919 The origin of the fairy dragon?
Although the sky is clear, a drought thunder suddenly sounded in such weather.
The young king's eyes lit up, and he took a deep breath: "What kind of expedition method?"
Beta did not answer him, but said directly: "Don't your Majesty the King think that Holeven is too small?"
Of course small... Although Holevin is not the smallest country in the world, no king would think that his country's territory is too large.
"Although the desert kingdom is more harsh, its resources are quite abundant. For example, there are a lot of magic materials, as well as a large number of underground copper and iron ore." Beta continued to smile and said, "The people there are indeed rough, but as long as they are properly trained, they can become excellent warriors."
Needless to say, Beta actually knows these things, the king actually knows them too.
He looked at Beta and asked lightly: "I still say the same thing, how can I cooperate?"
"Your Majesty the King, you and the Lords are responsible for sending troops, and our temple provides the priests with the army, and some necessary funds."
"How much is the military priest and how much money?"
"It can ensure that each legion can be equipped with at least ten people." Beta thought for a while and said, "For funds, it depends on the number of soldiers that His Majesty the King can summon. We promise that every time a soldier is summoned, we can provide funds of five silver coins."
"If I could summon two hundred thousand soldiers, wouldn't you just pay ten thousand gold coins? That would be too little."
Beta nodded: "There is indeed not many gold coins. After all, we opened mountains and roads some time ago and built canals, which cost a lot. Only ten thousand gold coins can be paid for about 80,000 troops for three months of food and combat. If the rest is left, let the king and the lords solve it."
"Since you proposed an expedition under the Pope, you will naturally have to take responsibility." The king chuckled softly, "You can pay half of the military expenses."
Beta chuckled and said, "His Majesty, I have always treated people with sincerity when speaking. I also think the conditions given just now are very sincere. If you think it is unreasonable, then this proposal will be given up."
Ten thousand gold coins are indeed not too many, but they have already exceeded one-third of the military expenditure, and there are also one hundred military priests, which is the big one.
In small countries like Holevin, there are very few magicians and priests that can be recruited in every war. They are not as good as big countries like Frans, and they are always a mage group.
Seeing Beta 'retreat' so quickly, the king said displeasedly: "Crown, this is not a method of negotiation. There is no way to remove the table if there is a disagreement."
"Negotiation is something that only opponents will do." Beta took it for granted: "We are allies. Your Majesty, you think we are enemies now, so naturally you can't continue to talk."
"Are you allies?" The king looked at Beta quietly for a while: "This is the first time I heard that the Divine Cult can become allies with the royal family."
Beta pointed out the window: "In the sunshine, everything is possible. God's power and royal power may not be mortal enemies. At least in the eyes of our God of Wealth, everyone can be friends."
"Why?"
"Our goddess is not interested in worldly power, life and death, and is not even concerned with the soul belonging of mortals. Her greatest wish is to see the prosperity of the world everywhere. Your Majesty can see our teachings."
The king was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "I have read your teachings and they are indeed well written. Then let me do it. I will first gather the lords and soldiers, the priests and funds you promised, I hope I can see within a month."
“As you wish.”
The king did not stand up, he looked at Beta: "The struggle between royal power and divine power has always existed. I hope that both of us can make a good start. So, now you can tell me what you want after the Eastern Expedition."
"The right to preach, right to open the way, and right to excavate the canal."
The king took a deep breath of air conditioning: "How is this possible if you want to build roads in the desert and you want to dig a canal in the desert!"
"Haha, if we rely solely on our God of Wealth alone, we will certainly not be able to do such a thing." Beta smiled: "But what if the God of Water is added? People outside say that there is no real friendship between the two sects, but our friendship with the God of Water is able to withstand the test of time and the baptism of interests."
Indeed, wherever there is a church of the Church of Wealth, there will be a church of the Church of the God of Water.
The king stood up with some expectation in his eyes: "I will look at the relationship between the royal family and the noble family with an optimistic attitude."
Then he watched Beta leave.
The living room was deserted. Without his orders, no one dared to approach this house.
He is the youngest king in Holevin history. Young means strong momentum, and in more direct terms, he means great ambitions.
As Beta said, he felt that Holevin was too young.
Even if Beta didn't propose to expedition the east, he would launch an offensive against the Desert Kingdom.
Now the Desert Kingdom was first occupied by Zoroastrianism, and then civil strife frequently occurred and was extremely weak. It was indeed an excellent opportunity.
Young lions always have the desire to expand their territory.
Opportunities are rare, and if you miss them, there will be no more.
On the other side, Beta teleported back to Wojin City, and then saw a quite unexpected person visiting.
This is a pretty elf woman, and Beta is quite familiar with her.
The demigod of the Elf clan, Koko Yara.
Although she is already a thousand-year-old old woman, her appearance is still like a girl. Her green silk dress is close to her body, and her body is undulating and makes people unable to move her eyes.
"You actually dare to come over."
"Why don't you dare?" Kokoyala smiled.
"Want another fight?"
Cocoala shook her head: "I don't want to fight to the death with an alien dragon of unknown origin. Respect comes from strength. I didn't know it before, but now I know your strength, so you have my respect."
Beta sneered: "Everyone said that the elves are kind, but they didn't expect that they are also power supremacists."
"The powerless Renshan is stupid. It's like a rabbit holding a carrot to the hungry wolf. If you want to save it, you will be swallowed up by the wolf. With power, Renshan is the lion throwing a bone and giving it to the jackal, who can only accept it with his tail."
Beta didn't want to discuss philosophy with her. He read too many books on this aspect on the ground, so he asked, "So, Madam Demigod, what is your purpose this time?"
"The elves need your bloodline." Kokoyala smiled and said, "The dragon you transformed into is very consistent with the aesthetics of our elves. It shines golden, elegant and has powerful power. I have even thought of the names of descendants."
