot be casually thrown away in the face of one of the gateways to the republic. Therefore, if that is the case, the two sides will inevitably engage in a long-term tug-of-war with their own concerns, which will be too profound for the national strength of the empire, so I want to find a way to avoid this situation. ”

"So...... What did you think of to convince Baliyahat to join the regular army...... Ah, is it Mr. Jusses? Thinking of Lien's strange and strange movements recently, Elfin suddenly had an answer in his heart.

"yes...... I convinced Jussis to do so. Heiliga replied with some surprise, "He himself judged through some intelligence that the current Crutchen State has lost the support of the noble alliance, and they cannot withstand the offensive of the regular army in the future—although he has a bad relationship with his father, he is essentially a person who has inherited the spirit of the imperial aristocracy, and naturally does not want the people of Kruchen to suffer more damage." Besides, his father's behavior actually made him quite angry, but because of his father's prestige all along, he didn't dare to act rashly. I'm just saying this to you, don't go around preaching it......"

"Don't worry—what Heliga says next, I must assume it doesn't exist." Elfin hurriedly patted his chest and promised.

"Alright then......" Helliga sighed softly—Elfin, a member of the royal family, shouldn't be too much of a problem if he knew this, "what do you think, Duke Elbaria...... For whatever reason, he allowed his men to attack the people of the Empire by allowing his men to attack the Empire, and almost completely destroyed Keldic......" When he heard the four big words "complete destruction", Elfin suddenly felt a pang of pain, "Can such a thing be forgiven by His Majesty Yukent?" ”

“…… From what I know about my father, I'm afraid he will be very angry...... And Uncle Rognar and Uncle Haynes, I'm afraid, will not forgive such behavior. Elfin closed her eyes a little sadly.

"yes...... So, that's what he's aware of as well. After this incident, His Majesty Yukent is bound to be punished for this...... Considering that Lufas was just trying to exonerate himself from the sidelines, the Elbare family was actually doing nothing—and that was why Jusis's actions mattered. ”

"Meaning...... Mr. Jusses wants to show his break with his father and sell face to his father? Elfin understood Heliga's words, "For this reason, he chose to cooperate with the regular army?" ”

"yes." Heliga nodded, "However, I think what really urged him to do so was the aristocratic spirit in his bones and his disapproval of his father's actions - not such utilitarian purposes." I only said this for the purpose of inducing him to make up his mind. Don't get him wrong. ”

"I see...... I understand. With Mr. Jusse's help, Uncle Craig and the others will be able to take control of Crutchen at a much lower cost...... If they are lucky, they may have time to come to the aid of the regular army in Sasharante or Notia, and then the advantage of the war will slowly start to tilt in favor of the regular army. ”

"Hmm...... However, in any case, the liberation of Kruchen can be regarded as a good thing. In this way, Your Royal Highness will be able to move to the Duke's castle and live without worrying about all kinds of problems. Heliga's last words were uttered in a half-joking manner.

"Really...... Am I like the kind of person who still thinks about the squeamishness of his life in this situation? Elphine pretended to be annoyed, "Actually, I've thought about it too...... The empire is plunged into a civil war, although it is the Duke of Kane who has made some conspiracy behind them...... However, the failure of the royal family is also a fact. Cedric, his father, and his mother were all imprisoned by Duke Kane, and I had heard of my brother and the Red Wings fighting the main force of the noble army in the west...... But since I've escaped the capture of the Noble Alliance, I can't just continue to hide. Mr. Heliga. Alfin said in a very calm, but firm tone, "You and Mr. Jussi, as well as everyone in Class VII, must let me participate in this matter." ”

“…… What do you want to do? Instead of agreeing hastily, or damaging Elfin's self-confidence, Helliga said very cautiously, "And you have to think about it carefully - before, the Noble Alliance has actually not paid much attention to your search, and one of the reasons is also because you have not made a public opinion unfavorable to the Noble Alliance. But if you express your support for the regular army in the ensuing war—and your position, and the fact that the false propaganda of the League of Nobles is exposed, will be exposed to the entire empire—then you will be a thorn in their side. ”

"I know...... I thought about the consequences. But it's not just me because I'm a member of the royal family...... All the more because I, like Mr. Jusse, wanted to hold on to the ideals of my own heart. He was not for the good of the nobility, but for the spirit of the nobility, in order not to disgrace his mother - and so did I. I didn't mean to be a hero of the empire or anything...... But I also want to do what I can for the people of the empire with my own ability. I suppose Brother Olibat must have been satisfied with more than just seeing me curled up comfortably in a safe corner. ”

"Her Royal Highness ......"

"So—Mr. Haliga. Allow me to ask again in earnest. Elphine took a deep breath, "Excuse me—is there anything I can do to get involved in this?" ”
