Catherine Carter pondered Leonard Churchill’s recent words; the “ritual” had broadened her horizons.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “Oh, and there’s one more thing! I’ve heard there’s been some abnormalities in the East Wilderness recently. Ever since the New King of Orlan ascended to the throne, he’s been relentlessly promoting the war situation, capturing able-bodied men and slaves. The whole country is shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere, filled with complaints…”

As they exchanged glances, the two understood each other tacitly.

Normally, the first order of business in war would be to calm the public’s heart, avoiding chaos at all costs.

Only by presenting a united front can one possibly concentrate forces to defeat the enemy.

Even those in power often conceal the unfavorable outcomes of the war to prevent public unrest.

More so for a new king taking the throne, unsettling the public’s heart is bound to cause problems sooner or later.

However, the Orlan Royal Court was doing the exact opposite.

To outsiders, this abnormal behavior might be incomprehensible, possibly attributing it to the new king Arthur’s incompetence.

But Leonard Churchill, who knew the man better, thought of another possibility and interjected, “Tsk tsk, that New King of Orlan, he must also be using the war to fuel some kind of huge ritual…”

Both had witnessed before how Arthur wasn’t averse to leveraging widespread fear to boost his own power.

It was the same situation now.

Except, previously it was just one city.

Now, it’s the whole East Wilderness.

The man was playing a big game indeed.

…

Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter both possessed exceptionally keen strategic vision.

With occasional comments here and there, they quickly analyzed the topic thoroughly.

As they talked, the worries that had accumulated in Catherine’s heart for many days also vanished like smoke.

Before they knew it, they had drunk four or five bottles of wine.

At this moment, clinking their glasses together, Catherine looked at Leonard Churchill and said with emotion, “Ah… I find that every time you come, you help me solve so many problems.”

And it wasn’t just this time.

Last time he brought Alice, which brought the powerful Rebel Dragon Army as an ally to the Allied Forces;

The time before that, he connected her with Barre Shepherd and a group of experts, who then slew the Seventh Grade Legion Commander from the Southern Continent, greatly boosting morale.

Catherine was already familiar with the Law of Destiny to some extent.

After a few encounters, she increasingly felt that her destiny was significantly intertwined with his.

And then there were his friends.

At that thought, Catherine recalled something else and said, “Oh, and there’s another important piece of news! Your friend from the Song Family, Mr. Lew Williams, has also run into some big trouble recently.”

Leonard Churchill: “Lew Williams?”

Catherine said, “Mr. Lew Williams is very visionary; he had previously moved a portion of his advanced military-industrial enterprises to the Old Continent to support us, the Allied Forces, and now he’s one of our largest business partners. But he stayed in the East Wilderness. When the Federal Parliament was in charge, our Lionheart Family still had some influence, enough to keep the Song Family safe. But now that Orlan has been restored, everything is different…”

The assets of the Song Family were almost all on the East Continent, and being a timid man, it made sense that he wouldn’t come to the Old Continent.

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill actually saw the whole situation clearly.

With over seventy percent of the East Wilderness’ military-industrial industries in the hands of the Song Family, the Orlan Royal Family would definitely make a move on the Song Family if they wanted to manufacture Mechanical Battle Armor.

Catherine continued, “A few days ago, he asked me for help, saying the Orlan Royal Family was going to forcibly seize the Song Family’s assets, and even his life was under threat. I’ve already sent people from the East Wilderness to help, but I doubt they could stand against the Orlan Royal Court. The most pressing issue is, now that the pathway through the Abyssal Rift is severed, my people can’t take Mr. Song out of the East Wilderness.”

The Orlan Royal Family would definitely not allow anyone else to use Void Iron Chains to cross the rift.

So currently, the only way in and out of the East Wilderness is through the Void Battleships of the Southern Continent.

As she said this, she gave Leonard Churchill a look.
