After hearing Krober's explanation, everyone's faces instantly became solemn.
They remembered clearly that Krober had made it clear in Maple Leaf Town before that he brought seven lower-level dragon knights with him this time.
At that time, everyone believed that this was the entire combat power of the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom.
After all, this number is already quite a lot!
In terms of ranking, the strength of the troops brought by Krober is second only to Ashardron.
But unexpectedly, seven lower-level dragon knights were not the limit of the Amethyst Ocean Current Kingdom!
Harold's heart moved when he heard this.
His intuition told him that now was a good opportunity to attack Kroeber.
So he was the first to stand up, his face showing anger, his fists clenched, and he shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, this is a crucial battle that determines whether humanity can successfully rule the world. How can you be so selfish?"
"If we leave half of our high-level combat forces in the country without authorization, what if the Winged People have hidden strong men and cause us to fail in this war?"
Harold's words made the atmosphere tense, and everyone looked at Krober, waiting for his response.
Alvis looked at Krober worriedly. He was afraid that his brother-in-law was too impulsive. If he went to war with other countries now, the chances of winning would not be very high.
Zhanlan and Ashardron were still there, but their expressions seemed relaxed, and they didn't seem to take Harold's attack seriously.
Kroeber sat in his seat, looking at Harold expressionlessly without saying a word.
He knew Harold was trying to use this opportunity to attack him, but he didn't care.
These are just some ridiculous political tactics. In the face of absolute strength, all these messy tactics are useless.
Don’t you see that no one except you dares to stand up and accuse him?
With a disdainful sneer, Krober slowly said:
"Your Majesty Harold, I understand your concerns, but my decision has been carefully considered."
"Leaving half of the high-level combat forces at home is to ensure national security and stability."
"I'm different from you. There's a space-time rift in my country that belongs to the Mind Flayer world!"
"The Mind Flayer Rebellion that swept through the Emerald Kingdom and the Golden Duchy is no joke. If we don't send a heavy force to guard it, we won't be able to respond in time."
"Also, the Winged People's previous tactics were very clear. They used the weak to avoid the strong, and mainly relied on guerrilla warfare. So I will have to send more troops to the country."
"Do you think I'm the same as you?"
"Do you want me to give you an example?"
"Some unlucky guy whose house was robbed."
Killing people and destroying their hearts!
The faces of the kings whose homes were stolen turned ugly, and even Alvis felt a little embarrassed.
But they were all kings, rulers of a country, so it was impossible for them to be made to behave in an ugly manner by Krober's words. At most, their faces just looked a little unhappy.
"Besides, how many dragon knights does the Winged People have? And how many dragon knights have we brought with us this time?"
Without waiting for Harold to answer, Kroeber answered it himself.
"The Winged Tribe only has three high-ranking dragon knights! And one is missing!"
"What about us? There are six of us! Six against two, and we're being played for fools by the enemy!"
"Is this because the Winged People are too smart? Is this because the Winged King Salem is too wise?"
"fart!!"
"To put it bluntly, the reason this war is so difficult is all your fault, Harold!"
"By exposing their position, the Winged People seized the opportunity and caused losses of this magnitude to other countries."
"How dare you take on the position of commander-in-chief? This war you're leading is nothing but shit! I could find any serf who could command better than you!"
Harold had been king for hundreds of years, and no one had ever dared to curse him like that to his face.
More importantly, Krober's scolding was quite reasonable, and he almost expressed what everyone was thinking.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife!
Krober's sharp knife had completely destroyed Harold's dignity in front of everyone.
“You…you!!”
Harold's face flushed red, and it was unclear whether he was angry or embarrassed or for some other reason. He raised his hand tremblingly and pointed his finger at Krober. He pointed for a long time without saying a word.
"Me? I'm fine! I was trying to save some face for His Majesty Harold, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. In that case, we have to talk it over."
To be honest, Krober now wanted to kill Harold directly, but he couldn't be so impulsive. He still needed to subdue several other kings for his own use.
Killing Harold would only bring temporary relief, but the consequences would be very troublesome.
He quarreled with Harold and even beat him up, which were just minor conflicts among human groups.
But if someone dies, it would be a major incident.
Although Harold was stupid, he was, after all, a high-ranking dragon knight and the king of a country.
Now the seven nations have finally united under his leadership, and he cannot do something that would destroy his own destiny.
Moreover, there was no big grudge between him and Harold, it was just that Harold had always been unhappy with Kroeber.
Kroeber guessed that it was Harold's racism that was at work, and he was very dissatisfied with his use of the sea people as the king's hand and major officials.
After all, the sea people manage humans, and for Harold, this is like rubbing his life creed into the ground.
