"The Tirros family is a native aristocrat in Dilna. Unlike our Augustus family, the new nobleman who was born a hundred years ago, the Tirros family history is much longer than ours. According to records, it can be traced back to four hundred years ago."

As he said that, Austin paused for a moment, glanced over Allen and Renard's face, changed his tone, and said in a heavy tone: "And the Chris family is roughly the same."

Hearing this, Allen and Renard did not show any surprise on their faces. After all, they had already made plans to go south with Austin, so the necessary preparations before departure are definitely essential, and intelligence is the most critical part.

Whether it is ancient wars or modern wars, in general, they are wars of intelligence.

The amount of information you have is the size of your victory in the war.

As stated in that, if a person can achieve omniscience, he will also achieve omnipotence, because the two are complementary.

Therefore, when we know the degree of danger of going south, how could Allen and Renard not understand their enemies clearly?

While Austin was talking to them, relevant information automatically emerged in Allen's mind, and he began to recall the information he had swallowed before leaving.

Dilna City, located in the southern part of the empire, was a city built to protect the imperial capital in a sense.

Of course, it is impossible for the city that guards the imperial capital to be the only city of Dilna, which has other existences. However, in the southern part of the empire, Dilna is indeed the only existence.

Just looking at this point, no matter what other things, you will probably know what important position Dirna City is.

No matter what the perspective is, Dilna City can be regarded as a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

Such an important position determines that the ruler in Dilna City must be a royal trust.

Otherwise, if a group of wolves and ambitions live next door, no matter how grand the imperial capital is or how strong the defenses of the imperial capital are, the royal family will not be able to sleep peacefully.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

Although the royal family has always controlled the power and power of the empire in the past eight hundred years, and has not fallen from the throne and replaced by others, this does not mean that the royal family has been in prosperity during the past eight hundred years of storms.

They have also experienced falling into dust, and have been in turmoil, the most dangerous time, and even almost changed the world.

But in the end, they were reborn from corruption, sublimated from depravity, survived from death, and refuted their lives and continued again.

However, although the royal family survived that crisis, the consequences left by that incident have continued to this day. Even though several powerful emperors in the past few hundred years have wanted to eliminate the future, they have never found a good opportunity or no overwhelming advantage.

The situation in Dilna City is one of the consequences, and it can even be said to be one of the most serious ones.

After all, the throat of life and death is not the royal family, but the great nobles who depend on each other and fight for power and profit.

Although after that, these guys have been obedient and have not done anything harmful to the royal family.

However, just as the beast that has tasted human blood will not give up killing because of the strength of the enemy, these greedy guys will not give up their former ideas because of the current situation. They just hide the idea better, bury it deeper, and wait for a more suitable opportunity.

Indeed, today's times are prosperous, peaceful and stable.

But the royal family is very clear about where the current peace situation comes from. Because the royal family still maintains a strong force, suppresses the powerful force of all directions, and has a terrifying power to conquer the world, so those guys can only obey orders.

If someone dares to challenge this order, it will inevitably turn into powder.

But they cannot be strong forever, nor can they prosper forever. The times are constantly moving forward, and nothing can last forever. If there is, it is just a change itself.

Therefore, they have to consider what to do if their descendants weaken, and what if their descendants encounter the crisis of another world again.

However, what they could think of in the end was to leave enough foundation and accumulate enough chips, giving their descendants more opportunities for trial and error, and more trump cards to correct the situation.

And if we talk about this, then Dilno City is a threshold that cannot be avoided.

After that incident, the dilemma of Dirno City was not unseen by the far-sighted heroes, they also made corresponding efforts, but most of them went to a failed ending and did not make a real breakthrough.

However, the most recent, Charles VII, a hero a hundred years ago, had the feat of creating the world, and used the development of science and technology, to bring the empire into the supreme prestige of the Steam Age, and to extend his tentacles to the city of Dilno.

Since then, after leaving the imperial control for more than 400 years, Dirno City has once again approached the royal-centered political and economic circle.

Of course, this does not mean that this matter is solved perfectly. After all, the Tilros and Chris family in Dilno City still exist. The Augustus family only separated part of the rights of Dilno City, allowing it to approach the royal family actively, and greatly reduced the threat of Dilno City to the imperial capital.

But in essence, Dirno City is at most a neutral state under the balance of the two forces, and the royal family's great cause of collecting power has not been completely successful.

Even if someone could combine the complicated and repeated information through the smoke and clouds of history, he would be surprised to find that in the era of the low magic tide, a scientific system that was not inferior to the extraordinary system, had great prestige among the people, and made a series of almost unprecedented achievements. The time of his death was not far from the time when he began a new round of big moves in his later years.

That's right, this guy who dominated the breaking of religious beliefs and converted to the truth and facts did things in his later years, in addition to believing in theology and the Holy See, he also did serious things in his later years. However, because he did not succeed in the end, and other reasons, most of the things that Charles VII left for later generations were absurd impressions in his later years.

Few people know that this legendary emperor, who had a magnificent first half of his life, was not as absurd and crazy as recorded in history.

Thinking of these corners of history that are shrouded in the clouds and those buried pasts, Alan frowned unconsciously and closed his eyes slightly tiredly.

Although he had known that they would encounter a considerable degree of danger this time, it was not until now that he understood what Dirno City meant that he truly realized the kind of existence they were facing for the first time.

Not only from the Gun Flame Family, but also from Austin's second uncle, Dalton Augustus, but also from the resistance of the other two backbone families of the conservative schools in Dilno City. More from the pressure of most other conservative aristocrats.

After all, they are absolutely unwilling to see a guy who is obviously close to the north and close to the royal family regaining control of the Augustus family, allowing them to work hard for many years once.

Thinking of this, Allen's headache became more and more severe.

And at this moment, Austin's explanation continued.

"The Tilros family and the Chris family are both Earls like our Augustus family, but Tilros mainly intervenes in the pharmaceutical industry of the empire, while the Chris family mainly intervenes in the energy industry of the empire."

"And we, just from the name of the Count of Gun Flame, knows roughly how we made our fortune back then. The first patriarch of the Augustus family took charge of the arms logistics for Charles VII during the steam revolution."

"After making a fortune, we did not give up our old business, so we mainly intervened in the empire's arms industry."

Speaking of this, Austin glanced at Allen who seemed to be wandering outside the sky, and said with some headaches.

"But you also know that after the end of that change a hundred years ago, the entire empire, both openly and secretly, had reached a low point."

"Although we still maintain the corresponding power and do not fall into majestic power, the corresponding economic strength, development speed, existing foundation and other aspects are still inferior to the other two."

"If we hadn't had the clear support of the royal family, we would probably have been eaten by both of them to the point of not even leaving any residue."

Boer sat quietly beside him, his burly body like a violent bear, motionless, standing like a mountain, majestic and calm.

He has maintained this silent posture since Austin spoke, without saying a word.

Because he knew his position very well, even though he had a close relationship with Austin, he was already an executor, not a leader.

Therefore, he did not try to interrupt Austin while he was talking. Even if he had other opinions, he would only talk to Austin after he came down, and would not let Austin get out of Taiwan in front of others.

And Renard and Allen, opposite Austin and Boll, had a strange posture.

Renard had thick dark circles, leaning lazily on the seat as if he had fallen asleep. However, the eyes that were still open and closed showed that this guy who was breathing long and deep as if he was sleeping was still listening.

Alan, instead of looking at Austin like Reynard, he seemed to be listening attentively, but his somewhat lost eyes said that Alan was not as serious as he showed.

However, Austin did not question the situation of Allen and Renard, because he knew that the two people on the other side were just using this method to relieve fatigue and broaden their minds, rather than truly distracted.

After all, if that were the case, they would not have risked their huge lives to go south with him.

After roughly explaining the situation in Dilno City, Austin paused for a moment and then said calmly.

"Eight years ago, when my father passed away, I suspected the Tilros and the Chris family, but because of the turmoil and unstable situation at that time, I could not conduct a complete and comprehensive investigation."

"Later, Dalton seized power and drove me to the northern border, and there was no chance."

"So over the years, I have never known who the real murderer is."

"But now, I found it." Austin suddenly looked up, and a cold light flashed in his pupils, as if the blade was dazzling and extremely sharp.

A surging murderous intent suddenly surged out, and the air around seemed to be oppressed and quiet.

The sleeping sleeping around them subconsciously shrank, as if a little cold.

However, the next moment, the chill disappeared without a trace, and the stagnant air began to flow again, as if everything before was an illusion.

However, Allen and Renard would not think so.

At some point, they were already sitting upright and looked at Austin with a bright look.

"Austin, do you have any evidence?"

Alan tapped the iron box that had been placed in the long knife with his index finger and asked without any hope.

"No." Sure enough, Austin shook his head and gave his expected reply.

"If not, then the truth or not of this matter is meaningless, everything is just our guess."

Allen looked at Austin and whispered.

"I understand." Austin's face was not as clear as the calm and calm attitude was once again restored to his calmness.

Dada dada...

A slight knock sounded in the ears of the awake people, accompanied by a crisp and lively rhythm.

clatter!

The sound of knocking suddenly paused, and Allen spoke as if he had thought of something.

"These guys tonight are from those two families. We have corpses in our hands. Can we end the emperor with this?"

"After all, he once said that this was just a family civil strife."

Allen looked at Austin expectantly and said meaningfully.

Austin nodded at Allen's doubts, but shook his head. After hesitating for a while, hesitated for a while, and finally he just spit out a few words, "It's not time yet."

【Time, when?】

Such a thought flashed through my mind, but Alan did not think deeply, but just buried it in his heart.

"Okay, if there is no other external assistance, then we have to consider how to rush to Dirno if our whereabouts are already exposed."

Alan sighed, skipped the unspeakable question before, and said straightforwardly.

"Yes, the most important thing now is not what happened eight years ago, nor is it the role that the Tilros and the Chris played in this incident."

"The most important thing is how we return to Dirno."

Renard also echoed, with a faint glow in his eyes and a calm expression.

"Returning to Dirno City is the premise of everything. If this goal cannot be achieved, then our probability of success is close to zero."
