It was raining lightly in many provinces in the south. The streets of this newly occupied small town were a little deserted, and people had not yet adapted to being occupied by the new organization "Drywood".
In the morning, after Lorraine Hill had washed up and had breakfast, he was sitting in the room, holding a warm tea cup and watching the raindrops outside the window.
This is the small town closest to the front line. There are rows of military tents not far from the city. I don't know if they will be flooded if it rains now. At this moment, this thought came to the girl's mind.
After defeating Bazel, the 'Fairy Wood' has finally gained a reputation. Some other organizations in the southern border have moved closer and shown good intentions, and now the situation in the rear is much more stable.
However, how to deal with the new coalition of nobles sent by the empire? Thinking of the list of names listed in the intelligence, Lorraine Hill also had a headache.
The heirs of Duke Griffin and Duke Raven were all involved. If they died on the battlefield, the consequences would be no less than offending the royal family.
It was a bit difficult to solve. She couldn't think of any perfect solution for the moment. In the end, she could only put the problem aside for the time being and leaned on the table to take a nap.
Speaking of which, this sage girl always loves to sleep, which is of course related to her use of various abilities.
Her light green hair was very soft and draped over her shoulders and back, shielding her from the occasional raindrops falling outside the window. The sound of dripping from the eaves on the windowsill was like gentle music, making people gradually relax.
This quiet and leisurely scene lasted for a long time, until a burst of rapid horse hooves trampled across the water in the street, causing splashes and sounds, which made the sage girl gradually get up and stretch herself slightly.
"Dong dong dong"
There was a knock on the door, and before she could turn around, the girl already knew who it was from the familiar footsteps and rhythm.
"Come in, Iena."
With a creak, the white-painted wooden door opened, and a cute maid about 16 years old ran in a little recklessly and anxiously.
"Lord Jia Lan, something happened." She seemed a little panicked.
"Huh? Has the battle been lost somewhere?" Lorraine Hill blinked and sensed that the troops stationed outside the city seemed to have problems. Many people were chatting and sleeping in tents while it was raining.
"No, there is something wrong with the empire."
"Well, our enemy has a problem, it should be a good thing." The sage girl tilted her head slightly, thinking.
"But the problem is huge."
"How big."
"The regent is dead, and the queen and prince are no longer here."
"Ah, this..."
After hearing the news, Lorraine Hill also knew that a major change had occurred in the empire at this time. She immediately stood up and rushed to the conference room in the middle of the mansion with Iena.
In the conference room, several people were hurriedly lighting the fire in the fireplace, wiping the table, and placing tea in order to put the place into use as soon as possible.
After a while, several high-ranking members of the ‘Drywood’ organization were almost there.
"I just received the information, so I called everyone here at this time." Lu Bin started briefly, and then introduced the specific situation.
"According to the news from our branch in the imperial capital, there is currently another coup in Titiania, and the rebels have completely taken control of the situation."
"Due to the lag in the transmission of news, this happened two days ago, but it is certain that the regent has died in the turmoil, and the queen and prince are missing."
"This is a great thing." After hearing the news, several others were still thinking, but Guhuas spoke straightforwardly.
"The empire is in civil strife and has too much time to take care of itself, so we can just relax."
"It's a good thing, but there are also some hidden worries. We don't know the style of the new emperor, or how he views us. If such a result leads to a lot of wars and killings within the empire, it will be far away from our original goal.
Target." Lubin analyzed from the side.
"I think I know a little bit about the identity of the new emperor." After recovering from her injury, Charlanlot rarely spoke.
"He may be the heir of the former Crown Prince Ansroy. He has also sent people to contact me before and provided some help."
"Is he a good person?"
"It's... it's hard to say." Charlotte shook her head. Now that she has matured a lot, she will not trust the other party so easily, and she has never even met him in person.
"The Dark Moons of the empire are supporting him and working for him. He should have many powerful assassins under his command."
"It is said that Emperor Aimank died in the assassination of Dark Moon."
"Assassin, this is a bit difficult to handle. We don't have many high-level extraordinary people here, and many civil servants really have no ability to resist." Gu Huas crossed his arms and shook his head.
"However, the other party should put their energy into securing the throne, and may not be very interested in us at the moment."
"In other words, can we have a peaceful life again?" Gweir said in a rare voice.
"Probably, yes." Charlanlot replied thoughtfully. After several letters to the prince who was living among the people, she felt that he was not an unreasonable person.
"It seems like it is indeed good news." After some discussion, a few people finally decided to wait and see what happens and not to irritate the empire's defenders. After all, their military strength is already weak, and there are still many newly occupied areas that have not yet been conquered.
Stablize.
"Summer has just arrived. There is enough rain now. We should be able to organize many people to repair the wasteland and sow food or fruit trees."
Farming and planting trees seems to have become an activity that is loved by everyone in the "Drywood" organization. Every time a piece of land is conquered, some members will stand on the high ground and point out the land, saying that it would be a great idea to use that piece of land to build an orchard.
A beautiful thing.
"Wait until next year, you can eat crispy, sweet and delicious berries and bread." Everyone imagined this, and they became more motivated.
After decades of gloomy and hungry years in life, eating delicious food seems to have become everyone’s unanimous pursuit and hobby.
Those sweet, delicious fruits and colorful fruits used to be on the tables of nobles, out of reach of common people. Nowadays, only after difficult battles, a small amount of fresh fruits are brought from the rear as a source of food.
Commendations are given to those soldiers.
If you can eat it every year or even every day in the future, it will be a very desirable scene.
After the meeting, Lorraine Hill returned to her room. Now that she was out of her role as the leader of the 'Fairy Wood', she became worried about Lily again.
This friend and classmate is not a powerful extraordinary person. Now she is fleeing with her child. Can she escape the enemy's pursuit smoothly and safely?
After pacing back and forth in the room and hesitating for a while, the girl, who was worried about her friend, finally sat down and started writing on the letter paper.
Now that the empire's anti-rebellion army is still on the way, the crisis has not completely disappeared. It is difficult for her to escape and walk away. At this time, she can only ask for help from others.
"Hello dear sages, I am..."
That's right, apart from the witches, there are only the most powerful organizations on the continent who have the strength and can safely protect Lily and her mother in the conflict between complex forces.
The influence of the Sage Society cannot be ignored even when the empire is at its peak, and its high-level extraordinary beings are spread all over the world. They are often the leaders of various extraordinary factions. If these people have the intention to save Lily and her son, it is not at all possible.
question.
The only possible obstacle is that, based on its principle of always maintaining neutrality, it cannot arbitrarily participate in such internal struggles within the empire.
In fact, Lorraine Hill didn't expect the sage to fully comply with her request, because she felt that she didn't have that much dignity.
However, just delay it for a while.
After writing the letter, she immediately asked the fast-flying dark-crested blue jay to take it with her and send it to Emenas College.
Then, she took out a new piece of letter paper and started writing another letter.
