After lowering his head and pondering for a long time, Owen decided to change his mind and find some clues.

So he looked up at Ryan and asked, "Ryan, have the old king ever come to the border town before?"

"No." Ryan shook his head, "The old king had never visited the border town. He had always been the old master who went to the royal capital or the Dongsheng Fortress to meet the king himself."

"Dongsheng Fortress? When was my father's last visit to Dongsheng Fortress?" Irving asked.

Ryan thought for a while and replied: "Twenty-two years ago, the old king visited Dongsheng Fortress, and the old master went to see him."

Oops! Time is actually in line.

Dongsheng Fortress is Duke Eddie's territory. Did the old king accidentally leave a seed there? Well... it seems that it is really possible.

Forget it, let's stop here.

Thinking of the letter from Duke Eddie, Irving really didn't know what to say.

This guy actually wrote in the letter that the third prince White Wells is a kind-hearted and kind heir to the throne.

If Crowos hadn't said when he visited Irving not long ago that the third prince was a cruel and ruthless person, he might have really believed that guy's nonsense.

If Irving really had the blood of the Wells royal family, the third prince would never let him go.

Therefore, if Irving really goes to the capital to verify the truth, he may never come back.

But wouldn’t it be against the will of the new king if he chose to continue hiding in the border town?

In addition, this kind of rumors continue to spread in the kingdom, the third prince will inevitably regard Irving as a hidden danger and want to get rid of it quickly.

In addition, Duke Eddie also urged Irving in the letter and immediately set off for Dongsheng Fortress after receiving the letter.

Judging from this, the third prince doesn't seem to have much time left for Duke Eddie, otherwise why is he so anxious?

In other words, if Irving ignores Duke Eddie, the other party is most likely to send troops to capture him in a hurry.

In this regard, Irving would definitely not surrender, and he could also make good calculations with him about the accounts that last winter.

A field battle may break out between Bianjun Town and Dongsheng Fortress, so you must be prepared in advance.

Thinking of this, Owen's face gradually became gloomy.

Seeing that Irving was not talking for a long time, Ryan asked, "Master, are you worried about the rumors?"

"That's right." Owen responded, "I have every reason to believe that it's all the conspiracy of Duke Eddie."

"Is it Duke Eddie again?" Ryan looked worried.

Seeing this, Owen grinned and said confidently: "Don't worry, Ryan, I have my own way, I'm not afraid of him."

Next, Owen left the castle and headed to the camp at the north wall, and discussed the matter with Viscount Javies and Russa.

Knowing that Duke Eddie might send troops, Viscount Jawes confidently raised a new gun, saying that he would lead the People's Army to beat the other side.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not be optimistic about the border town, so the reason was that there were many people in Dongsheng Fortress.

Now that he has a powerful new weapon in his hand, Viscount Javies has actually expanded a little.

Rusha will transfer a team of fifty people from their villages to support the border town, and said that it will speed up the formation of the new Lizardman troops, and it is time to select the Black Wind tribes to come for training.

In order to grasp the movements of Dongsheng Fortress, Owen ordered Rusha to send several agile lizard men to monitor so that he could learn about Duke Eddie's dispatch of his army as soon as possible.

In addition, the royal capital also needs to pay attention. Irving is preparing to let a personal guard act as a spy and sneak over to spy on the news.

The People's Army will strengthen its training from tomorrow. This time, their enemy is not the immortal monster from the north, but the army of Dongsheng Fortress.

After the meeting, Owen specially went to the steam engine factory to inform Geeta to speed up the production speed of the new musket.

New bullets maintain current daily production and continue to produce and reserve.

With the implementation of orders, the border town once again entered a state of preparation for war.

This time, Irving decided to give Duke Eddie a heavy devastating blow.

...

Two days later, Owen received a report from Clive, saying that someone had come to apply for the captain of the new ship.

"I understand, bring the person here, I want to ask him a few questions," Owen ordered.

"yes."

After Clive stepped down, Irving hurried to the second floor and called Uchina, who had just returned home from school.

Taking Yuqina to the office, Owen squatted down in front of her and reminded: "Yuqina, remember to do what I taught you before later, do you know?"

"Yeah!" Yuchina nodded, "I know!"

The purpose of Owen bringing Uchina here is to borrow her ability as a high-level vampire - to see through lies.

In order to recruit the captain as soon as possible, Owen's recruitment requirements were not high, and the salary offered was very good.

This will attract some people to take risks and make up their experience of sailing to deceive the captain's position.

Before this, two people had actually come to apply for the position of captain.

It is really troublesome to see through the interview to see the other party's lies, so Irving simply asked Uchina to identify for him whether the other party was lying.

If the other party lies, Uchina will remind you by pinching Irving's hand, and do nothing without lying.

This was how those two people were discovered by Uchina before, and they were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Very good, then I'll ask you later."

Owen stood up and reached out to touch Uchina's hair. The latter closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy the process.

Next, Owen came to the desk and sat in the seat.

Just as he sat down, Uchina immediately ran over, climbed onto Irving's thigh and sat down.

"Hey? Uchina, didn't I prepare a chair for you?" Owen raised his hand and pointed to the chair next to him.

"No, I want to do this position today. Please, Brother Irving."

Uchina turned around and looked at Owen with her pitiful big eyes.

Looking at those big, pitiful eyes, Owen really couldn't bear to refuse.

"Uh... well, please be happy."

"Thank you, Brother Irving!" Uchina smiled.

Not long after, Clive brought the person who came to apply for the captain to the office.

The applicant is a middle-aged man with a stubborn face and dark skin. He is not thin but not strong, but he gives people a very capable feeling.

As he followed Clive into the office, he saw a little girl sitting on the lord's thigh, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The man was thinking in his heart: I didn't expect that the lord of the Bianjun Town also had such a strange hobby. He liked young girls, but why did he feel that many nobles had special sexual fetishes?
