Jackson drank his tea from the cup while looking very tired . "Katzback and Dentrion are fighting a large scale war . " Everyone turned to Jackson at once . Joonbum took out a cigarette and said, "Yeah?" "Yes, sir . I heard a young knight called Aslant the Lancer is earning quite the fame . He is considered the kingdom's hero . " "Oh, that's interesting . " "It seems Marquis Baytel, the commander of the army, is backing him up . It looks like those two are related somehow . " "I see . Good job, Jackson . Keep it up . " "It's still far from perfect, sir . I need more manpower and finances . " Jackson responded to the compliment modestly . It was his effort after all that brought them the most recent information of what was going on around the world . "Yes, but it's still great . Information is crucial . It will allow us to act quickly . " Jackson bowed . "So, Dentrion is claiming victory over most of their battles . It seems that this Aslant and his lance is hard to fight against on the plains . " "Katzback is weak when they fight on the plains?" "Yes, sir . They are sturdy and strong, but they live in the mountain range . They can't just fight head-on when they are on the plains, but they don't know any other way . " "Hah! Those Katzback savages are getting what they deserve!" Hectos mumbled while drinking brandy with Jinpok on the side . Jinpok then asked, "Hectos, it seems like you have a bad memory about those Katzbacks?" Jackson laughed . He remembered the mercenaries from Katzback who picked fights with Hectos . In most cases, mercenaries did not try to pick on soldiers . They knew it would make their lives harder if they did . But the Katzbacks did not care . "No! NO! Absolutely not . " "Huh? You sound like you do! Hey, tell me . Have you been beaten up with your pitiful fighting skills by them? That's it, right?" Hectos frowned as Jinpok speculated correctly on his first try . "NO WAY! I beat them up!" Hectos shouted . "Huh? Are you sure? They're not so soft, those Katzbacks . Are you sure?" "Of course . " "Okay, I'll believe you then . " Jinpok nodded . Hectos blushed and flinched at Jinpok's sudden approval . Jinpok then smiled . "But let me ask Hodd and Todd first . Is that okay?" "Ugh . " Those two were the oldest soldiers they worked with . They knew almost everything about Hectos . Jackson watched two of them speak for a while and turned back . "I heard both Dentrion and Katzback are asking for food . " "Hmph . " "Hah, they ask for food while they fight with each other?" Jinpok blurted out, uncomfortable from the request . "Other countries are requesting it also . Even the empire," Jackson continued . Howen and Doral, who had been enjoying their tea, turned to Jackson . Gustal, the leader of Gerekstal, also looked the same . "Aren't all of them getting better now? They won't need any more…" Gustal mumbled, but Jackson shook his head . "It's easier this way . " "Easier?" "Oh, I see…" Howen nodded and sighed . Gustal looked confused and he began thinking . He then realized what Jackson just said . 'Humans…' It was always best to raise it themselves, but farming was not an easy task . It took time and effort to see fruition . The leaders did not have time to do that . They wanted to take the easiest route to satisfy their people and overcome the situation . "We'll send just enough . Make sure you draft up a contract for everyone . Have the countries agree to be borrowers, not the individual nobles or kings . We will need the king, his heir, and ten nobles from each country's signatures on it . " "Yes, sir . " Jackson answered but Jinpok looked confused . He thought about it for a moment and asked Joonbum, realizing what he was up to . "Are you trying to control their economy?" Other people turned to Joonbum . "Yes . This is the right opportunity . " Jinpok nodded . "I see… that will be most efficient . So you want them to be friendly toward Khalodian . " "That's the idea . We have to step it up, otherwise we will get overwhelmed . " Khalodian land was now a golden egg . It was certain that other countries would come after it soon . "So, why don't you get married first?" Jackson suddenly said . "Right . How long are you going to make my daughter wait?" Howen asked with a cold stare . Doral looked away . "OH, about that . Our elders want to have closer ties with you . In terms of marriage . " Joonbum frowned . Jackson then approached him with a piece of paper . "It's the list of candidates . " It was filled with countless names .
