�I will immediately gather the team to dispatch to the Dubori territory.�
�Captain-nim.�

The administrator in charge of diplomacy started to speak.

�Please don�t start the investigation right away; first stay at the Dubori territory and tell them that the Roan Kingdom will do what the Caro Kingdom is wary of doing. We will make them feel indebted to us. Ah! We will send some people from our side to do that. That should be better, right, your highness?�

Alberu smiled instead of responding and the other administrators started to chime in as well.

�Anyway, these things related to former commander Cale have become much larger than what we have originally discussed with the Caro Kingdom. In the end, young master Cale had to work hard and suffer.�
�That�s right. Young master Cale should receive a reward as well, but we must peck at them that the Roan Kingdom should receive a reward as well. We need to rake in everything we can!�

The capital�s administrator stealthily added on.

�And then we will slowly control it to make the Land of Death ours.�

The other administrators blinked as if they all knew that was the plan without needing to be told.
Alberu Crossman. One of the things his trusted subordinates did the best was controlling public opinion.

The administrators didn�t feel bad for taking this land away because the Caro Kingdom�s citizens hated the desert and nobody lived there.

Furthermore, the Caro Kingdom might welcome that they wanted to take this useless land away instead of asking for a different reward.

�The Caro Kingdom was the first to declare war. As such, they will need to spend a lot of money. They would probably prefer to hand the Land of Death over than to give us money.�

The Commander nodded his head.

�It�s better for us who need it to take it and offer it to the Dark Elves and the necromancer.�

He then cautiously asked Alberu a question.

�Your highness. Then the investigation��?�
�We will dispatch some Dark Elves soon while the knights buy us time.�
�Hooo! You must be planning on having them use the investigation as justification to keep staying there! That�s right. The most important thing is that the Roan Kingdom�s citizens can freely cross that land that has no Caro Kingdom�s citizens!�

The Commander showed an exaggerated response before smiling at the fact that Alberu was not putting any knights in danger.

�If the Caro Kingdom is not willing to give us the land, we must at least ask to use that land for a long period of time.�
�No! If they don�t want to give that land to us, we can ask the Caro Kingdom to pay the price for the Dark Elf-nims protecting them from the dead mana smoke! That way we can let the Dark Elf-nims live peacefully on that land.�
�That sounds good too.�

The administrators exchanged ideas as they quickly came up with a plan.

Alberu who watched all of this from a step away closed his eyes for a moment.
His fists under the table were clenched.
