The night was as cold as water, and Gavin XIII in the palace was as cold as this night, and he knew that the Marquis of Leo proposed by Duke Solo to be the general of the army was definitely not because of Leo's outstanding ability, nor because he believed that Leo could complete the plan, but because this plan was originally tailor-made for Leo.

Although he has not succeeded to the throne for a long time and has not been in power for a long time, after all, he grew up in this intriguing palace, and more than ten years of exposure have made Gavin XIII know that there is no love for no reason. Duke Solo, who has always looked at Leo unpleasantly and has always suspected that Leo has ulterior intentions, must have been carefully considered for the candidate he is proposing now. Even this plan was specially tailored for the design of Leo, and he and Leo had no reason to refuse, everything was for the sake of the empire, everything was legitimate.

At this moment, Duke Solo's face and dull expression made Gavin XIII realize that Duke Solo, who had always regarded himself as a diehard loyalist of the Varu Empire, was not under his control, including those senior senators, who were only courteous to the throne, rather than truly respecting and obeying his own emperor. This incident was a wake-up call in Gavin XIII's mind, but at least for now, he had little reason to oppose Duke Solo.

"Yes, Marquis Leo can fight well and has repeatedly made great contributions to the empire, he is the most suitable person!"

"Well, although Marquis Leo is young, he is a young man and should be able to take on such a big responsibility!"

"I agree!"

"Seconded!"

Several ministers, who originally made a lot of money, changed their tone one after another after Duke Solo proposed a candidate, and echoed Duke Solo's suggestion. This direction of the wind made Gavin XIII once again convinced of his own judgment, and the ministers had only come to the hall to play a play with him.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Leo has been working with you to spy on the military situation in the south and capture the Grand Duke of Wagner, to repelling the wolf army, entering the palace to rescue the first emperor, and then pacifying the south to repel the magician group, all of which show that Marquis Leo has enough ability to deal with this matter, and Marquis Leo is really the best candidate!" Duke Solo said again.

Gavin XIII stared at Duke Solo coldly, his heart had never been so disgusted with this duke known as the Eye of the Empire, perhaps in the eyes of this duke, his own majesty the emperor was just a person sitting on the throne, it didn't matter if he was called Raymond or something else.

"Well, at the suggestion of Duke Solo, order the Marquis of Leo to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible. Gavin XIII barely smiled on his face, nodded in agreement with Duke Solo's proposal.

Duke Solo's rigid face did not show any expression, and after bowing respectfully, he left the hall with the other ministers.

On this icy night, in the great hall of the council, where the flames were lit as if it were day, Gavin XIII sat alone at the long table of the council. At this time, he misses Leo very much, at least when Leo is there, he is like having a backbone, Leo will help him come up with ideas and analyze everything, no matter how difficult things are, Leo will take him to fight a bloody road.

There is no family affection in the deep palace, Leo is like his brother, and like his mentor supporting him and guiding him all the way, without Leo, Gavin XIII does not know if he will one day ascend to the throne.

"I will never allow anyone to hurt Leo, not even the patriarch or the duke, no matter who it is, I will not forgive!" Gavin XIII clenched his fists with his hands, secretly making up his mind.

And Leo didn't know that in the imperial capital hundreds of miles away, a storm was brewing around him. He was already overwhelmed by the goblin affairs, and after receiving the order to allow the goblins to belong to the empire and become a vassal race of the Varu Empire, Leo issued a lord order as quickly as he could, making the will of Gavin XIII public, and declared that his castle would be the boundary, and a large area of land north of the castle to the border of the badlands wasteland would be classified as a goblin settlement, and no one was allowed to go without the permission of the Marquis of Leo, so as not to move and settle the goblins.

In the vast northern frontier, from Leo Castle to the border of the Badlands Wasteland, it is already a vast land, with abundant flora and fauna and abundant water for those hungry goblins to live a paradise life.

At the same time, Leo also decided to let Karahuo continue to train goblins, planting, mining, and smelting, especially the training of goblin soldiers is imminent. Because of the Goblin Clan's strong reproductive ability, once they have a stable life, their numbers will definitely flood out of control like a flood, and Leo must take precautions in advance to consume the Goblin population through war, so as not to have an impact on the human society of the Varu Empire.

This time, Leo personally went to the Goblin Fortress with Karasha, and was glad to find that he had thought of this earlier...... Without orcs and beasts, goblins, deprived of their natural predators, quickly multiplied and gave birth unscrupulously. In a few months, the number of goblins in the wasteland has grown rapidly from 40,000 to 60,000, and if no measures are taken, I am afraid that the northern frontier of the empire will be completely occupied by these little green-skinned creatures in the near future.

Since you have made up your mind to use war to consume the number of goblins, then the training of goblin soldiers does not need to be too troublesome, you just need to let them learn to obey orders, as for what combat skills and tactical arrangements can be completely omitted, anyway, the number of goblins is enough to drown the enemy.

In the following time, Leo threw himself into the goblin fortress, first summoned a team of begging soldiers, and ordered them to teach goblins how to grow crops, how to identify ores to mine minerals, how to use clay kilns to smelt, and then arrange his own goblin legion to train those wild wasteland goblins, only need to learn to order and prohibit, and the weapons are simple, and the weapons stored in the underground vault are enough to arm these goblins.

A fast horse, a messenger delivered orders from the imperial capital to Leo. Looking at the order above to return to the imperial capital, and the attached sheet of Ney's account of the cause of the incident, Leo stood on the shooting platform of the Goblin Fortress, looking at the green-skinned goblins scattered in the mountains below, with a contemptuous smile on his face.
