Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

CHAPTER 561: Christine?

Laura was taken aback and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Hai? Did the Emerald Dynasty offend us in some way? I don't remember that?"

Zhao Hai coldly snorted and replied, "How could you forget? During our pursuit of Duke Ryan, the last ship that came to pick him up was from the Emerald Dynasty, right? I thought it was the Church of Light seizing the Emerald Dynasty or borrowing their ship. Now it seems the situation might not be that simple."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Lily's face darkened as she said, "It's the Church of Light again. Could it be that the Emerald Dynasty has some sort of collusion with them?"

Zhao Hai sneered, "How could it be impossible? The Church of Light has suffered a significant loss this time. They have already lost control over the Aksu Empire, so naturally, they can't reveal all their cards. It's possible they had the Emerald Dynasty pretend to distance themselves from them for now. But if this plan of the Church of Light succeeds, they would effectively control the two cities at the southernmost and northernmost points of the continent. If their strength is sufficient, they could initiate a continental war, attacking from both ends towards the center and unify the entire continent."

Laura and the others were stunned. Laura looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and said, "No way? Do they have such audacity? That's impossible! Not to mention our Lorin Empire, even the Pagoda Empire and Leon Empire wouldn't be easy to deal with."

Zhao Hai sneered, "Not easy to deal with? Don't forget, where did I have conflicts with Duke Ryan before? That was at the border between the Aksu Empire and the Roson Empire. The garrison there was originally under Duke Ryan's command. If everything goes smoothly for them, and the Aksu Empire mobilizes to attack the Roson Empire, and the border city surrenders without a fight, then the strongest barrier of the Roson Empire would be lost. I believe the Church of Light also has arrangements in the Leon Empire and the Pagoda Empire. Heh heh, these guys have grand ambitions."

Laura thought about it and realized that Zhao Hai's analysis made sense. If everything was indeed orchestrated by the Church of Light, their ambition was truly enormous.

Laura looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and asked, "Brother Hai, how did you come to this conclusion?"

Zhao Hai chuckled, "I just thought of it. I always felt the Church of Light shouldn't be that reckless, but their method of dealing with the Aksu Empire was just too simple and brutal. But now that you mention several ships possibly belonging to the Emerald Dynasty, it's like a thread that connects all the previous events together."

However, Laura was puzzled as she looked at the monitor and said, "Then why are they targeting the Hurricane Family now? It doesn't make sense."

Zhao Hai coldly laughed and said, "Why? Because they are unwilling to accept defeat. Although the Church of Light is being suppressed by everyone on the continent, if they really have connections with the Emerald Dynasty, then their strength there still exists, but it's transitioned from overt to covert, making it even harder to deal with. And now they've changed their tactics; instead of trying to win over those nobles, they're targeting those who refuse to cooperate with them, those who are their enemies. Compared to the Karlqi Family and the Budah Family, wouldn't the Hurricane Family be easier to deal with?"

Laura nodded in agreement, realizing Zhao Hai was right. Although the Hurricane Family was a thousand-year-old family, their reputation was not very prominent due to their temperament. When it came to influence, they couldn't compare to the Karlqi Family and the Budah Family.

Moreover, the conflicts between the Karlqi Family and the Budah Family and the Church of Light were well-known across the continent. If the Church of Light targeted the Budah Family or the Karlqi Family at this time, people would definitely think it was the Church of Light's doing.

But targeting the Hurricane Family was another matter. The Hurricane Family had no known issues with the Church of Light, and this fact was not known to others on the continent. Therefore, the Church of Light targeting the Hurricane Family wouldn't attract the attention of the entire continent, and no one would associate the fire with the Church of Light. They could eliminate an enemy without being discovered, which was precisely the Church of Light's plan.
