After the meeting ended, most of the people left, leaving only three people sitting. Queen Maria, Duke Gorge, and Duke Barco.
Queen Maria began, "I have an important matter to discuss. As you are all aware, Latvia's ships have been frequently spotted in our waters. Additionally, our spies have reported that they are increasing the size of their army, recruiting many monsters from the Mountain Horde to join their army."
Duke Barco responded confidently, "Do not worry, Your Majesty. I have already made all necessary preparations. Under my command, I have over two hundred ships, three hundred magicians, and 50,000 ground troops are ready to resist Latvia at any time."
Duke Gorge also said, "I too have taken significant steps in preparation. I have procured a substantial amount of weaponry from Malak. I have a total of 15 thousand ground soldiers, 50 Galleons and 200 magicians under me. I have made my army much stronger than before."
