Norman's words caused a few minutes of silence in the entire hall. Fetis and Marcy looked at each other, suddenly freed from their previous state of quarreling just for the sake of quarreling.
Fetis is not a fool, and although Marcy is a martial artist, his unique political wisdom is why he is favored by the family and recommended to this position.
Before, the two of them had been quarreling habitually and had fallen into the endless cycle of family confrontation. Now being woken up by Norman's words was like a wake-up call. The two of them immediately realized that this was not the time to gossip in court discussions.
when.
No matter whether it is national prestige, profit, or fragrant fruits and gold coins, they are not as important as one's own life. And now that hundreds of thousands of demonic armies are about to attack the city, it is no joke that the entire King's Port is equivalent to being tied together.
Grasshopper on a rope.
Seeing that the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of Military Affairs finally calmed down, King Wood VI on the throne breathed a sigh of relief.
He really didn't want to offend these "founding fathers", but the current situation was indeed critical. If Massey and Fetis continued to quarrel, then he would have to end the court meeting temporarily.
Fortunately, Foreign Secretary Norman stood up at the last moment and saved some of the limited time for the kingdom.
"Mr. Norman, your suggestion is very reasonable. At this moment, it is indeed not the time to deceive ourselves and others.
We need help, we need help from our fellow human beings in other countries... So, which country do you think it is better for us to ask for help?
Westermar?”
Wood VI continued following Norman's words, which was equivalent to recognizing Norman's opinion.
If anyone comes out to object at this time, it will be really shameless.
Although Wood VI's royal power is not great, he is not to the point where he still tolerates it.
So when Wood VI said these words, Fetis and Marcy both stopped talking, preparing to make a decision after hearing Norman's plan for help.
"Westmar? Your Majesty the King, with all due respect, given the current state of the Western Border, the human kingdoms here may not be suitable candidates for help...
To put it bluntly, their own backyard is almost on fire, so how can they have time to care whether we live or die?
Even Westermar may not have the energy to send more troops to help us get out of this predicament now."
Norman smiled and shook his head, with a confident look on his face.
Seeing his expression, Fetis and Marcy, who were familiar with him, looked at each other and knew that the "honey blade fox" in front of them had already made a plan in his mind.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Wood VI took advantage of Norman's suggestion and gave him a small hand. The satisfied Norman immediately shook his head and laughed.
"Your Majesty the King, since Skeleton King has let the whole world know what we will face, why don't we take a longer view in seeking help?
You must know that this is not an internal matter of the countries in the Western Boundary. Fighting against demons and hell forces is a major event that needs to be faced by the entire first world.
We can jump out of the western boundary and use the thoroughfares of our ports to seek help from our overseas allies...
Moreover, judging from the outcome of the battle in the rainforest not long ago, there is one person who should be able to help us survive this disaster."
The smile on Norman's face became even brighter. He turned around and looked at the other subordinates with doubtful expressions on their faces, and a trace of amusement slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Xue Hua, have you heard of this person?"
"What?! You want to invite him?! This is absolutely not okay! Never!"
As soon as Xue Hua's name came out of Norman's mouth, Fetis Margery jumped up like a conditioned reflex, and at the same time jumped on his feet and objected loudly.
"Fetis, I know you have conflicts with Xue Hua, but for Akarat's sake, you are the Minister of Commerce!
There are no eternal friends and eternal enemies, only eternal interests. I believe you should know this better than the rest of us. Why are you so resistant when you are required to truly practice this sentence?"
When Norman said Xue Hua's name, he had already guessed that Fetis would jump out to object. After all, not long ago, the Margery family had just put the blame for the heavy damage to the Shining Shield Legion on Xue Hua. At this time,
Let them take money to find Xue Hua for help. If they readily agree, then they are called ghosts.
Therefore, he had already thought about how to respond to Fetis. Just this sentence silenced the Commerce Secretary who was still emotional just now.
"You have to know that this is a major matter concerning the survival of the kingdom. In the face of this kind of justice, shouldn't any personal grudges be put aside?"
"You!" Fetis looked at Norman with wide eyes, his face flushed but he couldn't find a reason to continue to object.
Minister of Military Affairs Massi stood quietly aside at this time.
Seeing this old rival who used to be sharp-tongued lose his temper, his heart felt as good as drinking a cup of fragrant ice-flavored fruit pulp in the dog days of summer.
"I would like to review Lord Norman's opinion. Your Majesty, the survival of the kingdom should indeed be the most important thing at this moment!"
He almost immediately made a heartbroken expression and gestured to Wood VI, meaning, "Even I, the commander of the Glorious Aegis Legion, said that I can accept it, so what about the grievances the Margery family has suffered before?"
What is it?"
"Very good! Let's do it then!
Mr. Norman, I will leave it to you to contact the Kurast seaport. We must make Mr. Xue Hua feel our sincerity!"
Seeing that the two important ministers had reached an agreement, Wood VI immediately made a decision and prepared to implement the plan, without giving Fetis any chance to continue to object.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Norman agreed without hesitation.
After the king gave the order, Fetis immediately understood that the Margery family had no room for opposition in this matter.
He suppressed the raging anger in his heart and retreated to his subordinates without saying a word.
"Very good! Since we will receive a strong reinforcement soon, the next thing is to defend our country before the reinforcements arrive... Well, what Ma Xiqing said just now does make sense, the Kingdom
The limited military power should not be wasted on the vast and undefendable Xiangguo Plain...
Ma Xiqing, you should immediately prepare a military order and order all the people and legions of the Kingdom on the Xiangguo Plain to shrink into the city. We must concentrate all our efforts to defend the capital, and we must not let those demonic executioners step into the city!"
Wood VI nodded, glanced at Fetis who had his head lowered and didn't know what he was thinking, and spat out a second command that was almost equivalent to beating a drowned dog.
Upon hearing this order, Fetis, who had his face buried in the shadow of his cloak, almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood. His hands covered by his luxurious robe clenched into fists, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
With.
The Margery family has really suffered a heavy loss this time. Not only is it about to send a large sum of money to its newly made enemy Xue Hua, but most importantly, once the demon army destroys a large number of fragrant fruit plantations on the fragrant fruit plain,
, the status of the Margery family in Port King will soon plummet!
And all of this was caused by that damn Xue Hua!
If he hadn't caused the Margery family to lose such a large number of people in the rainforest, how could Norman and Marcy dare to suppress him in the court meeting like this!
