Lords go left, Emperors go right

"Chris, is this source of information reliable? It's rare that even the stingy Fifth Brother is willing to spend money to recruit troops. The Sixth Brother is really a showman. The Magellan Wharf has been economically depressed by his heavy tariff policy. What's the point of banning the sea now? He can't even act."

Aosta sat in the carriage, observing the situation on the town streets through the window, while Chris reported the latest situation to him. After receiving the personal letter from Emperor Augustus VIII, the Sixth Prince Osdu and the Fifth Prince Osla of the neighboring territory made certain policy changes. However, Aosta could roughly guess their little calculations, and they were definitely not sincerely responding to the emperor's call to suppress the bandits.

When Aosta finished his inspection and returned to his temporary lord's mansion, he received news from a messenger from the neighboring territory. It turned out that in order to respond to the call of Emperor Augustus VIII, under the joint initiative of the eldest prince Osed and the imperial envoy Baron Grisman, they planned to organize a joint anti-bandit operation, that is, a joint combat operation in which all nine princes would send troops to fight against the bandits, to show their father the determination and will of the princes.

Osta was not interested in this joint action, and always felt that this initiative had some political implications. If he did not go, it would seem that he had ulterior motives. If he went, he did not have the right army. The army under the Pirate Queen Belus and Lianna belonged to the navy and was not suitable for land warfare. It would be awkward for them to participate in such a bandit suppression operation as pirates.

It is not easy to send out the 80,000 people of the Sword of Guardian Tribe. Now the territory of Aosta is guarded by the guard group composed of more than 80,000 high-level swordsmen. If they are sent out, the defense force will be empty. If the Sarahanim people take the opportunity to attack the territory of Aosta, it will be a loss.

"It's really difficult. Big brother is so active at this time. Do we have to spend money to hire a mercenary group to deal with the situation? The price is too unreasonable."

"Your Highness Osta, I just heard good news from Loritana (the Black Witch). You can go find the Valkyrie Tribe. They should be able to fight on your behalf."

"Yulia, tell me more details."

Just when Osta was worried, his personal maid Yulia brought back good news. She had just learned valuable information from the black witch Loritana. Among the several primitive tribes of the Lonosbil people, the female leader of the Valkyrie tribe has always adhered to the principle of justice. Maybe the Valkyrie tribe can help with this foreign mission.

The overall strength of the Valkyrie tribe is stronger than that of the Sword of Guardian tribe. They have been confronting the Orc tribe of the Sarahanim people for a long time. Currently, no one dares to act rashly to break this status quo. If Osta can help the Valkyrie tribe solve the problem, they will definitely help. It's just that the Orc tribe is not easy to deal with. This tribe is more warlike than the previous witch tribe.

The preparation time for the joint anti-bandit campaign called by the eldest prince Osder was only about a week. If Osta could not ask the Valkyrie tribe to help, he could only spend gold coins and hire those war mercenaries at a high price to support the scene, which was very expensive. In order to save money, Osta finally decided to try to invite the Valkyrie tribe to help. According to intelligence, the female leader of the Valkyrie tribe had a very good figure. No matter what, it would be worth meeting her and it was worth a try.

Chapter 61: Visiting the Powerful Valkyrie Tribe

Osed, the eldest prince of the Obelisk Empire, plans to organize a joint military operation to demonstrate to the outside world the military strength of the Obelisk Empire's dispatched lords. He also wants to take the opportunity to perform well in front of the Emperor Augustus VIII, establish prestige for his other brothers, and prove the legitimacy of his identity as the heir to the throne.

Aosta was not optimistic about whether Osder could prove himself. His eldest brother was too mediocre, and the position of the heir to the throne was not stable. If it were not for the pressure from their father, the other princes would not dare to challenge the eldest prince openly, and would keep making small moves in secret.

Osta also decided to participate in this joint operation a week later, just for the sake of showing his respect, but he didn't have any extra troops to send out. In order to save money and not trouble those expensive war mercenaries, Osta decided to adopt the advice of the black witch Loritana and recruit the Valkyrie tribe belonging to the Lonosbil people to see if he could ask them to come forward for support.

The total population of the Valkyrie Tribe is about 200,000. Like the Guardian Sword Tribe, it is a powerful tribe with all its citizens skilled in martial arts. Among the primitive tribes of the Lonosbil people, the Valkyrie Tribe is a relatively strong tribe. The hostile Sarahanim tribe will generally not attack the Valkyrie Tribe unless it is absolutely necessary. Actively attacking them will not be worth the loss.

Osta took the exclusive lord carriage and set off with Chris and three other exclusive attendants and maids, heading towards the location of the Valkyrie tribe. No translators were needed for this trip. The female leader of the Valkyrie tribe was said to be as proficient in the human language as the female leader of the Guardian Sword tribe, "Sword Soul" Tiffany, so they could communicate normally without arranging a translator.

"Lord Osta, do you need our help this time? Capture the female chief first, and then we can negotiate."

"Yulia, we are here to negotiate. We don't need to use such evil methods. I heard that the female chief is very upright. We should be able to reach an agreement."

"Lord Osta, I was just joking, but that method should be the most effective."

"Yulia, I will consider your suggestion."

Osta declined the evil suggestion of his maid Yulia. Of course, he did not explicitly rule out this option. After all, time was tight and there was only one week to prepare. Excluding the time for the army to assemble, it was actually less than a week. The actual preparation time given to Osta was only about five days. The negotiation with the Valkyrie tribe must be quick and decisive, as fast as possible.

The Valkyrie tribe lives in the Ignaz forest area. This primeval forest is lush with trees, tall ancient trees everywhere, dense water networks, many streams running through the forest, and abundant fresh water resources. The Valkyrie tribe also relies on hunting to maintain their daily lives. The rich forest resources have bred rich animal resources, which is simply a dream of the Garden of Eden for the hunting tribe.

Osta had obtained relevant intelligence in advance and successfully found the village of the Valkyrie Tribe in the Ignaz Forest. When the Obelisk Empire expeditioned to the Central Continent, it had never fought with the Valkyrie Tribe because the environment of the Ignaz Forest was complex and very unfavorable for the well-equipped imperial army.

When Osta saw the clan members of the Valkyrie tribe, he felt lucky for the Imperial Army. Fortunately, they did not fight with the Valkyrie tribe, otherwise, they would have been beaten to the point of doubting their lives. The Obelix Empire Army dominated the Western Continent, but was not so strong on the mainland. So far, no human empire has been able to gain a clear advantage on the Central Continent, and they are all in the exploration stage.

Every member of the Valkyrie tribe is a warrior. This primitive tribe values ​​martial arts and the warrior spirit. In this respect, it is similar to the Amazon tribe. The strongest members of the tribe are all female. These female tribe members are even more terrifying than the Amazon female warriors. They have some Valkyrie bloodline. As long as conditions permit, they can transform into Valkyries under certain circumstances, and their strength will quickly increase by several levels in a short period of time.

It is said that in the prehistoric civilization period, the predecessor of the Valkyrie tribe was a branch of the Goddess tribe. Among the primitive tribes of the Lonosbil people, they were among the top three, stronger than the Secret Realm Witch Tribe and on par with the Styx Guide Tribe. These Valkyries have been passed down to this day and luckily escaped the catastrophe of the demise of prehistoric civilization, which is also a miracle.

Osta carefully observed the outside through the window of the carriage and roughly saw some of the conditions of the Valkyrie tribe. The Valkyrie tribe is not only a matriarchal society, but the strongest fighting force is women. The production activities of this tribe are mainly done by men. These male warriors are very strong, but they don’t have the blood of goddesses, so they can’t compare with female warriors. Female warriors have the blood of Valkyries and are extremely talented, and can easily crush male warriors.

The female warriors of the Valkyrie tribe are all called Valkyries. They wear special Valkyrie armor, and they are heroic. Compared with other primitive tribe members that Osta has seen, the two are completely different in style. The special armor exclusive to the Valkyrie looks very eye-catching, and Osta can't take his eyes off it.

The design of the Valkyrie armor is not conservative, unlike traditional armor that is thick and rigid. This type of female armor adopts a cool design concept. Compared with the general armor that focuses on defense, this one focuses on attack, ensuring that the wearer is not restricted by the weight of the armor when attacking.

The Valkyrie's armor is divided into helmet, breastplate, skirt, hand armor (hand guards), leg armor (combat boots), shoulder armor and cloak. The helmet is a Valkyrie-exclusive helmet with feather decoration, the breastplate is in the shape of a tube top, and the skirt is shaped like a miniskirt. These armors are all exquisite and small in style, with limited coverage, and you can see the slender white legs, the delicate collarbone and the tempting ravine clearly visible.

The female warriors were tall, with an average height of over 170cm, a standard supermodel figure. When paired with armor, they really looked like Valkyries descending to earth. The Valkyrie tribe's usual hunting work was basically done by these female warriors, which could be considered a daily practice.

There are about 100,000 males and 100,000 females in the Valkyrie tribe clan, which is a relatively balanced number. The real fighting force comes from the female warriors who claim to be descendants of Valkyrie. The armor worn by the female warriors is similar in style but different in materials, which is to distinguish the levels.

After observing for a while, Osta discovered the secret. There are three types of Valkyrie armor, corresponding to the three types of Valkyrie. The goddess armor worn by the blonde and blue-eyed female warriors is made of gold, giving people the illusion of a gold saint. The female warriors with white hair and red eyes wear Valkyrie armor made of silver, like silver saints. The last type is the female warriors with black hair and black eyes. The goddess armor they wear is made of black iron.

The material of the Valkyrie's armor does not represent the level of combat power, it just means that the attributes of the female warrior are different. The golden Valkyrie belongs to the traditional orthodox Valkyrie status. The weapons she uses are the holy spear and holy shield, and she mainly attacks with pure force.

The Silver Valkyrie can cast magic and uses the holy sword and holy shield as weapons. She can use both physical attacks and magical attacks at the same time, similar to the magic swordsmen and magic warriors who practice both magic and martial arts.

The black Valkyries are relatively heretical beings, and their attack methods are rather evil. They basically don't use shields, but use all kinds of weapons. Compared to Valkyries, they are more like berserkers who master magic.

The golden Valkyries were the most numerous, accounting for about 80% of the total number of Valkyries. The rest were the silver Valkyries and the black Valkyries, accounting for only 12% and 8% respectively, and were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers.

The orthodox status of the golden Valkyries was accumulated by the advantage of numbers. No matter which kind of Valkyries they were, they were all very beautiful, with extremely fair skin, it was hard to imagine that they were from primitive tribes.

Osta regretted it a little. If he really took these Valkyries to the battle, it would seem that he was at a loss. There were not many women in the armies of other brothers. As for combat effectiveness, there was no problem. The individual combat effectiveness of these Valkyries could easily crush the high-level warriors of the human race, and their equipment was not for show.

As a gentleman, Osta obviously wanted to recruit these Valkyries into his lord's guard rather than send them to the battlefield. He was afraid that other princes would be jealous and find excuses to borrow people from him. He could refuse those princes with whom he had a bad relationship. But it would be more troublesome to refuse those who had a better relationship, such as the seventh prince Ausel, who was a gentleman of the same trade. When he was in the Western Continent, the only few times that Osta did not go out were to go to brothels with the seventh prince Ausel. Every time, the seventh prince paid the bill, and he owed a lot of favors.

"Welcome, guests from afar. Are you the new lord in the legend? I think your height is barely acceptable!"

"When did I become a legend? Nice to meet you, Matriarch, you are so tall..."

"Don't be so formal, Mr. Lord. Just call me by my name. The title of Miss feels weird, and Savannah can't bear it."

Osta successfully met the matriarch of the Valkyrie tribe, Savannah, known as the "True Valkyrie". Savannah is a tall, blonde, blue-eyed beauty with a queen's aura. Her height of 182CM easily crushes Osta. Osta needs to look up to see her, as there is a difference of nearly 10CM. She is taller than Osta's father, Emperor Augustus VIII of the Empire.

Savannah's figure was plump, too plump, and full of flesh. The peaks in front of her were over D in height, and looked heavy, as if they were about to burst her breastplate at any time. Among the beauties around Osta, the imperial female brigadier general Meilan, who was also D in height, was much inferior to Savannah.

Savannah's beautiful sky-blue eyes look extremely pure, without any distractions, which adds a lot of goddess aura to her. Savannah is the only one among the many female warriors of the Valkyrie tribe who has the ability to transform into a second stage. She can spread her sacred wings in battle, and after the wings are spread, she will transform into a real Valkyrie. She rarely uses the transformation state, because so far few people have been able to force her to this point. Most Valkyries have a limited transformation time. As the chief of the tribe, Savannah has the longest transformation time and can maintain the Valkyrie state for a day.

Osta didn't care much about Savannah's fighting ability. As a gentleman, he was more concerned about the appearance of this female leader. Savannah was not only beautiful, but also had the sacred aura unique to goddesses. This heroic Valkyrie temperament was not possessed by ordinary beauties.

When meeting Osta, Savannah didn't know the rumors about the gentleman of the lord in front of her, and she was not wary of him. Savannah was still absolutely confident in her own strength. In terms of single-round combat power, "Sword Soul" Tiffany could not beat Savannah who had not transformed into a Valkyrie.

Among the matriarchs of the various primitive tribes in the Bloomfield Territory, few have the combat power to force Savannah to use the Valkyrie transformation, and even fewer can fight her on equal terms. Most of them cannot beat Savannah in the second stage of the Valkyrie state.

"Savannah, time is running out. I'm going to tell you straight, I hope you can do me a favor."

"Mr. Lord, I can help you. I always uphold justice and order. What kind of help do you want?"

"this..."

At the same time, in the study of the temporary lord's mansion in Lainess City, the white witch Gonias and the black witch Loritana were helping Lord Osta to tidy up the study. The two wore similar black and white Gothic maid outfits. Osta was not in the study, so he missed the interesting scene. Gonias leaned against the bookshelf and was forced back there by Loritana, with one hand on the bookshelf and the other holding a book. Loritana looked like she was going to kiss him forcefully, with one foot just pushing forward.

"Loritana, you can't show that book to the lord. It will... make the lord a bad person."

"Gonias, you know what the lord likes. It's okay. This book teaches you how to please girls. It's totally fine."

"That book was a banned book in the prehistoric civilization period and has been sealed for a long time... Are you sure you want to show it to the Lord?"

"My Lord is the descendant of an ancient god (a time traveler), I think it's okay!"

Chapter 62: On the Eve of Joint Operations

In the center of the village of the Valkyrie tribe deep in the Ignaz Forest, Lord Osta is visiting the female leader of the Valkyrie tribe, the "True Valkyrie" Savanna, hoping to seek help and get her to join his camp. In the next joint military operation, Osta's territory cannot mobilize extra troops, and this gentleman prince does not want to spend a lot of money to hire those war mercenaries to make up the numbers. In order to save costs, inviting the Valkyrie tribe to send troops is the best choice.

"Savanna, I plan to join the joint military operation this time to defeat those evil people."

Osta looked up at Savannah's pure sky blue eyes and told her his purpose sincerely. Savannah had pure goddess blood. The gods had a way to identify the lies of the human race with a very high accuracy rate. Therefore, Osta did not risk lying. While talking, Osta took the opportunity to carefully look at the "real Valkyrie" Savannah.

Savannah was wearing a set of emerald green armor exclusive to the Valkyrie, which was definitely a holy weapon. Osta could feel a huge breath of life from it. Although the style of the armor was similar to that of ordinary female warriors, the powerful life energy contained in the armor was incomparable to those female warriors' equipment.

In terms of exposure, Savannah's set of holy weapons, the Valkyrie armor, is also cool in style, with shoulder armor, tube-style breast armor, and hand armor (hand guards). She wears a black gold Valkyrie exclusive helmet, with small snow-white wing decorations (headdresses) on both sides of the helmet. Because of the high exposure, you can see your navel, but not your cleavage.

Savannah wore a white bellyband-style lining under her breastplate, which just covered the gully. This made Osta a little entangled. Obviously, the female warriors under her command were all dressed openly, but Savannah, as the female leader, chose to be conservative in such a place.

Savannah's lower body is equipped with skirt armor and leg armor, without silk stockings. Above the super long platinum leggings are the slender white legs. There is a long white pocket cloth in the middle of the skirt armor, just covering the private area. This way of wearing is similar to Natasha, the female leader of the witch tribe, but I don't know if there is anything under the white pocket cloth, or if there is panties.

The holy weapon-level armor that Savannah is equipped with has a gold border and a sapphire decoration in the center of the breastplate. As a holy weapon, it is much more impressive than the armor of her female warriors. The Valkyries under her only have some Valkyrie bloodline and cannot be considered as real Valkyries. Only Savannah is the only Valkyrie. In the entire Valkyrie tribe, only Savannah is equipped with a white cloak on her back, which is the symbol of a true Valkyrie, and only a true Valkyrie is qualified to wear it.

When talking to Osta, Savannah was carrying weapons and equipment. In her right hand, she held a round holy shield made of platinum with beautiful magic patterns with gold edges. The patterns were complex and looked like spells. In her left hand, she held a golden holy spear with two curved blades on the tip of the spear. It could be used in battle to directly stab the opponent or as a sickle to chop the enemy.

The user of this set of holy equipment has a strong recovery ability and can continuously obtain the support of life energy. Basically, they are invincible unless the effect of the holy equipment is broken. With the blessing of this set of holy equipment, Savannah can easily fight the super monster Hydra that attacked Milan City before. The Obelisk Empire Expeditionary Force did not attack here at the beginning, otherwise, it would be highly likely that the Valkyrie Savannah would break through the defense line and break through the Imperial Army alone.

Holy artifacts are the best equipment that can be found at present. Artifacts only exist in legends and are mysterious and have disappeared in various continents. The artifacts that humans have discovered so far are basically just artifact fragments, which are defective or counterfeit. No one has discovered the real artifact in the past few hundred years.

While looking at the girl, Osta couldn't help but look at the armor for a while longer, and Savannah noticed it. After all, Osta would not hide his gentlemanly eyes. Savannah was not shy. Valkyrie usually dressed like this when fighting. She was used to it. She didn't feel strange when being seen, and she didn't care too much.

"Mr. Lord, your suggestion is good, I can consider it. By the way, my armor is suitable for Valkyries and can only be equipped by girls, so you can take a look at it, but don't pay any attention to anything else!"

"Savannah, I don't have that idea. Do you still need to consider it? I don't have much time left."

Savannah did not refuse, but said that she would consider it. Osta did not want to give her time to think, as he did not have much time left. Ever since he saw the Valkyrie tribe's female warriors dressed up, Osta had made up his mind that he must recruit his own men from this tribe, so that the benefits would not flow to outsiders.

Especially the "True Valkyrie" Savannah, this beautiful clan leader can easily defeat the "Sword Soul" Tiffany when equipped with the holy weapon. If such a powerful clan leader does not become one of his own and stand on his side, Osta is also worried, for fear that Savannah will become more troublesome after joining the enemy camp.

"My Lord, I have been in a standoff with the Orc Tribe for many years. If I really send troops to support you, I am afraid that the Orc Tribe will take advantage of the fear of the garrison and invade the Ignaz Forest."

"Don't worry about that. I only need about 3,000 reinforcements. I will then arrange for the Sword of Guardians tribe to send people to help your tribe defend the Ignaz Forest."

"I know Tiffany's strength, so there will be no problem in this case. Mr. Lord, do you want to choose someone yourself or let me help you choose."

"I can choose it myself. No need to bother you. I've already thought about it."

After Osta made the arrangements and promises, Savannah readily agreed to the request for support. Osta was still very good at selecting people. He selected more than 3,000 support troops, all of whom were female warriors, the elite troops of the Valkyrie tribe. More than 1,000 female warriors were selected from each of the gold, silver and black categories, and the number of female warriors in the three categories was roughly balanced.

After choosing the person, Savannah noticed that Osta was looking at her again, showing his interest in her. She didn't take it too seriously. After all, Savannah was not a shy girl who would easily show a shy expression because of a man's gaze. Moreover, Osta was a head shorter than Savannah. When the two stood together, they looked like a brother and sister. Naturally, the sister would not feel embarrassed in front of her brother.

"Mr. Lord, the people have been chosen. Do you have any other ideas?"

"Savanna, we still need a commander. Can I choose you?"

"Mr. Lord, I am the clan leader. This is not appropriate."

Osta took the opportunity to extend an olive branch to Savannah, and bluntly stated that the future construction of the Bloomfield Territory required the participation of the Valkyrie Tribe. Savannah had heard of Osta's deeds before, and knew that after the new lord took office, he began to unify the territory.

Now, many primitive tribes have joined, recognized Osta as the lord, and accepted his jurisdiction. Savannah has not yet recognized Osta. As a powerful Valkyrie, she is not so easy to accept a male lord to manage and control the future of her tribe.

"Savannah, are you sure you don't want to come with me? See how I command the army. Maybe you will have some new ideas then."

"Mr. Lord, you are too persistent. Fine, I can go with you to observe, but let me make it clear in advance that I am only going to observe. It is up to me to participate in the battle or not. You cannot command me."

"No problem, as long as you're there."

Osta was secretly delighted, but pretended to be calm on the surface, trying his best to hide his psychological changes. As long as Savannah went with him, it would be fine. How to trick her to come over would depend on his ability. The Valkyrie tribe was martial, and hunting was enough for daily needs. The Ignaz Forest was rich in products.

The economic card that Osta used to recruit primitive tribes before didn't work in the Valkyrie tribe. Savannah was different from Tiffany, the "Sword Soul" who had competed before, and the competition method of recruiting didn't work either. She didn't give Osta this option.

The only effective way for Osta to recruit people is to prove his character and courage to the Valkyrie clan members on the battlefield, so that he has a chance to make them surrender. Osta had this idea when selecting people.

With Chris's secret assistance and based on her prediction of combat effectiveness, the more than 3,000 female warriors selected by Osta are the strongest elites in the Valkyrie Tribe and have a pivotal position in the tribe. This foreign aid force is equivalent to the core members of the Valkyrie Tribe. As long as they recognize themselves, the Valkyrie Tribe will have no problem joining.

After the terms were agreed upon, Osta and Savanna agreed on the meeting place and time. At that time, she would bring more than 3,000 female warriors from the Valkyrie tribe. As long as they showed up, Osta would take care of the logistics and supplies. As a descendant of the goddess, Savanna would not regret what she had promised. There was no need to worry about her changing her mind at the last minute. The possibility of her breaking the contract was basically zero.

When Osta returned to his simple temporary city lord's residence, the black witch Loritana and the white witch Gonias had just helped the lord clean up the study, and all the books and documents were sorted out. Osta accidentally glanced at his desk and found a strange book with a peach-colored cover on it, with no name on the cover.

"Goneias, Loritana, what is this book?"

"My Lord, this is..."

"My Lord, you will know after reading it. It is a good book and will be of great use in the future. We still have to tidy up the kitchen, so we will take our leave now."

Gonias's face flushed, and she seemed to be about to say something, but she was interrupted by Loritana before she could finish her words. She was forcibly dragged to clean the kitchen. Osta looked at the two beautiful girls in Gothic maid costumes with a puzzled look on his face as they walked away. Then he casually opened the mysterious book and flipped through a few pages. Osta seemed to have just woken up from a dream, as if he had suddenly realized something. He quickly closed the book and looked around. Chris and the others did not come over, and they did not know what the book Osta was reading contained.

"Lord Osta, what is written in the book?"

"Nothing much, just some fun magic tricks."

Of course, Osta didn't tell the truth. The words in this book are all in Chinese, and the content recorded belongs to the R18 adult category. It was written by a senior who was keen on conquering girls and building a harem in the prehistoric civilization period, and left it for future gentlemen and fellow travelers to learn from.

The book records in detail the detailed information of beautiful girls of all races in this different world, from hobbies and interests to sensitive points and favorite sexual positions. It is a strategy guide. It was banned by other travelers in prehistoric civilization because the second half of the book contains a lot of evil erotic content, including the detailed production methods of evil erotic props and potions.

After the destruction of prehistoric civilization, the book was accidentally preserved and left in the Gemini tribe. It was discovered by the black witch Loritana and presented to Lord Osta. The gentleman paid attention to details and used special paper when writing the book, which would not be easily damaged. After so many years, the font on the book is still clearly visible, not blurred by the baptism of time, as if it is still brand new, which made Osta have to admire the gentleman's obsession.

Osta secretly kept this gentleman's book. With so many girls under his command, maybe he could use it in the future. After this episode, Osta began to think about joint military operations in the near future. According to the initiative of the eldest prince Osed, the nine princes led the armies of their own territories to meet at the designated location and then began a joint operation to attack the bandit stronghold.

The bandits are basically small fry with no combat effectiveness. They can only flee in panic when facing the regular army. What Osta is mainly wary of is the hidden arrows from his own people. The relationships between the various princes are mostly plastic (superficial) brothers, so there is a high possibility that they will take the opportunity to attack people from behind.

This is the Central Continent, not the Obelisk Empire in the Western Continent. The Emperor Augustus VIII is not present, and without the pressure of his father, it is hard to say whether the princes will give face to their eldest brother Osed. As long as he has not ascended the throne, the identity of the heir to the throne is not eternal, and the possibility of replacing him always exists.

"Chris, please notify Belus and Lianna and ask them to bring their pirate fleet to the nearby waters to wait. In case anything happens, we can move away."

"Lord Osta, even if your brothers start a quarrel, they won't dare to drag you into it."

"Just in case, I don't want to get involved in their battle for the throne. I'll just run away when the time comes. Let them fight for it on their own. It has nothing to do with me."

Chapter 63: Joint Operations Forces Assembled

The nine princes of the imperial family, the main lords sent to the Central Continent by the Obelisk Empire, responded to the initiative of the eldest prince Osed and participated in the joint military action led by him. This was to show their father, Emperor Augustus VIII, that his sons were still capable and not just going to the Central Continent to get by.

One of the initiators of this action, Baron Grisman, was the imperial envoy. Many princes participated in the event for the sake of the imperial envoy. If the imperial envoy was not there, many princes would not want to give face to their eldest brother Osed. After all, it was the eldest prince Osed who was in charge. As the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief would definitely take the lion's share of any military achievements.

The other princes were just a foil, working hard for a long time but still being treated as dowries. The princes knew it well, most of them wanted to work without putting in any effort, and didn't want to let their eldest brother take advantage of them for nothing. Working for him didn't bring much benefit. This was not the Western Continent, and whether to give face to the eldest brother depended on the princes' personal stance. The emperor was far away, and the Obelisk Empire couldn't control this place, and the emperor couldn't control such a faraway place.

According to the agreed assembly point, the princes led the armies of their own territories to arrive at the Odyssey Fortress. The Odyssey Fortress is adjacent to the Berk Port and is the largest military stronghold established by the Obelisk Empire in the Middle Continent.

The fortress has a permanent garrison of more than 100,000 well-equipped Imperial Royal Guards, which are the exclusive army of Emperor Augustus VIII. No one else has the right to dispatch them. This place was the first place where the Obelisk Empire Expeditionary Force arrived in the Central Continent, and it was the starting point of everything.

The eldest prince Osed summoned the other princes here. The decision to choose this place was made after various considerations. Only in this place would the princes feel at ease to bring people here. It would not be appropriate to choose the territory of any of the princes.
