A new deal

I wasn't surprised when I heard this.

After all, there had to be a reason for him to come all this way when there was a war that was about to break out.

I just gave a nod for him to continue.

Seeing this, the fourth prince said, "As you know, the key to creating a good army is good equipment. You should also know that our kingdom has struggled with this during this time, so our equipment can't be considered the best."

I gave another nod since this was something that I had heard before from Scar and Shaka.

The fourth prince let out a smile when he saw me nod again before saying, "Our chances in this war aren't good since there are four different kingdoms that are targeting us this time. The armies of all four of these kingdoms have the same level of equipment as us, but they have far more troops than we do. So if we were to fight them head on, there is no doubt that we would lose eventually."
