Chapter 213: Chapter 202: Steam Locomotive, Railway, Lion Convention_2

At this point, Viscount Bast burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha, those nobles were not completely loyal to the Meyer family to begin with! And what happened? The Rhea Royal Family came looking to us, the Cyart people, for help and suddenly their prestige exploded!”

Chief Renzo nodded, indeed that was the case. The Rhea Kingdom was mountainous and, although formally a nation, had always been in a loose feudal state.

Therefore, many lords had a strong sense of independence. They were indecisive at the outset of the war and unclear about which side to support, quietly observing.

Now there was no need to choose, for the old monarch of Rhea had already made the choice for them.

The King had already committed treason by joining forces with the Cyart people first!

Viscount Bast, already advanced in age, had left the front lines due to an injury six months ago and returned to Fein City to recuperate, but ended up dragging out his absence for half a year without returning to the front.

Many people were unaware of the real reason, in fact, even within the Lion clan, very few knew what was going on.

There was, of course, a very important secret with Viscount Bast.

That was, he was about to break through to the Monarch Level!

In over a hundred years since the establishment of the Eastern Four Kingdoms, aside from the Ten Great Families and the Church, no new Monarch powerful expert had ever emerged from any of the recognized legitimate forces.

Therefore, the fact that he was about to break through to the Monarch Level involved too much and was too widespread; Viscount Bast had always kept it a secret.

Only a few of the most important people within the Lion clan, as well as Byrne Fischer, were aware of this matter.

“I am about to be promoted to Monarch, and then the Leone family, the Lion clan, will become a new great family outside of the Ten Great Families. That will be the day we reshape the pattern of the Eastern Four Kingdoms!”

Viscount Bast’s eyes shone with high-spirited ambition, and the people from the Lion clan were also full of respect and longing!

For so many years, there had never been such a person or event in Cyart!

Chief Renzo frowned and looked at his brother seriously, slowly saying, “Some people from the Ten Great Families will definitely try to stop us, not wanting a new force to come to the table.”

“Renzo, it’s okay because Duke Black Iron from the Romann family has decided to fully support my breakthrough…”

Viscount Bast paused for a moment and then said with a smile, “He is also looking for an exit strategy and support for the Romann family after his passing, and he definitely does not want anything to happen to me. Although Duke Black Iron himself must be present at the front lines, by that time, two other Monarch powerful experts from the Romann family will come to Fein City to help me.”

Chief Renzo pondered for a moment and then, narrowing his eyes, continued:

“The Fischer family is becoming stronger and stronger; one could even say that aside from us, in the East Coast, Fischer is almost the strongest family.”

Viscount Bast did not deny it, but simply nodded calmly before asking, “Indeed it is so. What about it?”

Renzo fell silent for a long time, eventually deciding to speak his thoughts.

“What I mean is, shouldn’t our Lion clan be a bit more cautious of them? Just in case, I mean just in case, if your breakthrough fails, perhaps in a few decades our family might be suppressed by Fischer.”

Viscount Bast also fell deep into thought, his eyes revealing a hint of weariness and some reluctance.

“I really don’t want to do that.”

“Renzo, I really like Byrne Fischer. In all these years, among the many people I have met, most of them are full of promises, saying nice things, but they are either insincere or change their minds after some time. Byrne is different.”

“In the entire world, there are hardly any who truly value loyalty and righteousness; even those connected by blood might betray each other!”

Because of that last sentence, Renzo couldn’t help but roll his eyes. He also understood his elder brother’s high regard for Byrne, not expecting there to be such a deep bond between them.

He couldn’t help but tease, “You’re practically treating him like a son of your own, Bast.”

“Hahahaha, it’s not unreasonable to understand it that way,” Viscount Bast laughed heartily, not denying it at all.

Renzo continued to press on, “So you really don’t plan to take any measures against the Fischer family, just because you believe in Byrne, thinking he will never betray you?”

Viscount Bast squinted his eyes, smiling as he spoke:
