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

"He said that if their warships had been like yours back then, he could have utterly routed you? I thought he was just bragging..."

Lannister Rambo gave a wry smile: "To be honest, his mad dog-like naval warfare methods are no joke!"

Lannister Rambo seemed to have thought of something as he spoke.

Then he began to speak slowly.

Lannister Rambo said that although Frank was a pirate, his fighting style was extremely ruthless and unconventional.

Moreover, he has his own set of battle tactics, which are quite formidable.

Therefore, they were always able to make everyone in the entire western sea area scream in pain...

In the end, it was only after they joined forces and found the Lannister family that the Lannister family took action.

Actually, at that time, Lannister Rambo didn't intend to deal with Frank.

After all, Lannister Rambo usually roamed the waters of the West.

Therefore, I have some understanding of what Frank did.

While Frank was indeed a pirate, they robbed the core monopolistic industries of the twelve families.

They were also very principled; they didn't rob ordinary merchants, they didn't steal goods from ordinary people, and they didn't touch anything belonging to the militaries of various countries.

They wouldn't provoke the navy, and in a way, they could be considered Robin Hood figures.

Later, the twelve families and the Illuminati all came to Lannister Lothar.

Lannister Losa certainly didn't want to help.

But it's true that if we don't help, we might be targeted by those people.

There was really no other way.

That's why Lannister Rambo was sent to suppress the pirates.

Although Lannister Rambo had a bad impression of Frank, he didn't hold back on the battlefield.

After all, this represents the honor of their Lannister family.

He naturally played with great effort.

However, after several encounters, Lannister Rambo fully realized that Frank was a mad dog.

It's a completely insane fighting style.

Lannister Rambo failed to win several times.

Later, when all else failed, they used the advantages of their warships to conduct counter-surveillance against them.

They then used the method of bribing informants to undermine their internal structure.

That's what made him agree, though winning it wasn't easy.

Lannister Rambo said that his tactics were despicable and unscrupulous, and that regular armies would not stoop to using such tactics, such as sending people to carry bombs to blow up ships, which is a tactic that would lead to the extinction of one's lineage. It may be effective, but it doesn't sound good.

Lannister Rambo, of course, smiled helplessly and then said, "A cat doesn't matter if it's black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat..."

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised after hearing Lannister Rambo's words.

Seeing Xiao Ce's expression, Lannister Rambo quickly looked at him curiously and asked, "Mr. Ce, why are you looking at me like that...?"

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "You two really do have a mutual respect for each other, don't you?"

Lannister Rambo looked at Xiao Ce with a hint of doubt.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Back in prison, I talked to Frank about you. He really admires you. Frank said there aren't many people he admires in the entire West. But you're one of them..."

Lannister Rambo chuckled: "Oh? I thought he'd hate me..."

Xiao Ce waved his hand: "Of course not!"

Lannister Rambo said to Xiao Ce, "If that's how you see it, Mr. Ce, then I have no more qualms about cooperating with them..."

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "You don't need to feel pressured, you don't need to cooperate..."

Lannister Rambo looked at Xiao Ce with confusion and said, "Mr. Ce, what do you mean? Didn't you want us to hand over our ships to them? Frank does have his own set of tactics, but his methods might not be suitable for our warships... I can go and instruct them!"

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "I don't need your guidance. You have other roles to play."

Looking at Lannister Rambo's increasingly puzzled expression.

Xiao Ce continued speaking to Lannister Rambo, "General Rambo, don't misunderstand. I think you can take another path. Didn't I say I'd give you another fleet?"

Lannister Rambo nodded.

"It's very simple. I don't want your tactics to be revealed to Frank. It's very simple. In fact, your tactics are already very well understood in the West. And others are also very familiar with them. If Frank were to use your tactics on the warships he's seized, it would be completely Lannister style. What would those Westerners and those members of the Illuminati think? Do you think they wouldn't see through it?"

Lannister Rambo suddenly understood, but he still didn't interrupt.

"So let Frank use his methods. Frank will use his tactics to deal with those Westerners. When they are utterly defeated, they will naturally try to come looking for you, and by then you will have no ships. What do you think they will do?"

Lannister Rambo burst into laughter upon hearing Xiao Ce's words.

He then gave Xiao Ce a thumbs-up, followed by Lannister Morgan saying, "Brother, did you see that? Mr. Ce's brain is really sharp..."

Lannister Morgan was also very pleased and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, does this mean their blockade of our warships will be lifted? Or will shipyards from various countries be able to provide us with warships?"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "That's right, that's indeed the ultimate goal..."

Lannister Rambo said, "However, we have achieved some results. If we hadn't, it probably wouldn't have been of any use..."

Xiao Ce laughed and said, "That's simple. We'll have Frank act out a few scenes with you, making sure you win more than you lose... And none of them can fight better than you, so they'll only have you to use!"

Lannister Rambo smiled and nodded, "Good! Good! Good! Mr. Czess, you're incredibly clever...you truly are..."

Lannister Morgan said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, does this mean... we're in cahoots with them...?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "It's alright, you just need to strengthen yourselves. As long as you strengthen yourselves... that's enough! Nothing else is needed..."

Lannister Rambo said to Xiao Ce, "As for Frank's side, even with the warships we provided, it might not be enough..."

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Rambo, "You've all fallen into a misconception. Does that mean only warships can fight? Even ships can fight... It's not necessarily about how big the ship is."

"Especially given your limited production capacity, do you think it would be feasible to convert merchant ships and transport ships into small warships?"

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Lannister Rambo slapped his forehead: "Mr. Ce, you're right!"

Then Lannister Rambo burst into laughter, for no other reason than that.

They hadn't even thought of such a simple method.

Moreover, he got stuck in his own narrow-minded thinking.

Lannister Rambo: "Mr. Ce, thank you for reminding me..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Lannister Rambo: "Don't use this method yet. Otherwise, they won't come looking for you, and it won't be easy for you to ask them for warships..."

Lannister Rambo nodded to Xiao Ce: "I understand, Mr. Ce..."

Lannister Morgan, who had been silent until now, finally began to speak slowly as he listened to Xiao Ce's words.

"Mr. Ce, what are you going to do then? You've been trying to win us over, aren't you? What you're talking about seems like it's to help you... but in reality, it's not about doing anything for you..."

"What can we do for you? What kind of help can we provide?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "That won't be necessary... We can meet at the summit when you've all reached it! Then you can help us. Since it's a trump card, it should be saved for last..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Lannister Morgan nodded.

"Mr. Ce, we understand. But do you really trust us that much?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right! I trust you all, first and foremost because I trust my own abilities. Only when I am strong will my partners follow me more and more closely... So, it's not that I trust you all so much, but rather that I trust myself..."

Xiao Ce said this with a hint of arrogance on his face.

Lannister Morgan and Lannister Rambo listened to Xiao Ce say whatever he wanted.

But I think what he said makes sense...

It was almost midnight.

Xiao Ce yawned and said, "Alright, that was efficient today. Now that we've reached an agreement, we'll take our leave first thing tomorrow morning. We won't bother Mr. Lothar any longer. We hope you can attend when we conquer the British Empire and Boudica ascends to the throne another day..."

Lannister Morgan was surprised by Xiao Ce's words, but one could also say that he was already used to being surprised.

“Alright, Mr. Ce, Ms. Boudica, I will definitely attend! However, you should be careful when you go to the British Empire... it is indeed very complicated.”

Xiao Ce said to Lannister Morgan, "Don't worry, once you've provided the warships to Frank, as long as you hold off the outsiders, I'm best at trapping them... Besides, I have an ace up my sleeve..."

Lannister Morgan was curious, but since Xiao Ce had already mentioned the trump card...

So naturally, they wouldn't say it easily.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two parties left directly.

The original intention was to let them stay.

However, Xiao Ce said that his companions would feel more at ease after he returned.

Lannister Morgan and his men did not press the matter further.

Instead, they were sent away.

When Xiao Ce and Boudica left.

Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, that Lothar is a cunning old fox. You seem to be showing them no mercy! But they seem quite wary of you... Can you really trust him?"

Xiao Ce said to Boudica, "Their suspicion and wariness show that they genuinely want to cooperate with us..."

Xiao Ce's words made Boudica think deeply.

After thinking for a while, she nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Ce, what you said really makes sense..."

After Xiao Ce returned, most of the Shadow Guards were already asleep.

Several other people were also observing the location of Losa Castle.

After seeing Xiao Ce arrive, they finally felt relieved and went to sleep.

...

Meanwhile, inside Lothar Castle...

Lannister Morgan and Rambo were both in good spirits.

They had indeed been in a slump, after all, the Lannisters had faced unprecedented trouble and targeting.

If this matter is not handled properly, the Lannister family will truly live up to that saying.

It has vanished into the dust and smoke.

However, the problem that had plagued the Lannister family for so long was solved with Xiao Ce's arrival.

Furthermore, with just a few words from Xiao Ce, the mystery of the matter was instantly solved.

There are no more problems or difficulties.

The two brothers were just about to have a few drinks when there was a knock on their door.

Lannister Morgan walked to the door and opened it.

Lannister Morgan was somewhat surprised to see Lannister Losa standing at the door.

"Great-grandfather, you..."

Lannister Lothar chuckled and said, "This old man of mine needs very little sleep... We don't really need to sleep anymore... What, even Xiao Ce knew that I was just making up an excuse? Do you really think I need to sleep?"

After listening to Lannister Lothar's words, Lannister Morgan smiled and said, "No, that's not it. I know, Great-Grandpa, you know you need to act as a buffer. Once Mr. Ce makes some offers that aren't easy to refuse, we can use you as a shield..."

Lannister Losa listened to Morgan's words and smiled, saying, "Not bad... a clever one."

He glanced into their house and said, "Do you expect me to talk to you here?"

Lannister Morgan smiled and quickly ushered Lothar inside.

When Lannister Lothar entered the house, he saw that the wine had already been prepared.

"More wine? You want another drink? Looks like your negotiations went very well... You're all ready to celebrate with a drink...."
