"Now that everyone is here, let me tell you the news I got recently." Morozova said slowly - "First of all, our intelligence network has been completely destroyed."

"No one who infiltrated Kamsk survived. All of them have lost contact."

"impossible!"

"How can this be?!"

"Are you sure they are all dead?!"

The nobles below immediately exclaimed.

Thanks to Morozova's efforts, the nobles of these fourteen cities formed a group on the surface. These infiltration forces were not the work of one person, but the result of the joint efforts of fourteen mobile cities.

Even under Morozova's urging, some people even used their own trump cards.

Logically speaking, this infiltration should be seamless...

And they were clearly still passing on information before. Otherwise, the content in the joint letter would not be so detailed.

But why is it suddenly gone now?

"We have no way of knowing the specific news because no one has passed it on," Morozova said, "but I bribed a caravan that left the city during that time. I got some news from them..."

"Luo Chen, the mayor of Kamsko, carried out a brutal massacre at the makeshift camp outside the city that day."

"This time point is exactly the time when our infiltrator lost contact."

"Luo Chen..." When this name was mentioned, all the nobles below fell silent.

As for Luo Chen's existence, these nobles first didn't care, then they gloated over his misfortune, hoping that he would be suddenly eliminated, and finally it has come to this moment -

fear!

They now have only one feeling towards the name Luo Chen.

That's fear!

Is the Sixth Army powerful?

Of course it was powerful, this was the regular army of Ursus, one of the pillars of the old nobility.

But after Luo Chen appeared, he collapsed inexplicably.

Is Count Naik powerful?

Of course he is powerful, his city is the economic and commercial hub of western Ursus. He has abundant funds and is decisive.

But it was such a person who was beheaded by Luo Chen in front of the citizens like a dead dog.

These nobles really began to fear Luo Chen.

The Sixth Army could not stop him, and neither could Count Naick.

No one wants to be the other's next target.

Although everyone believed that Luo Chen would eventually die, no one wanted to be bitten by this dying mad dog.

That can kill people!

This is the reason why these nobles who originally had conflicts with each other can cooperate. There is no other way... the external pressure is too great.

"Why didn't he clean it up before and suddenly show up now?"

"Who knows, normal people can't understand the thinking of this madman..."

"What do we do now?"

Looking at the nobles in chaos, Morozova shook her head.

She knocked on the table to calm the chaos.

"There is only one way for us to survive the threat of Kamsk - unity."

In her unique voice, she said, “The solidarity here is not only economic, but more importantly military.”

"In other words, if we want to defeat Kamsk, we must unite militarily. Only militarily can we have the possibility of defeating them."

“.....” The scene fell silent.

After a while, someone spoke tentatively - "Madam, do you mean... that we hand over the military power to you?"

"You can think so."

“Wow——” As soon as she finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

These nobles were more astute than each other, and they knew very well that all the wealth, power, and majesty on this land came from only one source.

That is power.

To divide up military power is to divide up one's essential strength.

They are very concerned about this matter.

"If we want to defeat this terrible enemy Kamsko, the only way is to unite our forces." Morozova said coldly with an expressionless face.

"Is there no other way?" someone asked.

"Look at what's in front of you," Morozova said. "What do you see? Coffee? Sugar cubes?"

"You can guess where these sugar cubes come from."

"Won't...."

The nobles looked at each other.

"It's Kamsko..."

"Yes, this is Kamsk's candy," Morozova said directly.

"Ah?" Everyone was shocked.

As the leader of the "Union of Nobles Against Kamsk", Morozova actually admitted that she was aiding the enemy?

"Don't look at me like that." Morozova sneered, "Kamsky's candy is sweet and cheap. Let's not talk about me. Have you never used it?"

"At least now, on the surface, our trade with Kamsco is continuing."

"In this trade, sugar is the biggest player, accounting for one-third of the market share."

"Whatever Kamsko does, it's making money from us. And if it goes on like this, we're the ones being exploited."

"The wealth of all of you is actually slipping away quietly now."

"Admit it. We can't compete with Kamsico in business."

"And what about politics?"

"The emperor is still protecting Luo Chen, and the debate in Saint Jun Castle has not yet come to a conclusion."

"No, still not."

"So how do you plan to fight Kamsiko? Military, only military."

Morozova's eyes swept over all the nobles in the audience, "I believe that you all have strong foundations in this area."

"Don't worry, I'm not a rude person. You can choose the level of support you want to provide."

"You can just provide the troops, or just provide the weapons. In any case, all of this will become the strength of our combined forces."

"Everyone....what do you choose?"

All the nobles were silent.

They start thinking, their brains start working.

It's a choice, one that could affect their future.

Be careful, be careful!

However, just when everyone was silent, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

A figure suddenly appeared and walked quickly to Morozova's side. He whispered something in the noble lady's ear.

"Very good!" Morozova clenched her fists and her eyes lit up.

"Everyone!" She stood up and interrupted the nobles' thoughts. "I just received a message. An important message."

"Kamsky took the initiative to start a civil war!"

"what?!"

"Oh my God!"

"These lunatics!"

The reactions of the nobles below the stage were unanimous, all with expressions of shock.

"Everyone, it seems that we have to make a choice now." Morozova said, "They took the initiative to attack... I believe everyone still remembers the tragic plight of Count Naik."

"If you don't want to be like him... then -"

"Madam!" A noble shouted, "Which direction is Kamsko's main attack going to?"

These words hit the point that all the nobles were most concerned about at the moment.

If Kamsko chose to attack their territory, they had to hurry back. It would be better to pack up and run away or to defend the city than to stay here.

"Kamsky...divide the troops into three groups. Start attacking from three directions respectively." Morozova paused and said.

"Divide the troops into three groups?"

"What does it mean?"

"So who did they hit first?"

The nobles below were even more confused. After all, in Ursus, only a few nobles had brains. Most of those who held high positions relied on their bloodline, not their abilities.

"....." Morozova sighed silently, and then asked her men to bring a map.

"Everyone, please pay attention. This is Kamsko..."

"According to our investigation, its army is divided into three parts, advancing towards the three nearest cities respectively."

With a clear image, the nobles below calmed down.

The nobles attacked by Kamsko turned pale, while the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"Everyone, this is an opportunity," Morozova said, "We must form a coalition!"

"Kamsky is courting his own demise," she said loudly. "Split into three groups... Each of them must be weak. If we unite our forces, we will be able to defeat them easily."

"Even if we don't fight them, we can attack the empty Kamsk..."

She had a confident smile on her face.

In her opinion, Kamsko's actions were simply courting death.

Originally, Kamsiko should have held the initiative, but now that the other side has started a civil war, the initiative is in their hands.

Not to mention that the other side was stupid enough to proactively divide its forces.

Just as she said, once Kamsiko divided his troops, they would not have enough troops for each route.

If they join forces, they can definitely defeat Kamsiko one by one.

She expressed her thoughts, and the nobles below were not all fools. They also realized that this was an opportunity.

At this moment, Morozova threw out another big news-

"Everyone, our goal is the same, to eliminate Kamsiko and kill that lunatic Luo Chen."

"This is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy. As long as we unite our forces, we will surely win!"

"After Kamsko fails, how will its legacy be inherited? You know, just this technology of mass-producing sugar is enough for us to earn unimaginable wealth."

Morozova smiled slightly, "Everyone... I think that the share of Kamsk after its demise should be based on our current contributions!"

..........

The western part of Ursus was in chaos.

And what is the nominal master of this country doing?

Emperor of Ursus, Fyodor is reading a newspaper.
