"We will consider this generosity. In the meantime, you can stay in the palace and wait for our decision," King Heshad said in a polite way yet commanding tone.
Ruhnan bowed. "I thank you for your generosity, your majesty."
The guards escorted Ruhnan out of the throne room.
"Your majesty, are we really going to ally ourself with this invader?"
"Test him first. Send a small army. I want to see what he can offer to us."
"Your majesty, the emissary bring some golems with him and one of the large flying ship."
"Where are they now?" Heshad asked.
"They are stopped outside the city. The guards are currently watching them."
Heshad waved his hand and a projection appeared, revealing the scene outside the city.
A gigantic ship made out of steel was hovering in the sky. Below it, an army of golems stood still. Their expressionless face made them look like fierce warriors, ready to strike, ready to kill.
