Great Nobleman.

Chapter 1988 Dragons...

The Knight Golem also knew some of the situation on the front lines as Stella described, but not as much as Stella did.

The Hall of Radiant Flame will be able to establish a firm foothold in the northwest of the continent of Osia in two more months, which is much faster than he had imagined.

By then, many regions surrounding the Azure Wind Domain will obviously be facing the flames of war.

Thinking this, the Knight Golem also asked with some curiosity:
"The [Radiant Flame Hall] has already laid out its strategic objectives, so what are our plans?"

Finally, upon seeing the documents being processed in front of him, which contained information about further evacuating people southwards.

The knight golem pondered for a moment and continued:
"I don't know exactly how many people in the north haven't finished evacuating."

But now that the demonic forces of the [Radiant Hall] are gradually approaching the [Azure Wind Domain], the number of civilians who can be evacuated should be quite small, right?
In this situation, we should consider focusing more of our resources on stopping the [Radiant Hall] rather than helping the people evacuate.

By the way, I remember that a few months ago, military fortifications were being built extensively in the northern part of our Emerald Realm.

The situation in the Fairy Lake Region to the north and the Twilight Frost Region to the northeast should be similar?

Could it be that we have been making strategic concessions during this period?

"Will we only begin our full-scale resistance once the demons who landed along the coast have advanced to the [Azure Wind Domain]?"

Upon hearing this, he looked up in surprise at the knight golem that was quietly processing documents.

Stella nodded and said:
"That's pretty much what you said."

After the demons of the Radiant Hall landed, we held many battle meetings.

Ultimately, they decided to relinquish the land and focus more resources on evacuating supplies and civilians.

Although many generals were unwilling to let the [Radiant Hall] gain a foothold in the northwest of the continent.

But then a change occurred on the continent of Farns, and the demon army that was originally in the Dwarf Country was deployed to our battlefield.

This idea is now virtually impossible to realize.

Therefore, we decided to take the initiative to make concessions and use a more prudent plan to defend against the enemy and seek the future and long-term goals.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether these formidable defensive lines we have built will be able to successfully prevent the [Radiant Hall] from advancing further south.

Perhaps in another six months or so, the demon army will reach the Emerald City where we are now.

Because the specific details of the military strength and combat power of the Osia Continent, as well as the situation of the [Radiant Hall] army, are not readily available.

Therefore, Brand did not comment on Stella's words.

As for other things, as a high-end technical talent under Evelyn's command, even if the enemy really attacks, he certainly won't be affected too much.

At most, they'll just withdraw and move to another location to continue forging iron and 'purchasing' goods on the continent of Osia.

As for the Emerald City, although Brand also likes the local customs and culture, changing the current situation is a very difficult thing.

Compared to the continent of Osia, the high-end military force of the continent of Osia is actually in a relatively advantageous position.

The real weakness of the continent of Osia lies in the lower-level warriors and ordinary people.

Brand has many ways to help the continent of Osia defeat its powerful enemies.

However, extinguishing a 'wildfire' that is spreading rapidly and continuously over a vast area is no easy task.

In this situation, unless they directly intervene and expend significant effort to continuously assist the continent of Osia.

Otherwise, it is highly unlikely that it will bring about any significant change to the current situation.

Moreover, he had signed a contract.

For the next two years, he was unable to lead the library to the continent of Osia to confront the [Radiant Fire Hall].

Thinking about this, I realized that Virianna is currently trying to win over Evelyn.

After controlling the knight golem to hand back the several documents that had been processed to Stella.

He then controlled the knight golem to inquire:
"By the way, didn't you say a few months ago that you were going to investigate that [Dead Night Merchant Guild]? How's the investigation going?"

Upon hearing this question, Stella, who had taken the document to review it, said somewhat helplessly:

"I spoke frankly with Lady Evelyn about this matter before. Then I learned that Lady Evelyn didn't only value her friendship with that Lady Virianna."

Lady Evelyn also has her difficulties.

In the current situation, it's good enough to have an ally who can continue to support us, let alone allow us to be picky.
Look at the "Twilight Frost Domain" in Northeast China.

Even if the war on the continent of Farns were to end now, those Robert and Romien families who had previously signed a trade alliance with them...

They don't seem to have any intention of using their surplus war supplies to support Lady Cecilia, do they?

Therefore, according to Lady Evelyn's idea, for the sake of our Emerald Realm, even if that Viriana has some ulterior motives.

She believes that as long as it's not too outrageous, it's worth discussing.

Upon hearing this, I understood.

Thinking of that Lady Cecilia, the [Twilight Frost Dragon Queen], Brand also had some recollections.

A few days ago, when the war ended, that lady even sent people to persuade several gentlemen, hoping to gain their support by offering credit.

But how could a few powerful officials who only care about their own interests be easily persuaded?

Thinking this, Brand controlled the knight golem and said in a deep voice:

"I heard that Morning Blossom Territory is still supporting the Realm of Twilight Frost."

"It seems that Lady Cecilia already owes Duke Morningflower a considerable amount of magic coins?"

Speaking of this, Stella nodded and said:
"Lady Cecilia does indeed owe a large sum of magic coins."

In fact, I suspect that if Lady Cecilia hadn't set an example, Lady Evelyn wouldn't have accumulated so much debt with the [Dead Night Merchant Guild] and wouldn't have been prepared to indulge that Ms. Virianna.

Upon hearing this, Brand pondered for a moment and then said:

"Actually, Lady Cecilia and Lady Evelyn shouldn't be short of money, right?"

Even a single dragon scale could be exchanged for a considerable fortune.

As he spoke, Brand also recalled what he had seen and heard when he went to Evelyn's treasure vault.

Then, Stella suddenly looked up at the knight golem, then lowered her voice and said meaningfully:

"To be honest, both Lady Cecilia and Lady Evelyn must have a lot of magic coins in their treasure vaults."

However, to put it another way... dragons value their treasures more than their own lives.

There's basically only one reason why they'd take wealth from their vaults:
That is, the wealth they offer can allow them to reap even greater rewards!
"If they can't, even if they die in some corner, they won't take a single magic coin from the treasure vault!"

Listening to Stella's words and recalling Evelyn's usual behavior, the Knight Golem shook its head and said:

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

When I occasionally go shopping with Lady Evelyn, she always pays the bill.

Each time, the amount of magic coins spent is not just one or two.

Upon hearing this, Stella chuckled softly:
“I don’t deny that my analogy was slightly exaggerated.”

But going shopping and paying the bill is only something you're good at; do you really think Lady Evelyn would do something that loses money?

After saying this, he didn't wait for Brand to refute him.

Stella placed a new stack of documents in front of the knight golem, then smiled and said:

“My dear Sir Bernard, how about you take on the role of my deputy as well?”

Simply being a blacksmith isn't enough to fully showcase your abilities!

After glancing at the new stack of documents, which was much thicker than before, the Knight Golem said coldly:
"Stella, I'm not here today to help you with your work."

As for working part-time as your assistant... you're dreaming!
