Chapter 630: Not a cheap condition

Kant returned to the city. The most important task now was to settle the residents.

Although there were large numbers of undead ambushers in the north, as long as they were handled properly, Kant believed that they could be repelled.

After returning to the main city of Drondheim, Commander Bunduk walked over. His expression was extremely flustered. It could even be said that he was livid.

“Leader Kant.” Commander Bunduk bowed respectfully. Commander Bunduk had done a good job with the proper etiquette.

“What is it? Commander Bunduk, you were never this flustered.”

Kant frowned. He didn’t like his subordinates to act too rashly.

“Leader Kant, the elven colony’s Vedia wants to see you. He seems to have come with ill intentions.”

“Is that so?” Kant laughed out loud. “What does this messenger of the elven colony want with me?”

Bunduk shook his head. “You have to be careful. Should I add more troops?”

Kant raised a hand, indicating that there was no need for him to do so. The elven colony had always been in a neutral status with them, and this messenger of the elven colony had never done anything to harm him.

In the palace of the main city of Drondheim, the elven messenger’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, as if he was being trapped by something.

“Mr. Messenger, what brings you here today?” Kant still followed the proper etiquette. He also wanted to maintain a good diplomatic relationship with the elven colony.

“Hello, Lord Kant.” The elven messenger nodded to Kant very politely, and Kant also nodded back politely.

“There’s no need to visit us. I believe that Mr. Messenger must have something important to discuss with us in Drondheim today, right?”

Kant waved his hand and gestured for a few of his subordinates to bring over the Siaki wine, which had just arrived today. This was a good thing for entertaining distinguished guests.

“You guessed right.” The messenger laughed out loud. “I followed the Lord’s orders and came here to seek your help. As everyone knows, our elven colony has been invaded by the undead for a long time, and a large number of elves have already suffered unspeakably, so I hope that I can obtain your help, Mr. Kant.”

“Your suffering is a matter of your country. Why did you come to us for help? Do you think that we have enough troops to fight against the next undead?”

Kant laughed and handed the wine to the messenger, then he continued, “If I remember correctly, your elven colony seems to want to smuggle some elves over to my place? What is this for? To monitor us?”

“Absolutely not!” The elven messenger quickly waved his hand. “Mr. Kant must have misunderstood us. The elves that have been smuggled over are just some civilian organizations. They are definitely not unrelated to the lord. I hope you can understand. We really hope to get your country’s help, even if it’s just sending out a small army of a thousand people?”

“A thousand people army?” Kant sneered. “Mr. Messenger, aren’t you thinking too simply? How about this, you go back and tell your lord that I am willing to help, but not a single cent of the reward can be less.”

“Reward?” The messenger looked very confused. He did not know what the reward was?

“You just need to tell your lord the truth. I believe he will definitely know what happens next.”

The messenger was naturally troubled by Kant’s actions. If he went back just like that, he might be severely punished by the elven commander.

So the messenger continued, “Lord Kant, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what exactly is this reward? If I don’t ask clearly, my commander will not forgive me. Please tell me!”

Kant poured the glass of wine in his hand onto the ground. He stood up and looked down at the messenger.

“Mr. Messenger, your request is too much. Although the elven colony has always maintained a good relationship with our country, we will not compromise on the reward.”

Kant knew that the elven messenger wanted to extract some information from him and then bargain with him. He wanted to exchange for the help of the Drondheim people at the lowest price. However, this was not a very wise thing to do.

Kant knew that with his current strength, he could fight a serious war with the undead, but the result of the war would cause people to be stranded in other places. Moreover, it was currently the stage where the country’s strength was gradually increasing, if the situation worsened, perhaps all the efforts he had put in before would be in vain.

Kant only hoped that his country would have a place in the undead’s struggle. It would be a way to protect the allied forces and allow his country to rise steadily in the war, the way to do this was to try to keep Drondheim at a distance from the undead.

But he also knew that once the undead broke through the elven colony, their next target would be Drondheim.

The undead were dead creatures without much intelligence. Once they conquered the elven colony, they would definitely show off their power. At that time, Kant had no idea what would happen to Drondheim.

However, the reward was still an essential part. Moreover, this reward would not be simple. The leader of the elven colony had no choice but to agree to Kant’s request.

The elven messenger continued to speak in Kant’s ear, “Leader Kant, please believe in the credibility of our elven colony. As long as you inform me of the reward, I will report it to the Lord.”

Kant sighed and said, “Since Mr. Messenger cares so much about the remuneration, if I don’t tell you, I’m sure you won’t let it go. Alright, I will tell you.”

When the messenger heard Kant’s words, he seemed to have put down a huge stone in his heart. He let out a long breath.

“I’m willing to listen!” the elven messenger said.

“Give one-tenth of the elven colony to Drondheim!”

When Kant said this, he was very calm, as if he was drinking a glass of water. He was so calm that the elven messenger’s whole body was trembling.

“Mr. Kant, isn’t this request a bit too much?” The elven messenger couldn’t accept Kant’s excessive request. To him, the reward for dividing the territory was simply too terrifying.

This was not something that a messenger like him could agree to. He had to go back and report it to his lord. But before that, the only thing he could do was to ensure that Lord Kant sent troops smoothly and that the reward was minimal.

Just as the elven messenger was about to speak, Kant spoke first.

“Mr. Messenger, I know what you want to say next, but I advise you not to waste your eloquence. This will only anger me, and I will give up the idea of sending troops to the elven colony to help you. I hope that you can think clearly before you speak.”

The elven messenger had nothing to say. He stood rooted to the ground, like a pine tree on a snowy mountain. Was there really no room for negotiations?

If he went back and reported this to their lord, the lord might be furious, and he might be implicated.

“Go back.” Kant cut off the conversation.

The elven messenger was obviously disappointed by Kant’s words.

But he did not have the right to directly negotiate with Kant, so he could only bid Kant farewell and walk towards the door.

After the elven messenger had completely disappeared, only then did Bunduk say to Kant, “My Lord, if we don’t send troops to assist the elven colony, it might cause a fundamental break between the two of us. This would be a huge loss for us. Moreover, from what I see, the elven colony will definitely lose to the undead army this time. If we break through the elven colony, the undead army will march towards our city. If that’s the case, our hard-earned national strength might go down the drain!”

Bunduk spoke to Kant with a face full of hope, but how could Kant not know these principles.

He waved his hand and said, “Commander Bunduk, you’re still too young. Between the two countries, no matter how dangerous the situation is, it’s always about interests. Only interests are eternal friends. If we were the ones in the elven colony today, would they send troops to help us without any reward? This is obviously a very stupid question.”

Bunduk was deep in thought. The words that Lord Kant had said to him could obviously provoke him.

What Kant had to do now was to train the soldiers as much as possible.

Although his troop class was diverse, they were complex but not proficient. Kant had obviously seen this problem, so he quickly adjusted himself.

Swadian Sergeant was a troop class that was good with longswords. However, in Drondheim, due to the lack of ores, a large amount of impurities were used in the production of shields. This also resulted in shields that might fail at a critical moment.

Based on his understanding of the undead soldiers, this shield with a defense of at most 90 was obviously unable to withstand a small attack from the undead soldiers. Therefore, Kant now made a condition to the Jackalan city-state.

The Jackalan city-state was also being attacked by the undead at the moment, but compared to the elven colony, this city-state seemed to be more at ease.

Kant summoned a messenger bird and stuffed the maxim into it.

The messenger bird soon flew to the Jackalan city-state.

This group of Jackalans was savage by nature and loved delicious food. After the messenger bird completed its messenger mission, it inevitably became their food.

The king of the Jackalans was slightly dissatisfied when he saw the soldiers running towards the palace in a panic.

He thought that the undead was starting to invade them again. This was a subconscious projection of his. In the past few months, he had been constantly being attacked by the undead.

The city-state of the Jackalans was constantly attacked by the undead. Although it was just some minor attacks that didn’t cause much pain, it was obvious that this defense couldn’t last for long against this city-state that had been in disrepair for so long.
