In the Western Region, this is almost a place where it is clearly stated that strength is the first priority for having power. Only those who have strength will be truly respected and attract the attention of others.

Green has always had good talent. After leaving the academy, he successfully advanced to the third level in less than a year.

But even if the Green family has already decided that he will be the heir to the title of Grand Duke Green in the future, the title of Chosen One that his father currently possesses will naturally be inherited by him.

That is only a matter of the future. Right now, before those titles and authorities are imposed on him, he is still a third-level person.

A person with a great reputation behind him, but without the third level to support it.

So during this year, Green learned how to restrain and hide his dissatisfaction. After seeing some things in places beyond his influence, he also learned to help in a more tactful way.

After all, not everyone in this world can be free and have countless lives to do whatever they want.

But Green's integrity, honesty and loyalty have never changed.

"This place is beautiful and clean, but after I came to this city, I did see some things. Uncle, maybe you can try to restrain the Stuart family, prohibit extravagance and waste, reduce taxes on farmers and workers, and strictly investigate internal corruption. Then Xinlan will definitely become the most shining city in the Western Region in the future."

Grand Duke Stuart had always been accustomed to speaking politely, but when he realized that Greene really took his politeness seriously and actually lectured him in this way, he fell silent.

He silently looked at the young man who had become famous in the West District in recent times, and did not speak for a long time.

Green did not avoid the Grand Duke's gaze. Although his advice was a bit inappropriate, it was not considered rude.

No matter how much he knows about others through other means, Green always tries to think positively of others when he meets them for the first time.

So he would speak out such advice bluntly. He expressed his own ideas and put forward his own suggestions. As for whether the other party was willing to listen, it was obvious that Archduke Stuart was very disgusted with what Green said. He was so disgusted that he didn't even bother to say further greetings and warm-up words.

He withdrew his gaze from Green, and the smile on his face faded. He cut the steak on the plate with the knife and fork in his hand with a cold expression, while speaking.

"Thank you for your wise advice, but I think we should not waste time and talk about something more meaningful. How many of you have already agreed?"

Green was not surprised by the change in attitude of Archduke Stuart. He did not say anything else and went straight to the point.

"Eight grand dukes have decided to form the West District Alliance, and 12 more grand dukes plan to join. 31 cities have responded. We have seen Green Sun's ambitions, uncle. Those people have been taking frequent actions recently. They have planned many things in the East District. Now that there is such chaos in the central government, they will certainly not miss such an opportunity. Five dukes of Suiye, Zijin, and Hongfeng have been attacked to varying degrees. Three are missing and one is dead."

After listening to Green's urgent speech, Grand Duke Stuart just ate the cut steak with a fork in one hand and tapped the table with his fingers in the other hand.

"The 20 Chosen Ones only have so much authority in total. How many authorities does Green Day have? The alliance you have formed now is already strong enough to deal with them."

Green heard the hidden meaning of Archduke Stuart's words, and he explained seriously with a serious expression.

"But the cities in the West are scattered, and each duke is alone in a city, while the Green Day guys are not fighting alone. Now they are gathering power. If we don't form an alliance and gather all the power together, sooner or later they will break through one by one, become stronger and stronger, and eventually surpass us."

Grand Duke Stuart shook his head, as if he disagreed with Green's statement.

"Although you are the heir, you have not inherited your father's title and rules, so it is normal that you don't understand some things. The Chosen One is not as simple as you think. It is even more difficult to kill a Chosen One. Even if all the people of Green Day come together, they may not be able to do it. I will not comment on the dead duke, but I am sure that the missing ones were not captured."

Green said calmly.

"Of course my father and his men are also suspicious. They have been bewitched by Green Day and abandoned their own subjects and took the initiative to join them. But this proves something more, uncle. Those people have been rooted in the West District for many years. They have made more preparations and have deeply infiltrated every piece of land here. Now no one can help us. The central government is busy with internal strife. We can only help ourselves. Don't you agree?"

Archduke Stuart did not comment on this, he just said it lightly.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"It's not necessary for a junior like you to teach me such a truth, but I don't think things have developed to that point yet. Besides, the West District is under the rule of the central government. We are all under the same power. Isn't it redundant to form a so-called alliance?"

"If my father heard what you said, he would definitely be shocked. It is hard to imagine that anyone from the Stuart family would recognize the central government's rule." Green's words sounded like sarcasm, but his tone was sincere, and he sounded as if he was really surprised by this matter.

Archduke Stuart simply raised his eyebrows and did not respond.

The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment. Green had not eaten a single bite from beginning to end. Until now, he was just quietly looking at the Duke who ruled this city. Suddenly, he asked.

"Excuse me, uncle, can you answer me truthfully, have you contacted the people from Green Day and agreed to join them?"
