Regarding Joshua's borrowing money, Marquis Stanley's feeling is just one word - it's cool, but the speaker is unintentional, but it sounds intentional.

Daliang asked Marquis Stanley, "Did you lend him?"

"No..." Marquis Stanley replied very simply and with confidence: "Why should I lend him my money?"

Daliang smiled and said, "Yes, yes, the Marquis' money must not be lent to others."

Seeing that his good brother recognized his point of view, Marquis Stanley was very happy: "But Brother Daliang is not someone else. If you want to borrow money, you can speak up."

"Then I will thank the generous Marquis first." Daliang praised the Marquis of Stanley and then said, "I am going to convene a meeting of the imperial fronts. This time I come to Jiading City, I want to explain some things to the Marquis first and listen to your opinions."

Marquis Stanley said cheerfully: "Everything is yours, I will listen to you in everything."

"I want to recommend Joyce as the owner of Shangjiang City, the new Donghai Neptune..."

Marquis Stanley wanted to agree casually, but when he heard what Daliang said clearly, he immediately stopped talking, and then looked at Daliang, and said in a serious tone: "Are you kidding? You have to figure it out. Joyce has no royal orthodox status and does not have the reputation of Joshua. The human race will not support her all, let alone other cities. If she is recommended as King Donghai, it may cause turmoil and even division in Shangjiang."

"I understand very clearly." Daliang slowly said to Marquis Stanley: "The full-scale war is getting closer and closer. Shangjiang's geographical location and wealth are in the eyes of the top strong men. If we continue to maintain superficial unity, we will have no strength to deal with future invasions.

The best candidate who is qualified to stand up and lead Shangjiang now is definitely Joshua, but he is not from our team. I don’t want our current results to be picked by Joshua.”

Marquis Stanley nodded with great approval. If Joshua became king, he would definitely deal with his Jiading City first. Letting himself pay for this and that would delay his progress in decorating the castle.

"You are right, you must not let Joshua be king."

"Now this situation cannot be left to an unborn child. Abigail even made a mess of her own Songjiang City. We cannot expect her to be able to lead these eight cities in the future. I think only Joyce and... Marquis are you who are qualified to be kings and unify the river."

Marquis Stanley quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I can't do it. I don't even want to be the former Prime Minister, so I like to live in my castle."

Daliang spread his hands: "That's Joyce left. And Shangjiang is now in chaos, which is stronger than the chaos after the war begins. If the Marquis is willing to fully support Joyce as king, even if there are cities that are not convinced and want independence, we have the financial resources and the army to complete unification through force. Joshua has started to borrow money, so why should they fight us?

And this time I have a powerful allies. Perhaps the unification of Shangjiang does not require war."

Marquis Stanley asked: "Ally? Is it Sigh City? I think the army of Sigh City is not suitable for participating in the internal affairs of Shangjiang City, and our dispute needs to be resolved by ourselves."

Daliang knew that Marquis Stanley was not confused about major events, and he had never thought of using foreign troops to resolve internal disputes. Only by being strong can these city lords convinced, and using foreign troops to attack their own people will only be looked down upon.

Daliang replied: "It's not about sighing the city, but in fact, the sad monarch's attitude towards Shangjiang City is to directly annex. The allies I have found this time are to keep us in a relatively neutral position in the future wars.

They are very powerful and have the strength to make Yunzhongcheng and Hell afraid. However, it is still unknown whether they are willing to form an alliance with Shangjiang, so we still need to be prepared to resolve the problem by force."

Joyce was the king, and Abigail was definitely the first one to be unwilling. The child in her belly was the orthodox royal family. If Joyce was the king, she would be very likely to declare the independence of Songjiang City, and then rely on the unique environment of the dungeon to close the road to the surface and set up a royal court herself. Joshua was also unwilling to do so. Joyce's qualifications were too shallow. If she was king, Joshua would definitely feel unbalanced. Now that there are soldiers and no money in Chongming City, it is difficult to guarantee that Joshua would not take the risk of rebelling and independence with the purpose of consuming troops.

Songjiang City and Chongming City are independent, and other cities may follow suit.

Joyce will face a united war when he comes to power.

Daliang needed Marquis Stanley to send real troops, money, and effort, not what he always likes to do - wait and see.

It is related to the future of Jiading City. With Daliang's relationship, Marquis Stanley did not dare to make a statement easily. He did not ask Daliang's allies because he was uncertain that the allies who formed an alliance were not considered ally. He asked: "Will Shangjiang not be unified and perish?"

"Yes!" Daliang's answer was without any hesitation.

After hearing Daliang's answer, Marquis Stanley said, "You can rest assured that I support Joyce as king. The army in Jiading City will immediately start to assemble and mobilize. If the imperial meeting is not smooth and has to fight, you and Joyce will deal with the voices of opposition within the human race. During this period... I will fight whoever city dares to rebel."

Marquis Stanley's domineering statement made Daliang feel relieved.

There is already a plan to deal with the worst case, so the rest is to work hard for peaceful reunification.

After convinced Marquis of Stanley, Daliang immediately returned to Shangjiang City and then went to the Admiral's Office of Pudong Military Port to meet Joyce.

It was already night, and Joyce stood on the top platform of the Admiral's Mansion castle, looking at the sea in the east. The angels guarding the navy were floating in the air, and the holy light emitted from them illuminated the ships in the port below. The masts in the military port were like forests, and a patrol fleet was slowly disappearing into the darkness even further away.

Daliang, who was riding a royal griffin, fell from the air. He found that Joyce was not wearing a navy uniform, and was wearing a noble home women's clothing, with his hair spread out and his hair naturally resting on his shoulders.

Seeing Daliang appear beside him, Joyce seemed to say to Daliang and said to himself: "Everything happened too quickly, making me unprepared. When you left, I kept thinking about it here, thinking about the wonderful memories left by this city in my childhood.

At that time, my parents were all there, they were just ordinary nobles, and they often took me out for sailing; the former king was also there, and he led the city to its peak, and everyone respected him; William was also there, and he was a child spoiled by his parents, and King Howard, who was a duke at that time, and my favorite thing was to cheer for him on the roadside when he came back from the war. He had never lost a battle. He was my idol and the idol of every child in this city.

I really didn't expect this city to come this way one day...

Never thought...I have to shoulder the responsibility that should belong to them.

I'm very scared..."
