Chapter 210 Family Voting
Nasir Town, East Coast Province.
The Fisher family is holding a new family meeting, and the issues they discuss are critical.
That is, the Fisher family has not received a large sum of money, and that money is the final payment for the military supplies provided to the Kingdom of Syat this year, and they should be delivered from the Syat treasury.
However, the balance has been overdue for three months, and the higher-ups are still urging the production of new military supplies. Now the Fischer family can only produce at a loss.
In the past, the Fisher family became truly wealthy by relying on the war profits from the naval wars. The confidence that allowed them to expand the town of Nasir undoubtedly lay in the war profits, but the current situation was that the powerful King Syat was in arrears with the final payment.
Vanessa was dressed in white, with her arms folded across her chest. She thought for a while, then looked at Byrne and said:
"Since the beginning of this war, our factory has been working hard without stopping, but King Syat has owed us part of the money and has not paid it yet. What should we do?"
"If we don't stop production now, we will be working at a loss every day. If we continue like this, even the cash flow of the Fischer family will not be able to support it."
Lillian and Chris also looked at Byrne. Now, all matters of the Fisher family, big or small, were basically decided by the four of them.
Kano and Christine were still relatively young and not old enough to participate in Fischer's family meetings.
Although Vanessa is not a family member, she has been fully recognized by everyone, so in recent years she has been able to make an exception and attend the core meetings of the Fisher family.
Byrne nodded slightly and said without hesitation:
"Let's continue with the blood transfusion."
"We can talk about the balance later, but at least at this critical moment, we must do our best for Syat."
"Because if the war on the front line collapses, we won't have any good results in the rear, especially if the Rheans really attack, the geographical location of the East Coast Province will be the first front line to bear the brunt."
“When the time comes, we will also need support from all over the country in Syat to persevere.”
Chris listened silently. He didn't like money and didn't care about these messy things at all.
No one in the family wanted him to be distracted. After all, Chris's long run to godhood meant that he didn't need to get involved in too many worldly affairs, otherwise it would affect his speed in becoming stronger.
However, even so, Chris felt that mastering the power of the fourth level was a completely distant goal.
The time required to fully master and digest the sequence power of the fourth level is likely to be longer than the total time of the first to fourth levels combined!
Lillian thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "But father, what about the loss of the Fisher family? Our expenses on the island are also very high."
The Fisher family's plan to build a sea base was also approved by them through a vote on the scale of faith.
At that time, Lillian and Chris both voted in favor, while Vanessa voted against it. Byrne hesitated for a long time before voting in favor.
The Siat Kingdom has limited land on the Oden continent and no longer has room for them to develop vigorously. However, the vast ocean is still a lawless area that can be developed, which is very suitable for the development of the Fisher family who owns the port.
"Don't worry. The canned sunlight business has already started. We will make more and more money from selling sunlight. It will not be less than the wealth we made from the war."
Byrne comforted Lillian, knowing that what he said was just a euphemism and that the Fisher family was indeed suffering, but he also understood that this was the only way.
Since the entire country of Syat has decided to suck your blood, the best policy is to be honest. If you go against the almighty King Syat, or go over to bargain, and finally affect the entire war situation, that would be a bit ignorant.
"King Syat is a reasonable man. He will remember our efforts."
Byrne had never met King Syat, but he knew in his heart that the old man had a very good relationship with the Duke of Black Iron, and had always been able to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments.
He believed that as long as they could hold out until the war was won, King Syat would definitely compensate the Fisher family.
Well, if we lose the war, it’s hard to say.
Vanessa also nodded and said with a wry smile:
"We have been tied to the chariot. Let's just pray for a great victory on the front line. The worst case scenario is that the front line loses completely, and King Syat is forced to default on his debt, and even the East Coast Province is subsequently invaded by the Rhea people..."
Byrne took out the Scales of Faith again, looked at his daughter and said:
"Since you have doubts in your mind, then vote on whether or not to continue to provide military supplies."
Lillian nodded slightly.
The final result of the vote was four votes in favor, and all the family members agreed with Byrne's idea. Lillian was not even convinced, but she actually knew that she could only endure it now, but she just felt uncomfortable.
When the family meeting was over and they had just left the basement, they soon saw Theo waiting outside with an anxious look on his face.
The burly old man bowed, looked into Byrne's eyes, and said:
"Sir Byrne, a seriously injured soldier has returned from the front line in Rhea. He said he wanted to pass on some urgent news! And he refused to tell anyone else, saying that he would only tell you the information after seeing you!"
Byrne and the others were stunned for a moment, and soon came to the reception room and saw the seriously injured people who were dying.
He was a middle-aged man who was seriously injured and dying. His face was pale due to excessive blood loss, his body was covered with cold sweat, and he did not look very clear-headed.
If the Fisher family had not given him emergency treatment, this middle-aged man might not have survived until now.
Although Byrne arrived, the man had no reaction. He mumbled and was unable to utter a complete sentence.
"Heal him, Lillian."
Before Byrne finished speaking, Lillian had already used the power of runes on her own, and the next moment, a spring-like green atmosphere suddenly filled the surroundings of the room.
Powerful healing power instantly surged into the man, and the seriously injured man's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The near-death state just now seemed like an illusion. He soon woke up, and the lost flesh and blood were completely restored. Only the residual pain was still difficult to subside in his body and mind.
"Amazing, so amazing, such a powerful force..."
The middle-aged man was stunned and speechless for a long time, then he looked at Byrne with wide eyes.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Byrne Fisher? Darren Fisher's father?"
Byrne was stunned for a moment. Why was the question asked in this way? Was that man related to Darren?
Did he know about Darren?
Thinking of this, Byrne immediately nodded with a serious expression.
"yes."
Hearing Byrne's answer, the middle-aged man immediately became excited, stood up excitedly, and said shakily:
"I am a friend of Darren Fisher! I have very important information to convey, Lord Byrne, can I speak here?"
"You're Darren's friend! Where is he now?"
Byrne was also very excited, and the joy in his eyes could not be concealed. Lillian and others could not help but reveal their curiosity.
"He got separated from us. We were pursued by a powerful enemy and separated to escape back to Syat through the jungle. This is how our story went..."
The man looked very excited, even a little incoherent. He finally recounted everything that had happened in the past few years and finally explained the most important information.
They found the Rheans gathering their troops at the border!
The Fisher family members looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. They were all very surprised that Darren was still alive, but at the same time they were worried about the gathering of the Rhean army.
Byrne thought deeply for a while, and then said seriously: "Tio, send someone to pass the message to the Lion Family, the Roman Family, and King Syat at the same time!"
"We can't make this decision alone!"
"Yes, I understand."
Theo nodded solemnly with a serious expression, knowing very well the seriousness of the matter. If the East Coast Province fell, the entire Syat might be defeated.
"Also, we need to have the four towns fully prepared for both war and escape. The enemy has a large number of troops. Well, I predict that there may be multiple powerful monarchs."
Having said this, Byrne closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.
He could feel that the other party was most likely not lying, and if what the man said was completely true, then this time the Rhean army was coming with great force, and it was definitely not something that the Fisher family could resist alone.
"It's a bit strange. The forces of the Meyer family camp in the Rhea people are doing their best just to counter the combined efforts of Siat and King Rhea."
"But why do they still have the strength to attack the East Coast Province? Could it be that they have some kind of external help?"
Byrne was talking to himself, and suddenly remembered something Viscount Best said.
The various conflicts between the Syats and the Mayers have never been just problems between the two countries. The politics of the four eastern countries are a whole.
He suddenly had a flash of enlightenment and frowned.
"Could it be that someone from Valere or Kania is involved?"
