The carriage that Luke and Sink arrived in drove directly into the hall of Silver Manor. The guards immediately closed the door, the windows had long been sealed, and the surroundings were surrounded by swaying magic barriers.

If it weren't for the red carpet outside the opened car door and the welcoming servants lined up, Luke would have thought that the eldest prince Fania was going to close the door and fight..., catching something in the jar...

At the other end of the red carpet, Fania was dressed in a ceremonial dress, waiting for the distinguished guests with a majestic smile.

Luke and Xin Kelai got out of the car one after another. Xin Kelai, who saw this scene, was very sensible and one step behind Luke. He knew that his father would never greet him with such a standard.

To be able to receive such a ceremonious courtesy from the eldest prince of the empire, another person would definitely bow down and swear allegiance.

Luke walked across the red carpet and came to the eldest prince Fania, and gave him the greetings from a subject to the royal family: "Good day, eldest prince. The meteorite was invited to come. I am flattered to receive such a grand welcome. I hope

Didn't cause you any trouble."

Fania patted Luke's shoulders with both hands, quite forcefully.

"You have a very strong body and amazing intelligence... If you join the army, you will definitely become an invincible general. Now that the empire is facing many wars, it is a great time to build great achievements."

The eldest prince had a certain assessment of Luke's military power. He expressed his favor for the meteor and hoped that he would join the southern front war.

Faced with Fania's blatant poaching, Luke said tactfully: "I'm already very busy with the trivial matters in Raging Waves City, and the tasks assigned by the Secret Service headquarters are also very heavy. I really don't have the energy.

I will join the army again and thank the eldest prince for his appreciation of me."

Fania was not dissatisfied. He had never thought that Meteor would surrender so easily.

This meeting is for both parties to explore the situation and discuss conditions.

Fania pulled Luke towards the prepared room, speaking kind words along the way and praising him for what he did in Raging Waves City.

"Almost every day now, people tell me that the economic vitality displayed by Raging Waves City is much better than that of Grover's time. Opportunities are everywhere in Raging Waves City, and wealth is everywhere... I already know that there are several Lords

, to go to Nutao City to open a factory and gradually transfer the production capacity of the factory in the Imperial Capital there.

At the cabinet meeting, Chief Minister Gabriel also mentioned an intention...that is, to merge the five towns around Raging Waves City into Raging Waves City, and then move the population to Raging Waves City, doubling the size of Raging Waves City."

Entering the room, the two of them sat down separately. Luke asked curiously: "Master Chief Assistant, did you really mention this intention?"

Fania waved everyone to go out, including Xin Kelai. After the door was closed, she said to Luke: "I didn't expect it! But it was just an intention, far from being submitted to my father.

Even if I don't tell you, this news will reach you soon, and Gabriel wants to negotiate terms with you."

Luke is very interested in this topic.

Currently, the only things that limit the development of Nutao City are land and population, especially land. When the existing idle land is developed, urban development will reach a bottleneck, and land expansion must be prepared for a rainy day.

As for Gabriel wanting to negotiate with himself on this issue, let's talk about it.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for informing me of this matter. The next economic growth of Raging Wave City requires more land. This intention proposed by Chief Gabriel is a great thing that is beneficial to the empire.

I think your highness will definitely support it."

Fania laughed and said: "Whether it is a good thing or not still needs to be discussed by many parties. And I am not a cabinet minister, and Agatha's opinion has more weight than mine.

By the way... Governor Meteor, you are coming to my place, Agatha probably doesn't know."

"she does not know."

Fania asked again: "Judging from your behavior in Raging Wave City and after coming to the Imperial Capital, you shouldn't hide this big thing like your coming to Silver Manor from her."

Luke leaned back on the back of the chair, with a melancholy expression on his face.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has the talents of an emperor, and I am determined to help her become the first empress of the empire. But this time she did not listen to my dissuasion and insisted on forming an alliance with His Royal Highness the Second Prince, which makes me worry about the future."

Fania asked: "My father has entrusted me with the war on the southern front, and many ministers in the palace have surrendered to me. I am almost sitting on the throne of the crown prince. Alec and Agatha want to check and balance me, so joining forces is not a good idea."

The best way?"

Luke looked at this room. It was tall and grand, with large murals telling heroic stories from the founding period of the empire. The crystal chandeliers illuminated the room softly, and the air was filled with luxurious magic spices.

Fania saw Meteor's worry and said: "Don't worry, there are only you and me in this room, no one can hear a word we talk."

Luke then said: "The eldest prince should know that His Majesty is very concerned about life-extending experiments recently. For the war arrangements on the southern front, he does not favor you, but has to use you.

You should know what I mean."

No one dared to say such words to Fania, so when Fania heard these words from the meteorite, she was suddenly enlightened!

As the eldest prince, Fania insisted on not marrying a new wife after his wife died for so many years, just to win over the Qiao Shuer family, which has a very strong influence in the military.

In this battle against the Celtic Archduke's Tedga Hills, the Northern Legion in the north mobilized troops to fight on the southern front, which further increased the military power controlled by Fania.

If Emperor Augustine only wanted to choose the crown prince, then this was obviously biased towards the eldest prince. But Emperor Augustine still wants to live for another five hundred years, and it is not a good thing if you have so many troops in your hands.

Fania felt a chill on his neck, and he asked Luke: "Did you also say these words to Agatha?"

"Said... I told her that it's best to do nothing at this time to reduce His Majesty's attention. No matter whether the war on the southern front goes well or not, it will be a waste of His Majesty's evaluation of the eldest prince.

Moreover, the two princes did not go to the front lines after receiving the appointment, but stayed in the imperial capital, as if waiting for His Majesty to die. What will this make His Majesty, who is still thinking about extending his life, think?"

Fania felt like her neck was being tightened and she felt a little suffocated.

If the meteor hadn't woken me up today, I wouldn't have known how I died.

"You analyzed it so thoroughly, why didn't Agatha listen to you?"

"Because she thinks this is trying her luck... She will join forces with the second prince and persuade him to go to the Western Front to cultivate an army loyal to him.

If you, the eldest prince, discover the inside story and choose to go to the southern route, then no one in the imperial capital will compete with her. Once there is a change in the palace, neither you nor the second prince will be able to come back.

And even if you still insist on staying in the imperial capital, you will only be subject to His Majesty's suspicion..."

"Agatha has become more and more vicious since she took over the Secret Service!" The eldest prince, who knew Agatha's strategy, couldn't help but cursed angrily, and then asked Luke: "Don't you support her doing this?"

"Of course I don't support it!" Luke said firmly: "Her Royal Highness the Princess only cares about the throne, but she doesn't care about the consequences of doing so.

If there is a change in the palace, she can proclaim herself the emperor of the empire, but both princes have armies outside. The empires are divided into three parts and fight against each other. The hereditary nobles will definitely counterattack, and enemy countries will also take the opportunity to invade.

I have tested out that my development concept is correct in Raging Wave City, and I want to promote it throughout the empire. I want to assist a Ming Lord, create an unprecedented prosperous age, and open up a large territory for the empire.

Instead of wasting the rest of your life fighting a civil war!"

The more Luke talked, the more excited he became, as if he had a million strategies for governing the country and had nowhere to use them.

Fania was also very excited.

The unparalleled warriors of ancient times were nothing more than this!

Fania grabbed Luke's hand across the table and looked at him affectionately: "I have spent the first half of my life preparing for the empire you envisioned. Come and help me, and we will become the most shining emperor of this era. And the chief assistant!"

Luke pulled his hand back.

"Your Highness, I am not here this time to submit my orders."

Fania was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "I understand, I am impatient. Being able to hear your true voice is my biggest gain this time. My door here will always be open to you."

"Thank you for Your Highness's consideration. I don't want to let down the eldest princess. I hope that after Your Highness ascends the throne, you can forgive her for the mistakes she has made."

Fania thought of the rumors related to the meteor and Agatha, and said with a smile: "Agatha should not covet the throne, and her talents in other aspects are the capable ministers the empire needs. Don't worry, as long as Agatha When Shah admits her mistake to me, I will definitely forgive her."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"And if you want me to forgive her, you must serve me even if you are not loyal to me. How should I break the trap Agatha has set for me."

Luke replied: "The trap laid by Her Royal Highness the Princess is very clever and cannot be completely broken. My suggestion is... to launch several large-scale main force duels in the Tedega Hills, while causing large-scale casualties to the enemy and ourselves, The battle line remains neither advancing nor retreating.

The loss of the elite of the northern army will reduce His Majesty's suspicion. The stalemate in the war will increase His Majesty's dependence on you. In this way, your Majesty will be patient even if you stay in the imperial capital. Even if you feel uncomfortable, as long as there is no big victory on the southern front. Or be defeated, Your Highness, you will be safe."

Fania nodded.

Using the elite of the Northern Army to fight hard means that he is not greedy for military power. There is no decent result in fighting hard, which means that the army of the Celtic Archduke is indeed very strong. As long as the southern front remains unbeaten and has a big fight from time to time, the empire will We will not change our southern route strategy easily.

Even if his father knew that he was waiting for him to die, he would still endure it for the sake of the overall situation.

"It seems that we can only delay time and wait for the great changes in the palace. I will write to General Qiao Xiuer immediately and inform him of the situation here."

Fania and Qiao Xiuer began to formulate a strategy for the southern front, which was to use the original garrison on the southern front to consume the barbarian army, while the elite of the northern army waited for the opportunity to pick peaches and win a few beautiful victories. They used continuous good news to consolidate their position in the palace. influence and improve his father's rating of himself.

By the way, you can also recruit your own people into the lost Southern Front garrison.

Now it seems that this is actually a loss of points. The better the Northern Army on the southern front fights, the more dangerous it is for me. If I swallow up the garrison on the southern front again, I am still waiting for my father to die in the imperial capital... I am really looking for death.

Out of fear of Emperor Augustine, Fania changed the war strategy on the southern front. Instead of taking the opportunity to expand military power, Fania wanted to reduce part of its own military strength.

Luke's purpose of coming to the Silver Avenue has been mostly completed, and the only thing left is to talk about joining forces to eliminate the Abyss Mage in the Imperial Capital.

At this time, Fania already trusted Luke to help her get out of a potential crisis. Naturally, she also believed that Luke wanted to eliminate another crisis for her future wise king and kill the assassin who attacked Princess Del.

I just happened to take advantage of this good opportunity to silence some people forever. It was normal for me to surround and suppress the Abyss Master and kill some people.

After everything was settled, Fania, who received help from the meteor, felt that she was infinitely close to the throne.

"Don't worry, Governor, I will definitely use my influence in the court to promote the proposal to expand Raging Waves City to be passed at the Royal Council. Shenglun City is the brain of the empire, and Raging Waves City is the heart of the empire. People with healthy brains and strong hearts

Only an empire can continue to grow stronger.

Once we have settled the empire's internal problems, we will unleash the empire's iron fist on the world.

At that time, I will tell him in front of my father's tombstone: His era was not the peak of the empire, I am the greatest emperor of the empire!"

Luke approved very much: "A great emperor needs to have extraordinary skills and a heart that can only accommodate the world. It was Princess Del who made me see these elements in you, and also made me determined to visit this time."

Fania asked: "Have you met Princess Dai'er?"

"I found her and placed her in Miss Qingkong's museum. I can confirm that the person who attacked Princess Del is the Abyss Mage, and it was Princess Del who provided me with a small clue.
