304: Chapter 150: The Truce Between the Wolf and the Flower_3 304: Chapter 150: The Truce Between the Wolf and the Flower_3 “Since the Thorny Flower Family has already taken the initiative by moving south and seizing a county’s worth of land, we’ll likely have a hard time suppressing their rise.

And for this southern expedition, they must have made thorough preparations both within and outside of the Nightmare Forest.

Why not temporarily set aside our grievances and cooperate with the Thorny Flowers, so we don’t wait for the Kingdom Army to assemble—instead, taking a step ahead of everyone else and marching south immediately?” Canis advised his father.

“Farolis taking a county for himself in the south amounts to an ant swallowing a whale; he definitely can’t manage further expansion.

As we push south, our territories will inevitably remain adjacent—eventually, even without forming an alliance, simply not disturbing each other will greatly benefit our next moves.”

Baron Gunnar listened to his son’s counsel and fell into thought, “Cooperate…”

As the Family Head who led the family, Baron Grey Wolf naturally understood the meaning behind his eldest son’s words.

Even without the curse, leading an army through the dense and rugged lands of the Nightmare Forest was no easy task.

An army’s march and supplies required a stable route.

And judging by Eriv’s grandiose words at the meeting, the Thorny Flower family had clearly already constructed a road, and in the forest, there were probably many camps set up as nodes.

This would undoubtedly save a lot of time.

What was most lacking now was indeed time.

But weighing his options, Gunnar shook his head, “We’ve had a longstanding animosity with the Thorns Flower family.

If we were part of the Kingdom’s forces, perhaps General Trosa’s troops and others like them could use the road through negotiation, and maybe that Eriv fellow would allow it.

But if just our family alone asks to borrow their route to journey south, how could he dare to let our army use his road?

And how could I rest easy, letting supply teams travel along the Thorny Flower family’s route?”

The two families were not only non-allies but even had grievances as sworn enemies.

“Why not give it a try, Father?

Opportunity waits for no one.

Right now, I am essentially a hostage held by the Thorny Flower family.

Perhaps Baron Eriv believes he’s got your weakness in his grip and might have the courage to try?”

Canis’s eyes flickered; that Leon hadn’t informed Baron Eriv of his own resurrection as a Wandering Soul.

Now, the Master of Thorns must think he was a bargaining chip in the hands of his vassal.

This might be an opportunity for cooperation between the two families.

All for the Wolf Territory to expand a step faster than the rest.

Suddenly, feeling the pull of the Magic Power on him, Canis stopped talking and looked up.

The people who had been conversing in the distance had dispersed, General Trosa had long returned to his camp, and the silhouettes of Eriv and his entourage were gradually moving farther from the main camp.

All he could see was Leon on his Warhorse, stopped on the open field, casting his gaze from afar as if waiting for Canis to catch up.

If he were to get further away, beyond the range Leon could maintain at present, Canis knew he would turn back into a Magic Card.

“Father, please consider my words.

I should go now,” the Wolf Family Young Master bid his father farewell, resigned.

Baron Gunnar looked up, saw his son’s earnest expression, and became even more acutely aware of the stark reality that his eldest son would have to stay with the rival family for quite some time.

“So soon?

I’ll send you some servants.

Where are you living now?

Maybe I should send Tayana over as well; she could look after you,” suggested Baron Grey Wolf.

“No need for servants, and there’s no need for Tayana to come either.

Let her stay at home and take good care of Little Logan.

With the Thorny Flowers, they haven’t treated me poorly,” Canis quickly shook his head.

What a joke; he usually slept inside that Magic Card.

If his wife came, was he supposed to let her spend her days among the men of the Thorny Flower family?
