Howard was stunned, and his expression suddenly darkened: "Do you know something?"
Drew nodded.
He stared at Howard and said calmly: "I just came back from Xie Fang, and our Majesty told me personally."
Howard sneered: "That may be His Majesty's special regulations for you."
Drew shook his head: "I took out 20,000 gold coins and hired 10,000 Dragon Flame Army. With such sincerity, why do you think Xie Fang has any reason to reject me?"
"But he still rejected me. You should be able to understand the meaning of this."
Howard's face was filled with astonishment, and his heart was in turmoil.
First, I didn't expect that Drew would actually spend 20,000 gold coins to hire a 10,000-strong Dragon Flame Army. This financial resource is simply terrifying.
Xie Fang's annual military budget is only 10,000 gold coins.
But I didn't expect Drew to get 20,000 coins in one shot.
For Xie Fang, who loves money, this is simply an offer that he will not refuse.
But Xie Fang refused.
This is what Howard finds most incredible.
"He really refused!" Howard said in shock.
"It's absolutely true." Drew said seriously: "I don't think you, Earl, would have spent 20,000 gold coins on the Dragon Flame Army."
Howard didn't answer Drew, but he made a calculation in his mind.
Putting all his properties together this year, after deducting all expenses, it would be considered good to have 20,000 gold coins left in a year.
As for Drew, he didn't know, but he probably only had about the same amount of money left in a year.
But Drew was able to spend 20,000 gold coins to hire the Dragon Flame Army, largely because of Drew's port.
The more dragon flame troops are hired, the safer Drew's port and ships will be.
Howard's property is now located on the Australian continent, and the care of homes and homes does not require as many dragon flames as Drew's.
Twenty thousand gold coins did not move Xie Fang's words.
So how could Xie Fang agree to rent his army with the conditions he could offer?
Thinking of this, Howard took a deep breath, then slowly came out and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do by telling me this?"
A smile appeared on Drew's face: "I like to deal with smart people like the Earl. Earl, I can provide you with asylum, but you must promise me that we will join forces to target Xie Fang."
Howard was stunned. He didn't expect Drew to actually attack Xie Fang, and he immediately became hesitant.
After all, Xie Fang is the actual ruler of Australia.
The Dragon Flame Army under him is simply invincible to them.
"We two businessmen, fight against Xie Fang?" Howard laughed at himself: "My friend, what makes you think we can fight against Xie Fang?"
Drew leaned close to Howard's ear and whispered.
Howard was stunned, looked at Drew with complicated eyes, and asked, "Really?"
Drew nodded.
After Howard got the affirmative answer, his face turned green and red, and he hid his eyes and stared at the mural on the wall, as if he wanted to see through all the complicated colors.
Drew patted his shoulder and said calmly: "They Longyan people are unjust, why don't you resist, are you waiting to die? Only when Xie Fang falls will we have a greater chance?"
"Now the opportunity for his downfall has come. If you don't seize it, someone will."
Hearing these words, Howard's eyes lit up with fire and determination.
