On the way back, Baron Betis kept asking himself why the young lord was so resolute and resolute, that there was no room for change, that he was politically naïve and unresponsive, or that he had something to rely on, and that he really thought that as the pioneer knight of the Prince of Wales, the Earl of Galeon would not dare to do anything to him?

The pioneer knight is attached to a wealthy family, which is a major feature of the thousand-year empire, and it is precisely because Betis is in the system that he understands the mystery: the relationship between the pioneer knight and the suzerain is not equal, and the suzerain can refuse the request for assistance from the pioneer knight for no reason, but the pioneer knight must be recruited by the corresponding suzerain.

Therefore, whether the sect master is willing to come forward for you or not also depends on the specific situation.

Count Galeon does not have a high status in the inner circle of the thousand-year-old empire, but the thousand-year-old aristocratic line often leads many melons on a vine, and traced upwards, Galeon's father-in-law is the Archduke of Wellington, and the daughter of the Archduke of Wellington is the favorite concubine of the Crimson Archduke.

Really competitive relationship, the status of the Grand Duke of Wellington may not be as good as the Prince of Wales, but he is by no means afraid of conflict with the Prince, and from another point of view, one side is his son-in-law, and the other side is the pioneering knight of the family.

The more he thought about it, the more Baron Betis felt that he couldn't understand this young man, and after a round of contact, he was driven back by the other party, losing the space for dialogue, and this result would undoubtedly make him lose points in front of Count Galeon, and he was very depressed.

Out of anger, Baron Betis's entourage included the mayor of the town of Makoran, whether the miners wanted to or not, he drove all the townspeople back to the town, leaving less than ten miners from Haines.

As a result, the jade mine came to a standstill.

Martel saw the suddenly empty town, and sighed: "Lord Lord, this is really a disaster! I didn't expect the other party to be so difficult to talk about, and after a few words, they directly quarreled." ”

Charlie smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's me, or maybe it's Betis's personality?"

"No, how could a subordinate think that? I think Betis has a bigger problem! He didn't put himself in the right position!"

Charlie shook his head and said, "No, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, I have been thinking about the other party's attitude, trying to find the deeper reasons, and I really found some clues."

Just now I combed through the aristocratic factions of the thousand-year-old empire, and found that Count Galeon is the son-in-law of the Grand Duke of Wellington, and Peter, the son of the Grand Duke of Wellington, is my enemy.

We had a grudge in the Arcane Ring, he instigated a mage to almost kill me, I made a promise with him to have a duel to the death at the end of the term, and on the day it was due, he broke the contract, so he owed me his life.

From another point of view, the Grand Duke of Wellington faintly supports the Fourth Prince Wei Ning, while I am a friend of the Grand Prince Ryan, and my political positions are naturally opposed.

Now, the Crimson Emperor is seriously injured and unconscious, and it is likely that he will not survive this spring, and a civil war for power is brewing at the top, so the war below has started in advance!"

Charlie is also consciously cultivating middle-level officers, it is very simple to get a subordinate with good combat effectiveness, you only need to pay money, and there are a lot of people who work for you, but there are still very few people who can really empathize with themselves, can have self-judgment, can think independently, take charge of themselves, and are trustworthy.

Martell didn't know that he could let Charlie personally solve his doubts when he said it casually, and he suddenly felt a sense of being valued in his heart, so he said: "Lord Lord, do you mean that war between us and Galeon is inevitable?"

"Yes, some head-on collisions are inevitable, so I'm going to increase my troops in Black Rock Town, and I'll bring in most of the Silver Knights. Charlie glanced at the ten Silver and Stonefield he had brought, and said solemnly: "You are veterans I selected from the Silver Knights, many of them are mid-level non-commissioned officers of the Knights, and they have rich combat experience, and I value you very much.

The Silver Knights will expand, we will gradually move closer to the real army, new equipment will be distributed soon, you have to adapt as soon as possible, not only that, but you will also lead the team to adapt to the new equipment and move closer to the new goal! I have high hopes for you!"

The eleven silver knights had excited looks on their faces, and they all gave a knightly salute to show their attitude.

Charlie continued: "The war in the jade mine is likely to be the first war that the Silver Knights will start with the outside world, I hope you are fully prepared to win this war, and it is best that every knight who participates in the war can come back safely, this is my greatest wish!"

The eleventh knight thumped his chest and said loudly, "Lord Lord, I will do my best!"

Then, Charlie began to arrange other things.

The jade mine brings nearly 10 million gold coins to the family every year, and every day it stops is a day's loss, and a group of miners must be found from Haynes, and this will definitely increase the cost of mining, even if it is to buy the lowest slaves from the oak market, the cost is higher than that of the townspeople who use the town of Makoran, as for how much higher, it still needs to be actually operated to know.

Charlie made some detailed arrangements before he said, "I won't be stationed here, but if there is a large-scale battle, I will fight side by side with you." ”

"Understand, please rest assured, my lord, we will guard this mine for you!"

......

That afternoon, Charlie returned to the city of Haynes.

Soon, Brian released the news through the official media of the City Lord's Mansion that the Pavel family resolutely opposed Count Galeon's lion opening his mouth, the jade mine was attacked by the Moon Soul Werewolf, and the Silver Knight fought to the point that all members were injured, and more than a dozen people suffered from wolf venom and were dying, but fortunately, the family helped in time to survive the disaster. Brian also faintly pointed out that the Moon Soul Werewolf is raging, and the church has a certain responsibility, because it is their duty to protect the people and punish evil creatures.

Charlie did not expose the news of the escape of the clergy of the church in Black Rock Town, and it was unwise for him not to involve the church forces in the open for the time being, and provoke two opponents at the same time.

The news released by the official media will spread to major cities through the magic array, and it is believed that the Count of Galeon will hear Charlie's voice within two or three hours.

"Abby, good job, get started so quickly!" Charlie smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the familiar format of the report in his hand.

Abby's pretty face flushed slightly, and said, "It's Sister Anna who teaches well, I think I've benefited a lot from this week!"

Charlie bowed slightly, and said: "Abby, if you are interested, just study hard, mathematics is a practical subject, in a small way, it can improve your work efficiency, improve your business ability, in a large way, it determines your future height."

On the other hand, your brother has been excluded from the family for many years, and now he is in charge of the Pavel family, and there is an extreme lack of people to trust, and he depends on you to help share some affairs.

Moreover, in the future, our stage will not only be in the city of Haynes, Pavel's family flag will be planted in more territories, and your brother is not a person who is content with the status quo. ”

This report has a very different style from the regular style of the Wagram continent, and the data is the core of this report, presented in the form of magical elements, which is simple and intuitive, and pleasing to the eye. Obviously, this is the style of reporting on the planet, emphasizing the rigor of the data and parsing the data from multiple dimensions, so that you can see at a glance the business it portrays.

This is the result of the Castle Wilhelm math training course, and Anna is the financial officer, and of course she has to master some mathematical and statistical methods to make the data more meaningful.

Anna glanced at Charlie and said, "You're quite confident!"

Charlie spread his hands and asked, "Don't you believe in my abilities?"

"Believe! Why don't you believe it?! My brother was just competing with his brother and competing for the position of the head of the family, you are directly competing with several uncles, and one of them is still the current acting head of the family, in this case, you can still take power smoothly, if you don't obey you, who will you serve?!"

Charlie smiled bitterly: "Are you praising me?"

Anna gave a sly expression and said, "Guess!"

Caitlin watched the three juniors joke on the side, laughing without saying a word, after some treatment arranged by Charlie, her complexion gradually improved, and she could already stand up from the wheelchair, believing that after a while, she could completely get out of the wheelchair and return to normal.

Caitlin suddenly interjected, "Charlie, your attitude towards the incident in the jade mine is so tough, will it stimulate the Grand Duke of Wellington and the Holy Peak Church at the same time?"

Apparently, Caitlin also saw the gravity of the incident.

Charlie muttered: "Galeon is in response to this mining disaster, it should be my old classmate Peter who played an important role behind the scenes, plus, the Grand Duke of Wellington is faintly standing with the forces of the Four Princes, and the Prince of Wales is close to the Grand Prince, our political positions are different, and the contradictions are destined to be irreconcilable."

As for the Holy Peak Church, I don't want to provoke them on the surface for the time being, of course, Count Galeon is a rare believer of the church on the thousand-year-old imperial map, and the church will definitely help him secretly, as long as they don't show their attitude, I don't care, I have now been included in the Holy Peak Church's heretical wanted list, and the contradictions with the church are irreconcilable. ”

Abby said quietly: "Brother, how do you feel that the whole world is full of your enemies!"

Her melancholy demeanor amused both Anna and Caitlin.

Charlie touched his nose and explained: " The feud with the Church was due to the first Magical Creativity Competition, in which the Millennial Royal Family invited the Holy Peak Church to participate, and at that contest, I published an innovation about the Holy Flame Demon Pattern, which subverted the idea that the Divine Pattern was perfect, and contradicted the teachings of the Church, causing the Sons and Daughters in attendance to doubt the theories they believed in, inducing the depravity of the faith, which made a cardinal priest so angry that he wanted to kill me on the spot, but was stopped by His Majesty Crimson, and since then, I have been on the Church's heresy list. ”

After listening to Charlie's explanation, the three of them looked solemn.

Caitlyn said in a deep voice: "A good organization should convince people with virtue and attract followers with beliefs and values, not by this way of deception and repression, in this matter, you are not wrong. ”

Charlie sighed and said, "The Arcane Ring is greatly damaged, the master of the thousand-year-old empire is about to die, and the careerists of the church are afraid that they will raise their heads." ”
