A detailed discussion.
With Edward's mental fortitude, he was shocked when he heard that the situation in the Earth Federation had suddenly changed. Knowing all of this, he was not surprised why Allen was in such a hurry to expand. Indeed, if he wanted to protect the clan. Not to mention controlling the empire, at the very least, Allen had to sit in the position of Grand Duke in order to protect his family. This was a path that could not be taken, but it had to be taken.
According to what Allen had said, Edward did not think that the Federation and the nobles would fall out completely in a short period of time. However, he had to prepare for this sooner or later.
After pondering for a moment, he drew two circles on the map of the Southern Territory in the study. One was Iron Spear Ridge, and the other was Earl Rackett's mountain city. Allen walked to the side and looked at the map. "Do you mean to clean up these two forces before we leave?"
"How greedy do you have to be?" Edward shook his head and said, "Just choose one to clean up. If you can eat Hoey, who is known as the number one person in the Southern Region." The Grand Duke probably wouldn't be able to do it, but the empire would definitely allow people to advance to Marquis. Moreover, it would be a promotion that would be too ostentatious. So my suggestion is that we might as well knock on this mountain city. There was no need to eat Mountain City, kill Rackett, cultivate one of his successors, and secretly support competitors. "As long as we get on the track, Mountain City won't even need us to take care of it. It will be chaotic for at least three to five years."
"Rackett's Mountain City is the most threatening of the Sir near our territory. Once he goes, you can go to the imperial capital without worry."
Allen looked at him and smiled.
Edward frowned and said, "You want to take me away too?"
"What, you don't want to?"
"Yes, but who are you going to throw this back to?" Edward said to himself, "Geordak is good at governing Dawn Castle, but his pattern is too small." The dragon had a lot of courage, but whether he was willing to stand in front of the curtain or not was another matter. Apart from the two of them, I took the time to nurture a few specialists, but it's not time to show them off yet. If you send me to the Imperial Capital, I can naturally help you share some of the pressure, but this territory … "
Allen patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll talk to Dragon. He'll take the job."
"It'd be great if Longken stepped forward. I've been observing him for the past few days. He's an introverted man, but he's definitely a hidden talent. But how can you guarantee that he will agree? "
"He doesn't want to study the celestial phenomenon, so I'll just let him know a little. In addition to those two war chariot assembly lines, I think that even if we wanted to chase the dragon away, it wouldn't be willing to leave. As for loyalty, since he knows the secret of the Celestials, do you think he'll be stupid enough to expose us like the Empire? "
Edward nodded cheerfully. "That's good. Since you've made up your mind, I don't mind taking a look at the scenery of the imperial capital. If you want to go to the imperial capital, you have to come into contact with Rhine. He has frequent dealings with Roger, and the power behind him is not simple. During this period, he has been doing business with Roger and secretly observing our development. "Of course, what he saw was what I let him see voluntarily. As for what he couldn't know, he had no way of knowing."
"This person has hinted through Roger more than once that he wants to work more closely with you."
Allen nodded and said, "I know. I already knew him at Ou Ban's banquet. Then arrange a time for me to meet him. "
"When do you plan to see him?"
"Let's get rid of the hidden danger in Mountain City first."
Edward smiled and said, "Alright, that way we'll have more bargaining power."
Allen put his hand on his shoulder and said, "It's good to talk to smart people. They don't talk nonsense and save a lot of saliva."
Edward slapped Allen's hand off like a fly and said calmly, "I'll arrange for Rhine, but there are a few more things I need to tell you."
Allen understood and looked away from the map of the Southern Territory. He asked, "What happened in the past six months?"
"It's a long story, but there are only a few things you need to know." Edward smiled maliciously, "The first thing is about His Highness."
"Which Highness?"
"Princess Lily, looks like you've really put me behind you."
Allen hit his head and said, "I really forgot. Why, she's already been here."
'"Here I am. Seeing that you're not here, I almost flipped over the City Lord's Mansion of the Bauhinia Flower Territory. I tried my best to convince her that you had something to postpone your return, not to deliberately break your promise. Based on this, shouldn't you give me some benefits? "
Allen nodded, "What do you want?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I've thought about it." Edward smiled and said, "Her Highness the Princess is almost here. No matter what, you have to see her before you go north. Otherwise, our Mr. Long probably won't be able to withstand a single fist from His Highness. "
"What's the exact date?"
"I'll definitely arrive before Miss Jorah's wedding at the latest."
"Then I understand. What's the second thing?"
"The second and third can actually be considered the same thing." Edward's smile faded and his expression turned serious. "Remember Carlo, who was killed by you earlier?"
"The son of the Bloody Earl?" Allen said, "Oh, he came looking for you?"
'"I haven't seen the count himself. After all, there's still an iron spear Hoey between Tiger Shark Harbor and us. If Eric swaggers through the city, do you think Old Hoey will let this big shark come? So it's just a bunch of small shrimps and fishes, not worth talking about. But there's no denying that Eric already knows that Carlo died here, and I believe he'll do something soon. " At this point, Edward smiled and said, "Of course, I also took this opportunity to deliberately let those little shrimps bring back some information. I don't expect it to be of much use, but it's probably still possible to mislead our Earl. "
"It's a pity that Tiger Shark Harbor is too far away from us. Otherwise, I'll kill Eric first. You don't have to spend too much energy on such a person." Allen said matter-of-factly. Seeing Edward's disbelieving expression, Allen shrugged and said, "I'm not bragging. In fact, I don't really care about Eric's strength right now." Unless he had a hand, but it shouldn't be possible. With the Bloody Earl's personality, if he had the strength to challenge the Marquis, he probably wouldn't have stayed in a small Tiger Shark Harbor long ago. "
Edward sighed, "Only now do I believe that you really have the strength to challenge Hoey. You really have dog shit luck."
"Cut the crap. Apart from Eric, who else has designs on us?"
Edward smiled but didn't answer.
Allen narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Could it be one of the Ten Saints, Sword Lord Mason?"
