The military affairs were basically settled. Bennett and his son happened to have cavalry training skills, so they could train Li Huailin's cavalry. Next up was the foreign affairs.
"My Lord." Gwenis stood up and reported to Li Huailin, "The elves have paid the first phase of war reparations. They paid very quickly, and according to the news, the elves seem to be very obedient to My Lord. They don't seem to have any intention of revenge. It seems that there is no possibility of another conflict between us and the elves."
"Also, the orcs have officially launched a raid on the elves. Although it is not an official declaration of war, the raid this time is unusually fierce, and there are a lot more people than in previous years. As the main force of the elves, the Silverwind Guards have been completely wiped out by My Lord, and the second and third legions are having a hard time resisting. They have been forced to give up some small villages and retreat to the big cities to defend," Gwenis continued.
"This is not good …" Li Huailin said after some thought. If the lips were gone, the teeth would be interdependent. If the orcs really defeated the elves, their strength would definitely skyrocket, which would not be good news for the humans. Now that the elves were facing the invasion of the orcs, it would lead to an all-out war. However, as an ally of the orcs, the humans would also participate in the war … The Demons would also participate in the war. This would really be the start of a world war.
"Did the elves ask for reinforcements from the humans?" Li Huailin asked.
"Not at the moment." Gwenis said, "But they have requested for food and weapons, and His Royal Highness has agreed. The first batch of aid has been sent to them."
"Damn, they are actually taking things for free …" Li Huailin said.
"My Lord, it is not like that. The elves are indeed lacking in food. A large portion of our two cities have been sold to the elves by the Dean Trade Association." Finance Minister Oliveira interrupted.
"It seems that the elves have no time to collect food due to the continuous battles. They can't hold on any longer," Li Huailin said. "Alright, sell it there. Try to sell it at a higher price."
"The De 'an Trade Association will never suffer a loss," Oliveira said.
"Continue to monitor the situation in this regard." Li Huailin turned to Gwenis and instructed, "Is there anything else?"
"A few days ago, King Skender of Krajal submitted to the Duke, expressing his wish to receive our protection," Gwenis said.
"Clavai? Where is it? "Li Huailin asked.
"It's a small country dominated by Gnomes. It's very small, with a population of only ten thousand," Gwenis said.
"Does it share a border with us?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, just to the west of Camelot," said Gwyneth.
"Shouldn't you be discussing this with Anthony?" Li Huailin asked.
"My Lord, a small country like this isn't high enough to discuss it with the King. To be honest, you're overestimating them. Their entire country only has a population of ten thousand. Even a small city lord would have more citizens than them," Gwenis said.
"If that's the case, did they submit to us?" Li Huailin asked.
"They're willing to pay ten thousand gold coins a year," Gwenis said.
"F * ck, only ten thousand?" Li Huailin exclaimed. He could earn ten thousand gold coins a month with his small shop.
"My Lord, it's already a lot for them to give us ten thousand gold coins. According to their finances last year, it's already 19% of their income …" Oliveira said.
"They're so poor that I can't even be bothered with them," Li Huailin waved his hand. "Alright, if they want to give it to us, let them."
"My Lord, their king said that in order to deepen the friendship between both sides, they're willing to offer their most beautiful princess, Princess Sainia, to you as a concubine," Gwenis said.
"F * ck, what the hell is going on?" Li Huailin thought about the most beautiful princess of the Goblins, and his ass tightened. "No, I'll take the money, but I don't want her. Send her wherever he wants, don't leave her here."
"Alright, I understand. I'll answer Skender's King like this." Gwenis nodded. "But when the peace treaty is signed, my Lord still has to be present."
"I understand. Isn't it just signing? You guys have drafted the treaty, and I'll just sign it," Li Huailin said. "Is there anything else?"
The few of them looked at each other, but it seemed like there was nothing else.
"Alright, there's been a lot going on lately. Everyone, work hard. Legg, especially you, you have to pay close attention to the military training," Li Huailin instructed.
Hearing Li Huailin's words, the four of them felt that Li Huailin was indicating that there was going to be a war soon. Since the Lord had already hinted to this extent, they would be stupid if they didn't think about it. However, they didn't know who they were going to fight, and they couldn't think of anything. They didn't ask much, and could only work hard in this area.
"Alright, that's all for now. Let's adjourn," Li Huailin said.
"My Lord, please wait," Oliveira said. "My Lord, are you going out?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's like this. Madam isn't here now, and my Lord is going out too. If something big happens, who should we listen to?" Oliveira asked.
"Oh, I see …" Li Huailin thought for a moment. "If something big happens, the four of you discuss it together. If there's a disagreement, then listen to … Oliveira."
"Listen to me?" Oliveira asked in surprise.
"Yes, money is more important. I'll listen to you," Li Huailin said. "Alright, I'll go out first."
"Yes …" the four of them said in unison.
The territory was now rich in funds, so it was more convenient to do everything. With four reliable subordinates watching over him, Li Huailin decided on a general direction. After arranging everything, it was almost night, and Li Huailin was ready to explore the ruins.
At seven o 'clock in the evening, the team of five jokers gathered at the entrance of the main city's arena. There were fewer people there when there was no competition, so it was easier to gather.
This time, Li Huailin was the first to arrive. As he had nothing to do after finishing his business in the territory, he came early. When he arrived, he realized that he was indeed a little early.
After waiting for about fifteen minutes, the second person finally arrived. Uncharacteristically, he was the last to arrive, Jade Emperor Summoner.
"Just you?" Jade Emperor Summoner looked around and said.
"Yeah, why are you so early today?" After standing alone for such a long time, someone finally came. Li Huailin couldn't help but chat with him.
"I didn't calculate the potion dosage properly, so I returned a little early," Jade Emperor Summoner said. "It takes 1.34 million EXP to reach level 36 from level 35. How did you train? How did you level up so quickly? "
"You're a Healing Paladin, and you want to compete with me, a Warrior who puts all his points into Strength?" Li Huailin said. "Can't you try being an offensive Paladin? You can level up faster, and you're slightly better at PK. Look at Worlds Apart. "
"Worlds Apart is a monster …" Jade Emperor Summoner said. "I don't have that kind of skill. By the way, you're going to fight Worlds Apart tomorrow, right? Can you win?"
"If nothing goes wrong, there shouldn't be a problem." Li Huailin said. According to their previous contact, as long as the other party did not have any new skills, he should be able to win.
"That's right. You're even more of a monster than Worlds Apart." Jade Emperor Summoner nodded.
"Hey, hey, I'm a monster, okay? Please don't use the word 'monster', okay? "Li Huailin said.
"By the way, how did it go with your father-in-law? Did it work? "Jade Emperor Summoner suddenly asked.
"Ugh …" Li Huailin thought about it. Although the process was a bit tortuous, it seemed that he had completed Su Ximin's task. Now his father-in-law was busy with the company's affairs. It seemed that he didn't have time to say anything about their marriage. However, he didn't tell them not to see each other. It was probably a success.
"How should I put it? It should be okay. Although he did not agree, he did not object to it either," Li Huailin said after thinking about it.
"Then it's done. Congratulations," Jade Emperor Summoner said.
"What are you congratulating me for?" Feng Yiliu and Millennium Immutable asked at the same time.
"It seems that our Brother Awesome's father-in-law did not object to the two of them. Shouldn't we congratulate them?" Jade Emperor Summoner said.
"Indeed, we should congratulate them," Millennium Unchanged said. "Congratulations, congratulations."
"Congratulations," Feng Yiliu said.
"I'm a little embarrassed," Li Huailin said.
"By the way, Mr. Li asked me to tell you that you must participate in tomorrow's competition," Feng Yiliu said.
"I know. Tomorrow's competition, right? I will participate," Li Huailin said. "Okay, Anran is here too."
They turned around and saw Anran walking over slowly. Seeing them turn around, she nodded slightly and greeted them.
"How was the competition in the afternoon?" Jade Emperor Summoner walked over and asked.
"It's a new profession, so I'm not used to it. I lost," Anran said unhappily. "Do you want to eat lizard eyeball cake?"
"Why is there such strange food every time, and there is no repetition every time?" Jade Emperor Summoner complained.
"Calm down, we don't have much time. Let's go," Li Huailin said.
