Chapter 859 - 856 Cooperative Containment

Chapter 859: Chapter 856 Cooperative Containment

Inside Sedona City, Lucas was still in the castle’s study, looking over government affairs.

Knock knock knock...

"Master, I’m coming in!" Mina’s voice came from outside.

"Alright."

Creak...

Mina walked in carrying a stack of documents. Raising her perky bottom slightly, she sat on the edge of the desk and placed the documents in front of Lucas.

"Master, this is the information on all the cities currently covered by the letter express," Mina said softly.

Lucas picked up the stack of documents and began looking through them one by one.

Right now, the hottest shops in other cities are inevitably the letter express branches set up by Sedona City. Every day, people queued up to write and send letters. It was precisely because of the emergence of the letter express that the flow of information had become much faster.

"Not bad, it already covers half of the Siacan Kingdom. The only places missing are the extremely remote areas and the coastal cities in the east." A smile played on Lucas’s lips; he was quite satisfied with this level of coverage.

"Those remote areas just need time, and they’ll be fully covered soon. As for the coastal cities in the east, that might be a bit troublesome," Mina, who was in charge of the Security Department, knew exactly how difficult it would be to set up letter express branches in cities occupied by pirates.

"No rush. We’ll leave the eastern coastal cities alone for now and deal with them later after we’ve cleaned them up," Lucas said pointedly.

Mina thought for a moment and nodded. Those pirates were an unstable factor. The master would be dealing with the First Prince in the winter. After that, he would definitely have to suppress all the resisting forces first before he had the free time to deal with the pirates.

"By the way, what has Annie been doing these past two days?" Lucas asked suddenly. He had been so busy with government affairs lately that he forgot to check on what the fox-eared girl and the others were up to.

"She and Catherine have been taking Euphy around the city these past two days," Mina swished her cat tail and curled her lips.

"That’s perfect. I’m planning to send Annie to the Sahara to handle something for me." Lucas took a letter out of his drawer and placed it on the desk.

"Eh, sending Annie to The Sahara?" The cat-eared girl asked in astonishment.

"Yes, I need her to go and discuss some matters with Perry." Lucas nodded, handing the letter to the cat-eared girl.

Mina picked up the letter and scanned it from top to bottom. Her mouth opened slightly, wide enough to fit an egg.

The letter mentioned several points. One was that Sedona City planned to increase its purchase of mutton. Another was the plan to build a fertilizer factory on the Sahara, cooperating with Perry.

The last point was the request for Perry to help contain the other cities around the capital during the winter. In exchange, Sedona City could provide weapons and armor appropriately.

It was this last point that astonished Mina. She hadn’t expected the master to ask Perry to directly enter the Siacan Kingdom to help contain other cities.

"With her help, taking the capital will be much easier," Lucas said calmly.

"That may be true, but if beastkin interfere in the affairs of a human kingdom, will it cause a negative impact after you unify the kingdom, master?" Mina asked, her expression grave.

"Well, considering the nobles in Sedona City living alongside beastkin, do you hear them complaining now?" Lucas asked with a smile.

"There are still a small number who might, but they don’t dare speak up. Of course, some nobles have already gotten used to living with beastkin," Mina said thoughtfully.

She then understood his meaning; after considering the factors regarding the nobles around the capital, once the kingdom was unified, whatever the master said would go.

"Go on, bring Annie here. I’ll speak to her personally," Lucas patted Mina’s hand and said softly.

Creak...

Before Mina could go, the door was quietly pushed open. The fox-eared girl poked her head in and asked curiously, "Eh, was the master calling for me?"

"Perfect timing, Annie. I have something to discuss with you." Seeing the fox-eared girl arrive, Lucas didn’t need Mina to fetch her.

"What is it?" Annie asked, confused, coming over to sit beside Lucas.

"I plan to have you run an errand for me to the Sahara, to go see Perry. I’m preparing a surprise attack on the capital this winter..." Lucas briefly explained the situation.

"Eh?! You want me to go talk to Big Sister?" Annie stared with her eyes, astonished.

"Yes. This matter is very important, and I wouldn’t feel at ease sending anyone else. Plus, it’s about time you went to visit your Big Sister anyway," Lucas said gently.

"What’s the matter?" Annie grew serious.

"It’s like this..."

"This trip will take almost a month round trip..." Annie looked reluctant, staring at Lucas with puppy-dog eyes.

"A month will pass by quickly, and it’s a good opportunity to go out and relax. You haven’t rested in a long time," Lucas shook his head and smiled bitterly at Annie. She had completely forgotten about her Big Sister.

"This..." Annie opened her mouth. The sudden request to go to the Sahara was simply too abrupt; she hadn’t processed it yet.

She pouted and muttered, "But if I go, I won’t be able to eat tomato and egg stir-fry... or steamed buns, or pizza..."

"..." Mina had a dark expression, looking at Annie speechlessly. In the end, it was all about the food! Was that why she was reluctant to leave?!

Lucas’s eye twitched. He opened the drawer and took out a bag of lollipops—the classic Alpenliebe lollipops from Earth, with assorted flavors.

"Take these lollipops to eat on the road," Lucas offered.

"Okay, master." Without a second word, Annie hugged the bag of lollipops and refused to let go. He believed Perry would agree to his conditions regarding building the fertilizer factory.

"Alright, I’ll have Nicole prepare food for your journey tomorrow. The war wolves will also go with you," Lucas said gently. Besides the war wolves, Lucas planned to have people bring cement to the Sahara to build the fertilizer factory directly on site.

"I want hot pot tonight." Annie agreed, wanting to have a hot pot meal before leaving.

"Good, have Nicole start preparing," Lucas smiled, reaching out to pinch the fox-eared girl’s cheek.

"Alright!" Annie jumped up in joy.
