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

After hearing what the lieutenant said, Paul's smile widened.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Seeing this, the lieutenant continued, "General Paul... so now, even if no one comes looking for you, are you still planning to go?"

Paul nodded to his lieutenant: "Of course! That's right, it would be best if someone came with us. But it's alright if no one comes to help. Dogs need to travel in packs; only wolves travel alone..."

Upon hearing Paul's words, the lieutenant's expression deepened, and he said to Paul, "General Paul, you're right... Whatever choice you make, we, the Targaryen army, will obey you... No matter what, we will stand with you through thick and thin..."

Paul nodded: "Okay, don't worry. This matter may seem like a crisis, but for us, it's definitely an opportunity... a tremendous opportunity..."

After hearing Paul's words, the lieutenant smiled and said, "That's right, you're right... General Paul, I've followed you from when you had nothing until now..."

Paul nodded: "You've all been through thick and thin with me, I will never forget you brothers..."

After listening to Paul's words, the lieutenant smiled broadly and said, "General Paul, it's not just me who knows, we all know... We Targaryen soldiers are very clear that we are all indebted to you. In fact, looking at the entire British Empire, which army has better conditions than ours? Even the guards in Lingas City have similar conditions to us... Their Lingas Guard's assessments are so rigorous... We all remember your kindness..."

After hearing this, before Paul could speak...

There was a knock on the door.

Upon hearing the knock, Paul addressed the person outside the door.

"Who?"

"General Paul, it is I, Ben!"

Listen to the voice of this bodyguard named Ben.

Paul addressed the door directly, saying, "Come...come in."

After hearing Paul's words, the door was immediately opened.

After the door was opened, he bowed to Paul.

Paul turned directly to Ben and asked, "Ben, what happened?"

Ben said to Paul, "General Paul, the steward of King William Patton requests an audience..."

Upon hearing Ben's voice, Paul's expression immediately became quite interesting. He turned to his adjutant beside him and said, "Look... it's just a matter of time; a big fish has already arrived..."

The lieutenant nodded happily, then bowed and said, "General Paul, you may go and receive your guest. I will take my leave now..."

After hearing what the lieutenant said, Paul did not try to stop him.

"Okay, I'll let you know as soon as I have good news..."

After listening to Paul's words, the lieutenant nodded respectfully.

Then he had Ben call William Barton's butler over.

This butler of William Patton can be said to represent William Patton.

William Barton’s butler was invited in.

Paul was quite enthusiastic and immediately stood up to greet him.

Paul gave William Barton's butler face, and William Barton's butler also bowed to Paul.

"General Paul, you're too kind..."

Paul said to William Patton's butler, "Steward William, your personal presence represents King William Patton, and we must show you the utmost respect..."

Upon hearing Paul's words, William Patton's butler smiled broadly and said, "You're too kind, General Paul. You know the purpose of my visit..."

Seeing William Barton's butler being so direct, Paul nodded without hesitation: "Of course... I've heard some things... I guess he's trying to dissuade me..."

William Patton's butler shook his head: "General Paul, it's not like that. We're not trying to dissuade you. We all know that Chief Michel is your benefactor, and you are one of his most trusted people... So, we understand your feelings... and we empathize even more with your actions..."

"Furthermore, regardless of Miss Boudica's motives, her alliance with those pirates, Frank, is certainly not a good thing... However, our King Patton, as king, has many things to consider..."

"Before the Illuminati army arrives, they can't afford to escalate things too much with Frank and his people. Otherwise, if they provoke those islanders to attack our British Empire, it would truly be an undeserved disaster. They weren't primarily here to deal with us... Therefore, King Barton said he won't get involved in this matter, much less help..."

"So please do as you please. Ultimately, this is a family matter! Besides, he understands you!"

Hearing what William Barton's butler said, Paul's expression immediately became confident.

"Thank you, steward, for bringing this message. Please convey my gratitude to King Patton..."

"And tell him that I know what I'm doing... I won't harm the innocent, of course, all of this is on the premise that no one comes looking for trouble with us. But if anyone does come looking for trouble with us, we will definitely not be polite to them..."

Paul's words elicited a nod of approval from William Barton's butler.

William Barton's butler continued, "General Paul, the King has sent us to remind you that they have now requested to take over the city's defenses. Boudica's mother, Brian, still has many loyal followers in Lundini, so their original guard of a hundred men has now grown to over three hundred... and their weapons are very powerful..."

Paul laughed after hearing William Barton's butler's words: "Three hundred men, even if he gathers ten times that number, even if they have three thousand, even with their divine weapons, they still can't be a match for our fifty thousand... Our fifty thousand men, one spit from each of us, could drown them..."

William Patton's butler: "General Paul, it's good that you have confidence... Well then, let's leave it at that..."

Paul nodded, then said to William Barton's butler, "Alright. Go tell His Majesty the King that unless he lends a hand... I, Paul, will remember this favor..."

William Barton's butler nodded: "Yes, I will certainly pass on the message!"

...

After William Barton's butler left.

His trusted lieutenant had not gone far.

Instead, he looked at Paul with excitement and said, "General Paul, is there some good news?"

Paul smiled at his trusted lieutenant and said, "Yes, that's good news... William Patton's butler told us that William Patton said this is a family matter and he won't interfere. He also told the other families that this is considered a family feud, and advised ordinary people not to get involved, to stockpile food, and to stay home as much as possible..."

Upon hearing Paul's words, the trusted lieutenant exclaimed happily, "Does this mean they're going to support us?"

Paul said to his trusted lieutenant, "It's not exactly support, but it's a covert form of support. What I'm really afraid of is that William Patton is supporting Boudica. As long as William Patton doesn't interfere at this time, it will be a huge help to us..."

After listening to Paul's words, the trusted lieutenant nodded with a smile and then said, "General Paul is right. Did they say how many men they have?"

Upon hearing his trusted lieutenant's words, Paul's expression grew increasingly smug, and he said, "You'd never guess... three hundred men..."

Paul's trusted lieutenant asked, "General Paul, how many men do you have?"

Paul smiled at his trusted lieutenant and said, "You guessed right, it's three hundred men... and I confirmed with William Patton's butler that Frank and Morgana don't have time to meddle in this kind of thing... it's these men..."

After hearing Paul's words, his trusted lieutenant said in astonishment, "Have they gone mad? Even if they have the most powerful weapons, three hundred men turning those guns into firewood sticks wouldn't be a match for us!"
