Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Very correct. The reason is very simple, because this matter is definitely not in the current plan of the Theocracy."

Claude shook his fingers.

"I have said before that the Theocracy's plan is to make the old emperor lose his composure and not continue to attack in the order of victory, but to attack the Theocracy first. I don't know what kind of means the other party has prepared. Let him be sure that the old emperor will be stimulated by him to the point of losing his ability to judge rationally, and choose to deal with the Theocracy first—but I know what kind of person the old emperor is."

"Wise, tolerant, generous, and arrogant. His generals are like clouds, and his advisers are like rain. After all, it is the end of the empire's conquest plan, and it is almost the heyday of the empire. If under such circumstances, the land belonging to the empire is He has lost his opponent, what do you think he will do?"

【…】

"Yes, this is what I said before, creating a difficult situation for the emperor to ride a tiger - as the emperor of such a powerful empire, what could make him feel more angry and humiliated than the loss of the country? "

Claude opened his arms, and his smile became ferocious.

"I really don't know what kind of conspiracy the Theocracy is preparing to guide the old emperor and make him make such an irrational decision to attack the Theocracy first. And since there is no way to know the opponent's methods, then precautions are even more nonsense— —So let’s just let him play his game and I play mine. Everyone has their own skills, so let’s compare and see whose plan is more sunny in the end!”

"For so long, the old emperor is the only one who can make me admire the operation. If such a talented and bold emperor, in the case of the business alliance occupying a part of the empire, the Theocracy's plan can still stimulate If he chooses to use the Theocracy first, then I admit defeat!"

【This……】

"He who learns from me lives, and like me dies. Remember this sentence, my dear student-never use my means to try to calculate me."

Claude's eyes burst into strong confidence.

"I admit that the person at the helm of the Theocracy is very strong, and the conspiracy traps he set up are also very good. Being able to talk about a conspiracy so that it becomes an unstoppable conspiracy after it is discovered can be regarded as the essence of learning tactics—but Wouldn’t I know this way? Since he and I are under the same system, and he can’t be the senior time traveler, then he will definitely be brought a smile by my sunshine!”

【...I understand that the Merchant Alliance has not been able to take advantage of the empire for hundreds of years. Now if it suddenly takes over a piece of land on the mainland, the emperor will definitely use all means to besiege the Merchant Alliance——in this way The Theocracy's plan will go bankrupt!Because the empire's plan was redirected back to normal by you! 】

There was a sudden enlightenment in the system's voice.

[Then you said before that the Theocracy would not support such behavior of the Merchant Alliance, and I fully understand it, because the Theocracy cannot allow the plan to be complicated at this time. Once the Empire strangles the Merchant Alliance first, then everything is over, and the orcs will be at a loss If you can't afford any splashes, you will be drowned by the huge navy and army of the empire. In this way, there are only two fronts left in the empire, one east and one south, and the opponent has no room to maneuver! 】

[The most important thing is that this will buy you enough time and merits - the plan of the Holy Kingdom depends on the fact that the old emperor has no one available, and he must command the three strongest armies in order to leave the imperial capital. The perfect defensive position creates opportunities for them.But once you grow up, the old emperor doesn't need to leave the imperial capital at all, because you can use the power of destroying the country to forcibly suppress all dissatisfaction, and you can also command three large armies! 】

"Yes, my abilities are sufficient, but I am too young, and my merits and qualifications are far from enough—even if everyone knows that I am a genius, I still need time to grow up to the point where the old emperor thinks I have this abilities and qualifications."

Claude nodded.

"If the plan is brought back on track"

"The purpose of the Theocracy's plan is to be fast and ahead of time. As long as a plan is not followed by the steps, problems will inevitably arise, and I just want to delay it until I am truly qualified to use the empire's card, and then I can directly rush out to suppress it." Kill all ghosts and monsters."

[So, in the end, you still have to "farm" first. 】

"Hahahaha, if you say that, it's true."

[So now, there is only one problem left - we must find a way to allow the Chamber of Commerce to gain a firm foothold on the Brittany Peninsula. 】

"Yes, that's right. The only loophole in my plan is that the empire is likely to push the merchant alliance into the sea in one wave."

Claude scratched his head in distress. With the size of the Merchant Alliance, it is already the limit to support a navy that suppresses the Empire's North Sea Fleet. It is somewhat impossible to maintain a huge army. .

And the most important thing is that the opponent is an alliance, not a dictatorship with a powerful leader like the Theocracy or the Empire. This kind of politics may not cause too many problems in naval battles with oppressive power. But once it reaches the weak army, it is extremely deadly——

The cobbled-up army, the commanders who exchanged interests, the generals who restrained each other, and the soldiers who basically only had the experience of standing guard and jumping into the sea to escape...

"I chose this place mainly because the terrain is really good for defense. There is an Armada blockade on the sea. The opponent only needs to maintain a peninsula defense line of less than [-] kilometers, and the depth is not too small. In this way, as long as the entire city It’s not a problem if you want to keep it for a year or so.”

Claude sighed.

"In addition, there is a good port, and it is very close to the mainland of the business alliance, which is enough for them to quickly import a large amount of materials and personnel - so that after destroying the Armada in the future, it will be very simple to directly empty the opponent's manpower with a big dumpling. I'm not going to allow something like 'Operation Dynamo' to have any chance of success."

[But the premise of all this is that the opponent must withstand the first wave of attacks from the imperial army, and then have time to take a breath, build fortresses, prepare defense lines, and deliver supplies. 】

"Yes, there is only one way to win here, but I don't know if this way will be adopted by the Chamber of Commerce after being proposed by Shire - because I really don't think the other party can think of such a fighting method .”

Claude was a little worried, and tapped his fingers on the islands of the Merchant Alliance.

All Living Beings Are Sons: Chapter 160 Chapter 140 Chapter [-] It's Okay

Claude and the others returned to the Bay of Riga without any surprises—this is almost the place where Team 107 officially set foot on the training ground. Except that there is no snow yet, this place is almost the same as when they left half a year ago.

It's just that the current 107 team has long been a different thing--Erwin, the money-capable man, has dropped out of school now, and he is going to the imperial capital to inherit hundreds of millions of wealth, and is going to drown all the elves by relying on productivity.And Georgie was still lying on the hospital bed, and he was just able to walk on the ground, and he was carried down when he disembarked. Only Randolph and Claude seemed to be the same as before.

However, it is already different, right?

Because Claude doesn't need to sail anymore, he won't replenish his manpower. Those sailors will be reorganized and transferred to other warships as a reserve team, and continue to set sail as the empire's navy.

The experienced students are more free, they can freely choose what to do in the future - because they have completed the academic year experience tasks,

In fact, there are only two teams in the Vanguard Fleet this time, one is Claude's 107th team, and the other is the team led by Manfred, and the latter, except for Manfred, has already been involved in the attack. The army was wiped out.

The battleship they were commanding was sunk, the fireships did a lot of damage, and then the catapult was the straw that broke the camel's back.In order to let more people have a chance to get on the lifeboat, the captain and first mate stuck to their posts until the last moment, while the boatswain who led the survivors to land died in battle while commanding the beachhead to prevent the orcs from rushing to the beach.

After Manfred woke up, he found that no one in his team survived. The wind knight who had always been good at dancing became taciturn. They fight side by side.Although Claude comforted him, officially Manfred's behavior saved more people, but this is not the reason for Manfred to forgive himself.

So he didn't choose to return by boat with Claude and others, but stayed in the fleet with his wolf eagle, and continued to advance to the orc's port-he vowed to use three hundred orc heads to sacrifice himself Lost comrades.

Claude could only give a little verbal blessing, and then returned with his team - after all, Georgi was seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and although Charles and Randolph were only slightly injured, they were already exhausted Do your best.He himself has no problem, and he can go to the orc base to kill seven in and seven out. It's just that Claude still remembers Randolph's behavior last time. He doesn't want his fancy subordinates to still grit their teeth and follow him. A belief to follow can easily become a burden.

Coupled with the handing in of that map and the victory of this battle, Claude has already won enough dazzling feats, and there is really no need to play any more personal heroism.

"It turned out to be idle again."

Randolph was a little emotional. He always felt that this school year experience was extremely weird, and it belonged to Schrödinger's intense and fish-catching.

At the beginning, with the support of Erwin's wealth, they hurried all the way, and arrived at the Karelian fortress one step earlier than the teacher. Then they thought that the natural disaster was waiting for someone, so they touched it; then the orc was forced by Bai Maoxue Going madly south, they notified the outpost all the way, but the orcs went back after a while. They thought that there was no bloody battle, so they touched it again; until the counterattack, the Ladoga Lake was victorious, and the orcs were directly hacked by the empire. From then on, the northern line Nothing to do, then touch.

Later, they went south to the eastern front, but as soon as they entered the border, they were intercepted by the superior force of the elves. Teacher Karl and the knights died in battle, and they were also in danger. .

In the end, they went north to the North Sea Fleet. After three months of training, they encountered a terrible attack and barely repelled the orcs. They were told that they had made great contributions and could go back. Until now, they continued to fish.

Claude stroked his chin subtly, always feeling that there was indeed something wrong with this experience, but he thought that he was not the protagonist, why did he walk so many disasters.

"It's better to take a break, take a break, when I came back from my hometown, my wife was pregnant. Counting the days, the child should have been born."

Georgi looked disillusioned, calm and joyful.

"Oh yes, I think you did say that."

Randolph nodded, and then was a little tangled: "Well... To be honest, I haven't experienced this kind of thing, should I give some gifts or something?"

"It's really worth giving something away. After all, importing is a big deal."

Claude nodded.

"Thank you for your kindness, but the Volga people don't pay much attention to it. It is enough for everyone to write a blessing on the cloth. I will take it back when I am on vacation this year."

Georgi waved his hand.

"Well, are you going to use these pieces of cloth to sew a child's clothes? Gathering other people's blessings?"

Claude was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a custom in Georgi's hometown.

"Well, it was passed down a long time ago."

Georgi nodded.

"At that time, the eastern part of the empire was not what it is now. The rear was very safe. At that time, the Volga people were displaced, and the settlements were often attacked. Especially in autumn and winter, the elves would leave the forest and destroy the farmland. People were forced to leave their homes. Go to the big cities and get relief there."

"In such autumn and winter, every child is precious. Whenever a child is born, people who live together will tear off the warmest piece from the clothes they are wearing, and hand it to the parents of the child, so that They can protect the baby and survive a tough winter."

Georgi had a smile on his face.

"Now we can live and work there in peace, but everyone will give a piece of cloth or fur to the newborn as a blessing. The custom has been passed down to this day. I also have one, and I keep it in my home."

"This custom is indeed very meaningful. Everyone helped each other through those difficult days." Charles became excited, "I feel that I can learn from it in the future. I also have many friends in the gang. The imperial capital is relatively cold. , just enough to sew a thicker one for the child.”

"Hey, Charles, are you going to have a baby too?"

Randolph was a little surprised. After all, the conversation between Claude and Charles was considered a secret, and there was actually a slight gap between him and the illegitimate son of Brittany.

"Yeah - I'll call you guys together anyway, I'm going to get married, probably next year."

Charles hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was no need to hide it. From now on, we are all colleagues, so it doesn't matter.

"Which lady is it?"

"civilian."

"Gah?"

Randolph made a strange noise in surprise.

"Well, it's my childhood sweetheart's younger sister, the daughter of my adoptive parents."

Charles was not angry, but nodded.

"But... if you marry a commoner, won't you lose your right of inheritance?"

"I can't ask for it."

Charles shrugged.

Randolph nodded with a subtle expression, but he was mistaken. This knight of Shire is not the kind of boring guy.

"Isn't that just right? We will all be together next year and have a more lively life."

Claude laughed.

"Yeah, after graduating from university, I don't know if there will be such an opportunity!"

Randolph nodded and stretched.

He felt that he already liked this kind of life a little bit. Compared with his father's gloomy face of bitterness and hatred every day, it was more interesting to come out to be a knight.Anyway, his old man doesn't want himself and his elder brother to take over your class, isn't that fulfilling his wish?

The leisurely chatting of the men after the big victory always makes people feel that there is still too much happiness waiting for them in the future. The autumn sun shines on them, and they are so lazy that it makes people feel unmotivated. In time, even the wind is warm and slightly drunk.

--------------------------------------

Hurrying, the students finally arrived at the imperial capital before the New Year's Eve.

After that sea fog encounter, things were lackluster. Naturally, the small boats of the orcs couldn't take advantage of the vigilant North Sea Fleet. He politely accepted the port where he found and completed the infrastructure construction, put down the marines, and approached the depths all the way.

Naturally, the subsequent battles would not have much to do with the navy, so the experience of the students of the empire came to an end, and they returned to the Gulf of Riga one after another.

Except Manfred.

The red air knight is still active on the front line, responsible for the investigation of the ground troops, and at the same time hunting down all non-imperial intelligent creatures that appear in his eyes - because he added three hundred heads of merchants to his list , as an aristocrat, he walks the talk.

After the students assembled in the Bay of Riga, Heinrich led the team back to the imperial capital—there was no need to continue the training. The trip should have lasted for nearly a year and a half, because the orcs disappeared and the elves condensed their eggs, and the school year ended in just one year. up.

Georgi finally recovered before the return trip, at least he could ride a horse instead of lying in a carriage.

"I'm back..."

Georgi wiped his sweat, always feeling like an illusion of another life.

"Yeah, finally back..."

Claude's eyes were deep for a second, and then he relaxed again - there was nothing to be afraid of, nothing more than a 13...cough, [-]-year-old fiancée, anyway, he didn't lose.

"I've never been so thankful to that senior, who nailed the minimum age for women to marry - this is definitely his contribution."

Claude thought about it in his heart.

"Are you going back to the dormitory in a while?"

Georgi suddenly remembered the question.

"...there was so much dust, and there were no bedding or anything. With the current temperature of the imperial capital, it's impossible to live there, right?"

Randolph shrugged.

"I'm definitely going home. You want... well, don't come to our house. I'm afraid you won't find a safe way out."

Georgi: "..."

Although he didn't know why, he felt inexplicably relieved when he heard that the other party withdrew the invitation.

"I also live at home, do you want to come and live with me? My house is quite big. I just changed it every two years. It all depends on the sponsorship fee I cheated from that grand duke. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to get in the imperial capital." Live in such a big house."

Charles sent an invitation.

However, Georgie was still a little hesitant, because the opponent was not Erwin. Although the two sides were comrades-in-arms, after all, they had not been very familiar with each other for a short time.

"That's where you and your fiancée live, right? I don't think Georgie is used to living there." Claude smiled, "Why don't you live with me, I'm in His Royal Highness Ludwig's manor and Brunhilde Street, I can't live in two at the same time."

"...Then trouble the captain."

Georgi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the imperial capital is expensive, and living in it is not easy.

"Are you going to live in His Royal Highness Ludwig's manor?"

Randolph heard something different.

"Yeah, I guess... I will live there in the future."
