Zero Familiar: My Harem

The two left the port and found a medium-sized hotel in the city for one night.

When registering, Verus's name was Ruth, and Haotian's name was Skye.

The next day, Verus and Haotian left the port city for the neighboring territory of the Grunt family.

After the civil war, the original local lords were in charge of the rights of Albion. Among them, the five most powerful were the Grunt family in charge of minerals, the Megan family in charge of forging, and the House family in charge of shipbuilding. The Pace family of the ministers and the Mani family of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for generations.The patriarchs of these five families control the direction of Albion as permanent members of the Albion Republic Assembly.

Among them, the House family is the most powerful. When Albion was still in the king system, the king had to give up three points to it.The airship is the lifeblood of Albion. Without the airship to exchange the goods of Albion and the main continent, the country will starve to death.

The Glenn family and the Megan family have an inseparable relationship. They mine minerals and forge them into armor and weapons. The private soldiers of the two families have the most elite armed forces. Together, even the House family dare not underestimate them.

The Pace family and the Mani family are the most vulnerable. If the other three families did not need their diplomatic and financial influence, there would be three permanent members instead of five.

"Such a family obviously wouldn't be happy to see you come back, yet you still went to find them?" Haotian wondered.

Verus explained: "In fact, the Grunt family is a branch of the royal family. Minerals are an important resource of the country. How can they be handed over to outsiders. This relationship is only clear to the royal family and the direct line of the Nilent family. I believe they will not betray royal family."

Haotian still has doubts in his heart, but he still agrees with Verus' judgment.

Albion was the former royal capital and the seat of the current parliament.The day after the Battle of La Rochelle.

In the palace hall, the original throne was withdrawn, and seats were placed around the central round table in the hall.

Nearest to the center, there are five chairs that are also larger in a circle, and five permanent members of the parliament are sitting on them.

There are about thirty chairs on the outside, which are the seats of other local nobles and ordinary members of the parliament.

The five permanent councilors looked ugly. There was a battle report before, and the Albion advance army was wiped out, and the port of La Rochelle was still under the control of Torristine.

The rich-faced House patted his cheeks: "The situation is clear, what should we do next? Do you have any suggestions?"

Members of the outer legislature talked a lot, but did not express their opinions.He looked at the five people in the center.

"Ahem, I see, since the port has not been captured, it will be a heavy loss if you try to increase your troops. Why don't you just stop." It was Nilent who spoke, with a kind smile on his face.

The group of people behind nodded in agreement, and the short and stubby Meggen next to him didn't speak, probably agreeing with Grunt.

"It's not going to happen. We are the ones who want to fight, and we are the ones who don't fight. Maybe Torristine will counterattack Albion." The Minister of Finance shouted, "and the mobilization of the army has already cost millions of gold coins. There is the pension of the [-] advance troops who died in battle. Who do you want to pay? I have already spent half a million gold coins, how can I stop without seeing the harvest."

There are also some congressmen who agree with his opinion, they all pay money to send troops in the war, and some even join the advance army and die.If there is a truce, it will definitely not make back the money, or even lose blood.

The members of the two factions were noisy, and the five major members stopped talking and looked at each other.

House frowned slightly and coughed softly.

The other congressmen who were still making noise immediately quieted down and looked at the great congressman.

"My opinion is, fight, keep fighting. Although those broken airships are rough, they are worth [-] gold coins. And I already have a solution for the port of landing, Pace, come and tell everyone."

Pace lowered his face, feeling dissatisfied.Although I am weak, but I am also a permanent member like you House, and you actually instigated me, did you treat me as a subordinate?But the situation is stronger than the people, and now the House family is powerful.

Pace said slowly, "Actually, Gallia's envoy came to see me two days ago."

The people below were noisy and very surprised.

"King Joseph of Gallia is willing to lease the port city [Hirutni] to us for one million gold coins, and he will not stop our army from passing by for a toll of one gold coin for each passing soldier. We can borrow Leah to attack Torristine."

"What!!" The councilors in the rear exploded, the main battle side smiled, and the main side was full of sadness.

Glenn and Megan also frowned slightly, obviously this condition exceeded their expectations.

"It seems that everyone has no opinion on this condition. How many troops are you willing to send? My House family will sell [-] airships with a capacity of [-], worth [-] million. Remember when you distribute the dividends." Houseby said A thumb said lightly.

One hundred floating ships with a capacity of one thousand represent an army of one hundred thousand.

"One million rental fees and one hundred thousand tolls are paid by my Mani family. I will also provide [-] soldiers," Mani said.

"I'll send out five thousand soldiers and five magicians." Pace continued, obviously paying a lot of money.

Glenn and Megan looked at the other three's staring eyes, and smiled wryly.

"My Grunt family has [-] soldiers, including [-] sets of enchanted armor."

"My Megan family sent [-] soldiers, plus [-] blacksmiths who accompanied the army to repair weapons and armor."

The little nobles behind reported the number one after another, all of which were five hundred and one thousand, and the total amount was only [-].

House frowned slightly, 7 people made up [-], which made him feel ashamed.

"Since none of you are very enthusiastic, I will send another [-] soldiers. A total of [-] will land from Galia [Hirutni], and attack Torristine through Galia. I will see you in two days. When your soldiers appear at the port, set off in three days. Okay, let's disband." House stood up and left the council hall.

Other members of parliament, big and small, also left the hall one after another, returning to their respective territories from the original capital where the parliament was located, to raise soldiers.The representative of the Mani family took [-] million gold coins and took a floating boat escorted by [-] troops to the capital of Gallia to buy a road.

Shortly after the Albion Council made a decision, Verus and Haotian also arrived at the Grunt family mansion.

The guard at the gate looked at Willus, who claimed to be Miss Grunt's friend, with a puzzled expression.

"You just need to give this letter to Asiya or Aaliyah of the Grunt family, they will recognize me." Ruth, who was disguised as Verus, put two gold coins in the soldier's hand.

The soldier looked at the gold coin in his hand and nodded: "Okay, I'll go find Miss right now."

The gatekeeper ran away with the letter, and half an hour later, a girl ran over.

Her long cyan hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, her silver-white armor glistened, and her face was delicate.

She ran to the door with a happy face and looked around, only seeing Ruth and Skye.

"Who gave you this letter, take me to see him quickly." The girl locked her eyes on Ruth, grabbed Ruth's hand, and looked anxious.
