People like Barry, Charles and Anasta already have gray hair at this time, and the only reason they are still here is because of the Tree of Life.
It’s just that they are old enough to take a break, so most of them have retreated to the second line.
Charles's position was taken over by his son. When Charles Jr. handed the list to his father, Charles Sr. smiled particularly happily when he saw what was written on it about materials such as gold.
"Look at this! The Griffin family is so ruthless that they have dug up the roots of George and the Hill family in one fell swoop."
"It's better to dig it up. We have to wait until they do whatever they want and muddy the water before we can take action." It's a pity that it's too late now, Anasta, who has white hair but is well-dressed, sighed.
"It's not too late, it's not too late. Good things are never too late. Now that Madam has given the task, let's get started!" He returned the list to his son and nodded, signaling him to go and do it.
The cast gold nuggets were placed in special boxes. The gold and some rare magic metals were all recorded on the list.
After both parties had counted and confirmed that there were no issues and signed, the gold and magic metals were sealed in boxes and moved into the carriage.
Standing on the balcony and watching the carriages running towards the train station, Avril said to the people who had been waiting in her office.
"Notify them! The plan can be implemented!"
"Yes, lady! We have been waiting for this day for a long time!" After that, everyone walked out of the office laughing.
The Magic Butterfly Cars of Maple Leaf Territory are usually only used by the Star Clan, or only when dealing with emergencies. Today, five Magic Butterfly Cars went out at once.
Two of them went to the orthodox camp represented by Cameron, two went to the opposition camp represented by Edward, and the last one went to the grassland.
"What did you say?" With a roar from the head of the George family, he overturned the coffee table in front of him.
"Lord Duke George, we are here to inform you in advance that the things you pledged as collateral for your loan in Maple Leaf Territory have been taken away."
"According to the contract we signed previously, we hope that you can provide new collateral within thirty days, otherwise we may recall the loan given to you!" This time, the manager of Maple Leaf Bank came with him.
"Impossible! Why would I take the collateral away for no reason? Did you make a mistake?" Alfred asked in confusion.
"Your Excellency the Duke, please do not question our ability to do our job!" As he said this, he handed the pick-up document to Duke George.
"This is printed with your family seal and your personal signature, and the person who came to pick up the goods this time is your butler." The manager took George's hand back just as it was about to touch the receipt.
"Sir, please respond in a timely manner according to the agreement!" After saying this, he said goodbye to his men.
The same thing happened in the Hill family. Duke Hill angrily kicked out the manager of Maple Leaf.
Then he began to look for his butler frantically. Just like what the manager said, Maple Leaf Leader had no need and no desire to covet their things.
Some things soon became clear after careful consideration. The two angry dukes took up their knives and planned to kill the butler's entire family, but they found that the whole family had run away.
As for the Griffin family and the Leicester family, what they were looking for was not the goods but their previous loans.
Facing the furious Griffin, the manager said respectfully, "Lord Duke Griffin, please don't embarrass us servants."
"This decision was made with the approval of the higher-ups, and I just told you the reason for the early repayment of the loan. If you feel there is anything wrong with it, please go and talk to the madam!"
"We'll take our leave first!" After saying that, he hurriedly ran away with his men.
"You three bitches dare to play these tricks on me. If you had a way to deal with Lin, you would have died a thousand times!" Owen's inner anger naturally would not erupt on the Maple Leaf side.
Just like he was wary of Lin, the strength of Maple Leaf Territory was no longer something they could easily shake.
"Send someone to notify and send the pledged items from Maple Leaf Territory back to Maple Leaf Territory as collateral. We can't let chaos reign here for now. As long as we defeat Cameron, we will have plenty of ways to deal with them." Owen met with Lester and Edward. In the end, everyone could only succumb to reality. After all, they urgently needed the supplies from Maple Leaf Territory.
Although both sides believed that Maple Leaf Leader played an ignominious role in this, as a part of the logistical support for both sides, they could not turn against him for fear of pushing Maple Leaf Leader to the other side.
With this kind of thinking, the materials in Maple Leaf Territory became more and more expensive. Since they couldn't provide the necessary things as collateral, they would use the land as compensation.
A large piece of land was removed from the map and included in the scope of Maple Leaf Territory. As the exclusive provider, Maple Leaf Territory's appetite grew.
After this method of cutting meat with a blunt knife continued for several times, both sides looked at the map and realized that the land obtained by Maple Leaf Territory was already very large.
In the end, it was the Cameron brothers who, through a series of means, brought the two sides to the negotiating table again.
The target this time was very clear, which was Maple Leaf Leader. After everyone continued to come up with new information and data, the role played by Maple Leaf Leader was soon defined.
Both Cameron and Edward were very angry, and the other four dukes were also furious. In the end, both sides swore an oath not to hinder each other before overthrowing the Maple Leaf Territory.
The army turned around and headed straight for Maple Leaf Territory. Maple Leaf Territory had already been prepared for this kind of thing.
The army led by Albert blocked Kurma's army head-on. Although Kurma's army had been fighting continuously in recent years and had accumulated many veterans.
However, the army of Maple Leaf Territory has more systematic and complete armaments. In the early stage, Maple Leaf Territory focused on defense, and began to advance slowly after the soldiers became familiar with the rhythm of the war.
On the grassland side, Danny began to gather his men when he received the letter from Maple Leaf Territory.
As the king of the grassland, he has great autonomy, but these rights also come with some irresistible conditions.
Sending troops to help Maple Leaf Territory fight the enemy was one of them. Danny didn't think there was anything wrong with this. As long as Maple Leaf Territory completed the unification of the empire, it would be of great benefit to him.
