Ark Harbor.
It was still before nine o\ 'clock in the morning when carriages drove into the small square of White Castle. Each carriage had a unique emblem on it, indicating that it belonged to a different Sir. The Sir who were subordinate to Ou Ban got off the carriage one by one. When they saw each other, they only greeted each other and followed the butler into the castle.
Grar was among them. His face was expressionless, his expression was deep, and he looked unhappy.
Indeed, ever since he took over Sunset City, Grar had been busy from morning to night, as if he had just succeeded as the Lord back then. Ever since Allen had emptied Sunset City\'s resources, Grar had become extremely careful. He was no longer at ease to leave all the affairs of Sunset City to Tomen. The Viscount waved all his diligence and stayed with the mountain of documents early in the morning.
He was worried that even an inconspicuous expenditure would make a big deal out of it. After a few times, Tuomen was also happy to be idle. He simply handed over all the documents that needed to be approved to Grar. Grar quickly felt that something was wrong. How could there be so many documents that needed to be approved in a small Sunset City?
However, at this moment, he was afraid that Tuomen would do something to him, so he could only bite the bullet and bear it all by himself. In less than a month, Viscount Grayer was already exhausted. Today, he was summoned by Ou Ban, so he had an excuse to leave the mountain of documents and sneak out of Sunset City ahead of time.
At this moment, a Sir walked up to him and whispered, "Have you heard? Viscount. "
"What is it?" Glar had been tortured by his work day and night recently, so how could he have the energy to pay attention to the outside world?
"That Sir Allen has already taken down the Bauhinia Collar a few days ago." The Sir said with a bitter face, "Now that he has outstanding military merits, I\'m afraid we won\'t have a good life in the future."
"He didn\'t occupy your territory. He has his. You have yours. What\'s there to worry about?" Glar sneered.
"Yes, yes, yes, the Viscount\'s teachings are correct. However, it\'s hard to guarantee that they have a big appetite. Those territories might not be satisfied. At that time, I\'m afraid they\'ll attack us. Of course, Lord Viscount doesn't have to worry. I don't think he has the guts to attack you. After all, your family relationship with Earl Oban is there. "
Glar frowned. This was not entirely unreasonable. He said in a deep voice, "Do all of you think so?"
Seeing that there was a turning point in Glar's words, the Sir immediately said, "We plan to strike first, just like you did last time, to divide this Sir Allen's power. It can also be considered self-protection." If Lord Glar supports us, we can recommend you to get the Bauhinia collar. Heh, that territory's taxes must be quite high. "
Glar snorted and said, "Forget it, a Sunset City has already tormented me enough. If there's another redbud flower, do you still want me to live? I support you in this matter, but don't push me out. Whoever you like can do it. "
"If that's the case, then we won't force you." The Baron smiled, retreated, and whispered to the other Sir.
A moment later, they arrived at the meeting room. Ou Ban was already sitting in the middle of the meeting room. He looked at them with a smile and said, "Good morning, Sir. Everyone, sit down."
After all the Sir took their seats, Ou Ban gestured for the butler and guards to leave and close the door for the Sir. Ou Ban coughed dryly and said, "I\'ve asked everyone to come here today because there\'s something I want to discuss with you. I\'m sure you\'ve received the news that our Sir Allen was very brave and defeated Tucker and Daniel\'s elite cavalry in the Blue Wilderness three days ago. On the same day, he entered the Bauhinia collar and made Oru Kaicheng surrender the next day. Now, this territory is in my hands. "
"Count, this is the last honor we have. We have to celebrate." Fatty Eni said with a flushed face.
The other Sir looked at him coldly, making Baron Eni feel rather awkward. Judging from his appearance, it was obvious that the other Sir hadn\'t told him what everyone was thinking. Eni sensed that something was amiss and could only obediently shut his mouth.
Ou Ban laughed and said, "You\'re right, Eni. This is indeed a great honor. My territory has expanded by more than half. It was even more pleasant to be able to embarrass Daniel. Just like you said, we definitely have to celebrate. But before that, we need to solve the problem. "
The Sir gave Glar a look, and the latter understood. He straightened his back slightly and said, "Lord Oban, allow me to interrupt."
"Go ahead." Ou Ban was obviously in a good mood today, and he didn\'t blame Grar for interrupting him.
\ '"It\'s a good thing to expand your territory, but you should also consider whether Sir Allen has too much territory as a baron. Hungry Wolf Territory, Dawn Castle, Bauhinia. Hey, he has three baronial territories by himself. Such a large territory is enough for a viscount, right? Oh, look, my territory is much smaller than Sir Allen\'s, and he\'s only a baron! "
"What do you mean, Iglar?"
"Split." Glar raised his palm and made a chopping motion. "At the very least, one of the territories should be handed over by Sir Allen."
Ou Ban pointed at Glar and said, "Do you think Sunset City is not enough? Do you want to take care of another territory?"
Glar\'s expression changed and he waved his hand. "I\'m just giving my personal opinion. As for the territory, the extra Sunset City has already made me busy enough. Please consider the others, Count."
"Glar, you have such a modest time, hey." Ou Ban laughed and said seriously, "That\'s exactly what I want to discuss with you. After Baron Allen occupied the Bauhinia, he submitted some suggestions to me." One of them is the management of the Bauhinia Territory. Sir Allen feels that his strength is not enough to manage so many territories. He intends to hand over the Bauhinia and let me handle it. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the Sir\'s expressions became a little strange. The Bauhinia territory was different from the Hungry Wolf Territory. It was even richer than Dawn Castle, which was known as the "granary". That territory was no different from a piece of fat, and Sir had yet to see anyone spit out the fat they had swallowed.
If they were to hand over the territory, they would definitely choose the Hungry Wolf Ridge, because everyone knew that spreading that territory would greatly reduce their annual income.
Glar took a deep breath and calmed down his thoughts. He deliberately sneered and said, "Who knows if Sir Allen will do the same thing again and drain all the wealth of the Bauhinia before handing it over. Heh, I advise all of you not to be too naive. "
Ou La smiled and picked up a piece of information from the stage. "Baron Allen has sent a list of bauhinia supplies over the past few days. Although it was only a rough estimate, it could be used as a reference. So personally, I think Sir Allen is very sincere. "Of course, he hopes to hand over Sunset City to him. After all, a group of his soldiers come from Sunset City. He hopes to let the soldiers protect his city."
"Use the Bauhinia Flower to exchange for Sunset City?" "This is really a big deal," said Glar with a dry smile. "I really don\'t know what\'s good about that broken city."
"In that case, why don\'t you go to the Bauhinia and hand it over to Sir Allen?"
"Count, do you agree to his terms?" Said Glar in surprise.
"Why not? Using Sunset City to exchange for the Bauhinia Flower was not a loss. And that was also the actual situation of Sir Allen. He managed a Dawn Castle, and it was already his limit to take care of Fenrir City and Sunset City. No matter what, he could not divert his attention to run another Bauhinia. The fact that he was able to make such a suggestion meant that Sir Allen knew his weight and position very well. Of course, I will do my best to cause such a thing. Do you want to object? "Ou Ban asked deliberately.
"No, no, no, of course I don\'t mean that. Alright, I will manage the Bauhinia for you, Count. "Glar stood up with a respectful expression.
The expressions of the Sir behind him changed slightly. Everyone glared fiercely at Grar before lowering their heads to avoid revealing their thoughts.
Ou Ban laughed and said, "It\'s best if you agree, Grar. However, the Bauhinia is different from Sunset City. I\'m worried that you won\'t be able to handle too many things. How about this, I\'ll give you some more people. "
"Mr. Long."
The door to the side hall of the meeting room quietly opened, and a man with an Oriental face walked out. His rare black silk-like luster flowed in the sunlight, and he slowly walked over with his hands behind his back. He had a certain demeanor. He bowed to Ou Ban and walked behind the count.
\ '"Even I admire Mr. Long\'s wisdom. If you are in trouble, ask Mr. Long for advice, Glar. He can also take care of some of your daily chores and share the pressure of your work. " Ou Ban said seriously, "The Bauhinia Collar and Daniel\'s own territory are only separated by a thin line. There is great wealth there, and there are equally great challenges waiting for you. I don\'t trust the Bauhinia Army alone, so I will transfer the Deep Sea Scaled Concubine over to help you stabilize that position. "
The Deep Sea Scaled Concubine was Ou Ban\'s direct descendant army. Commander Jorah was Ou Ban\'s younger sister. She was young and sexy, had a heroic temperament, and possessed the strength of Level 20. With her in charge, she could be considered to be able to control the situation. However, as a result, Grar\'s excitement had disappeared. Ou Ban arranged for Mr. Long and his sister to stay in the Bauhinia Collar. On the surface, they were assisting Grar, but in reality, they were holding the territory tightly in their own hands.
Grar was reduced to a veritable manager without any real power. However, he had already agreed just now, but he couldn\'t find an excuse to escape now, so he could only bite the bullet and admit it.
Next were some insignificant arrangements. For example, Ou Ban was going to hold a celebration dinner and would invite Allen back to attend. After the meeting, Ou Ban let the others leave first, leaving Mr. Long alone.
\ '"I\'ll have to trouble Mr. Long to take care of everything when I go to the Bauhinia Collar this time. Glar is equivalent to my spokesperson. He can go to the official social intercourse, but Mr. Long has to catch other important matters. Also, although my sister Jorah\'s strength is not bad, she is still too young. My father had a daughter in his middle age and doted on her. After her father left, she was taken care of by me and rarely left my side. I\'m not by her side, so only Mr. Long can watch over her and not let her get into any trouble. " Ou Ban warned, "If I encounter any danger, I don\'t want the Bauhinia Flower, but Jorah has to bring it back for me."
Mr. Long nodded and said, "This subordinate will remember." Before he left, he wanted to remind the count one more time. If he wanted to hold back Sir Allen, he had to lay out the plan as soon as possible. This time, he was willing to abandon the large territory of the Bauhinia Flower and take the small place of Sunset City. It could be seen that he was a person who knew how to make choices. Such a person was a hundred times more dangerous than those greedy fellows. "Moreover, he is even willing to spit out the Bauhinia Flower. This means that he must be plotting more than just the Bauhinia Flower."
\ '"I know. At the celebration banquet, I\'ll test his intentions. If I can\'t satisfy him, then I\'ll have to think of another way. To be honest, he is a talent. My subordinates are mostly idiots. I really can\'t bear to destroy him. "Ou Ban smiled bitterly.
\ '"Count, a flock of sheep is easier to manage than a wolf. If you rashly put the wolf in the sheep pen, the sheep will be eaten by the wolf sooner or later. At that time, the wolf will not be satisfied with staying in the sheep pen. "With these words, Mr. Long bowed deeply and retreated.
"A wolf?" Ou Ban shook his head and looked out of the window, speechless for a moment.
On the north side of the border between the Santa Trina Sea and the empire, there was a deep-sea harbor. Four hundred years ago, this was still a barren land in the empire, with only a small fishing village. The villagers made a living by fishing offshore, and it wasn\'t until a man came here that the village began to change. The man got a big boat from somewhere and gathered the strongest men in the village to go out to sea.
This trip lasted for more than a month. Just when everyone thought that they had been buried in the sea of rage, they returned. Not only did he come back, he also brought a deep-sea killer whale. It was a mutated killer whale with a horn-like shape on its head from a mutated cuticle. It was also known as the Narwhal King. This whale king brought earth-shattering changes to the village. The whale king\'s body was filled with treasures, from the most expensive horn to the whale meat and whale blood. Everything could be sold for money.
When the news that the village had caught a whale king spread, a large number of merchants rushed here. From that day onwards, the village became a small seafood market. After that, he had a dock of his own. The whaling ships increased from one to three, and two years later to ten. Five years later, there were already thirty whaling ships constantly appearing at the dock.
One dock was no longer enough, so a small port appeared here. More and more merchants came here to buy killer whale parts. They simply invested their money here, and the village became a small town. Ten years later, it became a slightly larger city. After hundreds of years of operation, this place had become the current Killer Whale Harbor. And the man who brought about the change to the village back then was the ancestor of Earl Eric, Hamdilis!
