"Prime Minister, what do you think?" Fecocci ignored Andra and continued to speak to Caruno.
"As far as I know King of the West, he is not someone who talks without thinking," Caruno took a deep breath and continued.
"If this matter is not handled properly, it will be difficult to avoid a large-scale war between the two countries!"
"And if a large-scale war really breaks out, regardless of the outcome, Aquilandia's strength will definitely be damaged. At that time, those countries including Northfortia will definitely take advantage of our weakness!"
"Moreover, from a certain perspective, the current situation may be exactly what Northfortia wants!"
"So this battle cannot happen!"
"Prime Minister, you are too worried!" Andra spoke up in a low voice.
"Glavale has been weak for hundreds of years. With their strength alone, Aquilandia can easily push them back for another hundred years!"
"In my opinion, we should just send two million warriors of Army of Buzzard and let them bury 300 thousand Army of Bloodshadow soldiers in the north!"
"Andra, are you trying to issue an order on behalf of me?" Fecocci's eyes flashed with anger. "Or maybe you want to sit on my throne as king?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your servant dare not." Andra slightly hesitated before quickly responding. "Your Majesty, based on my judgment, the Army of Bloodshadow can reach Glavale's northern border within two hours." Caruno spoke again.
In other words, Aquilandia only had two hours to consider their options. If they couldn't satisfy King of the West's demands, this war would be inevitable.
"Prime Minister, you and Andra will go meet King of the West on behalf of me and listen to his specific requirements." Fecocci said after some thought.
"Your Majesty, Andra has many duties. Why don't I go alone..." Caruno hesitated slightly before responding.
He naturally had no objections about going instead but bringing Andra along was like carrying around a ticking time bomb. He was going there for peace talks but not declaring war. With Andra's personality, he would most likely provoke King of the West's anger.
"Prime Minister, your character is too weak. If you don't want to go, then don't. I'll take my people and go!" Andrea interrupted him.
"Your Majesty..." Caruno frowned and looked at Fecocci again.
"This matter is settled, no need for further discussion! You two prepare yourselves and leave immediately. Make sure to meet with the King of the West before the Army of Bloodshadow arrives." Fecocci interrupted him again.
After a brief pause, he continued speaking, "Prime Minister, come with me!"
After speaking, he stood up and walked towards the hall inside.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Caruno was stunned for a moment before following behind him.
Meanwhile, Billy and Rukchi were at a military base camp. Rukchi hung up the phone and looked at Billy.
"Please wait for a response from our sovereign. He will have an answer soon." Said Rukchi.
"If there's no call within ten minutes, I'll assume that Aquilandia has declared war on us." Billy said calmly.
"U-understood!" Rukchi secretly gasped in fear. He prayed that their sovereign wouldn't take too long to make a decision.
Less than ten minutes later, his phone rang again. He quickly answered it, "Prime Minister, what does Your Majesty say?"
After listening to what was said on the other end of the line, Rukchi was slightly stunned. "I understand."
"How about it? Is Aquilandia willing to fight?" After Rukchi hung up the phone, Billy asked calmly once more.
