But only those who are actually in the game know how difficult it is to walk in that position, and how difficult it is to walk on thin ice every month.

Because you never know when a cold arrow will be shot from the dark.

In the past, the person who obtained the supreme power was often not the original first-in-line heir, but someone who had changed countless times.

Not to mention anything else, at least before Conard, two first-in-line heirs had already passed away. One died young just after he was born, and the other's body has not been found, and even his soul has not been found.

Matthew couldn't hide his surprise in his words: "Young Master, are you so optimistic about Zalanda?"

Another possibility that Conard mentioned is that under the leadership of Zalanda, Darauma's power has grown so rapidly that even the Saradas family can't suppress it, so he can surrender and the relationship between the two cities can be well established.

Due to the relationship, the person with whom the alliance contract was signed must be sent to the location of the city lord.

"If she is just one person, that matter must be carefully considered, but now they are two people." Conrad's eyes flashed with wisdom, "Let me ask, how many people in that world dare to

Organize that kind of large-scale migration? Have I ever thought about what it will mean if it succeeds?"

Matthew was lost in thought. After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head and said: "Once they succeed, they will open up a new Darauma. The two places will be able to communicate with each other. They may even be able to open a new trade route."

Come."

"Their current framework is neither immigration nor military. If necessary, they can capture cities and territories." Conrad's analysis showed that he has a large number of informants in Dalauma, and he has a lot of information.

Very accurate, "If they want to go to the valley, they will definitely not be able to go through most of Tessel and take the original trade route. They can just follow the Is River and swim directly across the entire Is River. Wherever they go, it will affect

The power will definitely radiate wherever they go. Judging from their other preparations, they are likely to directly open up the Giant Plains. Is there an unclaimed land there? A new trade route from Dalauma to the Dragon Coast is worth it. He doesn't need to spend much time.

Did you say it?"

"In this way, the economic blockade imposed by the warlords and aristocrats on Tethyr will collapse, and Darauma will have strategic depth beyond imagination." Matthew couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said, "At that time, it will be closed and isolated.

On the contrary, it is their Saradas, and developing eastward is their only way out. They must do it as soon as possible, because they have enough strategic depth to cope with the increasing pressure from Dalauma."

"And that's their opportunity." Conrad had straightened out his thinking through the conversation, "Before those old guys react completely, they will move their Holy Blade Heavy Cavalry Corps to the east. They

He wants to take root there, gain more citizens, and occupy more cities. When the pressure from Darauma is strong enough, he will want to be the lord of Saradas City, and they will ask him to

when."

Matthew looked at Conrad blankly for a few seconds, feeling a little embarrassed at his little master. Then he let out a long sigh and said: "His young master has grown up completely, and he can actually see so much."

High, so far, well, while his old bones are still mobile, he is willing to be the pioneer of the young master, expand the territory for you, and conquer their foundation in the east."

"Okay, Uncle Matthew, I'll just wait for his good news!" Conard laughed heartily, his eyes sparkling, he seemed to have seen a bright road to success, and he started without hesitation.

Teleportation.

In a second, he appeared in the teleportation service area outside Saradas City, took the reins of the war horse handed over by the attendants, and went straight to the conference hall of the city lord's palace. Just as he expected, the elders' meeting lasted for a day and a night.

The meeting was never over, and roars could be heard from time to time.

In the past, Conrad would not have been qualified to intervene in a meeting of that level, and would have been blocked at the door by those guards.

But that time, the guards did not stop him immediately. The captain of the guard looked at him deeply, turned around and shouted inside: "Captain Conard is back."

"Why did that bastard who dared to act without authorization come back so quickly?"

"Severe punishment. This kind of behavior that ignores military regulations will never continue. He must be severely punished and stripped of his position as commander of the First Army."

"He must have been in contact with that crazy woman from Darauma. It's not too late to let him in and listen to what he has to say. After all, if they continue to quarrel there, it won't be the same."

The chattering inside could be clearly heard even outside the door. Conrad curled his lips with some disdain. A group of old and stubborn bastards. Is it because of our group of selfish old people?

You fool, you allowed Saradas to have such abundant resources, and still live in a corner.

The west shall not seize the imperial power of Tethyr, and the east shall not claim kingship in the Lake of Steam.

I must not follow in their footsteps and become the same old fool as them. Change starts from the bright moon and bright time.

The news came that he was allowed to enter. When he was about to step into the city lord's meeting hall, Conrad's expression changed rapidly. Respect and humility merged into one. Now he can change his attitude and the way he does things.

Those old guys have to continue to make mistakes, because if they are not careful, they will become their biggest resistance.

After entering the council hall, Conard bowed and saluted: "I have met the Lord of the City, and I have met all the elders."

There was a cold snort in the council hall. In response, the highest power holder here, the patriarch of the Saladas family, Francis, the hereditary Duke of Tessel, said coldly: "I led the troops without authorization.

I’ll leave it alone tomorrow and talk about my gains in this line of work.”

"Thank you City Lord and the elders for your kindness." Conard replied truthfully, "He has had a brief meeting with the Lord of Zalanda. They proposed a new cooperation plan and requested to sign an agreement with them in the name of the Goddess of Strategy.

The non-infringement agreement, with the River Is as the boundary, allowed them to expand to the northeast and they expanded to the east.”

"You have such a big mouth. You actually want to swallow up the North Yis Plain in one mouthful. Are you afraid of eating too much?"

"No, we must not agree to that kind of agreement. Don't say that the Northern Isles Plain has been paying taxes to them. Even her Darauma was originally their appendage. We must never ignore her expansion again.

If she goes east, she will directly threaten their status here."
