Just as Arthas tried to stop Alfonso's actions, King Terenus took the first step to hold him down on the shoulder.

Arthas looked back in surprise, only to find his father shaking his head at himself.

Father doesn't want to let himself get involved in this? - Arthas thought in confusion - but why did his father have so much confidence in the actions of Master Alfonso? Do they think that the Red Dragon Queen will not be provoked? Even if they don't, what kind of compensation will they get?

"Reparations? What compensation? The Red Dragon Queen tore off the small bunch of grapes, greedily stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it in great gulps, and the crystal juice with a reddish color overflowed from her mouth, dripping onto her clothes, and soaking into small lumps of water.

The Red Dragon Queen threw the bare vine in her hand to the ground very rudely, and then wiped her hands casually on her clothes, looking at Alfonso with a curious expression.

"Yes, Your Excellency. Based on the situation described by His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas and you, we know that your people, because your safety was threatened, were forced to obey the orders of the orcs and launched an attack on the humans, am I right? Alfonso's hands were folded in his long sleeves in front of him, and there was a slight smile on his face.

"Yes...... Yes, but those children are not intentional, they are only because they are ...... It's just that Tahran is being used, and it's ...... And I've already helped you fight the orcs to compensate! A nervous look appeared on the Red Dragon Queen's face, and she seemed to understand what Alfonso was trying to say.

"That's true. Your Excellency the Queen, but ......" Alfonso's voice dragged on a long pitch, and everyone knew it. "But" after that is what the Chancellor of the Exchequer really wants to say.

"I know that Her Excellency played a key role in the defense of Riptide Castle, but I think this is just your personal behavior, Your Excellency, and I don't think that this alone will make up for the mistakes of your people, will it?" Alfonso continued.

"For ...... Why not? I've killed so many orcs! And...... And without my words. You've already lost that war! The Red Dragon Queen's face turned red, and she argued.

Of course, count on the Red Dragon Queen herself to figure out how much of a role she has played in the war between humans and orcs. This is simply unrealistic.

What really made Her Excellency understand her important role was the compliments of many nobles, including King Terenus and King Soras, during her time at Riptide Castle. I've heard it hundreds of times. Even if she is as stupid as the Red Dragon Queen, she knows her role.

"It is true, but I must warn ......you, Your Excellency, the Queen," Alfonso clearly had the absolute preponderance in such a debate, his tone elegant, interspersed with many beautiful sentences, and clearly prepared in advance.

"Without the participation of the Red Dragon, the Orc Legion is no match for the human alliance, and our navy has absolute superiority; If it weren't for the total annihilation of the naval fleet in the Balatine Bay. The war will not spread to the north at all - Your Excellency, do you know what I mean? Alfonso's smile was hidden. Pressing on the Red Dragon Queen step by step.

"I ...... I don't quite understand...... "The Red Dragon Queen was not very good at this kind of thing, and she looked at Arthas as if she were pleading, but the latter pretended not to see her gaze.

"I ...... I have a covenant with Arthas, and I will help you defeat the orcs, and you will not hold my children accountable...... We said it beforehand! The Red Dragon Queen stammered and retorted.

"That's true...... Alfonso replied with a smile, "but Your Excellency the Queen wishes you that I have no intention of overturning the covenant between His Royal Highness the Prince of Arthas and you, but I am not saying that I want to hold your people at fault. ”

"But, you say...... Compensate ......" The Red Dragon Queen couldn't keep up with Alfonso's train of thought at all, and she felt her head dizzy.

"Logically speaking, the Red Dragon's undeclared war against humanity has caused us great losses and troubles; However, because we are now allies, we have decided not to hold your people accountable, but that doesn't mean we're going to give up on our claim for compensation. Alfonso's words were very awkward.

"Your Excellency, as far as I know, your people should have taken on the duty of guarding this world; The orcs have invaded our home from another world, and you, the guardians of the world, have not driven them out first, but have sided with them; Your actions may make up for the mistakes of your people before this, but only slightly, am I right? Alfonso saw that the Red Dragon Queen did not speak, so he said to himself.

"I ...... I do not quite understand...... You...... What exactly do you want me to compensate you? The Red Dragon Queen asked in a daze.

"It's your people who compensate us, Your Excellency, it's not your personal business." Alfonso kindly reminded him, then walked over to his desk and let go of a stack of books that seemed to have been prepared.

"Let's calculate how much damage the Red Dragon's actions have caused to humanity, Your Excellency." Alfonso deftly let go of the ledger and said loudly.

"First of all, the first time the Red Dragons attacked humanity was in the Gulf of Palatine, and King Dalin's fleet was almost completely annihilated. The above coalition fleets have a total of ...... There are detailed numbers, a total of one hundred and seventy-six warships, fifty-four small boats were reduced to ashes in that naval battle, and sixty-eight seamen were killed and countless others were wounded. Alfonso finished reading it, and picked it up vertically, and nodded at the Red Dragon Queen, indicating that there was a detailed record in her account book.

"This ...... What does that mean? The Red Dragon Queen only glanced at the ledger and continued to stammer—though she had enough eyesight to read the words and numbers in the ledger, she didn't have the intellect to make sense of them.

"To put it simply, let's start settling the first account between the red dragon and the human." Alfonso put the account book back on his desk and said to the Red Dragon Queen with a smile, "The cost of two hundred and thirty ships of all sizes is high, and after deducting the value of the loss, plus the bereavement of the sixty-eight sacrificed warriors and the rest of the expenses, together with my students, subordinates, and some servants, I have calculated it for a day and a night, and we have valued it at ......"
