Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Morgana listened to Frank's analysis and found it to be reasonable.

He smiled at Frank and then continued, "Frank, do you mean the new king won't actually make a move?"

Frank smiled and nodded: "That's right. You know, there's still no news about Queen Boudica. Although Sion Capo has temporarily become king, I believe that none of the various factions will be truly convinced..."

"Moreover, you must know that Queen Boudica used these policies of Lingas City, policies that benefit the people... Do you think that if the people of Lingas City follow this path and see the light, they can still tolerate the darkness? They have already experienced human dignity, would they still want to be enslaved?"

Frank's words were like a revelation to Morgana.

Morgana nodded vigorously, then said to Frank, "Frank, you're right...you mean, Zion Capo's own regime isn't stable either?"

Frank nodded, then said, "That's right. The weapons Xiao Shen left us are the most advanced, a whole tier ahead of their Western counterparts. So, for our five thousand men, they'll have to send at least ten thousand to attack..."

“Zion Capo wouldn’t do something so foolish. After all, I think his own backyard is on fire everywhere; he wouldn’t even have time to put them all out…”

"There are only a few possibilities. One is that he agreed and then just fooled those members of the Illuminati. To be honest, those members of the Illuminati wouldn't care about these things at all..."

"There's another possibility: that Zion Capo might try to plead poverty with the Illuminati... However, I think the probability of that is very low. After all, the Illuminati wouldn't fall for that... If Zion Capo can't handle it, then, without a doubt, they'll replace him with someone from another family. So, Zion Capo won't do that..."

"So, I suspect there's a high probability he'll stubbornly deny it and then try to hold out... After holding out, he'll try to deceive the Illuminati. If we keep going back and forth like this, we'll probably have found a base of operations by now..."

Morgana was somewhat surprised to see a sly glint in Frank's one eye...

Frank saw Morgana staring at him, smiled slightly, and then said to Morgana, "What's wrong, Morgana? Is there a problem?"

Morgana shook her head, then said, "Lord Frank, I thought you were quite capable of leading the navy, but I didn't expect you to analyze these matters so logically and reasonably..."

Frank smiled and then said, "Don't worry too much. Let's just cooperate as before!"

After hearing what Frank said, Morgana looked at him with some curiosity...

Frank said to Morgana, "Morgana, have you forgotten our division of labor?"

Morgana smiled faintly at Frank and then said, "Of course I haven't forgotten, that is, I am in charge of people's livelihood, and you are in charge of military affairs... But right now there's not much people's livelihood to manage."

The current situation is actually more like a military campaign, so putting Morgana in charge of this management is truly a complete mystery...

Frank smiled at Morgana and then said, "How can there be no issue of people's livelihood? These people's basic needs, even while on the march, are met with various conflicts... Actually, everything remains the same..."

"The things you have to manage haven't decreased; in fact, you've arguably increased... Simply put, you're treating our team like a mobile fortress... and you'll understand..."

Morgana was immediately surprised upon hearing Frank's words, then said, "Now that you mention it, it's really true... and we'll have even more challenges ahead..."

Frank smiled and nodded, then said to Morgana, "That's right, so that's what you need to worry about. Don't worry about military affairs... I'll find a way to expand our army... Actually, of these 200,000, young and able-bodied men and women make up half. Even if we can only muster 50,000 troops, we won't have anything to fear..."

"The only problem now is weapons... in other words, we don't have enough weapons. If we had enough weapons, we wouldn't need to hide in those mountains and forests; we could just attack the British Empire directly..."

Morgana said to Frank, "Xiao Shen had his reasons for sending us into those mountains and forests. Actually, entering the mountains and forests is the best place for these people; only there will outsiders not expect us to be there... Once we get through the initial clearing period, everything will be fine..."

"If we were to occupy the existing cities, it certainly seems like a good idea... but, but, war would be inevitable, and they would definitely attack us again and again..."

"We can't get a break at all..."

Frank nodded in satisfaction and agreement after hearing Morgana's words.

He then said to Morgana, "Morgana, Xiao Shen is so thoughtful..."

"By the way, Morgana, you haven't told me yet, what is Xiao Shen's plan?"

Morgana said to Frank, "Xiao Shen told us to find a base in the mountains to hide and accumulate strength. He said that after we made such a commotion, Boudica will definitely come looking for us..."

"At that time, Empress Boudica will have those nobles stir up trouble among themselves. Meanwhile, we will accumulate strength, preparing it as a trump card. And he said he would find an opportunity to transport some advanced weapons to us..."

Frank immediately understood what Morgana meant after hearing her words.

He then said to Morgana, "I understand. We need to let everyone know that Boudica only possesses that much strength, so that we can strike without warning and deliver a devastating blow..."

Morgana smiled at Frank and nodded, "That's roughly the idea..."

Frank said to Morgana, "It seems this will be a very long process..."

Morgana smiled after hearing Frank's words, then nodded: "That's right, that's exactly it..."

Morgana suddenly slapped her forehead and said to Frank, "Frank, look at my head! I feel like I'm about to forget something very important..."

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Frank quickly replied, "What important thing is it...?"

Morgana said to Frank, "Xiao Shen told me earlier that before we leave, we should send a small team to investigate the Hidden Dragon Manor..."

Frank, with a hint of doubt, asked Morgana, "What are we going to the Hidden Dragon Manor for?"

Morgana said to Frank, "I don't know either, but Xiao Shen said there's a secret room over there. If we're lucky... we might even find some weapons and equipment inside..."

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Frank asked with a face full of curiosity, "Okay, so was Qianlong Manor Xiao Shen's armory before...?"

Morgana nodded to Frank and then said, "I guess so... but I don't know if they have any weapons... actually, even Xiao Shen doesn't know... that's why he told us to try our luck..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Frank nodded, "Alright, let's try our luck. I'll go take a few people and head over there..."

Morgana nodded, then said to Frank, "Okay, be careful. Xiao Shen gave me a password. He said if there are people over there, just repeat the password to them, then ask him for a weapon... He'll definitely give it to you..."

Frank nodded after hearing Morgana's words, then continued, "What if there's no one around?"

Morgana smiled at Frank and said, "If no one's around, go straight to the innermost room. Then, press the eighth wall tile on your left and the third wall tile on your right. Next, stomp hard on the floor tile in the center of the room, and the mechanism will open... There's a passage leading to the basement there..."

"If we're lucky, there might be some weapons inside... but if Empress Boudica takes them away... then there's nothing I can do..."

Frank nodded after hearing Morgana's words.

"Let's try our luck..."

Morgana nodded. Frank was about to excitedly go over when he suddenly remembered a crucial question.

Frank said to Morgana, "By the way, what if there are weapons over there, and a lot of them? Should we take them all, or leave some behind...?"

Frank's words immediately stumped Morgana.

Because Xiao Ce only mentioned that this matter existed, but didn't specify whether, in case there were any items inside, everything should be moved out or some should be left...

Morgana pondered for a moment: "If there's a lot inside, just keep enough weapons for ten people, just in case they encounter a dire situation; a few weapons could save their lives. If there wasn't much left, take it all. If there wasn't much left, it might be what Queen Boudica left for us over there..."

Frank nodded: "That's what I think too... After all, when they return for the next Illuminati, they'll definitely tighten their control over this area... So let's just take them away..."

Morgana nodded in agreement: "Then there's no time to lose...you should go right away..."
