Master Overlord - Chapter 393
“Sir, if we continue to sell weapons to the green and Davidson families, I’m afraid it will completely annoy the Duke of kewilt and the nobles in the north.”
Seeing that Arthur and Gustav had reached a tacit understanding, the bachelor quickly warned with concern: “although this is the request made by pace kewilt, if things are really as stated in the letter, the matter of weapons will concern all the other northern nobles.”
“Master Boye, there’s nothing to worry about!” Gustav responded indifferently. “When the wild people are defeated, the Duke will be busy cleaning up the traitors. When the traitors are cleaned up, there will be chaos in the Kingdom waiting for him!”
“Moreover, according to the current situation, even if the two families get these weapons, they will not dare to take the initiative to attack until the court and the South have not decided the victory or defeat. If we do so, it will not be regarded as causing trouble to the Duke.”
“As for the future, hey! Who knows when to wait. At that time, we will not be afraid of them when we go to the river!”
Looking at Gustav with a disapproving look on his face, bachelor Boye frowned and said: “the situation may be as you said, but doing so will seriously damage the reputation of the count, and giving so many weapons to the green and Davidson families will also threaten us to go up the river in the future!”
“Master Boye, don’t be so serious.” Gustav smiled and looked at the dignified bachelor. “We’ve received a deposit. It’s just according to the contract. How can it damage your reputation? Besides, we, Lord Arthur, don’t care about the praise of those nobles. As for threats, hey, they have to have that ability!”
Looking at Gustav, Arthur immediately smiled and scolded, “you profiteer, you don’t want fame, I want it!”
“My friend, raise the price temporarily, but what you said, like the bachelor, I didn’t intend to give them weapons.”
“You didn’t want to refund the deposit!”
“Hey, how else can I say that Gustav is your best friend?”
“Don’t compare you with me!” Arthur said with a spiteful look at the winking Gustav. “I only said to raise the price, but I didn’t say to sit idly by. You profiteer just wanted to take the opportunity to swallow other people’s gold coins. I’ll be scolded at that time.”
Looking at Arthur, Gustav was stunned. His witty words stuck in his throat. After half a ring, he said in doubt: “my friend, do you mean… We should also participate in this war? This is not in line with your development strategy!”
“I’m crazy. I’m going to wade in this muddy water on purpose!” Arthur straightened his face and looked at Gustav and the bachelor seriously. “It’s not easy for us to have such a development opportunity when we go up the river. If it’s not necessary, of course, we should stay away from the chaos of the kingdom.”
“Then you just said you wouldn’t sit and ignore…” Gustav supported a round face and stared at Arthur across the desk.
Looking at them, Arthur explained: “the Duke is busy dealing with the wild people now. As long as the green and Davidson families don’t take advantage of the chaos and sneak attack, we don’t have to pay attention. But if they still choose to take the initiative after they get the weapons, I’m afraid it’s not so simple.”
“Although chaos is good for us, if it is too chaotic and even let the green and Davidson families succeed, it will be very bad for us! For our leaders on the river, the long-term stalemate and chaos are the most favorable.”
“As long as we are not strong enough to ignore any enemy, neither the Duke nor the court can let them unify the Northern Territory. Therefore, we should neither give the two weapons nor sit back and watch them attack the Duke from the rear.”
“This…” Gustav frowned and thought, and the expression on his face gradually changed from doubt to surprise. “Arthur, do you mean the Duke will be in big trouble?”
“I don’t know. Giving them weapons is to see how things will develop. However, I always have a bad hunch: first, the wild people go north, then the West sit idly by, then the green and Davidson families intend to sneak attacks, and now even pace has become a hostage to the wild people. These things together always make me feel that the kewilt family is in danger.”
“It’s all a coincidence,” Gustav said immediately. “The wild people go north because they want to go to the West. The West doesn’t pay attention because they are not strong enough and have to guard against the attack of the high court. As for green and Davidson…”
“Even if it’s a coincidence, it’s true!” Arthur interrupted Gustav and said positively. “In any case, the Duke shouldn’t agree to take pace as a hostage. Once an accident happens, it will be a devastating blow to the kewilt family!”
On one side, the bachelor sighed helplessly: “Duke kewilt must also be forced to be helpless. This time, the West has hurt the north. Pace is his child.”
“Arthur, why don’t you write to remind the Duke,” Gustav suggested. “Pace kewilt is a good man. Although he is not very smart, he is a rare real knight, and has a good relationship with us. It’s unreasonable to see him take risks.”
“It’s no use,” Arthur shook his head, “Because pace is a real knight, he will come forward without hesitation in the face of such a situation and regard it as responsibility and honor. Our Duke, just because he is smart enough and has too many calculations, has lost a trace of determination and ruthlessness, and has kept the traitors Glen and Davidson until now.”
“That’s right.” Gustav nodded and said with a slightly regretful tone. “It was because he paid too much attention to chivalry that pace kewilt participated in the court coup. Finally, he was stripped of his golden robe and nearly lost his life.”
Arthur ignored the digression and continued: “Therefore, the most complicated situation in the kingdom is our northern territory. There are not only our river leaders, but also traitors and over inflated vassals. It is estimated that the Knights under the Duke at the moment will not exceed 20000. Such strength is not much better than the western territory. If there is a slight accident, the fate of the kewilt family will be unpredictable!”
“God, this is really a headache…” Gustav sighed with a headache on his face. “My friend, just tell me what I need to do! Thinking about these problems is really a headache. With my wisdom, it is suitable to be a profiteer.”
Arthur straightened his mind and ordered, “when the weapons are produced, give them directly to the two families. Let them pay for the rest as much as possible in grain. The more, the better!”
“In addition, let the spies pay close attention to the movements of the two families. If there are any abnormalities, they will report immediately. Now the recruits have just entered the camp. If they have the opportunity, they can have a long-distance training to scare them.”
“In addition, we have to seize the opportunity of the current turmoil and continue to make arrangements for the refugees. We can negotiate with the two families. Now they have a request from us and don’t have to be polite to them. As long as we have enough food, the same number of people, the better.”
