"With Barnes Village at such a disadvantage, isn't it obvious?" Viscount Lancelot admitted without hesitation.
"The people in my territory have already been siphoned away, there's nothing left of value. If you want to annex someone, you'd be better off with Ningshan Village. Ningshan Village thinks I have nothing left but an empty shell, so when war comes, they might not go all out. If you cooperate with me, the odds of counterattacking Ningshan Village are high—the value of Ningshan Village is much greater than mine." Viscount Robin, seeing Viscount Lancelot admit it, took the opportunity to stir things up.
Viscount Lancelot listened, arching his brows. The other side had at least some brains.
If Viscount Robin could always be this sharp, he wouldn't be in this situation now.
He might actually consider this possibility.
But it's not possible.
This isn't just about Glasgow Village, Barnes Village, and Ningshan Village, but also Hope Village.
