My vampire princess wants to repay a debt of gratitude.

"Whether it's Meor, Iraf, or Denisa, whoever comes to this land first will inevitably clash with the locals and begin colonial rule."

"When we colonize, Innis can come to these islands under the banner of justice, unite the locals, and say that he will help them drive out the invaders and rightfully rule this continent. At that time, all favorable factors will be on Innis's side. They have the strongest ocean fleet, advanced tanks and cannons, and the hearts of the people. And you should know that the Norfell people's tribal language is to unite all forces that can be united. Moreover, they are good at intelligence work and are a native vampire on this island. They will give us a fatal counterattack."

Lin Mo revealed Innis's conspiracy, and everyone suddenly understood.

"According to you, going to the Canary Islands first would actually be detrimental to us?"

"Tracy asked."

Lin Mo ignored his question and looked directly at Luton, "To win this war, I need supreme command."

Luton was taken aback. He had initially regarded the Golden Child as a mascot, a symbol of Torid's growing strength, and did not think that the Golden Child actually had any real power.

Along the way, Ye Zimo dealt with the pirate group, entered Island 1, and easily resolved the pollution issue on the island.

Even so, it would be difficult for him to relinquish supreme command.

Even the Queen wouldn't dare let Luton relinquish supreme command.

Not only was Luton surprised, but everyone present was stunned. They never expected that the Son of Gold would ask for supreme command.

“Miss Lilith, although you are the Son of Gold, this is your first time participating in a war.”

"It is Luton's adjutant," Luton said sternly, with a hint of disdain in his voice.

General Shikov picked up his coffee cup, took a sip, and said, "The era will eventually be handed over to the young, so why are you in such a hurry? I admit that you are very capable in other areas, but isn't it a bit too fast to ask for command in your first battle?"

"If we're talking about young people, then all of you here are just toddlers learning to walk compared to me. I've experienced hundreds, if not thousands, of wars."

Lin Mo was referring to Ye Zimo, who was indeed an ancestor compared to these young people.

“I have studied all the wars that have broken out in Torid over the past few years. I know the names and specialties of each of you. I also know about Innis, Denise, and Ilav. Most importantly, I know about their Golden Sons.”

“If it weren’t for the fact that you are all my descendants, I would never have asked you for supreme command. I could have turned you all into puppets like Tremb.”

At this moment, a kind of pressure emanated from Lin Mo, the aura of a superior.

It was by using the power of a wizard to amplify Ye Zimo's aura, creating a kind of intimidating force that made all the attendees tremble.

The Son of Gold was their ancestor!

Chapter 279 Ancestor!

Ye Zimo scanned everyone present and accurately stated their names, family backgrounds, personalities, quirks, and the ancestral artifacts they possessed.

They are all celebrities in the Torid army. Their names and backgrounds are easy to investigate, and their personalities and quirks can be found in various gossip news. But the Ancestral Artifact is the only thing that is absolutely their trump card and will never be exposed to the outside world.

At this moment, their gazes toward Ye Zimo became noticeably more respectful, with a hint of fear in them.

"You...are you really our ancestor?"

Ruhr asked incredulously.

Lin Mo mimicked Ye Zimo's tone and said calmly, "I am already 2000 years old. Is there anyone here who is older than that?"

"2000 years old?!"

Even Luton looked on incredulously shocked, almost dropping his cigar onto the table.

They had indeed heard the rumors of the Son of Gold's immortality, but they never imagined it was all true.

The girl in front of me looks only a teenager, but she has actually lived for 2000 years.

This is simply a miracle!

A miracle of the vampires!

They didn't know that in the real world, vampires can basically live to this age as long as they aren't pinned to death by wooden stakes.

General Luton and Shikov exchanged a glance, recalling the current situation of Pirate King Tremb. They realized that the Son of Gold indeed had the power to turn them into his puppets without them even realizing it, a thought that sent chills down their spines.

"If you can guarantee that the final victory of this war belongs to us, Meor, I can hand over the supreme command of the Allied Forces to you, Lady Lilith."

Luton changed his way of addressing Ye Zimo, realizing that this person might be his true ancestor, and he had to show her even more respect.

"I swear on the honor of Toridor that this victory will belong to me, to all of Toridor."

Ye Zimo said this herself; Lin Mo did not say it for her.

All the cadres stood up and gave Ye Zimo a military salute unique to Toredo.

"Supreme command is now in your hands."

Luton waved his hand, and the adjutant handed Luton's military seal to Ye Zimo.

"I don't need this."

Lin Mo refused the military seal, saying, "Keep this. Now let's discuss the next steps."

Everyone watched Lin Mo intently, and Ye Zimo also wanted to know what Lin Mo planned to do.

"First, we have reached a cooperation agreement with the Nofele tribe in the underground world of Island 1. I will have Jerry draft the cooperation agreement as soon as possible. There are two main points that you need to know: First, the Nofele tribe members have equal rights with us, and we are allies. Second, the soldiers of Toridor are not allowed to harm the Nofele tribe members, nor are they allowed to plunder anything from them, not even a stone engraved with their names."

Luton frowned slightly, and the others exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Lilith to make such an arrangement.

The Torid are a proud people; how could they accept being on equal footing with the ugly Norfiel?

Although they had only been on Island 1 for a short time, they had already seen the dead indigenous people on the island.

In their minds, the Nofele people are simply the ugliest ethnic group in the world.

"In return, Nofele also showed their utmost sincerity. They were willing to open the blood mines for joint mining by Toridor and Nofele, with a 50/50 split. Toridor would be responsible for providing protection to Nofele, and Nofele would be responsible for providing us with intelligence, thus forming a friendly alliance."

"A 50/50 split? Isn't that too little?"

Ruhr and Tracy said in unison that their goal was the Bloodstone mine. They originally intended to put all the ore into Meor's pocket, so how could they allow the locals to keep so much profit?

"If you knew the information they provided, you wouldn't think a 50/50 split is too little."

Lin Mo said with a smile.

Luton raised an eyebrow slightly: "What kind of intelligence did they provide?"

"What I'm about to say is absolutely confidential, and I don't want you to reveal it to anyone."

Lin Mo feigned mystery.

Luton nodded, and the others followed suit.

Lin Mo walked to the map, picked up a slender metal cane, and found it easy to use, though he didn't know who had left it in the conference room.

The cane pointed to area 2 on the map: "This area is ostensibly controlled by Innis and Denise, but in reality, there's a dungeon below, inhabited by over 10 Norfells. The city lord is Megissi More Norfell, a very xenophobic fellow. The dungeon is built 500 meters underground, making it difficult to detect. However, once Innis or Denise starts mining blood ore, it will inevitably provoke a backlash from the dungeon's lord. Therefore, we should leave Island 2 alone for now and observe from the sidelines. I suspect Innis will want Denise's army to be cannon fodder for offending the Norfells."

"10 people?? There are so many? Do they all live in the underground world??"

Ruhr gaped in surprise, while Tracy gave him a disdainful look. "Do these ugly people dare to live on the surface of the world other than the underworld?"

“Watch your words, my current allies. I do not want you to display racism; it is unbecoming of Toridor’s elegance.”

Lin Mo glanced at Tracy, who pursed her lips but said nothing more.

"This intelligence is indeed very useful, but can they guarantee that they will continue to provide such effective intelligence?"

Shikov asked excitedly, knowing the importance of intelligence as a veteran of many battles.

"Of course, as long as our cooperation goes smoothly, the wind in the air and the soil on the ground will become our eyes. The Nofele people are best at intelligence gathering. If we can gain their trust and support, we will have won one-third of the war."

Lin Mo said with a smile.

Only then did the 11 participants realize how far ahead the Golden Child was from them, having already grasped such a crucial clue. Was this the power of their ancestors? Strategizing and planning with complete confidence.

They suddenly had even greater expectations for victory in this war. The words they had spoken when they joined the war before were merely for moral support. After losing for so many years, no one was confident that they could really defeat Innis. But now it was different. Knowing that the Golden Son was the ancestor of the Toridor, they were full of confidence.

"Okay, then I agree to a 50/50 split."

General Luton seemed to have been persuaded, but in reality, even if he disagreed, he couldn't do anything since the supreme command was in Ye Zimo's hands.

Lin Mo nodded slightly and continued to point to area number 3 with his cane.

"This area is a forbidden land. No vampire is allowed to set foot here. The children of the Barthol tribe all know that the Forbidden Land of Fissell is a place that must never be entered. On the second day after entering the Forbidden Land, everyone will have their souls stolen by an unknown entity."

The crowd looked on with surprise and uncertainty, never expecting that there would be such a forbidden area in the Atlantis Islands.

They initially planned to attack Island 3 directly. If they hadn't known about this intelligence, how many people would have died on Island 3?

Chapter 280 Schemes

General Luton had finished three cigars and lit a fourth.

"What does Lady Lilith mean?"

"Send men to surround the area around Island Number Three, right here in this shallow sea area. There's no need to go ashore. Just create the illusion that we've already occupied this area and spread the news that Island Number Three not only has abundant blood ore but also treasure. Make up a story and have the pirates spread it through the taverns to attract Innis, Ilav, and Denise."

"Aren't the Italians our allies?"

"I asked innocently," Ruhr asked.

"On the battlefield, there are only eternal interests. If the Italians don't show up, Innis won't be fooled."

Luton reminded him.

Ruhr nodded. "What if someone who's interested in Luffy falls for it? Wouldn't we have unwittingly lost an ally?"

"That depends on whether the story you come up with is attractive enough. What would make Innis have to come? Island No. 3 is a natural fishpond. We just need to cast out the bait and we can fish here. You, Luton, will arrange this yourself."

Lin Mo looked at Luton, who nodded, accepting the task. Luton had the most dealings with Innis, and as an old rival, he understood better what Innis's army wanted. He was the perfect person to dig this pit.

"The next step is to get along well with the locals on Island 1 and to cooperate more deeply with the Bator region as soon as possible."

Shikov, you are in charge of sending troops to build houses, schools, auditoriums, hospitals and other infrastructure for them, so that they can see our sincerity and recognize our culture.

Tracy and Ruhr, you two are in charge of mining the blood veins as soon as possible. I have read the research on bloodstone. The blood extracted from bloodstone can not only replenish physical strength, but also give ordinary vampires super physical strength, and improve their strength, speed and agility. This is of great significance for strengthening our Toridor army.

I've found the liaison for Bartholomew's camp, it's Jerry. Although he didn't attend the meeting, you guys will need to work together from now on."

Ruhr and Tracy exchanged a glance; Lilith's intention was clearly to groom Jerry.

Who would have thought that Jerry would have such good luck, being chosen by his ancestor.

"Yes, Lady Lilith."

Ruhr and the others replied.

"What about us?"
