Alfalfa City.
The garden behind the Cathedral of Holy Light was filled with the faint aroma of black tea.
The Earl Of Avon looked at the slightly bleak yet undefeated late autumn scenery in the garden and said,
"Look, there must be hundreds of flowers blooming here in the summer, but they disappear in the blink of an eye. No matter how beautiful the flowers are, they will only last for a summer. What's the difference between people? "
He put down the teacup in his hand and sighed. It was unknown whether he was lamenting the withering of the flowers or the impermanence of life.
Orlando, who had just taken over as the President of the Alfalfa Brotherhood, sat respectfully to the side. His brain was working so fast that it almost turned into a whirlpool. He carefully considered every word and sentence of the Earl Of Avon, hoping to make the most appropriate response.
The Earl Of Avon continued, "Sometimes I admire the gardeners. They always manage this place beautifully according to the different seasons, so that this garden presents a completely different beauty in different seasons."
Orlando understood tacitly and immediately said in the most sincere tone.
"My Lord, I am willing to be the most humble gardener under your command and create the most beautiful scenery for you!"
In the face of Orlando's display of loyalty, the Earl Of Avon chuckled and glanced at him. He nodded noncommittally and said,
"I know of your talent. It would be a waste of your talent to only be a gardener. Moreover, I don't want the beautiful scenery to be limited to this garden."
Orlando blinked and asked tentatively, "My Lord, you mean … the whole Alfalfa City?"
"Yes." The Earl Of Avon nodded and then strolled into the depths of the garden. Orlando hurriedly followed.
"I've circled around Alfalfa City a few times and found that many places are already in ruins. The residents here are also destitute and dejected. Moreover, there are cases of swindling, murder, and robbery everywhere. This makes my heart ache!
Although this city does not belong to the Eastern Region, but after all, there are a large number of Eastern Region people living here. I hope that they can live a decent life, and I also hope that this city will no longer be a rotten sore on this land. "
The Earl Of Avon said it so clearly that Orlando certainly understood. But what he didn't understand was why the Eastern Region suddenly wanted to regulate Alfalfa City.
Even if there were many people from the Eastern Region living here, Alfalfa City was still the territory of the half-elf kingdom.
Unless …
Orlando's heart quivered, and he immediately reacted. Could it be that the Eastern Region already had the confidence to occupy Alfalfa City?
He knew that Count Angele was trying to get Marquis Vincent back, but he was not Count Angele's henchman, so he did not know the details of the plan.
However, there was no time for Orlando to think about it. He hurriedly said respectfully, "Count, please rest assured that I will gather the leaders of the Brotherhood as soon as possible and come up with a governing plan for your review. Under your guidance, we will do our best to revitalize this city!"
The Earl Of Avon nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, indicating that Orlando could leave.
Orlando understood, so he bowed and left.
The Earl Of Avon stood alone in front of an osmanthus tree, smelling the strong fragrance of the flowers. Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him again.
When he turned around, he saw Viscounts Fiin walking over in a hurry.
The Earl Of Avon raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Why are you back so soon?"
Viscounts Fiin said with a solemn face, "Count, something has happened in the Western Region. The Orcs are likely to invade!"
The Earl Of Avon was obviously shocked by the news. He was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Where did you get the news?"
"Prince Harrison said it himself, and he also hopes that we can solve the dispute with the Northern Frontier as soon as possible and unite against the outside world."
The Earl Of Avon thought for a moment and asked again, "What is Colin Angelo's attitude on your trip to Silvermoon City this time?"
"When I first arrived, it was just in time for the Hunting Festival Tournament. I followed your arrangements and sent Knight Omar to cause trouble, but the Northern Frontier actually pushed out Ensfar Lute …"
"The former Duke Of Lute of the Half-Elven Kingdom?"
"Yes. He actually didn't die, and he's still working for Colin Angelo. Therefore, I couldn't use this matter to test whether Colin dared to fall out with the Eastern Region.
However, at the banquet after the festival, I took the initiative to discuss the conditions of redemption with Colin. The other party obviously avoided the topic, and the intention of evading and delaying was obvious. "
The Earl Of Avon nodded and said, "It should be. Colin is feeling guilty now."
"Then the threat of the Orcs this time shouldn't be a conspiracy of the Northern Frontier, right?"
"It shouldn't be." The Earl Of Avon shook his head. "This kind of lie is too easy to expose. However, I will also send a letter to my mother to verify it, just in case.
In addition, I just received news this morning that the Golden Lion Legion of the Northern Frontier suddenly stopped advancing at the border of the Half-Elven Kingdom. I was wondering what the hell they were doing, but now it seems that they must have received news from the Western Region. "
Viscounts Fiin was a little doubtful. "We haven't reached a redemption agreement with Silvermoon City yet. How would the Golden Lion Legion dare to stop advancing?"
"It should be Marquis García's order."
"Marquis García?"
"Yes." The Earl Of Avon said confidently. "If you carefully understand Marquis García's past, you will understand that he is a staunch 'externalist' who opposes all forms of human civil war.
It is precisely because of this that the relationship between the two brothers was tense when the previous Duke Of St. Hilde was alive. Marquis García vigorously developed the cavalry and constantly intensified the conflict with the trolls. He also forcibly consumed the power of the Northern Frontier in the north to prevent the Duke Of St. Hilde from having the idea of moving east.
Therefore, when the threat of the Orcs appeared this time, Marquis García would definitely stop Colin Angelo from mobilizing the Golden Lion Legion to move east at the first opportunity. He might even ask him to immediately lead the Blood Cavalry back to the Northern Frontier. "
Viscounts Fiin's face lit up and he smiled. "In that case, the matter of the Orcs is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"
"That's right!" Earl Of Avon also became excited and hurriedly asked, "Have you reached an agreement with Colin Angelo after that?"
"Not yet. Colin Angelo opened his mouth wide and added three more heavy warships on the basis of our bottom line! Do you think he is still trying to delay? "
"Agree to him!" Earl Of Avon ordered without hesitation. "No matter what he is thinking, we can't miss this opportunity."
Viscounts Fiin hesitated and said, "Then the Duke of Saint Prospero …"
"I will talk to my father. You will rush back to Silvermoon City immediately and represent the House of Saint Prospero to sign a redemption agreement with Colin Angelo.
Be fast!
We must hurry and completely eliminate the threat of Colin Angelo before Emperor Reinhardt issues the war order! "
"Yes, Earl!"
