"Robin, well, in fact, all this is secondary. The real key point is not here." Beller raised his head and seemed to accidentally send the document in his hand slightly towards the front. In this way, Robin couldn't help but look at the document. This document seemed to be a letter, a handwritten letter, and the first few words aroused Robin's interest. Because he saw a keyword: Rafa.

"This is..."

"A letter from an old friend," replied Beller. "An old friend who happened to be in the northeast of Groney. He happened to be in the same place as General Rafa, so he shared his experiences with me."

His finger seemed to move, allowing Robin to see the signature and time at the end of the letter. The signature was a name that Robin had never seen before, and the date was yesterday. The letter written yesterday was read by Beller today. This alone shows that the letter was sent through magic communication.

Beller's hand moved and put the letter together.

"In the game of Groney," Berel replied. "The real key at the moment...or, the part that really makes people unable to understand is Rafa." He paused. "Byron has become a 'rebel'. He can now tear off all the covers and disguises and openly have a general showdown with all enemies. And the little queen... unless she gets support from external forces, her best result will be to slowly disappear like this. There is no free lunch in the world... If you receive assistance, it will basically be like losing your dominance and retreating from the position of the chess player. However, the other chess player, Rafa, has no action."

"General, I remember you said something similar in the past," Robin asked. "In this case, there are three choices. The first is to find a way to form an alliance with the little queen, the second is to find a way to form an alliance with Byron, and the third is to declare neutrality and wait for the other two to decide the outcome."

"Ah, his situation is different," said Beller. "He is the one who needs to put into military action at the fastest speed, but he does not."

"Why does he need to act as fast as possible? The other two..."

"Well, it is understandable that the little queen cannot move. She may want to move, but she cannot move. Although she has allegiance to the Guards, she has only so many soldiers. Unless she can organize a stable supplementary channel and a source of wealth, she cannot bear any serious casualties. A normal city offensive and defensive battle can cause her to suffer unbearable casualties. This is why the little queen gave up the opportunity to pursue Byron by victory and reorganized the area centered on Eagle Falcon City. Her plan was probably to gradually control it

This area, plus her position as the queen, was finally given stable finance, personnel and supplies. She thought very well, but unfortunately... her throne has been crippled by worms and has only a shell left. Byron may not have other abilities, but the ability to dig a corner of the royal family can get a full score. Even I have to accept a disadvantage. Have you heard that Groney's financial income in the past two years is only five or six million Jin Oli... The current little queen may finally find that she has to face a financial trap that is almost a bottomless pit."

"As for Byron, he had no reason to act. His first priority now is to turn his existing base into a barrel. Relying on his personal use and careful arrangements in the past, he has no financial crisis. He can take the defensive and patiently use various methods to win over those nobles with independent military power, and recruit troops that only serve him personally... You are welcome, as long as he drags on, he can win, and he will naturally not take the risk of attacking. As long as this confrontation continues, it will be a victory for him."

"But General Rafa...the situation is different from them. His situation is: he has abundant troops in his hands, but he does not have enough financial resources to maintain such a huge military power. If I were him, I would raise an army south as soon as possible when I heard the chaos in the Eagle Falcon City. As for the reason, whether it is loyal to the Queen to attack Byron or to clear the ruling of the court, it is nothing to do. In short, I should control the territory and financial resources as much as I can, at least to maintain the army in my hands. I can say what position I will take in the future, but now I must get the capital for independence." Berel sneered when he said this. "This is not a profound wisdom, at least a little smart person will do this... But our General Rafa did not do this. On the contrary, he did not move and seemed to know nothing."

He paused again, as if he was thinking about a problem in his mind.

"Robin, it's almost twenty days since time passed. But our General Rafael had no movement at all. What was he waiting for? For him, every day is precious now. Because I'm sure that the money in his hands will definitely not be able to support such a nearly 100,000 army... It only takes a year for his soldiers to be disloyal and even collapse without fighting."

"General, I think... you talk about money all the time."

"Money is the real key thing. Compared with the country, the army is equivalent to fists to the human body. The last thing that hits people is fists, but only fists have no meaning. In order to cultivate the fangs of war, there must be economic blood... An army, even if it doesn't move, needs to consume huge amounts of food and military pay every day. If a war occurs, then the money spent is even more exaggerated..." He murmured to himself softly. "Robin, no matter how you look at it, that General Rafa cannot stay at home and sleep peacefully like me."

Robin wanted to speak, but he didn't speak in the end. He had been with Berel for so long, so it was clear that the foolish-looking General Berel would probably take what action.

"Well, Groney's unrest... has caused uneasiness in other countries. In any case, Groney is also the first line of defense against the barbarians in the north. Its civil strife caused uneasiness in neighboring countries, which is a matter of course." Berel said to himself. "But if the envoys sent by the king publicly visit Groney's forces... there may be a possibility of being exploited... On the contrary, if it is just a private messenger sent by a certain minister, it will not attract the attention of any force...at least it will not cause any action..."

"Robin." Beller turned his head and looked at his subordinates. Before he became an adult, Robin was once Beller's entourage, but now he is an adjutant. Although Robin has seen many big scenes and is theoretically a genuine officer, in fact, he has never had the opportunity to stand alone. Such an opportunity may be just right. "What do you think if I let you go out for a long trip?"

...

"...The above is the latest information I got from Eagle City." After the messenger finished reciting, he respectfully handed the letter in his hand to a guard, and then handed it to Byron's hands.

"Well, it's really the little girl's naive idea to hand over all the official positions to one person." Byron glanced at the letter and laughed loudly. Suddenly, the entire conference room was filled with laughter.

"That Ash Rufate was really lucky. He was named Count at once, and then immediately became a man's imperial meeting. I think he must be very happy now. The only question is, how long can his mood last?"

Suddenly another burst of laughter filled the conference room, and even Essin laughed dryly and responded to the situation.

They are now in Fornoros, the center of the Duke of Byron's private territory. This city was once a royal city, and the position where Byron is now sitting was once a throne. In fact, if we push it up for four generations, Byron's great-grandfather once wore a crown on his head. However, with the emergence of the wilderness sage Garunas, Byron's ancestors had to take off the crown on his head and surrender to King Markremiz, in order to exchange for the continuation of the family. But now, this crown seems to be about to appear on Byron's head again.

At least the situation looked very good. Before evacuating Eagle City, Byron played a trick, and killed most of the middle and high-level officials in Eagle City, making it impossible for the little queen to regain the royal city. This was actually just a temporary solution. To be honest, it couldn't last too long, but it successfully delayed the little queen's footsteps, making her unable to pursue it. Byron easily returned to Fornoros without any damage, and it could even be said to have returned full of money - because he brought back all the funds in the Eagle City treasury. All he left was the loan receipt and advance tax bills full of the warehouse.

Byron once boasted about this on his way to retreat - not to mention anything else, the salary of the Guards next month is a problem for the Little Queen.

"Esing, what's wrong with you?" Clio beside Esing noticed his friend's attitude. To be honest, there seems to be no dissatisfaction with the situation at the moment, because Esing was originally just a queen's personal guard, but now he has been appointed as a "staff officer" military post, and is also qualified to attend Byron's meeting in Fornoros City - to outsiders, this itself is an extraordinary promotion and has reached the top in one step.

"No... nothing," Essin replied. "I was just scared. The little queen really dared to do it, just piled all the positions on one person's head."

"She is just a kid, and it's common to be whimsical," Cleo replied.

"It's whimsical, but that Ash Rufate... actually got a lot of money in one go..."

"This is a naked robbery," Cleo replied. "But there are only a few fat sheep that are rich on the one hand and lack power on the other hand. He can't grab the heads of those multinational chambers of commerce-if that is true, the Duke would be really eager."

"Is that right... I hope I'm over-thinking." Essin replied softly.

"What are you worried about?" Clio asked in confusion. "Eshu Rufate gets some money through such public robbery, but his debts are more. Although I heard that he is very rich... but even if the wealth is as rich as a country, he cannot fill this bottomless pit."

Essin forced a smile. Maybe Cleo was right, he shouldn't have been worrying so much... This financial black hole was spent by Duke Byron, and he worked hard to dig it out bit by bit. How could Essus Rufate fill it?
