If Connor remembered correctly, in the year when the original owner of this body, Connor Ferguson, came to Loen to study, the Kingdom of Hoffenheim, which was supported by the East Hoy Company, had gathered five hundred thousand soldiers in an attempt to conquer the Lance Tribe. That war lasted for half a year. Although the Lance Tribe had the support of the various major countries on the Byzantine Continent, they were suppressed by the East Hoy Company which had an obvious advantage in terms of strength. In order to not be conquered, all the males in the tribe who were above twelve and below seventy went to the battlefield.
In the end, although the Lance Tribe only paid a compensation of ten thousand pounds under the mediation of the Faust Empire and the Posis Kingdom to prevent their tribe from becoming a vassal of the East Hoy Company, they also paid a painful price. Not only did the entire tribe completely open their market to the goods of the Faust Empire and the Posis Kingdom, but the tribe, which originally had more than a million young men, only had more than a million men after the war ended, from ninety-year-old bedridden old men to newborn babies!
How many years had it been since the end of the last war? It had only been three years. In such a short period of time, the Lance Tribe had yet to fully recover from the losses of the last war, let alone recover from the huge losses caused by the war! How many times did Connor think that the upper echelons of the Lance Tribe had their heads clamped by a door before they dared to initiate a war?
Based on this logic, Connor didn't believe that the Loen Merchant in his hands reported that the North Lecce State, which was under the jurisdiction of the East Hoy Company, had been destroyed by the Lance Tribe!
If the North Lecce State had really been attacked, there were only two possibilities. The first was that the war maniacs of the East Hoy Company were playing a self-directed and self-directed trick to make the anti-war people in the Empire shut up so that they could seek the full support of the Empire to completely get rid of the thorn in their side and the door to conquering the Central Hoy Continent — the Lance Tribe!
Since the East Hoy Company had been conquering the Central Hoy Continent for so many years, their plan was no longer a secret. Everyone in the Kaman Empire knew about it. Their plan was to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys. They wanted to show off their power by exterminating the Lance tribe so as to deter the hesitant Hoy tribes in the Central Hoy Continent. They wanted to make them obediently follow the will of the East Hoy Company and become a part of the puppet regime of the Kingdom of Hoffenheim supported by the East Hoy Company.
It was precisely because the East Hoy Company's plan was so well known that the Lance Tribe was able to gain the support of so many countries and forces who wanted to stop the East Hoy Company. Otherwise, who would spend millions of gold pounds on a stupid, greedy, and mercenary Hoy tribe like the Lance Tribe?
In the beginning, the East Hoy Company only wanted to appease and bribe the Lance Tribe, which was the gateway to the Central Hoy Continent. The chief of the Lance Tribe had brazenly killed the emissary sent by the East Hoy Company in order to get the one million silver dollars promised by the Poseidon Kingdom. This completely infuriated the East Hoy Company, so the Lance Tribe became the pitiful chicken that the East Hoy Company wanted to kill to warn the monkeys!
Now that he thought about the timing of Desilio's return to the mainland of the Empire, although it seemed to be a ruse, Connor was a bit hesitant about such a conjecture. After all, the incident in Northern Lecce Province and Desilio's arrival were linked together. The ruse of self-injury was too obvious. Although East Hoy Company was domineering in the past, they had never treated everyone as fools to be fooled by them like this!
However, if it wasn't a ruse, then the incident in Northern Lecce State was very interesting. The Lance Tribe would never take the initiative to attack the East Hoy Company. If Northern Lecce State was really attacked as reported by the Loen Merchant, it was very likely that it was done by other Hoy tribes in the Central Hoy Continent, or the mercenaries hired by the Lance Tribe as mercenaries of the Poseidon Kingdom and the Faust Empire. Or maybe both of them joined forces to do it in the name of the Lance Tribe!
Looking at the words' Loen Merchant 'on the newspaper in his hand, Connor couldn't help but ponder. Connor never thought of himself as the smartest person. He was the only one who could think of so many things. Although there were many rich heirs in the Kaman Empire's ruling class, there was no lack of insightful and far-sighted elites. If Connor could think of something, those elites would definitely be able to think of it too!
The reason why the Loen Merchant was able to become the authoritative media in the Loen region and had a great influence in Loen and even the Empire's West Coast with Loen as the center had a lot to do with the power it represented. The Loen Merchant was jointly controlled by many large chambers of commerce in Loen. It represented the merchants of the Empire's West Coast. It could be said that every article published by the Loen Merchant was conveying the voice of the merchants of the Empire's West Coast.
Although Connor didn't read the reports of the Loen Evening News that represented the ordinary citizens, or the Empire's Daily News that represented the Empire's government, he knew very well that these authoritative media would definitely have a behind-the-scenes negotiation in the face of such important news. Now that the Loen Merchant had reported it, it meant that these powers had reached a consensus on their viewpoints!
And from the analysis of the dozen or so reports in the Loen Merchant newspaper, they only mentioned the Lance tribe. There was no mention of the Faust Empire and the Bossi Kingdom's foreign legion, as well as the other Khoi tribes in the Central Khoi Continent. What did this mean? Was it something that Connor could think of that the elites of the authoritative media didn't?
Not at all! The media's words proved that the various powers in the Empire had reached a consensus. The conflict in the Hoy Continent's North Lecce state was limited to the conflict between the East Hoy Company and the Lance Tribe! And to deal with a mere Lance Tribe, the East Hoy Company alone was enough. They didn't need the Empire's help!
Although he was certain of this, to be safe, Connor still walked out of the apartment. Under the paperboy's endless gratitude, he bought all the newspapers for the day. As expected, not only were the authoritative media like the Empire's Daily News, the Loen Merchant, and the Loen Evening News reporting, even the other newspapers were like the Loen Merchant. They only mentioned the Lance Tribe and didn't mention anything else!
