Bute Hamon bought strategic materials in Lily Harbor on a large scale, black iron, bronze, leather, war horses, timber and a large number of weapons, basically swept away the strategic materials that Lily Harbor could buy, and also bought a few ships.

The momentum, coupled with the publicity of recruiting people everywhere, shook the entire Kemert Kingdom, and Butehamun did not dare to take the Nune River again, for fear of being robbed halfway by the White City or the Holy City, so he had to take the sea and march along the coastline of the primordial ocean to the Ram State.

Menes' behavior of privately recruiting and training troops obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of the White City and the Holy City, and soon an envoy came to Menes City to question Menes and asked Menes to stop the army construction and report to the White City.

Through Jet, the Holy City warned Menes to express the Holy City's displeasure and demanded that Menes contribute 30% of this trade to the Holy City, otherwise the Holy City would be considered hostile, evacuate all temple personnel from the two realms, and refuse to pray and bless the people of the Menes Territory.

Menes was more radical and underestimated the reaction from both sides, especially the Holy City.

If the temple personnel were to be evacuated, I am afraid that the territory would erupt in popular protests, which would make Menes very angry.

The White City side can be disobeyed for the time being, but they can't fight anyway, and besides, they themselves are busy fighting with the Lily Queen now, and they probably don't have the energy to take care of Menes, so send a messenger to express their stance and it's over, but what about the Holy City?

Agreeing to the request of the Holy City, Menes was finally drained of some capital and was unwilling.

Openly hostile? The current strength is insufficient.

In the midst of his hesitation, an envoy from the Legion of the Nine Gods arrived in the city of Menes.

The envoy of the Nine Gods Legion asked for help from the entire Kemert Kingdom, the undead beasts in the Death Desert have been assembled, it is said that there are nearly 10,000 in size, skeleton warriors, termite cavalry, scorpion behemoths, griffin half-orcs and a large number of undead beasts are all ready to move in the Death Desert, the Nine Gods Legion is understaffed, the weapons and equipment are in tatters, and the spell of the entire defense line has been riddled with holes, and there is a risk of being broken through at any time.

The Garble Chariot Regiment of the Nine Gods Legion was ambushed in the desert in search of the undead beasts, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and the Nine Gods defense line was already in danger.

The commander of the Nine Legions, Djose, asked for support from the entire kingdom, sending distress letters to the pharaoh, the high priest, and all the lords.

But the entire Kemert Kingdom was unmoved, the last time the undead beasts invaded the Kemert Kingdom was a thousand years ago, and nothing like this happened in these years, not even one or two undead beasts that slipped into the defense line, the people of Kemert have long forgotten that there is such a thing as an undead beast, and there are very few people who have seen the undead beasts.

I can only occasionally hear the funeral people in the frontier talk about it, and it feels like the existence of a mythical story, so no one cares.

The Prime Minister is now bent on solving the problem of Queen Lily, so there are materials and troops to support the Nine Gods Legion? The other major lords are also busy standing in line, hoping to get a piece of the pie in the future, and they are not even more interested in rescuing the Nine Gods Legion.

The Holy City seems to be relatively concerned, and has sent its own priesthood and magicians to assist the Nine Divine Legion in strengthening the defensive spell to block the attack of the Undead Legion, as long as the Undead Legion does not enter the valley of the Nunn River, there is no need to be too anxious, and at the same time, the Holy City is ready to open the oracle ceremony, wanting to communicate with the gods to understand the affairs of the Undead Legion.

Menes was very curious about the matter of the Legion of the Undead, and pulled the envoy of Zoser to ask questions.

Menes plans to reinforce the Undead Legion, after all, his territory is closest to the most important of the Nine Gods Fortress, and once the fortress collapses, it will be Menes' territory that will be the first to be impacted.

Jett disagrees, in the current situation, although the undead army may be gathering, it should not be as dangerous as the Nine God Legion said, this kind of emergency reinforcement of the Nine God Legion is common, many times it is just the Nine God Legion, trying to increase its own strength is not too serious.

Now support the Nine Gods Legion, if you can't be beaten by the Nine Gods Legion as a shield, you will not benefit at all, you can only lose your own strength, and the White City and the Holy City may wish that Menes would take the initiative to send them to death.

In the hall, Jett, Nacht, and Menes discuss the matter together.

Jett shook his magic staff and said, "Dear Lord Menes, I don't think this move is appropriate, in the current form, we can't afford to lose the slightest, once we fail, we will be immediately attacked by the Holy City, which will make us powerless to resist, besides, the Kingdom of Noa in the south has been eyeing the enemy, and there is a possibility of invasion at any time, instead of preparing to defend against the main enemy, we will help the Nine Divine Legion and let them use us as shields?"

Jett is right, in fact, it is not only the aggressive holy city that annoys Menes now, but also the ambition of the southern kingdom of Noa, which has been exposed with the internal strife of the Kemert kingdom over the years, and the first thing to bear the brunt of the war is Menes's territory.

The Holy Cat State and the Ram State are the places of the four wars, and if they rashly support the Nine God Legion, once they have any losses, they may allow Noa to take advantage of the danger.

Nacht lowered his head and thought for a long time, then raised his head and said, "My lord, I think we should support the Nine Gods Legion, first of all, morally we must support the Nine Gods Legion, the Nine Gods are the defenders of the entire kingdom and have great influence, once the war breaks out, if the Nine Gods are lost, it will affect the entire country, and we are the sinners of the country." ”

"Secondly, the cold lips and teeth are the truth of what you said, the Nine God Legion has failed, none of us have the ability to stop the attack of the undead beasts, and we will still perish when the time comes, Nua defeats us, so we are only the alien race that rules us, and the invasion of the undead army is the purgatory of the whole world. ”

"Again, we may not be defeated in the current situation, as for the Nine Gods Legion to use us as a shield, we don't need to use it for him, maybe we can win if we master it, once you win, your prestige will spread throughout the mortal world, and when the time comes, whether it is the White City or the Holy City, you will have to give you three points, and it is impossible for them to turn a blind eye to the heroes who saved the country and the nation from peril. ”

"The most important thing is that we can also use this war to train and review our army, and at the same time establish a good relationship with the Nine God Legion, the two adults should be aware of the power of the Nine God Legion, and any lord who can establish a good relationship with the Nine God Legion has the best way out. ”

Nacht's analysis also makes sense, Jett talks about what to do after defeat, and Nacht thinks about it from the perspective of victory.

Jett looked at Nacht and said, "General Nacht, I understand your feelings for making achievements, but I'm afraid it's not okay to gamble on the safety of the entire territory and the fate of Lord Menes?"

"My lord, I have absolutely no selfish intentions in my remarks, I don't want to make a contribution, I just want our territory to be stronger, and Lord Menes has more power. Nacht retorted.

"Even if you win, what can you do? Losses are still inevitable, the friendship of the Nine Gods Legion can only be built on respect, and will not give you the slightest help, the Nine Gods Legion is a legion of gods, ignoring the affairs of mortals in the world, even the Holy City and the White City have no right to manage, they will not pay attention to Noa when they call that day, they will only guard the fortress, shouting for the oracle to guard!" Jett replied.

Menes had also learned about the Nine Gods Legion before, and the situation of this legion made Menes think that in the old world TV, the black-clothed night watchman guarding the Great Wall of Desperation, this Nine God Legion is simply a copy.

Is it true that they ignore mortal affairs? It seems that the records in the history books are not completely reliable, and who in the real world can really break away from the government organization? How can they rely on them alone? The Nine Gods Legion itself is extremely short of money and food, and it is not enough to ask everyone? As long as there is a request from everyone, it must be subject to everyone, and it is absolutely impossible to have an organization that is completely transcendent from the world.

Menes listened to the debate and quarrel between the two, waved his hand and said, "At present, the Holy City clearly wants to dedicate strategic materials to them, this is definitely not possible, if I give it directly to the Nine Divine Legion in the name of the temple, what do you think?

Jett and Nacht were stunned and looked at each other for a few seconds, and Jett was the first to say, "This...... Maybe, after all, the temple is indeed supporting the Nine Gods Troupe, and the strategic materials are given to the Nine Gods Legion, the temple should have nothing to say, and it is reasonable that the temple also has glory. ”

Nacht slapped his thigh and said, "This is a good idea, not only to support the Nine Gods Legion, win favor and increase our prestige, but also to leave the temple speechless, as long as the temple sees that our strength is fading, it should be satisfied that it does not pose a threat to them." ”

"Bai Cheng should have no opinion, after all, this is the support of justice, it really can't be done, take a small amount of materials in the name of Bai Cheng to the nine gods, so that the two sides are balanced. Jett's conservative theory of equilibrium runs through his thinking.

"White City?" Menes hesitated.

"If it had to be Pharaoh, I thought it would be better to give it in the name of the Lily Queen, how would you say Hemmer of the White City would react?" Menes asked.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's not right, right? You are openly siding with the Queen of Lilies, and making enemies of the Pharaoh. Jett disagreed.

"But if I give it on both sides, I'm afraid that neither the White City nor the Holy City will be satisfied, so why don't I offend the White City and put pressure on the White City?"

"But will it be difficult for Lord Andyèb, for your father is still in the hands of others!"

Menes thought for a while and said, "It's not difficult to do, I'll come out of the supplies, let the Lily Queen pick up the cheap, and pay taxes for her, so that Baicheng doesn't know, I give the Lily Queen a benefit, won't he thank me in the future?"

"So you want to side with the Lily Queen?" asked Jett, confused.

"I'm just on the weak side, didn't you say balance?

Both the White City and the Holy City are too strong, we need to ally with the weak, so as to form a balance between the Three Kingdoms, if the Lily Queen collapses, it is estimated that I will have to side with the Holy City, this is not the result I want. Menes uttered his Three Kingdoms Theory.

Jay nodded in agreement, in the current state, the two major forces are not easy to mess with, only the Queen of Lilies will really treat Menes as an alliance rather than a vassal.

Nacht doesn't have much of an opinion, Lord Menes' strategy should be correct, but are we going to send troops to support the Nine Gods?
