Chapter 323：

?Antonio knows that Barnett is a "lone wolf". His character and ability are also very suitable for a person to work alone. If he is forced to cooperate with others, it will easily lead to trouble.

At this time, someone snorted coldly, and it turned out to be a woman's voice. Her face was hidden under the hood, and she said in a very dissatisfied voice, "Northwest Gulf is originally an insignificant place in our overall plan. It is Barnett." That reckless guy didn't know which muscle was wrong, and he was focused on doing things there. It doesn't matter if the plan fails, let his arrogance be wiped out, and he will honestly obey the overall arrangement from now on."

Antonio said, "Master Barnett must have his own reasons. Let's start today's meeting. Let's start with the recent situation in the south of Aldo. I heard that our Lord Greedy Wolf is in a bad situation."

Everyone looked at the captain of the royal guard, Anbolov, beside Antonio. He had always contacted and arranged the affairs in the south of Aldo.

Anbolov replied respectfully, "Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"In March of this year, Her Royal Highness Catherine led the main force of the king's team to the south. At the end of the month, the king easily defeated the southern army near the Thorn Fortress, and then continued to advance south. The princess's march was faster than Giles expected. He had no time to repair the army because of his power, so he raised his troops to the north, and the two sides confronted each other in the Fougères area.

Antonio thought to himself "even with our help"

One of the black robes heard the prince's words and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Highness, according to the plan you made before the Eastern Expedition, in addition to weapons and fodder, we have also appointed two batches of mages to serve in Giles' army. There are about 30 people in total. No matter how many people there are, I am afraid that it will attract the attention of secular forces and expose the secrets of the organization prematurely. But if we let go of our hands and feet and fully support Giles, with the current strength of the organization, we can easily defeat Princess Catherine's army , I have 100% confidence in that."

The old man before added, "The mage we sent to support Giles is mainly good at enchanting ability, which can greatly improve the performance of soldiers' equipment, so it is not easy to attract attention. The other is a batch of secret medicine."

"I think we should also increase our support. Giles is still on the relatively weak side," Apolov suggested.

In the original plan, they planned to keep the battle line around the Fortress of Thorns. Who knows that they are now in Fougères, which is quite a distance south of the Fortress of Thorns.

Antonio waved his hand, "Our fundamental goal is to plunge the Aldo Kingdom into civil strife and have no time to spare, so that we can let go of Gabela's domestic affairs. If Giles can hold on, the battlefield will still be in the Fortress of Thorns or in Fouges What's the difference?"

The old bachelor Aldridge who was sitting on the other side of the prince said, "That's right, for an ambitious wolf like Giles, it's best to let him die half-dead. If he grows fat, it might come back to us."

A moment of guilt flashed in the eyes of the old bachelor. It was against his heart to stir up civil strife in the Aldo Kingdom, but in order to deal with the longer-term plan, he had to participate in it.

Anbolov said with some concern, "It's just that, according to the Aldo information I have collected, the balance of power between Giles and the Royal Government is in a trade-off."

"Oh." Amboroff's words caught the attention of everyone present. For them, it would not be a good thing if Giles died prematurely.

The chief guard explained, "The equipment of the royal team under Princess Catherine is getting better and better. In addition to swords, guns, swords and spears, their armor rate is also steadily increasing."

The old man in black robe was a little surprised, "Is the Aldo royal family so rich?"

A hoarse voice sounded, "Impossible, last year they spent a huge amount of money just to raise military rations, unless it rained gold coins in the glittering sky."

Aldrich stroked his beard and guessed, "Perhaps it is the contribution of the northern lords. If this is the case, then we have to re-evaluate the Aldo royal family. The Schroeder family still has a certain prestige."

Amboroff continued, "The way we support Giles is also somewhat worrisome. Before, we used agents to entrust the ship merchants in the corner of the bay to ship to the south of the kingdom. It seems that Aldo discovered that the ship merchants in the corner of the bay are among them. It has already exerted pressure on countries in the Horn Gulf, and now the governments of all countries are strengthening the control of their own ship merchants."

The meeting room fell silent, as if everyone was thinking of a way to restore the balance of power between the two parties without exposing themselves too much.

The old man in black robe glanced at Antonio and said, "Your Highness, it's time to use our own water power, and send a message to Edward. Ever since he saw the greatness of Alpha, he has bowed to us."

Antonio only thought for a moment before agreeing to his suggestion, "Okay, let Edward go out and deliver the necessary food and weapons to Giles."

The prince's voice paused, his blue eyes flickered, and everyone was listening attentively to his next words.

"Order him to seize the opportunity to harass the coastal areas of the Aldo Kingdom, especially the territories directly under the royal family."

Aldrich on the side frowned, alas, His Highness's heart is getting harder and harder, but this kind of determination is also a necessary tool on the road to the king.

The hoarse voice of Pa Pa Pa Pa clapped his hands and said with a sarcasm, "Quack, the big pirate leader is doing his old job again. But Your Highness, let's turn our attention to China." , that elder brother of yours seems not to be very peaceful recently, don't you have any ideas yourself?"

Antonio didn't look at him, he knew what the other person was talking about.

The others felt a little dissatisfied, this guy's tone was too disrespectful in front of His Highness. The old man in black coughed, reminding the other party to be careful.

The hoarse voice continued, "Your Highness, do you still have the innocence before, imagining that the two brothers can coexist peacefully? Hmph, please remember my words, Oliver Griffin, this is definitely the biggest obstacle for your first move. It’s better to start early than to start”

Antonio put his fingers on the table and tapped lightly, and the hoarse voice stopped immediately.

"I'll take care of this myself"

An uncompromising gaze was projected on the master with a hoarse voice, and the other party lowered his head, "Yes, Your Royal Highness."

"The Next Topic"

After the meeting ended, everyone left the room one after another. The old man in black robe stopped the hoarse voice owner, and said in a deep voice, "You are too rude in front of His Highness Antonio today."

"Hehe," the hoarse voice retorted, "I'm just helping him grow up quickly. Sooner or later, he will have to recognize the reality."

"And have you forgotten that the Aldo royal family is the in-laws of the Dias family, attacking Aldo is attacking our Highness Dias, he has always known what he needs and what to do to get what you need."

After hearing these words, the old man in black robe fell silent.
