Soon, Sean met Khadgar in the basement.

"Kadgar, why are you here? How is the situation over there in Lookout Town?" Sean asked impatiently as soon as he saw Khadgar.

"The situation in Lookout Town is very bad, and just now, I met an acquaintance." Khadgar's face looked a little ugly.

"Who is it, acquaintance?" Sean asked curiously.

"It's Jamie Fingers..."

Khadgar went through all the information he had collected in Watchtown in detail.

While Sean was listening, he took out the bananas Lunala bought from the [Dimensional Backpack] and ate them while listening.

After hearing the end, Sean's face became serious: "Jamie Finger... I didn't expect that Alexander Lane also wanted to interfere in the affairs of the Yorn area, and even Jamie Finger actually directly possessed the hunter.

The Count’s body is really incredible!”

All this reminded Sean of the classic "Horror Spiral Theory" from his previous life.

In the system of the spiral of terror theory, both sides in a life-and-death war will continuously increase their military strength, forming an arms race.

Just like the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, both sides continued to increase the number of nuclear warheads, and their military strength eventually expanded to the point where even the superpowers could not afford it.

In this world, at the beginning, the water-type coalition only had Lucas, who had just broken through, and a sky-level powerhouse. Now, the water-type nobles have Lucas plus two sky-level powerhouses, and their strength has increased by more than five or six times!

The same goes for the non-water nobles. Their original highest combat power was just a high-ranking gold-ranked warrior, but now they have Asuna Shancha, a sky-ranked warrior, and Jamie Fingers, a high-ranked sky-ranked warrior.

The "arms" race is so terrifying!

It seems that I have to be more careful when dealing with the Shancha family in the future. If the Shancha family also enters this terrifying spiral, I am afraid that the Principality of Lane will be over soon.

...

After Khadgar finished speaking, he began to analyze the situation in Watchtown with Sean:

"Sir, I think Jamie Finger wants to control the Hunter Earl's territory through possession, and then defeat the water nobles on the frontal battlefield and rule the Yorn area. If it weren't for the fact that the water nobles had added two powerful men from the sky level.

, maybe he really succeeded!"

Sean slowly sat on the leather sofa in the wine cellar and said with a smile: "Anyway, Jamie Finger really miscalculated this time. In fact, we don't need to do anything, we just need to wait for him quietly.

Just the news of the defeat... Let’s observe this matter slowly, Khadgar, is there anything else?”

Sean had just finished practicing. He was very tired and couldn't wait to go back and take a nap.

Khadgar saw the fatigue on Sean's face, so he quickly said: "Sir, there are two more things, let me talk about them faster.

The first thing is about Dalia Blade Song. Her recent mental state has been somewhat abnormal. In short, she is very anxious..."

Khadgar briefly explained Dalia's fear of being recalled by Shaun.

"This question..."

After hearing Khadgar's words, Sean couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know how to answer.

Sean casually opened the [Follower] module on the system panel and took a look. The [Void Walker] Baal and the [Fighting Sparring Trainer] Zude inside were useless, and it was impossible for him to summon them again.

However, Sean will also pay attention to this issue. Dalia Bladesong has this anxiety, and other followers will definitely have it in the future.

It seems that most of the followers in the future will either be taken back immediately after use, or they will stay in this world for a long time to try to avoid things like Dalia happening.

"Let's do this." Sean thought for a while and said: "After the war is over, I will upgrade Dalia Bladesong to the gold level and let her sneak into the Elf Kingdom to gather some information. If she performs well, I will

She is here to stay in this world for the long haul.”

"Then I'd like to thank you very much on Dalia's behalf. She will definitely be very happy to know about this." Khadgar said happily.

"What about one last thing?" Sean asked.

"The last thing is more serious to say. According to my estimation, it won't be long before Earl Hunter... is wrong, Jamie Finger will be defeated. By then we will not be able to defend the property in Lookout Town.

I can give it to the water nobles at a cheaper price."

"Alas! God is not as good as man, and there is nothing we can do about it." Sean sighed and shook his head.

When Sean first decided to buy property in Lookout Town, the only water-type noble was Lucas, a sky-level powerhouse, and there was no such thing as an attack by the Anjou navy.

At that time, Sean's plan was to invest in a large number of industries in Lookout Town. Once the non-water nobles lost, Sean would send his sky-level warriors to forcefully settle in Lookout Town and cause trouble for the Marquis of the River.

Now that the water nobles are too powerful to offend him, and the Anjou navy is coming in force, this property worth 100,000 gold coins can only be given up.

"It's okay. Let's prepare the retreat in advance. It's just 100,000 gold coins. We can afford to throw them away! If it doesn't work, you can visit the Hehe family's warehouse and grab these gold coins back."

Sean yawned and stretched as he spoke. He was really sleepy.

"Does Khadgar have anything else to do?" Sean asked with a yawn.

"No more." Khadgar shook his head: "Then please rest more, sir. We will contact you another day."

"Goodbye, Khadgar." Sean waved goodbye to Khadgar.

...

After Khadgar left, the exhausted Sean went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Unknowingly, the time came six days later, which was July 21st.

...

...

During these six days, Sean's forces did not make any big moves.

Anduin and Thor are still being produced step by step in Hetan Town and Shuisong Town to provide logistical support for the war;

The Jewelers Association, Blacksmiths Association, and the production of artillery were also progressing smoothly. The artillery was eventually sent to the military port and transformed into a gunboat under the supervision of Windsor.

The last gunboat drill was on July 12th, and today is the 21st. In just 9 days, the modification work of 6 gunboats has been completed ahead of schedule! This is at least 4 days faster than planned!

The plan was completed ahead of schedule mainly because of the participation of a large number of high-level professionals.

Last time, Sean asked Khadgar to empty out the Holy Light Church's warehouse and at the same time announced subsidies for the lower levels of the church.

A large number of paladins and priests came to the military port to find jobs. Sean was all over the place and took them all under his command.

Paladins are strong and carry very high loads. A bronze-level Paladin can carry a ship-borne artillery all over the street, which greatly improves work efficiency.

Because of this, today all the gunboats have entered the sea!
Chapter completed!
