When Edwin Lucas sided with Wellington, it basically meant that the plan was halfway through.
Leisente glanced at Wellington, gritted his teeth, and said, "I oppose this plan. This rogue behavior is really damaging to our country's national system. We will become a laughing stock on the mainland."
His words were actually agreed upon by most of the ministers. While everyone was discussing it, most of them nodded, agreeing with Lei Sente's opinion.
Edwin looked at Fox, who glanced at everyone and said, "I agree with the Duke of Wellington. In extraordinary times we must do extraordinary things. In this situation, we have no choice.
As long as we can continue to survive on the mainland, even if we are ridiculed, it doesn’t matter. Sooner or later, we will regain our dignity and honor in other things.”
Two of the three dukes had already agreed to the plan, and with the king himself, the plan had basically become a done deal.
The ministers below the stairs looked at each other, sighed, and finally agreed. The entire hall reached a consensus. Everyone agreed to play rogue this time and force the Ikasi Empire to form an alliance with them.
Seeing the resolution passed, a smile appeared on Edwin Lucas' face.
In fact, he, Wellington and Fox had already made the decision in private, and what they were doing now was just trying to suppress the voices of opposition from the public.
After all, before a war, everyone must first work together. If the opinions and thoughts of everyone in their own hall cannot be unified, then the enthusiasm for preparing for war will also be affected, which will be very unfavorable for the war.
Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the details in the hall. Seeing that it was almost decided, many ministers put down their burdens and began to actively contribute their wisdom.
Time flies, and a month is soon up. After three meetings, Ye Li, Kai Diwen and the other two have gained a lot. Among all the parts of the Spirit Gathering Cannon, they have already understood nearly seventy parts.
Of course, these parts include the twenty or so parts that Ye Li fully understood at the beginning, as well as the five or six parts that Kai Diwen and the other two understood at the beginning.
During this month, Ye Li had absorbed all of the snowflakes that Edwin Lucas had rewarded him with. His realm had reached the peak level of the early Yuantai period. Ye Li estimated that if he could absorb so many more snowflakes, his strength would surely break through to the middle Yuantai period.
Count Philos, who had received his talisman before, did not send the alabaster stone and materials, but became silent after returning to his own territory.
Tunri would occasionally curse the other party in Ye Li's sea of consciousness. He believed that the other party must have deceived Ye Li.
Ye Li, on the contrary, was not worried about this, because he had seen clearly the look in Count Philos's eyes, and the other party's gratitude towards him was absolutely genuine. He would definitely find a way to get the snowflake stone and various materials.
Recently, the Farant Empire has forced Ikasi to join the alliance, and has joined forces with the barbarians to form a joint army with the Aina tribe of the barbarians to fight against the coalition forces of the Jinde Empire and the Quesat tribe.
The Jinde Empire is indeed extremely powerful. With the help of the Soul Gathering Cannon, their strength is even stronger than before. They can completely withstand the joint attack of the three families and not lose the upper hand at all.
The entire barbarian territory was in the midst of war, and a group of people were having a great time fighting each other.
However, the battle took place in someone else's territory after all, and the fog of war and death did not shroud the hearts of the people of the Farant Empire.
In the past two days, people in the imperial capital have been decorating with lights and colorful flags hung everywhere, creating a festive atmosphere.
The reason is simple, but because King Edwin Lucas, the ruler of the Farant Empire, wants to marry his daughter, the seventeenth princess Diana Lucas, to Jeffrey Evans, the youngest son of the Evans of the Axi family.
Evans himself is a marquis, and his son is the future heir to the marquisate, so it does not really bring shame to Princess Diana.
These changes made the Warner family feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately they are now very close to the Taylor family, and they barely do not lose to the Yaxi family in momentum.
The recent bustling scene in the imperial capital is naturally because a wedding is about to be held here, so every household is making preparations and everyone wants to share the joy together.
On this day, Ye Li was studying the blueprint at home when suddenly there was a knock on his door and Laurent's voice appeared outside the door.
"Sir, Lord Count Philos is here. He wants to meet you. I wonder if you are free." Laurent said.
Ye Li nodded and said, "I'm free now. Tell Earl Philos to wait for me. I'll be there soon."
Ye Li was also thinking about alabaster and various materials. When he heard Laurent suddenly tell him that Count Philos had arrived, he naturally became a little restless.
After quickly tidying up his clothes, Ye Li opened the door and strode towards the living room.
When Ye Li entered the reception room, Count Philos was pacing back and forth in the hall. When he saw Ye Li coming in, an excited look immediately appeared on his face.
"Master Ye, the talisman you designed for Lance is absolutely perfect. He can now walk freely outside.
I originally wanted to come here to see you and deliver your reward early in the morning, but I have been so busy lately that I have no time to spare, so I have been putting it off until now.
The reason I was able to return to the imperial capital this time was because Princess Diana was going to marry into the Axi family, otherwise I would not have been able to get away until now.
Master Ye, you must be waiting impatiently. I am really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. "
Ye Li waved his hand and said, "Count Firos, don't think too much. I know you didn't come not because you want to shirk your responsibility, but probably because the situation on the continent has changed dramatically recently."
Philos nodded and said, “Master Ye is right, everything we have done recently is to prepare for war.
I really didn't expect that in the originally peaceful environment, there would be undercurrents. This time, entering the war with the barbarians was something that happened completely unprepared.
All of us nobles who have fiefs outside the country have been ordered by His Majesty the King to recruit soldiers, so we must send an elite force over within a certain period of time."
Hearing what Philos said, Ye Li couldn't help but shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect the situation to change so dramatically. It's only been a short time and the war has already started."
