Chapter 507: Peace Before the War

Not only Ryan, but after hearing this name, many of the nobles present showed contempt on their faces.

Ryan playfully knocked the vast territory of Kruchen State on the map with his baton, "had the second largest territory of the empire, and the Duke of Elbarrea has the number of territorial troops second only to Lamar State."

"Although..." Ryan glanced at Lufas, "A part of the elite were drawn out to sit around the imperial capital and watch the turbulent winds, but the current record of Kluqinzhou is really unsatisfactory."

Ryan slapped the baton in the palm of his left hand twice, and said with a smile on his face, "I heard that Duke Elbarrea is going to use Lieutenant General Craig's daughter to threaten him to surrender. I really want to know who gave him this stupid idea."

"Ahem..."

Lufas coughed awkwardly, "This... is my father's own decision. I don't agree with his approach. It not only damages the noble's face, but also with Lieutenant General Craig's personality... I'm afraid it won't work."

"Hmph~" Ryan said with a light snorting, "I have obtained reliable information from some channel. Red Winged Carrejas has rushed to the eastern state of Kluchen and is discussing plans with Lieutenant General Craig to rescue Fiona Craig and capture the Double Dragon Bridge."

"Based on my understanding of the Torz NCO Academy, they will definitely launch an airborne assault on the Shuanglong Bridge Fortress with the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ryan used his baton to draw a circle on the position of the Shuanglong Bridge. "The God of Gray is the arrow to break out. As long as the main force of the Leading Army is attracted to the front line by the Fourth Mecha Division, the infiltrating team with more outstanding combat capabilities can successfully penetrate into the fortress."

After Ryan took back his baton, a trace of undetectable light flashed in his eyes. "General Staff Lufas, Kluchen State is the territory of the Elbarrea family. I will leave it to you and Elbarrea Gong in the Battle of Shuanglong Bridge."

"I don't ask how you plan to deal with the situation on the scene. I just need the result, and the Shuanglong Bridge Fortress will never fall."

Lufas smiled and bowed, "I understand. I will personally lead the Eastern Guards to fight, and I will definitely not let down the expectations of the noble league for the Elbarea family."

Imperial Capital Hall, in the temporary government office

Marquis Recon asked with some concern, "Commander-in-Chief, is it really okay to hand over the east to Lufas?"

Ryan took a sip of green tea in his hand, "It's okay, under such a general trend, Lufas can't make any storms. I believe he is a person who cherishes his life and will not jump out to rebel at such an inappropriate opportunity."

Earl Earl Eagle also agreed and said, "The noble alliance has firmly controlled the situation. Lufas will not reveal his true identity until the reformists make a move that they think is enough to turn the tables."

Ryan walked to the window and looked at the vast Heimdal city and sighed softly, "We have done everything we need to do, and now we can only wait for the chess player behind the scenes to make a move."

As the civil war approached, the front lines of all sides were concentrated in several key towns, and most other towns in the empire had basically returned to peace.

Heimdal, the capital that was first occupied by the noble alliance, had long restored its former vitality under the governance of Ryan and his advisory team.

However, the war has not ended completely for the day, and the people will always be worried about it.

Most ordinary people will not care whether the aristocrats or reformists are in power. They will only care about their own vital interests. Whoever comes to power will be good for them, they will support whom.

Judging from the current situation in Heimdal, the management of the aristocratic faction is not as bad as some reformists rumored, and basically maintained the living standard of Mayor Regniz when he was in office.

At the same time, although the reformists strongly advocated that the aristocrats put the emperor under house arrest, Yukent III's public statement was still recognized by many people.

After returning from Closebell yesterday, Ryan received a request from Princess Elphin.

She wanted to hold a public speech in the imperial capital Sankt region to further appease the anxiety and concerns of the people of Heimdal due to the war.

Although some nobles were worried that Princess Elphin would make statements that were unfavorable to the nobles in public, Ryan still waved his hand to agree to His Royal Highness's request.

Based on his knowledge of Elphin, the princess, who was raised by Olibart, was not stupid, but was very smart.

She would not deliberately sing a counter-topic in such a situation where aristocratic alliance controls the general trend, otherwise it would be meaningless except for extending the civil war that was already approaching the end.

Moreover... Princess Elphin herself has a bad impression of Prime Minister Osborne. The iron-blooded Prime Minister who was too powerful made the gentle and kind princess feel a little resistant in her subconscious.

On December 21, when the fronts of the Noble Alliance began to make final preparations for the general offensive two days later, Princess Elphin appeared in front of the public on behalf of the royal family for a long time.

The St. Astralia Women's College, originally located in Sankt, has been suspended due to the civil war. This time, Princess Elphin gave a speech in the square in front of her alma mater.

Ryan did not follow the side openly, but he was watching Princess Elphin, who was smiling and greeting the cheering people from afar below the ramp.

Ryan pressed the short Qiya around his neck, and Yurixia held Yartina with awkward look in her arms. The four people in simple clothes mixed into the crowd like a family of four traveling.

"Well~" Qiya looked at Elphin with bright golden hair, lowered her head curiously and asked her adoptive father, "Lian, Princess Elphin is a little different from the last time we met. It seems...a little mature?"

Ryan fixed Qiya's legs to her chest, trying not to let the overly active little girl fall off her neck.

After hearing Qiya's comment, Ryan said funnyly, "Do you little guy know what maturity means? Could it be that you are using words randomly?"

"Hmm!"

Qiya rubbed her father's hair unhappily, "Lian is bad-hearted, Qiya learns things very quickly!"

Yartina half-opened her eyes in Lixia's arms, looking at Qiya who was acting coquettishly with an unhappy look on her face. "It's really a childish temper. It's really a shame that Lord Reinhardt is willing to tolerate your willfulness."

"Little rabbit, what did you say!"

ā€œI’m talking about the facts.ā€

Ryan smiled bitterly and looked at Lixia. The two little guys seemed to be born with disagreements in their horoscopes, and often they would start to quarrel with each other within two sentences.

The lively and cheerful Qiya usually has some advantages in verbal battles, but the taciturn Yartina has a very talent for toxic tongues. She often makes Qiya's face red with a simple comment or two.

Ignoring Kiya's protests dancing around Ryan's neck, Yartina calmly turned her gaze to Ryan.

"Lord Reinhardt, Lufasqing summoned me to the front line of Kluchen State, and he hoped that I could have some inhibitory effect on the aerial reconnaissance of Miliam Olein."

"Oh?" This was the first time Ryan heard this news. He was stunned for a moment and frowned and thought, "Is that guy sure that Yartina can't find the key information from me?"

Ryan looked at Yartina with some concern, "Is it okay? Miriam should be your sister, right? You want to fight her..."
