Great Nobleman.

Chapter 1990 Peace and War!
Hearing Celine's words, Brand was slightly surprised and said:

"So there's a real possibility she might renege on her debt?"

Celine shrugged and said:
"I don't know about that, which is why I sent you to test the waters."

Upon hearing this, Chris shook her head and said:
"My lord, rest assured, it is unlikely that Ms. Cecilia will choose to renege on her debt."

Even if Lady Cecilia chooses to default on her debt, the lord can still bring her back to settle it, right?

However, according to Celine's sister, that Ms. Cecia might actually have some unusual ideas.

Brand asked curiously:

"for example?"

Upon hearing Brand's question, Chris hesitated for a moment before shaking her head again and saying:

"I'm not entirely sure right now, I just have a few guesses."

How about I wait until I've made up my mind before informing the lord?

Upon hearing this, Brand nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

After Brand looked away, Chris's eyes began to wander.

—It's not that they're completely unsure, but it's already late at night, and if they spoil their lord's good mood, they might suffer later!
……

Although the war on the continent of Osia was raging.

However, the continent of Farns is rapidly returning to peace and stability.

As the one-month deadline for the complete end of the continental war approached.

A small city without walls stands in the northwest of the Kaya Empire, in the buffer zone where it meets the Orc Empire.

This is Aledor, a trading city jointly established by the Kaya Empire and the neighboring Grizzly Bear tribe!
It symbolizes the establishment of friendship between the Kaya Empire and the neighboring orc tribes.

After a ribbon-cutting ceremony involving the Imperial Crown Prince, Patrick Fuentes, and the heir to the Grizzly Clan's next chieftain.

Aledor officially opened to the public, and merchants from the Kaya Empire and surrounding orc tribes quickly moved in.

One trade order after another is signed here.

One after another, freight caravans arrive from afar and depart fully loaded.

After witnessing the grandeur of Aledor, many people couldn't help but feel moved by the dissipation of past hatreds and the changes of the times.

While many past events are hard to forget, we are ultimately looking forward!
With Aledo as a successful precedent.

As a month passed, the more promising maritime trade officially broke the ice!

Early that morning, a medium-sized maritime caravan from the Orc Empire passed the inspection of the Imperial Navy and officially entered the waters of the Kaya Empire.

They then headed east and eventually arrived at the royal port of the Kaya Empire.

Unlike many other orc tribes that had some enmity with the human alliance.

This maritime caravan belongs to an orc tribe called the Wildhoof Tribe.

—They are a secret ally of the Kaya Empire!
Royal Port of the Kaya Empire.

Watching Rigoberto Manti, the current chieftain of the Barbarian Hoof tribe, lead a group of elaborately dressed minotaurs off the ship.

Brand and Patrick quickly went to meet them.

After Rigoberto and Padric held a formal diplomatic meeting.

Brand, arm in arm with Catherine who was accompanying him, stepped forward and said:

"It's been so many years, Mr. Rigoberto has changed so much, he's a Titan Orc now!"

Hearing Brand's words and looking at Brand in front of him, Rigoberto smiled and responded:
"Mr. Brand has also changed quite a bit."

Besides, I still vividly remember the taste of the chocolates you gave me back then!

Patrick interjected with a cheerful tone:
"Alright, I know you want to catch up, but don't just sit here in the sun. Lunch is ready, how about we chat as we walk?"

Upon hearing this, they didn't linger at the dock and headed towards the port, chatting and laughing all the way.

Behind them, numerous merchants from the Empire and the Barbarian Hoof tribes followed, chatting and introducing the goods they had prepared, as well as the prospect of a prosperous trade future!
Another half month passed.

After the Barbarian Hoof Tribe sold all their goods and left laden with goods from the Human Alliance, they departed.

That morning, at the dock of Chenhua Port.

Yerson, Andy, and Finn bid farewell to the gentlemen and stepped onto the deck of the Golden Wheat Field via the gangway.

At the same time, Louise also waved goodbye to Madeline, Sharon, Brand, and others, and stepped onto the deck of the Blood Amber warship, which served as a caravan escort vessel.

Subsequently, they led their massive combined fleet out of port, heading north to join the even larger imperial fleet, and together they sailed eastward.

This time, their target is not only the Elf Forest, but the Eternal Night Forest further east is their ultimate destination!
After seeing the fleet off.

When everyone returned, their faces were full of smiles.

"Life is getting better and better!"

"Our family's business income has been increasing month by month for the past few months, and the rate of increase shows no signs of slowing down!"

"Everyone in the empire should be pretty much the same. Now that I think about it, our empire's expansionist wars were truly a wise move!"
Look at those landlocked countries, aren't they all green with envy?

"Well, you can't say that. The Endless Sea is actually quite dangerous."

In other words, the nearby marine races have recently been drawn to the Northern Islands.

"By the way, what's the situation like in the Northern Islands now? Doesn't our empire have a base there?"

"It's complete chaos! There's fierce fighting everywhere, and it's likely to continue for a long time..."

While the gentlemen were discussing the Northern Islands.

Sharan said to Brand:
"Speaking of war, on the continent of Osia, it seems that the [Hall of Blazing Fire] is almost at the edge of the [Twilight Frost Domain]."

When asked about this, Brand shook his head and said:

"It's not that we're about to hit them, it's that we've already hit them."

Just a few days ago, demon legions that had traveled deep into the northwestern coastal region of the continent of Osia began to arrive in the [Azure Wind Domain].

They gathered with the powerful demons stationed in the western wilderness of the Azure Wind Domain, near the large demon gate.

Because the [Twilight Frost Domain] is located to the southeast of the [Azure Wind Domain], and it is also the only 'large domain' in the vicinity.

Therefore, they are now fully prepared for war.

Ms. Cecilia also invited me to attend their pre-battle rally next week.

Madeline nodded and said:
"We received the invitation, but we were hesitant about whether to go or not, as it seems unsafe there now."

However, if Mr. Brand wants to go, we can go together.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Robert, who was standing nearby, interjected:
"I think you should reconsider."

When you go there this time, that [Twilight Frost Dragon Emperor] will definitely try to get investment from you again.

Although Brand's power and influence meant he wasn't afraid of her defaulting on her debt.

But if the [Twilight Frost Domain] falls, and the [Twilight Frost Dragon Emperor] also dies on the battlefield, then all your efforts will have been in vain.”

Sharan hesitated and said:
"Although the wars on the continent of Osia are fierce, there aren't many precedents of the Dragon Emperor dying in battle, are there?"

They should have a lot of cards up their sleeve.

Master Robert shook his head and said:
"Who can say for sure about war? I think you should be more cautious."
