Vol 2 Chapter 1142: Scrutiny and surprise

In the imperial capital, Heimdall, the meeting room of the former "Railway Gendarmerie" has been taken over by the League of Nobles after the beginning of the civil war, and it has been temporarily transformed into a place for "protecting" some high-ranking reformers and political figures. Due to the need of political propaganda, some of the central figures in the reformists, such as Chief Regnitz and others, were not treated so roughly-the chief of the imperial capital was arranged to serve the emperor in the imperial palace, such as the "Emperor Bank" Among them, senior directors who are biased towards reformers are only placed under house arrest in their homes to limit their misrepresentation. However, for those who are less important, such as ordinary employees in the Imperial City Hall, and middle-level people from all walks of life who are biased towards reformers-if some of them incites some dissatisfaction afterwards, they may be accused of They were sent to the cell of "TMP" under the name of cooperating with the investigation.
However, even though the cells of the "Railway Gendarmerie" were luxuriously repaired, they were still cells after all. After the situation stabilized a little, the nobles who had some leeway released these people, although they were free from a series of stringent "conditions", such as the prohibition of media interviews and their own property. You must also obtain the permission of the official from the nobility side when dealing with it, and so on.
In other words, they are still in a state of house arrest, and they have almost no channels to learn from the outside world. Two months have passed since these days, but on this evening at the beginning of the new year, someone unexpectedly visited them. Moreover, the identity of this person seems to many people to be very unexpected-that is, the chief of staff of the Noble Alliance Army, the right-hand man of the bandit leader Kane, and the eldest son of the El Barrea family, Lufas. El barea.
Facing these reformist members either surprised or thoughtful expressions, Rufas didn't say much, but with a calm smile, he put forward a series of conditions-in general, Duke Kane promised them the generous high-ranking officials, as well as the comfort of these minions after the death of Prime Minister Osborne. Afterwards, Rufas did not answer the doubts of these people, but quietly watched these people split and began to quarrel-one part wanted to agree to the compromise conditions of Kane and join his subordinates to serve, the other part It is still unable to maintain the identity of Princess Kane, and insists on inheriting the will of the Prime Minister.
Such quarrels lasted for several hours-during this period, Rufas only quietly ordered the servants to prepare tea, coffee and cakes for these reformist "captives", and did not comment on any of their claims. However, there are still some people who are interested in seeing it-Rufas actually seems to be looking at them with a certain mood of scrutiny and evaluation, as if to figure out which of them is more valuable. Seeing this, those who were moved by the big cake painted by Kane again acted harder, hoping that they would be able to attract the attention of the most trusted man of the aristocratic leader.
At this moment in the middle of the night, Rufas got up from his seat leisurely, and said coldly that he would consider the demands and opinions of some aspiring ones among them, and relay them to Duke Kane truthfully-after that, he commanded him The soldiers brought by his men sent these key reformists back to their residences and rested well.
"Director of Imperial Bank, Executive President of Crest Chamber of Commerce, Minister of Water Conservancy of Imperial Capital Hall... Ha ha. Your vision is still as precise as ever..." Lufas, who walked out of the "TMP" prison, walked alone in a deserted street On; the soldiers on the inspection saw Rufas’s figure and immediately saluted in place respectfully. He only responded instinctively with a cold and alienated greeting, and in his heart he was thinking that the prime minister left for His mission.
"In short, confirm that these people are still usable and loyal... That's it. As for the guys who show goodwill to the olive branch extended by Duke Kane, how to deal with... It's up to you to decide for yourself." No recording equipment was used, no notes or the like were used-Lufas so clearly engraved his few hours of observation into his mind. He looked at his watch-it happened to be just a quarter of an hour past one o'clock in the morning.
"It seems...that thing is about to begin...before Duke Kane begins to mess around, I'd better take care of everything. Although it is necessary to clean up the mess in the imperial capital, since you have said it all , If he is in charge..." Rufas shook his head, and drove away the stray thoughts in his heart, "It's really interesting... Except for how your Lord came back from death, I don't know anyhow... …He should be the person with the most puzzles. It seems that after the war, even your Excellency will not be able to avoid a head-on conflict with him and the prince’s faction..."
"Rufas General Staff." At this time, a voice pulled his thoughts back to reality-it was the aristocratic driver who brought him here.
"Thank you... let's go to the airport."
"But..." The driver was taken aback, "Duke Kane has ordered that you will go to the palace to meet him later..."
"You need to be adaptable to things. Especially those who use their brains like me." Rufas said kindly, "Because the reformists say something I care about, so I need to go back and investigate temporarily. Your Excellency is with me. Since I will explain with him, you don’t have to worry about taking responsibility for it."
"Yes." Listening to Lufas's words, the driver has nothing to say. He opened the rear left door of the limousine for Rufas, and after confirming that the latter had been seated securely, he turned back to the driver's seat. Then, on the quiet streets of the imperial capital, there was a harsh roar of the guiding force engine.

"Did you see that way?" Heliga pointed to the high platform of the building not far away, "There is the main hall of the Li Palace...The emperor usually stays there, but at night, it should be there 80 square feet on the left. If everything goes well, we only need to get there to see your majesty, the imperial concubine, and Chief Regnitz."
"But around the palace..." Levi raised his head and looked around carefully, "Is it because of the commotion in the center of the imperial capital, so I was awakened...the number of people seems a little abnormal."
"It's the same in many ways." Heliga sighed. "It seems that they had never expected all of this... and they are in a panic right now. In this case, if we say it's all Kane What do you think of the matter that the public has done, let them ask the Kane public prosecutor together to inquire about it?"
"It's not easy...These people should be the confidants of Kane's men. Not to mention their ability, they are naturally incomparable in terms of loyalty." Levi shook his head, denying the possibility of being more idealistic. The solution, "Even if they have any doubts about this, they should instinctively want to get an explanation from Kane... and will not listen to strangers' instigation."
"It's true... but things have reached this point. If we kill a way to get in, it's a bit too ugly. If possible, it's better to kill fewer compatriots in the empire." Heliga recognized Levi's judgment. "In that case...Let’s change it. Even if they are very loyal to Duke Kane, they shouldn’t slam into it in the face of overwhelming power."
Levi did not speak, but responded with actual actions. He skilfully jumped behind a stone pillar in the maneuvering passage leading to the palace, and then forcefully threw a grenade to the grass fifty square meters away.
"Who? Enemy attack!" The soldiers who heard the explosion of grenade reacted like frightened birds. Almost all of their eyes were aimed at the source of the noise, near the bush where the grenade detonated. Only a few people who looked like high-ranking officers did not look around like the soldiers with headless flies, but keenly looked at the high ground, the distance and the sky where they were.
The reason is also very simple-the Li Palace was built in a small gorge near the imperial capital. In addition to the beautiful scenery, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the action is initiated from the land, then only from the direction of the main entrance can be penetrated-no matter how elite the mecha division, it will also suffer considerable losses. Therefore, after many evaluations, they unanimously determined that if the regular army intends to rescue His Majesty, it must have come from the air-so that it can bypass the heavily guarded main entrance and directly attack the depths of the palace.
However, the movements of Heliga and Levi are even more bizarre. They appeared directly on the cliff on the outermost layer of the Li Palace through the teleportation array, and then condescendingly examined the layout of the Li Palace. At present, it seems that there are about 80 soldiers distributed in the palace and courtyard. According to Levi's previous survey, there are nearly 300 guards guarding the winding passage leading to the palace.
Therefore, what they need to deal with is only the dozens of soldiers in the courtyard of the palace, who are not ready for battle.
