Besides, we no longer have a choice, unless everyone is willing to hand over their interests and from here on, be at the beck and call of the old nobility.

In fact, being pack animals isn’t all that great.

They are too greedy, not only wanting us to sell our lives, but also coveting the flesh on our bones.

Rather than sitting around waiting for death, we might as well give it our all.

It’s true the old nobles are strong, but their power is too scattered.

We don’t need to wipe out everyone at once, as long as we take control of the Capital first thing after the action, the rest will be a matter of fragmenting and crumbling the old nobility.

Rest assured, after enjoying so many years of life, even if they are still lions, they are lions clothed in silk and fed on jewels; their combat prowess is no longer at its peak.

After seizing power, we can fully exploit the resources of the entire Kingdom to cultivate our own high-end forces.

…

The enticing advocacy of Viscount Frolov made many waver, and their opposition was no longer so resolute.

“Viscount is right, it’s not difficult for us to initiate a coup now.

The power of the old nobles is scattered across the lands, while our forces are mainly concentrated at sea, fully capable of acting in unison and heading straight for the Capital to catch everyone off guard.

But the coup is just the first step; the real challenge begins after occupying the Capital.

We have to face not just the counterattack of the old nobles, but also international intervention.

Based on past precedents, over eighty percent of military coups eventually led to international meddling.

The other twenty percent of exceptions were due to major changes in international relations, preventing any interference.”

The words of Baron Miklos reawakened everyone’s fears.

International intervention is much more serious than the reaction of the old nobles.

If the Human Alliance deems their coup illegal, that would be the beginning of a disaster.

Other countries wouldn’t even need to send troops; just a “no-sail order” alone could corner them to a dead end.

“About this issue, everyone can rest assured.

The South Continent and Central Continent will soon be in chaos, and then the others won’t have the time to focus on us.

We can wait for the signal and then take swift action.

In the meantime, everyone just needs to find excuses to gather their strength.”

The words of Viscount Catalino made everyone understand at once.

This was clearly well prepared!

If they weren’t personally involved in the planning, how could they possibly know that trouble is about to stir up in the South Continent and Central Continent?

According to the Human Alliance’s modus operandi, they always prioritize continental strategy first.

Even if it’s a Declining Kingdom going through turmoil, it would garner more international attention than the Falcon Kingdom.

Back in the day, the establishment of the Falcon Kingdom mainly arose because the human forces were too weak and lacked confidence in taking continental supremacy.

To preserve the human legacy, they initiated expansion overseas.

The Falcon Kingdom’s precursor consisted of just a few reserve provinces, serving as a strategic rearguard.

It wasn’t until after the collapse of the Empire and the split of the human race that the Falcon Kingdom came into existence.

However, by that time the humans had already seized continental dominance, and the strategic value of the Falcon Kingdom subsequently declined.

Still, they continued to play the role of a strategic rearguard, contributing to the human struggle for supremacy on the Continent.

Only in recent years, as the humans grew stronger and secured strategic victory, has the Falcon Kingdom gradually faded from the continental scene.

Ever since oceanic trade developed, and in order to make a fortune silently, the Falcon Kingdom has been deliberately lowering its profile.

Being low-key went unnoticed, but causing trouble is bound to attract outside attention.

Especially a sensitive event like a “coup”, is most likely to awaken everyone’s memories.

The best choice is to stir up more incidents to distract the attention of various countries, preventing them from focusing on us.

…

The wheels of history roll forward, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed since the Magical Beast Base restarted.

Looking at the numerous pregnant beasts wandering in groups around the breeding base, Hudson was very satisfied.

From the current situation, in a few months there will be a wave of Magical Beast infants, and over a few years, a new Magical Beast Army will emerge.

In fact, some Magical Beasts have already started giving birth, though the proportion is not very high.

Most Magical Beasts have a long gestation period, bird Monsters being the exception.

For example: the Gryphon.

Not long after successful breeding, they laid eggs, which have already hatched.

One must admit the strength of the Giant Dragon’s Bloodline; normally a clutch of Gryphon eggs would at best hatch one or two Gryphons, the rest falling to the level of wild beasts due to insufficient bloodline concentration.

Now, however, they are all Magical Beasts.

The only issue is the sharp decline in the number of eggs laid, far less than before.

But this is a minor issue; with the experience of previous hatchings, we can now gather more eggs and incubate them together.

There are many similar operations, all built on accrued experience.

When it comes to the breeding experience of Sub-dragon beasts, the Mountain Domain has now leapt to the forefront of the Continent.

Mainly thanks to Maxim’s efforts, other Giant Dragons under a Dragon Knight’s limited lifespan could mate at most once, and some never even once.

Mating twice within a few short years is something of legend.

Normally, the only ones able to enter mating season again in a short time are female Dragons.

If there is a desirable female Dragon to entice them, even if they’ve just finished mating, they can quickly start a second spring.
