Chapter 460: Chapter 353 - Don’t Conscript Me Anymore_3

Everyone in the Imperial Court is selfish, including the King, and lacks far-sightedness and insight.

Before the Eagle Demon was exiled, there were already two factions in the Nine Witch Demon Court. One faction was fanatical about destroying the Wood Dynasty and unifying the Eastern Continent, restoring the glory of the Demon Clan from the past. However, it is all talk, without considering if the Nine Witch Demon Court has the strength to do so. It feels as if shouting out loud and recklessly initiating wars could help them achieve their grand goal, which their ancestors could never accomplish.

The other faction believed that the present situation was good, and having a buffer between them and the Wood Dynasty would allow them to live comfortably and enjoy their lives. They wanted even more human slaves to do all their work for them and enjoy their lives even more.

It was difficult to find wise individuals among these two factions. It seemed to be an opportunity for the Eagle Demon, as long as he could return to the core of the Demon Court and have Owen Bertram support him, it should not be difficult for him to rise to a high position.

As for bribing relevant personnel to transfer him from the Spirit Fruit Garden, if the Eagle Demon didn’t have money, Owen Bertram did.

However, Owen Bertram had dismissed this option after considering it. The Eagle Demon’s memory was filled with mediocrity in the court—though occupying high positions, they couldn’t be simple people. Lower people often underestimate the heroes of the world due to their limitations, and at this point, Owen Bertram has learned his lesson and decided not to underestimate anyone.

Moreover, his Spirit Seed was hidden inside the Eagle Demon, and there must be powerful beings in the Nine Witch Demon Court. If they were to see through him, all their efforts would be in vain.

Owen Bertram thought of another method: remain hidden in the Spirit Fruit Garden and develop the area, seizing enough benefits. Then, he could secretly support the factions in the court without making an appearance, which would be much safer.

This approach would take longer, but Owen Bertram was not in a hurry. All he needed now was to know the inside story of the Nine Witch Demon Court and that wouldn’t be difficult.

As for how to develop the Spirit Fruit Garden, Owen Bertram was not worried; he had plenty of Pseudo-Gold Soil, Elder Brother’s biological fertilizer, and many Spiritual Medicines and Spirit Plant seeds, which would be enough to manage the Spirit Fruit Garden properly.

Owen Bertram decided on this strategy and immediately put it into action. He cleaned the "mud and sand" from Julian Gourd’s area, selected some seeds, and sent them to the border of the Nine Witch Demon Court using a teleportation talisman.

The Eagle Demon’s Spirit Fruit Garden was not far from the border, and he would go to pick it up himself.

After completing these tasks, Adonis Dunn’s Communication Talisman arrived, and he asked with a deep tone, "Is this true?"

"Absolutely!"

Adonis Dunn was silent for a long time, then said agonizingly, "During my many years in the court, I have encountered countless difficulties, but never before have I felt so powerless as this time!"

Owen Bertram was very understanding of the old master. The first step was to negotiate with the Demon Clan and then raise a large amount of funds to set up a new army. Either of these steps would be extremely difficult for the present Wood Dynasty.

If only the first step didn’t go well, it could result in disaster if it leaked any information, and even the extermination of their entire race!

Owen Bertram felt sympathy for Master Dunn, and after hesitating for a long time, he still couldn’t help but say, "I have an informant in the Demon Clan who may be able to provide some internal information. This might be helpful for the negotiation."

Adonis Dunn didn’t ask further about the informant but said gratefully, "Fortunately, there are people like you and Master Lane to assist me. It gives me hope for the Wood Dynasty."

He paused and then let out a bitter laugh, "Sometimes I feel that there are not enough people like you and Master Lane. Some have the ability but are selfish, caring only about their own interests and gains.

Others are loyal but lack the ability to handle important matters, so we can’t trust them ...."

Owen Bertram quickly sensed Lord Dunn’s intentions and yelled, "Master, you must be fair. This matter of the informant in the Demon Clan is so important that I have shared it with you, so you can’t let me deal with the Red Race in the South, right?"

Adonis Dunn’s face turned red as Owen Bertram exposed his intentions without any hesitation. He forced a laugh, "You’re really not a traditional good subordinate, always making your superiors embarrassed."

Adonis Dunn had truly intended to do so. He was already aware of the loan agreement between the Summit Command Office and Topeka Hall, impressed by how this youngster had solved such a difficult situation in just a few moves.

With that money, the Copper Gorge Defense Line, although not impenetrable, would at least have some structure. If anything happened in Copper Gorge, it would be able to withstand the attack and buy enough time for the court.

Owen Bertram had also managed to improve the court’s Large-scale Magical Instruments, and the performance was excellent. He even fooled several elite artificers from the Military Equipment Department into following him wholeheartedly. The whole department was anxious as these artificers went everywhere to join that youngster as a family member ...

If they kept following Owen Bertram’s plan, they could have a solid foundation, and they just needed a steady person to be in charge. Owen Bertram would be better off being dispatched to the southern border, like putting good steel to the best use.

However, he was seen through by Owen Bertram, who flatly refused the proposal.

Owen Bertram was still blunt, "That’s because my superiors can’t give me enough benefits. Others get to drink and eat meat with the boss, but I’m the one who has to work hard without support. I have to find the solutions myself ..."
