Chapter 153: Allies

After analyzing the situation in the north, it was Nuland's turn to do the state affairs next, but Nuland's state affairs were now considered the household affairs of the Jingler family.

While the nobles were there, Noro asked Prince Fodorus to be invited to the council chamber, and the alliance was a state affair after all.

Although he did not expect the small, sparsely populated peninsular to send a decent army to participate in future wars, it would be beneficial to Nuland in whatever way Ferdorus supported the war.

For a long time, the reason why Noro has not considered forming an alliance with the surrounding countries is precisely because most of the southern royal families lack foresight and are selfish, even if they form an alliance with them for a while, they are likely to defect halfway due to interests in the war, and Noro does not want to take this risk.

However, although Fodorus is small, he is not lacking in foresight, and from the gentle and simple appearance of Prince Fdolus, Noro can probably understand the character of King Fodorus, at least more trustworthy than other royal families.

When Prince Verdorus appeared in the council chamber, the nobles really showed varying degrees of surprise in their expressions, obviously not expecting this prince to be so simple.

It's not that he looks bad, but because of the simplicity of his body and the clothes that don't show wealth, it is difficult to associate him with the identity of the prince.

After a brief introduction, Norro didn't say much, and directly asked Lutis to repeat the meaning of King Fodorus, so that the nobles present could understand his intention.

Later, Wittis went on to explain: "The reason why Ferdorus, a sparsely populated country, was fortunate enough to win the war and declare independence more than thirty years ago was largely due to the geographical advantages of the Wangxiang Mountain, and it has been able to settle down to this day. Therefore, although there is a willingness to form an alliance, due to the fact that Fodorus has not been founded for a long time and his foundation is weak, I am afraid that it will be difficult to train a regular army sufficient to fight in the Civil War for the time being......" At this, Stylus paused, and could not help but glance at the nobles present with some concern, and found that they did not show any dissatisfaction with the mention of Ferdorus's inability to provide military support, and most of them only exchanged opinions in a whispered manner, as if they also thought that what he said was an undeniable fact.

Only then did he relent, and continued: "Although Ferdorus is not capable of providing a good army, he also lacks the financial resources. However, Ferdorus had abundant food reserves, as well as a wealth of cultivation technology and agricultural experience, and was fully capable of meeting the food needs during and after the war. ”

"Food is a vital matter......

"Yes, when war breaks out, it will inevitably lead to famine, especially after the war, and it will lead to riots. At that time, food will be the top priority, and if we can solve this worry in advance, we will have a better chance of winning in the future. The nobles began to talk about the fact that the powerful and wealthy Gingler family may never lack wealth and sophisticated weapons, but in times of war, there was never too much food, and it was no wonder that they were so excited to hear the words of Cintius.

But Kailas was not as excited as the other nobles, and he calmly raised his own doubts to Thys: "Today, the territory of Nuland is almost two hundred times the size of Ferdorus, even if Ferdorus has accumulated some surplus food over the years, but the army of the Kingler family is very large, in case the Civil War is stalemate, if the tug-of-war is too long, I am afraid that the food will be seriously urgent." When the time comes, I wonder if Ferdorus, who is small and narrow, will still be able to continue to support?" and replied unhurriedly, "Father and I have already considered this. The first is the issue of the storage and transportation of grain in Fdorus, which is now part of Nuland, so that before the outbreak of war, we can ship grain to the east coast of Sambiland, and then the soldiers will pick it up and send it to the war zone on the northern border. This is the shortest and almost unimpeded way to transport food at present, and it can be fully prepared for the early war......" At this point, Otis paused to look at Kailas, saw that he had no objections, and nodded to continue.

"Secondly, as Master Komoz has just said, Fodorus is so narrow that without the surplus food accumulated in previous years, it will not be able to sustain the food needed for the war for millions of troops. However, there is no shortage of arable land in Sambiland and Nuland, especially in Sambiland, where the southern wasteland is actually quite good and suitable for cultivation. If we can make good use of the abandoned land, we will be able to provide a steady stream of backup needs for the army in the future. In fact, there are many short-term crops in Ferdorus, and if production can be expanded, it will be very suitable for emergency needs during the war. ”

"Crops that can be harvested in a short period of time, are they vegetables? However, food that is not easy to store is not suitable for military ration ......reserves," one nobleman questioned, and they really couldn't think of anything else in view of the current state of agriculture in the Eastern Continent.

Shook his head and explained, "Of course, there are more potato and legume crops that are easy to grow and easy to store. However, only Fodorus has cultivated those wild plants into regular crops, and other countries have not yet recognized their value. Although I have brought some seeds of crops that have not been cultivated in any other region except for Ferdorus, the quantity is limited, and if Nuland and Ferdorus succeed in forming an alliance, my father is willing to send a group of excellent growers to pass on to Nuland the rich crop seeds and cultivation techniques of Ferdorus. Hearing this, Mu Qi suddenly became interested, he looked at Noro and said, "Isn't it just right? Sambiland is full of abandoned farmland, so he drove all the civilians who had learned from Kela and became lazy to grow grain, so as to save them from being too idle and causing trouble everywhere." It is clear that the whole country is starving but not producing, and in the long run, sooner or later a huge country will be brought down. In the future, once the northern army invades the south, we will have to fight with all our might, how can we still divide the surplus food and energy to deal with the famine in Sambiland? Let them all follow the Ferdorus people to learn to grow food to feed themselves, maybe those lazy guys will really be able to contribute to the Eastern Continent in the future. Muchi's idea coincided with Noro's, and the alliance between Fodorus and Nuland was formalized with the support of all the nobles.

Actually, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, because he had been to Lisi before, and he didn't understand the reason why King Lixi despised Phodorus, after all, Phodorus did lack metal wealth, and they were all commoners...... However, in Nuland, none of the things he had feared had happened, and now he could truly rest assured.

After the meeting, Titus was about to go to say hello to Gary in the courtyard, when he heard someone shouting behind him: "Prince Ferdorus......" Stillus paused, only to realize that it was calling himself.

Although it is true that he is a prince in terms of identity, even in Ferdorus, no one usually calls him by this title, so he is a little unaccustomed.

Looking back, it turned out to be Kailas Komoz, and Thytis said with some restraint: "Lord Komoz, it's okay to call me Quethis." Kailas was not polite, and nodded directly: "Okay, then let's call each other by name." Hearing this, Tis was relieved and smiled, "Well, do you still have any questions......?"

"No," said Kailas,

"I'd like to know something else, and if you will, tell me about what you've seen along the way from Verdorus to Nuland, the more detailed the better. ”

"Of course you can......" At this moment, Sultius suddenly felt a sinking of his shoulders, and instinctively looked sideways, only to see the arm of the Lord Muchi Avar, whom Gary worshipped, resting on his shoulder.

Although he only led the way for them yesterday, Murchi Avar was once a heroic figure that could only be heard from stories, and now he was suddenly standing in front of him, and he was so intimately hooked shoulder-to-shoulder, which made Mudis really a little flattered and couldn't help but get nervous,

"A-Lord Avar......"

"Ha, you've agreed to call that guy by name, but why are you still talking to me like that? Just call me Muki. Murch laughed,

"What interesting things are you talking about? I want to hear it too. ”

"Yes, it's about my travels. Rutis replied honestly. Kailas frowned slightly and looked at Mu Qi, and couldn't help but remind, "Mu Qi, can't you take care of the clothes on your body?"

"Huh?" Murch looked down and saw that the placket was open again, and smiled disapprovingly,

"What's the matter, feel more comfortable like this, I'll be out of breath if it's wrapped too tightly. Despite this, Murch symbolically tussed his hand around the placket.

The reason why he gave in was because he knew Kairaz's well-known personality too well, and knew that Kairaz could not tolerate anything that was not organized or loose in his eyes.

To put it simply, Kailas is an overly neat and perfect person. If something makes him feel messy and unclean, he will feel like a thorn in his heart, and he will even take the trouble to correct it.

Therefore, Muki, who is usually indulgent and uninhibited, can only bow down to Kailas every time he encounters it. Of course, no one in Nuland has dared to belittle or oppose Kairaz for his fault.

Because Kailas is a very reliable person, no matter who gives him what to deal with, he can give a satisfactory result, so he has won everyone's respect, and those inconsequential little problems are naturally tolerated by everyone.

Even a person like Muki who goes his own way will unconsciously restrain himself when facing Kailas.

After seeing Mu Qi fold his clothes, Kailas nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the stone carved tables and chairs in the courtyard, and said to Quetis, "Let's go and sit over there and talk slowly." So the three of them walked together to the stone table and sat down.

But just as he was about to tell them about his journey, Kairas's eyes suddenly widened, and he lowered his head and froze.

Since the height of the stone table was just enough to block half of Kailas's body, Otis, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but be a little worried, although he didn't know why.

Immediately, Kelas stood up and said with a nervous expression, "I have to go home, let's find time to talk another day." Beside him, Murch looked sideways and burst out laughing, and Kairas hurried away without explaining anything.

Quetis looked at Kailas's back in the distance and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with him?"

"Hehe, because he's wearing a darker robe today...... Murch replied.

"Is this anything to do with his sudden departure?" asked Tis puzzled.

"Hey, he's a cleanliness fetish and can't tolerate visible dust sticking to his clothes. Murch laughed,

Today, his robe was a little darker, and when he sat down, his leg accidentally touched the back of the stone table, and a little dust stuck to it, and now he is rushing back to change his clothes. Probably which slave was too careless to know that Kailas was coming to the council chamber today, but he didn't wipe it spotless inside and out, haha......"

"The robe is just a little dusty, is he going to change it right away?" said Otis, surprised, if he did, he would usually pat it with his hand.

"Could it be that in the past, every place where Kailath might have passed, the slaves would be wiped spotless in advance?"

"It's natural, do you think he's going to pat the dust off with his own hands?"

"If he did, he wouldn't be Kailas Komoz, haha......"

"Isn't there more than just a name that Kailas Komoz represents?"
