When Phyllis successfully met Richard, it was already the third day he came to Nord City. After arriving in Nord City, he immediately came to the Palace of Ippolito as the heir of the Cypress Kingdom. Asked to meet Richard. Although there was no immediate response after the request was made, he and his entourage were properly placed in a hotel in the city, waiting for the palace's reply.

After waiting in the hotel for three restless days, his request was approved. The palace director from the Palace of Hipolito brought him a brand new luxurious costume. When he changed it, he took him into the carriage and drove. After entering the palace, he was finally able to enter Richard's study after several inspections.

The famous King Richard of the Valdasia Peninsula sat in front of him to deal with government affairs. Phyllis suddenly felt a little short of breath. His childhood dream was to become like Richard's king who would make the kingdom sweep the nations. As he grew older, he became more aware of the strength of his country, and he gradually broke off this naive idea. On the Ossa Peninsula, only the kitty city-state a hundred years ago can sweep the nations with its own power, but this is only for a while. When countries unite to contend with it, there is not enough logistical support. Kitty city-state was finally defeated, and now hundreds of years have passed, and they can only linger on the small town with only a few thousand permanent residents.

Just when Phyllis was in a daze, Richard, who was sitting in front of him, closed the scroll in his hand and put it aside. Looking at the young prince in exile, he couldn't help but remember that he had just traveled more than ten years ago. When he arrived in this world, he was in the same situation as Phyllis, except that he had the assistance of the full-scale war system, and Phyllis could only go to various countries to seek assistance for the restoration of the country.

"Prince Phyllis, I have heard about what happened in your country, and I can only express my sympathy for that." Richard opened his mouth to break the silence of the air. He folded his hands and pressed his chin, and then said: "However, I think even if you come here, I'm afraid I can't provide any help."

Richard's words brought Felice back to reality. He heard the words and quickly said: "Your Majesty the King, your army has swept across the countries of the Valdasia Peninsula. It is the most powerful army known in the world. I believe that as long as You are willing to send troops to help me recover the kingdom. Those hypocritical people who talk about democracy and freedom will only tremble under the iron hoof of your army."

"What you said is the truth." Richard smiled slightly, and then he turned around and said: "Give me a reason to send troops. You are also a wise man. Without adequate reasons, I cannot let my army. Cross the sea and fight in a place far from the land."

"Your Majesty the King, there are a lot of iron and copper mines on the Osa Peninsula. Iron and copper are indispensable if you want to develop a strong army. As long as your army crosses the sea, none of the weak nations is Your opponents, iron ore and copper ore, are not there yet?

What's more, your country has always been a big attacking country of saltpeter. The major powers on the Ossa Peninsula rely on monopolizing the saltpeter trade with your country to make huge profits. If you are willing to send troops, you can take the opportunity to seize the production area of ​​saltpeter... …"

What Phyllis said was the fact that despite having such a large territory, the gunpowder consumed by the army is still not self-sufficient. The gunpowder refreshed every day is not enough, so it can only rely on imported saltpeter and sulfur to make gunpowder. Fortunately, no one paid special attention to the goods imported by the Winsters, otherwise they would be suspicious because of the large quantities of saltpeter and sulfur imported by the Winsters.

Moreover, the Osa Peninsula is not only the main importer of saltpeter, it can also provide a certain amount of sulphur trade for the Kingdom of Winster, thanks to an active volcano in its interior.

Listening to what Phyllis said, Richard felt that there was some truth. Importing saltpeter and sulfur from the Osa Peninsula every month is a huge expense. If you can directly control the production area in your own hands, then Wouldn't unnecessary expenses be avoided?

Thinking of this, Richard nodded. He glanced at Phyllis who was still talking and listened patiently. After he finished speaking, Richard pretended to think for a while before he said: "Philip Prince Liss, all the things you just said need to be captured by our army, and you just have to wait. This is really unfair, so I think ~lightnovelpub.net~ you also need to pay something."

"This..." Phyllis hesitated for a moment before saying: "If you can help me regain my country, my descendants and I are willing to become vassals of the Winster Kingdom forever. When attacking, assist your army to fight back against the enemy."

Richard's answer to this can be said to be expected. If there is nothing like Phyllis, he can only be a vassal. It just so happens that Richard likes to accept dogs, so he agreed Down.

Seeing Richard's promise, Prince Phyllis was overjoyed, and he quickly got down on his knees and expressed his gratitude again and again. Richard waved his hand and said, "It takes time for the army to assemble. During the time the assembly is complete, you will stay and wait. Bar."

Phyllis quickly agreed, and the two talked for a while, and Richard found an excuse to let Phyllis leave first.

Richard did not dare to take the enemy too lightly, but he also wanted to test the use of gunpowder weapons in the army. Therefore, in addition to mobilizing the veterans of the First Corps, he will also add a firearms battalion of the Musketeer Brigade. Expeditionary army sequence. If the firearms battalion performed well in this war, then he would invest more money to recruit more musket soldiers.

In addition to the army, the navy also needs attention. The peoples of the Ossa Peninsula are mostly known for their sailing. They sailed around and built colonies like the Greeks on the earth. Even the southern part of the Vadassia Peninsula was once Ossa. Human colonies, but the colonists were finally driven off the sea by the indigenous people and forced to recognize their independence.

Therefore, Richard ordered the admiral Sigurd to lead the main force of the First Fleet along the Vadasiya peninsula, trying to reach the northernmost port city of Paisikia in the Derj region before the army is ready.
