"What can this one prepare as consideration for attacking Basamark?

Discussion began and I asked a quick question.

"Gold, food, resources, and power, right? We can solve most of the problems that have arisen in Paradise just described."

Anyway, it looks like he's going to pay a lot of money for it.

This is likely to result in a light negotiation, but was the Governor over there the type to decide by emotion?

This alone may be weak.

"Should Bassamark circulate rumors in advance that once he unifies the Meesians, he's going to join hands with the shoots and attack Paradise? I can't say enough lies. Negotiations don't start right now, and will there be time to spread the rumors?

"Right...... because then you can't unite the Meessians with Basamark. I know there will be time to spread the rumors. However, there is a good chance that you won't believe it to the extent of the rumors. Well, it's worth it..."

I'm not sure that's all we can negotiate.

"What do you think of Master Lisia?

I asked Lisia for her opinion.

"That's right...... I don't think you'll ever take the paradigm side, no matter how much of the benefits you offer to work with this one. Because we lack what is most important to negotiate."

"What is it?"

"Credit. If you don't make the paradise side think this one keeps its promise properly, food, money, and soldiers are all in vain. And even if you spread rumors that Bassamark would attack the paradise, you'd think that would be the same thing for Klan. That doesn't make any sense."

"That's a good idea... but is there a hitter when credibility is a problem?

During the period leading up to the negotiations, can it be fulfilled, for example, by suddenly increasing its credibility significantly?

It is somehow a cause from a long time ago.

It wouldn't be like being able to wipe it out in the short term.

Was it impossible to negotiate from the beginning?

Basamark seems to have given up on the impossibility of negotiating with Paradise, but was that decision right?

"Right...... I'm asking His Majesty the Emperor to mediate this time, so I don't think it's possible to increase your credibility by cooperating. Though I think we need a lot of rooting."

"What is its rooting......?

Licia started talking about specific ways from then on.
