After an afternoon of discussions, the proposal for war was finally passed. The civilian side is still opposed, but the cabinet of this world does not have the same rights as the cabinet of the late Ming Dynasty, at most it is just to put forward opinions, and the person who makes the decision is still the lord of Garsein, and another reason for them to reluctantly agree is Linton's side.

Yes, Linton also said that if he really can't take the gold mine and drags it into a protracted war, he will find a way to pay for food. This is still a bit credible, because Linton didn't have to build in Togart City before, and then he didn't have any money, and in the end, Linton didn't pull the investment of the Church of Light to complete it. They don't know what the relationship between Linton and the church is, but since the church will give him money, it means that the relationship is not shallow, then the church will not be short of money, and since Linton dares to say so, he should naturally get the approval or support of some churches.

In short, after the proposal is passed, it is time to consider the war. At present, the agreed plan is to quickly take the gold mine, if there is the support of the gold mine, then the financial problem of the territory is really not a problem, but the problem is that it is absolutely impossible for the Kovica Kingdom to give up the gold mine, if there is no gold mine, their entire country may be finished, and it will be very difficult to take the gold mine, even if it is won, it will have to face a strong counterattack from the Kovica Kingdom.

After discussion, the civil officials were only given half a month to take the gold mine, if they didn't take it in half a month, then there would be problems with the finances of the territory, and Linton would need to fulfill his promise at that time. As for how to mine and defend after taking it, this is still not discussed, because no one expected this war in advance, who knows why Garseen suddenly wanted to fight when his brain was pumped, can't you wait for next autumn harvest to recover and prepare for war.

And this war, Linton himself could not participate. Before, he was able to deal with the troops left behind by Wren because the other party was a traitor and belonged to the internal elimination of rebels in the country, which was not in the way, but in this war, no matter how small the Kingdom of Covicla was, it was also a kingdom, and their entire country might not have a saint-level existence, but if Linton participated, the nature of the war would change, and the Saint-level Association would not sit idly by at that time.

Of course, Linton really didn't want to participate, it was none of the Saint-level Association's business. If this war is to be won, it is too simple, not to mention the affairs of the Saint-level Association that he doesn't care about at all, even if he doesn't want to provoke them, Linton directly throws a Godzilla in the Kingdom of Covicla, you see what else they can do. However, Linton's purpose is not to win, this is not to complete the task of battlefield construction, so this time Linton also said that he will not participate in the war, of course, others have no doubts, and indeed they did not count Linton in the first place.

The civilian side is worried that Linton's participation in the war will lead to the escalation of the war in various senses, and the military generals don't want him to participate in the war.

In short, after some discussions, the preliminary plan was basically decided. Led by Garsein, he personally led a force of 3,000 people to attack, and it can be said that the whole army was dispatched. As for the interior of the territory, although there are still some small groups of rebels, but this is not Linton, even if there is no soldier, who dares to make trouble?

The plan to send troops was decided, and then it was how to declare war. Another condition for starting a war is that the division is famous, and the world is also very particular about this, at least you have to have a valid reason. The relationship between the kingdom and the territory of Kovica is not very good, and there are quite a lot of pretexts for war between the two sides, and now the question is which one to choose.

This time, the biggest target is the opponent's gold mine, but they only have fifteen days to take the gold mine, the time is relatively tight, and all Gasein can think of is to wait for the other party to take it by surprise. Then when you declare it, you can't say that ours is here to seize the gold mine, otherwise it won't let the family take precautions in advance.

After discussion, a more suitable plan was proposed, claiming the Aytenwall area. The Aytonwall region is a region where the two sides meet, and the question of the ownership of this area has always been disputed. The two sides have fought a lot of battles over the ownership of this area, and now it is temporarily controlled by the Kingdom of Covicla.

The best part of this proposal is the eastern part of the border between the two sides in the Aytenwall area, and the gold mines they want are in the west, so if the war breaks out, it may attract the enemy to the east to defend and they take the opportunity to take the gold mines to the west. Of course, there are still problems, such as......

"What if the other side agrees......" one general asked.

That's a good question, if the other side really agrees to cede the Aytenwall area, then there is no reason for them to continue fighting, and this is really a troublesome thing.

"I think so." Linton got up at this time and said, "They shouldn't agree, after all, the situation on our side, the enemy also knows it, they should also know that we are short of money, and they may think that we will not really start a war, just to scare them." ”

"Hmm...... Reasonable. Garseen also nodded, they themselves did not expect to really start a war, and the enemy would not think of it, Linton said that the possibility would be relatively large.

"That's it, if they really agree, we're thinking of individual casus belli, and we're going to fight anyway." Linton said.

So the war letter was immediately handed over, and Gathern informed the king of the Kingdom of Covica in the name of the lord that the Aytonwall region had been a sacred and inseparable part of their territory since ancient times, and demanded that the other party return it immediately, and if the Kingdom of Covicla did not hand over the Aytonwall area within three days, then they would take back the area by themselves, and naturally start a war.

Three days was also the time for the territory to assemble troops, and the plan was set for three days later, their troops began to move, pretending to attack the Aytenwall area, suddenly changing lanes halfway, raiding the gold mines in the west, and catching the enemy by surprise.

However, it was Linton's side who were caught off guard, and two days later, they received a credential from the Kingdom of Covicla, agreeing to cede the Aytenwall area. Seeing this letter, Linton and Garsain were both stunned for a long time.

"What's going on?" Garsein looked confused.

"How do I know that the king on the other side has cerebral palsy?" Linton was also very confused, and he pretended to be forced to say that the other party could not agree, and said the reason for a long time, but the other side really agreed? But this is not right, why would the other side agree, it is impossible to think that they would really send troops at this time, after all, they themselves did not expect it.

What Linton didn't know was that there was another force involved in this matter. In fact, just as he thought, the king of the Kingdom of Covicla first thought when he saw the war book was fake, and of course they knew very well the situation of this newly appointed duke, where did he get the qualifications to send troops at this time, it was definitely just a threat. In fact, they also knew that the other party's territory seemed to be gathering troops these days, but the king thought that it was a smoke bomb, pretending to be a means of sending troops, so it was possible to send troops. So I'm going to refuse the other party, if you want to come, you can come, do you have the money to fight?

However, this matter was later known to another force, which was the Church of Light. Yes, the state religion of the Kingdom of Covica is also the Cult of Light, and the Church of Light has great power in the country, and the high-ranking priest in the country is equivalent to the status of the national teacher, and he also reported it to the church headquarters when he knew about it.

And the headquarters here has received a lot of information about Linton before, and now the high-level discussion means to win over Linton. Looking at this information, this is not a good opportunity to sell favors, obviously they don't believe that Linton can send troops, this financial can't bear it, Linton wants the Aytonwall area, then give it to him, this is not the land of their church, be generous to others, and give Linton a favor, a good thing.

So the headquarters gave the order to intervene. Although the supreme priest of the Kingdom of Covicla who received the order did not know what was going on, he also carried out the order, and because his voice was very powerful, his words must be carefully considered by the king. Because the situation in the country is very bad, the king does not dare to provoke the church at all, after all, there are too many displaced people in the country now, and it is all up to the help of the church to suppress it.

After much thought, the king agreed to the church and agreed to cede the territory, so he wrote a reply letter and apologized to Garseen and them.

Of course, Linton didn't know that it was done by someone from the church, otherwise he really wanted to beat someone. Now that they're really in trouble, they didn't expect the other party to agree.

"What now?" Garseen said, "If you want to go to war again, the reason is not good, the other side has backed down, or forget it." ”

Garsein didn't agree to go to war so much, he didn't have any money, but now he got a piece of land without a war, thinking about it.

"In this case, you write another letter, saying that your illegitimate son disappeared while playing on the border between the two countries, and there is evidence that it was taken by the people of the Kingdom of Covicla, give them three days for them to send the people back safely, otherwise they will take someone to find it yourself." Linton said.

"Where did I get my bastard!" Garseen said.

"I know you don't, don't you just make it impossible for the other party to give it." Linton said.

"Hey, I'm not married, so I'll have an illegitimate child, aren't you ruining my reputation?" Garseen said.

"Fame doesn't matter......

"Then you go up, did I say that your bastard is okay?" Garseen said.

"That'...... It's okay, you can just say it's mine. Linton said.

"Really?" Garseen asked.

"Oh wait, I like my daughter, tell me it's illegitimate daughter." Linton said.

"Does it make a difference?" Garseen yelled, "Forget it, I'll write it now." ”

"This can't be a daughter again."

A day later, Garseen found Linton again with a letter of state: "Congratulations, you have a daughter." ”

"What?" Linton looked at Garseen with a bewildered expression.
