33 Planning the Eastern Expedition

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Along with Rollin was the Earl of Mehiounes, who was also one of Rollin's father-in-law.

However, because of the presence of the old Emperor, Rollin only greeted him slightly and did not directly call him father-in-law.

Mehiounes, this father-in-law, was quite reasonable. After all, this was not a suitable occasion to recognize relatives.

After entering the Imperial Palace, the new Emperor brought them to a very secret little room.

There was nothing in the room except a conference table and a few chairs.

After the few of them sat down.

The new Emperor, Jason, began to talk about his Eastern Expedition plan.

This time, the Empire's Eastern Expedition did not stop at taking back Ipswich. Instead, it was a step closer to launching an attack on the two countries in the east!

Upon hearing this plan, Rollin was a little surprised. He did not expect Jason to be so radical.

"Rollin, I think you should know why I specifically called you here!"

"In the entire continent, your Clemente family has the most provisions. The amount of provisions that you provided to support Mehiounes and the Empire last time was probably less than one-tenth of your granary!"

As expected, it was for this matter. Rollin was not surprised. The Empire had always been so tolerant towards Clemente, and the main reason was because of his Uncle North.

In the entire Clemente family's territory, other than the main city, Avilis, all the cities were well-managed.

This was also the reason why even though Rollin had been in decline for so many years, and he did not even participate in the various meetings of the Empire, nothing happened.

"You are the most important member of the Empire. As long as it's a request from my Emperor, I, Duke Rollin Clemente, will definitely bear the brunt of it!"

"No matter how difficult the task is, I will earnestly complete it!"

Hearing Rollin's words, Jason almost collapsed to the ground from laughter.

"Enough! I brought you to this room so that you wouldn't be overly restrained!"

"Go back and learn some etiquette. As the Grand Marshal of the North of the Empire, you can't even speak properly!"

Rollin scratched his head in embarrassment. He was a little embarrassed. After all, he had been studying magic recently and did not have the time to study this at all.

Perhaps a few books on etiquette would be enough to solve this problem when he went back this time.

"Since we have your logistical support, then what's next is the most important thing!"

"The Eastern Expedition this time is imperative. The reason is very simple. The eastern countries actually recruited a Witch to join the ranks of the war this time!"

"I think brother-in-law Rollin knows more about the Witches than I do!"

Of course, it was more than just a lot. He even knew her inside and out. He was just short of eating her and reading her data.

"So this time, I would like to invite you to be the Marshal of the Eastern Expedition Army!"

Upon hearing this, Rollin almost rolled his eyes. What kind of situation was this?

"I didn't even learn how to fight well. You want me to go to war..."

"Have you really thought about it properly?"

The new Emperor, Jason, immediately covered his forehead with one hand and explained, "This time, I arranged for Jeff Brooke him to be the leader of your territory. Where did you arrange him to go?"

Rollin scratched his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Of course I want him to protect Sheryl!"

Hearing this, Jason immediately slammed the table and exclaimed, "Well done!"

"He's the leader of the 12 Knights in the Empire's Knights. You want him to do this?"

Sure enough, the leader of the Knights in the beginning had hidden something from him.

At that time, he said that he was one of the 12 Holy Knights, but he did not tell Rollin that he was the leader. Otherwise, Rollin would not have arranged for him to do such a thing.

Therefore, the new Emperor, Jason, continued to ask, "Where are his two disciples? What are they doing now?"

"They are helping me to lead the army and train the army in Seven Star City. According to the report, they are doing quite well!"

"Yes, you did a good job on this matter!"

"If the two of them are in trouble, you should call out their master!"

"At least before we take back Ipswich, you and he will still be free!"

Everything was decided just like that. The Clemente family was the leader, and the Mehiounes family was the support. The two families went on an expedition together.

The first target was the fallen Ipswich.

After everything was settled, Jason did not ask him to stay for the banquet. Instead, he asked him to do what he needed to do.

This casual attitude made Rollin feel helpless.

Today was the first time he had come to the Imperial Capital in so many years. This casual brother-in-law did not arrange any activities.

After receiving the order from the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Expedition to appoint the Emperor, Rowling directly left the imperial palace and came to pound Gavin's resting place.

This was a very large and luxurious hotel. They were eating in it.

Rollin asked a little and found the private room they were in.

Gavin was relieved when he saw Rollin. Because he had received too much news today, he did not understand what had happened for a moment.

"Young Master, what happened today?"

Rollin immediately told him about the Spring Celebration Ceremony banquet at noon.

Gavin could not help but frown when he heard that. He seemed to have understood something.

"Is it really okay for you to go on the Eastern Expedition?"

"I don't really want to do such a thing, but this time, the new Emperor, Jason, directly sent me to talk to the father-in-law Mehiounes."

"I think he's busy thinking about the plans for the other three new Dukes!"

"His main purpose is not to push us onto the high platform, but to use all of us as guns!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Gavin immediately stopped Rollin from speaking and explained, "Young Master, this is not a good place to talk. We'll talk about it when we get back!"

As he was so engrossed in the conversation that he forgot to be on guard, Rollin cast a detection spell on his surroundings to make sure that there were no problems before he could relax.

"Forget it, forget it, let's eat first! After we get back, I have to have a good talk with Uncle North and the others!"

After eating, Rollin left Gavin alone in the hotel to prepare for his stay.

He turned around and brought Delia and Sabina to the most bustling street in the Imperial City to play.

After all, it was rare for them to come here. If they didn't take a good turn now, they wouldn't be able to come here again until the next time.

However, not long after they strolled around, a familiar figure appeared on top of them.

"Dorothy?" Rollin vaguely saw that the figure was a little similar, but the temperament was completely different.

Delia immediately walked over and said, "Didn't you not come out? Why did you suddenly appear in the Imperial Capital?"
