When Nick Fury walked into Leah's tavern, what he saw surprised him.
Gruchak drank one glass after another of strong drinks, while Aidan just held a wine glass and was quietly lost in thought.
Leah walked aside and opened the window so that the strong smell of alcohol in the tavern could dissipate a little.
Although Leah can try to use whirlwind to induce some wind to completely dissipate the alcohol smell.
But this is a tavern, and it’s a bit strange that there is no smell of wine at all.
"Mr. Aidan, I'm not late, am I?"
Nick Fury said after entering the door.
Of course, he was not late, he even arrived twenty minutes early.
What he said just caused a topic.
Both people know each other's existence, but this is the first time they have actually met.
Although Nick Fury didn't know what topic Aidan wanted to hear and communicate with.
It seems a bit strange to sit together and start talking about serious things directly, so they need a process to start communicating.
“Of course, I came a little early.
The location is Leah’s tavern, you won’t mind, right?”
Aidan asked .
Although there was no hint of inquiry on his face!
Nick Fury understands Leia’s existence better.
After all, Leah’s resurrection at that time still caused some waves among insiders.
At that time, Nick Fury was trying his best to understand the Nephalem, and he knew these things of course.
“Of course not, this looks like a good place to talk.”
Nick Fury acted sincere, but Aidan just smiled.
To be honest, Aidan's first impression of Nick Fury was pretty good.
The authority of justice is constantly reminding Aidan that the Nick Fury in front of him is a guy he can trust to a limited extent.
At least the righteous authorities recognize Nick Fury from a human standpoint.
It’s just that this kind of recognition is somewhat different from Rorschach at that time, but this is not very important.
"Please sit down, you should know more about Kandulas now.
I wonder what Kandulas is like in your eyes?"
Ai Dan showed himself to be relatable.
After becoming the Dark Wanderer, Aidan has indeed become a lot more lonely.
But as a prince back then, he still received a high-quality education in how to get along with others.
It's just that what I learned as a prince later can only be put to use in combat.
"Kanduras is a war fortress. From my point of view, Khanduras does not have the resource output to support the long-term life of those soldiers."
Nick Fury also Don't say anything false.
In places like Khanduras, most young people are warriors.
Although there are many industries settled in the industry, there is almost no industry in agriculture.
Although in human terms, there will not be a food crisis in a short time.
But for a place like Khanduras, if they don’t have their own farmland for a day, the time they can last after the war comes will be reduced by one day.
The supplies required for the war are a huge number. At least Nick Fury has not seen that Kanduras has high-quality industries in this area.
“I am willing to see you this time because I want to solve this problem.
A country like Khanduras needs a stable supply line.
But this is not a suitable place for production. "
Aidan said gently.
He put the wine glass in his hand on the table and crossed his fingers on the table.
He didn't care about his performance. Will more information be revealed to Nick Fury during the negotiation?
Because this is not a simple pull of interests!
Since Nick Fury can see that Canduras is positioned as a war fortress, he must be able to understand the importance of Canduras' existence.
As long as Canduras exists, it will be a good thing for mankind!
At least this place can become the main target for demons to attack after the all-out war begins.
Correspondingly, the dangers that other human cities need to face will be greatly reduced.
"SHIELD is not the organization primarily responsible for production and resources, but I can guarantee that the resources Khanduras needs will be obtained."
Nick Fury did not pull any strings and directly made a guarantee.
Kanduras is willing to discuss this topic with him, which is enough goodwill.
With the high-level power that Canduras possesses, they even chose the robbing method to solve this problem.
The human side does not have much ability to protest.
“Assistance is not a long-term approach, so what I need is a more stable cooperation in which each takes what he needs.
I guess you already have a rough idea of what the paladin that Canduras is training looks like.
So does SHIELD need Paladins as a fighting force? "
Aidan asked.
"You mean war mercenaries? "
This is the first thing Nick Fury thought of after hearing Aidan's words.
If this is the case, it is not a cooperation where everyone gets what he needs!
If Canduras uses force in exchange for resource help, then SHIELD seems to have completely outsourced its defense to Canduras.
The mutual dependence on each other is something that neither Aidan nor Nick Fury is likely to accept!
"It is a training base. SHIELD can screen suitable candidates among humans.
Send them to Canduras for Paladin training. After successful training, they will naturally Back to where you need to be.
Canduras only charges a certain amount of resources as tuition.
Of course, tuition is not determined based on the resources a person needs to consume.
If SHIELD wants to train a qualified paladin, it probably has to provide the training cost of ten paladin. ”
Aidan put forward a preliminary idea.
Help SHIELD train a Paladin and obtain ten times the cost of training a Paladin.
This resource can at least solve the short-term troubles for Canduras.
“If it is such a cooperation, then all the initiative will completely fall into the hands of Candulas.
Although I know that Candulas must stand on the human side The war fortress that exists on the planet
But placing all hope on you is not in line with the aspirations of mankind.”
Nick Fury rejected Aidan’s proposal with some hesitation. .
This is not a question of whether it is cost-effective, but this kind of cooperation is obviously not suitable for long-term cooperation!
Compared to the residents of Khanduras, the number of humans is proportionally huge to a terrifying degree.
The human side can obtain enough emergency combat power in a short period of time, but this cooperation will definitely be suspended as Canduras' resources are saturated!
Then wait until Khanduras's resources are consumed to a certain level before continuing.
If something unexpected happens during this process, the cooperation will be interrupted!
This approach is like putting all your eggs in one basket.
“I probably understand your concerns, so I’ll give you another piece of news.
Although this news will probably be made public soon.
The Necromancer’s Training has also begun, and the location is Latovilia.
Rasma, the most powerful necromancer, has teamed up with the mage named Doom.
It will become a training ground for necromancers, and they will probably cooperate with you like Khanduras.
After all, we are all human, right? "
Aidan smiled. This news is worth a lot of money.
Although Nick Fury is not sure what Rasma's attitude is, he can be sure that Rasma Sima's position should also be on the human side.
Now the person Nick Fury is worried about is the less powerful Dr. Doom.
SHIELD is still very aware of Dr. Doom's abilities.
In terms of scientific research ability, he is not much inferior to Tony, and he is a powerful spellcaster in his own right.
Dr. Doom's ability as a king is also good enough, and he can even directly threaten the United States with a small country like Latvia.
This has fully demonstrated Dr. Doom’s political wisdom!
There is probably no more versatile and outstanding person in the human race than Dr. Doom.
“That is to say, Latovilia will also be built as a war fortress.
After the resources of Khanduras are saturated, Latovilia will Will there be a shortage of resources?"
Nick Fury asked.
The existence of two war fortresses in the form of academies can greatly avoid the situation that Nick Fury is worried about!
But that's not enough!
It can even be said that it is far from enough!
“If the number of war fortresses like this academy is in double digits, I think we can cooperate in the short term.
But one or two, for the endless situation of the devil "It's still a drop in the bucket,"
Nick Fury asked tentatively.
War fortress is a very necessary thing to exist.
But the quantity must be large!
“I understand your concerns. Human population density is constantly rising.
But the total number of humans should be greatly reduced.”
Aidan smiled.
Although the demons have not launched a comprehensive attack on the earth, the demons that appear from time to time are already a reason!
A reason for mankind to gather towards a safer place!
Those once big cities now have a large influx of humans.
The number of humans in the wilderness has been greatly reduced!
And humans are not without sacrifice when facing demons!
"I have a question, how many war fortresses do you plan to build?
How long will it take for the training of Paladins and Necromancers to make them independent?"
Nick Fury asked.
He was already somewhat interested in the cooperation method proposed by Aidan.
Even he himself knows that this is definitely not the best way to cooperate!
But the cooperation with Canduras is not limited to this kind of cooperation!
If necessary, SHIELD can take the lead in cooperating on more levels.
As long as it is for mankind, Nick Fury is a guy who can overcome all difficulties by himself.
“The best choice for a war fortress is to be built on the front line, although the control of when to launch an attack is in the hands of the devil.
But the Nephalem have the qualifications to choose the front line battlefield.”
Aidan said.
There is still a barrier around the Burning Hell.
Of course that barrier cannot completely restrict all demons.
But the Nephalem can completely open a certain part of the barrier!
When the demons begin to invade in full force, the large forces will inevitably choose to come from the easiest exit.
Demons will also appear in other directions, but there will still be some gap between them and the tide of demons.
“If possible, I hope that the front line of the war will be placed directly in the burning hell.
That way, at least the home of mankind will not suffer too much damage.”
Nick Fury said with a wry smile.
He himself knew that this idea was impossible!
The area of the earth has been determined.
But even the Nephalem are unable to give an accurate range of the area of the Burning Hell.
It’s as if Yin Na can surround the entire Burning Hell with her own phantom body, but Yin Na can’t tell how many phantom bodies she has separated!
If Yin Na had to give an adjective related to quantity for the phantom body she separated at that time, would it probably be infinite?
It’s a pity that there is a gap between infinity and infinity.
"The location of the battlefield will be in relatively deserted places, such as around Khanduras.
Or around Latovillia.
Most of the locations where war fortresses are built are also It will be placed in a deserted place."
Aidan said.
He has already communicated with Rasma about this matter and reached a consensus.
But Aidan has not yet contacted the barbarians.
However, based on Aidan’s understanding of the Nephalem, he believed that there would be no objections from the barbarians to this plan.
"A unclear war preparation plan.
With initial cooperation, SHIELD can make a guarantee."
Nick Fury looked at Aidan eyes said.
If it were only supported by the academy of a war fortress in Khanduras, SHIELD itself would be able to supply enough resources.
Before full cooperation, there is no problem in choosing a pilot among humans.
"That would be the best. The training period of a Paladin is not too short. If it is a Paladin who can stand alone, it will take about ten years to grow.
But it is only preliminary. A paladin who can act independently can be on the battlefield in a month or two."
Aidan gave the answer to the time period.
It is not difficult to initially obtain combat effectiveness.
If SHIELD wants to do this, it can just issue powerful weapons to elite soldiers and agents.
Although these soldiers cannot withstand the powerful blows of demons in terms of vitality, their lethality is enough to deal with small-scale demons.
What humans really want is how to get more people to step into the extraordinary realm!
This choice is the most difficult point!
There are always some people among humans who are optimistic, and they have already begun to look forward to the future before the crisis has completely arrived.
The nephalem’s long lifespan with no end in sight is what they eagerly want!
"Then I represent Khanduras and you represent SHIELD.
Preliminary cooperation reached?"
Aidan smiled.
Nick Fury couldn't laugh, but he wasn't opposed to the collaboration.
“If the cooperation is achieved, it would be best if Canduras can produce results as soon as possible.
At least when I persuade the guys above to provide more resources, I will have a bigger goal. Success rate."
Nick Fury said quietly.
This time he did not take any advantage, and even suffered a small loss.
The leadership of this conversation and cooperation fell completely into Aidan's hands from the beginning!
Gruchak on the other side was still drinking one cup after another.
Leah just sat quietly behind the bar.
They don't seem to be interested in this cooperation negotiation at all.
Nick Fury is forced to consider why Gruchak and Leia don't care at all.
Is it because the plan has no value in their eyes?
Or is it that the resources provided by humans are not necessary in their eyes to fight the devil?
This conversation was filled with mysteries that Nick Fury couldn't understand from the beginning.
Nick Fury's many attempts during the conversation yielded no results.
Even completely lost the initiative.
At this time, Nick Fury realized that there was no existence among humans that a strong man like Aidan could take seriously.
Aidan did not act arrogant, nor did he look down on weak humans.
But Aidan showed a "you can't understand even if I tell you" attitude on many topics.
This attitude has already made Nick Fury more uneasy!
Nick Fury is a little anxious!
