As the news of Alvis merging the Emerald Kingdom into the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom spread like wildfire, the entire camp seemed to have been dropped with a heavy bomb, and instantly fell into extreme chaos once again.
Just as Orchi had reported to Krober before, most of the knights and soldiers in the camp expressed firm support for this matter.
After all, Krober is a legendary figure who has always been at the forefront of chivalry!
His unparalleled strength and outstanding leadership skills have earned him the admiration of countless people.
For these knights, it is undoubtedly a great thing to have such an extremely powerful person as their immediate superior to provide them with solid protection.
Therefore, they all expressed their willingness to follow Krober and integrate into the more powerful sphere of influence of the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom.
However, in sharp contrast are those who always maintain an opposing stance.
Most of them are loyal supporters of the king and some of his direct subordinates.
These vested interests are worried that their original status and power will be affected, so they strongly resist the merger.
At this moment, in a spacious and bright laboratory, the atmosphere was particularly solemn.
A female dragon knight in military uniform stood quietly on one side, her posture upright and her expression serious.
She frowned slightly, staring at Ashadron who was in deep thought in front of her, and asked:
"Lord Ashardron, Alvis has officially announced its incorporation into the Amethyst Ocean Kingdom. Faced with this situation, how should we respond?"
Ashadron ignored it and continued to concentrate on processing the experimental materials at hand.
After a moment of silence, the female dragon knight continued:
"Sir, the current situation is indeed not optimistic."
"You know, we are now the most powerful country besides the Amethyst Ocean Flow Kingdom."
"Because of this, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us right now, eager to see what actions we will take next..."
"If it weren't for your usual prestige, I'm afraid those vassal principalities around us would have been in turmoil."
It has to be said that the Kingdom of Citrine Jade Crown under the rule of Ashadron is the country with the largest number of subordinate principalities in the entire continent.
At this moment, the anxious female dragon knight was anxiously reporting the situation.
After a long wait, Ashadron finally finished all the complicated matters at hand.
She just waved her hand nonchalantly and said:
"Don't worry about these trivial matters. I have already made everything clear to them at the beginning."
"I require them to pay resources on time once a year. As long as they pay the resources once, I will grant them a full year of protection."
At this point, Ashadron's expression remained unchanged, seemingly unmoved, and he said:
"Now they want to join Krober. This is entirely their own decision. What does it have to do with us?"
After saying this, she gracefully took off the gloves on her hands.
Coincidentally, it was Kroeber who suggested the idea of wearing gloves.
Although Ashadlon had only a vague understanding of things like bacteria and viruses, after personal practice she found that wearing gloves to handle various materials did make her feel more comfortable.
At least, the disgusting sticky feeling and shocking bloody scenes of the past can be effectively avoided.
"Then... sir, let's..."
Ashadron looked at the female dragon knight, his eyes revealing a hint of dependence and trust.
This female dragon knight is called Jacqueline. She is the person she relies on the most and has always been in charge of her guards.
When it comes to combat effectiveness, she personally trained them, so they are definitely powerful.
But when it comes to IQ, it's a little bit insufficient. Sometimes her brain is just so stubborn that she can't think of anything else.
Ashadron shook his head gently, a helpless yet doting smile appeared on his face, and then he stretched out his jade hand, gently knocked on Jacqueline's head, and said angrily:
"You're really stupid! I've already turned a blind eye to the affairs of those people below me. Isn't this enough to show my attitude?"
After saying this, she looked at the naive captain of the guard in front of her with both anger and amusement.
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
"Ah? So what you mean? We also..."
Although Jacqueline's brain was not very good, she had served Ashadelon for many years. Although she did not understand politics, she could guess what was in her master's mind.
"What else? I've been spending every day in the lab lately, working for him, haven't I?"
"Otherwise, do you think I just like it? I like doing experiments simply because it can help me on my path as a magician."
"Take a look at my recent research: the application of the power of faith and divine power, the body structure of the Mind Flayer mother, and the application of psychic power."
"These things, can they be of any help to me?"
"First, I'm not a god, so I can't use the power of faith or divine strength. Secondly, I'm almost reaching the next level of magic. Do I still need to develop a power system that I've never used before?"
Ashadlon's words were like enlightenment, and Jacqueline, whose mind was originally a little confused and her thinking was not very clear, suddenly understood.
Her eyes lit up and she said thoughtfully:
"Then I understand, sir. In that case, do you think we should spread the news of the impending merger between the Citrine Jade Crown Kingdom and the Amethyst Ocean Flow Kingdom? This will surely cause quite a stir."
Hearing Jacqueline's question, Ashadron waved his hand gently, with an unfathomable smile on his face.
She slowly said:
“There’s no need to do that just yet.”
"You know, surrender is not something you can just casually decide. There are many ways involved."
She paused, then explained:
"If we go over here empty-handed and surrender now, the benefits we can gain will be pitifully small."
"Besides, our status in Krober's heart won't be very high."
"However, if we can patiently wait for a while, wait for the situation to develop and ferment further, and then bring a generous gift with us, then we will be able to maximize our benefits."
After hearing this, Jacqueline nodded repeatedly and was deeply impressed by Ashadlon's strategy.
She knew very well that the wisdom and vision of this adult were far beyond her own reach, so she had long developed the habit of carrying out the methods that the adult told her.
Other than that, she never thought much about it.
