Just because you can negotiate with Dante doesn't mean you can negotiate with Gade. As a possessed demon, Gad can be described as incomprehensible. Grandet negotiated with the pumpkin-headed puppeteer for a long time, but he couldn't get the amount of food he was satisfied with, so he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but he was helpless.

Gade seems to have a heart-to-heart connection with Dante, and he is stuck on the amount of grain sold, so even if Grandet gets some grain, he doesn't make a lot of money.

After two negotiations, Grandet still did not get the amount of food he hoped for, so he had to go back to Cogs first.

In the small living room on the second floor of the castle......

"Master......" Gade took the record of the two negotiations, handed it to Dante, and said, "This is the negotiation of the amount of grain sold twice, please take a look." ”

"Well......" Dante took the report, skimmed through it roughly, and asked Gade, "Grandet wants so much wheat?" Is he crazy? We still have people to feed. ”

Gade helped the pumpkin head and said, "This harvest, plus the grain stored in the castle before, can last for two years if all of it is used for eating." This, of course, refers to extreme cases where there is nothing to add in between. Our population now has more than 120,000, of which 100,000 can be used as labourers and the other 20,000 are standing troops. ”

"Hmm." Dante heard what Gade had said and said, "The troops have not experienced a major battle since they returned from the battle against Karazan. If the war is tense, how many troops can we send in total? ”

Gade thought for a moment and replied, "In extreme circumstances. There is no problem in raising 80,000 troops. In ordinary cases, there is no problem with 50,000 troops. Actually, we originally had more troops than that, but the previous battle with the undead army. The casualties were large, many soldiers were crippled, could no longer go to the battlefield, and could not be qualified for high-intensity labor as laborers, so they could only do miscellaneous work. ”

"That's a real problem." Dante said, "These soldiers must be filled as soon as possible." ”

"Master." Gade said. "How much food do you think we should give to Grande? Just report the number. I've got a good reference. ”

"......" Dante thought for a moment and gave Gade a number.

When Gade heard this, he said, "That's a lot more than I expected." Master. Is that okay? ”

"These are times of war, and food is the most important material and has a high value," Dante said. Using food as bait should be very effective against the Kingdom of Light. this number. I calculated. With the current ration system, combined with the golden wheat seeds we have left, it won't make a difference. ”

"But, master," said Gade......, who seemed a little reluctant, said to Dante, "you insist that Grandet bring Fording back to power." I don't understand that. I think food is a little bit more important to us now than Ferdin. ”

Dante said, "Gade. You're right to think so. But. I think this is a great opportunity to strike at the royal court of the Holy Light Kingdom. That guy Fordin, I knew at a glance, was a nerd. He is not bad on the battlefield, but as soon as he returns to the royal court, he must be a pure cheated goods. Didn't you say before that he was originally demoted to a civilian? Now, he has suffered the loss of this kind of open and secret fighting. I think he should be on the battlefield, killed by me, so it makes sense. ”

"Huh." Gade smiled and said, "Master, I see what you mean. However, you have too much food, right? ”

Dante thought for a moment and asked Gad, "Then you can make a final number." ”

Gade wrote a new number and handed it to Dante, who was satisfied with it and said, "Just follow your number." Grandet will do it for him if he wants to, and if he is hard-mouthed, he will go with him. ”

"Yes, master." Gade continued, "Master, after Ferdin's resignation, his son, Ferdin, Jr., assumed the position of Chief Grand Paladin. ”

"Huh?" Dante was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Huh?" Why didn't you say this earlier? His son is also a paladin, huh? I really didn't expect that. ”

Gad said: "The king of the Kingdom of Light, Ureon, may not have wanted to remove Fordin, but it may be that when Fordin attacked Karazan, not only did he kill all the soldiers, but he also didn't get anything, so he was caught by some political enemies in the royal court. It is likely that Urian was forced to tear off Ferdin's for the sake of face. Ironically, those political opponents are probably also helpless mouthpieces, and in the end, the position of the chief general of the paladin has to be filled by someone who can fight, and Fording may find a way to push his son up. ”

"Huh." After listening to Gade's analysis, Dante smiled and said, "What a show!" ”

"Isn't it?" Gade said, "The forces of the Holy Light Kingdom are now regrouping, and it seems that they are about to launch a general attack on the undead army on the mainland. ”

"A general assault on the undead army on the mainland?" Dante heard it and said, "Are you sure about this?" Where are the undead armies attacking? Could it be in the realm of the griffon kingdom? ”

"Yes." Ged said, "Wryon seems to have made up his mind this time to take over the griffon's territory. Master, what should we do? ”

Dante hurriedly asked, "How many troops has been assembled by the Holy Light Kingdom, and are there any other allies?" ”

Gade thought for a moment and said, "The total strength gathered is about 80,000, of which there are about 30,000 paladins and warriors, about 30,000 musketeers, archers and crossbowmen combined, about 10,000 magic attack units and healing units, and about 10,000 siege and logistics troops. This time, the Holy Light Kingdom will dispatch combat aircraft in the air, and there are about two thousand of them. ”

"Such a strong lineup...... Dante heard Gade's report and said, "This should be the strongest main force in the Holy Light Kingdom, right?" They actually dispatched such a powerful force to wipe out the territory of the Griffon Kingdom, the undead? ”

At this point, he paused, looking at Gad, as if trying to get it to answer.

"Master, I know what you mean." Gade helped the pumpkin head and said, "The situation facing our army in the next few weeks is likely to be more dire, so I said, do you still need to cooperate with Grande?" We've got tough battles to fight. ”

"I still have to work with Grande." Dante said firmly, "Putting Fording back in power will help disrupt the royal court of the Kingdom of Light." This is important. ”

Gade said, "Master, have you ever thought about it?" If Fording comes to power and purge those who are incompetent, won't the Kingdom of Light be more united? Isn't that their gain? ”

"Huh." Dante smiled disapprovingly, waved his hand, and said, "Gade, after all, you are a possessed demon, unlike humans who like to compete for power. Do you think that after Ferdin's rise to power, he can really make the Kingdom of Light peaceful? You're wrong. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Gade was confused.

Dante said, "You don't know Ferding as well as I do. That guy Fodin, you can tell from his performance on the battlefield that he is a very dull person. Although he seems to be brave and sympathetic to his subordinates, he is a bit too straightforward. It's a time of war, and he's still useful, but once he returns to peacetime, he's done. ”

Gade still shook his head, indicating that he could not understand Dante's words.

Dante went on to explain: "O master. If Fording can continue to serve as the chief general of the paladin, if he continues to fight like this, with his ability, he will definitely have outstanding feats. If the credit was too great, Wryon wouldn't tolerate him going on like this. Do you understand? ”

"Oh......" Gade finally understood what Dante meant, and helped the pumpkin head, "You really make sense to analyze it." ”

Dante said, "The Demon King Army relies on the power of my Demon King to operate, and it is not the same concept as the Royal Court of the Holy Light Kingdom, so we can do as much as we like in this kind of thing." I just hope that Fordin can be the chief general, and then get rid of the crooked guys around Urynn. In this way, Ferding will become more and more unresistant, and in the end, he will definitely be ostracized by Wrynn. At that time, the Kingdom of Light will be plunged into real chaos. ”

"Master, will the situation really develop according to your analysis?" Gade seems to have doubts.

Dante said: "I think the odds are very high. The key is how King Wrynn is. However, judging from the current situation, he will definitely squeeze out Ferdin, otherwise he would not have been dismissed twice. Now is a good opportunity to crusade against the undead. If Ferding makes great contributions, it is easier to sow discord. (To be continued.) )
