When Ryan and Miltio entered McDowell's living room, Diana, who had not seen each other for a few days, had already changed into the simple clothes she had previously changed into a noble-style dress that suited her identity.

Aurelia was drinking on the sofa with a red wine bottle and a glass. Judging from the amount of the remaining portions in the bottle, it seemed that she had already drunk nearly one bottle alone.

‘As sure as Brigadier General Wares said, a huge amount…’

Ryan's mouth twitched slightly, and he saluted Diana politely with his chest.

"I'm glad to go back with you, Ms. Diana, are you doing well these days?"

Diana nodded with a graceful smile on her face, "Thank you for your concern. My father and Ellie are very happy to see me back. Ellie has indeed grown into a big girl, and she is becoming more and more like me when I was young."

Ryan smiled and handed out a social compliment, "Where is Ms. Diana saying anything, you still look young now."

Diana chuckled and shook her head, "Thank you, Mr. Kane for your praise, I'll take it seriously."

"Elie has not been alienated from me because of my escapism for so many years. I am already very grateful to her, just..."

Diana frowned slightly, "Why did Ellie choose a wanted criminal as her boyfriend? This is always hard for me to understand."

"Forehead……"

Ryan scratched his head awkwardly. "Officer Royd has not always been a wanted criminal. He is the hero of Crossbear. The title of this wanted criminal was only forced to be placed on his head by Prime Minister Osborne."

"never mind."

Diana smiled bitterly and said, "I can see Ellie's feelings, let her go, I just hope that she has a better view of people than me."

It can be seen from Diana's words that she is still resentful of her ex-husband who abandoned her wife and daughter and fled back to her hometown.

Miltio came to Aurelia while Ryan and Diana were greeting each other. The strong smell of red wine made her frown and cover her nose.

“Haha~”

Aurelia put the last little red wine into her mouth in a funny way, and tactfully pushed the wine glass and bottle to the center of the coffee table, indicating that she would not drink it again.

"Sorry, I didn't expect you to come so early. I just drink a bottle of red wine in the morning to refresh myself."

‘A bottle of red wine refreshes…’

Miltio pinched his eyebrows helplessly, "General, let's talk about business, what's the situation with Closebell?"

“Not optimistic.”

Speaking of the serious matter, Aurelia immediately corrected her face. "The new interim governor is not familiar with Close Bale, and it is difficult to suppress the situation. If the old speaker had not tried hard to help him maintain the situation, and the regular army was stationed in this front-line city, what would have happened to Close Bale... Many people could guess."

"However, this superficial balance has its limits. Although people's opposition has been suppressed by relying on high pressure, this method can treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Once the dissatisfaction reaches the critical point, there will always be a day of explosion."

When talking about military and political affairs, Diana consciously left the living room using the excuse of pouring tea.

Ryan also sat opposite Aurelia and asked solemnly, "How is Royd and the others' situation? Have the new class seven arrived?"

"Yes, according to the intelligence of the rebel forces, the four new squad have already inserted wedges in the center of the wetlands with weak defenses, and are now operating with the spy support Coke and Levitt."

"Um……"

Ryan thought a little about it, "Time doesn't wait for anyone, be ready to start."

"Leaded by Royd and Randy, who are supporting Co., Ltd., the new 7th class will join them in the underground space to capture the attention of the Orchid Tower."

"Teo and Yona use the prepared high-performance guide terminals to break through the orchid tower's guide network protection to provide support to Royd and others."

"General Aurelia, you will follow them and help if you encounter something they cannot solve."

"yes!"

Ryan turned to look at his cousin beside him, "Miltilu, let's go to the support building to join Teo and the others. You will be responsible for directing the orchid tower's strategy and providing necessary assistance to your classmates."

"Okay, brother."

...

When Ryan and the other two secretly arrived at the Support Department building, the new Class 7 and the Special Support Department had gathered here, and Dudley and Claya, who were full of melancholy temperament, were also standing aside.

The Support Department's guidance terminal also displays many real-time communication avatars, including many people Ryan knows.

For example, the Donobon Police Inspector of the Second Division, Sonia Belz, Commander-in-Chief of the Crossbel Local Army, Noel Hicka, who was formerly affiliated with the Support Division, and Fran Hicka, who served as the Support Division liaison officer.

"Miltilu!"

When Elyshe saw Ryan and the other two arrive, he took a few steps and grabbed Miltio's hand.

"You kid... still don't say anything, and you've prepared such a huge lineup quietly."

“Hohu~”

Miltio hugged Elyshe gently, "Senior Elliez said it was wrong. This time it was not my preparation, but my dear brother was planning behind the scenes. I was just a command tower and a transfer station."

"ha……"

Yuna rubbed her forehead with a headache, "I wonder why our actions in diving into the wetlands were so smooth. It turns out that Mr. Ryan had already asked Senior Royd and the others to arrange everything."

Ryan shrugged and said, "Prepare for the future, I didn't expect to return to Closebell so soon."

"alright."

Ryan clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention.

"I believe everyone should know the current situation of the Erebonian Empire."

"Due to the release of the National General Mobilization Law, people from all over the country were unscrupulously levied heavy taxes, a large number of young and strong laborers were forced to join the army to receive training for recruits for only more than a month, and branch factories in various parts of the RF Group are also working overtime to produce weapons."

"Our motherland has completely started the potential for war, and of course, the same is true of the Kalwad Republic."

"If this continues, this huge war will sooner or later completely drag down the entire Sisemlia continent. We must find a way to end it before the war has devastating consequences."

Royd nodded solemnly, "I agree that if this battle starts, it will definitely not be just a conflict between the two major powers."

"The Iron Blood Prime Minister has clearly issued an ultimatum to other countries and autonomous prefectures. If the Ereboni Army does not provide a route to advance, all countries will be regarded as supporting Kalwad by him."

Ryan looked around everyone present, including those who communicated in real time in the guidance terminal, and everyone's expressions were very serious.

"This war is not just a world war on the surface. It has a close connection with the inner world of the empire."

"I won't go into details here. In short, the front-line city of Closebell will undertake the most important task."

"Dong"
