Unfortunately, the two territories were far apart and did not lie within the same region. This meant that, no matter what, John could not avoid one of the territories becoming an isolated enclave without support.
This was undoubtedly a common situation faced by many territories; where could one find so many suitable lands that could be interconnected? Often, those so-called territories were merely scattered fragments, distributed haphazardly. They intertwined with one another, creating a complex web that was enough to give anyone a headache.
Even more perplexing was the fact that some territories had portions located within the Hecha Kingdom while other parts lay in different kingdoms altogether. It was said that in the renowned Twelve Kingdoms, there were even two kingdoms that jointly revered the same king! What was even more astonishing was that these two kingdoms were not adjacent; they were separated by considerable distance, perhaps even by the domains of other powers.
As his thoughts began to swirl, John started preparing to send out a delegation. After careful consideration, he decided to dispatch a powerful Epic Level Expert along with several Transcendent Knight s to ensure everything went smoothly. As for the regular troops, with an Epic-level expert overseeing them, their presence seemed less critical.
Regarding who specifically should be sent, John had made up his mind: it would be Togusa Kazuto, one of the skilled dual-wielding swordsmen among his entourage. John found himself somewhat surprised by Togusa's background. He realized that most of the experts he had drawn upon were actually renowned characters from his past life’s anime. Having fought against Togusa Kazuto himself, John knew well that he was genuinely a master of technique and possessed exceptional skills.
John held Natasha tightly, leaning in to whisper softly in her ear: "My dear, tomorrow I will arrange for my capable subordinates to assist you in managing our territory. If you find overseeing the territory tedious, feel free to visit the Salted Fish Territory for some leisure or return to the capital to enjoy some relaxation. I am quite busy here and may not be able to break away for a while."
Natasha shot him a playful glance, her enchanting eyes shimmering like gentle spring water as she replied softly: "Oh no, I would much rather stay by your side and accompany you. And such an important matter—why aren’t you handling it personally?" Natasha felt a twinge of worry; after all, the knights under her command were no ordinary individuals. Although John had many Transcendent Knight s at his disposal, completely eliminating these enemies was not guaranteed.
Gently stroking Natasha's silky hair, John understood her concerns well. He smiled reassuringly: "Sweetheart, don’t worry! I will send a powerful Epic-level knight to accompany you. With him protecting you, I doubt those fellows will cause any trouble."
Upon hearing the term "Epic-level," Natasha's eyes widened in surprise. She had never imagined that this seemingly ordinary little troublemaker she adored possessed such incredible strength—not only was he an Epic-level knight himself, but he also commanded top-tier experts among his ranks. In an instant, Natasha felt both astonished and proud.
After hesitating for a moment, Natasha nodded gently and replied: "Well then, since you've made arrangements, I’ll go along with your plan."
Seeing the beauty in his arms, John couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with affection and leaned in closer.
