Chapter 693 - 371: The Law and The Church of the Blue Blood sponsorship with the Kingdom!_1
Lord Ivita furrowed his brows, he hadn’t expected to receive support from his own family, but it was indeed something he desperately needed at the moment.
But there was one issue, which was quite troubling.
It seemed that the support they were offering him came at a price. The challenge now lay in weighing the support from the Mango Tooth Family branch against the cost he’d have to pay if he was successful.
Lord Ivita thought for a moment and asked the envoys, "What would you require if I was to take over Cross Island?"
Returning the question was also a way of responding. It could help assess their intent and limitations.
The two envoys from the Mango Tooth family exchanged glances, then spoke to Ivita, "In our situation as a small nation, the most crucial thing is to ensure our homeland’s survival. Despite having vast ocean space, great kings and steadfast faith, the small size of our homeland makes us an easy target for powerful enemies to annihilate."
"Hence, Mango Tooth Kingdom always needs allies. Our recent ally, the Champagne and Cognac Kingdom, is suffering from internal heresy and turmoil, causing us to no longer rely on them. This has stirred nearby, seemingly historical friend Pearl Tooth Kingdom, as well as prompted the heretic state across the sea to harbor illicit designs on us."
The envoy bowed to Ivita, "Therefore, we need a true ally to replace our previous unstable one."
"If you can secure the kingdom in the Black Sea, perhaps you can ally with our kingdom and join the thirteenth holy war, deploying forces against the kingdom across the sea."
