The reason why the Baxter State only expanded to its current territory rather than continued expansion is also the reason why the powerful people opposed it.

As for why these powerful peoples have to oppose the powerful Garfield Chamber of Commerce, of course, it is not just that the honor of their nobles is so simple, but for their own interests.

In the castle council room at this moment, Kelwin faced the monarch's inquiry, and he said to Aubrey without hesitation: "Of course it is impossible to send an envoy."

Aubrey continued to ask, "Why?" He wanted to know the reason for the other party's opposition, could he really hold a grudge?

"You don't think about it. The first two Xia army obviously want to completely occupy this land, so how can they simply retreat?" Although Kerwin's tone made the powerful and nobles present feel unhappy, the reason has to be recognized.

The purpose of the Xia army is too conspicuous. Anyone who has paid attention to the dynamics of the Xia army knows that at least no one will pay attention to all the forces south of the Jiehe River.

Even ordinary civilians are paying attention to the dynamics of the Xia army. After all, Xia has had a record of driving out all foreigners in the occupied areas, and these civilians do not seem to be driven out of their homes.

"This..." Aubrey didn't know what to say at all. He had long been used to the other party's attitude. If he had been caring about these things all day, Aubrey would have been pissed to death. His father "died young" because he cared too much about the Garfield Chamber of Commerce.

Kerwin felt somewhat satisfied when he saw the monarch being stumped by his words, but before he could finish his words, he continued to preach: "Mr. Monarch, although the Chamber of Commerce has strong financial resources, it is actually useless in the face of the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops in Xia State."

Originally, Aubrey was about to ask for help from the Garfield Chamber of Commerce, but after hearing this, he asked in confusion: "How could it be? With the ability of the Chamber of Commerce, will the surrounding monarchies and territory come to support the support soon?"

"Sir, the other forces south of the Baron River, except for our Baxter Kingdom, are now only the eight viscounts in the southwest." Kelwin had not answered Aubrey's question, but his powerful men had already answered this.

After hearing this, Aubrey remembered that in just a few months, Xia Kingdom occupied most of the areas south of the Baron River (Border River).

However, Aubrey still did not give up hope. Although he, as a monarch, was better than being a prisoner at the bottom of the ranks.

Aubrey continued to ask unwillingly: "What about a little further? North of the Baron River... Forget it, I didn't ask this." But halfway through the question, Aubrey collapsed on the seat powerlessly.

The powerful people in the chamber saw that the originally anxious monarch suddenly calmed down. They knew what was going on, so they stopped talking. Even Kelvin, who had always been arrogant, didn't say much now.

Because the forces farther away are simply too late, and even if they are too late, there must be such a force.

South of the Border River, the United Bazi, which had just suffered a major blow, is now useless. Further away, there is only one place in a place of chaos.

As for the north of the Border River, due to its historical origin, the territories on both sides of the river do not have much exchanges, and some are only private trade. Even if it is private trade, people from both sides of the north and the south can't stand each other.

The reason for this situation is that Baxter's ancestors have been blamed for their ancestors. After the bridge bridge was repaired at a huge cost, a castle was built in the south of the bridge bridge in order to recover the losses or to make profits.

That is, the castle where Aubrey and his friends are now, its gate is built on the bridge, or in other words, this castle is part of this river-crossing bridge.

The construction of the Cross-River Bridge facilitates communication and communication between the two banks of the river, but Baxter's ancestors waited for this time - want to cross the bridge? Yes, as long as you pay a considerable toll, you can go to the bridge at will.

It was at this time that the Garfield Chamber of Commerce was born with the support of Baxter, and then it was the story of attracting wolves into the house, competing for power, and breaking up and reunion.

As for the territory north of the Border River, it can be said to be the center of this continent and the most prosperous area. There are more "hate, grudge, love and hatred" with the southern territories.

So when Aubrey talked about the forces north of the Border River, he suddenly woke up and calmed down because he knew that he could not count on those territories in the north at all.

Not knowing how long the venue was silent, Kelwin's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts: "It's not entirely impossible."

Hearing this, no matter Aubrey sitting on the throne or the other powerful people present, they all looked at Kerwin.

"No matter what, the people in the north must also know the power of Xia. If our Baxter country is occupied by Xia, the bridge will be controlled by Xia. By then, the northerners will definitely not be able to escape the attack of Xia's army."

"So, as long as we send envoys, we should be able to say that the northerners sent troops to support us." Finally, Kelwin gave his advice.

They didn't know the Xia Kingdom's plan to send troops, and they didn't know that Xia Kingdom just wanted to occupy the land south of the border river, and had not yet considered the place north of the border river.

"Agree!" "I agree!" "Entertainment should be sent to the north!"...

It is precisely because of this that Kelwin's words made everyone agree with it. Even the opponents whom they usually don't like gave up their usual prejudices at this time and all agreed with Kelwin's suggestions.

...

The messengers from the State of Baxter were sent out and received a good reply soon.

Sure enough, the lords north of the Border River are not only those who can only watch the fun, but also those who know that their lips and teeth are cold.

However, on the side of Xia, the enemy's intelligence had already been obtained, including the news that the country of Baxter had failed to send troops to attack and the withdrawal of the accidental attack, as well as the information that the forces in the north of Jiehe River were about to send troops to support it.

Although the territory in the north of the Border River is only a distance of a river from the Baxter Kingdom in the south, it is impossible to send troops immediately by saying that. These forces do not have a huge standing army like the Xia Kingdom, but they are dispatched in a short time.

Moreover, even the Xia army, from receiving intelligence, confirming intelligence, formulating combat plans and issuing troops, this cannot be completed in one or two days.
