Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 121 The Revolutionary and the Widow
Cohen said slowly:

“Your friend is neutral, but in essence, he is on the side of the opponent.

Your opponent is neutral and is essentially on your side.

Oliver and Saffron were originally Ivan Petrov's right-hand men.

Their statement that they will remain neutral when necessary indicates that they have tacitly approved our actions.”

Nephthys nodded, not quite understanding, and said:

"Sir, have the people from the Farmers' Association agreed to cooperate with us?"

Cohen said:

"Almost there, Windsordler. You've been going out to buy snacks as usual these past few days. I guess the people from the Farmers' Association will contact you."

Windsordale dried the ends of his hair and stared at Cohen unkindly:

"Did you see anything just now?"

Cohen was savoring the charming curves he had just caught a glimpse of, and thought to himself that Miss Elf's growth over the past hundred years had not been in vain, as she still had quite a nice figure.

But on the surface he kept shaking his head and said:

"I just walked into the room and you got all the flowers and plants on my face. What can I see?"

Windsardler was mumbling something to himself, and Cohen knew without even listening that he was cursing him inwardly.

Cohen coughed lightly and turned to Nephthys and said:

"Don't you have Isabella's contact information?

I'll write down some potion ingredients for you, and have Pale Wings gather them as quickly as possible and have them delivered within the next two days."

Nephthys nodded in agreement.

After the discussion, Cohen was about to leave when Freya whispered:

"Didn't the gentleman say he was going to have a party?"

For a moment, everyone in the room had an embarrassed red face, and Windsardler stared at Cohen with a look as if he was looking at garbage.

Cohen stroked his forehead and said:

“Freya, it’s getting late, let’s do it next time.

By the way, come with me tomorrow to find your father and see how the army training is going."

When Freya heard that she could go to see her father tomorrow, she no longer worried about the party and agreed readily.

The girls also left one after another.

Cohen took out the communication stone and contacted Hermann.

Even though he is thousands of miles away, he always keeps abreast of the domestic situation.

Especially now that Herman has gained the trust of Justice Gore, he may be able to discover the DuPont family's conspiracy at any time.

He needs to keep abreast of the situation so that he can formulate a response strategy in time.

Hermann was obviously on standby at all times, and not long after Cohen sent the message, he received a reply.

Hermann:
“I have now become a contact for the Gore and DuPont families.

However, I am still responsible for some serious business dealings and cooperation, and have not yet touched upon the core business.

However, the DuPont family seems to be interested in several prisons in the eastern suburbs.

On behalf of Gore, I acted as an intermediary and contacted the warden of those prisons together with the DuPont family.

I guess their plan is related to the serious criminals held in Dongjiao Prison.

In addition, from the business accounts of the Gore and DuPont families that I recently took over, I can see that the DuPont family has been secretly dealing with the Archbishop of the Bound Church."

Cohen looked at the information sent by Hermann and fell into deep thought.

Colluding with the prison and those serious criminals?

Could it be that the DuPont family wants to use prisoners to start a rebellion?
When a major unrest occurs, using the power of prison inmates can indeed bring some chaos and disruption to the situation in Florence.

But relying solely on a group of serious criminals will not achieve much results.

As for colluding with the "Bound Church", Cohen immediately thought of the contestant who was controlled by the sorcerer to self-destruct in the extraordinary arena.

The sorcerer claimed that he had signed a book contract with the Bound God. It seems that it was indeed the DuPont family who was responsible that time.

The Bound God is a deity of weak power, not high up among the pantheon of gods, and the "Bound Church" is not a very powerful church either.

The strongest one is just a legendary high-level sorcerer.

In addition, due to the hostile relationship between the Bound God and Ares, the god of war and battle, the "Bound Church" is often suppressed by the Battle Temple and the Extraordinary Arena, and its presence has always been very low.

It is possible that they joined forces with the DuPont family to stir up trouble and seize certain benefits during the chaos.

But all of this is just his own speculation and needs more intelligence to verify.

After giving Hermann some instructions, Cohen contacted the chief minister of the palace, Earl Snape Middleton.

Before he left, he expressed to Snape his idea of selecting a group of loyal and capable military talents.

Snape Middleton was originally an aide-de-camp to King Coin's father and accompanied him on many expeditions.

He has extensive connections in the military, so it's most appropriate for him to handle this matter.

Snape has been secretly and actively implementing Coin's ideas and has already made a preliminary plan.

"Establishing a 'Loyal Party' at the King's Military College?"

Seeing Snape's proposal, Cohen became interested.

This practice seems familiar. It seems that a dictatorial leader of a certain "universe country" in the previous life placed his confidants in the military in this way.

Snape told his plan.

He had several confidants in the army, but after the previous king died and the queen came to power, these confidants gradually lost their backing and their careers basically came to an end.

Snape's plan was to transfer them all back to the military academy as instructors, and use their identities as instructors to secretly train and recruit a group of students loyal to the royal party.

Cohen highly approved of this approach and strongly supported Snape in starting to implement it.

And tell Snape not to be shy and to make wishes for them to be given official positions.

After finishing his business, Cohen discovered that the Princess Grace Tang of the Eastern Territory Empire had sent another message.

To Cohen's surprise, Grace has arrived at the "Land of the Lost" alone and is asking Cohen for its exact location.

Cohen thought about it and thought that the eldest princess was at least a seventh-level peak transcendent, which would be helpful to his next move, so he told her his location.

The most important thing is that this person is his financial sponsor.

Isabella sent me a message a few days ago, saying that the second batch of 5,000 orcs were on their way to the "Lost Land".

Supporting these people is a considerable expense, and Grace's arrival is just in time.

Cohen's plan is to deepen cooperation in other areas besides accompanying her into the hell plane.

It's rare to find such a rich and beautiful woman, so you have to seize the opportunity.

I have to find a reliable logistics manager and investment consortium for my future army!
After finishing the work, Cohen prepared to wash up and rest.

The room still lingered with the girls' body scent, especially Nephthys and Windsardelle who had just finished bathing.

There was still steam in the bathroom.

Cohen smiled bitterly. This kind of daily routine was definitely a good test of his willpower.

He couldn't help but have wild thoughts. If he confronted the Queen in the future and told her that although he had been hanging out with a group of beautiful girls all day, he hadn't done anything, he wondered if the Queen would believe him.

Cohen was a little uncomfortable after not seeing Adele for so long. No matter how beautiful the flowers and plants outside were, they couldn't smell as good as his queen sister.

We must quickly capture the "City-State of Farmers", establish a stable base, and imprint the spatial nodes of the "Book of Time and Space" so that we can travel back and forth between Florence and the "Lost Land" at any time.

……

In the city-state villa area, it was the private residence of a widowed lady who was a high-ranking member of the society.

The figures of men and women float in the bedroom.

The bedroom was filled with a blushing scent, and the silk curtains fluttered gently.

A sturdy man leaned against the carved headboard, his strong chest rising and falling slightly, his bronze skin still carrying the warmth of passion.

The man's face seemed to have been carved by time and war. A long scar ran diagonally from the left forehead to the cheek. The shocking scar not only did not destroy his face, but instead added a sense of vicissitudes of life.

His eyebrows were thick and black, his eyes were like deep cold pools, and there was a little stubble on his chin. Every facial feature seemed to tell of his past - struggle, revolution, and resistance. All of this converged into his unique and charming handsome appearance.

Thomas Wade, the top leader of the "Farmers' Association", was lying in the boudoir of a widowed lady from the upper echelons of the "Planting Society", his eyes filled with satisfaction after being released and a hint of complex emotions.

The widowed lady was half lying beside him, her snow-white skin was particularly attractive under the mottled light and shadow coming through the window frame, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were filled with tenderness and love.

A hand rested lightly on Thomas Wade's arm, fingers unconsciously tracing over his bulging muscles.

This man is charming and passionate, both outside and in bed.

So even though the widow knew the other party's true identity, she threw herself into his arms like a moth to a flame, and even sold her property to support his revolutionary work.

Madam smoothed Wade's frown and asked softly:

"Honey, is there something bothering you?"

Thomas Wade smiled faintly and said:

"I heard that a group of interesting people came to the city-state a few days ago?"

The widow's expression changed slightly, and she quickly said:

"Yes, I heard that this is a distinguished guest arranged by Her Excellency the Witch.

But in my opinion, he looks more like a noble young master from the human world. Apart from anything else, the women he brought with him are all beautiful and their words and actions are like those of a noble family."

Thomas Wade became interested and asked:

"Really? I heard there's an elf inside?"

The widowed lady immediately became alert and said unhappily:

"Honey, are you trying to find someone else to fall in love with?"

This lady is not making trouble. Thomas Wade has a lot of criminal record in this regard.

With his charming appearance, when the "Agricultural Association" was in financial difficulties, Thomas Wade often hooked up with rich and lonely young ladies to raise funds for the revolution.

A fact that many people are unwilling to accept is that a lot of the funds of the "Agricultural Association" are obtained by their leaders by eating the free meals of the top leaders of the "farming association".

Thomas Wade pinched the other person's nose and said:
"He's a Gold-level transcendent, so even if I want to, he has to be appreciative.

Besides, I heard that the elf is the concubine of the mysterious young man who came here, so I dare not provoke her."

The two of them argued for a while, and then Thomas Wade asked:

"How is Ivan's relationship with them?"

The widow recalled:

"The president is quite welcoming, and that mysterious man is also quite tactful. He doesn't use his status to interfere. He just wanders the streets with his female family all day. It seems like they are here to enjoy the city-state on vacation."

Thomas Wade's eyes flashed with contemplation, and his wife leaned lightly on his shoulder. The two of them seemed to have forgotten the troubles of the outside world at this moment, immersed in the sweet and gentle paradise that belonged only to the two of them.

……

In the military camp outside the city-state, Arnold reported the training results to Cohen:

"In my opinion, the Tiger Guards have already initially achieved 'conventional-level' combat capability.

As for the real level, it depends on the actual combat situation.

These orcs are equivalent to bronze-level transcendents. As long as they can form a formation like a human army, they will soon become combat-ready.

Initial estimates suggest it should be no problem to fight against two ninth-order transcendents."

Cohen nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. You won't have to face the Ninth Order Transcendents then. Ivan Petrov has a 5,000-man security force under his command, which is estimated to barely have conventional-level combat capabilities. You will be responsible for leading the Tiger Guards to eliminate them. Don't worry about the rest."

Arnold asked in a deep voice:

"I've seen the intelligence you sent me. Besides the five Silver-rank [Agriculturists], Ivan Petrov also has two Sixth-rank bodyguards hired from outside. Can you capture them on your own?"

Cohen nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I have external support. In terms of combat effectiveness, Ivan Petrov can only deal with the weak peasant uprising army. In a real fight, he is not very strong.

As long as we can handle the pressure from other forces after we get rid of them, there will be no problem."

Seeing Cohen so confident, Arnold didn't say anything more. Past experience had made Arnold realize how powerful this young king was.

After inspecting his troops, Cohen became more confident and completely relaxed.

He takes the beautiful girls around him, both young and old, shopping in the "City of Farmers" every day, trying his best to play the role of a playboy.

After a few days of observation, Ivan Petrov almost gave up his suspicion of Cohen.

They treated him like a passing god and treated him to delicious food and drinks for several months to get by.

Until late one night, Windsordale came to Cohen's room and handed him a note.

It has the time and place written on it.

Cohen understood that the leader of the "Farmers' Association" was going to meet with him.

After speaking to the girls, Cohen disappeared into the shadows.

……

The address given by the "Farmers Association" was an abandoned construction site in the city-state.

The dilapidated unfinished building was filled with a damp and decaying smell, and the dim lights swayed in the darkness, as if they would be swallowed up by the night at any time.

Water droplets seeped from the dilapidated walls, and in the center of the room stood a worn wooden table covered in scratches and stains.

Surrounded by several chairs of different styles, Thomas Wade and the man codenamed "Vegetable Farmer" sat around the table.

The figures of the two people flickered in the light, and the expressions on their faces were serious and solemn.

Cohen observed carefully in the shadows for a long time, and when he found that there was no one else around, he slowly revealed his figure.

Seeing Cohen suddenly appear in front of them, there was no extra expression on their faces.

Apparently, the "vegetable farmer" had already told Thomas Wade about Cohen's magical escape technique.

Seeing Cohen coming, Wade smiled and spoke first:
"Didn't the beautiful elf lady come with you?"

Cohen's mind echoed with the introduction of Thomas Wade in his previous life:

A man with strong charisma, leadership, wisdom, ambition, but also very romantic.

For the so-called revolutionary cause, he hooked up with many famous ladies in the city-state, and many aristocratic girls from the upper class fell for him.

A strong, handsome, mature man who is full of revolutionary ideals and firm beliefs is indeed very popular among ignorant girls who have not experienced much of the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that he started his career by living off his wife.

The other party asked this, could it be that he has set his sights on Windsardler?

Cohen couldn't help laughing. It seemed that he was going to teach this revolutionary who thought he was very charming a profound lesson tonight.

Reveal to him a shocking, horrifying and bloody truth!
