Court Part 2
"So you are saying no matter what, we will need people on the battlefield?" An official asked.
"That is a given is it not? But that does not mean they will be going on the battlefield alone. I will also be there with them, doing my best to protect my people. I also wish to save as many people as possible, which is why I am working on research that will help protect and even replace them on the battlefield. But before any of this comes into play, my first objective will be to shore up our own borders with proper defenses. Once we have some of our big tech finished, do you think many kingdoms will object to my proposal for an alliance? We all know that every kingdom on our borders has sent in spies, never mind other kingdoms from further away. With just a little silver or even spending a bit of time with some people at a bar in the kingdom, you can get valuable information.
