Seeing Obilian's face turn blue with anger, Orlando softens his tone.
"Your Highness, my lord said that the future belongs to the young."
"You have seen it yourself. Those old n who occupy the highest positions can no longer keep up with the tis."
"To cling to the power in their hands and keep us from taking it, they can do incredibly foolish things."
"Lumir's current situation is terrible, and that is exactly why it needs soone like you, Your Highness, to save the country."
"My lord also said this is not the worst outco for Lumir."
"Especially for you, Your Highness. You still have many opportunities."
"What you need to do now is wait patiently. Once the ti cos, my lord will naturally give you your chance to take the stage."
"We are not friends."
"But under the current circumstances, we are not enemies either. More importantly, both of us have old n blocking the road ahead."
"At a ti like this, we should help each other."
"First, we move the stones in front of us. As for what happens later, we can compete and decide the winner then."
Afterward, Obilian returns to his castle heavy with worry.
Now he needs to hear the details of what happened three days ago.
Three days earlier, Obilian was preparing to take his two legions and wipe out the Justice Army remnants in Saltwater Town.
Only by doing that could Lumir eliminate Ogiro's excuse for entering its territory. Only then could the envoys of the Western Federation step in to diate.
Even if Ogiro Kingdom refused to withdraw, after destroying the Justice Army, he could still block the opening at the border.
Ultimately, that would still force Ogiro Kingdom back to the negotiating table.
But just as he was about to act, a fleet with thirty warships at its core and more than a hundred ships following behind suddenly appeared near Tatan City port without any warning.
Then, under the cover of the warships, the fleet entered the harbor and docked. A full warband was sent ashore directly from the ships.
With almost no effort, they took over the nearly undefended Tatan City.
Afterward, for one full day and night, the docks and port were busy loading goods.
Just when the surrounding area around Tatan City received the news and thought Ogiro's navy had landed, the fleet suddenly left Tatan City.
This frightened Holy Lake City badly. It imdiately activated extraordinary communication and ordered Obilian, who was about to reach Saltwater Town, to return with his army and reinforce Tatan City at once.
Now, Obilian understands Henwell's aning. The main reason the kingdoms want to remove Henwell is that he is too young.
This threatens their future heirs while also tempting the young heirs of today.
Billie's situation already explains the problem clearly. The young people believe Henwell was able to stand firm and grow because the old n made the wrong choices.
Since Henwell is young, then he should be matched against other young people.
The older generation feels the next generation cannot defeat Henwell.
The next generation, anwhile, feels the old n are timid and tied down by every concern.
Whether it is to warn the next generation or clear a path for them, the old generation all wants to deal with Henwell as quickly as possible.
But Henwell has proven far more frustrating than they imagined.
It was clearly already a dead end, yet Henwell used two bitter victories to forcefully buy enough ti.
While the three sides hesitated, Henwell threw out his own piece.
First, he dragged Ogiro into the water. Then he lured Ika into shifting its gaze.
This is an open sche. Everyone knows Henwell is trying to buy himself a period of developnt.
But what they want is right in front of them, and its temptation has already surpassed Peace Haven. They can only shift their target.
When the plan was first being drawn up, Henwell proposed a general direction.
When beasts are staring at you, how do you escape?
The simplest thod is to outrun your companion.
But Peace Haven has no companions.
The bad news is that there are three beasts. The good news is also that there are three beasts.
Then what Peace Haven needs to do is make the other two beasts stare at their own companions instead.
But there is a prerequisite. Peace Haven must make those two beasts feel that it is more dangerous than their companion.
It must also make them understand that Peace Haven has very little at on its bones, while their companion is the one who looks delicious.
That is why Henwell had to fight the Battle of Blood and Fire and the Mudfield Battle.
He had to et them head-on and make great sacrifices so that the two beasts, Ika and Ogiro, could feel his danger.
Once those two beasts bleed and are injured, hesitation and fear will begin to appear.
At that point, what Henwell needs to do is activate the hidden lines he buried long ago, let the Justice Army cause a great disturbance, and flee into Lumir's territory.
There is a loophole here. What if the one suppressing the rebellion was not Divarak?
Would the other pacification legions really cross the border in pursuit?
Of course they would.
They absolutely would.
The legion commanders might not care about this opportunity, but Diversion Bay's decision makers have been waiting for it for a very long ti.
If it had been another legion, things certainly would not have gone this smoothly.
They might even have needed Browning to endure several rounds of Lumir's siege, and they certainly would not have taken away this much manpower.
Ultimately, whether it was to pursue the rebels or assist Lumir in suppressing bandits, Ogiro's army would eventually enter Lumir's territory.
As long as Ogiro's army enters Lumir, Peace Haven's Delicious al Plan has already succeeded.
Of course, the situation now is the best possible situation for Peace Haven.
The reason Divarak was able to lead troops to suppress the bandits is partly that Diversion Bay wanted to consu his strength, and partly due to the efforts of Peace Haven's Military Intelligence Office.
At a critical mont, guiding a key person to say a few key words is not that difficult.
Is Henwell the only smart one?
Is he the only person who could think of all this?
Of course not. Henwell is not so unmatched genius, and the decision makers of those countries are not idiots.
Even so, the Delicious al Plan has still advanced step by step to this point.
Why?
Because this was never a plan created by Henwell alone. He rely gave a direction.
This plan was designed and perfected by a group of smart people racking their brains, spending more than a month repeatedly analyzing and refining every detail.
The team of several hundred people included talents from every field. They studied every key step of the plan and the personality of every important figure in detail.
The papers containing backup plans alone could fill several great cabinets.
The success of this plan now does not belong only to elite soldiers who fought through blood. Many intelligence agents on hidden fronts also paid with their lives.
Rather than say this is Henwell's victory in a contest against the nobles and powers of the various countries, it is better to say that Peace Haven's elites used collective wisdom and courage to carve out a narrow chance of survival.
Now that the general montum has ford, Peace Haven only needs to find the most perfect mont to enter the field.
And after the weather turns toward winter, that opportunity soon arrives.
