Clover City.
In the garden behind the Holy Light Cathedral, there is a faint aroma of black tea.
Earl Evan took a sip of black tea, and said to Orlando beside him:
"Mr. Orlando, how long have you been in Clover City?"
Orlando, who had just taken over as the president of the Clover Brotherhood, sat beside him respectfully, and immediately replied after hearing the words:
"My lord, I have been in Clover for fifteen years."
"Then where are you from?"
"My hometown is Silvermoon City, Lord Earl."
"Really? That's a good place, why are you willing to leave a garden city and come to such a damn city as Clover City?"
Orlando said with some embarrassment: "Lord Earl, I was young and ignorant at the time, and I stole something from a big man who shouldn't be stolen, so I couldn't escape to Clover City..."
Earl Evan smiled slightly, put down his teacup, and did not continue to ask, but turned to say:
"Then Mr. Orlando, what do you think is the difference between Clover City and Silvermoon City?"
"The gap..." Orlando was a little speechless, because the two cities are completely incomparable, and the gap is too much.
But in the face of Earl Evan's question, Orlando had to answer, so he had to turn his head quickly, and after thinking hard for a while, he said with a flattering smile:
"My lord, I think the biggest difference between Clover City and Silvermoon City is the lack of a noble master."
Orlando didn't continue to say the following words, but Earl Evan certainly wouldn't understand the other party's flattery. The so-called honorable master was of course the San Pros family.
Earl Evan smiled noncommittally, then got up and strolled into the depths of the garden.
Orlando hurriedly followed.
"I walked around Clover City a few times, and found that many places are dilapidated, the residents here are also poor, and cheating, even murder and robbery can be seen everywhere, which makes me very sad!
Although this city does not belong to the East, after all, there are a large number of people from the East living here. I hope their life can be decent, and I also hope that this city will no longer be a rotten sore on this land. "
When Earl Evan said so, he had actually put himself in the position of the owner of Clover City.
Could it be that Earl Evan took Orlando's flattery just now
You know, Clover City is still the nominal territory of the Half-Elf Kingdom after all.
Orlando's heart was agitated, and he immediately realized—could it be that the East Territory is already sure to occupy Clover City
Of course he knew that the Eastern Territory was discussing with Earl Angelet about redeeming Marquis Vincent recently, but he was not Earl Angelet's confidant after all, and he didn't know the specific progress and plans.
But at this time, Orlando was no longer allowed to think about it, and he quickly said respectfully: "My lord, please rest assured, I will gather the leaders of the brotherhood as soon as possible, and jointly discuss a governance plan for your review. Under your guidance, we will definitely do our best Bring this city back to life!"
Earl Evan nodded in satisfaction, and waved his hand to indicate that Orlando could leave.
Orlando understood, bowed and bowed to leave.
Earl Evan was standing alone in front of an osmanthus tree, smelling the rich fragrance of the flowers, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him again.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Lord Fei Yin walking over in a hurry.
Earl Evan raised his eyebrows, wondering: "Why did you come back so soon?"
Count Feiyin said solemnly: "My lord, something happened in the western region, and the orcs are likely to invade soon!"
Earl Evan was obviously shocked by the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you get the news from?"
"Prince Harrison said it himself, and he also hopes that we will resolve the dispute with the northern border as soon as possible and make a consensus with the outside world."
Earl Evan thought for a while, and then asked, "What's Colin Angelet's attitude when you go to Silvermoon City this time?"
"When I first arrived, it happened to coincide with the Hunting Festival Tournament. I asked Knight Omar to go make trouble according to your arrangement, but Ensfa Rutte was launched in the northern border..."
"The former Duke of Rutte in the Half-Elf Kingdom?"
"Yes. He didn't die, and he was still working for Colin Angelet. Therefore, I failed to test whether Colin would dare to turn against the East through this incident.
However, at the post-holiday reception, I took the initiative to discuss the terms of redemption with Ke Lin, and the other party obviously looked around and talked about him, and the meaning of evasion and delay was obvious. "
Earl Evan nodded and said, "It should be, Colin is guilty now."
"Then the threat of the orcs this time should not be a conspiracy from the North?"
"Probably not." Earl Evan shook his head, "This kind of lie is too easy to expose, but I will also write to my mother to verify it, just in case.
In addition, I just received news this morning that the Golden Lions of the Northern Territory suddenly stopped advancing at the border of the Half-Elf Kingdom. At first, I was still wondering what the hell they were doing, but now it seems that they have received news from the Western Territory. "
Lord Feiyin said with some doubts: "Now that we have not reached a redemption agreement with Silvermoon City, how dare the Golden Lions stop advancing?"
"It should be the order of Marquis Garcia."
"Marquis Garcia?"
"Yes." Earl Evan said confidently, "If you take a closer look at Marquis Garcia's past, you will understand that he is a staunch 'expansionist' and opposes all forms of human civil war.
It is precisely because of this that when the last Duke of St. Hilde was alive, the relationship between the two brothers was tense, and the Marquis of Garcia vigorously developed the cavalry, constantly intensifying the conflict with the trolls, and forcibly consuming all the strength of the northern border in the North, don't let the Duke of St. Hilde have the idea of going east.
Therefore, as soon as the orc threat appeared this time, Marquis Garcia would definitely stop Colin Angelet from mobilizing the Golden Lion Army to move eastward, and maybe even ask him to lead the Blood Cavalry Army back to the north immediately. "
Lord Fei Yin showed joy, and said with a smile: "So, the orc incident is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"
"That's right!" Earl Evan also became excited, and hurriedly asked, "Did you reach an agreement with Colin Angelet afterwards?"
"Not yet. Colin Angelet opened his mouth and added three heavy warships to our bottom line! Do you think he is still trying to delay?"
"Promise him!" Earl Evan ordered without hesitation, "No matter what he thinks, we must not miss this opportunity."
Lord Feiyin hesitated and said, "The Duke of St. Pros..."
"I'll talk to my father. You should hurry back to Silvermoon City now and sign a redemption agreement with Colin Angelet on behalf of the San Pros family.
Be fast!
We must at least completely eliminate the threat of Colin Angelet before Emperor Reinhardt issues a war order! "
"Yes, my lord!"
