In the glittering King's Harbour Palace, the quarrel between Petis Margery and Marcy Frank has been going on for some time, and it looks like it will continue.

On the king's throne in the center of the hall, Wood VI was gently pressing his eyebrows, trying to free himself from a severe headache.

He is not the lord of Lu Gaoin in the desert, and he does not have the domineering spirit of Lei Hein.

King's Harbour was founded on the union of four families, and in the beginning, the Wood family was just one of them.

Not even the strongest one.

As a result, from the founding of King's Port to the present, no king has been able to break free from the shackles of the three major families, even Wood II, who once had the ambition to unify the western frontier and build a huge empire worthy of the former Westmar Kingdom.

What his ancestors could not do, neither could he Wood VI, and because of the precarious circumstances of the moment, the kingdom had to rely on the three great families to tide over the crisis, so much so that he could not even stop the endless quarrels between the Minister of Commerce and the Minister of War.

Under the throne, Foreign Secretary Norman Joshua, who was watching the farce with a cold eye, glanced at the king's expression and shook his head secretly in his heart.

Wood VI had talent, determination, and the political skill of a ruler.

But he only lacks a domineering and courageous force.

During his decades in power, the king would always be the first to back down when any of his decisions were unanimously opposed by the nobles.

In Wood VI's dictionary, the word "dictatorship" never existed.

And this is the only reason why the current three families of King's Port can endure his rule even when his political ideas are contrary to his political ideas.

In a sense, it was Wood VI's indecision that gave the three families the basis to continue to grow in King's Harbor.

The Joshua family also benefited from it.

But now is not the time to rejoice, and what King's Harbor needs now is determination and solidarity at this critical juncture.

Thinking of this, Norman looked up at Fitis and Marcy, who were arguing with their foreheads, and thought for a moment, and then stepped out resolutely, ignoring the secretary of commerce and the secretary of war, who were scolding the vixen on the street, and made his own proposal directly to Wood VI.

"Your Majesty, the immediate crisis facing the kingdom is not whether it can keep its economic lifeline and the interests of those merchants, but how to resist the demonic army of the menacing Tristram."

With that, Norman turned around and glanced at Fitis and Marcy, who had stopped arguing over his words, and then looked back at Wood VI on the throne.

"Go on, Norman, and tell me what you think." Wood VI raised his hand, and took the opportunity to descend the donkey to signal the silence in the hall.

"Two Lords, Your Majesty, with all due respect, judging by the Kingdom's current state of armament, even if the deadly gray mist does not eventually cross the Xiangguo Plain and attack our city, the millions of undead monsters in the forest and the more elite demon clones that follow will be enough for the Kingdom to handle......"

"Norman! What do you mean! Why did you say such frustrating things at the beginning of the war? Could it be that he was horrified by Leoric's murderous name?! ”

Before Norman could finish his sentence, the Minister of War, Marcy, interrupted him loudly with a blushing face, and in his opinion, the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. legion, which had been trained by the Frank family, was definitely a solid bulwark that the kingdom could rely on.

However, Norman did not mean any irritation at all in Marcy's questioning, he just calmly glanced back at the military minister, and then went back to what he had just said.

“... We all know that monsters are rampant in the forest, and now that Leoric's gray mist has transformed them into undead spirits and gathered them under his command, it will be very difficult for us to deal with this large army of undead alone, once all the demon clones in Tristram pour out of their nests and attack the kingdom, we are afraid that we will not be able to resist it at all.

Therefore, His Majesty asked the King to allow me to pay tribute to other human kingdoms in the vicinity for reinforcements, and the kingdom needs a lot of support to ensure that it is fully prepared in this time of crisis. ”

"What?! Do you want to offer other kingdoms for help? Norman! Are you kidding me! This battle hasn't started yet! You're going to send money to someone else?

If the kingdom has to offer help to other countries every time it is in danger, you will lose how many gold coins in my kingdom's treasury will be wiped out!

Besides, where is the prestige of my kingdom? ”

After hearing Norman speak, it was the Secretary of Commerce who did not do it this time.

The Marjeries family is the money bag of King's Harbor, and every time the kingdom wants to take out money, it is basically their family's money.

Moreover, the amount of gold coins required for the request for help is not a small amount, and unless the parliament itself orders other countries to rescue King's Harbor, it is necessary to pay a large amount of "military money" to ask for help from other countries.

However, the problem now is that only the people of King's Harbor know that Leorick is coming for them, and the rest of the Western Realm still thinks that the awakened Skeletron is about to sweep through the entire Western Realm after hearing Leoric's "get up" declaration.

Therefore, at this moment, all the countries in the entire Western Realm are waiting for each other, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and even the reinforcements of the Council have been sent to all the large and medium-sized human kingdoms in the Western Realm.

In this case, it would be complete nonsense for King's Harbor to ask the Council for help alone, and when the Council approves it, I am afraid that Skeletron's sledgehammer will be smashed on their heads.

But in the same way, in this case, if King's Harbor needs to ask for help from other human kingdoms privately, the cost is estimated to be several times or even dozens of times that of normal days.

Because at this time, the entire western realm is in a state of rumors, grass and trees, and there are not enough people to repair their own courtyard walls, where is there anyone willing to take care of other people's affairs?

If you want to borrow manpower from other countries in the Western Realm, then this "sincerity" has to be fully sufficient, and judging from the current situation, at least one-third of the treasury must be emptied before it is possible to borrow enough troops from other human kingdoms.

At such a big price, how do you make Fetis, the Minister of Commerce in charge of finance and commerce, grit his teeth?

It hurt more than cutting flesh on the tip of his heart......

However, in the face of Fetith's almost jumping questioning, Norman only used two sentences to silence everyone.

He glanced at the ministers and kings in the hall with a flat expression, and then spoke in a voice with a faint mocking tone.

"Colleagues, Your Majesty, at this moment, should we put national prestige and interests first, or should we put national security and life first?"
