When Edgar reported to Bank that they had defeated the orcs and even Lorne had subdued the trolls, the legion commander immediately released the news that he had deliberately blocked.
Moreover, Lorne personally explained the recent events in the empire.
However, the complacent Baron Fast obviously didn't appreciate it very much and slapped the letter on the table.
On the way back, Lorne returned to his luxurious nature.
Even if he is camping in the wild, Baron Fast will always make his tent completely complete.
As for the furniture, they are all matching high-end goods.
Unfortunately, the table that had been cracked by him was considered scrapped.
But the nouveau riche man didn't care at all, and what he said in his mouth was full of the taste of earth.
"Bankhabs, the old guy actually dared to intercept my information.
I must teach him a lesson when I go back and let the old guy know who has the final say in the North now."
Celine couldn't tell what was written on the paper from Lorne's words.
He directly took the letter paper on the table that had been smashed into pieces by the man in his hand.
Celine read through the content in the shortest time, knowing that Lorne had defeated the orcs, and the legion commander's handwriting was very calm.
There was a lot in the letter, but the news inside was not so easy for them.
"The land in the south of the empire has fallen into the hands of Glory City.
Prince Bruce has also gone to the south.
Are they looking for death?"
The land in the southern part of the empire was occupied by Brilliant City, which was something Lorne had anticipated.
But Prince Bruce took the initiative to get into the arms of the Li family, which is not good news.
Even before she finished reading, Celine couldn't help but make a sound.
But this is not the most serious trouble.
Lorne no longer has the brisk tone he had during the day.
"You haven't finished reading it yet.
Look at the end.
It says that Prince Bruce announced that the people in Brilliant City are friends of the Empire, as well as the family named Li.
They actually openly say that they believe in the Mother of Holy Light.
Damn it, they are planning to take root here."
Lorne said it relatively simply, but Bank, who had already sent people to understand it, wrote it in quite detail.
Celine skipped the middle paragraph and focused directly on the words about Brilliant City.
Sure enough, the letter stated that the Li family held a ceremony to worship the Mother of Light under the auspices of Prince Bruce.
And during the ceremony, they also claimed that the current Pope Keira was the instigator of this war.
Their appearance was in obedience to the call of the Mother of Light to help the true ruler of the empire.
Not to mention Prince Bruce and the nobles he brought with him, some people in the empire who had suffered from the disaster of war believed their lies.
Bank attached the letter to the letter about what he had learned.
After reading it, Celine discovered that Glory City was really slowly infiltrating into the empire.
The most terrifying thing is that Prince Bruce actually regarded Yuanwang City as a fiefdom and gave it to the Li family.
Even Celine couldn't help but curse: "What qualifications does he have to act like a puppet with no power, stupid prince?"
"You are right, that stupid prince is just a puppet of the Li family.
The damn idiot actually sent it to the door by himself.
Didn't anyone tell him how dangerous the people in Brilliant City are?"
Celine couldn't answer Lorne's question, because even Bank didn't figure out what happened to Prince Bruce that made him take the initiative to embrace the Glory City.
Logically speaking, the prince has so many nobles who support him.
After Brilliant City occupied the southern part of the empire, he should expand his power while Keira focused all her energy on the heretics.
It's a pity that Prince Bruce didn't do this.
Although his behavior of not causing trouble behind Keira's back allowed His Majesty the Pope to concentrate more power, with Prince Bruce as a puppet and Brilliant City claiming to be a believer of the Holy Mother, Keira's failure has already It's already been decided.

How long she can hold on is what Celine is most concerned about.
"We have no way to change Prince Bruce and the heretics in Brilliant City.
The problem is Pope Kayla."
After speaking, Celine looked at the letter sent by Bank.
Sure enough, Kayla was also mentioned in the letter from the legion commander.
Moreover, a large section in the middle was related to the Pope.
After a brief look, Celine continued.
"Keira actually sent a request to the North to join forces.
It seems that our Pope also understands that he can no longer drive out the heretics in Glory City with his own strength.
How about it, I think Bankhubbs means to ask for your opinion.
Should we give up on Prince Bruce and support Keira?"
The letters sent by Bank only stated the situation of the empire, and contained no suggestions or opinions of his own.
Celine said that he wanted to ask Lorne what he meant, which was indeed the subtext of the legion commander.
In the future, Lorne is destined to be the central figure in power in the North.
Especially when the limelight is at its peak now, it is not impossible for Bank to give priority to Lorne's opinions.
It's just that the previous Grand Duke of the North died while going south.
If Lorne's first words after coming to power were to join forces with Keira.
Let alone other people, Anna must be the first person to fall out with him.
But joining forces with Keira can indeed save a lot of trouble, and Lorne believes that Bank will definitely be inclined to this choice.
Only because Keira was the culprit who killed the Northern Archduke and Otto, this guy threw the power of choice to him.
"Shameless old thing, this is a trap" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Bank was deliberately setting him up.
After Lorne finished scolding him, he told Celine what he had just thought of.
Celine, who had never taken Anna seriously and was busy integrating the forces at hand all day, accidentally ignored this point.
With their current strength, they can already unify the northern border by force.
But that is when there is no external threat.
Now that Brilliant City is eyeing them, if they waste time on killing each other.
What is waiting for them is probably the heretic army that is ready for everything.
Under the influence of Lorne, Celine also values the power of Glory City.
"Joining forces with Keira will cause us to lose the support from the north, but if we give up Keira, we will miss the opportunity to swallow up the church's power in one go."
How could Lorne not know what Celine said.
This was what troubled him, but unfortunately, time was not on his side this time.
Judging from the situation in Bank's letter, it is very likely that Keira will not survive this year.
Therefore, he must also hurry up.
If one person can't come up with a solution, he might as well find a few more people, and if they work together, they will always come up with an idea that has the best of both worlds
