Rean told Cassius roughly the same thing he told Reinhardt.
Mainly in the way of "curse" operation, the emphasis is on the "struggle" aspect, and other details, especially some changes within the empire, are not mentioned much.
Firstly, it’s because time is limited.
Secondly, after all, Cassius is Lieber's number three person and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. There are some things that are not suitable to be told to him.
This does not mean that Rean does not trust Cassius. On the contrary, if he did not trust him, this meeting would not have happened.
But trust does not mean that there is no reservation. There are secrets between close relatives, let alone just brothers?
Cassius obviously knew this too, so Rean said that he listened quietly without interrupting the whole process, and even stopped Estelle and Agathe from speaking several times.
It wasn't until Rean explained the entire mechanism and closed his mouth that he gently exhaled:
"I see, I almost understand the truth about the Empire's Treasure. Indeed, like the 'Sky Treasure', it is an existence beyond imagination."
Because I have experienced it, I know that the more impossible it is, the more likely it is, and I have no doubts about Rean's statement.
His emotion is also the emotion of everyone, whether it is Laura, Levi and others who have heard it once, or Estil and his party who have heard it for the first time.
But because Cassius spoke, they didn't say it openly.
If it was the kind of situation in the old vii class, I would have been amazed and gasped for air-conditioning. Now I am at most stunned or whispering.
Cassius ignored the reactions of others and continued: "What do you want me to do?"
Rean used extraordinary means. Going to the border party in the middle of the night could not be as simple as stating the truth.
This is just the beginning, gaining trust, stating interests, and then the most critical, practical actions.
Both senior and junior brothers understand this.
"First of all, I hope that senior brother will take precautions. Within Liber, Liber's ally Kalvard, and even other countries bordering the empire, are all prepared to resist the empire's attack."
Prepared war and unprepared war are two completely different things. Before the do-over, although the empire did not attack suddenly, it did not take much time from the promulgation of the National Mobilization Law to the official dispatch of troops.
According to Rean's judgment after his return, the countries were definitely not in a perfect state to face the empire with full firepower. If countries can be more fully prepared, they can further contain the empire's offensive and reduce unnecessary losses.
The losses here are for both sides. The wider the battle lines are, the greater the burden will be on both the offensive and defensive sides.
If we can focus on a few points, even if each of them invests tens of thousands of troops, the losses will be much smaller. After all, this is not the age of cold weapons. No country will be stupid enough to use flesh and blood to withstand artillery fire unless it is absolutely necessary. land.
"Don't worry, I will arrange this as soon as possible." Cassius promised without any ambiguity. "Based on your estimate, how long will it take to develop to the worst result?"
"Not in the near future, but it won't take too long, maybe three to four months."
Rean didn't say too much. After all, before he came back, he would definitely take action and maybe change something after coming back.
"I understand." Cassius nodded, "The inside story about the empire's treasure."
"Senior brother, we will deal with the situation according to the situation."
Li En dared to say this, and he certainly had the confidence.
This kind of inside story is destined to be impossible to make public. Only a few high-level people in various countries will know it. Whether it is concealed or not makes little difference, and it is impossible to go to the Emperor or Prime Minister Osborne for verification.
If you ask, they won't admit it.
You can only hold back and be careful. Secret preparation can only be done secretly, not openly.
There is no sign of it on the surface of the empire. If you suddenly prepare for war in a big way, it will leave a reputation for the empire.
The most that can be done is to send intelligence personnel to investigate.
But how can such a thing be so easy to investigate? The Empire is the most aggressive country in the Western Continent. In recent years, there have been constant wars. Many countries have sent people to the Empire, but who has noticed any clues?
"I have only one request"
"I will not disclose the source of the information, only that I learned it through special channels."
Talking to smart people means peace of mind, and tonight's meeting speaks for itself.
Cassius thought for a while and then said: "Have you told Prince Oribat about these things?"
"Not yet, I haven't found the right time." Rean shook his head.
Oribat is also trustworthy, but he has been severely suppressed by Osborne recently, and he is very frustrated. He is also closely watched from all sides, so Rean does not dare to alert him.
"Find an opportunity as soon as possible. If countries act in a targeted manner, he will be the first to be suspected."
"Understood."
Rean's mind turned around and he knew what Cassius meant.
Prince Olibat had a wide network of friends and had good relations with political figures from various countries. He also always stood out against the prime minister and the war. No one would be surprised if he did something like this.
"Is there anything else you want me to do?" Cassius asked again.
Notifying other countries and making preparations in secret is not a request at all, but rather a favor from Rean.
"Yes, I hope to get some advice from my senior brother to see if there is anything worth starting so that we can completely resolve the curse with minimal losses."
This is the main purpose of Li En's trip.
Curse of the Empire is so disgusting. He thought about it for three weeks, but the progress was very limited. It was all about details, and the main body was almost untouched.
It's not that Rean isn't working hard enough or smart enough.
The reincarnation of Drekels, and the genius of Osborne, who has been planning for more than ten years, is just the ending before his comeback, let alone Rean?
In desperation, he could only turn to his opponent Cassius, whom Osborne gave the highest praise for help.
Cassius lived up to Rean's expectations, although the beginning was
"It's such a difficult question, and you think too highly of me, senior brother."
But then
“I didn’t expect the solution, but there is an idea to minimize the loss.
The key is how to define this 'spirit of struggle', whether it is the panic caused by war, or the real need for bloodshed, or something else.
As long as not all conditions are met, there are loopholes that can be exploited. Based on Liber’s experience, I personally feel that the so-called mechanism cannot be flawless.
When the Osares family, the ancestors of the Liber royal family, sealed the 'Treasure of the Sky', they never thought about lifting the seal, but it was finally unlocked.
In addition, you can also consider borrowing the power of other treasures. You just said that the "Phantom Flame Project" is to use Crossbell's "phantom" to stir up the "flame" of the empire. Since the "phantom" can stir up the "flame", other treasures may also be able to stir up the "flame". Although I think this hope is slim, But it is also a direction that can be tried.
That's all I can think of for now. If there is more information, there may be other ideas. But since you didn't say it, it means it's not something I should know. "
"Thank you for your understanding, senior brother."
Rean scratched his cheek, and both parties understood each other tacitly.
"How should I put it? He is indeed a rare strategist. He has really benefited me a lot."
"As long as it's rewarding, if I think of anything else, I'll find a way to let you know."
Cassius chuckled.
Things like comings and goings must come and go, and unilateral comings and goings are destined to not last long.
"Thank you, senior brother."
"I remember you said there are two purposes; the other is"
"It's a personal matter of mine. I've encountered some confusion in sword skills. I hope senior brother will give me some advice."
