At the top of the hall, the Black Duke, with his hands behind his back, smiled coldly and said indifferently, “In this way, even if the other party currently occupies such a vast territory, in a few days, they will undoubtedly die.”

“How exactly should we move? Please enlighten me, sir.”

Great Prince’s gray eyes, full of malicious energy, brightened as he asked with great interest.

“Your Highness, as I’ve just said, the best time to deal with the Lord of Cyan City and the Fifth Princess is while their footing remains unstable.”

With his hands behind his back, the Black Duke strode slowly in the hall, continuing, “As for the so-called simultaneous internal and external attack, we need to start from two aspects.”

“Internally, we must do everything possible to intensify the conflicts between the new citizen class in various cities and the Fifth Princess, causing continuous clashes between the two, making the enemy fall into chaos without a fight.”

“According to the latest intelligence, the Lord of Cyan City has captured at least three corps of surrendered soldiers, and along with the city garrisons conscripted from the Mountain Fortress, their forces have nearly reached the size of five corps. For the Lord of Cyan City, with his limited power, it is undoubtedly a ticking magic bomb.”

“As a result, they will surely try to eliminate this extremely unstable factor quickly. According to my deduction, there are only three methods: massacre, imprisonment, or forced labor. No matter which method they use, it would provide us with an opportunity to capitalize on.”

“After all, the naive Fifth Princess advocates for the restoration of the original status of free farmers, which will inevitably collide with the new citizen class who are actually benefiting from the current situation.”

The Black Duke’s tone was calm, but it was filled with deadly intent: “Considering the heavy loss that the new citizen class has suffered during the battle, they already harbor resentment towards the Fifth Princess, the so-called victor. The situation, naturally, goes without saying.”

“Worthy of being a sir, you make a good point!”

Great Prince immediately understood and said coldly, “For this prince, these lowly people, even if divided into different classes, are nothing more than a group of unimportant pawns. Using them as tools couldn’t be more suitable!”

“Hehe, your Highness, what you said is absolutely true.”

Sebel, who had almost been scared to death, quickly chimed in, seizing the opportunity: “With just a little manipulation, those lowly people will undoubtedly surrender their lives to your Highness! What is even more ridiculous is that they will be counting the Gold Dragon coins they’ve earned you even while being sold.”

“Hehe, Minister Sebel grows wiser by the day. With such a capable advisor as Your Excellency assisting the Crown Prince, seizing the throne is just a matter of time.”

The Black Duke first complimented Sebel flatly, then turned to the Crown Prince and said, “Your Highness, as long as the Lord of Cyan City and the Fifth Princess are in turmoil, they’ll be no different from fish on a chopping board.”

“I totally agree with this strategy, and we must develop a detailed plan later.”

The Great Prince nodded thoughtfully and spoke to the Black Duke again, “Sir, aside from internal factors, regarding the external aspect you mentioned, that means gathering our forces and launching a counterattack when the enemy is too preoccupied to defend themselves, right?”

“Your Highness, that’s exactly it.”

The Black Duke stopped walking, gracefully bowed, and said, “However, there are two issues that cannot be ignored.”

“Sir, you’re referring to the Second and Fourth Princes, aren’t you?”

The Great Prince’s brow furrowed again, as he said with a menacing look, “I underestimated those two before, especially the secretive Second Prince. I never expected that he would also have the assistance of a Tier 5 Powerhouse. It seems that his previous decline was just a deliberate weakness after all. Fortunately, I didn’t let my guard down.”

“Your Highness is wise. However, please don’t worry, even though the whereabouts of the White Knight are unknown, I am still here, and my strength is not something that the likes of the White Knight could match.”

The Black Duke maintained his respectful posture and waved his hand, saying, “Currently, the Second Prince has gradually risen to the surface, and after this battle, he has suffered heavy losses as well. However, what truly worries us is the Fourth Prince, the one who has been truly hiding his capabilities.”

“Indeed, my mysterious and dark fourth brother, who is usually secluded, even I have only met him a few times. Yet he was able to fight against the strong warriors under my command evenly. Even the loyalists captured by him all chose self-destructing deaths without leaving any traces.”

Great Prince snorted coldly, showing a murderous intent, “Recently, this Fourth Prince has also started to lie low, clearly adopting a spectator’s stance in this conflict. We must indeed be cautious.”

Pausing for a moment, the Great Prince then furrowed his brows and said, “I completely understand your point, sir, although I don’t want to say this, the entire Kingdom of Coldflame is now in a state of four factions competing for the throne. How should we, in such a complex situation, eliminate the Lord of Cyan City?”

Upon hearing the Great Prince, Minister Sebel seemed to understand and said, “In this case, if our army moves rashly, both the Second and Fourth Princes will
