On the other side of Eagle Territory is Viscount Bai Lu, who is the vassal lord of Marquis Cold Blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De analyzed while looking at the map: \"If Baron Halon wants to defy the new Hawk Earl this time, he might also have to face the intervention of Marquis Cold Blade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De recalled the previous movements of Marquis Cold Blade; if he truly wished to become the Duke of the North, he would certainly seek to win over the new Hawk Earl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, do you have any good strategies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Durant was also intrigued and asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not necessarily.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De thought for a moment and said, \"My idea is to muddy the waters, bringing more people in, but Baron Halon must offer enough interest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other Counts of the Northern Province know of Marquis Cold Blade’s ambitions, they won’t stand idly by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what Baron Halon needs to do is to plan in advance to prevent Marquis Cold Blade’s involvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ultimately, the decision depends on whether Baron Halon is willing to let go of the entire Eagle Ridge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Luo De’s words, Durant nodded slightly in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it’s settled.
