"However, the early return of His Majesty does not mean that the war is over. "Instead, there is a stalemate, where the already chaotic nations have united and begun to expel us." ”

"How so!" cried Arron, "we are here to help them, if it weren't for the purity of their faith, to banish the evil, why would we go to fight against the Eugullars, these abominable Eugudrals." ”

After the condemnation of everyone, and Regina's later words, Solomon had a general idea of why Asturias was at an impasse in Yugudral.

The reason for this is that there are many important mineral deposits in the areas occupied by the nations, and there are several Mithril mines alone.

The presence of a mythril mine in the City of Liberty was enough to cause a war.

In the original Plane Conquest mode, the Terran kingdoms of Kaos were responsible for clearing out the invading Infernal Demons in the Alternate Plane, or for exterminating the cults that worshiped the Helldemon God among them, and ensuring the dominance of the Celestial Gods in the plane.

As for who is the secular ruler after the war, the gods of the heavenly realm do not care, and the Terran ** team of Keos has no intention of staying for a long time, because there is still a threat from the northern orcs at that time.

However, in order to recover the cost of participating in the war, it is inevitable that the army of Asturias will take advantage of the opportunity to make money, and will take some of the local wealth, and then put it in a shrinkage bag or sealed box to bring it back.

Of course, in the words of Arron and others, shouldn't the people of the Kos go all the way to uphold justice and receive some payment?

The planes of conquest often have strongholds where the teleportation array is located, and the teleportation points that Keos leads to other planes are in the strongholds.

During the conquest, the nations can use the teleportation magic array in the stronghold to send reinforcements or transport supplies.

Trade with the Alien Plane began slowly in this way, which led to the need to maintain the territory near the stronghold.

The fundamental contradiction between the different planes that belong to the same celestial beliefs is the further territorial claims of the Kaosian states, due to the presence of mineral deposits in the heterogeneous plane.

In fact, Keos also has a large number of mineral deposits, but it is much more difficult to mine, like the city of Liberty There are not many mythril mines that appear in the deep stratum, but there are many mineral deposits in the deeper stratum or in the underground world, but if you want to mine, it is very easy to encounter the attack of the alien races in the underground world, and it is too risky to be enemies of many underground aliens in the deep stratum or in the underground world.

And in a place like Yugudral, once there is a deposit of minerals, it is much easier to mine, at least without worrying about attacks from underground.

Therefore, at the beginning of the plane conquest, the participants regarded the looting income as their reward for maintaining the purity of their faith, and the subsequent territorial expansion became completely naked banditry.

But the ass decides the head, and since they participated in the plane conquest, all the Kaos people took this expansion for granted, except that the pure looting of wealth was changed in their minds to the reward of territory.

But this does not make the contradictions unborn, of course, the original plane countries are dissatisfied with their looting in the name of justice, and the gods of the heavenly realm only care about faith, as for the melee of the believers is just a trivial matter for the gods.

Now that Asturias has found a deposit in Yugudral, it is natural that he wants to stay there again and turn the territory of the current Mithril Mine and several other deposits into his own possession, so that he can mine it for a long time and transport it back to Keos.

The Ugudrar Plane was originally due to the revival of the Roput Order, which worshipped the demon god Agareth of Purgatory, and secretly controlled the war of faith caused by the Kingdom of Gurumbel.

It must be noted here that the source of power of the demons of Purgatory is basically independent of faith, but this does not prevent them from playing with faith and establishing demon-worshipping churches in imitation of the gods of the heavenly realm.

This is also a means produced by the years of struggle between the Infernal Demons and the Celestial Gods, although this usually does not help to increase the strength of the Infernal Demons, but it can weaken the power of the Celestial Gods in disguise, and it is in response to the sentence "Let me be happy by telling you what you are unhappy about?"

The war has been going on for a month, and the Roput Order of the Gulambert Kingdom has still not been wiped out, but it has been attacked by other countries of Yugudral, and after the Keosian nation participated in the name of dimensional conquest, the original purgatory side has lost its advantage, and it is impossible for the Roput Order to resist, but now because of mineral deposits, a war has also broken out between outsiders and countries that also belong to the Heavenly Realm camp of the Yugudral plane.

Leave aside the deeper context of the war, because Solomon also has limited knowledge.

But it is now clear that not only did the natives of the plane have a conflict with the outsiders, but even the Koos states that participated in the battle of Yugudral, in addition to Asturias, the Saxon kingdoms and Aurora, all of which have territorial claims around these deposits.

Edward came back this time, first of all, to accept the mediation of the Church of Light, let the countries sit down and negotiate, and reasonably distribute the claims of the heterogeneous territory containing mineral deposits, and secondly, even if the Kaos states reached a compromise with each other, they would also have to face the counterattack of the Yugudral countries, and they would not allow these territories to be occupied by invaders.

So the war in Yugudral has become a long war, and perhaps for many years, it will be in a constant conflict, and the only way to mine the mineral deposits is to maintain the occupation of those places.

And this will require more fighters and soldiers to be put into it, which will be a huge upfront investment for any country, unless it is willing to give up its rights there.

For Regina, the pressure was even more immediate, requiring the Chancellor of the Exchequer to provide enough money to purchase sub-legendary armor similar to the Wind Spirit White Feather Armor that was better than the Elite in order to allow the Legionnaires to devote themselves to the war against Yugudral.

At the end of the day, it's money.

Money can't be conjured up all at once, and the troubles of the helpless Regina are far more than that, for example, the three businessman-like people who followed him at the beginning of the salon are actually the three most famous goldsmiths in St. Quentin, which is another ** annoyance, more urgent than raising military expenses.

Before starting this salon, Reginer had consulted with other courtiers who belonged to the same royal faction, but none of them had a good solution to the dilemma immediately.

He convened this salon just to see if he could get some inspiration from elsewhere.

The people who accepted his invitation, such as Henri or Solomon, or Aroon, and Derek the Merchant, and Welf, all had one thing in common, that they had no obvious faction.

Although the Spencer family of Angley is a big aristocratic family, it has always been low-key, and it is unwilling to fully take a stand, and likes to wander between Byron, Medici, Bourbon and other wealthy families and the royal family to seek their own interests, and Henley is the second son who is sure that there is no right to inherit, if the Spencer family wants to maintain good ties with the royal family at the same time, it is not surprising that Acquiescing to Angley's service to the royal family.

For Henry, it is definitely more advantageous to serve the royal family than to become a follower of Krausa, who is only one of the successors to the duke's throne.

Solomon also had a similar idea, and it was precisely because he remembered this salon in Regina that he directly refused Klausa's solicitation. The royal family and Bourbon are all springboards, but why not find the biggest springboard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what I want to know is, is there any effective way for you to help His Majesty and Asturias?" Seeing the righteous indignation of the crowd, Regina couldn't help but feel a little irritated in his heart, what he needed was not this kind of verbal cannon, either direct assistance or inspiration for a solution.

Everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, and it was okay to speak with a cannon, but after this sentence, you had to come up with something real.

Solomon did not speak, and it was Henri who spoke first.

"Sir Regina, I am about to gain the support of my family and start my own business, and for the sake of His Majesty, for the glory of Asturias, I am willing to devote my followers and the resources supported by my family to the battle in Eucudral. After saying that, Henley glanced at Solomon intentionally.

A smile erupted from Sir Reginal's withered bark-like face, "Mr. Henry, do you mean that for the sake of His Majesty and the country, you are willing to raise your own funds and troops to participate in the defense of the territory of Asturias?"

"Yes, Sir, I do, but I hope to be received by His Majesty when I have done enough meritorious service. Angli said respectfully.

"Although I can't promise to meet on behalf of His Majesty, everyone who has contributed to His Majesty and made enough credit should be rewarded. Regina smiled.

Everyone heard the answer between the two, and the real opinion of the reception that Angley wanted to ask for was not the reception, but the reward he wanted to get after his meritorious service, and he had to have a formal independent aristocracy when he went to see Edward.

This question and answer was actually Henley's request for a reward for meritorious service, and Reginer also hinted at it.

His eyes swept over the rest of the crowd, and the merchant Derek stood up, "Ahem, in order to support His Majesty, I am willing to provide a free donation of 200,000 silver coins to the royal family on behalf of the one hundred and forty-four members of the Commodity Exchange." ”

After listening to Derek's words, the others secretly scolded him for being cunning.

On the surface, 200,000 silver coins sounds like a lot, and Derek doesn't seem to be paid anything, but in fact, if it is spread over the heads of various members, each person only produces more than a thousand silver coins, which is still a huge expense for ordinary people, but for these wealthy businessmen, it is only a profit of one or two businesses.

And on the surface, they don't want anything, but in fact it represents a kind of proportionality of the businessmen, who donate money for shelter, but if they donate too much or donate too much, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be blackmailed.

The purpose of making a donation and saying that he would not want anything in return was so that His Majesty the King and his Chancellor of the Exchequer would not speak again in the future.

Regina, however, was satisfied, for it was a gratuitous donation, or rather a one-time war tax levied on the merchants.

"Donate or go to war, I need to go back and talk to my father. Instead of agreeing immediately, Aroon gave a vague answer, which he probably knew would not satisfy Regina too much, so he bowed his head in shame.

Regina was not angry because of this, and smiled gently at Arron, which made Arron feel grateful.
