The Minister of Defense put down the quill in his hand, looked up at Jack, and a smile slowly appeared on his face. "Oh, it's Jack from Charles Chamber of Commerce. What's the matter with you coming to see me this time?"

"Your Excellency, the Imperial Minister of Defense, I am here to report a matter to the Empire. I hope the Empire can make a decision for a small lord like us." Jack was very respectful and bowed slightly.

"Oh, what's the matter? President Jack, don't be too nervous. As long as it's something the Empire should be involved in, we have no choice but to do it." The minister smiled, not like a person in a high position, but like an old grandfather next door. But if you really think he is the old grandfather next door, then you may die more miserably than anyone else.

"Reporting to the lord, it is an orc, a pig-headed orc named Zhu Laoba. Some time ago, my nephew's territory, New City, was attacked by this orc. The orc took over New City with a large army and wanted to take it for himself. He also attacked two mages from the Magician's Guild. The two mages were forced to flee because they were defeated. I hope that the lord can send the country's army to help the lord take back New City and restore the country's sovereignty." Jack briefly explained the matter.

"A pig-headed orc actually attacked the New City territory of my Longwei Empire. How come I haven't heard about how the people below handled this matter? They don't even know about such a big thing. I'll teach them a lesson."

"Master, this happened a few days ago. It takes some time for the people below to walk. It's impossible for them to come back so soon," explained an old man who looked like a butler.

"They have all come to the capital, but our intelligence hasn't arrived yet, and you are still explaining for them. Did you accept money from them?" The Minister of Defense changed his smiling face and looked at his butler viciously.

"No, you know my character, I am not as good as you. I am just speaking the truth. I think Charles' nephew may have used a magic circle to get here, otherwise it would not be possible for him to get here so quickly." The old man knelt on the ground, but still spoke his thoughts.

"Just as the old butler said, my nephew came here using a teleportation magic circle. Minister of Defense, please calm down and stop venting your anger on the butler," Jack explained directly.

After hearing this, the Defense Minister's expression finally looked much better.

"I know about this matter. I will report it to His Majesty. But is the Pig Old Eight you are talking about the orc who also took away Richard's Holy Light Ridge?"

He didn't know that Xincheng was captured, but he knew that Shengguang Territory was captured. The news had been reported a few days ago. If it was really the same person, then the empire really had to pay attention to this person. This guy was very ambitious and actually captured two territories.

"Yes, your Excellency is right. It is that pig-headed man. That man is very strange. Every time he releases magic, he doesn't seem to need to chant any spells. His body is as strong as a third-level warrior. He also has a high-level magical pet. The power of that magical pet is also extraordinary." Charles, who was waiting impatiently at the back, spoke directly.

Hearing his nephew talking, Jack pulled him back, but Charles didn't seem to notice his uncle's expression and continued to tell him everything.

Jack looked up at the Defense Minister's face, and seeing that he didn't show any anger, he felt relieved. In such situations, you cannot speak unless your superiors tell you to.

"Oh, so this is a pig-headed man who practices both magic and martial arts. I didn't expect this world to be so magical. Pig-headed men have always been synonymous with stupidity, laziness and greed, but I didn't expect such a unique pig-headed man to appear. If I have the chance, I really want to meet him and see what he looks like. Does he have three heads and six arms? He scared all you kids." When Charles was talking about Tian Ye just now, his frightened eyes had betrayed his heart. He was really afraid of Tian Ye.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. My nephew has not seen the world much. I hope the Minister of Defense will forgive me." Jack stepped forward and bowed again, fearing that the Minister of Defense would vent his anger on his nephew.

"Haha, what are you talking about, President Jack? In my eyes, they are all like children. It doesn't matter if children don't understand some rules, but it's different for adults. Some rules must be followed. Just like that orc dared to touch the territory of my Longwei Empire, so I will make him pay the price."

The Defense Minister's kind face immediately showed a hint of anger. As the Defense Minister, he was obviously not a kind old grandfather, but a senior figure who grew up in constant political and military struggles.

"I will handle this matter. You two can go back first." The Minister of Defense sat behind the desk again, picked up the quill pen, and marked his opinions on the messages that came in.

"Gentlemen, please follow me." The old butler gestured with his hand that the two could leave. Jack and Charles lowered their heads and saluted to the Minister of Defense, then they left with the old butler.

After Jack and Charles left, the Minister of Defense put down the pen in his hand again, and then stroked his beard. "Pig-headed man, haha, it's really interesting. I didn't expect that in this troubled time for the empire, a pig-headed man would appear in the north. And it seems that this pig-headed man is quite ambitious. After capturing the Holy Light City, he actually attacked the New City and successfully captured it. It seems that the empire is showing weakness, which made him a little greedy. But now the entire southern part of the empire is on the brink of war. This matter seems a little difficult to handle. I want to transfer a master from the palace guards to kill him directly." The God of Defense thought of the simplest, most convenient and quickest way to solve this ambitious pig in the north in one fell swoop.

"Hey, uncle, the Minister of Defense didn't say anything about sending troops." Although Charles has been managing the territory for many years, there are some things in the capital that don't need to be said, but he didn't know it.

"Charles, you have to remember that there are some things you just need to let him know. As for how to deal with it, it's his free will and it's not up to us to decide. Okay, let's go to the Magician's Guild to meet with the magicians and talk to them about this matter and see what their attitude is. If the Magician's Guild can send a high-level magician, then I think this matter will be almost solved. However, the Magician's Guild is very greedy. If we want them to take action, we must pay a certain price."

"Uncle, everything is up to you." Charles followed his uncle and continued to move forward. In less than ten minutes, they arrived at the center of the city. A tall building appeared in front of them. This tall building was a statue of a wizard. The wizard was standing on a giant beast and holding a staff in his hand. The staff was inlaid with a shining gem. Well, the huge statue was nearly a hundred meters high, but the portrayal of this wizard was extremely realistic, which was obviously not something that a mortal could do.

"Is this the Magicians' Guild Headquarters?" Looking at this huge statue, Charles felt for the first time that he was a frog in a well.

"Yes, that's it, but I don't know anyone in the Magician's Guild, so you have to rely on yourself this time."

Although Jack had been in the capital for many years, magicians have always been a proud group of people, and never had any intersection with these lowly merchants, so he never reached the line of the Magician Guild. The reason why he wanted to compete with Charles's father for one of the lords at that time was not because he looked at the lord's wealth and power, but because of the lord's status. Although the lord cannot be looked down upon by magicians, the status of the lord is equal to that of the magician, and there are clear regulations in the laws of the empire.

"Oh, okay, uncle. I think the two third-level magicians in our territory will speak for me." He walked towards the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild, but was stopped at the door.

"Who are you? Do you have an appointment?" a warrior came up and asked.

"Well, do I need to make an appointment to come to the Magician's Guild?" Charles looked stunned.

"What do you think this is? A vegetable market? Come if you want," the guard shouted.

"No, no, I'm sorry, I just want to find two acquaintances." In the territory, Charles is the lord, but now that he is down and out, he has to control his temper, so he showed weakness directly.

"If you have an acquaintance, it's still possible. What's the name of your acquaintance?" The guard certainly didn't want to mess with the magician's friends.

"It's the third-level mage Dilar and the third-level mage Situs." Charles reported the names of the two.

"If it's the two of them, then it's really unfortunate that they followed the fourth-level mage Lester to a branch called New City."

"So that's how it is. Well, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you." Charles turned around and returned to the street with his uncle.

"It seems that these two mages suffered a loss and returned to the Magician Association, and then used the teleportation array to return to the new city. I guess the pig-headed man must have been besieged by the fourth-level magician at this time. No matter how strong he is, he can't be the opponent of the fourth-level magician. There are not so many fourth-level magicians in the entire capital city?"

“Hahahahahahahahahahaha” Charles laughed out loud at me.

"That's true, that's great. This damn pig-headed man finally got the lesson he deserved. I'm ready to return to the new city immediately to take back our property and territory." Charles, with a smile on his face, seemed to have finally let go of a huge weight lifted from his heart, and his happiness was beyond words.

"Okay, uncle will prepare some carriages for you. I guess that teleportation array may not be usable anymore. This time, uncle will add some guards for you. You must manage our new city's territory well. After it stabilizes, you can send a butler to take over some of the affairs of Charles Chamber of Commerce. After your butler learns, uncle should also take a few years off." Jack is going to hand over Charles Chamber of Commerce to his nephew. This idea has been in his mind for a few years. As he is getting older and older, he is physically unable to do things, and he also wants to enjoy his life.

"Uncle, I see you're still in good health, why don't you continue working for a few more years?"

"After working hard in Shanghai for many years, I have learned a lesson: no matter how capable you are, you can never reach the pinnacle of society. Merchants will always be lowly and lowly. I hand over the Chamber of Commerce to you because I want our territory to be more prosperous. Only when the territory is prosperous can our Charles family continue to prosper." Charles Jack said earnestly.

"Okay, uncle, I'll be back in the new city in two days." The uncle and nephew talked as they walked, and after finalizing some details, they returned to the Charles Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in the capital of the Longwei Empire.

Outside the new city, an old man looked up at the city and the closed gate, his face full of confusion. He didn't know that the new city had been occupied by orcs. This was the only way to the Holy Light City. He was the person sent by the Pope to check on the pig-headed man. Once he thought that Zhu Lao Ba was suitable to join the Temple of Light, then it would be a smooth road for Zhu Lao Ba to enter the Temple of Light. However, the old man had no idea where to start with the closed gate in front of him. There were also a few vendors gathered around, so the old man walked up to ask.

"Excuse me, why is the gate of Xincheng not open in broad daylight?"

"I can tell at first glance that you're from out of town. This new city has been captured by an orc-pig-headed man. It's normal that it's not open during the day, but someone has been sent out to notify you. The city gates will be open for a short time tomorrow at noon, but only to passing merchants. No one else is allowed to enter."

"It was actually taken away by the pig-headed people. This is the territory of the Longwei Empire. How dare they? Do they want to break the peace between the two countries that has lasted for hundreds of years?" the old man said indignantly.

"You'd better keep your voice down, otherwise if the orcs in the city hear you, you'll never be able to enter the city. Who cares who occupies the city? As long as we can trade, we don't care who occupies it. Besides, I have been to Holy Light City before, and the orcs there don't have any hostility towards humans. Besides, I'm still young, so it's not bad for me to make some money." As the merchant spoke, a smile appeared on his face. It seemed that he got some bargain in Holy Light City.

"From your perspective as a businessman, it is definitely no different, but this is a huge provocation and humiliation to the Longwei Empire."

Although the old man was from the Temple of Light, he also had deep feelings for the Longwei Empire. Seeing a businessman saying such words without any care, he was very angry, but did not explode because he had never looked at any businessman straight in the eye since he was born. Although he was a deacon of the Temple of Light that was about to decline, he had always been in charge of various affairs of His Holiness the Pope, so he was also a tall figure in front of other members of the Temple of Light.

"So we can only wait here. We can't force our way into the new city. That will only increase our time. Although he thinks no one in the city can beat him, as a fourth-level magician, he still has confidence in himself."

At this time in the new city, orcs and humans jointly patrolled the entire city, and there were 24-hour uninterrupted patrols every day to ensure the stability of the city.
