John knew that Lorne had roped in several local lords during his fight with Walter.
This was no secret, but he didn't know that the beast had also blackmailed them.
In his judgment, he thought that Lorne had united the lords to open up the grassland together.
With the strength shown by Lorne, the average baron can only take him as the leader.
He secured his first position, gathered the strength of most lords, and had the Harrison family preparing for him in the early stage.
It was not impossible for the Fast family to successfully establish a foothold on the grassland, but Lorne's idea of monopolizing the grassland still had its difficulties.
John knew the greed of the great nobles in the north.
If the Fast family could not show its tyrannical strength, the only thing waiting for him would be carving up among the great nobles.
John couldn't tell Lorne this, because accidentally spreading it would make his already unpopular identity even more hated.
However, he believed that Lorne himself would definitely understand.
Just like today, being able to reject him shows that Lornfast is no longer the illegitimate child who didn't understand anything.
The most fortunate thing is that Lorne, like him, is also targeted by the Baker family.
This is also the reason why John is willing to see Lorne strong.
Even if they can't cooperate, Lorne can help him share the pressure from the Baker family.
Even because of Walter's incident, John clearly felt that the Baker family had shifted their main focus from him to the Fast Territory.
Although he still felt a little regretful about giving up the Prairie Project, John was able to pick it up and put it down.
After making sure that Lorne would not collapse so quickly, he chose to continue to maintain a good friendship with the Fast family.
After talking to Lorne about their understanding of the use of cavalry, after Hayden arrived, they divided up the few trophies and decided to end the hunting trip against the orcs.
The conversation between Lorne and John had basically ended just now, but Hayden still had a lot to tell Lorne.
To sum it up, it was mainly two aspects.
After finding an opportunity to talk to Lorne alone, he asked.
"Why refuse John Carter?
With his help, it will be easier for you to open up the grassland.
And with your strength, it is difficult to swallow such a large grassland in one go.
According to our family's observations over the years, this Although the grassland is barren, it has more land than an ordinary earldom.
In other words, a lot of forces can be accommodated here.
Do you plan to have this place to yourself in the future?"
As they gradually became familiar with each other, Hayden and Lorne no longer minced words when talking.
Although he was indeed using Lorne to solve the troubles of the Harrison family, in terms of personal feelings, he was very optimistic about the young man in front of him.
He doesn't mind enlightening the other party a little on some simple political issues.
But Lorne's secret is destined that he will not have so many collaborators.
Unless they are those who are completely attached to him, he will never allow uncontrolled people to appear casually around his secret.
But for Hayden, obviously he couldn't just say what was in his heart.
Therefore, Lorne could only reorganize what he said to John and then said it to Hayden.
Hearing that Lorne had united the lords around him, Hayden was a little surprised but not surprised.
It is a rule of the empire for small nobles to unite to fight against big nobles.
If Lorne can master it, it will prove that the other party has grown up as a lord.
Treating the previous conversation as if it had not happened, Hayden, as a member of the great aristocracy, would naturally not be able to teach Lorne how to fight against him.
However, the Prairie Plan determines the future development direction of the Harrison family, and he has to pay attention to it.
Like John, after making sure Lorne didn't self-destruct, he got down to business.
"About the construction of the castle base, your retainers should have reported to you.
How about it?
Have you decided on the place you choose?"
The retainer in Hayden's mouth refers to the old man Fedion, who was shamelessly packed up by Lorne and then gave away his own women and then himself to Lorne.
It was probably because he heard about Walter, and because Fedien still worked hard for him despite his age, Lorne reluctantly agreed.

Including the other party's son, Amy's former husband, Lina's biological father has also turned to Lorne to help him.
For example, the location selection was done for him by his father and his son.
When hunting orcs, Hayden also intentionally took him to inspect several selected locations.
However, Lorne was not so satisfied with those places.
Both Fedion and his son had a common problem in the places they chose.
That is, the location is too conservative, basically no more than three days away from the Harrison family border.
Part of the reason is of course that the grassland is under the control of the orcs and they cannot go too far.
Another part of the reason must be that the father and son are greedy for life and afraid of death.
In their subconscious mind, the closer they are to the Harrison family, the safer they are.
But this will definitely not satisfy Lorne.
Building the castle in front of the Harrison family is just to serve as a watchdog for the Harrison family.
And that kind of position is not conducive to him controlling the grassland, or sending troops to attack the orcs.
"I've looked at the map they gave me, and I'm not very satisfied with those places."
Straightforwardly, all the hard work of Fedien and his son for so many days was regarded as waste paper, but Lorne's answer was what Hayden expected.
We were already preparing to play a big game, so why would we adopt such a conservative plan?
If it were him, he wouldn't be willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources just to provide a layer of defense for others.
But re-selecting a site will definitely waste a lot of time.
Building a city is inherently a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
If it continues to be delayed, we don't know when we can start.
Hayden had his own difficulties and needed to push Lorne.
"As far as I know, those places are pretty good.
Not only are there rich pastures, but there are also canyons that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
You can start your plan quickly by building a city there.
I don't know what you think we, Harrison, are missing.
Families can also help.
Moreover, we have prepared a lot of materials at the border.
If we continue to delay, I am worried that unnecessary losses will be caused. " There was no need for Hayden to push him, Lorne himself wanted to hurry up.
There is no shortage of most things on the grassland, but there is a lack of suitable building materials.
Without the help of the Harrison family, he would have had a headache just transporting it.
Therefore, Lorne is not pretentious either.
Pointing to the battlefield in front of him that was littered with orc corpses, he directly gave Hayden a positive answer
