Within Sorda City, following Count Sorda's banquet, the surroundings became more and more lively.
Many Knights walked into Sorda City and were invited by Count Sorda to participate in this banquet.
There was no doubt that this banquet had attracted the attention of many people, and many people had turned their attention to this place.
At the banquet, Chen Heng sat at the main seat and looked down.
Around him, there were various people sitting there, and there were ten or so of them.
These were the rulers of the northern side, and they were the most prestigious group of people in the northern side.
Adding these people together, they were the entire northern side's power.
Usually, these people would stay in their own territories, and it was almost impossible for them to gather together at the same time.
However, Chen Heng had gathered all of them here to participate in this banquet.
This showed just how much power and prestige Chen Heng had among the northern rulers.
"Count Sorda, are you preparing to send out an army to fight for Her Majesty?"
An elder could not help but ask as he looked at Chen Heng.
Hearing this, apart from people like Krudo who already knew about this, everyone else looked up at Chen Heng.
Sensing everyone's gazes, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he smiled, "That's right.
"No matter what, Her Majesty is Her Majesty. Since there are orders, we naturally have to follow them.
I'm sure it's not just me; everyone here has received news from Her Majesty, right? "
He turned around, looked down, and said with a smile.
Hearing his words, everyone else's expressions did not change.
Just like Chen Heng, they had also received orders from Olivia's people.
However, their reactions were all the same: they all ignored Olivia's orders and chose to sit by and watch.
Within the Kutu Principality, the northern rulers were an independent group. Not only were they ostracized by the other nobles, but they also had their own circle.
They did not like Olivia to begin with, and with the current situation, it was uncertain if Olivia would be able to safely get through this.
In the current situation, they all chose to watch from the sidelines, ignoring the emissary and orders that Olivia had sent.
They had never thought that even though they had chosen to ignore Olivia's orders, Chen Heng would summon them here.
Could it be that he really wanted to follow Olivia's orders and fight against the rebel army?
What good would that do him?
"I don't want to lie to everyone."
Sitting at the main seat, Chen Heng smiled and said, "I've decided to send out 5,000 people to help Her Majesty."
"This time, I have gathered everyone in the hope that everyone will send out an army and set off with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people below looked at each other.
Not only did he want to send out his own army, but he also wanted to drag them down with him …
This was really …
If it wasn't for the fact that the person sitting in front of them was Count Nardo, the most powerful person in the Northern Lands, they would have already left.
"Your Excellency …"
After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke.
"Saving Her Majesty is indeed a good thing."
He frowned as he looked at Chen Heng, "But we have to be responsible for defending the territory, this is …"
"Of course it's important to guard the territory, but with the current situation, transferring some guards won't affect anything for now."
Chen Heng said calmly, "Moreover, supporting Her Majesty is beneficial to us."
"Benefits?"
The people below all felt quite surprised, "What benefits?"
"Territory, slaves, wealth …"
Chen Heng's expression was calm as he said, "As long as we can defeat the rebel army, we can take those things from them.
I trust that Her Majesty will not be stingy and will generously give us the rebel army's territory. She will not let us, who have helped surround Her Majesty, suffer losses for nothing. "
Territory, slaves, wealth …
Hearing this, the crowd finally understood.
So this was what Count Nardo was thinking.
He did not really want to support Olivia; he just wanted to keep an eye on the rebel army's territory.
Realizing this, they could not help but inwardly let out sighs of relief.
Count Nardo's wife was Olivia's little sister, and he had a close relationship with the royal family.
They had been afraid that Count Nardo would send out an army because of this, and he might even drag them down with him.
With Count Nardo's status and power in the Northern Lands, if he asked these rulers to send out an army, they would not be able to refuse.
Of course, it would be easy to refuse, but who knew if Count Nardo would take revenge in the future?
In the past, there had been rulers who had not been on good terms with Count Nardo.
However, those people had all died pitifully, and the owner of their territory had been replaced by someone close to Count Nardo.
As someone from the northern side, everyone knew just how powerful Earl Nardo was.
As such, they could not help but inwardly let out sighs of relief.
However, if this Earl Nardo was not hot-headed and wanted to serve the royal family, that would be for the best.
"The rebel army's territory?"
Thinking to Chen Heng's words, the northern rulers could not help but feel a wave of desire.
In the Northern Lands, no one desired territory in the Southern Lands more than the northern rulers.
Compared to the Northern Lands, the Southern Lands were more peaceful and had a warmer climate. They had many people and were incredibly prosperous.
If they could obtain a territory in the Southern Lands, that would be a great temptation to them.
Thinking about that, they could not help but feel their hearts burn with desire, and they began to waver.
It was just that at that moment, someone asked a question.
"If it's just fighting the rebel army, it's not a problem."
Someone frowned and said, "But how do we deal with the logistics along the way?"
That's right …
Hearing this, everyone came to a realization.
If there were enough benefits and rewards, fighting the rebel army would not be a problem.
After all, as the northern rulers, they had to fight day and night.
However, logistics was a big problem.
People had to eat, and it was fine for a small number of people. However, for an army of thousands or even tens of thousands of people, supplies were a big problem.
Moreover, the rebel army was located quite far away from the Northern Lands.
With such a long battle line, it would not be realistic for them to provide all of their own supplies.
When that time came, with their pitiful resources, they would not be able to last for long.
However, this was not a bad solution.
"What are you afraid of?"
Someone sneered, "At most, we can just rob them on the spot."
"We're helping His Majesty fight; is there a problem with taking some food?"
