Path of The Dragonborn

"Keldic was attacked?"

When Heilijia shakes Lien and the others from sleep, they are more or less dissatisfied because their sleep is disturbed. However, when they heard Heliga's explanation, they were totally exhausted in an instant.

By the way, Emma was notified as soon as possible because Serenu-cats are used to moving at night, so in fact, she almost listened to the conversation between Heliga and Alfin and others. Therefore, the important task of waking Emma is naturally his.

"Well...According to the current intelligence, it should be the noble coalition. Although I don't know the specific reason for this... But according to the intelligence, Keldic has been basically razed to the ground. The prosperous town has become ruins..."

"Why..." "What a heinous atrocities..." Emma and Macias were angry.

"This is really... I didn't expect that your lord would actually do this kind of thing." Special Olympics also had an unexpected expression on the side. The movements of the people naturally awakened him as the host, and he was listening. He was also very surprised after Heiligar’s description, “Although Grand Duke Helmut has various character problems, he doesn’t seem to be someone who would do such a stupid thing... After this incident, I’m afraid...”

"What is your opinion?" Heliga asked seriously. He already has some ideas about the next situation in Kruchen State, but he needs further confirmation. Although Special Olympics has already faded out of the social circle, it is precisely because of this that his judgment on the situation of the empire is more objective and not influenced by the camp, so he was praised by Olibat. If one's own thoughts can coincide with those of Baron Teo, it means that he has a chance to act this time.

"Although I don't have conclusive evidence... but if I were Duke Kane, I would definitely try my best to get rid of the relationship with Duke El Barrea at this moment." Teo didn't seem to know what Heliga was thinking, but honestly Speaking of his own judgment, "First of all, no matter how powerful the aristocratic alliance is, it is unheard of to send troops to destroy their own territory. This is not in line with the tradition of the empire, and it does not conform to the modern version of the constitution. , Even the Noble Alliance can’t cover it. Secondly, for the casualties caused by Kel Dick, the Elbarea family must calculate and compensate, and come to the door to apologize. This is also a very troublesome task. The other members of the Noble Alliance will definitely not Will be willing to bear something wrong because of this. Moreover, even if the form of the noble alliance is now very good, they have not achieved complete advantage and victory. If the reformers have the last laugh, then this completely violates the law and common sense. , It will inevitably be severely punished."

"So, your opinion is that the Noble Alliance will deliberately alienate the Duke of El Barea because of this matter?" Heliga asked.

"Um... Alienation, this is the at least thing to do. If possible, they might choose to remove the Duke of El Barrea from the Noble Alliance-but as far as I know, the current El The eldest son of the Duke of Barrea, Rufas served as the general staff at the command center of the Noble Alliance. Considering his existence, the Noble Alliance should not do too much, but the attitude is certain. And, I think this The incident also confirmed from the side that the Duke of El Barrea had a disadvantage in the battle with the regular army in the Galeria fortress. As a result, a series of follow-up problems were not what I could predict."

"It's a reasonable analysis." Macchias' eyes lit up, and Teo's words made him very agree. "Moreover, the defenders of Garelia Fortress should be involved in disaster relief after learning about this. Work, and it is even possible to receive Keldyk to deliver supplies for them. In this way, the unbreakable situation of the noble alliance has been opened in Kruchen State-if the Fourth Mech Division can find a way to communicate with other places If the regular army completes a strategic rendezvous--"

"Moreover, there is a problem behind this matter...that is the attitude of the Marquis of Haynes. Since the beginning of the Civil War, he has always been in a more passive combat attitude than others. This may be the same as that of others. The strength of the regular army in Sacharante State is not strong, but I think it is more because he is still in the strategic wait and see, and he has concerns and does not take further actions. This matter is bound to shake the Marquis of Haynes. Although the Marquis de Rogner is very active in fighting at present, he is essentially a royalist, plus a person with aristocratic spirit, so he must be very resistant to this matter. If it is not handled well, it will hurt these two. The heart of a nobleman." Heliga continued, "And, I remember that Duke Kane himself doesn't like Duke Albarea very much, right?"

"Hmm... I heard that the two of them have been vying for the dominance of the noble alliance army. Although Duke Elbarea is not an opponent at all, it is also annoying to be entangled in big and small conspiracies." Baron Teo said with a smile.

"Yes... So, taking this opportunity, he might also push him to push the Duke of El Barrea completely out of it under the pretext of unfavorable civil war and illegal behavior... For this reason, even if you let Pakistan Liahart is temporarily dominated by the Fourth Mech Division, and it does not hesitate to do so." Heliga said.

"Is it necessary to achieve this level?" Although Macias understands politics, he doesn't understand strategy. In his opinion, let the Fourth Mech Division take control of Bariahat and want to retake it. I am afraid it will be difficult.

"No...maybe this is a better flaw." Li En shook his head. "Occupying the city will make the soldiers of the Fourth Mech Division mentally slack. Besides, for now, Bariahat It is still a city belonging to the nobles. If nothing is dealt with after the occupation, I am afraid it will not be good. Therefore, some soldiers will be stationed in the city. No matter what, the interior of the city is not as strong as the Galeria Fortress. Yes. In a sense, being able to disperse the forces of the Fourth and Fifth Mecha Divisions and emerge from the unbreakable fortress is also a kind of lead out of the hole."

"Yeah... The best thing is that if you do this, the soldiers of the 4th Mecha Division can only come out, and you can't leave the city completely ignored. Unless the local nobles are willing to help them... But Helmu Both Te and Rufas would definitely not do this."

"But, for now, isn't Uss still still?" Emma asked.

"Yeah... he is here. But he is nominally the second son of the El Barrea family, and the control of Kruchen State is also behind the two. If you want him to be in power, then his The father must lose power for some reason, and his brother has to express his stance to give up this right. I really can’t think of a situation where the two can happen at the same time, especially for the latter, Rufas shouldn’t be necessary. Do this."

"Yeah... if Duke Helmut is really unsuitable to take charge of the territory because of this matter, it must be his brother with higher prestige and ability to come back to clean up the situation. Anyway, the battle in the west is easier now. Duke Kane shouldn’t embarrass him on such an important issue.” When Macias commented that Euses was not as good as Rufas, his tone was calm, and he didn’t mean to deliberately get angry. “And maybe he will let Lu take advantage of it. Fath takes over the affairs of Kruchen State. If Rufas can succeed, not only will his reputation in the Noble League rise further, but Kane will take the opportunity to sell to others..."

"It's better to get the support of Rufas, the most influential person among the young aristocrats of the empire." Heiligar finished speaking for Macias. "This is really a good calculation. If that's the case, Elba The Rhea family’s status in the Noble Alliance will be further improved—but Juss’s father will become a victim.”

"But... if you do this, isn't it the same as pushing your father into the fire pit?" Emma wondered. "The brother of Euses doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"It's hard to say... and no matter how this involves the conspiracy and position of the nobles, Kruchin State will be a little confused because of this. It is for sure. If Duke Kane really has this idea, it would be a trick to get rid of it. Coupe-just before that, we have to take care of the current affairs first."

"Yeah...If you can, I should go to Keldic now." Macias suddenly remembered that the most important thing at the moment is that the situation in Trading Town should be confirmed, "Then we..."

"It's very troublesome." Heliga smacked his lips. "I didn't expect this kind of thing, so I forgot to set up the teleportation method before I left... Although there are spare scrolls with me, I can guide His Royal Highness Alfin or Ellie. Xie assisted, but I think it’s difficult to take us away all at once with their two skills..."

"If this is the case..." Serenu, who had been hiding by the side, said at this time, "Why don't you try to see how the riding **** functions? After a day of spiritual recovery, if it's just a few of you, I think it should questionable."

"God riding? You mean Valima?" Li En was stunned.

"Could it be that the God of Mounting takes us back? Although the speed may be fast enough, it feels... difficult to accept." Not to mention the cold wind and air pressure changes during rapid advancing, but the speed of Mounting God itself, without any In the case of shock absorption and buffering, it is enough to make people feel uncomfortable-especially for people like Macias who have no martial arts and physical foundation.

"No...Even me, I wouldn't make such a stupid suggestion. In fact, the "riding god" has the ability to open the way of the elves-it can be triggered when the spiritual power is sufficient. Of course, the launch location must be the node of the spirit vein. "

Serenu then briefly explained the principle of the way of spirits-it turned out that the riding **** can resonate with the intersection of his own and spiritual veins, thereby opening a channel that ignores space and can quickly shuttle at the intersection of spiritual power. This kind of power requires a lot of spiritual power, and can only be activated at the intersection of spiritual veins. After Serenu escorted Li En back to the town before, she also checked the surrounding area of ​​the town and found that there was a suitable place near the snowy road near the town.

"As for the destination...I think the open space in the depths of Lunarria Natural Park should be very useful." Heliga understood, "When I used the directional teleportation, I also used the spiritual power there as magic power. Stabilizer."

"Lunaria Natural Park... It happens to be very close to Keldyk." Lien decided, "We were there when we first practiced."

"If that's the case... let's do it. Serenu, you and Li En will help the riding **** open the way of that elves. I will find a way to rush over." Heliga said quickly, "Although it is very abrupt, but I think that the "Way of the Elves" of the riding **** may not be able to send me. "

"...That's true." Serenu looked at Heliga. "The power in you can't seem to be recognized by the power of the elves and resonates--Speaking of which, I've long wanted to ask, what the **** is this? "

"Don't worry about it now." Heliga said eagerly. "Anyway, if I'm alone, I have a way to go back quickly-you guys too. Let's try to meet at Keldic before noon today."

"Really...Father, he did this." Rufas said calmly, as if he was talking about something trivial.

"Yeah... Master Rufas." The old housekeeper Arnold pleaded-early this morning, he hurriedly found an excuse to return to the home of the Duke of Ballahart, and went directly beyond his authority. Contacted Rufas, "You think of a way—Master did such a thing, I..."

"Mr. Arnold, you have to know that father's actions like this are inevitable no matter how to deal with the aftermath." Lufas said calmly, "I think you should know that this kind of thing will affect the image and public opinion of the noble alliance. The pressure and internal unity have had much impact-although Duke Kane and the others don’t know about it yet, do you think they will just ignore it?"

"But... but you are the one that Kane trusts most..."

"These are two different things-Arnold, you remember-my father may have been sitting in the Duke's seat soon. If you still want to believe me... During this time, rely more on Eusses."

"I naturally believe in Master Euses, but..."

"No—not to believe, but to trust without reservation." Rufas corrected. "And... don't over expect any help from me here."

"You... do you mean..." The old butler was taken aback, that face that had been pale because of the recent overwork, turned into a fiasco in an instant.

"Well...in a short time...no, for a foreseeable long time, I won't bother about the El Barrea family....this time...is the beginning."
