Many years later, the Empire called this secret meeting between the three giants their first handshake. It was also because of this unprecedented handshake that Lee Xiang's position in the Osman Continent was unparalleled. At his peak, it made those who looked down on him in the entire continent tremble.

At that gathering, Lee Xiang had once mentioned that he wanted to meet Holy Maiden, who had the same skin color as him, but surprisingly, he was rejected by Dewey for a very simple reason.

Because Dewey had never been sure what the real purpose of Holy Maiden coming to Silo Province was. Logically speaking, he should have been sent by Pope Paul. Under normal circumstances, he would not absolutely cooperate with Dewey to put on a show, but the specific situation was not like this. Because not only did she perform according to the previous plan, she was also surprisingly very cooperative. However, this kind of cooperation always made people feel uneasy. Dewey wasn't the only one who had this feeling. Even Lee Xiang and Shaun could sense that something was wrong.

It was worth mentioning that during the God's Grace Day, Lee Xiang saw Holy Maiden from afar. Although it was only a glimpse, it still gave Lee Xiang a stunning feeling.

The degree of her beauty could not be described with words. However, Lee Xiang had never had the chance to meet Holy Maiden alone. Of course, he did not have the time to fool her.

For the next few days after the God's Grace Day, he thought that Duke Ronton would make a move on the chaotic Lower Race that was gathered in the outskirts of the farm. According to his previous plan, the information he got from Shaun shouldn't be wrong.

However, unexpectedly, Ronton did not make a move. He only gave a simple instruction to Li Jun to train the new recruits.

Lee Xiang was a little disappointed because according to his plan, if they were to start after Grace Day, they would be implementing their plan. It was precisely because Ronton had no reaction all this time that they had to postpone their plan.

Lee Xiang thought for a long time before he thought of the problem. It was very simple, because after God Grace Day, Holy Maiden and Lee Xiang's Lower Race appeared at the same time, which directly caused the good impression of the people in Silo Province towards the church to increase. This had to delay Ronton's determination to take care of the Lower Race.

The reason was very simple. If they came out to take care of the Lower Race at this juncture, it would be pushing the Lower Race, which had developed a good impression of the Church, to the side of the Church, or strictly speaking, to the side of Dewey's faction.

Such an outcome was not something the Empire and the Pope wanted to see.

As for his uncle, Smith, to be honest, Lee Xiang had been hesitating all this time. Or, he had been thinking about Dewey and Shaun's suggestions, because if he really wanted to get rid of his uncle's secret plan, This was a bit cruel. No matter what, Smith was still his mother's younger brother. It was normal for him to have this thought, but it would be difficult for him to make up his mind.

However, what happened a few days after the God's Grace Day had made Lee Xiang make up his mind.

The cause of this matter was still the matter of Dewey arranging a few trusted aides to protect Lee Xiang. One thing that needed to be explained was that after the few of them reached an agreement that day, Dewey very generously sent a few Knights who were said to be the top Knights in their church, and two of them were Divine Masters to protect his safety. On the one hand, this action might have the intention of supervising Lee Xiang. Of course, it also showed how important Dewey was to Lee Xiang, because Lee Xiang was a very important person for him to become the Pope.

Of course, these knights were naturally dressed up. They announced to the public that they were some of the guards Lee Xiang had met outside. However, he was almost certain that this matter could not be hidden from Ronton. It was just that everyone had a tacit understanding.

The reason why Lee Xiang was sure that Ronton knew about this matter was because after a few people came to his side, Smith had strongly advised Ronton to cancel Lee Xiang's highest command over the two divisions.

At that time, Ronton had hesitated. After all, the reason he brought Lee Xiang here was to use him to win over the Lower Race, but now it seemed like Dewey had taken advantage of him instead. Such an outcome naturally made him very unwilling to accept it.

However, when Ronton was hesitating, he was strongly opposed by Shaun. His reasoning was very simple. As long as the matter of suppressing the Lower Race was over, Ronton could do whatever he wanted. But now was not the time. This was because Lee Xiang was a crucial part of the empire's plan. In other words, they had to bring the Lower Race division to suppress the so-called chaotic Lower Race.

The one who persuaded Ronton to give up on this idea. There was another person who persuaded Ronton to give up on this idea.

On the third day, when Lee Xiang was patrolling the outskirts of the farm, he encountered an unimaginable attack.

At that time, Ao Guang was by his side, and the few people Dewey had arranged played a decisive role. Despite that, Lee Xiang still suffered a great loss. Not only did the experts that Dewey had arranged suffer a great loss, even Ao Guang had almost suffered a great loss. Fortunately, Bill had received the news at that time. He had sent troops to rescue them midway, otherwise Lee Xiang and the others would have been in great danger. However, there were a few experts who fled to the border of the neighboring country.

This incident had shocked Ronton. First of all, let's not talk about other things. It was not something he could accept just what had happened not far from his Bael City.

Although he didn't get any clues from the captives captured by Lee Xiang and the others, he could sense a subtle change in their skin color.

Because these people were actually the special symptoms of the people of Moose Empire in the neighboring countries, without exception.

There were too many strange things about this matter. Why did the people of the Moose Empire dare to venture into the depths of the Silo Province and attack Baron? How did they get in here?

Smith's reason was very simple at that time. Although there was a large number of troops stationed at the border, one must not forget that there was a trade between the empire and the neighboring countries. These people could totally legally enter the border with the identity of trading and trading.

This explanation seemed very reasonable, but Lee Xiang did not think so. Because he remembered that the people who attacked him in the forest also seemed to be involved with this kind of skin color. And most importantly, these people's strength was not ordinary, they had received professional training. The most important thing was that there were experts among them, and they were definitely experts. Unfortunately, when Bill's reinforcements arrived. . . Otherwise, they would be able to tell whether they were the people of the neighboring country or not.

And based on this point, Lee Xiang even suspected that this matter had something to do with Smith and the Church. This was absolutely possible.

But Ronton believed Smith's explanation, because those who escaped were retreating towards the border of the neighboring country. He didn't even hesitate. He immediately arranged his private army and passed down the empire's order. He ordered the troops stationed at the border to closely monitor the actions of the neighboring countries. At the same time, he also used diplomatic means to denounce the neighboring countries. After all, the assassination of Lee Xiang was a small matter. The glory of the empire was great. In Ronton's opinion, Since the neighboring country dared to cause trouble at this juncture, as the highest commander here, He was duty-bound to fight back. Otherwise, the Empire would not be able to step down. One must know that this matter had already been stirred up.

However, the neighboring country denied the assassination of Lee Xiang, and even accused Ronton of deliberately amassing troops at the border as a provocation.

The direct consequence of this was that all the troops were gathered at the border between the two neighboring countries. The situation was on the verge of breaking out, and it was quite tense. Moreover, it could be predicted that as long as the troops of the two countries gathered at the border were to engage in a crossfire, it would very likely turn into a large-scale war.

In just three short days, the situation in Silo Province had progressed by leaps and bounds. They were in a situation where there were external threats. However, there was one advantage to this. Ronton's private army had all been transferred to the border. Up until now, the only two divisions that had remained in Silo Province were the two divisions with the 10,000 Lower Race in his hands. There were also the few thousand guards of the Duke's Mansion that Kerry had. And these guards were the ones from the private army that had been preparing to retire. Ronton purposely stayed behind because he felt that the Duke's Mansion had been surrounded last time.

To be honest, Lee Xiang didn't know if Ronton was pretending to be confused or really didn't know. However, he was sure that this matter seemed to have a lot to do with his uncle and even the church, because he did not want to forget about it. It seemed that there were still some students and bodyguards of the Pope, Paul, who had yet to show themselves.

Then what was he hiding in the dark for?

It was precisely because of such a sudden event that Lee Xiang made a painful decision.

Lee Xiang had been in the study room all this time and had never left. As for the situation in the division, Ao Guang and his brother would take turns to report to him every day.

On this day, Lee Xiang was in his own courtyard, focusing on trimming the flowers and plants. Under Looh Beier's lead, Shaun walked into the courtyard.

Due to the relationship between the two of them, Lee Xiang waved his hand to let everyone leave because he noticed that Shaun's expression did not look good. According to the agreement between the two of them, if there was anything special that needed to be discussed, it would usually be at Sophie's place. It would be best if they didn't choose to stay in Duke's Mansion.

However, since Shaun came here today, it must be something urgent.

"What's wrong?" After all the servants had left, Lee Xiang looked at Shaun and asked in a low voice.

Shaun's face immediately turned gloomy. He then sighed and said, "I just received the news. My fourth brother will be here soon!"

"What?" Lee Xiang was slightly moved. At the same time, he had a bad feeling. He had suddenly sent another prince at this critical moment. What was the meaning of this? Moreover, the most terrible thing was that the other party didn't want to send Fourth Prince over. One should know that this Fourth Prince still had some feelings for Sophie. This was a question that was worth pondering over.

"If I'm not wrong, he should be on his way to Bael City right now. " Shaun smiled bitterly. The helplessness on his face was obvious.
