The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

The curse was not without reason, because Lucat knew what this so-called "united front, joint operations" meant.

If the Yan Kingdom is defeated, then in the subsequent division of the Yan Kingdom's territory, this woman Isabella will definitely use the War in the South China Sea as a handle and demand the most fruits of victory as the biggest victim.

Even if his country made an effort, it would probably not gain any advantage. Moreover, in the next war, Lucat had reason to believe that the Sari Kingdom would let his country's fleet act as the vanguard.

After all, the Sardars have suffered a great loss in the South China Sea War, and they cannot say that they have not learned their lesson. Therefore, they will definitely choose a cautious and stable combat method this time, and the best way is naturally to let the fleets of other countries go first.

In this way, when the war breaks out, the first country to bear the brunt of the war with the Yan people will be their own country, and this is precisely the most terrifying thing.

That night more than two months ago, when Lucat saw the lights of warships that almost covered his entire vision on the vast ocean, he knew that the country was not only powerful but also mysterious.

Mystery brings unknown, and the unknown often makes people feel scared.

He didn't know much about Yan State, but he knew that the country had existed for a long time, at least thousands of years. It had a large population, vast and fertile land, and inexhaustible resources. Most importantly, their country had experienced many changes of dynasties.

And every change of dynasty was born after a cruel and bloody battle.

They constantly overthrew the previous dynasty and then established a new dynasty, then overthrew it again and rebuilt it again, becoming stronger and stronger through killing and destruction.

From Qian Kingdom to Yan Kingdom, and the changes in their foreign attitudes before and after, there is no doubt that the people of that land have now chosen and reshaped a new dynasty.

The Yan Dynasty had achieved impressive results in its first foreign war. They had expressed their attitude forcefully and firmly. So, in this situation, it was not a wise choice to still treat them as objects to be conquered, in Lucat's opinion.

Isabella naturally dared to do this because her country of Sarri was the overlord, but what could her own country use to conquer?

'Once the war starts, our country will have to pay a huge price!'

He was certain of this idea, and said to Figus with a serious expression:

"Your Majesty, forgive me for being blunt, but this is not a war of conquest that we can participate in. Today, the Yan Kingdom can be called a great power. Since the Sari Kingdom wants to compete with them, let them go. We cannot be controlled by them."

Upon hearing this, Figus frowned and said unhappily: "Lucart, why do you think so? Yan Country can be considered a big country, so what are we?"

"Although they won that battle, you have to know that it was because Clemento was arrogant and underestimated the enemy, and Yan Country had geographical advantages and made arrangements in advance, which led to the tragic defeat. If they had fought head-on from the beginning, they might not have been defeated by the Yan people."

Lucat sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you being arrogant and underestimating the enemy now?"

"Lucat, watch your words!" Figus narrowed his eyes and shouted with a stern face.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I take back what I just said." Lukat apologized, and then said, "But you have to know that there are not so many assumptions. A battle is over after it ends. We can only reflect on why we failed and pay more attention to the enemy."

Upon hearing this, Figus' face suddenly turned red. He glared at Lucat and said:

“Isn’t this important enough?”

"You know, there has never been such a thing as a united front before! And this time, the Yan Kingdom has brought us together like never before. If this isn't called respect, then what is respect?"

"They just won a battle, but you make it sound like they are invincible! Do you really think they are a hegemon like the Sari Kingdom?"

"Oh, Lucat, look at what you said, reflect... reflect..." Figus shook his head.

"But your majesty, you have to know..." Lucat was about to continue his argument, but was interrupted by Figus:

"Lucart, I know everything."

"This time, the Sa Ri Kingdom is taking the Yan Kingdom so seriously that they will send a powerful fleet to attack. This is different from the last time. The Yan Kingdom's navy will be crushed by countless warships and artillery."

"As long as we destroy their coastal defenses, when we set foot on that land, what awaits us will be endless land and cheap labor, which will benefit our country infinitely and make it even richer."

"I think you should understand this." He looked at Lucat deeply.

Lucat sighed in his heart.

Is it really the endless land and the Yan people who can be commanded that are waiting for us?

But these Yan people are not the Nino people on the Feni continent. In addition to their unknown naval power, they also have an army that has not been revealed until now.

For a country that has experienced many changes of dynasties and constantly gave birth to new dynasties through fighting, they must have rich experience in land combat, and the navy may still be their weak point.

Everyone knows how vast the land of Yan State is. So even if we defeat their navy and successfully land on land, continuing to fight them in this vast area will undoubtedly be long and arduous.

If the Yan people were a weak nation, perhaps a few victories could make them surrender, making subsequent wars easier and quicker. However, judging from their performance in the South China Sea War, their rulers have been tough enough, so this new dynasty will naturally give every citizen a strong backbone.

All these meant that the war was destined to be long, arduous, difficult and dangerous.

The consequence of continuously sending troops to the battlefield is that the State of Seonglu will become weak, and if it still cannot win, then it will be over.

Not to mention becoming rich, we may even regress by several decades.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Lucat became. So he looked at Figus and said seriously:

"Your Majesty, you are right."

"But I still want you to think about the bad results that might happen."

"What is the cost of victory and whether we can afford the consequences if we fail."

Figus said without hesitation:

"Of course, the ministers and I have considered all this."

“They were all very supportive.”

"Without exception."

As he spoke, he walked over to Lukat, patted his shoulder again, and gave Lukat a reassuring look:

"Lucat, you are a smart, resourceful and courageous person. You are trustworthy, as we can see from the fact that you were able to extricate everyone from that battle."

“And now, please believe in our country. Not only can we do it, but we can do it beautifully.”

"Besides, with the Sari Kingdom here, there is no reason for failure to occur."

"I know you've given it a lot of thought, and that's right, because that's exactly what makes you so outstanding, so I decided to continue to appoint you as the marshal."

"So, our Marshal, with your bravery and wit, go and conquer the Yan Kingdom!"

Figus looked very excited, his face was flushed at the moment, and he continued in a loud voice:

"When you return triumphantly, I will award you the highest medal of honor, and you will become a hero of our Shenglu country!"
