Lin Ke looked at Viscount Mantis with a half-smile.
He was trying to block Viscount Mantis's words.
Because in a fight, he certainly couldn't beat Viscount Mantis, and could only use his youthful age to shut Viscount Mantis's mouth.
"Hmph, your Azanen is just like us, isn't it?"
Viscount Mantis retorted without hesitation.
Everyone knew that Garoce now had a ninety-nine percent chance of not coming back.
If it weren't for Ove, the Azanen Territory would most likely shrink and split into several Baronies, then be either absorbed or destroyed by surrounding great nobles.
If one or two people from Azanen were unwilling to yield, they might become some "fallen nobles" longing to restore past glory, and possibly give birth to one or two protagonists like in a novel.
However, now.
With Lin Ke's future potential and Ove's current strength, the surrounding nobles dared not act rashly and even had to pretend to be friendly and congratulate them.
