Negotiations on the division of interests in the most important prize, Pine Island, had actually begun when exploration and various churches announced that the Viscount of Pine Island was a traitor to mankind. Of course, as a nobleman with sufficient heritage, Lawrence naturally had suitable retainers.
Handling trivial matters related to negotiations does not require him to handle these trivial matters in person.
According to what Saifei said on the way here, Deputy Butler Owen had already brought several people here from Sauer Island. In addition to them, the Embassy of the Holy Visby Empire in the White Eagle Federation also sent several people.
A counselor and several embassy staff formed another part of the negotiating team.
The ability to call for assistance from the empire at this time was inseparable from Lawrence's previous series of tasks. Although he himself did not understand these matters very well, his loyal retainers helped him handle these matters very well.
Well, it is enough for him to control the general direction well.
In addition to the work, these tasks actually started when Lawrence came to the island. For example, whether it was the production of new medicines or the first batch of grain harvest, he would rent a merchant ship to deliver these things to the emperor.
According to the steward, although the empire does not collect taxes from the island, there are still some things that must be done as nobles sent by the emperor.
Of course, as these items were sent to the Holy Visby Empire, a series of economic cooperation naturally followed. For example, after the hedgehog bombs were transported to Sauer Island and tested, Lawrence and the others immediately discussed the design of the hedgehog bombs.
The blueprints and manufacturing authorization were granted to the Royal Arsenal of the Holy Visby Empire at a relatively low price.
In this kind of cooperation, Lawrence's side will naturally pay a lot of benefits. At least the new potions and newly developed weapon authorizations have given the Holy Visby Empire royal family a lot of benefits.
But correspondingly, he also improved his relationship with the royal family and the empire of the Holy Visby Empire in the process.

From a purely profit perspective, some businesses cannot be managed by an earl like Lawrence if they want to grow bigger. But after giving up part of the profits to the Emperor of the Holy Visby Empire, the empire will naturally be involved in these businesses.
The business provided him with protection, which also made it easier for Lawrence to expand his business.
For example, the previous lighters and mortars, and the alcohol and its derivatives iodine used for disinfection, and the previous research institute conducted detailed testing of various minerals, animals and plants in accordance with Lawrence's requirements and found that it can treat diarrhea.
The medicine montmorillonite powder. These things were spread throughout the Old Continent through cooperation with the royal family of the Holy Visby Empire.
With the help of the royal family of the Holy Visby Empire, these businesses were successfully launched in the Old Continent. Not to mention that with the help of the royal family, those lighters as luxury goods suddenly gained the aristocracy of the Old Continent.
The recognition of this largest consumer market for luxury goods. The national procurement of weapons and medicines alone has made Lawrence's life much easier financially.
This is one of the important reasons why Lawrence has been able to launch a new round of construction on Sauer Island in the recent period. You know, you want to establish settlements in environments that are surrounded by various dangerous creatures.
Expanding to the surrounding areas requires a lot of resources, and Lawrence would not be able to support it if it were not for the increasing income he received from these cooperations.
More importantly, when Lawrence fulfilled his obligations as a vassal, the emperor naturally also needed to fulfill his obligations as a vassal, such as protecting his vassals. This is why the Holy Visby Empire is here
They will send their own diplomats to support Lawrence.
So now Lawrence is not worried about the next negotiations. After all, he is not the kind of adventurer who runs alone and can be used by others with a little benefit. With the support of a powerful empire, Lawrence believes that he can be successful in subsequent negotiations.

Therefore, after briefly asking a few questions and figuring out the joints inside, Lawrence immediately turned his attention to the issue of eradicating the sahuagin. For today's humans, if they can take this opportunity to completely eliminate them,
If this part of the sahuagin people were around, then the surrounding sea area would be able to be peaceful for a long time.
In addition, this sahuagin country is also an ancient country with hundreds of years of history. According to common sense, the prince's power now accounts for 1/5 of the entire country. Now the other party has completely failed and been abandoned by the gods.
After that, the troops responsible for cleaning up should be able to easily defeat those who stayed behind and obtain a large amount of wealth.
"So what about the cleanup of the sahuagin settlement?" Lawrence asked Nora, who was floating in front of a portable telegraph machine to contact the naval ship that went to hunt down the sahuagin. "Also.
Has Fatina encountered any dangerous presence on the road now? If I remember correctly, there are many sahuagin transcendental beings who have left the battle line on the main battlefield."
"Well - the situation now should be better than you think. The opponent lacks command and morale. The most important thing is that basically all the elite troops were lost in the previous battle. Therefore, although the sahuagin launched a
We have made many counterattacks but they are nothing to be afraid of." Nora said to Lawrence after translating the code in her hand.
"The most important thing is that after losing the favor of the gods, all the priests among these sahuagin people have lost their power. In their society, the priests are the only casters. So all the actions of the other party are under our control.
Under surveillance, the battlefield is basically unilaterally transparent to our coalition side."
"According to Fatina, they focused their attack on those giant sea monsters last night, and it is basically certain that they have completely eliminated those war crabs and more than half of the sea monsters. By the way, they killed many who planned to take advantage of them.
The sahuagin elite attacked them in the darkness."
"That is to say, the next step is a simple pursuit and final cleanup work." Lawrence looked at the little puppet and said. As a person who participated in the entire battle, Lawrence naturally knew the role of the sahuagin in this war.
It can be said that the whole army was mobilized, regardless of age or age.
Under such circumstances, as long as they can kill as many sahuagin as possible during the pursuit, they will be able to face the sahuagin settlements with almost zero defense in the following time.
"Yes, the navy's work should be much easier next." The little doll Nora nodded and said. "Because after last night's night attack, this group of sahuagins have obviously lost their last remaining strength.
, it can be clearly seen during the day today that they have completely lost all kinds of counterattack capabilities."
"But it's best to remind Fatina and the others to pay attention to their safety, especially at night." Lawrence motioned for Nora to send a telegram to the Enterprise. "Compared with the daytime, the sahuagin people have more advantages at night. And they were before
There have been cases where people suddenly launched attacks at night after showing weakness, so it is still necessary to be more vigilant.”
"Fatina and the captain jointly called back. They said they would be vigilant in the coming time." A few minutes later, as the telegraph machine ticked for a while, Lawrence and the others received a telegram from the fleet. "And.
Through interrogation of the prisoners, they confirmed that there was a lot of wealth in the sahuagin lair."
"In short, safety comes first, and the wealth will not escape there." Lawrence thought for a moment and said, because there will be no other intelligent creatures around the sahuagin's lair. And the only other creature that can pose a threat to this lair is
The two groups of sahuagin are currently fighting the humans on other islands, so there is no time to return.
Therefore, there is no need to rush for Fatina and the others. After all, even if they move a little slower, it will not hinder the next action plan.
