Chapter 144: Elizabeth's Magical Use.
"Alexia, the people of the Impossible City don't have a good reputation. Even if the Kingdom of Oriana wants to increase its strength, I'm afraid they won't dare to accept it." Alpha reminded.

"Sister Alpha, although Sister Elizabeth's subordinates cannot be accepted in public, they don't need to be, because whether it is an intelligence organization or an assassination organization, these are already shady organizations in various countries, and they don't need to be put in the open. As for herself, hehe.
In addition, the items that Sister Elizabeth brought to the Kingdom of Oriana were the huge funds she would get from the sale of the city's industries. With these funds, plus the financial support of the Kingdom of Oriana, even if they could not temporarily change the attitude of the Kingdom of Oriana towards the magic swordsmen, they could still quickly form the first knight group.

After all, this knight group composed of orcs has long been in our plan, but the master originally planned to form it in the Impossible City, but now it has changed to the Kingdom of Oriana, that's all. Another point is that Senior Rose will need to be the queen in the future, so we really need one of our own to lead the army."

"Master, I also agree with Alexia's suggestion. After all, it is a waste to let Elizabeth stay in the City of Nowhere. Let her people enter the Kingdom of Oriana, and then send a small number of people from the Shadow Courtyard to control the intelligence organization and the assassination organization. We can indeed control the Kingdom of Oriana more quickly." After listening to Alexia's words, Ipsilon immediately agreed and added.

"Boss, I agree. Once the Kingdom of Oriana and the Diabolos Cult have a falling out, they will really need a strong person to take charge. Rather than letting Rose shine, it's better to let Elizabeth step forward," Delta added.

As Delta finished speaking, Gamma looked at her in disbelief.

Although he knew that Reed must have used other people to make up for Delta's shortcomings, Gamma always felt a sense of incongruity at this moment.

"Give up a city and take control of a kingdom? It seems that my vision was a bit narrow at the beginning. Alexia, are these few days enough for you to familiarize yourself with your abilities?" Li De asked Alexia.

"Master, don't worry. Even if I have to use a pile of blood, I will use my endless supply of health power to fully recover the king." Alexia was very confident about this.

"Okay, then let's follow your revised script." Li De decided immediately.

After all, the plan he had formulated did not originally include the intention of having the Kingdom of Oriana and the Kingdom of Bekada engage in a proxy war as described in the original novel.

You must know that after the rest of the holy land of Lindblum was conquered by Lid, the Diabolos Essence that kept the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, the supreme rulers of the Diabolos Order, young, was bound to decrease in production.

When Reed came back, he had evaporated the other arm that was sealed in the Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy. I'm afraid Diabolos' essence will be reduced.

But the amount of essence is less than twelve drops. Can the Diabolos Order still maintain the Twelve Knights of the Round Table?
By then, the Shadow Court won't have to take the initiative to cause trouble for the Diabolos Cult. They will have to fight among themselves first to compete for the essence that maintains youth.

I'm afraid that within a few years, the strength of the Diabolos Cult will be greatly weakened.

You must know that the core attraction of the Diabolos Order to the dignitaries of various countries lies in the seats of the Knights of the Round Table.

To put it bluntly, it's all for the annual share of Diabolos' Essence; power and other things are secondary.

Without this, even if the power of the Diabolos Cult still has some appeal, it is far less than before.

Therefore, there was no need for Li De to deliberately speed up and trigger a proxy war.

This is not about fear of war, but about the complete lack of necessity.

You should know that the Knights of the Round Table of the Diabolos Order gained pseudo-immortality by relying on the essence of Diabolos.

But the immortality of Li De and others is of real value.

Therefore, simply by breaking through the sanctuaries that sealed Aurora's body in various places, Reed could make the Diabolos Cult slowly disappear in history.

Therefore, for Li De, there is really no need for a head-on confrontation.

After all, with Ita's research, at least the sisters in the Shadow Courtyard will have no problem achieving immortality.

So even if it's delayed, you can still drag the opponent to death.

If Li De had no mission to perform, he could also consider speeding up his strategy to conquer the world.

But Li De’s focus is not on this, so for the Kingdom of Oriana, Alexia’s plan is still the most suitable.

Because the most crucial part of Alexia's plan is the use of Elizabeth.

The reason why Alexia laughed when she talked about Elizabeth was because of Elizabeth's special status.

Maybe no one knows Elizabeth now, but what about the Twelve Knights of the Round Table in the Diabolos Order who have lived for thousands of years?

No need to ask, there must be someone among them who knows Elizabeth.

It is precisely because of this that these people would not suspect that the Kingdom of Oriana is related to the Shadow Courtyard.

After all, the Shadow Courtyard that only appeared in recent years could hardly be related to the Bloodthirsty Queen from thousands of years ago.

And because Elizabeth was openly invited by Rose from her former resting place to the Kingdom of Oriana, even if Mordred was later found by Zeta and killed by Elizabeth, the Diabolos Cult probably wouldn't dare to say a word.

You have to know that this is the bloodthirsty queen who slaughtered three kingdoms in three days. If she hadn't committed suicide that year, who could have stopped her?
There might be someone in the Diabolos Cult who could defeat Elizabeth back then, but would they come forward?

It's impossible. Unless Elizabeth shows her intention to destroy this continent or even the entire human race, the Diabolos Cult will never confront the Bloodthirsty Queen for a kingdom.

With the protection of the Bloodthirsty Queen, the Kingdom of Oriana will be as stable as a rock.

After all, without the Diabolos Cult causing trouble, the nobles who knew Elizabeth's true identity would have to stay away from the Kingdom of Oriana.

In this way, the difficult situation of the Kingdom of Oriana in the original work no longer exists.

Once the situation is stabilized, Elizabeth and Rose can take control of the entire kingdom step by step and turn it into another major force in Reed's hands.

"I understand. The rest depends on the financial situation of the Kingdom of Oriana. I don't know if it can meet your needs, my master." Alexia said with a little concern.

"It doesn't matter. We have no shortage of money. I have enough gold to buy the whole world. No matter what the financial situation of the Kingdom of Oriana is like, it will not hinder the plan to form the Knights Templar." Li De said complacently.

"Master, you can't be stingy with me." Alexia immediately took advantage of the opportunity to climb up. After all, the annual pension given by Gamma was given by her to her sister Alice, so she was still a little tight-fisted.

"Okay, you will get what you deserve. I treat my women equally." Li De nodded with a smile.

After saying that, Li De took out a magic bag and taught Alexia how to use it. Then, Li De generously gave Alexia 10 billion rings of gold, a pile of jewelry, and a long sword forged entirely from mithril with divine words.

This kind of long sword was specially made by Li De for several women. Not only is each sword different in style, but the content of the divine text engraved on it is also different. It can be regarded as a specially customized model by Li De.

The sword in Alexia's hand was specially forged by Reed when he was in the Pirate World. Reed originally planned to give it to her as a gift on her next birthday, but he didn't expect that plans would not change quickly.

Now that they have become his own people, Li De naturally has no need to wait until later to send them.

Seeing these pocket money and the new weapons that people can't let go of, Alexia immediately threw herself on Li De, rubbing against him and saying, "Master, I love you so much!"

"Okay, let's talk about the fun later. I'll take you back first." How could Li De not know that Alexia was moved at the moment.

But now is not a good time to play games. Wait until you have finished the things that need to be done, and then you can play slowly.

After sending Alexia back to the dormitory, Reed immediately teleported Beta back.

After all, if the two girls were allowed to stay together for a while, who knows what might happen.

Let Claire go back home to ask her cheap father about his plan for the territory, and Reed used the contract to communicate with Elizabeth.

"The above is our final plan." Reed told Elizabeth about Alexia's layout.

"Master, I understand. I will start preparing for the industry now." Elizabeth answered simply.

"Okay, but these industries don't completely belong to the Dark Tower, right? Is that okay?" Li De asked casually.

"Anyone who has any objections can go to hell," Elizabeth replied with a sneer.

"Won't this delay your trip to the Kingdom of Oriana?" Li De continued to ask.

"Master, when the title of Bloodthirsty Queen is revealed, anyone who dares to disobey will be killed! Even if I am not in the Black Tower, no one in the city dares to encroach on the interests of the Black Tower.

I personally think that I will leave some members of the intelligence team and the assassination team in the Impossible City, and I think it is necessary to keep in touch with the dark world. Of course, since the focus is not here, I plan to sell the entire Black Tower later.

After the blood moon comes, we will openly take back the Crimson Tower, and then sell all the other industries except these two organizations. This way, we can get more funds to bring to the Kingdom of Oriana."

Reed understood what Elizabeth meant.

After all, after arriving in the Kingdom of Oriana, whether it is to establish a knight order, secretly deploy an intelligence system, or expand the assassination force, it will require a huge amount of funds.

The 1 trillion ringgits that Li De gave them at the beginning might not be enough. After all, the gap between a kingdom and a city is very large, so the more funds the better.

"Well, it's okay as long as you know it. If you need manpower in the future, just come back to the ancient capital to choose. I will make the decision. Any number within a hundred people can be directly assigned to you." Li De promised casually.

"Thank you, master!" Elizabeth said happily after hearing this.

"Well, tell Mary later that I will go find her in the evening and ask her to keep a close eye on Rose Auriana." Reed said immediately.

"Yes, I understand!" Elizabeth replied immediately.

As soon as the call with Elizabeth ended, Claire directly sent the results of the conversation with her adoptive parents.

"Sid, Baldy's idea is that we are currently limited by defense pressure, so we should add a village nearby first. When this village can provide tax revenue, we can continue to add more. So let Delta handle it."

Reed understood what his cheap father meant. Although he and Claire were powerful, they could only return to the territory occasionally, so they could not suppress the rebellion for a long time.

However, Li De's own breath does not have the characteristics of the Mist Dragon that are suitable for enclosing land, so don't expect to rely on this method to protect the territory from being invaded by monsters.

Because of this, in order to reduce the defense pressure caused by expanding the territory, he was so stingy that he only planned to add one village.

Of course, as far as the current Barony of Kageno is concerned, the territory that has been gradually developed and acquired by my cheap dad can definitely be regarded as a mature and prudent strategy.

Li De had no objection to this.

After taking a look around and choosing a place that was not far from the territory and close to the stream, Li De asked Delta to level the undulating terrain, and then added a rock wall as the first outer line of defense.

After opening the road between the new village site and the territory, Reed asked Delta to stop.

It is enough to accomplish this step. As for the rest, let the people in the territory handle the follow-up slowly.

After handing over to his adoptive father who had arrived with the knights in the territory, Reed and Claire returned to the royal capital.

As soon as they arrived, Reed and Claire found Mary who was monitoring Rose Auriana.

"Mary, what's the situation?" Reed asked Mary after seeing her somewhere in the underground sewer.

"My lord, the symptoms of Rose Oriana being possessed by a demon are slowly getting worse. She is currently resting about 300 meters ahead." Mary said to Reed in a respectful tone.

"This is quite deep in the underground sewer. It looks like Doem is very anxious." Claire couldn't help laughing after looking around.

"How can he not be anxious? After all, his immediate superior Mordred is very eager to rebuild the Kingdom of Oriana in his mind." Reed knew very well how much pressure Doem was under at the moment.

"Sid, are we going to see President Rose off now?" Claire asked Reed.

"Let's go and say our final goodbyes." Li De nodded when he heard this.

Then the three of them walked forward.

After a minute or two, a voice came from the darkness.

"who is it?"
