As the Duke of the Empire, Thorin knows quite a lot.

As he told it, the image of the Imasca Empire gradually took shape in Garen's mind.

After listening, Garen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to get the secret weapon of Imask.

Especially the Imaskar Crown.

"The Imasca Empire is at its peak at this time. There are thousands of weapon lords, most of whom are legendary weapon masters, and there are also a large number of weapons such as mechanical titans to guard the city...

.. If you want to get the secret weapon by robbing it, it will be as difficult as reaching the sky."

Thorin's Maple Leaf City alone has twelve mechanical titans.

If he hadn't left the city alone to control a mechanical Titan in order to kill his brother, Garen wouldn't have captured an Imperial Duke so easily, and Maple Leaf City was not considered a big city in the Imasca Empire.

The Ordnance Corps in the capital of the Imasca Empire described by Thorin made Garondo fearful.

Garen's eyes swept across the Mechanical Titan, sizing up this strange mechanical creation.

"The Mechanical Titan is only in the middle and lower reaches of the legendary level of magical creations... The military strength of the Imasca Empire is worthy of the name of the empire."

"If I want to get the secret weapon of the empire, I may have to wait until the Imasca Empire encounters a strong enemy and fish in troubled waters."

Garen didn't know when the Imasca Empire would decline.

The current Imasca Empire shows no sign of decline at all. It is the largest power in eastern Faerûn. And according to Thorin, the Imasca Empire royal family is no longer satisfied with the existing territory and plans to expand its influence to Faerûn.

March in other directions on the continent to unify the continent.

"The Imasca Empire has this strength."

"However, when it was destroyed, it was still not the only overlord of Faerûn."

Garen thought silently relying on the information he had.

"The Imasca Empire has the strength to become a continental hegemon. They also have this idea now, but they failed."

A breeze blew past the fallen leaves.

"This means that when they were planning to conquer Faerun, they encountered some kind of change."

"Perhaps, this is the opportunity that leads to the destruction of the empire."

Garen combed through the details.

He wasn't sure if his idea was right, but judging from the information he had now, he felt it was very possible.

If some changes had not occurred and the Imaskar Empire was now expanding, Netheril would have no chance to develop, and the future Floating City Empire would cease to exist.

With the strength of this strange weapon empire, there is no force in Faerûn that can resist them at this time.

So the question is, what happened that caused the Imaskar Empire to fail in its expansion and become stranded in the eastern part of Faerûn?

Garen thought silently.

"Thorin, when will the Imasca Empire begin to expand?"

Thorin thought for a while and said: "The empire is getting stronger and stronger. The lords of miraculous weapons are hoarding countless miraculous weapons. The existing territory of the empire can no longer satisfy the royal family and lords. There are conflicts among the lords of miraculous weapons.

It’s getting worse and worse, and the friction is constant.”

"In order to alleviate the conflicts within the empire, the war of conquest is about to begin."

"The royal family has not issued specific instructions."

"But according to my estimation, the empire will launch a war and expand to other places within one year at the earliest and three years at the latest."

As an Ordnance Lord, he has just taken office, so although he is among the weakest among them, Thorin still understands the situation in the empire relatively well.

Listening to Thorin's words, Garen was thoughtful.

"Repair the Mechanical Titan and return to your territory."

"When I need you, I will naturally notify you."

"Your mission is to keep your position as Duke, while increasing your influence within the empire and gaining more trust and intelligence from the imperial royal family. If necessary, I will provide you with support."

Garen said in a deep voice.

As night fell, the newly minted Lord of Artifacts returned to his territory.

"The next step is to wait."

Garen knew that he could not shake the Imasca Empire.

But its decline and destruction are destined, and Garen only needs to wait, waiting for the Imasca Empire to provoke their real enemy.

With Thorin as a chess piece, he can know the trends of the Imasca Empire in advance, and then choose the most appropriate time to take action based on what he knows about the future.

This may take a long time.

However, what Galleon lacks most is time, especially within this timeline.

The patient hunter crouched down, waiting in the darkness for his prey to weaken.
