Magic Industrial Age

In truth, Loye's inheritance of the Flower Collar went relatively smoothly, without encountering any major setbacks.

Although he was a bastard, he possessed the Proverb Ring, the sacred artifact of the Raymond family, which represented his legitimacy!

Coupled with the support of Grand Duchess Afra Norman and the backing of three Cataclysm-level powerhouses.

With all of this, his smooth succession was only natural.

The only potential source of chaos, the conflict between magical machinery and the ruling system, was also cleverly resolved by him.

Unfortunately, what was meant to come, eventually did!

Loye never expected everything to go smoothly, nor did he believe that those enemies would easily let him off.

However, he didn't expect these people to be so brazen as to deliver such naked 'hostility' to his doorstep all at once.

If today's events weren't meticulously planned, he'd eat this study!

If he had to describe his current mood, Loye would simply say: There are always treacherous people who want to harm the朕 (zhen, Chinese for 'I,' used by emperors)!

Loye's orders were transmitted quickly, like a gale sweeping from the Lionheart Manor, directly across the city of Brussels.

And spreading outwards at the most ferocious speed!

Everyone knew that the new Earl of Raymond, the Lionheart King, would eventually experience trials and tribulations.

And Loye's first guest was none other than Imperial Ambassador Lord Robin Water.

……

Living room.

In the sofa area, Lord Robin Water put down his teacup, straightened his body, and said with a serious expression: "Earl, I heard you've encountered some trouble?"

Loye plopped down, appearing relaxed, but his aura became even more sharp: "There is some trouble, and I never expected there wouldn't be any!

"It's just that these people seem to really think I'm easy to bully!"

Saying that, he glanced sideways at the Imperial Ambassador in front of him: "Rest assured, I'll take care of things myself and will never affect cooperation with the Empire.

"So, continue with the construction and the projects that should be started."

After a pause, he added: "If the situation really becomes chaotic, then put the railway construction on hold for now, the others can avoid the war zone, so it should be fine!"

Lord Robin Water slowly shook his head and said, "Earl, you misunderstand me!"

"What do you mean?"

"I'm here not for the cooperative projects, but to ask if you need help?"

Lord Robin Water said, staring at Loye with an extremely serious look: "Help from the Empire!"

Loye's expression froze slightly, and he straightened up involuntarily, asking with some confusion: "The Empire, is willing to directly provide help?"

"Yes!"

Lord Robin Water organized his words before saying: "With you, I won't make excuses. Promoting magical machinery is the Empire's national policy, not only internally, but also externally.

"The Empire hopes to seek like-minded allies through this method, and form an alliance with the Empire at its core, capable of helping each other and making progress together."

"So, your place is considered a pilot project, and is actually valued by the Empire far more than you imagine!"

"If there is a real need, Earl can send an invitation to the Empire in the name of the family, so that there is legitimacy!

"The Empire should send a legion to enter Flower Collar by sea to help you defeat these enemies."

Loye paused and asked, "Can I understand this as a kind of compensation?"

Lord Robin Water waved his hands repeatedly: "It's not like that!"

"We are very sorry about the matter of Earl Karl Raymond, and it's not that we were unwilling to take action.

"However, it happened too suddenly, and even if the Empire had the will, it was powerless to intervene!"

"Your situation is different this time. If needed, the Empire doesn't mind showing its stance of protecting its allies."

"Of course, all of this depends on your willingness!"

Loye's breathing became a little heavy, and he leaned back on the soft sofa, his brows filled with contemplation.

However, this time did not last long, and he sat up again, looking at Lord Robin Water and said, "For now, it's still not necessary!"

"I appreciate the Empire's kindness, but in the current situation, if the Imperial Legion rashly intervenes, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing!"

"If it attracts some more powerful opponents, such as the Bonaparte Empire, that would be a big trouble."

"So, for the current stage, I'll do it myself. Anyway, they are just barking dogs."

Lord Robin Water nodded: "We have never underestimated the foundation of the millennium Earl family, so, as you wish!"

He came here to express his position.

As long as the attitude is clear, the rest is to wait for the situation to develop.

Just then, Loye suddenly grinned, smiling brightly, and asked: "Lord Robin, I'm actually very curious, to what extent can the Empire do for me?"

"That depends on what you want to achieve!"

"For example, the Empire has ironclad ships, would you be willing to have them run over to my side, how about it?"

"Anything else?"

"For another example, can the Empire withstand the accusations from the Church of the Sun God?"

"This, isn't that a bit too much?"

"What if I don't mind the Seven Gods Church entering my territory?"

"That's another way of saying it, I think the archbishops of the Seven Gods Church are willing to open up a new battlefield…"

One hour, a full hour, Loye and Lord Robin Water had an in-depth and frank communication.

Lord Robin Water stated the Empire's attitude,

While Loye made it clear what price he could pay. The two sides communicated, and although nothing seemed to be settled, they both knew each other's bottom line.

Knowing the bottom line, many things have room for maneuver!

An hour later,

Butler Hoover walked to Loye's side and whispered, "People have almost arrived!"

"Then complete the mobilization first!"

Saying that, Loye bid farewell to Lord Robin Water, and led Oliveira, striding towards the conference hall.

……

Still that cold corridor,

Still that dim hall,

Still the flickering candlelight.

Still the crowd moving!

The difference was that this time, Loye didn't give everyone a chance to speak.

The latest novels are first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

He stood behind that dark long table, pressing his hands on the table, his whole body leaning forward.

Although his appearance was young, the surging pressure had already spread around.

"You should already know the news."

"To the west of the territory, above the endless Silver Sea, for who knows how many years, those pirates have not dared to face the majesty of the Lionheart King."

"Of course, this was not innate.

Rather, in the past decades, countless knights bravely stepped forward, using their swords and their corpses to teach them humility."

"But this time, they actually dared to enter our territory after I inherited the title, killing our people and plundering our wealth…"

"I only ask one question, can you endure it?"

"Endure their stench and decay, endure their overbearing behavior, endure their plundering of our wealth!

Tell me, can you endure it?"

At the end of his words, Loye roared, like a roaring lion, and his words completely ignited the anger of the crowd.

Almost in unison, the voices blurted out: "No! No! No!"

The problem of pirates has never been a problem for one person.

Loye's cheap father, Karl Raymond, when he first took office, was also plagued by pirates!

At that time, Karl Raymond launched a counterattack against the pirates, and one knight after another was sent to the sea by him.

Their fight with the pirates lasted for several years, until all the pirates chose to kneel and surrender, and turned around and fled when they saw the Lionheart flag.

And the knights in front of them were almost all grown up in that stage.

They have a natural contempt and killing intent towards pirates.

They are really willing to exterminate all the pirates!

"If so, this time, we will bury all the pirates on land and sea!"

Loye changed his tone and said: "But things are not over, to the east of the Flower Collar, where it borders the Wick family.

Frost Moon Canyon has been the territory of our Raymond family since ancient times, but this time, the Wick family has once again provoked a war against us."

"They want to take advantage of the weakening of Flower Collar to grab our territory!"

"They think that I, the new Lionheart King, am weak and can be bullied!"

"But they are wrong, terribly wrong!"

"I have the most powerful knights, the most loyal subordinates, the sharpest swords, and the strongest shields."

"I have the assistance of the lion pack, I am the invincible Lionheart King!"

"So, my knights, let us chop off the heads of these bastards, and add glory to the Lionheart King with blood and corpses."

"Are you willing?"

"Willing! Willing! Willing!"

"If so, go and prepare, prepare your war horses, sharpen your swords, and I will lead you to victory!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

At this moment, killing intent boiled, even making the entire manor tremble!

And Loye's last words before leaving made all the knights excited.

"This is my first battle since I took office, so the Raymond family will bear all the logistics and supplies!"

"In other words, you only need to pursue military merit!"

"Don't let me down!"

Last month, a total of 2220 monthly tickets, I can't bear so much.

That is to say, I still owe 11 chapters, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it.

I can only say, pay it back slowly, really slowly!

Also, there's nothing today, start paying it back tomorrow…
