Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor

"Don’t forget that the Western Alliance still has vast lands that do not belong to the Empire."

Lusen and Linda both nodded in agreement.

Luo De’s words hit the core of the issue

— The Dawn Society shouldn’t be concerned with who the Emperor of the Empire is; they should consider who the enemy is.

"Thank you for clarifying, Lord Luo De, I will convey your words to the wise ones."

Lusen’s expression was solemn, "However, those two emperors might not possess your wisdom; they’ve already been blinded by power."

"They will wake up."

Luo De felt confident that he could change everything upon seeing the attitude of the Princess and Duke of Flowers towards him.

But not now.

The size of Luo De’s army was still too small, indeed somewhat shabby when faced with large-scale war.

Right now, what Luo De needs most is time to accumulate and recruit more troops — at least reaching twenty thousand to have confidence.

Fortunately, it’s currently winter, not suitable for large army expeditions.

Hold off those two envoys, conquer the entire Northern Territory, and only then will Luo De truly become a Duke.

At that time, every word spoken will carry weight.

"There’s no rush for this, and you two needn’t hurry to leave."

Luo De smiled, his words leaving no room for question, "Spend the winter here, and meanwhile, I’d like you, Lusen, to help me handle a few things."

"This..."

Before Lusen could finish speaking, Luo De interrupted,

"Twenty drops of Dragon Blood."

"Just so happens, I love watching the snow."

Upon hearing about Dragon Blood, Lusen sat up straight without hesitation and asked, "What matters?"

"My people will search within the territory for talented spellcasters, and I hope you can enlighten them for me."

Luo De’s territory now has more than seventy thousand people, and with the support of terms, both screening and enlightenment are massive undertakings.

The wizard apprentices in Frost Leaf Town have more confidential matters to attend to, leaving this laborious task for Lusen is more suitable.

Moreover, Luo De wanted to showcase a bit of "muscle" to the Dawn Society, to let them see how abundant the spellcaster talents in the Northern Territory are.

Lusen, naturally unaware of the terms commanded by Luo De, did not believe there would be many people, and without any bargaining, decisively agreed,

"No problem, I’m quite skilled at training newcomers."

"Then what can I do for you?"

Linda stepped forward to ask.

"You can go to Frost Leaf Town and visit some of your old friends."

"Old friends?"

Linda showed some doubt, "Miss Avril?"

Linda was quite familiar with Avril, but wouldn’t call her an old friend.

"No, it’s Zhuo Ya."

Luo De didn’t hide anything.

As Linda’s good sister, Luo De hoped to rely on Zhuo Ya to keep Linda.

Linda’s research abilities might not be strong, but on the battlefield, she’s like a human flamethrower.

Moreover, she’s straightforward, without any excess thoughts.

"Zhuo Ya is here with you?"

Linda stood up excitedly, "That’s great!"

Lusen also showed delight, as Zhuo Ya was finally found.

"I’ll set off now."

Linda’s eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Tomorrow, I’ll have someone guide you and prepare some food for you meanwhile."

Luo De arranged, "You two should rest well first and we’ll have dinner together tonight."

"Hmm, that sounds good." Linda nodded.

Luo De immediately called the guard to lead both of them to the manor’s guest room.

In Luo De’s heart, Lusen and Linda’s value far exceeded that of the envoys, so naturally, accommodations were arranged in the manor rather than a shabby inn.

After the two left, Luo De returned to the table to scrutinize the map again.

At this moment, Gala hurriedly rushed into the hall,

"Saint Master!"

Gala’s face carried rare joy, "A Flying Dragon has been found in the western mountains!"
