<h4>Chapter 405: Lord’s Comint</h4>


    He was also the chief advisor under King Beichen. Ever since Ulysses was born, he had volunteered to be Ulysses’ teacher.


    King Beichen thought that this would destroy the bnce of power between his sons, but Strachey insisted.


    He even made the decision to resign if he did not agree, forcing King Beichen to make concessions and hand Ulysses over to Strachey for education and training.


    When Ulysses turned eighteen, Strachey, as King Beichen’s chief advisor, was seconded to Ulysses as his administrative officer.


    Ulysses’ reputation and more than half of his strength had been blessed by his teacher.


    This had also led to Ulysses’ rise among King Beichen’s sons.


    It directly affected the originally stable Moores’ right of inheritance, causing King Beichen a headache.


    In recent years, King Beichen had been gued by illness, but he did not recuperate well.


    Instead, he began to indulge in sensual pleasures. He probably felt that he did not have much time left, so he indulged in his pleasures.


    As a result, his health became worse, and his confidence began to drop.


    It was to the extent that he started to be suspicious of his sons. He even suspected that one of his sons wanted to kill him and usurp the throne.


    Among them, the one he was most afraid of was Ulysses.


    There were a few times when the King Beichen almost wanted to kill Ulysses. It was all because of Strachey’s mediation.


    That was why he gave up on the King Beichen’s idea. It was precisely because of this kind of rtionship.


    Therefore, Ulysses and Strachey, who were called ‘master and disciple,’ were actually like father and son.


    “Teacher, what’s the matter?”


    Seeing Stracheye out to wee him, Ulysses looked a little strange.


    “The distant mountain lord of the Union of Immortal Economic Cooperation has sent news,” Strachey replied.


    “Union of Immortal Economic Cooperation?”


    Ulysses ran through his mind and finally remembered.


    “It’s from the third province, right?”


    “Yes.”


    “I don’t have much contact with the Union of Immortal Economic Cooperation. As for the distant mountain lord, that’s even more...”


    Ulysses was a little lost.


    “He told us that the people of the East God alliance had upied the city of a Lord of the Alliance.”


    “The East God Alliance?” Ulysses raised his eyebrows. “Who?”


    “It’s Princess Allie.”


    “Allie? Her beggar fleet? They couldn’t even stop a small pirate fleet. They were even tied up. How could they still take over the colony star?”


    Ulysses pondered for a moment and asked, “What city is this? Is it a new vige? The walls haven’t been built yet?”


    “This city is called ‘Holy City of Beauty.’ It’s the most heavily defended city in the Alliance.”


    As Strachey spoke, he had already pulled out the map of the third province.


    “Here...”


    Strachey stretched out his hand and pointed at the location of the said city.


    Soon, they saw a city appear in front of them.


    Around the city were all sorts of data about the city.


    As one of the people who valued intelligence the most in the Empire, Ulysses had been fully developing spies ever since he had obtained his main city at the age of fourteen.


    To this day, the level of spies in his hands was quite high.


    These spies helped him to scout around the entire empire.


    This information would eventually be gathered in Ulysses’ hands and be part of his intelligence database.


    It was also because of this that Ulysses was able to know the world like the back of his hand without leaving his house.


    After skimming through the data of this city, Ulysses was even more confused.


    He asked Strachey in disbelief, “How did Allie conquer this city?”


    “Princess Allie conquered this city with the help of the Grizzly Pirates,” Strachey replied.


    “What?” Ulysses was even more confused.


    “Wasn’t she kidnapped by the Grizzly Pirates? Why would the Grizzly Pirates help her fight?”


    “This is the reason why the distant mountain lordined to you. Princess Allie hired the Grizzly Pirates under your name to help her conquer this city.”


    Strachey exined the whole story to Ulysses.


    After hearing it, Ulysses was stunned.


    “Who...who came up with this battle n? I want to see him.”


    Hearing Ulysses’words, Stracheyughed.


    “Your reaction is also within this person’s expectations...Princess Allie also sent a message to see you.”


    “Princess Allie also sent a message... Heh, no wonder teacher knows so much. I think these details were ryed to you by Princess Allie, right?”


    “That’s right.”


    “Princess Allie is a battle-type person. Such a genius and cold-blooded n is definitely not something she can do.”


    “Of course. But Princess Allie said that she’s already on her way.”


    “In half a month, she will arrive at Ulysses and exin everything to you in person. However, as a condition, you must guarantee the safety of the Holy City of Beauty during the month that she travels back and forth.”


    “Allie has a capable person under her.”


    Ulysses pped his hands and asked Strachey.


    “In your opinion, what do you think I should do?”


    “Someone who cane up with such a n is definitely not a nobody.”


    “I don’t believe that such a person would be willing to assist Allie. Therefore, I believe that he either has a far-reaching plot of his own, or he intentionally did something shocking to attract her attention. If it’s the former, then we must kill him without hesitation. The world is currently in the midst of a great war. Just by looking at his actions this time, if such a person allows him to be a force to be reckoned with, he will sooner orter be a disaster for you, who cares about the entire empire. And if it’s thetter, then no matter what kind of high position you give, no matter what price you have to pay, you must take him into your pocket.”


    “Yeah, I think so too... All right.”


    “Regarding the distant mountain lord, reply that I’m in the senate for an important meeting and can’tmunicate with the outside world. We can’t confirm this matter. Please don’t act rashly for now and wait for me toe back before giving him a reply.”


    Just as Ulysses decided to reply like this, Allie was already on such a ship heading towards Ulysses’ main city.


    “Is the city really going to be okay?”


    Even though she had asked this question many times in the past day, Allie could not help but ask again.


    “What do you mean?”


    “There are so many people in the city. Can Morton and the others really handle it?”


    “Even if you stay there, you won’t be of much help, so you don’t have to think about it.”


    At this point, Lei Luo seemed to feel as if he had gone a little overboard.


    He added, “Don’t worry. Morton will arrange everything properly.”
