"Jerry is the biggest threat to Levi.
It will definitely not be easy for my sister to get Jerry by her side."
She was originally a little girl, and her feelings for her nephew Anna, who was just over five years old, were not as deep as Amanda's.
After giving birth to Levi, Anna's feelings for Jerry were only for Otto's sake.
Even if Anna was like this, Lorne would certainly not care about a five-year-old boy.
"It's not that he plans to use his identity to pull me down when I make mistakes in the future.
Humph, your sister dares to think so because the Clark family's power is still intact.
Let me find a way to cripple the Clark family.
When I see it, what else will she use to fight me?"
Originally, Lorne did not intend to take action against the remaining Clark family, but now it seems that if they are not weakened, some people will become restless.
As for how to do it, the man already had an idea.
Using the cheating Orc Alliance, dealing with a Clark family is a piece of cake.
But before Lorne could send orders to the trap, after the knighting ceremony that had changed the atmosphere, Lorne received a guest.
The arrival of the other party provided him with a better opportunity to legitimately weaken the Clark family's army.
"Earl of Lornefast, I am Richard of the Morris family.
I only wish to express my congratulations to you on behalf of my Morris family and all the members of the Yellow Sand Army."
The Morris family is also the owner of the Yellow Sand Army and the guardians of the west of the empire.
Of course, this was before, and today's Yellow Sand Legion Lorne has heard some bad news.
For example, the Morris family was pinned to the ground and rubbed by Brilliant City, and the entire legion suffered heavy losses.
Later, their head of the family, Marquis Maurice, was assassinated, and the family almost disbanded due to internal strife for power.
Although they later became a collective again, their defeat and internal strife had severely damaged their vitality.
From Lorne's point of view, they no longer had much value.
At first, Lorne responded to Richard's congratulations in a perfunctory manner.
However, after hearing the other party's intention, Lorne put away his laxity.
"Your Excellency, Earl, I don't know what your views are on the heretics who are occupying the territory of the empire."
After just a few words, the other party actually brought the topic to heresy.
Knowing that the Yellow Sand Legion had been brutally tortured by the Li family, Lorne suspected that the other party came to form an alliance with him.
Even if the Morris family is no longer what it used to be, Lorne, who is the earl in charge of the entire northern territory, cannot be too contemptuous of such a young brother who takes the initiative to serve.
"Those heretics only succeeded by taking advantage of the chaos in our empire, but our northern border has now solved the troubles of the orcs.
After I reorganize the army, I will make them pay the price for the heretics."
Since the Morris family is likely to come to form an alliance with him, Lorne will naturally have to flex his muscles.
Making it clear that he had complete control over the army in the north, Lorne also specifically explained the current situation in the north to Richard.
And there is no need for Lorne to explain this.
Before entering the northern land, Richard had already heard about Lorne's glorious record of expelling the orcs.
It is precisely because of this that the Morris family sent him here to congratulate Lorne.
The alliance was just Lorne's idea.
The real situation of the Morris family was more dangerous than Lorne imagined.
"Your Excellency, the Earl, can single-handedly solve the millennium-old problems in the North.
With your help, the heretics are certainly no match for you."
As he spoke, Richard suddenly took out a piece of animal skin paper with gold edges from his arms.
"In order to show our Morris family's respect for Your Excellency, I specially brought many specialties unique to the Dawn Desert to congratulate you."
It turned out that what Morris took out was a gift list, and every house actually has this kind of thing.
But usually Lorne would not receive it personally.
Now Richard handed him the gift list directly.
This unusual behavior made Lorne subconsciously glance at everything on it.

The so-called Dawn Desert is actually the Desert of Death, and the Dawn Desert is just the Morris family's own beautification.
But this does not change the situation in the Death Desert, a place that others avoid.
Lorne originally thought it would be more desolate than the North.
But after reading the content above, including gems calculated by the box and tons of gold, Lorne didn't know what kind of specialty this was.
The only thing that seems to be a bit of a specialty is perhaps the interracial beauty marked at the end of the gift list.
But Lorne was very doubtful about how beautiful the so-called beauty was in the harsh environment of the desert.
However, the key point of this gift list is not that it is there, but that the overall value has far exceeded the scope of congratulations.
To congratulate him with such a precious thing, it is obvious that the Morris family is not just here to congratulate him.
Putting down the animal skin paper in his hand, Lorne pretended to politely refuse.
"This thing is too heavy.
I accept the wishes of the Morris family and Sir, but please take it back with you."
According to the custom of people in the north, if someone comes to give you a gift, you should happily accept it.
Regardless of whether there is any problem, there is nothing wrong with eating it first.
Richard also prepared this gift after finding out clearly about Lorne's preferences, in order to build a closer relationship with the earl.
It's a pity that the Earl, who has just ascended the throne, doesn't seem to care.
Regardless of Lorne's expression just now or his nonchalant attitude now, Richard has reason to suspect that the Earl has seen through the reality of their Morris family.
For a person who reaches greatness from a humble status, any luck will bring irreparable disaster.
This is the family motto of the Morris family.
After seeing that Lorne was not tempted by external things, Richard immediately changed his attitude.
"No, Your Excellency, this is our Morris family's way of expressing our sincerity to you.
We need your help, and we need help from the North."
Suddenly, a huge gift was given to a stranger with whom he had never socialized.
If Richard hadn't asked for something, Lorne wouldn't believe it even to death.
Sure enough, after Lorne returned the gift slip, Richard couldn't resist anymore.
But Lorne would not accept the gift from the Morris family because of this, and pushed the gift order back again.
He was somewhat interested in the help that Richard said.
"The Morris family has been the barrier to the west of the empire for generations.
Is there something wrong with the desert?"
There are not many resources in the Death Desert, and naturally there is not much population.
If the Morris family couldn't stand up to those low-civilized tribes, then they wouldn't have guarded the place for so many years.
What was the help that Richard was talking about?
What Lorne really guessed was that it was related to Glory City.
However, he did not say it directly, deliberately showing an attitude of not taking the heresy seriously.
He wanted Richard to tell everything by himself
