"What is it?" Robert asked curiously after hearing Maad's words. At this time, Maad searched inside his robe, and after a while he found an envelope and handed it to Robert.
"Please have a look at this, Mr. Robert..."
Listening to Maad's words, Robert took the envelope, opened it after checking it, took out the contents and checked them. After looking at them for a few times, Robert frowned and said.
"This is……"
"This is a joint letter, with signatures from the kings of Hajiji, Nargis, Kujiya, etc. These countries, like Adus, are kingdoms in Northern Ukraine, and all of you great powers... also have different interests in these countries.
"You also saw in the letter that the kings of these countries were sympathetic to the cruel experience suffered by Baruch, and they were also worried whether what happened to Baruch today would happen to them again. This is not a groundless assumption, Mr. Robert. You see, many countries in this letter said that the rebels in their respective countries have become more and more rampant recently, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress them. This is because Shadi's achievements have set an example for them. Shadi is now a hero of the rebels in these countries. They all take Shadi as an example and are carrying out their own careers...
"Mr. Robert, please do not think that if you lose Adus, you will only lose the interests of Adus. The power of example is infinite. Once Shadi's story can succeed, once Adus's revolution is completely victorious, then the entire northern Ukraine will not be stable. If you do not stop the loss in time, the interests lost by you in the end will be far more than Adus.
"Look, Mr. Robert, the noble kings of these countries... are all worried. They are worried that the rebellion in their country will turn into something like what happened in Adus. They are worried that the superior countries can really provide them with protection. They are worried that their future will become like ours. That's why they have this joint letter. I think the superior countries should give them some necessary explanations..."
With an absolutely respectful demeanor, Maad spoke slowly to Robert. Listening to Maad's words and looking at the signature in different handwritings and the royal seal of different styles on the letter, Robert could not help but fall into silence.
After a long silence, when the cigar in his hand was almost burned out, Robert slowly spoke.
"This... I need to report it and ask for the opinions of my superiors and other colleagues before I can make a decision... This may take some time."
"Then... I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Robert... The future of Baruch depends entirely on you..."
After listening to Robert's words, Maad stood up from his chair, knelt on the ground, and said gratefully.
…
It was night time, still in Robert's villa on the outskirts of Kankerdal.
The lights were still flickering in the villa late at night. In the luxurious reception room of the villa, Robert, dressed in formal attire, was sitting on the main seat. In front of him, there were several translucent shadows of varying sizes sitting on the guest seats. Upon closer inspection, these shadows were all men wearing the gentleman's clothes of the main continent.
The well-dressed men sat in their respective seats, having heated discussions with each other. Most of the language they used in the discussion was Farajo, which they were not very fluent in. When the discussion became heated, languages of other countries would occasionally pop up, which showed that the nationalities of this group of phantoms seemed to be different.
Robert was sitting in the main seat, looking intently at the phantoms in front of him and listening carefully to their discussion. He did not often express his opinions, but only spoke out reminders and guided the topic when the discussion became heated, as if he was the host of the discussion.
This discussion lasted for several hours, during which time the shadows at those positions occasionally disappeared and reappeared, and people were replaced from time to time.
Finally, in the early hours of the morning, after a long discussion, the meeting seemed to have come to a conclusion. After everyone had finished speaking, Robert finally stood up from his seat and slowly spoke to the shadows in front of him.
"Well... tonight, we have come to some understanding. What Mr. Watt said before is very correct. Baruch and his group want to use us to restore their country. Although their motives are despicable, their demands cannot be completely ignored. After all, the royal families and rebels of other Northern Wu Kingdoms have shifted their attention here. No matter what the final outcome here is, it will have an impact on the entire Northern Wu.
"Adus will be a role model, which can be positive or negative. What we need to do is to maintain this role model on the positive side. For the future stability of the situation in northern Ukraine, we must take action."
Robert said this, and his words were nodded in agreement by most of the phantoms present, only one phantom asked.
"But... siding with Baruch on the issue of Adus is equivalent to going against those charlatans in Shenglin Mountain..."
"No, no, no... It's not time yet. Before the two sides issued their statements, Shenglinshan's position had not yet sided with Shadi... Therefore, before that, we still have some room for maneuver."
Robert immediately responded, and after hearing his words, another shadow spoke.
"Manipulation space? Mr. Robert, which side are you referring to? Shadi... or..."
"Shadi is too far away from us. I am referring to the little nun who is about to arrive in Kankedar..."
