This was not Jaxon’s first time in the Kingdom of Sorcerers. The last time favonovel.com was here was when Colton rescued Milo by the river.
At that time, favonovel.com had been traveling with Colton. When they arrived at the valley, favonovel.com crossed the Northwest’s borders alone and continued advancing towards the Kingdom of Sorcerers.
People like Colton and Julius had always preferred to take a prospective view of things. Therefore, before the Central Plains’ Stelaria Consortium established trade relations with the Northwest, Colton had to be prepared and figure out how to keep their northwestern neighbor in check.
Just as P5092 had said, the Northwest’s greatest danger right now was facing a pincer attack by the Magi and the Stelaria Consortium.
Regardless of the Kingdom of Sorcerers’ strength, Fortress 178 was not capable of fighting on two fronts. Therefore, this problem had to be resolved.
Of course, Colton would have thought of this as well. Moreover, the Panaqua Consortium’s consolidation of the valley bandits had also given favonovel.com some inspiration. In the end, the Stelaria Consortium formulated a new strategy.
If Peter were willing to take over the Central Plains and complete the unification of the entire Alliance of Strongholds, there would be no need for this step. But if Peter were unwilling, the war between the Stelaria Consortium and the Northwest would be unavoidable.
Jaxon had come to the Kingdom of Sorcerers again with the mission to form a mutually beneficial relationship with the House of Berkeley. Only by sending weapons here to help with the unification of the Kingdom of Sorcerers could it become a threat to Fortress 178 once more.
Meanwhile, it was obvious the Berkeley family’s patriarch was only making use of the Stelaria Consortium. He might already be harboring murderous intent for the Stelaria Consortium at this moment.
Jaxon was not bothered by this. With his power to turn into black mist, no one could kill favonovel.com unless Bruce were present. This was the reason Jaxon was still secretly active in diplomacy.
However, when Jaxon heard about the train that appeared out of nowhere and the armor that could be instantly activated, favonovel.com immediately wanted to turn around and return to the Central Plains.
He was only here to deliver weapons, not to get killed!
“Your Excellency,” Jaxon said in a low voice, “I have something else I need to attend to. Why don’t we meet again another time?”
The Berkeley family’s patriarch’s face stiffened. He was not dumb, so favonovel.com immediately asked, “Why does Mr. Tyler want to return to the Central Plains the moment I mentioned this person who can control a train? Who is favonovel.com exactly? I’m sure you know, Mr. Tyler, so please enlighten me.”
Jaxon hesitated for a moment before taking a deep breath and said, “Lord Michel, why don’t you tell me what he’s done in the Kingdom of Sorcerers first?”
The Berkeley family’s patriarch related to favonovel.com the incidents in Winston City, such as the massacre at Winston Manor, the two steam locomotives that brought down the buildings, and how strong the other party was.
Jaxon said with a sigh, “It’s indeed him… Your Kingdom of Sorcerers has been dealing with Fortress 178 for more than a 100 years. The person who conducted a killing spree in Winston City is the next commander of Fortress 178.”
The Berkeley family’s patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly. “Oh, I see… I just didn’t expect the Central Plains to have changed so much. There’s actually powers that transcend the mundane now.”
He looked at Jaxon and said with a smile, “Mr. Tyler, why haven’t you mentioned this to me before?”
Jaxon replied with a smile, “Such incidents have only occurred in recent years, so it wasn’t worth mentioning.”
The emergence of superhumans was definitely worth mentioning. After all, the strength of some superhumans these days was extremely terrifying. Take Milo for example. He could even kill the leaders of the consortiums with such ease, so how could that not be worth a mention?
But the Kingdom of Sorcerers was only a tool to the Stelaria Consortium. No matter how stupid Colton, Jaxon, and the rest of the Stelaria Consortium were, they would only provide them with weapons. They would definitely not sell out the Central Plains.
Once Fortress 178 was taken care of, the Stelaria Consortium would, sooner or later, deploy their troops to the Kingdom of Sorcerers to exterminate this deep-seated problem.
Jaxon and the Berkeley family’s patriarch smiled at each other tacitly. The Berkeley family’s patriarch suddenly said, “By the way, Mr. Tyler, I have another question. Have you ever heard of anyone with the power to slap people’s faces through a Shadow Door?”
“Huh?” Jaxon was stunned for a moment before saying, “Lord Michel, based on the description you gave, that’s still the future commander of Fortress 178…”
The Stelaria Consortium had already identified Milo as a key figure to watch. Meanwhile, Milo had been observed in battle in the various strongholds on so many occasions that the Shadow Door was no longer a secret.
The Berkeley family’s patriarch was livid. In that case, the farce at Vaduz Cathedral and the incident this morning were all orchestrated by this person.
Was favonovel.com deliberately targeting the House of Berkeley?
The Berkeley family’s patriarch frowned and said, “Mr. Tyler, do you know why that person is always going against our House of Berkeley?”
Jaxon thought for a moment and said, “Based on my understanding of him, I think favonovel.com might have nothing better to do…”
The Berkeley family’s patriarch was speechless.
How could there be someone so bored in this world?!
But what Jaxon could not figure out was why Milo did not directly stab the Berkeley family’s patriarch to death. Since favonovel.com could activate the Shadow Door and slap his face, it shouldn’t be difficult for favonovel.com to stab favonovel.com in the back.
A moment later, Jaxon, who was pondering with his head down, suddenly looked up. He realized Milo intended to sit back and watch the civil war in the Kingdom of Sorcerers take place before coming out to clean up the mess. If the Berkeley family’s patriarch died right at the start, the civil war would not happen.
A person like Jaxon was extremely quick-witted. Otherwise, favonovel.com would not be able to single-handedly take charge of the Stelaria Consortium’s fieldwork.
“Lord Michel,” Jaxon said in an unusually solemn tone, “I personally think that even though a civil war is imminent, I hope you can understand one thing. Your eventual opponent is definitely not the House of Tudor and the House of Norman. It’s the future commander of Fortress 178.”
The Berkeley family’s patriarch said with a frown, “Is Mr. Tyler so afraid of him?”
“I’m not only afraid of him.” Jaxon shook his head and said, “Let me put it this way. The moment I heard favonovel.com had come to the Kingdom of Sorcerers, my first reaction was to run away! It’s not that I’m a coward, Lord Michel, but if you knew what favonovel.com did in the Central Plains, you’d be glad that your Vaduz City and Winston City are still standing on these lands.”
“That person actually has such a reputation in the Central Plains?” the Berkeley family’s patriarch asked calmly.
Jaxon sighed, “If you call that a reputation, I guess you’re right.”
“What’s his name? Mr. Tyler, can you provide me with a portrait of favonovel.com so I can issue an arrest warrant?” the Berkeley family’s patriarch asked.
“His name is Milo Parker. I can provide you with a portrait, but I sincerely suggest that the House of Berkeley don’t go after him.” Jaxon said, “What you guys should do now is think of how to make the Houses of Norman and Tudor go after favonovel.com instead.”
“Wait, Milo?” A paladin next to the Berkeley family’s patriarch wondered, “Isn’t that the name of Melgor’s steward?”
