The Imperial College is very close to the Royal Palace, and it is not yet within the control area of ​​​​his own army. If he goes to the Imperial College, he must pass through a section of Alsace's control area.

But after all, this was a request from the college. If I didn't go, it would be a bit too unkind.

In desperation, Orson agreed to their request in his reply to the Imperial College and prepared to return to the Imperial College to handle the matter in person.

Of course, there is obviously more than just this problem before Orson.

The civil war in Saint-Laurent City has been going on for some time now. The citizens had been warned about the tense situation in Saint-Laurent City and had hoarded a lot of supplies at home. However, as the war continued, the people who usually hoarded supplies at home were Food will eventually bottom out. In this case, whoever controls the area with enough food and supplies left will be prepared for a protracted war.

Obviously, Alsace also expected this situation. The royal palace and the large surrounding wealthy areas under his control already had many warehouses used to store supplies so that the rich could use them as they pleased.

The area controlled by Osun is relatively barren, and all the required materials need to be transported from outside.

However, materials transported from outside cannot come in at this moment.

After all, the entire surrounding area of ​​Saint Laurent City is controlled by the Royal Army of Alsace, and it will take some time for outsiders to break in.

If Orson and his group succeed, it will be called the center blooming, but if not, they will be surrounded and annihilated.

Materials have become a big problem.

Fortunately, the materials currently on hand can still be rationed for one month after centralized dispatch. After one month, if the war has not ended or external supplies have not been delivered, the people in the Osun-controlled area will be like a It exploded like a time bomb.

He stood up, put down the document in his hand, and then looked behind him.

"During this period, everything here will be left to you."

"Um."

Behind him, Lite was standing there. She nodded obediently after hearing Orson's words.

When Orson was just released and started revolting against Alsace, Lite sneaked out of the Imperial Academy and found Orson.

Of course, in order not to let others know, Leeteuk did not appear in public, but served as Orson's adviser, helping Orson handle complicated documents.

Orson did this to make second-hand preparations.

Before everything is settled, everything may turn around. Although Orson has gradually disintegrated Alsace's power through many plans, what if Alsace has a trump card that Orson doesn't know about? The moment turned the tide of the battle, and by doing this, Orson was able to save Liteuk.

At that time, all the blame can be shied away from Orson, and Li Te, who has never appeared against Alsace in public, can escape.

After all, Li Te was also the current sole heir to the Duchy of Antica. Alsace would not do anything outrageous towards Li Te because of the relationship between the two families.

After all, the Duke of Antica's sending troops was Lucius's personal act and had nothing to do with Li Te.

If Alsace really chooses to make enemies of all the dukes in order to liquidate Li Te and others, he will definitely lose.

"I will hand over all military power to you, but you must promise me that you will not reveal your identity to the mercenaries below, nor will you let them see your true face. Otherwise, if they fail...after the war, they will If you confess, you will suffer."

Lee nodded.

She agreed to Orson just because of Orson's request at this time.

She doesn't care about Orson's concerns at all. If she fails, she is willing to go to hell with Orson instead of living alone.

What's more, it's impossible for him to lose now.

In the palace.

Arthas frowned as he looked at Langdon who was standing in front of him, reporting on the progress of last night's negotiations.

After Rosalin came back last night, she locked herself in a small room to be alone. It seemed that the previous bloody scene had left a deep psychological shadow in her heart.

Arthas listened to Langdon's report silently.

"So... our method of dismantling the enemy has failed?"

"Yeah." Langdon nodded.

"Then if I take the risk of catastrophe and take out the money from the vault, where will it be used in the end?!"

Alsace suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Langdon in front of him.

Of course he knew that Langdon was not the one who came up with the idea, and it would be useless to ask him, but now he just lacked a channel to vent.

Langdon naturally knew that after being a knight for so long, he still had some understanding of the royal family's character.

Therefore, he simply accepted all the blame for this incident.

"When this happened, I am entirely responsible. I already felt that someone was watching us, but the first thing I thought of was to protect the safety of Her Majesty the Queen."

"I didn't expect that the other party's real target was the mercenary leaders. If they were discovered in advance and let them return to their control area to die, even if the purpose of disintegrating the enemy could not be achieved, it would still cause turmoil within the enemy, so... This time it was all my fault. It would have been better if I had noticed earlier."

When Alsace heard Langdon's sincere apology, he didn't know how to speak for a moment. He could only nod.

"Yes, it is indeed your problem, but now that things have come to this, there is no other way."

Arthas said this, looking at Langdon in front of him, and sighed helplessly.

"Now that things have come to this, you should go to the front line. After all, those mercenaries are still a mob. Rosaline should only stay in the palace for this period of time. There is no need to send you to guard her all the time."

"Yes." Langdon nodded after hearing this, and after thanking Arthas, he turned around and left.

After Langdon left, Arthas sat on the chair, and the whole person was limp.

These days, he was really too tired, and even a lot of white hair appeared on his temples.

He was less than 30 years old, but he was already approaching 50 years old.

Of course, he knew that all this was thanks to his rival Orson.

If it weren't for Orson, he would have been able to successfully sit on the throne now.

When Orson was mentioned, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

Sure enough, when I was in the police station, I should have ignored their previous friendship and imprisoned Orson forever or simply killed him. Although this would have attracted a stronger wave of resistance, at least there would not be such a shrewd opponent as Orson.

When he thought that such a powerful person could not be used by himself, Arthas was also a pity.

At this time, a guard came from outside and brought a message to Arthas.

"Your Majesty, our informant at the Imperial Academy sent a message that our action has been effective. Now the students of the Imperial Academy are asking the court magicians to withdraw from the Imperial Academy."

"Good."

Finally hearing a good news, Arthas felt relieved a lot.

These annoying magicians, when they come out, I must catch them all and cripple Elsa's left and right arms.

At the same time, after the guard finished the news, he did not leave, but continued:

"They also sent a message saying that Orson is going to return to the Imperial Academy."

"He can go back if he wants to." Arthas said indifferently.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something, raised his head suddenly, and looked anxious.

"Wait a minute! Orson wants to go from his own control area to the Imperial Academy, so he should pass through our control area, right?"

"That's right." The guard nodded. "The people over there said that we can ambush a large army on the road that Orson must take to the Imperial Academy and kill Orson."

Arthas nodded after hearing this, and when he was about to do so, he suddenly thought of something.

"No... Orson is so smart, it's impossible for him not to know that we will ambush the army on the road that he must take..."

"But this is the only way we have now, Your Majesty."

Hearing what the guard said, Arthas also made up his mind.

"Okay, then pass on my order to send a legion to kill Orson!"

"Yes!"

...

The time came to the early morning of the next day.

Although the street fighting in Saint Laurent City was fierce, both sides fought quite restrainedly, and there was even a neutral area between the control areas.

Because it is a war zone, the borders of both sides are usually well guarded, but today the royal family is more strict, the purpose is to stop Orson who is about to cross the control area to the Imperial Academy.

As expected, in order to cover Orson, the mercenaries launched attacks in many places, trying to attract the attention of the royal army.

Orson took advantage of the slack of the guards and sneaked into the control area of ​​the royal army from a corner.

The street was empty at this moment. He wore the armor of the royal army, lowered his helmet, and walked alone on the street.

When he met the soldiers patrolling back and forth, he said that he was going back from the front line to submit a report to the superiors. For a while, no one noticed Orson's abnormality.

The deeper into the control area, the fewer patrolling soldiers there were.

Finally, when there were still three streets away from the Imperial Academy, Orson stopped.

In front of him, a fully armed elite army appeared at the entrance of the street.

There were many soldiers in the alleys next to him, the streets behind him, and even on the roofs on both sides.

They seemed to know that Orson would definitely pass this road, so they waited here.

In front of Orson, the person surrounded by the army at the street entrance was Arthas.

He looked at Orson in front of him with a smug smile, and said with a smile:

"You didn't expect it, Orson, you are in my hands again now."

As he said this, he led the army towards Orson.

Orson seemed to be panicked at this moment, and stood there at a loss.

Until Arthas walked in front of Orson.

He patted Orson on the shoulder, as if sighing for him.

"You may be very smart and found the safest passage to come here, but, sorry, this road is exactly what we deliberately gave you."

"I gave you a chance before, now, I won't give you another chance, before you die, you still have a last word to say."

At this time, "Orson" slowly raised his head.

Arthas saw his face and widened his eyes in surprise.

This guy is not Orson at all!

Then, where is the real Orson now?

Chapter 56: Back to the Academy (3.6K)

Imperial Academy, Dean's Office.

After Orson returned to the Imperial Academy, he first went to the office of Dean Luca.

"Dean, I'm back."

"Orson, you should have received the letter written to you in the name of the Council." Luca looked up and said as he watched Orson walk into the office.

"Yeah."

Orson nodded and then sat down.

"That letter should not be what Dean Luca meant."

"You figured it out."

Hearing this, Luca smiled bitterly.

"There are indeed many royal people on the Council side. They are very dissatisfied with your behavior, so through this incident, they want to clamp you in the Imperial Academy so that you can't command the battle outside."

"I know, but now the overall situation has been decided. It doesn't matter whether I command the battle outside or not."

Orson waved his hand.

"Right now, I want to talk to Elsa about the future."

"Elsa is in her dormitory, you don't have to worry about her safety. We are the Imperial Academy. Although we have grown to this point with the emperor's help, we don't have to act according to the emperor's wishes."

Luka said such traitorous words so openly, but Orson just smiled.

After all, the two people are in a similar situation now, and they are both standing on the opposite side of Arthas.

Luka stood up and walked to Orson.

"The election of the next council will be in a month. If the war is delayed for too long, I am afraid I can't protect Elsa by the time the council election comes."

"It doesn't matter, it won't develop to that time."
