Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1270 1242. Approaching
He put away the letter from Dudu and put the envelope down.

In Lan's brain, Mentos was processing the various new information easily and methodically.

About the hidden operation and allocation of funds, the intelligence compilation about the Dark Alley Gang, and the future actions of Sakia and his gang in the peasant uprising in Aedirn.
These things were not difficult for him to think about.

It was not unimaginable for him to control an organization, support an organization, or even use an organization to defeat a country in a step-by-step and planned manner.

In fact, he can be said to have more 'experience' than anyone else in the world.

The Emperor's Children always pursue "perfection", although Lan always controls this impulse to a non-obsessive level.

But he still had to admit that the memories of those Emperor's Children were indeed of great help to him.

In the age when the Imperium of Man was expanding and conquering the stars, the Emperor's Children were impeccable in terms of combat power and versatility, though their numbers were relatively sparse.

And because of the small number of personnel, they fully utilized their advantages in "diplomacy and communication".

They don't fight mechanical battles; when they want to take control of a planet, they use diplomatic skills to penetrate deep into the planet.

Divide, suppress, and win over. This set of procedures, combined with the already powerful combat capability of the Emperor's Children and the fleet stationed in outer space, makes them basically invincible.

Now, Lan En has access to funds and a gang that gathers intelligence, and is currently supporting a violent organization in a foreign country to participate in the peasant uprising.
The demon hunter couldn't help laughing, and for a moment he even felt that he looked a little familiar.

But there is only one thing: it is different from the object that makes you feel 'familiar'.

Lan En did these things not to expand his own interests or influence, he just wanted to make sure that he was doing the right thing.

"The main persons responsible for this matter will be you and Stuart."

Lan held up the replaced letter and shook it, looking at Lincoln.

“This is what I decided to do.”

"That is what we are determined to do, my Lord. We have discussed this long ago and there is no objection."

Before Lan could finish, Lincoln calmly interrupted.

And look at each other seriously.

Lan shrugged.

"That's right, so the main person in charge must be our people. Aretuza will help secretly in this process, but he will not bear any responsibility, you understand."

"I completely understand, my Lord."

Lincoln agreed without hesitation.

Margarita frowned slightly and wanted to say something, but Tishaya's hand was across her.

This sorceress, who was the real boss of Aretuza based on seniority, looked at Lan En solemnly.

That gesture showed that her role at this point no longer represented herself.

"This is indeed in line with our consistent cooperation style. The academy will fulfill the agreement, and the specific content of this agreement will be limited to a very small number of people. This will involve the academy's finance department and magic props department."

Tishaya listed several departments in Aretuza College in a clear and orderly manner, and did not follow the word "etc."

This clearly defines the scope of authority and those who are aware of it, leaving no room for ambiguity, and only the managers of these departments will actually be involved.

This is enough.

Lan En needs this cooperative attitude.

"You not only have to help them, but also supervise them." The demon hunter turned his gaze back to Lincoln.

"We hate racial oppression, so we help Sakia and make her simple and empty ideals a reality and feasible."

"But she will definitely have many non-human races under her command. Those non-human races have been hurt and are full of hatred. They don't want equality, they just want revenge madly."

"We can't let this situation spread unchecked. After all, we agreed with Iorveth when we first started talking that if we want a promising future, we must make sacrifices."

"That is, to control the scope of hatred and revenge."

"Their emotions may become obstacles to their own path, and if I am not here at that time, I hope that the Embers Knight who is in charge of supervision can give them an 'education'."

The wording was euphemistic, but everyone present understood its meaning.

There was a bloody taste in that meaning.

Actions taken to resolve racial issues cannot themselves lead to the expansion of hatred, right?

This requires restrictions.

"We need force."

Lincoln said calmly.

"The Knights of Embers currently have the highest combat power when they are organized. But according to what you said, we cannot officially show up, at least not for quite a long time."

“This requires us to have sufficient force even when we are outnumbered.”

This force does not allow the Embers Knights to just go up and chop people when the non-human soldiers on Sachia's side go crazy.

Sakia and Iorveth were both rational people, which Lan had confirmed in previous conversations.

They also don't want to expand the hatred, so of course they will follow the agreed rules.

Lincoln naturally knew that their role at that time would be equivalent to that of an inspector.

The 'force' he was talking about was the force he used in his daily life and behind the scenes to ensure that he would not be 'accidentally killed' by others after enforcing the rules in public.

It is easy to imagine that the inhuman race, full of hatred, would form gangs and want to kill a human who is in the way of the team. "Speaking of which, I do have good news."

Lan tilted his head and looked at Lincoln.

"I have made some progress on what you've been thinking about."

As he spoke, Lan raised his chin towards Tishaya.

The sorceress took out three carefully preserved plant seeds from her space expansion pack and placed them on the table.

As soon as Lan En revealed the secret, Lincoln couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"You mean"

He stared at the three kinds of plant seeds on the table with burning eyes.

Is this the hope that will allow them to overcome the [Trial of Green Grass] and make their lives more resilient?
"This alchemical formula has not been tested for its effect on the Trial of Grass, and it is also difficult to manufacture. It must be cultivated from raw materials."

Lan En spread his hands.

“But there’s a lot to look forward to, isn’t there?”

"If these herbs are really feasible," Lincoln stared at the table with burning eyes, "then these things will be the most important products in the Knights!"

But Tishaya ignored the young knight's gaze and took the plant seeds on the table back.

"But I can't give them to you to breed, at least not until I've confirmed they won't cause species invasion."

"Species. What?"

Lincoln looked puzzled.

Although he was considered a well-read intellectual even among the knights, the world had not yet developed enough ecological knowledge.

He couldn't quite understand the word.

"It doesn't matter." Lan En shook his head. "Just think of these plants as risky and let a professional wizard take care of them."

After a conversation, Lan En had sorted out many things that happened in the Magical Middle Ages after they were teleported away and began to deal with the body of the Lord of the Mist Nest in an urgent manner.

He only had to coordinate a few things, and the arrangements and plans could proceed step by step.

After completing the face-to-face report and giving the order, Lincoln will leave Aretuza on the same day and return to High Hill Castle to bring the order to the Knights of Embers.

The ten honorary swordsmen who had traveled with Lan before had returned to the team after the body of the Lord of the Mist Nest disappeared, and began to teach Lan's swordsmanship to the rest of the Knights according to their duties.

Therefore, the long-awaited busyness began within the Embers Knights.

Furthermore, they will have to follow orders and provide support and supervision to Saskia and his men far away in Aedirn. The energy and mobility required for this task are not something that an ordinary knight order can undertake.

What's more, in terms of size, they are just a small knight group with no more than sixty members.

However, neither Lan En nor themselves had ever doubted whether they were capable of completing the task.

After the conversation, Lan En did not stay with Margarita, who was already looking at him with a frown.

Tishaya used the excuse that it was broad daylight and working hours, and pulled Margarita to start talking about how she was forced to temporarily give up magic in the New World, but was able to devote herself to theoretical research and made great progress.

Tishaya always felt that her strength compared to others only came from self-discipline and time, and Margarita had talents that surpassed her.

Therefore she had high hopes for this student.

I hope that my own experiences and discoveries can be validated and advanced by Margarita’s talent.

So I couldn't wait to take this outstanding graduate to continue teaching.

And Lan En also has his own things to do.

He turned and began to walk towards the lower levels of Aretuza, aiming for the secret cave.

As Tishaya made progress, she gained a deeper understanding of the Elven Beacons, as well as a better understanding of the tides of chaotic magic that drove the rifts at the intersection of the celestial spheres.

Her calculations have become more and more accurate.

The time for the celestial conjunction rift to open is indeed approaching.

This is why Lann arranged all the support and supervision tasks for Aedirn for the Knights of Embers in one go, but he himself was unable to intervene.

He must devote himself to more important work.

He certainly took racial oppression and resistance very seriously, but if something went wrong at the other end of the celestial intersection, it would most likely not just be a problem of a single race.

Walking down the reef corridor, the sound of waves coming from outside the half-open cave.

But under the isolation of magic, there was no discomfort caused by the dampness.

The furniture is still simply arranged.

The fluff ball has been here for a long time. It is holding its two little paws and looking carefully at the long display cabinets against the wall, weighing what to bring more on the next adventure.

Lan En felt good to see that it had its own ideas.

With the current physical condition of the fluff ball, he was actually prepared to teach it the technique of fighting.

After all, this is the home of the Flannel Ball, and it’s a traditional technique for hunting cats.
