“da!” Rudolph's face was gloomy: “Make sure to contact our informants in the military to see what their decision would be I want to knohat choice they willtime if they have broken into the fortress Their aie i”
“Yes” Butler replied
Another room in the castle
A bedroom which was more thank hundred square meters The four meter wide bed inside the room was decorated with pink mosquito nets There was a servant by the bed with a stick A man and a woe paper card in her hand
There was a law book in her other hand She will stop to rest and read the book
…
Mel family
A gorgeous office
A dark red carpet spread to every corner of the roons on the the s The sun rays that shi+ned reflected the pattern of butterflies on the carpet A light breeze would blow curtains from time to time Above the room there was a portrait of a famous actress once upon a time But noas replaced with ato outline of the entire giant wall The center of the ray tone There were four areas which seee drains They represented three areas and the inner wall In addition to those areas garbage dump was drawn on the e dump wasn't isolated
You could vaguely able to see contours of various regions There were small black spots with symbols marked on them in the periphery of this area After this area the rest of the region was marked in crimson color That area was the wilderness
There were thick lines outside the wilderness representing giant wall There were large nuiant wall There were small numbers written on each area
A slender girl with golden hair which fell onto her shoulders like a waterfall sat by the chair in front of the nificent map She had a different temperament in comparison to other aristocratic ladies She see a black skirt with dark red clothing on top
Norht now she was occupying the seat
She was Mel family's miss Sarah
“Miss, the barbarians have broken through the fort The ht?” Anext to her whispered Her dress was different fro seelance you wouldchest betrayed her sex
Sarah looked at the sh military can focus their forces to push them back but then barbarians would take the opportunity to attack other fortresses It is a tactic by the barbarians”
“Barbarians should have knowledge about the environment How can they be so crafty?” The maid was puzzled
Sarah slowly said: “Attacking others is in human nature We are like beasts who are born to hunt In the long terrow and increase then they will be elie of the prayer day for the invasion It seems they have s one damned soldiers, it was just a fortress!”
The ry expression on Sarah's face She didn't have fear but orried for Sarah: “If the war gets protracted then the losses of our consortiu The Red Maple mountains are behind the fortress The barbarians are bound to invade the mountains The terrain over there is so that it is very easy to defend but hard to attack It is the first stronghold invaded by the barbarians If the war is delayed the foundation of our consortium will be shaken We will lose our foothold in competition with Scott consortium”
Sarah looked at her and smiled: “All these years that you have spent by ood eyes!”
Thelady has nurtured me well”
Sarah se So what do you think we should do?”
Theindustry is the battleground between our consortium and the Scott consortium Moreover the Red Maple mountains are the financial foundation of the Mellon consortium so we can't lose it The only way is that we can temporarily load the military ar supplies and share their burdens This way they can drive out the barbarians and end the war We can take our time to collect the debts However even if the military doesn't pay it back then they will owe us It would be much more convenient for our consortium if military owed us for services”
Sarah sood ”
The s”
Sarah took back her eyes: “The idea is good but not feasible The other consortia and the military can think of this method too So it won't be effective Moreover you are underestie If they really want to then they can expel these barbarians in an instant”
The maid was startled: “that … … Why then military doesn't act? The military's reputation will be lost if the barbarians swept so… ”
“Lisa, you are still not experienced enough” Sarah gently tapped her fingers on the table: “Every consortia including the military are enemies You better remember this! If we are born in this world then the confrontation is inevitable So unless it is a critical moment on't expose our most valuable cards Fa then the eyes of the masses won't see”
The maid called Lisa was startled She bowed: ”Miss you are smart!”
“At least I'm better than my brother” Sarah's eyes lit up: “He only kno to follow the Holy Church What's the use of being a Knight of Light? A lackey!”
Lisa's face slightly changed as she didn't dare to say anything
“Make the preparation I can't wait to attend theto solve the problem of mines in the Red Maple mountains If uncle Rudolph can't co family will lose a lot because of those e how can they stand on equal footing with Mel fahtedness then the most talented architect in the history of the Teed to our consortium now We would have already unified the econouy!” Sarah said in a cold tone
Lisa nodded as she sneaked a glance at her but she didn't say anything
