After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

After making a joke that had nothing to do with today's topic, the atmosphere in the room gradually became solemn.

Everett's orange eyes stared into Scott's green ones:

"After the jokes are over, it's time to face reality."

After the crown prince put away the sketchbook, he placed his hands on his knees, straightened his back and asked the veteran on the battlefield opposite him:

"Scott. How serious is the war in the north that Haines concealed with his rhetoric?"

This time, Everett invited Scott to the Crown Prince's Palace to discuss issues related to the Northern War:

Before this, as Haines' power grew, they declared everywhere that "Impres, who are responsible for the imperial force, can resolve the war" in order to gain more faith.

The nobles who were used to living a peaceful life did not take the war seriously.

But just a few years ago, when Everett suddenly fell ill and planned to go to the north to recuperate, he heard people in the north talking about the countless deaths and injuries in the war.

The crown prince, who had just recovered from a serious illness, disguised himself as an ordinary corporal and sneaked to the border to observe, but he saw the miserable situation on the battlefield:

The air was filled with smoke and flames. Corpses were lying in all directions. The living were covered in fresh blood and dirt. The strong smell of blood filled the air, making people feel nauseous and suffocated.

His face was filled with shock at the time - this was the true meaning of what Haines meant by "everything is fine".

What nonsense!

Thinking back to the years when Impess was struggling, the nobles were divided into two factions, one was the "war faction" that advocated resistance, and the other was the "compromise faction" that advocated comfort.

Most of the southern nobles were compromisers, and they all held the position of "don't act rashly for the sake of peace in the south". They would rather cede the north to Orenden after the defeat than spend their own money to help Impes.

In their opinion, it was the best thing that could happen if the entire Impes family was wiped out.

Most of the "war factions" were northern nobles and nobles at the junction of the north and the south. Because they had personally experienced or even heard the truth of the war, when Impes stepped forward to resist, they really tried their best.

"Uh..."

Scott's green eyes were full of confusion.

After all, Everey was the emperor's only child, and he had a heavy responsibility.

It can be said that Everett is the most precious person in the country besides the emperor. No one is willing to send such a noble person to the battlefield.

But...

Given Everett's frank character, Scott couldn't say whether Everett would get carried away and take the initiative to ask the emperor for permission to go into battle in person after Scott had explained the truth to him.

After all, Everey learned knight skills at Pereo Academy, and even graduated as an outstanding graduate with excellent grades in both civil and military subjects.

If he goes to the battlefield, he will be an excellent fighter!

Combat power...

What is most lacking on the battlefield is excellent combat effectiveness.

After a brief struggle, Scott made up his mind, closed his eyes and said:

"Although I succeeded in taking down several generals and the battlefield is now stable. But if we leave it alone and allow Orendon to continue to expand his army, the war will never end. The northern part of the empire will never be at peace."

After hearing this, Everett lowered his head and remained silent.

Is it true... that the only way to put an end to the war is to conquer Orenden?

Although the crown prince did not actually go to the battlefield, but was only a "mercenary" transporting supplies, he could not calm down at all when he thought of the heavy bags covered with blood-stained shrouds he saw during that period.

Everett asked in a low voice:

"Has Orendon made sufficient preparations?"

Scott nodded helplessly:

"Yes. Ever since I killed Duke Pate, they decided to take out all the magic weapons. What's more frightening is that they have advanced technology. I heard that they have been researching 'artificial ability users' in recent years."

"What, artificial...powerful person?" Everett's eyes widened.

As the crown prince, he certainly knew the status of the "Seven Unthinkables" in the wizarding world.

If Orendon could use artificial means to replicate the ability user, wouldn't that be...

Scott bit his lip, lowered his head and said helplessly:

"You also know that Impes relies on force, not magic."

So, this is Impes' disadvantage.

After Scott said this, he thought: Actually, the commander has enough, but the powerful magic resources are not enough.

As Sheehan told himself at the time:

"It would be more than enough if we could gather the members of the 'Seven Unquestionables'."

Avery's words interrupted Scott's thoughts:

"Well, I heard that Orenden has indeed strengthened the magic training of the knights. There are even rumors that they have performed human body transformation on the knights to turn them into magicians."

These are the findings of St. John and Daimler's research.

"Tsk,"

Everett cursed, "They really can cheat!"

He clenched his left fist, thinking about the news the royal family had received:

Portia and Orendon have always been enemies, but when the old emperor was in power, they only had small-scale conflicts on the border. In order to calm the people, the royal family did not make this hidden danger public.

But two years ago, old Emperor Orenden died.

To make matters worse, Orendon had been fighting for the throne. The eldest princess, Melis Orendon, who was originally to be named the crown princess, suddenly disappeared, and her younger brother, Siberu Orendon, eventually inherited the throne.

After Siberu Orenden ascended the throne, he vigorously promoted the family motto of the previous emperor and the message that "only by expanding the empire can the regime be consolidated", and then he thoroughly began the empire expansion plan.

"The civil war that Haines provoked a few years ago was just the fuse. Once Orenden completely learned the technology provided by Haines, their ambitions could no longer be hidden."

But there are some gossips -

After all, Siberu was not the first in line to the throne, and his succession was controversial. Many nobles in Orenden were dissatisfied with his brutal rule.

That is why he established his merits by expanding his territory in order to consolidate his position.

But no matter what, Orenden was indeed preparing to annex the entire empire while Portia's southern nobles were not paying attention.

"What they want is not the northern part of Portia, but the entire Portia Empire."

So, Everett wanted to do something to cause panic among the stubborn nobles.

The best way is to ask for permission to go to the battlefield, let them know the royal family's attitude, and know that this war is by no means as simple as they imagined.

Moreover, after all members of the southern leader Haynes were punished, Everett no longer had to worry about anyone stopping the Royal Family from sending reinforcements to the north.

-

Everett was silent for a long time, his palms were sweating:

"Under the command of other princes of the Orendon royal family, some areas are currently engaged in battle, right? When the war officially begins, Xiberu will probably go out in person as well."

"what?"

Scott was startled for a moment, then nodded helplessly, "Yeah."

"My father is old, and it's too far-fetched to let him go to the battlefield. Liu Xuxiu is not of royal blood, and he is very close to those compromise nobles. If he gets the chance to take advantage of it, it will not benefit anyone..."

Avery finally made his decision.

"Scott, I'm also going to prepare for the battle."
