They needed someone to keep them in check to maintain the peace.

Sir Rex started to think about the two powers that would take shelter within the free city.

He knew a Roan Kingdom�s person would take charge of the new Magic Tower while it seemed reasonable that the alcoholic Alchemist Rei Stecker would lead the Alchemists� Bell Tower.

�In the end, Mr. Rei Stecker is one of young master Cale�s, no, one of the Roan Kingdom�s people.�

Rex�s pupils started to shake

��The Roan Kingdom�s influence will be strong even after removing your hands from the city twenty years later.�

Cale started to smile. He then calmly started to explain.

�Conquering territory is not the only way to expand your territory.�

The Roan Kingdom�s territory would become a bit larger for twenty years.

There were three things the Roan Kingdom wanted during that time.

Strength, people, and control.

�The Northern Kingdoms and the Jungle have a lot of territory.�

The three Northern Kingdoms and the Jungle had significantly larger territories compared to the other kingdoms. The Jungle especially had land that was multiple times the size of the Empire�s territories.

�But nobody fears or respects them. However, the Empire was different.�

There were many places around the Western continent that feared and respected the Empire.

�That is because the Empire had a lot of strength, lots of people connected to them, and worked as the control tower.�

That was how the Empire had been until now.

That was the Empire of the past.

Sir Rex started to think about the future.

A new place came to mind to replace the Empire.

The Roan Kingdom.

Those two words kept popping up in his mind.

Their goal was not to expand their territory for twenty years.

They were aiming for what the Roan Kingdom would achieve in twenty years. JrNovels.com
