Chapter 43 (2/2)
While the lords of theon the inside, the lords of the outskirts of Pande a war alreadyThis could only be explained by the sanity of their leaders
‘As I thoughtThe reason why I don’t know Lee Chae Rin’
Now he knehy she could not show up during the Lord Union est she could survive was probably until right before the first Lord Unionon 25th December 2012She will be stripped off of her title before then… Or worst be killed by the other lords
“So”
He continued
“How am I supposed to help you?”
“That is…”
She hesitated
After listening to hi to express herself as a lord
“If you are trying to act like a lord at this point, it is too lateJust tellChul In snity to be protected
“Send… SendarmyYou are a lord tooIf you send me the troops…”
“I oppose”
He cut the conversation sharp, declining Lee Chae Rin’s request
“If what you want is a supporting troop, then there is nothing to be discussed furtherIt is a waste of time”
“Why? You said you’ll help!”
“I can give you personal advises of helpBut sending troops is a different matter”
It was
A siion of the army was different in scale
A War is not a joke
Asking for a troop was not to be said even as a jokeEven if Kang Chul In wanted to help her, he had to put things straight
“Lord Lee Chae Rin”
He looked at her straight into her eyesClear to the point
“Think about itThefor troops”
“……”
“Is there a reason why my people have to spill their blood to protect you and your land? Of course, they will die for you if I give the right ordersBut where is the ht about the blood my people will have to spill because of your request?”
“……”
His cold answer made her freezeShe didn’t expect him to decline the request like this
“MrChul Iive up
“I’ without a price”
This showed how desperate she was
“Let’s make a deal”
/p>
She finally showed her side of the card
“Deal?”
“I will pay for the troops you send me”
“What kind of payment?”
“I have a lot of moneyA lot”
“Then why don’t you buy troops with your own money?”
“Thatis not that easyTo be honest, even if I have the money, I can’t win this war”
There must be a reason for this
Otherwise, the equation of [Money = troops] should have workedLike the politician and father of the Latin language, Cicero said ‘A War’s never-ending engine is the infinite fund’
“So, you will give me money if I send the troops?”
“Yes, please”
“Fearless, you are”
“……?”
“There is al me to welcome my troops to your landI don’t knohy you would say that in this kind of situation”
“What… do you mean?”
“A bloodless victory, and betrayal”
“…!”
“It’s only going to take about 30 et to the headquartersThen your head will be paraded on top of the castle wall and I will take your land as a wholeNo after over you and me, so there is no need to make a valid reason for it, don’t you think?”
“How can you be so cruel…!”
“Don’t act naïveA lord’s enemy is a lordYou can always be betrayed by the one that you believed the mostThat is a lord”
His words were harsh but rightWhat would you do about it? That was the life of a lord
“Areyou going to do so? Will you pretend to helpthat I have?”
Her voice tre these words was so pitiful that most of the men would beco Chul In was not one of those men
“……!”
“But… I would look over this if that person is the one who helped a clueless newbie”
He thought of the old days with Lee Chae Rin
There was one wo for a hue, psychotic bastard bossIt was over 10 years ago, but thinking about it, he had so to Lee Chae Rin
“So… Will you send the troops?”
She asked as if she was hanging from a cliff
“Of course not”
He still had no intention of sending the troopsHe had his own problems
Laputa’s army was only about 100 menHe had no treasury to back him up to buy units or expand the land
What if he landed the troops and other lords attacked?
Thanks to the dragon-safe buff, there on, but what if another kind of monster attacked?
“Then… That will not happenI understand nowHow you feel”
/p>
“Understand what?”
“Aren’t you saying that you will not send me troops? I need those troopsIf you can’t send me them, then I have no business with you anymoreHuh… It is my faultI tried to lean on youI’ side of me…”
Her tears dropped as she spoke those wordsThe tears looked frozen after being swept by the cold winter night’s breeze
“Too fastIt is too soon”
He spoke
“Whatdo you mean?”
“Don’t you think that there is a way, even if I did not send you those troops?”
“……!”
Lee Chae Rin lights up as she was the slight chance of hope
