Chapter 32
: Disasters from Money
At this time, Finnuba finally knew why Imrik had delayed coming to the War Council for a few days. He just wanted to take advantage of the anxiety of everyone and take the opportunity to speak loudly, saying in a low tone, "Since Imrik wants to participate in the trade, it is naturally a good thing. When I talked about this with Mikhail, he expressed his clear opposition. I will send the Trade Minister to discuss this matter with Kaledo's envoy."
He looked at Finnuba calmly, and Mikhail was his ex-long relative.
But Finnuba's words are interesting. If it weren't for the identity of a time traveler, they would have been tricked by this guy. It's right that the former Prince Dragon was not interested in trade, but part of the reason was Finnuba's induction.
Because except for stone, only arms are specialties, and Finnuba said that he would give Kaledo a lot of financial assistance, as long as he defeated Truzi.
And he suggested that if he performed well, he would support Imrik in running for the next Phoenix King, which made the former prince focus on the war.
But the result is that Kaledo's financial situation is getting worse and worse. The more people die in the war, the less likely they are to win. When there is no way out, they will ask for assistance from the Phoenix Court. At that time, Kaledo's dragon and the dragon prince will be tied to the throne of Finnuba.
After hearing Finnuba's words, Lilazer gave a different condition, "Since the prince does not need money, I heard that Grington is presided over the expansion of the port of Chulong Bay, Avalon will provide a batch of high-quality wood to Kaledo. I wonder how many people and arms the prince can provide now?"
Imrik, who got some of the things he wanted, nodded secretly. Although these things will not benefit in the short term, they are a long-term project, "an army of three thousand people and four thousand sets of equipment."
Not satisfied? Just as the other people were looking at Imrik, Prince Dragon had already looked at Aydul and Gilgalyon, waiting for them to offer a offer.
"Teren Locke can provide a batch of Iserama silver and 40,000 gold leaf coins." Aida, who knew this time it was bankruptcy and disaster-free, sighed. Compared to the casualties of the people, he was more willing to let Imrek lead people to resolve the threat of the invasion of the monster.
Unexpectedly, Imrik shook his head, "It seems you still don't understand what I mean, Prince Gilgalyon, your insulting Kaledo's remarks, I think you need to make up for this mistake with the most precious things in your Arion."
Then he looked at the chief maid, "Ms. Lilazer, Kaledo has two hundred dragon princes stationed in Avalon. I need them to return to Kaledo and defend Kaledo's glory with the Dragon Lord."
This is an unexpected surprise. The fleet is expensive, but this time it will offend all countries.
Looking at Prince Dragon who spoke loudly in front of him, Arion could take out so many war horses, but if he did this, it would not be as simple as the court's conspiracy after he went back, "at most four thousand."
Seeing the Eternal Queen watching the War Council through a magic projection, everyone except Finnuba stood up and bowed.
The situation of the meeting was deadlocked because of Imrek's words. At the prince's level, speaking was extremely important. Judging from Imrek's appearance, if Elyon did not give a satisfactory answer, he would not mind that after thousands of years, a civil war of elf was launched after Marekis.
This shrewd old guy, Gilgalyon cursed in his heart, but he still spoke, "Elyon will also exchange a batch of Iserama silver for arms."
Unexpectedly, Imrik had no idea of bargaining with him at all. He was completely different from the way he had been quarrel before. He stood up and said to the Phoenix King, "Your Majesty, since Prince Gilgalyon believes that insulting Kaledo is a trivial matter, after this tide of dusk, I will go to Elir in person to ask for an explanation."
"One of the responsibilities of the Eternal Queen is to maintain the peace of Oshuan. Prince Dragon said just now that he wanted to participate in the trade, Avalon had the best quality wood and could entrust Cosquie to build a trade fleet for Kaledo to make up for the losses caused by Kaledo's years of war for Oshuan."
Gilgalyon also knew that he would lose money this time to avoid disaster. With the appearance of this Dragon Prince, if he did not give a satisfactory price this time, even if the willingness to fight was suppressed by the Eternal Queen, his future military preparations would only depend on himself. Arion's domestic blacksmith skills can only be said to refer to the smelting level of nomadic civilization.
It is also difficult for other kingdoms to send troops to help Elir for such seemingly legitimate reasons, and Elion's strength is comparable to that of Caledo.
Gripping his teeth and saying his offer, "Six thousand, this is the maximum quantity I can provide."
The Eternal Queen on the magic projection narrowed her eyes slightly. As someone who has been dealing with the courts of various kingdoms for many years, she knew the meaning behind Imrik's words. If she didn't fight, she had to pay more.
Imrik's implication is that I can't siege Elyon without bringing people to siege Elyon for the things you gave me, but I can't control the people under my command. It's another matter for them to organize the volunteer army.
The queen in the projection made others not need to be polite. Elarili looked at Prince Dragon, her voice was crisp and beautiful, like the singing of a lark. "The remarks of Prince Dragon and Prince Gilgalyon are indeed inappropriate, but this is not the reason for the conflict between the two countries. As Elsa's daughter, I hope you two can live in peace."
With his index finger stretched out, Imrik's tone was calm, as if it was a matter of course, "Ten thousand horses, I promise that Elyon will not lose any losses in this tide of dusk, and that the arms will be given priority to Elyon's riders."
At this moment, a magic projection suddenly appeared on the ring that Lilazer placed on the table. On it, a woman with an extremely dignified temperament and quiet as water appeared. Her long golden waterfall-like hair was tied behind her head, her eyes were as beautiful and restrained as the most exquisite gemstone, and her face was the eternal queen - Elarili.
He bowed a little and saluted Ellari. He was a little better than the Eternal Queen, and he began to show miserable misery again. "Your Majesty, I never thought that this was the first time I participated in the war parliament since I succeeded to the throne. When the Phoenix King told me to rush to Lothen, I wiped out the monsters around Tal Carred as quickly as possible, and let Randy take charge of the palace, just to fulfill Kaledo's obligations as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, the only thing Kaledo in his mind was glorious and brave, and he was infected with the ugliness of Oshuan's politics. He thought for a while and spoke.
"Caledo naturally accepted his love with respect, but Gilgalyon must make a statement, otherwise the Dragon Court would be ridiculed, and the Kaleedo people would also think that Arion was protected by the Queen and evaded responsibility. As a prince who had just succeeded to the throne for two months, it would be difficult for me to control the situation in the country."
Even if Kaledo's strength declines severely, it is not possible for the Arionites, who are mainly light cavalry, to hit the battlefield.
Gritting his teeth and saying, "Seventy thousand golden leaves."
At this time, Moralion, who is a peacemaker, suddenly got involved, "Caledo's efforts to Oshuan are obvious to all, and it is necessary to make some compensation. Iris will exchange a batch of Iserama silver for a batch of arms, and Arion should also show some sincerity."
"I didn't know that before I could even take a half-step into the war parliament, I had already heard Prince Gilgalyon planning the rare military equipment of Kaledo. It really made me feel heartbroken, and his words seriously insulted Kaledo. If there was no reasonable explanation, the dragon and the rifle might make Prince Gilgaleon change his mind."
To be honest, Imrik was a little surprised when he first met the Eternal Queen.
The reason is also very simple. The two sides were constantly discussing according to Asul's tradition, but Elyon, who valued glory because his speech was inappropriate insulting Prince Dragon, heard other kingdoms insulting Prince Dragon and mobilized public opinion. Imrik originally wanted to stop him, but he could not resist the excited emotions of the people. He had no choice but to lead his troops to Elyon.
"Seeing that the Queen has worked hard to pay attention to the War Council in person, seven thousand, I think the people of Kaledo can feel this sincerity." Imrik made a gesture to represent seven in Asul, "and I promise that the future armament will be given to Elyon in good condition."
But Imrik didn't care about this. If Val'er anvil and the sleeping dragon were not in the Dragon Ridge Mountains, he would have planned to carry the bucket and run away, so it would be fine if the toilet ring was not waiting.
Finally, everyone looked at Gilgalyon, which made him feel very embarrassed. After all, he was still challenging someone just now and is waiting for their assistance, but there is no way. Yesterday's report showed that several scorpion tailed lions, Chimera and bulls rushed from the Annooli Mountains to the grasslands of Arion.
This woman is indeed beautiful. No wonder Brother Tai was fascinated by the fact that he suddenly felt that way. He was not as good as the silver moon dragon Agnegnier. Haha, woman, it will only affect my speed of cheating money.
Unexpectedly, Imrik shook his head directly, "What makes you think I am a lowly businessman, Prince Gilgalyon. If you want golden leaves, I can directly open the treasure house of the Dragon Palace and trade the Doomsday anvil with the dwarves. The gold in their treasure house is much more than you."
It was simply whimsical to let the cavalry deal with those giant beasts. The effect of the Eagle Clawed Beast Cannon against these giant beasts is actually that. With the protection of Xie Yue, I really thought that the Bird Cannon could kill the giant beasts, so I was a little whimsical.
The most precious thing? Soon Gilgalyon thought of it. This guy wanted a war horse and asked with a gloomy face, "How much do you want?"
Gilgalyon looked at the others and found that most of them did not say that Aidra and Moralion had already obtained what they wanted, while Berlanar was not interested in the struggle between these princes. As a Phoenix King with a reputation greater than real power, Finnuba also hoped that Kaledo would stabilize the kingship.
Before Terion, the descendant of Enario, emerged, Kaledo was Ossuan's most important reliance. In addition to the navy, he was the most capable of fighting. Even Kosqui also needed Kaledo's strength. Amana, the ancient sea dragon, was also held in the hands of the dragon court, and three giant dragons fighting in the navy.
In addition to being poor, Kaledo is the beginning of Tianhu for Imrik. The former prince focused on being indifferent to face and cheating money, but the current Prince Long, as a time traveler, did not have this burden. Give these people a good look and only a good look. If you don’t make a fortune, you will be sorry for so many warriors who died on the battlefield.
Prince Elyon, who understood the situation, nodded with difficulty. Most of the seven thousand war horses must be sold in his family's horse farm. It can only be said that this war parliament would not participate. It would be better if it was not gained any benefits and caused trouble.
