“For the Alliance Army to swiftly possess cutting-edge combat power, the strong ones within the ranks have recently been searching more frequently for advancement opportunities. Our exploration teams have found some Seventh Rank materials in the relics. Oh, the most important reason is because of Mr. Aragon you introduced us to. This connection with the Rebel Dragon Army allowed us to trade for a lot of ancient Demon Beast bloodline materials and valuable promotion experiences…”

“You know, even though the East Wilderness is weak, it has been stuck at the Seventh Rank bottleneck for three thousand years. There are quite a few old-timers in the Alliance Army who are also stuck at Sixth Tier. After getting the materials, we all tried to advance and eventually a few of us did succeed… General Logan is one of them.”

“Conveniently, the material had a high compatibility with him, ‘Ancestral Blood of Wind Demon,’ which enabled General Logan to successfully fuse with the Seventh Rank Profession Card ‘Wind Demon Swordsman’…”

“…”

Catherine Carter detailed the recent situation of the Alliance Army.

Leonard Churchill listened without surprise.

Comprehending ‘Divine Power’ to advance is difficult, but if one uses the method of modifying bloodlines to gain the genetic chains of different species to stabilize Demonic Power, this method has become very mature in the Southern Continent.

Hearing this, he knew what Catherine wanted to say and laughed, “So, the surge in strength gave some people ideas?”

“Yeah.”

Catherine’s tone also held a hint of helplessness as she shrugged and continued, “Initially, this was good news for our Alliance Army, as having high-end combat power is especially important in wars. However, most of the upper echelons in the Alliance Army are nobles from the Federation, and some thoughts are hard to change overnight.”

With that, a sharp glint briefly passed through the eyes of the young helmswoman of the Lionheart Family.

These were words she, as a commanding officer, would never say to an outsider, but she could share her heart with Leonard, an old friend.

Catherine continued, “Originally, when our Lionheart Family migrated to the Old Continent, some powers actually came by coercion. Without the Lionheart Family, they couldn’t stand their ground in the East Wilderness. Among them were a few families from my mother’s side: the Rosin Family, the Bebo Family, the Morten Family… General Logan represents the Morten Family.”

“…”

Leonard recalled the powers represented by these family names.

Previously in the Upper Class Society of the Federation, families intermarried in a complex web of alliances; if one were to be particular about it, nearly all could be considered some distant relatives.

The Lionheart Family, once the “Federation’s First Warlord,” was essentially a binding together of various interest groups.

Catherine went on to say, “When the Alliance Army first arrived, the living environment was harsh. With our Lionheart Family taking the brunt, those people dared not say anything and were happy to see us taking the greatest risks. But later, as we started gaining achievements in exploring the relics and discovered countless precious resources, like this Machinery War Fort…”

As she spoke, her fine brows raised, and she continued, “Then later, thanks to you, we made contact with the Rebel Dragon Army, which allowed us to quickly reach the Super-grade Card Master Domain. And now… currently, the focus in the Southern Continent is in the East Wilderness. King Orlan is busy developing the Silver Moon Church, and our situation in the Alliance Army is still quite good. Before we’ve enjoyed these good days for long, some people already have their own ideas.”

Leonard laughed, “So, General Logan wants to arrange a marriage?”

The Lionheart Family has numerous masters and strong foundations, key to leading the Alliance Army decisively.

Fighting isn’t an option, so naturally, they’d think of the tried and true method of seeking power within the Noble Class through marriage.

“Yeah.”

Catherine wasn’t surprised he could guess.

Their gazes met, her crystal eyes seemingly talking, with a teasing smile in the corners.

Before Leonard could say anything, she added, “General Logan’s nephew, Major General Mick, is talented with a Fifth Tier. Technically, that guy is also a distant cousin of mine. Previously, the clan elders mentioned it several times, even my mother tried to persuade me to consider it…”

Leonard’s expression remained unchanged.

The conversation was serious, but Catherine’s tone was light.

Leonard could see she had a plan in mind.

Even if he hadn’t come, she would have solved it on her own.

Catherine said, “But you know, if I were willing to be a bargaining chip in a marriage, I would definitely not be sitting in this position. I don’t believe the future of the Allied Forces is stabilized by marriage. Plus, if this precedent is set, it would give others a negative example for the future. However, I am the commander of the Alliance Army, and there are things I can’t do that would harm unity. So, this matter has always been shelved. This time General Logan’s coming, it’s very likely for this matter. After all, he’s an elder, and it would be difficult for me if he spoke personally…”

She leaned forward slightly, smiling at Leonard beside her.

The room was silent, and the atmosphere was subtly charged.

Catherine looked into Leonard’s face for a moment, unable to discern any thoughts, then added, “Of course, the most important thing is, I don’t want a marriage.”

Leonard gazed at the pretty face so close, barely half a meter away, and teased, “So, I have to attend this banquet, don’t I?”

They were close enough to clearly see what ideas were flashing in each other’s eyes.

Catherine’s eyes lifted slightly, revealing a rare provocative and haughty look as she spoke with feigned toughness, “Of course. You are my best friend. You have to help me with this.”

Saying so, she blinked, her eyes full of teasing but also a sincere admiration, and chuckled, “As long as you show up, what ‘genius’ doesn’t pale in comparison to you… No one will bring up the marriage topic then.”
