Lan thought for a moment and said, "I want to deliver some supplies to Brokilon."

He had planned to strengthen the construction of Brokilon Town long before returning to Sintra, and now might be a good opportunity.

But East shook his head and said regretfully: "You may have to solve this problem yourself. We are currently at war, so craftsmen and materials should be given priority at the front line."

Lan thought for a moment and said, "How about letting me go to the front line? I have been in the city defense army for a long time. It is time for me to go to the battlefield. And it is ok for me to control my own spoils, right?"

Lan needed more ways to gain experience. Now that he had surpassed the power of ordinary people, he was able to protect himself on the battlefield. Moreover, he was more flexible in leading troops outside, and it would be easier for him to respond if there were any major changes.

Calanthe slammed the table and said, "You are the last Lannister. You can't go to the battlefield. And you have no offspring. I will arrange some cocktail parties for you later. Just wait!"

Lan's mouth twitched.

Finally, he could only say, "There must be some alchemical materials or spellcasting materials in the royal treasury, right? Aunt, you never use these on the battlefield, so they can't be considered war supplies. How about I take some?"

Of course, this is fine. Cintra advocates the use of force and neglects the use of magic and the recruitment of sorcerers. The treasury's collection of alchemical and magical materials is more for the purpose of enriching the diversity of the royal collection, and no one usually uses them.

If it weren't for Mossak holding up the cards, Sintra would be almost completely isolated from magic.

"Of course there is no problem, Lann." Easter said, "Don't think too much. We will compensate you after we drive Nilfgaard away."

After hearing Lan's request, Calanthe frowned, but she did not stop East from making her promise to Lan. She just said:

"I heard from Mossak that you seem to be obsessed with magic. I don't mind you having some hobbies, but Lan, you must know that you are a knight and even more of an earl. You have a more important mission..."

Lann nodded mechanically, using his muscle memory. The purpose of the Queen and her husband coming to see him today was basically achieved.

But now as he looked at the former king of Skellige, an idea occurred to him.

It seems that in the original work, the direct cause of Cintra's defeat and destruction was a great defeat in a valley that Lann had forgotten.

In this battle, the Skellige reinforcements that were supposed to arrive as reinforcements did not arrive due to a storm at sea or other extreme weather conditions, leaving the Cintra army isolated and helpless. This battle not only burned the last elite troops of Cintra, but also killed King Easter with a stray arrow.

What if Skellige's reinforcements had arrived earlier? Would the situation have been different?

Lann suddenly said, "Uncle, I have some questions for you regarding our war with Nilfgaard: Will Skerry provide support for our confrontation with Nilfgaard?"

Thinking of asking for help to boost others' morale when the war just started? When Calanthe heard this, the proud Cintra lioness was about to get angry, but Ester gently placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Lan, it's good that you thought of this. I spent a lot of effort to persuade your aunt to let me go back to my hometown to discuss support." East smiled and said, "It seems that you have good military talents. It's a pity that you didn't go to the battlefield during this rare training opportunity."

"It's just that our situation isn't yet at the point where we need support. Theoretically, we won't reach that point, so you don't have to worry too much. But if the situation really becomes critical, Skellett will definitely not hesitate to lend a helping hand. After all, I'm here, don't worry."

Lann shook his head and said, "I just think that Skellige is our closest and most powerful ally, the first friend we consider and the last friend who will come -"

When he said this, Lan smiled at King Easter.

"But this reinforcement came from the sea. I have never been to the sea, but I have heard a lot from sailors about the unpredictable nature of the sea. I wonder if it would be too late if we ask for help when the crisis really comes?"

"Is it possible for us to let Skellige's army set off ahead of time? If we are in crisis when they arrive, it will be a timely help; if our situation is still good at that time, we can take this opportunity to counterattack Nilfgaard and expand the territory for our two countries."

Calanthe was about to listen no longer, and just as the lioness was about to roar, her husband's hand on her shoulder exerted a little force.

The Queen turned and looked at him, her face displeased.

East seemed not to notice. After a moment's silence, he said to Lan, "Lan, the matter of mobilizing a large army is even more complicated. The gathering of multiple families in Skellerite, the preparation of the troops, and the subsequent transportation of supplies are all interconnected and costly. If a large army is recruited in advance, it may be worse for Cintra than to fight Nilfgaard alone.

I know what you are worried about. You can rest assured about the sailors of Skerrit. They are veterans who have fought in the huge waves for dozens of generations. They will be fine. "

Lan En still did not give up: "Then at least we can divide the army into several routes to avoid being completely blocked by an accident."

Finally, Calanthe couldn't stand it anymore, and stood up and scolded: "Do you know that will increase a lot of unnecessary losses? A small group of soldiers can easily be swallowed up by a large number of enemies ready to go!"

On the other side, Easter didn't say anything. He fell into deep thought after listening to Lann's words.

Lann said, "But isn't fighting in small groups exactly what the Skeletons are best at? And on the sea, who else but the Skeletons can have a large navy?"

Lan was eventually roared out by the lioness.

Queen Calanthe drove all the servants out with a cold face and drank glass of wine after glass.

Seeing his lover like this, East chuckled and stopped thinking, then gently stepped forward and hugged his wife, who was famous for her beauty in the northern countries.

"You dote on him too much, my love. It's the same with Lann and Ciri."

"But they are both good kids, aren't they? Lan is, and so is Ciri. Why do you always disagree with what's going on between the two of them? If I remember correctly, Lan's bloodline is five or six generations away from Ciri, so there is no ethical problem. And they have a deep relationship, so why don't you agree?"

Feeling the king bury his nose in her hair, Calanthe stroked her lover's cheek and sighed, "Because I'm scared."

"Oh? My lioness is also afraid of something?"
