Iron Stone City hired 2,000 mercenaries to head to Iron Valley.
Leech's first thought was of the oil in Iron Valley.
'Did Baron Spark find out about the oil too?'
He didn't think Baron Spark was a warmonger, but he knew the Baron loved to mine. A single iron mine had given Iron Stone City enough money to squander, turning it into a haven of indulgence. If he found out about the oil in Iron Valley, there was no way he wouldn't try to seize it.
The news might have been leaked by Deni, who was likely trying to profit from both sides.
But it was more likely one of Deni's subordinates.
'This is going to be a problem.'
Before anyone knew about Iron Valley's resources, Leech could have "generously" taken it off their hands. But now, Iron Valley was likely to become a hot commodity.
It wasn't just Iron Stone City; he was about to face a lot of competitors.
'I can only hope their target isn't the oil.'
