Orson spoke with great determination.
The reason why Orson said this is mainly due to two aspects.
First, the war will definitely not be delayed until that time. If it is delayed until that time and the situation has not been decided, it will no longer matter whether Elsa stays in the Imperial Academy.
Because if it reaches that point, it proves that Alsace has shown his trump card and successfully repelled the mercenaries in Saint Laurent City, which at least delayed the situation.
And if that happens, the peripheral royal troops will also withdraw to Saint Laurent City and attack and eliminate the mercenaries in the city.
After all, this is actually the only way Alsace can go. Once he successfully calms down the situation in Saint Laurent City, the offensive outside will become irrelevant.
After all, the important figures are all controlled by Alsace, and he can use this to accumulate bargaining chips.
Second, if the war proceeds to that point, the people in the controlled area will be the first to become anxious due to insufficient supplies, leading to rebellion. In this way, the coalition forces will be forced to withdraw from Saint Laurent City.
In short, the next month will be the month when the war ends.
If the war is not over within this month, it can basically be regarded as a staged defeat on Elsa's side.
With so much support, if Arthas cannot be taken quickly, those who support Elsa will begin to reconsider whether Elsa is a monarch worthy of their support.
And once they have this idea, even if Elsa wins the war later, her monarchy and prestige as the emperor will definitely be greatly reduced. Even if Orson intends to support her, they will think that Orson is usurping power.
After a few more pleasantries with Luka, Orson left the council's administrative building.
Orson went back to his dormitory first, changed a set of clothes and then came to the student union.
At this time, a row of students was already sitting at the door of the student union. Compared with the previous time of Li Te, the number of students was much smaller. This was also because most students had gone back during the holidays.
Of course, none of the students present knew Orson, so after they saw Orson for the first time, someone immediately came to Orson. They looked at Orson and said:
"President Osen, please give us an explanation!"
"President Ossen, we know that you and the emperor are now on opposite sides, but we do not want to get involved in this fight."
"We approve of Elsa's stay here, but the others, those court magicians, killed several of her classmates."
The classmates came up one after another, wanting to ask Orson for an explanation.
Of course, Orson knew that this incident was deliberately provoked by someone, but in order to stabilize the students' emotions, Orson could only say:
"Students, I am still learning about the specific reasons for the incident, but the information I have received now is that the death of those students has nothing to do with the palace magicians. They died due to their own reasons."
"Of course, I know that you will definitely not be satisfied with this result, so I plan to negotiate the transfer of the court magicians out of the Imperial Academy in the future, and I will also compensate the victims for this incident."
Orson obviously has no way of convincing the public when he talks about the wheel, but that's the only way it can be in the current situation.
When the other students heard this, although they still expressed distrust, they could only express acceptance at this moment.
Orson's reputation in the Imperial Academy is still sufficient. Even the last incident involving Lite was handled quite well. Otherwise, that incident alone would have been enough for Orson to be impeached.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were calmed down, Orson also took the opportunity to return to the student union building.
After the holidays, the student movement has almost come to a standstill, and at this moment, only Elsa and a few remaining people are on duty in the student union building.
Orson walked directly to the office where Elsa was responsible. When he opened the door of the office, Orson saw Elsa resting in front of the case. Opposite her, Avro was also sitting there, helping Elsa with the processing. holding the file.
When Orson saw this, he frowned and looked at Avro.
"Are there so many documents for the holidays?"
Afro was surprised when he saw Orson coming in, and then after hearing what Orson said, he said helplessly:
"There are not many documents for the holidays, but this is a special case for us. Due to the war in the city, many students cannot freely enter and leave the Imperial College, so the purchase and distribution of supplies require manual counting... In addition, Elsa's recent mood It wasn’t very good, so I came to help her..."
When Orson heard this, he actually understood.
As for Odysseus' death, there is still no conclusion. As Odysseus' daughter, Elsa was even accused of murdering her father because of Alsace's rejection. She was not even able to attend the hastily held funeral. .
As a child, it is also a great sadness not to be able to attend the funeral of your parents.
At this time, after hearing the conversation between the two, Elsa also woke up in a daze.
When she saw Orson standing at the door, Elsa was stunned for a moment, and then quickly patted her face.
After confirming that she was not dreaming, Elsa said in surprise:
"Orson! When did you come back?"
"When can't I go back to Imperial College?"
Orson said this and found a chair in the office to sit down.
"Tell me about recent events."
Hearing Orson say this, Elsa also knew the purpose of his return, so she said awkwardly:
"Orson, you may find it a little outrageous, but...every word I am going to say is true."
"Yeah."
Orson nodded after hearing this, indicating that he was listening carefully.
Next, Elsa recounted everything that happened that night from the perspective of the court magician.
Originally, when the court magicians entered the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy specially arranged a rest area for the staff for them, because the Imperial Academy itself had a large capacity, and it was a holiday now, so there were a lot of extra rest areas for the staff, so these court magicians moved in there.
For a long time afterwards, both sides kept their distance from each other.
However, that night, several drunk students ran to the residence of the court magician group to make trouble, disturbing their rest, and several court magicians who couldn't stand it argued with them.
As a result, during the argument, those people suddenly foamed at the mouth, fell to the ground, and finally died.
The magicians found toxins in their bodies.
Either the wine they drank before was poisoned, or they had taken poison a long time ago.
The court magicians did not hide the bodies, but reported them to the board of directors of the college.
By the next day, the whole school knew about this matter.
After listening to Elsa's description, Orson touched his chin and said:
"This is an obvious frame-up, but it's just that the court magicians can't rule out suspicion in this kind of thing."
"The most important thing is that some classmates are dissatisfied with them, and this incident happened after they came, so whether they are suspected or not, the students will exclude them."
"That's right!" Elsa agreed.
"So we have no way now, and I don't know what to do."
"Olivia was still here a few days ago, but now she's gone. I'm an office director, and even if I'm the princess, they won't obey me."
Elsa said helplessly.
"It's just that I didn't know they would invite you back."
As she said this, she looked up at Orson again.
"By the way, Orson, does your return this time mean that our control area has been connected to the Imperial Academy?"
"If that's the case, should I come back? Wouldn't it be better to just let the Court Magician Corps withdraw to our base?"
"Eh? Then...then how did you get here?"
"I have my own way."
Orson said mysteriously.
...
On the other side, the fake Orson just looked up at Arthas, showed a weird smile, and then fell on his back.
His physique is 90% similar to Orson, and under the cover of the soldier's helmet, it's really hard to tell whether it's Orson.
But when he really saw the facial features, Arthas immediately knew that he was fooled.
He was fooled, and the one he killed was a fake Orson. The real Orson is probably now in the Imperial Academy.
Arthas was so angry that he wanted to ask the stand-in in front of him, but he didn't expect that the stand-in had lost his breath.
Langdon squatted down, put his hand to the tip of the stand-in's nose, confirmed that the stand-in had no breath, and after carefully confirming that it was not fake death, he turned his head to look at Arthas and shook his head.
"Is this some kind of evil magic?"
Arthas looked at the man who was originally upright and suddenly fell down, and asked in confusion.
"It doesn't look like it." Langdon frowned and shook his head.
"He should have taken some kind of poison, and just now, the poison took effect and died."
As he said this, Langdon opened the other person's mouth and scraped a circle in the mouth with his gloved index finger. Sure enough, a bunch of black things hung out of it.
"Poison."
Langdon said concisely.
"The other party prepared poison in advance to prevent us from interrogating them."
"..."
Arthas was furious when he heard this.
Why did he feel as if every step he took was planned by Orson.
"What should we do? Orson should have entered the Imperial Academy by now."
"It doesn't matter. As long as the communication between the Imperial Academy and the outside world is blocked, Orson will not be able to get out?"
At this time, Langdon proposed a plan to make up for the loss.
"...That's true."
Arthas nodded.
Although there is no way to capture Orson here directly, when Orson leaves the command position, the strength of the coalition will definitely be greatly reduced.
As long as he ensures that Orson stays in the Imperial Academy, it doesn't matter if he stays there for the rest of his life.
After all, on the battlefield, except for Orson, Arthas has never been afraid of anyone.
"Then... pass on my order to block the Imperial Academy and put pressure on the Council. Now only entry is allowed but not exit."
Arthas looked at the guards beside him and gave his own order.
"Understood."
Chapter 57: Return my legion to me! (4K)
On the other hand, the main force of the imperial army is only three days away from Saint Laurent City. Scaloni and Arthas keep in constant contact every day and know each other's situation.
On the way back to Saint Laurent City today, he plans to hold a meeting among the officers in advance to stabilize the morale of the army.
After all, the imperial army is likely to attack the residents of Saint Laurent City next, so we have to give our men a shot of vaccination in advance, so that they are prepared to suppress and control the emotions of the soldiers.
After all, if we don't do that, the army will easily get into trouble.
Mutiny and rebellion are still good, but I am afraid that the lower-level army will completely lose control.
Scaloni was the last one to come to the conference hall. He passed a group of middle and senior officers and sat in the main seat. Then he looked at everyone and told them the purpose of holding this meeting.
"Everyone, this meeting is held near Saint Laurent City to talk about some things. Everyone knows that Saint Laurent City is now divided into two parts by armed forces. Some people have joined the ranks of betraying His Majesty the Emperor under the instigation of the thieves. What we have to do is to wipe out all these traitors, but in the process, if we encounter resistance from the instigated people, I also hope that my soldiers can swing the sword in their hands."
Hearing Scaloni say this, a general raised an objection.
"General Scaloni, I think the army should not interfere in the affairs of the royal family. You and I all know that your son-in-law has become the emperor of the empire. We all understand that you are on his side, but I, a native of Saint Laurent City, cannot do anything to my compatriots. Sorry, I can't do it."
"If it is the order of His Majesty the Emperor, we will certainly obey it, but now the situation is complicated, I think the army should be more determined to protect its bottom line."
Another general also spoke up.
They are all generals in the imperial army on weekdays, which is the same level. They will only be different because of the emperor's orders and the tasks they are responsible for in the war.
Therefore, it is understandable that everyone does not buy Scaloni's account.
After all, Scaloni had just lost a battle before, and it was entirely thanks to Arthas that he was able to return to the army and take power. Why should he order these old hands?
After several defeats, they felt even more so.
"..." Scaloni heard this and his expression was extremely uncomfortable.
He had thought that these people would not obey him, but he did not expect them to show it so quickly.
Therefore, Scaloni could only bring up the Buddha of Alsace.
"Everyone, I am not holding this meeting to negotiate, but to give orders. You are all soldiers, and obeying orders is your natural duty. You are also generals appointed by the emperor himself, and the royal family has high expectations for you. Now that the royal family is in trouble, you don't rush to help, and you actually want to stay out of it?!"
