The rebuilding of the Knights of Carself caused a strong shock in Vermont City and throughout the Carsif area. The knights, who had been displaced after the defeat of the Knight of Cassef, seemed to have found their home again, and in almost the shortest possible time, a group of knights gathered at Wolt. Under the banner of Steve Jobs.

The Knights of Casev suffered two heavy losses, and the elite was almost completely lost. But I have to admit that the old aristocrats do have more background than the new nobles like Hathaway in terms of cultivating talents.

The knights quickly gathered together and made Walter. Jobs was also surprised, he did not expect that the knights would be so eager to prove themselves that he would be so welcome after showing them the responsibilities and goals of the Knights of Cassef.

Some people may laugh at this kind of chivalry, they defend the rules of chivalry in their own way, but they also want to protect their ideas in the way they think is right. It is conceivable that when the Knights of Cassef announced their disbandment, defeat and death did not defeat them, and the loss of the purpose and name of protection was the fundamental reason why these knights were lost.

Although the security situation in Vermont quickly improved, Hathaway did not choose this time to return to Mandi Gaza. As Willy suggests, now is not the best time to return to Mandi Gaza. As the Knights took action, the residents of Vermont City began to call for Hathaway to make Vermont their permanent capital, as Hathaway was also a Vermonter.

However, Hathaway did not respond to these calls, on the one hand, she did not feel a sense of belonging to Vermont City. On the other hand, Hathaway still has a lot of troubles to solve, such as the pressure from Maple Dew.

Maple Dew City.

Dietrich stood in front of him, the view from the window was pleasant, the fragrance of the garden filled the air, the lavender swayed in the breeze, and the drunken purple made people feel undistracted, but it did not help to calm the anxiety in his heart.

Autumn is harvest season, but for Dietrich, it is full of restlessness and restlessness. And it all started with the guy who got mixed up in the Kasef area.

A soft conversation rang out outside the door. Then the door creaked open...... There was no one else who could enter directly without being informed by the servants, except for the Marquis of Abbe.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?" At all times, Abbe has a humble look, and his body is a little fat. It was a little hard for him to walk. But this did not affect his wisdom and judgment in the slightest.

"Hmm. Haven't you heard? The Bell family of the Confederation of Southern Will has sent someone to contact Hathaway. Dietrich's words seemed flat, but Abbe knew that the topic would never be so flat.

If Caesar of Pierceburg had been in contact with Hathaway, Dietrich would never have taken it seriously. Because even if there is contact between the two sides, it is also a false and wrongful snake, and it will not be sincere cooperation. But the Bell family ...... Different.

"Well, I've heard of it, but I thought it wasn't a big deal, it was just a self-promotion campaign on the part of the Confederate Federation" Abbe was also calm.

"What do you think?" Dietrich asked rhetorically.

"I got the news that they sent Hathaway's sister Froa to the Cordillera. The conditions for the Confederation of Southern Will to contact Hathaway were no more than three. One is to return to the family, which Hathaway has clearly refused when he was in Heidelberg; the second is a marriage, either with the Bell family, or with the children of a family in the Southern Federation; The third is cooperation.

With Hathaway's personality, unless she takes a fancy to the marriage, she will never use herself as a bargaining chip. It's the last one...... If the Bell family sent someone else, maybe there was a possibility. But send Floua over, and the possibility of cooperation is not there. Abbe had a smile on his face.

"Why is that?" Dietrich didn't react for a moment.

"It is said that the Bell family is interested in marrying the Gangze family, and it is that Miss Frua that the Gangze family wants." Abbe said with a smile.

"The Gangze family? The second family of the Southern Will Federation is a good calculation. However, this is also a very normal thing, is there any problem? Dietrich asked.

"The Gangze family's plan is quite good, on the one hand, to form a stronger alliance with the Bell family, and on the other hand, to connect with Hathaway, because although Hathaway has a bad relationship with her family, she loves this sister very much." Abbe explained.

"What's wrong with that?" Dietrich was still puzzled.

"The problem arises, Frua has such an excellent sister, and naturally regards Hathaway as the object of worship, and is extremely resistant to this marriage. If the Bell family keeps leaving Frua in Heidelberg, the little girl will be reluctant to do so, and she will have to obey in the end. But now that she is sent to the Cordillera collar, not only will Hathaway's plan to win over Hathaway fail, but I am afraid that she will also lose a daughter. Abbe gloated.

"That said, I'm still worried that this Hathaway probably won't help me get to the top smoothly." Dietrich still couldn't get out.

"It's inevitable."

Abbey's answer was a little unexpected, Dietrich raised his eyebrows in surprise, and listened to the other party's words, "With the current situation of the Ordga Empire, even if those lords have no intention of rebelling, they will not want the true unification of the empire, and only in this way can it be in the best interests of those lords." ”

"Rebel!" Dietrich's face sank and he slammed his fist on the windowsill.

……

Ginger is old and spicy, and as Marquis Abbe expected, Hathaway at this time has not thought about making Dietrich obedient to the throne.

Up and down for 5,000 years, although the history of the earth is not as long as the Titan world, but there are many examples of dynasties, birds and rabbits, good bows and hidden, and lackeys cooking, like Song Taizu and Tang Taizong are still kind, Ming Taizu is the most inhumane one, no matter how many last resorts, this is the law.

Before Fei Wenlie XVIII died, he was already thinking about taking Hathaway, and secretly stumbled more than once. And now. Whether it was Dietrich or Caesar, it was a last resort to throw an olive branch to Hathaway. Therefore, it is very necessary to keep the two big positions of the Fervesel royal family competing for the same level of confrontation, and at this point, Hathaway maintains a high degree of consistency with several other great lords, otherwise after the defeat and escape of Archduke Casseff, those big lords would not have accepted the reality so quickly.

Of course, this only applies to the current situation. As soon as his forces are directed at the other Great Lords, the situation in the entire Ortiga Empire will be re-unstable, whether it is the province of Bukhalin or the other two Northern Great Lords. They will all react in the shortest possible time. At that time, Dietrich and Caesar were afraid that they would be sought after again all of a sudden, after all, it seemed more convincing to use the appeal of the royal family against their blades...... This is the so-called 'coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes'.

At present, Hathaway has no plans to do that for the time being, and if it is not a last resort, she will not point the sword at Caself. before achieving the next step. She needs to actively accumulate strength. Kasef needs to be thoroughly stabilized. The Knights of Casserf also need a period of training and sharpening.

The important task is the green elves, and after the conquest of Kasef, the Three Days Tribe has explicitly or implicitly proposed to take back the command of their tribe's warriors and mages. This is undoubtedly for Hathaway to cut off her own arm.

From the beginning, Hathaway didn't think about returning this army to the Tribe of Three Days. On the contrary, she also hopes to lay the groundwork for the next step by erecting the image of this army, and the fact that she has firmly controlled this army in her own hands is unshakable.

I don't know if it was because of the formation of the Knights of Kaseff, some of the original nobles and merchants in the Kassef area seemed to smell something and began to call for the formation of the Kasef City Defense.

Are you kidding?

Although the security in the Caseff area has begun to improve, Hathaway believes that she has not yet controlled the overall situation of Caseff, and now that the Kasef City Defense Army is formed, what kind of constraints will be affected...... You know, when they first entered Vermont, those merchants dared to reach out to government affairs, and if they really formed a city defense army of local forces, then they didn't know what would happen.

At present, a Knights of Cadillera with an assault force is sufficient, and the Cordillera City Defense, which consists mainly of barbarian hoplites, green elf archers, half-elf spearmen, and half-orc infantry and human pikemen, constitutes the armed forces of the Cadillera region. Of course, there is another important force that acts as a counterbalance - the Cordillera Mage Order, and this balance is what Hathaway needs at the moment.

In addition, the Abyssal Elves have officially begun to move into the Titan World. Although this force was short-lived during the decisive battle between Hathaway and Casef. But no one knew that Hathaway was an abyssal elf who had mastered a tribe. She moved the old and weak women and children of the Abyss Elf Clan into the place where the barbarians once lived, although it was not rich, but compared to the demon plane, it was no longer the same.

Of course, this is only temporary.

Hathaway also knows that Commer also knows that in order to realize his next grand plan, the power in his hands is far from enough, and it is imperative to expand the armed forces under his subordinates, especially after controlling more and more barbarian forces, if you want to achieve a good balance, you can only find a way for the green elves, half-orcs and humans themselves, for Hathaway, half-orcs and half-elves are very excluded in the Titan world because of their hybrids, and there are not many places like Cordillera where they are treated equally, Hathaway's trust.

Looking at the barbarians who enthusiastically joined the army in front of her, Hathaway couldn't help but sigh, she had to admit that compared to work, these barbarians were indeed suitable for the army, and the courage to ignore life and death, the resoluteness to obey orders, and the loyalty to the faith, made Hathaway unable not to regard this force as his basic strength as the same as the Cordillera mage group...... But in the same way, Hathaway was very worried, once the aura of the oracle on her head faded, would they still be able to be loyal?

Although Barthes. Willie has always advocated that the army is more expensive than expensive, but the expansion of the army seems to be an unavoidable topic for Casif and Cordille, although Farham has always advocated that the necessary number is still the basis.

When Hathaway quietly told Barthes about her goal. After Willie, Barthes. Willy was almost in a petrified state, although he knew that his lord's appetite was not ordinary, but he still didn't expect this lord's appetite to be so big, and the current Kaseff. The Cordillera and the islands overseas, such a large and scattered territory that could keep an energetic lord busy, and in the eyes of this lord, this was just the beginning?

"Uh, my lord, I can't understand your true intentions, you mean you're going to, uh, plan that-"

Barthes. Willie didn't dare to come out with those words that were almost presumptuous, but the other party's intention had clearly expressed this meaning, and there didn't seem to be any problem with his ears, the marquis in front of her was still the unsurprised and even bland look, could it be that she thought it was a game on the map, just scribble it with charcoal and then throw it away?

Barthes. Willie couldn't see a joking look on Hathaway's face, and the other party should know that he wasn't a person who liked to joke, especially on this occasion, Barthe. Willie was a little hard to take.

"That's right, what you want to say is my goal, the Ostega Empire...... The Fivinlie family has completed their historical mission, maybe it would be appropriate for someone else to take on this responsibility at this time, well, maybe there are some surrounding areas, those big lords and the garbage of the Church of Nature, the ones that should disappear should disappear, if they can't clean up themselves, it's also a good choice for me to help them complete it. And the orcs, though I don't dislike them, but the most human of all, I still think it's appropriate for them to stay in the Mogan Wasteland and drink the cool breeze, unless they have something to give me something to be sure of. Of course, if there is a suitable port on the other side of the blue sea, I will not ignore it, how about it, Barthes. Willie, you don't think I'm dreaming? ”

Hathaway laughed softly, this was the first time he had revealed his true thoughts to outsiders, even in front of Ilona and the others, she did not fully reveal the plan in her mind, and Barthes. Willie...... Hathaway believed that this man might have all the shortcomings of a knight of his time, but when it came to loyalty and reliability to himself, he could undoubtedly be in the top three. (To be continued......)
