Murphy nodded and said,
“It will connect with Kerem Fortress to form a solid position, and at the sa ti will allow us to concentrate our strength in the complex terrain of the Southern Hills.
If we can hold off the Black Disaster there, it would be a stroke of luck for everyone.
But have you considered the negative consequences this arrangent might bring?
For instance, once the vanguard of the Black Disaster is halted at the Polluted Swamp, there’s no guarantee that the Jackals won’t divide their forces and advance towards the Kato area…”
“That’s for the Golden Flower Kingdom to consider, what does it have to do with us northerners?”
Duchess Xiani snorted, speaking with nonchalance,
“Or is it that the Golden Flower Kingdom has treated you so well that you, the yet-to-be-acknowledged Governor of Transia, need to consider issues from their perspective?
You see, Murphy, the Black Disaster is a calamity that intimately concerns all powers on the continent, a war that will exact a horrific toll in lives.
This ans not only Transia People and Nords will bleed; King Louis can’t expect us to do all the work for him.
And I think by now you should know who your friends are!
We’re placing our Fortress and defensive line in front of Crimson Castle, which ans we’ll be fighting side by side with you, but the Golden Flower Kingdom’s Exploration Corps is only strengthening the fortress cluster in the East Prussia Region…
That’s behind your battle line!
This already shows the attitude of the Golden Flower Kingdom; they want you to stand in front and act as cannon fodder to consu the military strength of the Jackals.
The Kato area is a problem, I admit.
But that’s not sothing we need to worry about, right?”
“Hmm, you make a sound argunt.”
Murphy outwardly agreed with the statent, but what he really thought could not be discerned from his amiable expression.
Xiani didn’t waste energy trying to guess his thoughts.
She put down her tea cup and stroked her braid, which highlighted her hair like the finishing touch to a dragon painting.
After a few seconds of silence, she said:
“The 6,000 prisoners and the additional 1,500 support soldiers we’re gifting have already set off from various parts of Nordtof and will soon be delivered to Transia.
This is the sincerity of Lupa.
But as I’ve said before, due to the non-cooperation of so prisoners causing casualties, we’ve supplented them with a portion of soldiers scaled down from our forces.
Murphy, I don’t want you to have any grievances against our Thorn Clan, so I’m being frank.
Those soldiers, ruffians stuffed into the prisoner group by the old generals of the Stubborn faction and sent to Transia to die, along with the prisoners drawn from the jail at North Wind Castle, are likely to be a big problem…”
Xiani hadn’t finished speaking when the Core Bead in Murphy’s hand suddenly vibrated.
He made an apologetic expression, picked up the Treasure Bead, and glanced at it.
It was a docunt from Pioneer Fortress, signed by Marshal Loren at the bottom.
However, it made Murphy’s expression turn ugly.
This imdiately caught the double attention of Cui Si and Xiani.
Without the ladies having to inquire, Murphy explained with a frown,
“Just now, Marshal Loren officially pledged to release the 10,000 Blood Servants they’ve captured and will send them back to Transia soon.
Besides that, the Half-Dwarf, with a grand gesture, has generously reinforced us with 50,000 Border Defense Force soldiers as part of the Golden Flower Kingdom’s ‘military aid’ to Transia, including the accompanying military supplies.”
“Isn’t that good news?
Why look so glum then?”
Xiani imdiately caught on to the crux of the matter and displayed a consoling yet insincere expression, saying,
“The Marshal of the Golden Flower Kingdom is certainly generous.
Once you receive these n, won’t the shortfall in personnel you’re facing be well resolved?”
“But my Transia isn’t the trash bin for your two countries!”
Murphy said in a low tone,
“Stuffing those ruffians, rebels, criminals, and troublemakers you yourselves disdain into the support troops to send to , are you truly keen to help, or did you specially co to make trouble?
If these people are not well-managed, it ans I will face a rabble of human rebels causing trouble everywhere right after I’ve just dealt with the nace of the Jackals.
You…
You really are a bunch of ‘great teammates’.”
“Murphy, don’t talk like that.”
Duchess Xiani responded with an unchanged expression,
“With your political acun, you should have foreseen this outco.
You’re at the table now, and it’s not ti for you to flip it yet.
You need people.
We’ve provided you with enough people.
You need supplies.
We’ve given you enough supplies to sustain the entire Transia.
Like a chef, you now have everything you need.
It’s up to your culinary skills to see if you can use these ingredients to concoct a dish that will astonish everyone.”
“My Murphy has quite the impressive culinary skills.”
Cui Si, who had been silent until now, stood up.
She positioned herself beside Murphy and put her hand on his shoulder, saying,
“You annoying fellows just wait and see.
My little Mo Fei will give you a ‘big surprise,’ I’m sure of it.
Now then, Lady Shani, you may leave.
We are busy with affairs and won’t see you out.”
