Huo Ge's landing raised a circle of dust, and Lei Te jumped nimbly from Huo Ge's back and walked towards the caravan.

"Father, I have bought all the goods you asked me to buy. They are in the carriage at the back." Ruilai said with admiration while riding on Baige's back, "As for the team building the castle, I went to see Carlton, the president of the Dalton Chamber of Commerce, as you instructed. After hearing about it, he introduced me to a group of experienced architects.

I heard that many of the nobles’ castles in the southwest border were built by them!"

"Well, good job!" Leiter stroked his mustache and nodded, saying, "Now that everything is ready, we can move to our new territory tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, the followers behind him all showed shock on their faces.

They had not yet heard the news of the relocation of the territory, and subconsciously believed that the promotion to earl was just a matter of expanding the original borders as usual.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem to matter to them where they move to, and their lives won’t change much.

Even after calming down, I still have a vague sense of anticipation for everything in the new territory!

"Tomorrow?" A hint of surprise flashed across Ruilai's eyes. He said, "Isn't this... a little too hasty, Grand Duke Blue Diamond..."

"I've been here before. Now, I'm a legitimate earl!" Leiter interrupted before Rayleigh finished speaking, and then smiled faintly: "It's better to move the territory sooner rather than later. Besides, the place has been circled by me, near the Dark Eagle branch."

"A branch of the Dark-Striped Eagle?" The shock in Ruilai's eyes became even more intense. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

However, Leiter saw that the other party was hesitant to speak, so he waved his hand and said, "Go back first, put the things in the warehouse, and then come back to the castle with me."

"Okay, no problem!" Riley let out a breath and nodded.

Then he turned his head to look at his followers who were shocked again, and waved his hand, "Hurry back to the manor, you all heard the news that the territory will be relocated soon.

After returning, put the goods into the warehouse, and then hurry back to the room to pack up your things!"

"Yes, Master Riley!"

After returning to the manor, Rhett immediately gathered the relevant personnel and called Sveta, Tucker, and Taylors to the lobby on the fifth floor.

Rhett sat in a chair, close to the fireplace, where a roaring fire was still burning, dispelling the chill that had not yet dissipated in the early spring.

"Father, why are you calling us here?" Tucker sat on a chair, his eyes watching Mo Ge and Huo Ge playing together near the passage.

"Quiet!" Rhett shouted.

Instantly, Sveta, Tucker, and Taylors were afraid to speak.

"Huo Ge, stop making noise, or I'll throw you out." Lei Te looked at Tucker, "And take care of your Mo Ge, we'll have a meeting later, and we can't let them mess around."

"Okay!" Tucker stood up from the chair, rushed over and hugged Mog with both arms, ignoring the latter's loud chirping, and threw him out of the window directly.

Huo Ge just heard Rhett's order, and he obediently ran to the window and went out to chase Mo Ge.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

Thump thump thump

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps at the stairs, Ruilai climbed up to the fifth floor and appeared in the sight of several people.

"It seems everyone is waiting for me. Sorry, I'm late." Riley smiled slightly and sat next to Tucker, in an empty seat reserved for him.

Lei Te nodded, watched Rui Lai take his seat, and coughed twice: "Ahem, everyone is here, now let's get down to business."

Everyone looked serious, their eyes focused on Rhett alone, their pupils reflecting the blazing fire in the fireplace behind them.

Lei Te's full-bodied voice sounded again:

“Grand Duke Blue Diamond came over a couple of days ago, and I’m sure everyone knows about this.

In addition to being promoted to earl, new territories were also demarcated."

"Father, where are the new territories?" Tucker's curiosity was aroused, and his big eyes flashed brightly.

Thales was also very curious and listened attentively.

"Near the Dark Eagle Branch." Riley added.

"Huh? You just came back from a business trip, how would you know?" Tucker turned his head and scratched the back of his head.

"Well, I met my father on the way here, and he told me in person just now."

When Tucker heard this, his face suddenly became long, and he looked at Leiter with some complaints: "Father, I asked you two days ago where the scope of the new territory is, but you refused to tell me.

As soon as Ruilai comes back, you tell him, am I not his biological child?"

"Maybe you were brought from a wild wolf's mouth." Thales crossed his arms across his chest and snorted.

Tucker turned his head and glared at Taylor.

"Haha, it wasn't the right time before. If you ask me today, I would definitely tell you." Rhett smiled.

No one else took it seriously, except Tucker, who shook his head in satisfaction. That's right, he must be his father's biological son, how could he be treated worse than Riley.

"So, father, where in the Dark Eagle branch is our territory?" asked Riley.

Rhett took out a map from his arms. It was a gift from Augustus, which depicted the distribution of forces and simple terrain of the entire southwestern border.

He spread it on the table, attracting four people to watch.

"Cold Crystal Lake? Our territory is near the Cold Crystal Lake?" Thales exclaimed, his eyes fell on the artificially circled area on the map, and asked in confusion: "But why is our territory so wide and long, a bit like the eastern area surrounding the Dark Eagle Branch."

"Can you guess the reason?" Rhett smiled faintly and looked around at their faces.

Ruilai stared at a certain point on the map and said thoughtfully: "Father, you probably want to make the Dark Eagle Branch our long-term hunting ground.

Besides this, you should have other plans to develop the Dark Eagle branch, so you want to increase the contact area between your territory and the Dark Eagle branch as much as possible."

Lei Te's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he nodded and said, "Not bad! The main reason is that the area we are currently in has limited development potential, and it's flat land.

Once we get to the Dark Eagle Branch, there are a variety of terrains for us to choose from.

There are also magical beasts in the mountains for my men to hone their skills!"

Sveta and Rhett's three sons nodded in approval.

Lei Te pondered for a moment and added: "By the way, today I would like to talk about an idea that I have had for a long time.

From now on, I will establish a family tradition!"

Family tradition? Tucker, Rayleigh, and Taylor all looked curious and listened patiently.

“In order to cultivate the long-term cohesion of the family, subtly influence the unity among members and the habit of helping each other.

Lei Te's eyes swept across everyone's face, and he said calmly: "Well, you can think of it as the family style set by the head of the family."

at this time.

Sveta kept smiling as she waited at the side.

Tucker, Riley, and Taylors looked at each other. No doubt, they were somewhat puzzled and curious after hearing Rhett's instructions.

Is this a waste of time?

But after thinking about it for a while, although it was far-fetched, it did make some sense. In addition, it was not an unacceptable bad habit, so after they realized it, they nodded in agreement.

"I understand, father. I will tell Carles and Kazena when they grow up." Ruilai said.

"Me too. I'll tell Dick in a few years," Tucker said.

Thales shrugged and curled his lips, saying, "Although I will tell Abel, I am afraid that I will be the weakest one in the next few years."

After these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but laugh.

Leiter patted Thales on the head and said, "Today's events mainly focus on these two things.

But moving to the Dark Eagle branch obviously requires many things to be coordinated and balanced.

Riley, you will go and inform Henk and Eunice about the relocation."

"Got it." Riley said seriously.

Rhett looked at Tucker, pointed with his finger, and said, "You, go and inform Tadel, Coors, Shilin, Frano, Laurin, and the members at the training ground."

"Understood." Tucker patted his chest.

"What about me? Father, what should I do?" Thales pointed at himself. After a brief digestion, he felt inexplicably excited about moving the territory.

"You... will work with Henk to organize the instruments in the alchemy laboratory and seal the magic plants in the magic plant cultivation field."

The work was easy, Thales nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

“Sveta, your mission is quite complicated. You need to go to the East Eagle Logging Site and the Green Grass Ranch to inform them of the relocation of the territory.

Including the residents of the town, we should inform every household as soon as possible, and put up a notice in the central square.”

"No problem, sir. And as for the Fire Mine Village, do you need me to go over there?"

"I'll go and communicate with Vides."

"clear!"

Lei Te stood up from his chair, glanced at everyone, and said, "Then disband. Follow the tasks I just ordered and carry out them one by one."

"Yes! Father/Master."

Lei Te called Huo Ge and quickly rushed to the Fire Mine Village.

At the edge of the Fire Mine, on the high ground near the deep pit, Rhett finally found Vides.

"Rhett, how come you have time to come here today?" Vides looked at Rhett jumping off Huo Ge, put his hands on his waist, and smiled: "Where are your two orcs? When will they be sent to the mine?

It would be a shame if their abundant energy is not utilized properly and squeezed into work."

“Haha, I knew you were thinking about my two orcs!” Lei Te smiled and shook his head, then said helplessly: “But… it’s unlikely in the short term.

As you know, I was promoted to earl and will be granted new territory.

I have set it up near the Dark Eagle branch and will be moving there soon. The two orcs will also participate in the construction of the new territory."

"Oh? Relocate the territory?" Vides looked surprised, then worried, "But you chose to place it near the Dark Eagle branch. Isn't it too dangerous? Although you are a level 5 magician, the Dark Eagle branch is nothing to worry about for you, but if a high-level magical beast comes one day, what should you do?"

"It's already been decided and cannot be changed." Rhett shrugged, first describing the facts, then patted Vides on the shoulder, "Don't worry, trust me, nothing will go wrong!"

Vides stared at Rhett in a daze. His unwavering confidence made him feel at ease.

"But..." Vides opened his mouth to speak, but gave up trying to persuade him, shook his head and sighed.

"Okay, okay, you are the lord and you have the final say." Vides said helplessly: "But listen to me, be careful, I don't want you to die before me."

"Haha, it would be best if no one died!" Leiter patted Vides on the shoulder. He had the confidence! "By the way, I came here to ask you, do you plan to follow me to the Dark Eagle Branch, or stay here?" Leiter looked at Vides, thought about it, and added to avoid any misunderstanding: "I personally hope you come to the Dark Eagle Branch. We have a tacit understanding that we have developed over the years, and I am relieved!"

“I” Vides opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly fell silent, paused and said: “Let’s stay here.

This is such an important mine, and you don't have many people under you, so you are more suitable to guard it than me."

"Of course, Tadel, Kurs, Shilin..." Leiter shrugged: "I have a lot of capable subordinates."

"They are not as capable as me!" Vides said expressionlessly.

You really don't show them any mercy... Fortunately, they are not around... Lei Te was helpless: "Okay, okay, you are the best! But don't miss me when I leave. I will find time to come and see you."

"You are so narcissistic..." The corners of Vides' mouth twitched.

Then, Rhett patrolled the entire territory again.

After taking a good look at Thorn Village and Eagle Town, I returned to Deep Rock Castle.

The next day, the world was still dim.

Rhett woke up from his meditation, and as he walked through the corridors and halls and went down the stairs, he heard a series of clanging sounds.

The servants were extremely busy.

The male and female servants were carrying some light and some heavy items, including flower pots, buckets, thick tablecloths piled together, and exquisite square tables...

People were going up and down the stairs and coming and going in the hall, making the place bustling with activity, totally different from the usual early morning scene.

On this special day, the housekeeper Sveta was also very busy. He got up very early today, and before dawn, he went to the town to check on how the residents were preparing for the relocation.

After confirming that everything was correct, he returned to Deep Rock Castle and began to supervise the servants' moving.

He was wearing a black suit, standing at the end of the hall, next to a shelf, pointing forward: "Sha'er, be gentle, the flowerpot in your hand has been in Deep Rock Castle for ten years, longer than you have been here!"

"Got it, Mr. Sveta!" Shar carefully and slowly carried three stacked flower pots and walked outside.
