Iwan was brought before the female lord, and after meeting him, he saluted respectfully, "Congratulations to Lord Ireya on becoming the new master of this land."

The girl waved her hand, "It's still early, most of the Westside is still in the hands of those Wing Clan and their allies."

Ilea had just returned from outside, and she was about to go on another expedition, so she was busy.

"Those lords don't really want to take refuge in Solomon, as long as they can take Rock Snow City, everyone will know that the wind has changed, and they must be happy to see a "one of their own" rule this land."

The female lord glanced at him, "You know people's hearts very well."

"As you know, I'm the Empire's former head of intelligence, and my main job is to collect and analyze all kinds of information."

"Analyzing intelligence?"

"That's right, I've had a lot of eyeliner, and they pass me hundreds of messages every day, and I'm going to pick out the ones that are worth noting and judge their urgency." Iwan replied.

After a pause, the intelligence director smiled bitterly, "But I looked away from those Wing Clansmen, I relied too much on my intelligence network all over the empire, and there was no indication that we would encounter an invasion at that time, and the opponent was so strong.

"I shouldn't have ignored your warning. If we had been well prepared, Cape Crab might not have fallen so quickly.

"Looking back now, those Wing-Clan people have crossed the ocean, and by the time they fly to Brattis they are very tired, it is a good time to start a decisive battle."

Iwan seemed to have been haunted by this until he sighed, "It's a pity for Garth, he won't follow my advice and stay at Lionheart."

"But I've heard that after those Wing people captured the royal capital, you were the first great nobleman to surrender to them."

The female lord touched her chin and said, "I thought you had an opinion about Garth. Honestly, do you have any credit for those WingClan people taking Lionheart?"

Iwan shook his head, "If I really betrayed His Majesty the Emperor, with the information I have in my hands, it won't take Solomon two months to take Lionheart Castle.

"I remained loyal to the royal family until the last moment before the city was destroyed, and the reason why I surrendered to those Wing people so quickly was because all the information I had at hand showed that the demise of the Vespasian family was a foregone conclusion, and I did not want to bury them." The former intelligence chief said frankly.

Ilea was noncommittal, "And what are your plans now, are you going to betray Solomon again in order to survive?"

"Solomon pardoned me and kept me as a minister, but I know that he never really trusted me, and that I was inferior to two bards in his eyes." Iwan Road.

"After Lanita's accident, Solomon didn't give me any chance to defend himself, and locked me up, he planned to hand me over to Zebulun to kill him to vent his anger, and my relationship with him had already ended.

"If it weren't for the great divine power on Saturday and the divine punishment, and the lack of interpreters for those Wing Clansmen, I would still be squatting in the prison of Rock Snow City." The former intelligence chief pouted.

"I don't think it's unreasonable for Solomon to be wary of you." The female lord touched her chin.

Iwan reluctantly said, "I just want a way to live, and I haven't betrayed my monarch."

"Really, but you just told me about the situation in Rock Snow City." Miss Rabbit's eyes widened, "Tell me how I can take it with the least effort."

The former intelligence chief finally stopped going around in circles, "Well, or to put it another way, I'll remain loyal to my monarch until I feel like I can't win the game of thrones."

"That's not what a nobleman of good character should say."

"Today is different from the past, and most of those nobles of high moral character no longer have the opportunity to stand in front of you." Iwan Road.

"I know what you're worried about, but it's not a problem for you at all, you have Prophet Merlin and Saturday behind you, according to me

You know you've never lost in the past, and you will probably do the same, so you don't have to worry about me betraying you."

The female lord raised an eyebrow, "I didn't say I wanted you to work for me."

"Then I'm begging you right now to give me a chance to prove my worth to you." Iwan got down on one knee.

"Durham has a strong ability to lead troops in battle, although I don't know why he is still alive, but with him by your side, you don't have to worry about military matters.

"The prophet Merlin is full of miracles and omnipotence, and you have wise counsellors who can always give you the right advice.

"Not to mention the brave generals and warriors under your command, but you still lack a subordinate who can collect information for you, analyze it, and handle all kinds of interpersonal relationships, and I happen to have the talent for this.

"Especially when you are ready to leave the Western Frontier and embark on a more magnificent journey to deal with a more complex political environment, no one knows the nobles of the empire better than me, and I will definitely come in handy at that time."

"Why should I leave the West?" The female lord asked rhetorically, "Well, although I promised Wilder to help him get back the Horn of Fertility, his territory is already on the edge of the West, so he can't be considered far."

"Cape Crab is your territory, too." Iwan said, "It was given to you by Edward II, and many nobles were present at the time."

「…………」

Miss Rabbit was silenced by the former intelligence chief, she hadn't been there once since she had accidentally taken possession of the Empire's largest seaport, and she hadn't even considered it her own territory.

Because with her and the Arias family's prestige in the Red Lion Empire, it would be tantamount to a fool's dream to truly rule Cape Crab.

But now it's different.

If she can really drive those Wing people out of the West and become the new owners of this land, then it also means that she may also have the capital to win the new land.

Although the female lord is not too interested in becoming the master of Shinriku, the problem is that the crab horn is too much to make money.

Nearly half of the empire's maritime trade took place there, and she didn't have to worry about money for the rest of her life.

Just thinking about it made the girl's heart beat faster.

The special former intelligence director was still tempting on the side, "The Wettin family is finished, the Drummond family has also been killed by those Wing Clansmen, and now the new land is ownerless.

"If you can get rid of those Wing Clans, you may be able to get the approval of the nobles there and let them willingly sacrifice the Crab Horn to you."

"It's too early to say this, let's take down Rock Snow City first." The female lord was rare and still kept her senses, and said with patience in her heart.
