Seeing the signature at the end of the letter, Krober frowned tightly.
He knew Veronica's character very well. If things were not serious to a certain extent, she would not easily express her feelings.
However, now she wrote the following words in this letter:
"Love you - Veronica."
This shows that she herself has no confidence in this war.
Perhaps, she thought that this expedition would be dangerous, so she used this way to express her feelings.
Kroeber took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He knew that Veronica had always been a strong, brave, and proud person, but this war had obviously exceeded her expectations.
He decided to find Veronica as soon as possible and face the war with her.
Whatever the outcome, they will share the responsibility.
The last letter Veronica wrote said that the Golden Duchy was an independent country.
This means that from that time on, she already knew that there was a traitor within the Emerald Kingdom.
If Edwin Bronze Fury and Liam Iron Grey are confirmed to have committed treason, the Emerald Kingdom may really face destruction this time.
Judging from Veronica's choice, she will definitely live and die with the Emerald Kingdom, so I must integrate all the power of the Golden Duchy to provide her with assistance.
With Krober's current strength, he is unable to play a decisive role in this war. He can only contribute to the best of his ability.
Fortunately, Duke Edwin and Duke Liam have not openly declared treason, and they are still fighting for the Emerald Kingdom.
Veronica's letter only said that she had discovered that the two dragon knights showed signs of treason, but there was no actual evidence.
So this is why she only ordered the soldiers to assemble but did not order an attack.
"The future of the Golden Duchy will probably depend on the outcome of this war."
Kroeber sighed.
In this war, if the Emerald Kingdom can turn defeat into victory, then everything will be fine. The Golden Duchy may only have to face one enemy, Edwin Bronze Wrath.
If they lose, the Golden Duchy will probably be on the verge of destruction.
"But what is the gift Veronica wrote in the letter? It can help me escape from here. Could it be..."
Krober's heart was shocked. If things were really as he guessed, then this gift could probably be considered the most precious gift in the world.
However, his current strength is still too weak. After he is promoted to Sky Knight, coupled with the special features of his dragon-eating body, he can even participate in the battles of Dragon Knights.
By then, he might have a chance to change the course of this war.
Then what to do next is very simple.
First of all, it is necessary to order all the nobles in the Golden Duchy to prepare for all-out war.
Secondly, he wanted to take advantage of this period to purchase large quantities of food and military supplies for stockpiling.
Third, he wanted to conduct a large-scale cleanup of all spies from external forces within the territory of the Golden Duchy.
This is to create an ironclad unity within the Golden Duchy.
The Dragon Knights' attention will naturally be on the Emerald Valley, and the Fantasy Beast Knights, as the high-end combat force second only to the Dragon Knights, will naturally gather there.
The strongest enemy Krober could possibly encounter is estimated to be the Sky Knight.
So at the moment, the Golden Duchy will not encounter any very strong enemies.

The next morning, Kroeber held a meeting with the management of St. King Castle in the office.
The main thing is to tell them exactly what I thought of last night.
The intelligence chief suggested that the large force could be divided into two parts, one of which would guard the pass in the northwest region, which is the Crown City of the Golden Rose Family.
The terrain there is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. If the enemy attacks, only a small number of troops are needed to defend it.
The other part is stationed in Fort Saint-Germain as a strategic reserve, ready to provide support to various places at any time.
In this way, not only can manpower be saved, but defense can also be enhanced.
The Saint Gold Castle part of the team was naturally led by Krober himself, while Krober planned to let a great knight from the Frostwolf Marquis family take over temporarily for the noble coalition of Flower Crown City.
The great knight's name is Wayne Frostwolf. He once followed the Marquis Frostwolf in battles across the country and has rich combat experience and prestige.
Moreover, he is upright, loyal and reliable, and is deeply respected by all parties.
It can be said that apart from his poor combat effectiveness, he is a perfect candidate for commander.
The logistics director proposed integrating the caravans and fleets of the various nobles to go to the Emerald Kingdom and other regions to purchase large quantities of food and various supplies.
Because now the entire southern part of the continent has been affected by the war, prices are soaring and supplies are scarce.
If we don’t stockpile supplies in time, we may face difficulties in the future.
Kroeber was indeed not as detailed as they thought on this point, he just had a general idea in his mind.
This, he thought, was why all good rulers were always eager to recruit talented people.
A person's wisdom is always limited, but if we can pool the strength of everyone, we can come up with better ideas.
This is the reason why it is said that one person has less wisdom than two people.
This principle is also applicable in the other world.
"good!"
Krober slammed the table and waved his hand to agree with their suggestions.
"Give orders to those nobles, tell them not to worry about money and buy as much as they can.
Now is the time for the survival of the principality. As long as we can survive this period, there will be plenty of time to make money in the future."
Not only that, for Krober, who also has the background of the Blue Flame Grass family, money is simply a string of numbers.
Krober used his power to allocate one million gold coins and a large number of magic plants to be transported to Scorched Earth Island by sea.
I hope this batch of resources will allow Deep Purple to grow slightly, and become stronger for the upcoming war.
Maybe this is all it takes to succeed.
Speaking of which, there are quite a few elves in the Blue Flame Grass family, but the contractor of these elves, the patriarch of the Blue Flame Grass family, Earl Blue Flame, is fighting on the battlefield at this time.
Krober was unable to contract these elves that already had owners, so he could only "kidnap" them and put them into a box, waiting for an opportunity to contract these elves later.
And of course he couldn't let go of Shirley, the Earth Knight's fighting power.
She will join the war as a member of the Amethyst Rose family.
But Krober would not let her participate in the battle with the Blue Flame Grass Family.
After all, her identity is special. If the Blue Flame Grass family knows about it, it may cause unnecessary trouble.
So Kroeber planned to hide her and use her when needed.
Thanks to Veronica's letter, Krober made adequate preparations in advance.
At the same time, he must win this war no matter what the cost.
