Chapter 195.8 : (Juno’s POV) A Genius Strategist?! The Vice Leader of the Resistance Group Is a Capable Man!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The Blue Brigade invaded the residence and successfully rescued Bavarian-sama without any incident. When we entered the mansion, all of Heinrich’s soldiers were already in the land of dream. We used rope to immobilize the enemy so we could strip their equipment off and cram all of them in one of the rooms. We locked them in that room until the operation was finished.

I was relieved we didn’t need to engage in any battle. 

Although the soldiers were our enemy, the fact that they were still the residents of Resta didn’t change. I didn’t want to take any unnecessary life and the whole brigade also shared the same sentiment as me.

Furthermore, there was a risk that the remainder of Heinrich’s soldiers who didn’t get intoxicated by the sleeping drug would come to check on the situation. So, in order to create the perfect camouflage to deceive Heinrich, we made sure we had a double agent in Heinrich’s side and then, we had some of our men to change into the uniform of Heinrich’s soldier and strategically placed them to create the illusion that Bavarian-sama was still imprisoned.

We returned to our hideout with Bavarian-sama and his beloved horse in tow.

We successfully rescued Bavarian-sama which meant we had completed the first phase of our plan. As for Bavarian-sama, he gave us an order to move the money and valuable goods from the safe in his residence into the warehouse in our hideout. He said the money should be used in order to give a decent remuneration to the members of Blue Brigade, to cover the cost of the group’s operating expenses and to pay off the fund we had to extort in order to pull influential individuals to our side.

Now then, our victory or defeat will be decided from this point onward.

Lightning speed.We immediately moved to the second phase of our plan. If we didn’t make our move now, things might escalate into an armed conflict. We must avoid that at all costs.

First, we had to bring the adventurers’ guild master, Shrike, to our side. We received a letter written by Bavarian-sama and used it to invite Shrike to our hideout. After Bavarian-sama persuaded Shrike, we succeeded in bringing Shrike to join our cause. Shrike was originally someone who had pledged his loyalty to Bavarian-sama after all. He was well acquainted with Keigo too. Shrike was aware that Heinrich was the type of person who only moved based on his selfish greed alone. Also, the fact that a lot of adventurers were taking part in Blue Brigade and we all wished to bring Bavarian-sama back into power and to rescue Keigo also greatly helped Shrike into making his decision.

And so, we succeeded in gaining the support of a big organization, the adventurers’ guild. 

In addition, Bavarian-sama also went around to meet with the town council members in person to persuade them. He was accompanied by Elsa’s father, Barrack, who was also a member of the town council. When the town council members knew that Heinrich was trying to fill his own pocket by taking advantage of his position, they all agreed to reinstate Bavarian-sama. 

Thus,concluded the third phase of our plan. 

Blue Brigade successfully persuaded the town council members without engaging in armed conflict with Heinrich’s side. 

Proceeding at lightning speed, everything up to this point was all done in less than a day after we succeeded in rescuing Bavarian-sama. 

And now, we were about to reach the final phase of our operation. The day of the town council regular meeting finally arrived.

T/N: Ooooh! I see so they’re trying to overthrow Heinrich not by force but by politics. That’s why they need to persuade the town council member. Well, they need physical force to rescue Bavarian first though, so recruiting those skilled adventurers is also an important aspect of the whole mission.
