Titled Sword Immortal of Douluo

None of these nobles spoke and remained silent.

King Balak looked at the Marquis Yu with calm eyes and spoke slowly. There was no emotion or anger in his voice, and said: "Marquis Yu, not long after you left the Kingdom of Silswei, something like this happened. It is inevitable that you will not let him go." People are suspicious of you."

After hearing these words, the anger on Marquis Yu's face became even more intense, but he suppressed it forcefully and did not burst out. However, his anger could still be detected from his heavier breathing.

Marquis Yu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the war is about to break out. At this critical moment, what we need to do is trust each other, and we must not destroy it because of some unconfirmed rumors. It affects our relationship. This is extremely detrimental to both of us!"

King Barak frowned slightly, looked at the Marquis, and said with some dissatisfaction in his tone: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Marquis Yu shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "I just expressed my own opinion. It is up to Your Highness to make your own decision."

King Balak snorted coldly and did not reply. Instead, he opened the secret letter in front of everyone and read it.

The contents of the secret letter were basically the same as those given to King Silvis. The main content was that King Barak had come to ask for troops and food. He needed the Kingdom of Barak to send troops and stones of food and grass. He must leave for heaven as soon as possible. Within the Dou Empire.

After King Balak read the secret message, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he handed the secret message to his attendants, who then passed it on to the other nobles present for viewing.

Marquis Yu just looked at this with angry eyes, did not stop him or said anything more, but quietly waited for the other party's answer.

After all, we were on the other side's territory now. Before he knew the other side's specific thoughts, Marquis Yu did not interrupt. Even though the other side would not kill him in public, it was still better to be careful.

Seeing that all twenty of his nobles had finished reading, King Balak slowly said, "Everyone, tell me, should I send troops?"

One of the marquises, who was about forty years old, took a step forward, saluted, and said: "Your Highness, after all, this is a secret message from Emperor Xue Ye, so we still have to send troops.

But the southern territory of our Balak Kingdom is adjacent to the Star Luo Empire. We have to guard against the Star Luo Empire's attack, so I'm afraid we can't send so many soldiers.

In my opinion, we still have at most soldiers and shi of food that can be used to support the empire. "

As soon as the man finished speaking, another Marquis of similar age also took a step forward. He first saluted King Barak, who came first, and shook his head and said: "Brother Sun, what you said is wrong. Soldiers cannot fight all the time. , also needs rest.

The war is coming, and the defense must send more manpower. Based on this calculation, we only have troops and shi of food that can be sent to support the empire. "

As soon as this person finished speaking, another person stood up and said: "Brother Zhou, you have a very good idea. Our current troops and horses are enough to defend the city. How can we still have spare troops to send?" To support the empire?”

After this person finished speaking, another person stood up and said: "Brother Li, what you said is wrong. I heard that the Star Luo Empire has gathered a million troops. We can't defend it with more than soldiers in our hands." Such a big border.

In my opinion, we still need to ask Emperor Xueye for troops and stones of food and grass to guard the southern border. "

Another person said: "Brother Deng, you think so well when you say this. How can the Star Luo Empire only have one million troops? Secretly, they must still have troops. I think even if Emperor Xue Ye supports us with troops, It’s not enough, at least one hundred thousand is needed!”

Marquis Yu looked at the people in the field quietly, and then reduced the number of troops sent from ten thousand to five thousand, and then refused to give them at all. Finally, he turned around and asked Emperor Xue Ye for soldiers and food, first fifty thousand, and then again. One hundred thousand, the more you want, the more you want.

Marquis Yu quietly watched these people pretending to him, but he did not speak. The words of these people could only be regarded as suggestions. The final decision was made by King Barak.

King Balak frowned slightly when he saw the people arguing below, and scolded softly, "Quiet."

Immediately, the quarreling nobles shut their mouths, took a step back, and returned to their positions, and the palace suddenly became quiet.

King Balak turned his attention to the Marquis Yu standing in the middle, sighed softly, and said: "Marquis Yu, you have also heard that now is the time when our Kingdom of Balak needs soldiers and horses. I am afraid there are no extra soldiers. The horse can be sent to attack His Majesty.

The Southern Star Luo Empire was extremely ambitious, and they must have gathered more than a million troops. And our Balak Kingdom is the first line of defense for the empire and the Star Luo Empire. Our current troops are definitely not enough. I wonder if Marquis Yu can help me bring a letter to His Majesty, asking him to send troops to support us? "

Although King Balak said it more euphemistically, he also made his position clear. He would not send troops and even wanted Emperor Xue Ye to send troops to support them.

The Marquis Yu was quite surprised that King Barak said such a thing, "I'm here to ask for someone!" I’m not here to give you a gift!

Although what King Barak said made sense, this was not the case.

After all, the border between the Tiandou Empire and the Star Luo Empire is not only the Balak Kingdom. Except for the Star Dou Forest in the middle, the Tian Dou Empire also borders the Star Luo Empire in the east of the continent, and at the border between the two countries in that place, It is exactly where the Wuhun Palace is located, and the area of ​​that place is no smaller than here.

Now the two empires are joining forces to besiege the Wuhun Palace. Even after the Wuhun Palace is destroyed, if the two empires want to go to war, the war will start in the east.

If the Star Luo Empire wanted to start a war on two fronts, it would take time to start the war from the border of the Balak Kingdom in the west. The Balak Kingdom only needed to defend the city for a few days and wait for the support of the Tiandou Empire.

Moreover, even if you don’t want to send people, you can still support some food and grass, right?

You don't give me anything and you still want it. Could it be that there is something wrong in your heart?

Although he was complaining madly in his heart, the Marquis Yu did not show it. The Marquis Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Of course I can help His Royal Highness deliver the message, but I can't come back empty-handed this time, right?

Your Highness, why don't you let me take away ten thousand stones of food and grass to support Your Majesty? Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to do business! "

King Barak showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, why: "Marquis Yu, you also know the situation of our Kingdom of Barak. Our current food reserves can only barely be enough for the army, and there is no extra food to support your majesty.

I also hope that your majesty can support me with more troops, horses and food! You are making this difficult for me! "
