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

After hearing Boudica's words, Zion Capo smiled and said, "I know!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Boudica fell silent...

He put on the mask and then left through the secret passage...

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lingas City has now been renamed Alliance City.

Nie Bing was very satisfied with the current situation.

The once deserted city of Lingas, where you couldn't see a soul, is now teeming with people...

Although only about 10% of these people eventually stayed.

However, the prosperity of the Alliance City was already unstoppable.

After all, it was just the British Empire, yet so many people came.

Once this news reaches other countries, people from those countries will inevitably flock here...

However, it will take time for them to arrive from various countries and regions.

After all, Ed White later added a piece of information, saying that it came from overseas.

They will reimburse the expenses incurred, and even if someone meets the criteria but is ultimately not selected, they will still receive some compensation.

The compensation was based on a proportion of their respective incomes.

Therefore, they have no worries at all.

Ed White has been incredibly busy these days, while Sean (Xiao Ce) has locked himself away...

Nie Bing was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but as time went by, she got used to it.

It wasn't until that evening that Ed White found Nie Bing.

After seeing Ed White's words, Nie Bing looked at him with some surprise and said, "Mr. White, you were looking for me?"

"What happened?"

Nie Bing asked this question for no other reason than that Ed White had been so busy these days that he was practically running around.

Logically speaking, it should be highly unlikely that he would have that much time...

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White smiled and said, "President, don't be nervous. My coming to see you isn't a bad thing... to be honest, it should be considered a good thing..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and then said, "Oh? What good news?"

Ed White said to Nie Bing, "Good news? Lots of good news... First of all, President Nie Bing, everything is going smoothly here... We have indeed recruited quite a few suitable people..."

Hearing Ed White say that, Nie Bing smiled and nodded, "That's true... I understand... You didn't mean to say that, did you..."

Ed White smiled at Nie Bing, then said, "President, of course not... I couldn't just come here to talk about this..."

Hearing Ed White say that, Nie Bing asked curiously, "Oh? And you are...?"

Ed White said, "This time, when I was recruiting those people, I discovered something..."

Nie Bing, curious, did not interrupt.

Ed White continued, "That is, all these individuals have unanimously stated that they came with the support of the royal family. Leaving aside some nobles, whose fate is beyond the royal family's control, some truly talented artisans and extraordinary individuals were recommended by the British Empire's royal family..."

When Nie Bing heard Ed White say that, her expression showed some surprise: "You mean the royal family is the one controlled by Zion Capo?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White was taken aback for a moment, then nodded to Nie Bing and said, "Of course... what other royal family is there in the British Empire besides this one?"

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and said, "This Zion is quite clever... Good, not bad, it shows we didn't misjudge him..."

As she spoke, Nie Bing looked at Ed White and then said, "Ed White, so, the purpose of your visit this time is... just to talk about Zion Capo and all that stuff?"

Ed White smiled after hearing Nie Bing's words, and then said, "That's right, things are going very smoothly in Alliance City... Going forward, I think the stability of the British Empire is also very important for us..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and then said, "So, you want Zion Capo to come over?"

Ed White nodded: "Not really, I just wanted to ask your opinion, Guild Master. I want to know what you think... because there's still no news from Xiao Ce and Morgana. According to Victor King's report, everything is going smoothly for them..."

"Therefore, we think we can bring over Sion Capo from the British Empire... We can see if Sion Capo is someone we can rely on. If he is, we should definitely give him a prominent position. Then we can use him to unify the British Empire, making him a pawn in their struggle against Xiao Ce..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and then said, "Is this your idea, or Mr. Sean's idea?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White smiled and then said, "It's my idea, but I also heard Mr. Sean mention it before..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing smiled and said, "Okay... I understand! Is there anything else?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Ed White gave an awkward smile, then shook his head and said, "No...nothing else..."

After hearing Ed White's words, Nie Bing said, "Go ahead and get busy."

Ed White nodded upon seeing this, said nothing, and left.

Ed White knew very well that Nie Bing would probably also need to talk to Sean (Xiao Ce).

Ed White guessed that if Sean (Xiao Ce) knew, he would definitely agree...

So he didn't waste any words.

He did these things without any personal motives; he simply wanted to make the Alliance City more stable.

However, from a certain perspective, this could also be considered a personal motive...

After all, only when the British Empire is stable can their allied cities be more stable...

After he left.

Ed White's idea was absolutely correct. Nie Bing said to Iron Man beside her, "Go and invite Mr. Sean over..."

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Iron Man nodded.

Then he left.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xiao Ce hadn't been busy lately either; he'd already made all the necessary plans...

He was just bored, so he went to study the returned Ah Tie.

With Lingxu's help, Xiao Ce successfully dismantled A Tie and put him back together.

It wasn't difficult for Xiao Ce to discover A Tie, and during the disassembly, Ling Xu also created a blueprint.

It can be said that the dimensions of every part of A Tie were made into a rubbing.

In other words, now that we have these blueprints, from a certain perspective, it is possible to create the body of a robot.

However, those integrated chips inside are probably impossible to replicate.

Only after disassembling this A-Tie did I finally understand the benefits of the plug-in robot that Lingxu had mentioned.

Those plug-in machines are just mechanical units; they don't require such a high level of industrial sophistication...

Because when a regular robot breaks down, something like the robot "A Tie" really breaks down...

The plug-in type of robot can have its chips recovered if it is damaged.

The chip is hidden in the robot's core, so it cannot be easily damaged.

Xiao Ce thought about it for a moment and decided that he should try to get a plug-in robot to disassemble it when he had the chance.

In the current situation, Xiao Ce knew very well that as long as he could get the robot's body out, that would be enough...

As for chips, that's almost entirely impossible...

It is virtually impossible to replicate.

Just as Xiao Ce was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Xiao Ce went straight to the door without saying a word.

He didn't even need to guess to know who the person was.

Without a doubt, the person who came was Nie Bing, or one of Nie Bing's men.

After all, besides Nie Bing, no one else would come looking for him...

After opening the door, I glanced outside and, sure enough, it was Iron Man...

Upon seeing the Iron Man, Xiao Ce politely greeted him, "Mr. Iron Man..."

Iron Man hadn't changed much; he simply said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Sean, the chairman invites you over..."

After hearing what the Iron Man said, Xiao Ce smiled and then nodded...

Without saying anything unnecessary, they went straight there.

Naturally, A-Tie followed.

The reason is simple: if A-Tie isn't allowed to come along, Nie Bing will inevitably become suspicious.

Stepping out of the room, the night air in Lingas City (Alliance City) carried a slight chill, yet it was also mixed with a kind of hustle and bustle that was different from usual and was gradually warming up.

The temporary receiving point in the distance was brightly lit, and figures could be vaguely seen moving around.

Xiao Ce was quite satisfied with what he saw.

Ed White's execution was indeed highly efficient, and the deserted city was being injected with new vitality.

As Xiao Ce walked, he quickly reviewed the situation in his mind: Nie Bing's late-night summons couldn't have been just for idle chatter. Was there some new development on the Alliance City side?

Or has news come back about the results of Viktor King's ambush on Morgana?

Or worse, was there some oversight in A-Tie's delivery of the message that was discovered? Lingxu stood quietly, ready to analyze any potential crises.

As Xiao Ce's mind wandered, he arrived at Nie Bing's residence...

Nie Bing's room was still guarded by the Iron Man, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Nie Bing herself was sitting behind her desk when she saw Xiao Ce enter. Her face showed her usual warm smile.

“Mr. Sean, I’m sorry to bother you so late.”

Nie Bing's voice was devoid of emotion, and her gaze swept between Xiao Ce and A Tie, lingering particularly on A Tie for a moment, as if trying to confirm something.

"President, you flatter me. It is my duty to share your burdens. What are your instructions?" Xiao Ce bowed respectfully, with A Tie standing closely behind him.

Without further ado, Nie Bing smiled slightly at Sean (Xiao Ce) and said, "Ed White came to see me earlier... and brought me some news..."

Nie Bing didn't hide anything from Xiao En (Xiao Ce) when she spoke.

After spending these past few days together, Nie Bing trusted her completely...

Nie Bing recounted the events that had just occurred in detail.

Upon hearing your name, Sean (Xiao Ce) wore a knowing look on his face, as if to say, "I knew it."

"President, did you invite me here to ask if I should go and invite that Zion Capo over?"

Sean (Xiao Ce) asked.

Hearing Sean's (Xiao Ce's) words, Nie Bing nodded with a smile: "Mr. Sean, it has to be you... very smart... that's exactly what I meant..."

"President, Zion Capo's actions..." Xiao Ce frowned slightly, seemingly choosing his words carefully.

"Zion Capo seems to be making overtures, but he's actually being a bit too submissive. He seems to be well aware of the current situation and understands that there's no chance of winning against us."

Nie Bing leaned forward slightly, her eyes sharp: "Too compliant? Mr. Sean, do you think this is genuine, or... a delaying tactic? Don't forget, he was put to power by Boudica. Boudica's remnants are still at large."

This is precisely the direction Xiao Ce hoped to guide the discussion.

He immediately chimed in, his tone carrying a perfectly timed analysis: "Your Excellency is wise. I've studied Zion Capo's past. He's not a staunch supporter of Boudica; he's more like a shrewd opportunist. He sided with Boudica when she was powerful, and betrayed her when the Illuminati gained strength. His current 'compliance' seems more like an attempt to find a new patron to protect his current position and family interests after recognizing the rise of the Alliance City and the unstoppable momentum of the Illuminati. As for Boudica... ha, a loser, now struggling to survive. Her favors are probably far less important than the immediate deterrence and future benefits."

He paused, observing Nie Bing's expression, and continued, "As for Boudica's remnants, Sion Capo may or may not know some clues. But in any case, he is now showing a great willingness to cooperate, which is our opportunity. Rather than letting him stay in the distant capital, where his thoughts are unpredictable, it is better to summon him to the Alliance City and put him under our watchful eye."

"Oh?" A hint of interest flashed in Nie Bing's eyes. "Keep it right under your nose? What about his kingdom? Aren't you afraid it will become a threat after he returns?"

“That’s the key.” Xiao Ce quickly formulated a plan in his mind, his speech steady and forceful! He had been summoned not merely to appease or assure the loyalty of the Xien family…
