Chapter 932: Chapter 481: Low-level Military Officer_1

In the capital, tensions mounted in the main hall of the Imperial Court.

On one side were Master Dunn and officials and generals of the Wood Dynasty, and on the other was a representative of the Sixth Great Realm, dressed in traditional attire, accompanied by two attendants. With a stern voice, he fiercely denounced the Wood Dynasty for being despicable, dishonest, and unfaithful. After all, the Northern Continent Envoy had been annihilated in the Wood Capital, even their Saintess had fallen...

The Sixth Great Realm from the Northern Plain once again represented the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region in coming to the capital, immediately adopting a tough stance, demanding huge compensation from the Wood Dynasty. Otherwise, the two nations would inevitably face off in battle!

Master Dunn had already discussed this matter with the Ministry of Revenue, Military Department, and the generals of the Northern frontier. In summary, the Wood Dynasty’s only choice was to avoid war at all costs.

Master Dunn’s reforms were at a critical juncture, the Imperial Court was in deficit everywhere, initiating war with the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region at this time would consume a tremendous amount of resources and could completely ruin the Wood Dynasty’s last bit of fortune!

However, the Northern Region People’s demands were too harsh, and the Wood Dynasty side could not agree to them. As both sides were fiercely arguing, Master Lane, one of the key members of the Wood Dynasty, suddenly vanished from the scene!

As the arguing between both parties came to a halt, everyone understood that an urgent situation must have arisen.

But Master Lane returned in the time it took to drink a cup of tea. The Sixth Great Realm from the Northern Plain, asked angrily, "What is the meaning of this, Master Lane? Leaving in the middle of a meeting, is this how your nation of etiquette treats guests?"

Master Lane smiled slightly, "Indeed, a small matter occurred just now. One of my subordinates, Owen Bertram, just came to show off to me that he had gravely injured a Seventh-Level Realm from the Nanni Nation with a single sword strike. Young people, after all, tend to lack steadiness. They achieve a little success and immediately want to boast in front of their superiors. This kind of attitude must not be encouraged!

So, I went over to give him a bit of a scolding, advising him not to be overly proud and complacent. I also told him to guard the Southern Border with great care, as I might lead an expedition to the North."

The Sixth Great Realm from the Northern Plain suddenly felt nauseous like he’d swallowed a fly, and was unable to speak for a moment.

Today’s "negotiations" ended there, and the Sixth Great Realm from the Northern Plain stormed off. In the court, Master Lane brazenly boasted about his subordinate, with the strength of a Sixth Great Realm, repelling a Seventh Level Realm—an accomplishment almost beyond belief!

The Sixth Great Realm immediately ordered an investigation, and the news spread quickly throughout the Wood Dynasty!

"It’s actually true!" When the Sixth Great Realm received the report, he was stunned and found it difficult to believe. He immediately contacted the Great Chieftain, informing him that the situation had now turned unfavorable for the Northern Region.

Owen Bertram had already proven, with this battle, that he had the ability to single-handedly guard the Southern Border. Master Lane’s comment about "leading an expedition to the North" was no longer an empty threat. With a Seventh Level Realm present, the Northern Plain had no chance of winning this war!

Upon hearing the report, the Great Chieftain’s first reaction was: Are you a damned fool who accepted bribes from the Wood People, trying to deceive me with such outrageous lies?

A Sixth Great Realm defeating a Seventh Great Realm? Can I believe such an absurd lie?

The Sixth Great Realm repeatedly assured him that he was also a trusted confidant of the Great Chieftain, otherwise he would not have been sent to the Wood Dynasty.

"Really?" The Great Chieftain asked again.

"Absolutely!" said the Sixth Great Realm, "Our spies in the Wood Dynasty have already been to the battlefield and confirmed that it was indeed the aftermath of a Seventh Level Realm’s power, while Owen Bertram remained unharmed!"

"Ah—" The Great Chieftain sighed, "Well then, nothing can be done. Try your best to negotiate better terms."

Regarding the destruction of the Saintess Envoy, the Great Chieftain was not actually angry in his heart. The highest-ranking members of the Northern Region knew that the Saintess was a double agent; the Wood People had merely helped them eliminate an "inside traitor." The only disappointment for the Great Chieftain was the failure of the plan to steal the Previous Dynasty Jade Seal.

The annihilation of the envoy was just an excuse to start a war. The Great Chieftain had also noticed the Wood Dynasty’s decline in national fortune. If an opportunity presented itself to take a piece of land from the Wood Dynasty through war, he would not let it slip by.

But now, it seems that this goal cannot be achieved.

...

Since announcing in court that Owen Bertram had defeated a Seventh Great Realm, Master Lane attracted envious congratulations wherever he went. Although he remained outwardly indifferent, his heart was brimming with pride.

With his Seventh-Level heart and mental cultivation, Master Lane constantly reminded himself to stay composed, steady, and avoid becoming conceited!

Owen Bertram was the one he had personally promoted and was his most capable subordinate! Master Lane took pride in his ability to recognize talent and be regarded as the patron of such talents across the world!

It goes without saying that high-ranking officials in the Imperial Court were envious, and even more so were the local generals who were responsible for defending the various regions: Why don’t I have such capable subordinates?

In the following negotiations, the Northern Region People’s attitude softened, and both sides quickly reached an agreement, avoiding a potentially disastrous large-scale conflict.

The Wood Dynasty unexpectedly agreed to reopen border markets, selecting four suitable locations along the border as markets for bilateral trade. The Northern Region People were unaware that this was a secret suggestion put forward by Owen Bertram. However, Owen Bertram made it clear to Master Lane: "The border markets must be controlled and supervised by the Horizon Bureau. Please send capable and honest men to oversee them—if not, corrupt officials and local merchants in the border regions will collude, and the entire Wood Dynasty could be sold out!"

As the "peace talks" in the capital concluded, Owen Bertram had already used his authority to deal with a group of officials in the Southern Border, solidifying the rear for the Flying Bear Army.
