THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 141's

Judd sees that Swann is still making a face as if she found something and immediately fires her so as not to raise her suspicions, “OK we will leave now. Go and rest.”

Judd thought when she decided to go to her room quietly, ‘Damn it, kids today are so hard to handle, they doubted every damn thing just because of my reputation. Can't they appreciate me as a senior? ‘ 

Meanwhile, Bran is only behind Judd when he hears her lecture Swann, Bran smiles and asks them both, “Judd why we didn't report this to Blake. I don't think anyone would mind.”

Judd was immediately worried as he heard Bran from behind, “No Bran, no, he's just a kid so nobody serious everyone has the spirit of exploring, right?”

He then whispered into his ear, “Damn it, okay you won, don't make me lose face in front of this kid, he will gossip this to everyone to make sure if I lose face. I can give you a new bottle of wine I stole from Blake's room earlier. How, Deal? Don't make me lose face, please. ” 

Bran smiles and sees a haggard expression and signals that he agrees and talks to Swann,” Okay Judd, on your account I will not report this. Son, come back, we have to go to the forest tomorrow for exploration. ”

Swann thought before she left, ‘There must be something fishy here. That selfish Foreign Uncle Judd helped me this time, I can't believe it. Both of them must be planning something. Anyway, I better make preparations for tomorrow as we will try to find those horses. ‘

Meanwhile, Judd was in Blake's room when he reported about Swann's meeting in the woods today.

Blake thought when he heard it, “Hmmm, So this time the boy found some unique horses that could be of great help to us. I think they will be difficult to tame because they live on this island and may be dangerous. However, it would be worth a try if they could be domesticated, if what he claims that they can swim in the water is true, he said, then these horses could add a whole new dimension to naval and land warfare Okay, you make your preparations to explore the jungle tomorrow Bring more men with you to capture them. ”

Judd was surprised and asked Blake,” You are not angry at the boy even after the previous incident? “

Blake shook his head and said with a smile on his face, “No, Men should be free and their wings open if they want to grow. We have made our choice and we should not reflect on it. The child is just like you: uncontrollable and uncontrollable, of course, it only applies to you. Be careful when exploring the forest, taking additional ammunition in case of an emergency. ”

The Royal Family's reaction to the war.

Meanwhile King Lionheart saw a report from Ambassador Luke, who, 

King Lionheart roared as soon as he saw the report, “What, that short guy started a war with him just because his son died? Did he really announce it? Doesn't he know this? would it accidentally involve the half elf as well and create a civil war if the elf decided to help who calculated whatever the cost would be? “

Ambassador Luke then reported to him another thing, “Yes, he announced it at his banquet. They've started propaganda in the eastern Laguna region. This time even a luminous church funded them from behind the scenes due to the humiliation faced by Francis at the hands of Count John. This was also one of the reasons why the Fjord could not be controlled at the moment because he had the funds from the Radiant Church while he had gathered quite a number of kings for his campaign. “

Luke continued as he reported about the eastern border, “In addition, the dwarves have also increased their patrols on our eastern border and hence indirectly the Fjord warns us if we take any action. This is also one of the reasons why ministers are reluctant to sanction the Fjord or this will be more problematic because the Fjord will think that we prioritize the Count more while he is higher in the hierarchy. I also think taking a neutral stance is the best course of action this time based on current events. ” 

Luke thought and spoke, “Yes, they will be released in a few days. He hopes we give him political support this time.”

Luke then continued as he spoke, “I have promised him that as long as he and his people are innocent then we will support him when the beaming church supports Fjord from behind the scenes. What do you think, Dewa?”

Lionheart shook his head and spoke, “Cancel that appointment as soon as you receive the Ballista blueprint. Give him a reason that the investigation is still running and drag this problem until the end of the war.” Subjectly

surprisingly Luke looked at Lionheart and asked, “Are you sure, My Lord? “

Lionheart arrogantly spoke, “Yes, he has no other use than his ballista. And once we have it, what can we get from it? We'll hit him if given a chance at the end of the war or make a deal to take it on new technology in the war when he's in trouble to legally take it. Yes, we will take advantage of this war. This war can then weaken the Fjord, meanwhile, the Dwarves' threat can be solved as long as we blueprint it. and ballistas are fitted into our naval assets. ” 

Lionheart was quite proud of his plan when he planned to strengthen the power of the royal family this time around.

Luke reminds when the king in his dream dominates everything, “How about the Bluesea house, It can be a pandora's box if not well controlled? After investing so much, I don't think they will easily give up their investment they made in that count. We can bear the consequences in the form of murder. ”

Lionheart snorted angrily as he spoke,” The short man has already opened Pandora's box so there is nothing to do. We have to make a choice and I think the court will get a short end this time. I just think about the steps that can give us the best results. Bring Plato and Master Eanred as well. This time we will need their advice so that we can control this war from the shadows . “

Lionheart smiled mysteriously and added, “As for Bluesea house, we don't have to worry about them because we have prepared something for them as well. I was quite reluctant about their proposal before, but I can consider it this time because of the current circumstances. ”

Luke's spine goosebumps when he hears it and remembers the Fire-Gulf prince's secret arrival just a few days ago and understands what King Lionheart was thinking. 

‘I guess something big will happen because the king is considering their proposal. However, I wonder why counting on doing foolishness gives us weapons so early. Is there a trap or is he overconfident? ‘

Luke goes to bring Plato and Eanred so that their meeting and discussion can begin. 

****

Both Plato and Eanred met in the hall when they went to King Lionheart’s Chambers. 

Eanred spoke in a fierce voice as soon as he saw Plato, “It seems like something serious has happened since the two of us were summoned. Even Brat Luke is here today. I think it's all because of that cleverness.” 

Plato smiled and spoke when he heard Eanred, “Well, I hope this meeting will happen after the announcement of Fjord. I have a pretty good solution to the problem this time. In the meantime, how was your ritual when you and your old friend tried it last time? any results? “

Eanred sighed as he recalled about the previous ritual that happened, “Don't even make me remember it, this is a total failure, he said, I think it is a future that is constantly changing so it is very difficult to predict the big events that will happen in the north this time. What we see are many bodies that cannot be identified how they died, the eye of the storm being the border of the northern border town. I felt something unpleasant was going to happen this time, and the rest was the fog of war. A certain amount of resources were spent and we couldn't even see the Count's face and predict from his reaction what would happen next. Well, let's go in and see what happens.will happen, in the end, it's the king's decision, we can only advise and guide him. “
