"Okay, everyone knows everything, so it's time to invite our allies back. We have paid such a high price, and there must be some reward. Let's get what we want as soon as possible, and then leave this damn place. , is our wisest choice.”
"This place is not something we or the Republic are qualified to touch."
"The bloody fields and meat grinders of hundreds of millions of years should be left to those truly terrifying beings."
At this time, Marylandu seemed to have returned to his previous state, showing a bright smile and saying this.
A few minutes later, Upson was brought back again, looking at the twelve most important allies of the Lighthouse Nation in front of him with an anxious mood.
He also understands the situation of his allies. Although they are extremely powerful, he still maintains a considerable degree of awe for the Holy See and the Dark Parliament for some reason. He even maintains extreme awe when he comes to the East.
Otherwise, with their abilities, they would not allow the other party to develop their own power wantonly in this land.
This matter seemed to be a small matter, but it was very involved, and even involved two major camps. He was really afraid that if these people were unwilling to help, there would be no hope for the Lighthouse Country.
"Our allies, after our deliberations, we decided to fulfill our ancient covenant and help you drive away threats from the outside."
Maryland Du used the word "driving away" instead of "eliminating". Although it was just two words inserted directly, the meaning could not have been more obvious. It was a pity that the excited Apson did not understand the meaning.
He smiled excitedly and said quickly: "Thank you. Thank you for your willingness to help us. The Lighthouse Country will never forget your friendship."
"But..." It's just that what the other party wants is not friendship, but real benefits.
So here comes this sentence that makes Apperson stunned.
"But what?" Upson's heart tightened and he asked unconsciously.
"However, we need to pay a heavy price this time. If we do not do well, we will have to endure unimaginable pressure and may even be destroyed. Therefore, even though we are allies, I still have to put forward conditions."
Glancing at Apperson, Maryland Du said in a deep voice, as a leader and captain, he had to consider the only remaining members. When he came out with him, there were thousands of people. After the death, only the remaining members were left. The next eighteen most powerful.
Two hundred years passed, and there were only twelve left. The number was getting smaller and smaller, and he had to make considerations for them.
Since you have given something, you must get something in return.
"Please tell me." Upson's heart tightened, but he also knew that the other party had a covenant with this party, but if he wanted the other party to help, he had to pay something.
"We will triple the previous supply, and we will do this every year in the future. At a critical moment, we can no longer waste it aimlessly." Maryland Du put forward his own conditions.
This made Upson open his mouth, but he didn't dare to say anything for a long time. Upson didn't know what was supplied in the past, but as a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he knew that 15% of the annual military expenditure was He was sent here under a clever name.
For support, that is a terrifying number.
For this reason, the burden on the lighthouse country is extremely heavy, but now it has to be tripled? Will this be the case every year? Doesn’t that mean 45% of military expenditures have to be spent
This number is simply unbearable.
