In the slightly dim and stuffy cabin, everyone listened intently to Thor. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

“…… I intend to give up thirty percent of the shares of the Soth Chamber of Commerce to Miss Leonie Conrad - and promise to stand firmly by Miss Leonie's side in the event of war in Votan—"

"We will keep the trade of the Severos unchanged, and we will continue to trade with the Conrad family as it should be. ”

Everyone pondered Thor's words, and thirty percent of the shares of the Thor Chamber of Commerce seemed dispensable to the Conrad family, but it only expressed Thor's determination.

Among these points, the most attractive is probably the option of sending troops, Diana thought for a moment, and confirmed in her heart that what Saul said was actually mainly to win over the Miss Leonie.

With two frowning eyebrows and majestic golden eyes staring at the ground without blinking, Diana couldn't figure out why Nome thought that the Soths' promise of sending troops to support would be valued by the eldest lady of the Conrad family.

The forces controlled by the Conrad family should not lack the strength of the Soth people, after all, the other party does not know the true strength of the Soth tribe - unless- is that Miss Leonie herself needs help, not the Conrad family?

Diana had already guessed that before returning to the cliff corner, Sophie had already told Thor in the correspondence about her plan to recommend the Thus Chamber of Commerce to join Platinum Amber, and also asked how many capable soldiers his clan had, and slightly mentioned that her eldest sister was in urgent need of manpower recently, and the warriors in Thor's hands could become an important bargaining chip for him to join Platinum Amber.

The conflict between Poole and the Saliks, the royal family of France and the Grand Duke of Perrin has been at odds for a long time, and to this day, the son of the deceased Queen Colleen Perrin Bardot, as the eldest prince, is under house arrest in Schönbrunn Palace on charges of "conspiracy".

It is not a matter of a day or two that the current queen Evangeline Lefebble and the court minister Hernans Forlie have framed the eldest prince in the French aristocratic circles, and it is even more said that both Queen Colleen and Princess Catherine were poisoned by Evangeline.

Morey had already told Saul about these rumors of Fran nobles, all because Princess Catherine was Bertha's biological mother, and it was after Catherine's death that Morey escaped from Fran with Bertha.

And this year in the northwest territory, the taxes on the land of the Grand Duke of Perrin have been delayed and delayed for various reasons, and even the almost forgotten King of France, the "lazy king" Frank, has drunk and angrily scolded Perrin as a "bad old dog", and war will break out sooner or later, which is clear to everyone.

"There's a good chance that the Cerveros will lose the support of House Conrad—" Thor said and leaned back against the wall, placing his hand on one of his erected knees, reaching out and touching the fur of the black cat lying next to him.

He smiled at everyone: "Actually, this fifth article can be regarded as a balance of power, and there is no guarantee that Miss Leonie will agree to such an agreement, but for us, it is just a kind of advance consideration." ”

"With the Esseveros arrogant and uninhabited on the island, the initial attack will probably only be seen as a sporadic revolt by a small tribe - and by the time they are forced to call for help from the Conrads, it will be too late. ”

Leon listened to Thor's words, and saw that no one spoke, so he added appropriately: "As long as there is a slight delay, my sister can only accept the fait accompli, anyway, she has no loss, and she has gained a lot of benefits, I am afraid that there is no reason to refuse at that time." ”

By the time he had finished speaking, the room fell silent, everyone digesting what had just been discussed, and while Thor's words sounded foolproof, it was also a challenge for the Thorths, who had swept away many weaker wildlings than themselves, but had never fought head-on with a tribe of more than 10,000 people, or even 100,000 men.

In terms of command, scheduling, strategy, and so on, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of experience or manpower, and this is also a difficult problem in front of them.

But that wasn't the most important thing, as Diana sat quietly at the bottom of Saul's right, and after a moment of silence, asked her final question:

"I admit that what you just said makes a lot of sense, Lord Thor—but I think there's another very important point. ”

Thor scratched his head, Diana's serious appearance really looked a bit like the goddess angel in myths and legends, especially the golden pupils, which made it difficult to look directly.

But this time Thor did not take his eyes off, he looked up along the woman's elegant neck, met Diana's eyes, and said without blinking:

"You say—"

Diana also did not dodge, with a slight trace of worry on her face, sorted out her emotions, looked at Thor and said: "If there is a war with the Sevellos, where will we get the food?" The tribe's current grain stock can barely last for a month and a half, and now that the war starts, not only will most of the fields be wasted, but I am afraid that the harvest in the second half of the year will not be able to catch up, in case we lose...... Then the tribe is really on the road. ”

"Don't worry—it won't take a month and a half. Thor waved his hand at her and said bluntly: "As long as we are well prepared, we will be able to end the battle in less than half a month." ”

"Besides—" He paused, withdrew his hand from the black cat's back, put it on his lap, sat cross-legged, and said:

"Besides, as soon as this battle begins, it will be a battle to the death, if it is defeated, even if the tribe still has food, there is no place for the Sos people in this barren corner, so this is a war that is desperate, sticking out of the cliff, and must be won. ”

"As for the problem of food, I don't think it will be a big problem—there will certainly be no shortage of stocks among the various tribes of the Cerverlos, and if we feed the war by war, we will not have to worry about it at all in a short time. ”

He said with a flash of excitement in his eyes, "And there must be more and more grain, livestock, and slaves in Ujungpandang, the home of the Severo people, and it is not a big problem for us to lose this season's harvest. ”

Thor looked at Diana with unwavering eyes, as if silently speaking, and he could hear Diana's sigh flash in his mind, and then the woman lowered her head, nodded and whispered, "Well—I have no other opinion, I agree with Nome's decision." ”

Diana still didn't understand why Thor was so eager to suddenly start a war against the Severos, as Thor said, the unambitious Severos would only decay day by day, and the Thorsians were getting stronger every day, and waiting for a while was obviously a better choice, so why rush?
