Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor-Chapter 561 - 282: Conspiracy (Part 2

"Speaking so well, isn’t this human just going to trick us and then eat us?"

Hai Er’s clansman spoke in a small voice, "Weren’t the Lizardmen treating us as food stock before?"

"If I were like the Lizardmen, you would already be corpses by now."

Luo De loudly interrupted the Seal People’s speculation, pointing to the Thunder and Frost behind him,

"They don’t have an appetite for you... or maybe seafood is tastier?"

"Not tasty, not tasty!"

Hai Er waved his hands repeatedly.

"Besides catching fish and collecting seafood for me."

Luo De pointed to the corpse of the Flying Feather Sea Snake on the ground,

"More importantly, I want you to find similar sea monsters in the sea."

"The Flying Feather Sea Snake?"

Hai Er exchanged glances with his clansmen, "Although this type of sea snake is common in the sea, we’ve only seen this one."

"No, any large sea monster will do," Luo De said.

"There’s one in a big reef cave up ahead!"

A clansman beside Hai Er shouted, "A giant lobster made us come here!"

"Very good, I like this news."

Luo De nodded in satisfaction, "You heal first, then find a few clansmen to go to the southern coast with me to get some daily supplies."

"Once I’m done dealing with this Flying Feather Sea Snake, we’ll go see that lobster."

"Thank you, honorable... Lord."

Hai Er patted his chest and bowed his head in gratitude.

Luo De had Vivian watch over the Flying Feather Sea Snake’s corpse, mounted Thunder, and returned to the coastal camp.

...

...

Hawk Clan, Eagle Castle.

The overcast sky made the castle’s reception hall particularly gloomy.

Servants lit the lamps in an attempt to dispel the castle’s darkness.

Lurice, the second daughter of the deceased Hawk Count, sat in a high-backed chair quickly reading the letters in her hand.

After Baron Zane went to enlist for the western battlefield, Lurice, as Zane’s closest sister, was in charge of handling various affairs of the territory.

"Let the envoy of the Cold Blade Clan come in."

Lurice put down the letters in her hand and commanded.

"Yes, Baroness."

The Guard respectfully responded and quickly left the hall.

Soon, the Guard returned, followed by a man in a black robe.

"I’m pleased to meet you, honorable Baron, the most beautiful Hawk of Eagle Castle."

The man bowed and said, "I am Silo Sparrow, the envoy of the Cold Blade Clan."

"You don’t look like an envoy of the Cold Blade Clan."

Lurice scrutinized Silo, "No formal attire, no insignia, I don’t think you’re an envoy."

"You look more like a dog raised by that slaver."

The slaver Lurice referred to is Lady Rose.

Although Lady Rose was beloved by Marquis Cold Blade, she herself didn’t have any significant status, and ultimately, she was an unpresentable mistress.

An envoy sent by such a woman was naturally looked down upon by the legitimate noble, Lurice.

Lurice meeting this envoy at all was already due to the influence of that letter.

"There’s no need for your words to be so sharp."

Silo spoke smoothly, "I truly am an envoy of the Cold Blade Clan, and the contents in the envelope can fully prove my identity, moreover... I came to offer you assistance."

"But I don’t see it as anything good."

Lurice rolled her eyes without hiding it but didn’t continue to mock,

"Say it, what does your mistress want to do?"

"I came to report something important to you."

Silo still wore a smile on his face,

"To the south, there is a trade caravan of the Red Griffin Family passing through your territory, with their final destination being Black Pine Ridge."

"They will deliver a large batch of goods and slaves to Baron Rod."

When Lurice heard this name, her body noticeably stiffened for a moment.

She frowned without speaking, but her fingers involuntarily gripped the armrest of the chair tightly.

The smile on Silo’s face grew stronger, he continued,

"You probably don’t know, there are at least three thousand people in Black Pine Ridge now, and high walls have been erected in Frost Leaf Town."

"This is a very frightening thing, most esteemed Baron."

"And if this batch of goods and slaves enters Black Pine Forest again, then Baron Rod’s power will grow again."

"With the relationship between Black Pine Ridge and Hawk Clan, you wouldn’t want such a thing to happen, would you?"

Silo paused, quietly waiting for Lurice’s response.

"You want us to forbid this trade caravan from passing through Eagle Ridge?"

Lurice’s tone rose, then she sneered,

"Sorry, our Hawk Clan doesn’t want to provoke the Red Griffin Family."

Although both are Earl Clans, the Red Griffin Family in the southeast of the Empire is not something the Hawk Clan can match.

In terms of population, number of troops, food reserves, the Hawk Clan can’t compare.

The Hawk Clan only has vast lands.

"It’s rare to find someone as straightforward as you among the nobility; it’s truly admirable."

Silo nodded in admiration, "Our master knows your difficulties, which is why I was specifically sent to assist you."

"How to help?"

Lurice looked at the envoy before her with some doubt, suddenly realizing,

"You want to raid the Red Griffin Family’s trade caravan?"

Silo smiled mysteriously, "Not us raiding, but a two-hundred-strong bandit group will raid the Red Griffin Family’s trade caravan."

"After all, the Empire now strictly prohibits conflicts between lords."

"A two-hundred-man bandit group, hehe..."

Lurice chuckled twice, thoughtfully staring at Silo,

"Can ordinary bandits handle the Red Griffin Family’s Guard Team?"

"If the Red Griffin Family’s trade caravan is as important as you say, the number and quality of the escort won’t be low."
