Principality of Jean, City of Fore, Royal Council. Grand Duke Jose still has that submissive expression today, and it seems that nothing can make him smarter.
However, the three Jean ministers present knew that their master was far simpler than he appeared on the surface, and his methods were extremely cruel.
"Before the meeting, I want to say one thing first. This official document contains the detailed information of a certain person, and this person is currently in the city of Fore."
The man in the second seat was the first to speak, while others had already placed an official document in their hands. "Arena" and "Shayru Principality" were specially marked in red ink, and there were enough records like a running account.
It is filled with more than a dozen parchment scrolls.
"This person's name is Lawrence, and he has been identified as a spy planted by the Principality of Shayel in our city of Fore."
"Your Majesty, you are right. Therefore, apart from seeing things on the bright side, the other party has gained nothing in recent years."
"But in my opinion, this person is just like the toad on the instep. Although it can't bite anyone, it is extremely disgusting. Therefore, I think we should deal with it as soon as possible. It is best to kill him today."
The first person to speak was named Kellias, and he was the current financial officer of the Principality of Zeon. Although this man was not good-looking, he was able to draw a line between life and death for the Principality of Zeon, which was already on the verge of collapse.
"Walking on thin ice" is his true portrayal, and "doing everything possible" is his wise saying. It can be said that Kellias's persistence in gold coins is no less than that of Elba, the Grand Duke of Shayrus.
As a Zeon, Kellias has always hated other principalities because his parents were killed by a mercenary group during the decline of the Principality of Zeon.
Although Caelias was an adult at that time, he was still unable to fully control the family. The fall apart seemed to be tomorrow. Grand Duke Jose sent the principal cavalry to rescue him overnight, and brought Caelias to live in the palace.
Therefore, no matter what the reason, Kellias' loyalty to the Principality of Jean and Grand Duke Jose is unquestionable. This is his bottom line, and it is also a key part of Jean's growing strength.
"I fully agree with Kellias's proposal, and I really hope to take action on this matter myself. The Principality of Shayeru has gone too far to bully others. If you hadn't stopped it, I would have fought to the death!"
"What a bullshit mountain scorpion, it's nothing more than a reptile in front of an elk. As long as you say a word, the Archduke, I will break into pieces and vow to attack Cadian City."
"Don't forget today. I think it's best to get rid of that fly now. Although our Principality of Zeon is in some decline, it is not someone who can be bullied casually."
A big hand slapped on the table, causing the tea cups in front of everyone to tremble slightly. The strong man's name was Grenville, and he was the current commander of the Principality of Jean.
Although he was different from everyone present, he was born in a slum. How could he doubt Stern's words, and how could he tolerate the Shaylu spy walking around under his nose?
Although the Zeon Iron Cavalry is not as good as other principalities in terms of quality or quantity, the current number of high-level professionals in the Principality of Zeon can be counted with two hands.
But Grenville has never lost its blood. It is a kind of madness that fights for life, and it is the bottom line of Jean's cavalry today. Failure is not terrible, the terrible thing is repeated defeats; death is not terrible, the terrible thing is dying.
I have always been afraid of the enemy.
As long as you can bite off a small bite of the enemy's flesh, as long as you can trap the enemy for even half a minute, as long as you can consume one of the enemy's magic crystals, then this is the victory of Zeon's Iron Cavalry, which is enough to drink happily.
Grenville looked at the top of the list with burning eyes. He was looking forward to Grand Duke Jose's permission to allow himself and Jean's Cavalry to gain glory again.
However, at this moment, the voice of the last minister rang out. The atmosphere in the stone chamber was instantly destroyed. Financial Officer Caelias frowned, and Commander Grenville glared at each other.
"Grenville, as the financial officer, your most important responsibility is to make the Principality of Jean rich and powerful. It would be great if you could fill the treasury with crystal coins every year."
"Kelias, as the commander, your first responsibility is to ensure that the Principality of Zeon is peaceful. If the number of the Principality's cavalry can be increased a little every year, then that is what you should really pay attention to."
"You two, since you all know that the Grand Duke has known about this matter for a long time, why don't you think about why our Grand Duke ignored this person?"
"Spies can spy on the intelligence of our Principality of Zeon, but they can also bring our traps back to Shayel. Everything has two sides. Good things can turn into disasters, and disasters can naturally turn into opportunities."
"I don't agree with your decision, and I even think that this person should be ignored. Only by sending him the wrong message can the Principality of Sayeru relax its vigilance."
"In addition, the biggest trump card of our Principality of Jean is under the palace. As long as the people present don't tell it, who will know?"
"I recognize the financial officer's decisiveness, and I admire your bravery, commander. But the actual situation is that the Principality of Jean is still ranked last among the nine principalities, not even as good as the frozen continent."
"Although forbearance may seem a bit frustrating, it is our only choice now. There is no peak power, chaotic order, and a worrying number of principality cavalry. I ask myself that I can't see any way to defeat Shayel.
."
The speaker's name is Theo, who is the consul of the Principality of Jean, the right-hand man of Grand Duke Jose, and the most influential person in the city of Fore.
His perspective on things is very similar to that of Archduke Jose. "Profit" is not just a moment of fighting and fighting, but the person who laughs last.
If the Principality of Zeon wants to survive this period of decline, it must avoid direct conflicts with other principalities as much as possible, just don't even think about it.
"We can kill a Shayul spy, but who can guarantee that there are no spies from other principalities? Such behavior will not change anything at all, but will make people feel like 'there is no silver here.'" p>
"You two, remember, the secret room under our feet is the biggest trump card of the Principality of Zeon. As long as the magic experiment goes well, the Principality of Zeon will come forward sooner or later."
After saying this, Consul Theodore turned to look at Archduke Jose. I saw that this person in charge of Jean had put away his submissive disguise at some point and turned to a sophisticated look.
"Let this person stay in Fletcher City, but the monthly tax for the arena must not be less."
"Theodore, send someone into the arena to find out what information the other party has."
"Grenville, station the newly promoted principality's cavalry in the barren mountains, but at the same time beware of prying eyes from the Principality of Cisse."
"All three of them are the pillars of the Principality of Zeon. The future of our Principality of Zeon depends on you all."
Archduke Jose slowly put down the tea cup, then stood up and left first. Treasurer Caelias sighed, Commander Grenville suppressed his blush, and Consul Theodore smiled and nodded.
