Bradley stared at him blankly.
Louis continued, "Not just to survive the upcoming storm, but to... go further."
Bradley suddenly looked up, and for a moment, it seemed as if he saw the outline of a new Empire slowly forming in Louis' eyes.
It wasn't ambition, but rather the inevitability bestowed upon him by the era.
"By the way," Louis suddenly asked, "How are the preparations for the Northern Territory reconstruction meeting?"
Bradley immediately came back to reality: "Everything is as you instructed. The location is set at Frost Halberd City, the time is autumn."
Frost Halberd City, the old capital of the Northern Territory, the political center and spiritual symbol.
The city that had turned into scorched earth amid the fires of the Nest and Barbarian Race was quietly rebuilt by Louis.
