Chapter 317: Winter King (Rex Hyemis) (5)
The Union State of Kalmar was up next after Teuton.
The Union State of Kalmar was located on the northern edge of the continent. Therefore, they were known as the Lions of the North. They were a nation of warriors that roared as they embraced the harsh cold and winters.
In the past, they used to go around on boats like Vikings and pillage various corners of the continent. Now, these brutal warriors succeeded in wrapping their combative spirits in a layer of refined leather. Their swords disappeared, but they instead became skilled at trade and commerce.
They were warriors and merchants at the same time. These two sides strangely coexisted within Kalmarians. Well, be it with swords or trading, they were still pillaging one way or another. It wasn’t that strange.
Kalmar’s ambassador spoke up.
“Count Palatine, the Republic has offered to lower their tariffs.”
It seems the Republic had already tossed out some bait.
“Lower their tariffs, huh……?”
