Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 931: Worst Case Scenario

Unicorn Castle.

When Ante returned to the castle in the carriage, the butler and captain, Baron, and the guards and servants of the castle were waiting for him at the gate. The housekeeper and Barron heaved a sigh of relief when they saw Uncle walk out of the carriage unharmed. Looking at the relieved expressions on their faces, Ante shook his head, but his heart was slightly warm.

He had lost his father. Fortunately, he was accompanied by these loyal people.

Everyone greeted.

Ante didn't take the car and directly walked into the castle. Pass the arch, pass the square, and walk up the stone steps. He suddenly stopped and turned around to look in the direction of Dawn Castle. The setting sun in the sky was infinitely good.

Then he turned around and entered the castle.

On the corridor leading to the study, Baron and the butler were the only ones accompanying him. The butler couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, did that lord make things difficult for you along the way?"

Ante shook his head. "No problem, it's just a lot of pranks. But now that I think about it, there's something behind every word and deed of that person."

"Deep meaning?" The butler and Baron exchanged glances.

"No, it's not what you think. Why, Lord Alan should be doing it out of goodwill. Anyway, I've gained a lot from this trip back and forth to Mountain City."

Baron muttered, "Is that Lord trying to reconcile with you?"

"Not at all. He never said that. And I know he won't take it to heart, even if I'm still hostile to him." Ante stopped and said, "When we left Mountain City, one of the fellows who had benefited from his kindness stabbed him in the face. He didn't kill that fellow either. He just broke one of his arms as a lesson. Because that person didn't even have the qualifications to be killed by him. He told me about the ants, so I thought, in his heart. Whether it's that white-eyed wolf or me, both of them have similar status. "

"We are all indispensable ants in his world. The only difference is that my ant is bigger."

Ont walked into the study.

The butler sighed, "Young Master has indeed matured quite a bit this time."

Baron nodded.

The two of them followed behind Ante. The butler asked softly, "Young Master, where are we going from now on?"

"Don't worry about anything. Just manage your territory properly." Ante sat down, his childish face becoming more serious than usual. "With our current strength, even if we really have some thoughts, it would be in vain. That lord asked me to accompany him this time, not only to increase my knowledge, but also to see the difference between us. So I am very clear about what I should do next."

Hearing this, the butler heaved a sigh of relief. Although Ante had said before that he no longer wanted revenge, the butler knew that this young master's knot was hard to solve. I went to Mountain City with that lord this time. Although it didn't seem like I had completely given up on my father's enmity, I was able to completely suppress this thought. For Ante, revenge was probably the most important thing. But for the people of the territory, eating and dressing well was the most important thing.

War?

It was a game for the Lords, winning the territory expansion and increasing their financial resources. Losing the land cession compensation, at most, life is not as luxurious as before. However, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. To the Lords, it would only hurt their muscles and bones, and they would not die. Unless he wanted to beat the other party to death from the start, it was hard to say. But no matter what, the war was a disaster for the citizens.

Whether he was the victor or the loser.

It was good for him to lead the master to victory, but he could still recover after a few days of tightening his belt. If they were to be defeated, their citizens would only be suppressed even more miserably by taxes.

The Unicorn Legion had already suffered a major defeat. Not to mention Daniel's death, the Unicorn Legion had been reduced by more than half. The most elite cavalry regiment was no longer organized, and the current army could only barely maintain order in the territory. If Ante wanted to start the war recklessly, he would have to recruit troops and gather food. The war had not yet begun, and it was already a great calamity for the citizens.

Now that Ante had put down this thought, even if it was only temporary, it could still be considered a breathing space for this territory. Thinking of this, the butler thanked the lord from the bottom of his heart for taking Ont out.

In Dawn Castle's City Lord's Mansion, Alan met Edward. When he entered, he was talking to the eastern man named Long, and the two of them were pointing at a map of the southern region. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ellen looked back and shrugged, "Or should I come back later?"

Edward looked at the dragon and smiled, "The viscount likes to make fun of us."

The dragon's face was expressionless, and Mu Nadi said "hmm", "I'll take my leave first."

After the dragon left, Edward said, "I probably told him about your upcoming trip to the north, so that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the sudden taking over of this huge possession. By the way, I told him about some of the arrangements in the South. According to my previous arrangements and the dragon's own experience, it wouldn't be difficult for me to manage this territory for you."

"What other plans do you have in the South?" Alan asked in surprise.

"Not much, one is to do business with Iron Spear Ridge, since the maintenance of friendship between the two territories. The other was directed at the Bloody Earl and even the Sword Lord. In the past six months, I have gradually thrown out a net. It's naturally impossible to capture the entire Southern Region, but with the support of the Iron Spear Ridge, we and the Iron Spear Leader will be able to establish a complete intelligence network between the Ark Harbor and the Unicorn Leader's territories. In this net, I am confident that not a single mosquito will slip past. "

Alan nodded and said, "I guess the power of the Church is indispensable in this net, right?"

"Churches everywhere will be the best supporting nodes." Edward admitted generously, "I've drawn up a list of people for you going north." Among them is Father Miro. As for Vera, I intend to let her stay. After all, our church's center of gravity is still in the South, so we need Vera to take care of it. Moreover, this time, Father Miro was more suitable for missionary work. Besides, we can't play all our cards north. Incidentally, the Iron Spear Ridge will be an important part of this intelligence network. The key lies in Hoey's opinion of you. So when you escort Miss Jorah to the other side's ridge, it's best if you don't fight. "

"It makes me sound like I like to provoke trouble." Alan rolled his eyes.

"This is just in case." '"Oh," Edward said. "Tomorrow, you pack up. You have to go to Hungry Wolf Colony. Incidentally, because Glory Light Academy is built on that territory, we discussed with our little lord. Hungry Wolf Ridge has been officially renamed Radiance Ridge. It will be good for us to recruit students in the future, so that they won't be unwilling to come when they hear about Hungry Wolf Ridge."

"The academy has been completed?"

'"It can't be said to be completed, but you've completed one-third of the architectural layout of the plan. As for whether you want to expand in the future, it depends on the development of the academy. There's another important reason for you to visit the Light Territory, apart from your appearance as Lord Lord." Edward said with a faint smile, "The hall is coming down."

"Lily?"

"Yes, our Highness Lily also said that she wants to open an additional naval combat class in the academy. She is very interested in this."

Alan shook his head and laughed, "The Naga naval battles are definitely formidable, but their tactics can't be applied to humans."

"It doesn't matter. A naval combat squad can exchange for His Highness' kindness. This deal is worth it. Anyway, it's not a loss." Edward narrowed his eyes and said, "I also heard that you took Sir Ont with you on this trip to Mountain City? What, are you trying to reconcile?"

"Not really. I just hope that he can see things clearly and not make decisions that he will regret in the future." Allen paused for a moment and said seriously, "But I was shocked by the number of outsiders Rackett harbored on this trip to Mountain City. And guess what else I saw, Blade Demon! And the Catus' barbarian warriors! There's actually outsiders living in the Yordon Domain in the Shadow Principality. What a hell of a planet!"

"After seeing the Naga Clan, I was mentally prepared." Edward said in a deep voice, "This planet is filled with fog, just as we had imagined." It was simply like a universe-class ark, encompassing a variety of star realm lifeforms. We are only in a human empire called Bailegan, and we only know that the Shadow Duchy is eyeing us to the north of this empire. Apart from that, the other was Saint Alfred, the elven kingdom mentioned by the dragon. However, these three kingdoms were only on one continent, and the size of the Heavenly Star was not limited to one continent. The dragon is a living proof that he comes from another continent, and that continent has a super kingdom that is not inferior to Bailegan, and even stronger. "

"Not to mention a family-style hunting group like us, if we want to invade a superplanet like this violently, I'm afraid it will take several years of war to reach the full strength of the Federation." Edward shook his head and said, "So go north this time. You have to make the worst of it. The north of the empire is different from the south. Besides, we have to enter the political core of the empire. I'm worried that those hard-earned identities will be destroyed in a single stab. Never, never underestimate the power of the planet's natives."

"I know." Alan nodded and muttered, "But now, I have something else to decide."

Edward smiled and asked, "Outsiders from Mountain City?"

"You must be a bug in my stomach. Otherwise, how would you know before I told you?"

"What's so hard to guess? You're just wondering if you should report the outsider activities in Mountain City to the Overwatch Council. If you report it, I'm afraid that the Overwatch Council will follow the vines and find traces of your activities in Mountain City. If you don't report it, and if the outsider invades Mountain City again, it's equivalent to a fire in our backyard." Edward smiled and said, "Let me tell you. I will prepare a report for you. After you sign it, I will be responsible for sending it to the Ark Harbor Supervisory Council. It's better for the empire to worry about the outsiders. And even if you don't report it, do you think the empire won't know about it?"

"Believe me, the Bailey Gon Empire is able to take down such a territory in the hands of the outsiders of the Shadow Principality. Moreover, it has only expanded for hundreds of years. This empire is definitely not simple. Maybe your activities in Mountain City have already fallen into the eyes of the spies of the Empire. If you don't report it, you might even come back to settle things with you."
