The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
Whether it was Igonia or the witches and subordinates around him, the prettier girls in the Bashalan Empire all had more prominent features...
Frelia's words were rather special. In Sean's opinion, she must have the blood of another ethnic group.
The face of the woman in front of him was more delicate, especially her eyes, which were the most special. Her eyeshadow was very dark. She should not be from the Basaran Empire.
Just when Sean was guessing the other party's identity, the woman actually stood up and said to King Simon on the podium.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Why did you call us here and what are these people doing?" A look of [Dissatisfaction!] and [Confusion!] appeared above his head.
There is no one as strong as her among all the guards around her. Even the two people around her are above level 12.
"Don't be impatient, Commander Melsusa. I asked the Southern Lord to come here this time to explain to you in person the current situation of the Bashalan Empire." King Simon said with a smile.
Mel Souza?
Sean suddenly remembered that this was the commander of the Jagon army mentioned by Marquis Spinola a few days ago, the general under the Sun King!
Sure enough, the level is high enough...
With such high-level allies joining us, we were able to turn defeat into victory on the front battlefield.
"I don't know what the Bashalan Empire is planning, but there is one thing I want to remind Your Majesty Simon. The reward we asked for was given by the Supreme King himself... We would rather give you something practical than just verbal promises. Besides, the amount of food consumed by the cleft-hoofed cattle and pterosaurs we dispatched this time is huge. We have traveled across the entire desert to help you. This request is not too much, right?" Melsusa said.
"Of course not. Without your help the war wouldn't have ended so quickly."
"I'm glad that Your Majesty Simon understands." The woman's respect was obviously gone when she said this. Even if he was not the king of her own country, he was still the ruler of other countries. At least she couldn't call him by his name directly.
And the fact that the woman had already said this meant that she was angry.
The other ministers around wanted to stand up and speak, but were stopped by King Simon.
Turning to look at the southern earls in the center...
"I knew about your arrival the day you arrived, and I also knew your intentions... But you all heard that we were able to quickly end the war with the Borg this time thanks to the help of the Sun King."
"The southern part of the empire has not been affected by the war. That's all thanks to the brave soldiers on the front lines. So all you have to do is pay."
Sean heard it.
King Simon wanted the southern earls to plead with the other side themselves.
Because the king couldn't speak on this matter, otherwise it would be a lack of respect for the other party, and the front line was still fighting the final battle. Any changes could lead to a counterattack from the other party, so if you want to reduce the payment, you have to talk to the other party yourself!
I have a set of skills.
Aren’t you afraid that problems might arise in the southern territory, which would lead to the division of the empire?
Too concerned about face.
Although it was the first time that Sean exempted the king from inspection, he had already labeled the king in his heart... He looked to be in his thirties.
Maybe a little bigger...
After all, he is the king of Basaran, and he looks much younger than his peers with his fine clothes and delicious food.
It is estimated that besides himself, some other earls in the South also understood the meaning of this, but there is nothing he can do... Others are from other countries, but he is from the Bashalan Empire. If the king doesn't want to say it, can he still let him say it?
Several people looked at each other...
Finally, it was the Marquis Spinola who began to speak.
"Commander Melsusa, I don't think you quite understand the situation here. The war six months ago brought us a huge disaster, and all of us provided sufficient support and supplies to the front line. Life is very difficult right now, and it's difficult to pay such a high reward..."
A lot of reasons have been mentioned, but they are specifically the problems faced by all southern lords.
However, these reasons are simply [disdainful! ] in the eyes of the other party.
"That's your problem. I'm just following the Sun King's orders."
The female commander on the other side clearly didn't like to dwell on this kind of issue, so she supported them as agreed...
"But we simply can't come up with that much money, otherwise the entire southern Basaran will collapse."
"You just mentioned financial hardship, didn't you? So Basharan is still able to pay... But please don't forget, if we don't come, the war will spread to the south within a year, and by then, your small donation won't be enough to solve the problem."
Unable to communicate.
The other side has strong military power, and this time they helped the empire defeat the enemy... At this moment, it seems that any request is allowed.
At this time, Grand Duke Haruman, who was sitting at the foot of the platform, finally spoke.
"Your Excellency, Commander, perhaps you should listen more to their reasons. I had the honor of meeting the High King over twenty years ago. I was deeply impressed by his wisdom and benevolence. I believe he is a reasonable man and should listen to their opinions."
"Are you saying that I am unreasonable, Grand Duke?" Melsusa looked at Duke Haruman.
"Please don't be angry... I mean, we have many reasons. On the one hand, we have to deal with the Borg's frontal attacks and continuously strengthen our defenses, while on the other hand, we have to defend against their flank attacks. We have also suffered heavy losses in various battles, even in the battle with the Desert Golden Group."
