Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 907: A Wise Man

Let's talk about it in detail.

With Edward's determination, he was shocked to hear that the situation in the Federation of Earth had changed drastically. Knowing all of this, he wasn't surprised why Alan was in such a hurry to expand. Indeed, if he wanted to protect the clan. Not to mention controlling the empire, at the very least, Ellen had to sit in the position of Grand Duke to cover for his family. This was a path that could never be taken, but it had to be taken.

According to what Alan had said, Edward did not think that there would be a complete conflict between the Federation and the nobles in the near future, but he had already prepared himself for it.

After pondering for a moment, he drew two circles on the map of the south side of the study. One was the Iron Spear Ridge, and the other was Earl Rackett's mountain city. Ellen walked to the side and looked at the map. "You mean to sweep away these two forces before leaving?"

"How greedy are you?" Edward shook his head and said, "Alternative cleaning is fine, if you can eat the iron spear Hoey, known as the number one person in the South." The Grand Duke might not be able to do so, but the empire definitely had to let someone advance to Marquis. Furthermore, they had to advance beyond their rank, but that would not be too flaunting. Therefore, my suggestion is that we might as well knock on this mountain city. There was no need to eat Mountain City, kill Rackett, nurture one of his successors, and secretly support his competitors. "As long as we get on track, we won't even have to take care of Mountain City. It'll take at least three to five years."

"Rackett's Mountain City is the most threatening of the knights near our territory. Once he goes, you can rest assured to go to the Imperial Capital."

Alan looked at him and laughed.

Edward frowned and said, "You want to take me with you?"

"What, you don't want to?"

"Yes, but who are you going to throw this back to?" Edward muttered to himself, "Jodak still has a way of running Dawn Fort, but he's too small. The dragon has a lot of guts, but he's willing to stand in front of the curtain. Apart from them, I've taken time to nurture a few professionals, but it's not time to take action yet. Taking me out of the capital will naturally help you take some of the pressure off, but this territory …"

Alan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll talk to the dragon. He'll take the job."

"Of course it would be good if Long Ken stood up. I've been observing him carefully these past few days. This person is dull and coquettish, but he is definitely an internal talent. But how can you guarantee that he will agree?"

'"He doesn't want to study the phenomena of the Celestials, so I'll just let him know a little. Adding on the two chariot assembly lines, I think he wants to drive the dragon away, but he won't leave. As for loyalty, since he knows the secrets of the Celestials, do you think he'll be as stupid as the empire exposing us?"

Edward nodded cheerfully, "That's enough. Since you have your own opinion, I don't mind seeing the scenery of the imperial capital." If you want to go to the imperial capital, then you have to come into contact with Ryan. He had frequent dealings with Roger, and the forces behind him were not simple. These days, he had business dealings with Roger and secretly observed our development. Of course, what he saw was something I voluntarily let him see. As for the things that he couldn't let him know, he had no way of knowing. "

"This person has hinted through Roger more than once that he wants to work more closely with you."

Alan nodded and said, "I know. I already knew him at Ou Ban's banquet. Then arrange a time for me to meet him."

"When do you plan to meet?"

"Let's first sweep away the hidden danger of Mountain City."

Edward smiled and said, "That's good. That gives us a bit more negotiating power."

Alan put his arm around his shoulder and said, "It's good to talk to smart people. It saves a lot of saliva without any nonsense."

Edward swatted Allen's hand away like a fly and said quietly, "I'll arrange for Rhine, but there are a few things I need to tell you."

Alan understood and looked away from the map of the Southern Territory. "What happened in the past six months?" He asked.

"It's a long story. There are only a few things you need to know." Edward smiled maliciously. "The first thing is about His Highness."

"Which prince?"

"Princess Lily, it seems like you've really put her behind you."

Alan hit himself on the head and said, "I really forgot. Why, she's already here."

"I came. Seeing that you weren't here, I almost lifted the mansion of the City Lord of the Bauhinia Flower Territory. I was just being rude and tricky, so I convinced her that you had something delaying your return, not intentionally reneging on your promise. For this reason, shouldn't you give me some benefits?"

Ellen nodded. "What do you want as a reward?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll let you know when I've thought about it." Edward smiled and said, "Counting the time, Her Highness the Princess is almost there. No matter what, you must have seen her go further north. Otherwise, our Mr. Long may not be able to resist the pressure of that Her Highness' fist."

"What's the exact date?"

"At the latest, before Miss Jorah's wedding, he will definitely arrive."

"Then I understand. What about the second one?"

"The second and third can actually be considered one thing." Edward's smile subsided and his expression became serious. "Remember the Carlo you killed?"

"The son of the Bloody Earl?" "Oh," said Alan, "he came looking for me?"

"The Count himself has never seen it. After all, there is still an iron spear Hoey between Tiger Shark Harbor and us. Do you think Old Hoey would let this shark come if Eric flaunted the market? So it's just a small fish and shrimp. It's not worth talking about. But there's no denying that Eric already knows that Carlo died with us. I believe he will make his move soon." Edward smiled, "Of course, I also took this opportunity to deliberately let those little shrimps bring back some information. I don't expect it to be of much use, but I think it might be possible to mislead our Earl."

"It's a pity that Tiger Shark Harbor is too far away from us. Otherwise, if I kill Eric first, you wouldn't have to spend too much energy on such a person." Ellen said, taking it for granted. Seeing Edward's disbelief, Ellen shrugged and said, "I'm not bragging. In fact, I don't really care about Earl Eric's strength at the moment." Unless he kept his hand, but thinking about it, it shouldn't be possible. "With the Bloody Earl's personality, if he had the strength to challenge the Marquis, he would probably not be staying in a small Tiger Shark Harbor."

Edward sighed, "It's only now that I believe you have the strength to challenge Hoey. You're so lucky to be stepping on dog shit."

"Cut the crap. Apart from Eric, who else has an idea for us?"

Edward smiled but did not answer.

Ellen narrowed his eyes and suddenly said, "Could it be the one from the Ten Saints, Sword Lord Mason?"

Without Edward's answer, Alan knew that he had guessed correctly. Unfortunately, this answer made him unhappy at all.
