Chapter 252 - 11: Ready to Strike (Part 2)_2
"Lord, do you mean to say that our Leon cannot survive or sustain itself?" His complexion changed slightly, but upon seeing the look in Komer’s eyes devoid of any disdain, the Half-Beastman couldn’t help but lower his head in thought before finally asking such a question.
"Yes, if Leon is in your hands, it won’t be able to hold on, but if it were the Homer Army that took over Leon, Leon could survive." Komer nodded indifferently without a hint of change in his tone.
"Oh, why? What’s the difference?" The Half-Beastman’s expression changed again, becoming somewhat unsightly.
"It’s quite simple, The Kingdom of Nicosia is a Mortal Country, and Leon is just a piece of land under a province of the kingdom. No one would tolerate such a regime. Although you have achieved temporary success, it will not last long; it may even be very short-lived. Perhaps Homer is preoccupied with other matters for the moment, but once those other issues are resolved, they will find time to deal with you. Furthermore, due to its unique geographical environment and soil conditions, Leon has an inherent fatal weakness. Military measures may not even be necessary—to simply block off Leon’s connection with the outside world would be enough. Without much delay, you would fall into a state of having no food to eat." Komer spoke with an unexpected gentleness, yet his words were profoundly cruel.
"Are you saying, Lord, that you too would cut off our food supply?" The Half-Beastman looked intently, staring at Komer’s face.
"Mr. Dragumo, please don’t look at me in that way. I’ve proven my stance through my actions. However, you should be aware that the Caucasus currently doesn’t produce enough food to even satisfy its own citizens. The food I provided for Leon until now has been brought back by sea through various means and then sent to Leon. Once Homer, or even the kingdom, completely blocks the sea routes of the Caucasus or restricts food input, what will I have to supply you with?" Komer spread his hands, appearing very sincere.
