"If that's the case, there's nothing we can do to stop it. Noro sighed.

"Since there is nothing you can do, it is useless to think too much. Now why don't we think about how to deal with the southern invasion of the northern army?" Mu Qi looked at the two worried faces, and couldn't help but interrupt their thoughts. After all, there are many developments that can least be predicted at the moment, much more urgent than those that cannot be predicted at the moment.

"Well, that's right. "The future will then converge and return to the present," in terms of geography, the Devil's Forest sits right at the eastern end of the north-south dividing line. Therefore, whether Herilandi chooses to conquer the Devil's Forest first and then continue the southward invasion, or vice versa, it will also involve both of us. ”

"That's right, it's a matter of time or time. Noro nodded.

"However," Mo Di, who had been sitting quietly listening to the side, also spoke at this time, "If Herilandi intends to use the border intersection of Western Asia and Dorodo as a breakthrough, with Jianing's current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to provide assistance, after all, it is too far ......away."

"Actually, before we came here, we had already thought of a strategic plan for each situation. If we can form an alliance with the Forest Country, we will naturally have more hope of victory, and if we can't, we will go as planned. Therefore, for now, as long as the Jianing people keep the Devil's Forest, it will already be a great help to us. "Noro has already considered the situation proposed by Silent Di, after all, the Devil's Forest and Western Asia, one on the east coast and the other on the west coast, even if they have the heart to help, they are beyond the reach of the whip.

During the conversation, Mo Di couldn't help but have a good impression of this nobleman, although Noro's prestige had already been heard like thunder, but he never thought that he was such a practical person. Unlike most nobles, who always try to squeeze the most out of their allies, and even form alliances only for temporary needs. From his observations, he found that this powerful and rich nobleman was not greedy, but paid more attention to long-term development, no wonder the Jingle family was still invincible for thousands of years.

For Jianing City, which is currently lonely and weak, being able to ally with such a powerful but not snobbish person is like reaping an unexpected and rich fortune. This wealth must be of extraordinary significance to the future development of the Eastern Continent, and it also invisibly promotes their dreams. Mo Di couldn't help but secretly rejoice, unconsciously looking at the future Sukaranna, seeing that his expression was somewhat relaxed, he finally put his mind at ease, and then said: "As far as I know, the Sisia is used to the wind and rudder, and it is not reliable. Will it be for the sake of profit, and then open the border for the northern army to pass through?"

At this point, Kailas spoke, "It's a possibility. But until there is no clear difference between Herilandi and Nuland, the King of Sixia will only sit on the sidelines, because he is more than willing to take advantage. However, if the slightest mistake, even if it is just a misinformation, makes him think that our chances of victory are not good, then it is likely that in order to curry favor with Herriland, the border will be opened, and we will have irreparable results. ”

Noro added to Kairas's words, "If Herrilandi were to face us in the open, there would be nothing to worry about. But if he secretly sent someone to bribe the Sithian nobles and make greedy remarks to the king of Sisia, so as to sway his judgment, it would be impossible to prevent it. In addition, Western Asia should not dare to act rashly. ”

"In other words, could Western Asia be a destabilizing factor that directly affects the outcome of the war?" asked Future.

"Yes, but for now, we have no choice but to take the risk. Norro replied.

Last year, the Kingler family army was able to successfully annex Dorodo, mainly thanks to the unexpected help of Rhodes. As for Sambiland, it can be said that it is pure luck to take advantage of the safe and convenient passage of Dorodo, and then pick up one more cheap. However, that kind of accidental luck is not always available. Although a small country like Western Asia could not even match one-tenth of the strength of the Kingler family, it had a huge geographical advantage. Sisia is sandwiched between the two superpowers, Herilandi and Nuland, so whichever side it leans, even a little off, can cause a violent shock in the pattern of the Eastern Continent. Moreover, the king of Sicia is also very good at taking advantage of this, keeping himself in a very delicate sub-equilibrium that is both dangerous and safe for Sisia.

"If Herilandi were to use the West Coast of Western Asia or the Dorodo Frontier as a breakthrough for the south, the Canins would not be able to join the war......," Future thought for a moment and asked, "But is there anything else we can do to help?"

If it was in the past, it would definitely not take the initiative in the future, after all, the forest country finally had a prototype, and it didn't even have time to stabilize the foundation. No matter what high-sounding reasons for starting a war, war is only a kind of harm after all, which seriously violates his original intention of building a country peacefully. However, the change in the situation did not allow him to rest in a corner of his own righteousness, and it was only a matter of time before he was burned by the flames of war. So, instead of sitting back and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to grasp the vitality. Moreover, a strong ally has already taken the initiative to come to the front, and since the other party is full of sincerity, he should also put his heart into it, and not just sit back and enjoy it.

Hearing this, Noro looked at Yan Shu on the opposite side unexpectedly, and took the opportunity to mention: "Originally, there was none, but now there is a ......"

Yan Xuan, who was barbecuing meat, instinctively raised his head, only to see that the amazingly beautiful nobleman was looking at him thoughtfully, and couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "If there is something I can do, I will naturally not refuse, as long as it is not harmful to the people of Jianing." ”

"I can assure you that nothing I do will harm the interests of the Jianing people, now or in the future, when there is no hostility between our two sides. Noro looked directly at Yan Yu and gave a guarantee without hesitation. This nobleman is both arrogant and confident, and has never disdained to use lies for profit, even if the other party is a strong enemy. Therefore, he is never stingy with making any promises.

Yan Yu couldn't help but be shocked in the bottom of his heart. In fact, he didn't doubt Noro's intentions, but he couldn't help but give priority to the interests of Jianing people. I never thought that this powerful head of the Jingler family would make a promise in person in a serious manner, but it made him feel a little embarrassed for his "villain's heart", and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

"Hahaha......" A hearty laugh broke the awkward silence in time, and Mu Qi smiled, "You guys are so bad, what can't you say tomorrow? Eat it all quickly, if you don't eat it, the meat will be burned. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed a large piece of barbecue meat into Noro's mouth, but Noro was caught off guard, couldn't swallow it, couldn't spit it out, and had to bite it like this. The face that was as cold as ice and amazed countless people suddenly became funny, and the strong contrast caused everyone to laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively again.

It's not the first time Muki has played such a surprise trick on Noro in public, but Noro is not as surprised as he was when he first met. Perhaps unconsciously, he had become accustomed to this guy's way of doing things his own way, right? He didn't move, and he didn't care about the laughter around him, and silently took down the fist-sized piece of roast meat that was shoehorned into his mouth, squinted at Mu Qi as usual, snorted almost inaudibly, and then began to eat gracefully. Fang Cai's little prank did not detract from his natural nobility in the slightest.

In a sense, Noro should be a person who is confident to the extreme. He never thought that his position and dignity would be shaken by these harmless pranks, and that unpleasantness would be unpleasant, but there was no need to ask for guilt. All those who willingly follow Noro are not only interested in his power and status, but also in his own charisma as a leader, which is not a talent that can be given by external factors such as wealth or status.

Of course, Norro also knows his subordinates well. The small displeasure did not prevent him from grasping Mu Qi's intentions in time. Mu Qi seems to be indulgent and uninhibited, but he never maliciously plays tricks on others for no reason, and he just wants to defuse the embarrassing atmosphere for him. In fact, Noro is well aware of his character shortcomings, and others may seem arrogant, cold, and unapproachable, which invisibly distances him from the people around him, although it is only an unconscious expression for him. Fortunately, over the years, there has been an additional Mu Qi by his side, who seems to be free and easy, but is actually meticulous, which has resolved many embarrassments and misunderstandings caused by him inadvertently. At first, it was indeed a little difficult for Noro to adapt, but after getting along for a long time, they gradually understood Muki's intentions. Muchi's greatest strength is precisely his greatest weakness. Because Murch can always naturally disarm others from their vigilance and strangeness, close the distance between them, and easily gain the trust of others, if he wants to.

After the laughter, everyone really relaxed. Yan Shu is also a rough person on the outside and gentle and meticulous on the inside, so naturally he will not really save such an important thing for tomorrow because of Mu Qi's joke. Then he quickly picked up the topic and asked Noro, "Is there anything I need to do?"

"Well, you really have to do it. I don't think anyone is going to do it better than you at the moment. Noro nodded his head and explained slowly, "From the moment I stepped into this courtyard, I noticed that unique sword, and although it seemed unpretentious, I couldn't ignore its presence......"

As the topic spoke, Noro's gaze unsurprisingly fell on a straight sword resting on the hand of Future Sukaranna. In fact, earlier today, when he was waiting for the messenger in the courtyard with Murdi, Future had already drawn his sword from its sheath. In his spare time, he often habitually held it in his hand and played with it, dancing his sword as usual, while talking to Modi. It wasn't until the Nuland messenger stepped into the courtyard that he rested his hand beside him, and then he was so busy talking that he forgot to put his sword back into its sheath. Noro's portable sword was an extraordinary product at first glance, so he didn't expect that Noro would be interested in his simple sword in the future.

"If I'm not mistaken, the sword must have come from Prince Yanshu," he continued, "although the weapons in the hands of the others are also peerless, all of them show the unparalleled skill and passion of the forgers. However, they are not endowed with the kind of 'fighting spirit' that they should have as weapons. It follows that the forgers do not want them to be taken into battle or used in combat......"

Between the words, Noro's gaze swept over the several Jianing people present one by one, and then fell on the future sword, and continued: "However, only the sword in his hand is different. The sword was infused with a certain strong fighting spirit, as if it had the power to cut through everything visible or invisible. It can be seen that its forgers must be pouring that hope all the time in the process of tempering. When the sword was finally built, that strong desire formed its unique 'battle spirit'. ”

Hearing this, Yan Shu and the future were shocked, and what Noro said was not bad at all. When Yan Yu tried his best to build this sword of kings, he was indeed expecting it to help them cut through all the darkness ahead and open up a new world of peace and light. And the moment Mirai Sukarana first held the sword, it also had an incredible resonance with it, and the sword seemed to be able to sense all the emotions, expectations and struggles in his heart, as if it were a part of his body.

But these unique feelings are difficult for anyone other than the forger and wielder of this sword to understand and experience. The two of them also kept these unknown emotional experiences in their own hearts, never revealing them to each other or anyone else, even the friends around them. How can you not be shocked when you don't want to be suddenly noticed by someone who has just known you for less than a day?

Seeing Yan Shu and Future both having an incredulous look on their faces, Mu Qi couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, I'm often frightened by his weird intuition. But Noro's instincts have always been very accurate, and they must not be ignored, otherwise they will suffer. ”

"Well, that's right, it does!" Rod nodded in agreement. Thinking back to the beginning, when they crossed the Forest of Death, if it wasn't for Noro's intuition to avoid the conflict between them and the Streamers, it would be difficult to say whether they would have been able to get out of the forest alive.

Yan Yu never imagined that there was anyone in the world other than the late Kirist Naruto who could understand the bond between the forger and the weapon so deeply, and couldn't help but admire, "This is really an amazing talent!"

Noro didn't pay much attention to their fuss, it was just an instinctive reaction to him. So he got down to business and continued: "Actually, I want you to help me build a batch of hand-held weapons. Originally, the army of the Kinglers, the army of Nuland, and the army of Dorodo were not short of weapons. But since Sambiland's merger into Nuland, I've discovered that almost all of the former Sambiland soldiers are old blunt weapons. During his reign of more than ten years, he did not maintain or increase any armaments. Therefore, in order to improve the overall strength of the whole army, I had to use most of the military resources and foundries that the Kingler family and Nuland had originally stockpiled to renovate the Sambiland army. However, after the reorganization of the three armed forces and the equalization of military resources, the supply strength of the whole army was relatively weakened. ”

"So, you want me to build some weapons for you?" Yan Shu asked in a confirmed manner.

"Well," Noro nodded, "Actually, the Jingler family originally had a group of excellent foundries. However, due to the long and long distance of the battle line, I do not want any accidents to occur in the future during the transportation, especially the delivery of supplies during the war. Therefore, if we can build a batch of weapons here, or store some grain and grass in advance to supplement the urgently needed military resources on the Eastern Front, it will save us a lot of time and energy. ”

Hearing this, Yan Shu couldn't help but look at the future and the truth, and after the three of them looked at each other tacitly, the future replied directly: "Of course, you can store grain and grass, and it's no problem to build weapons." It's just that Jianing has never opened a mine, and raw materials are in short supply. If we can provide sufficient raw materials, we will fully cooperate. ”

"Nuland's raw material reserves are quite sufficient, and we will be able to provide them immediately, and we will also pay a batch of gold as a reward for crafting weapons. Noro said. The southern region of Nuland is rich in minerals, and for thousands of years, the Gingler family has consciously amassed wealth of all kinds, and has taken a good look at the resources at hand. So, even if they don't plunder like other countries, they have plenty of resources available.

Hearing this, everyone present in Jianing was pleasantly surprised, which was another unexpected big gain. They had thought that the alliance was a mutually beneficial act for both sides, and that it was right for them to help each other, and they did not think of asking for any reward. Moreover, if the war really broke out, the population of Jianing City would not be enough to protect itself, let alone protect this forest, and when facing the northern army, it would mainly have to rely on the troops in the hands of Noro. If Noro wins, Jianing wins, and if Noro loses Jianing, he will not be able to return to the sky, so even if he does not pay the remuneration, Jianing people will not have any losses. But since Noro generously paid for the gold, the Jianing people naturally accepted it generously.

So, the two sides officially became allies while eating barbecue at this small bonfire dinner.
