Chapter 255: decline

None of these nobles spoke and remained silent.
King Barak looked at the Marquis with calm eyes and spoke slowly. He could not hear the joy or anger in his voice. He said: "Marquis, you just left the Kingdom of Sil thinking, something like this happened soon. People suspect you."
Hearing this, the anger on the face of the Yu Marquis grew a little bit more, but he was forcibly suppressed and did not burst out, but his anger could still be detected from the sound of his breathing that became a little heavy.
The Marquis took a few deep breaths, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness, war is about to break out. At this critical moment, all we need to do is to trust each other, and we must not destroy it because of unproven rumors. The relationship between us. This is extremely detrimental to both of us!"
King Barak frowned slightly, looking at the royal marquis, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The Yu Marquis shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "I just told my own opinion. What is more, the Royal Highness has to make his own decision."
King Barak snorted and did not reply, but opened the secret letter in front of everyone and read it.
The content of the secret letter is basically the same as that for King Silves. The main content is to come to King Barak for soldiers and food. The Kingdom of Barak needs to send 30,000 soldiers and 30,000 stones for food and grass, and set off as soon as possible. Within the Dou Empire.
After King Barak read the secret letter, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he handed the secret letter to the attendant, who then passed it to the rest of the nobles present to watch.
Yu Marquis just looked at this with angry eyes, did not stop or say anything, but quietly waited for the answer from the other party.
After all, he was in the opponent's territory. Before he knew the opponent's specific thoughts, the Marquis did not interject. Even if the opponent would not kill himself in public, it is better to be careful.
King Barak saw that his twenty-odd nobles had finished watching, and slowly said: "Everyone, do you think I should send soldiers?"
One of the marquis, who was about forty years old, stepped forward and bowed, saying: "Your Highness, after all, this is a secret letter from the Great Xueye, we still have to send soldiers.
But the southern border of my Barak Kingdom is adjacent to the Star Luo Empire. We must guard against the attacks of the Star Luo Empire. I'm afraid we can't send so many soldiers.
In my opinion, we still have up to 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 stones of grain to support the empire. "
As soon as this person finished speaking, another Marquis of the same age also took a step forward. First, he saluted the first King Barak, shook his head and said, "Brother Sun said that this is bad. Soldiers can't fight all the time. , Also need to rest.
The war is approaching, the defense will have to send more manpower. In this way, we only have five thousand soldiers and horses, and ten thousand stones of grain can be sent to support the empire. "
As soon as this person's voice fell, another person stood up and said, "Brother Zhou, you are thinking too well. Our current supplies of soldiers and horses are enough for us to defend the city. Where can we send free soldiers and horses? To support the empire?"
This person's words fell, and another person stood up and said, "Brother Li, what you said is not right. I heard that the Star Luo Empire has gathered a million masters, and we can't keep up with the more than 100,000 soldiers in our hands. Such a big border.
In my opinion, we still need to ask the emperor Xue Ye for 50,000 soldiers and horses, and 100,000 shi for food and grass, in order to guard the southern border. "
Another humane said: "Brother Deng, you thought so well when you said this. How could the Star Luo Empire only have a million heroes? Secretly, they must have soldiers and horses. I think even if Emperor Xueye supports us with 50,000 soldiers and horses. Not enough, at least one hundred thousand!"
The Yu Marquis quietly looked at these people in the field, reducing the number of troops sent from 10,000 to 5,000, and then simply not giving them, and finally asked Emperor Xueye for his soldiers for food, first 50,000, and then again. One hundred thousand, the more you want, the more.
The royal marquis quietly watched these people pretending to show him, but he did not speak, these people's words can only be regarded as proposals, and the final decision was made by King Barak.
King Barak frowned slightly when he saw the quarreling people below, and he whispered, "Be quiet."
Suddenly, those quarreling nobles suddenly closed their mouths, took a step back, and returned to their positions, and the palace fell silent.
King Barak cast his gaze on the Marquis standing in the middle, sighed softly, and said: "Marquis, you have also heard it. Now my kingdom of Barak is also in need of soldiers and horses, I am afraid there are no extra soldiers. The horse can be sent to attack your Majesty's drive.
The Southern Star Luo Empire's wolf ambition, they must have gathered more than one million soldiers and horses. And my Barak Kingdom is the first line of defense between the Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Our current soldiers and horses are definitely not enough. I wonder if the royal marquis can bring me a letter to your majesty, so that he can send troops to support us? "
Although King Barak said more euphemistically, it also showed his position, not to send soldiers, and even wanted Emperor Xue Ye to send soldiers to support them.
The Royal Marquis was quite surprised when King Barak said such words. I'm here to ask for someone! I'm not here to give you away!
Although what King Barak said is very reasonable, this is not the case.
After all, the boundary between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire is not only the Barak Kingdom. Remove the Star Dou Great Forest between them. The Heaven Dou Empire on the east side of the continent also borders the Star Luo Empire, and at the border between the two countries, It was exactly where the Spirit Hall was located, and at the same time the scope of that area was not smaller than this one.
Now the two empires have joined forces to besiege the Hall of Souls. Even if the Hall of Souls is eliminated, the two empires will go to war first.
If the Star Luo Empire wants to start a war on two fronts, starting from the border of the Western Barak Kingdom, it will also take time. The Barak Kingdom only needs to defend the city for a few days before it can wait for the support of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Moreover, even if you don't want to send people, you can support some food, right?
You don't give anything, you still want it, is it a ghost in your heart?
Although I was frantically complaining in my heart, the Yu Marquis did not realize it. The Yu Marquis frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Here is naturally to help His Royal Highness deliver the letter. It's just that I can't leave empty-handed when I come here this time?
Your Highness might as well let me take away 10,000 stones, food and grass to support Your Majesty? Otherwise I won't have a good relationship! "
King Barak showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, embarrassed: "Marquis, you know the situation of my Barak Kingdom, 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 give me more support for soldiers, horses and food! You make me very embarrassed! "
