King Axel looked over at Hydrus, who seemed to be contemplating the matter. Axel was content to hear the rest of the royalty out for now, but he had more than a few ideas.<br/><br/>Hydrus, on the other hand, had no trouble speaking up once he was finished thinking.<span style="color: #00BFFF">"The matters to be considered in such a conflict are many. It's of course imminent to conclude that each country should provide help as per their nation's speciality. It goes without saying that Cordelia will defend any and all waterways against Ciardahn forces, but beyond this, I am afraid my people cannot be of much help. The only thing Cordelia can provide, beyond seamanship, would be artillery."</span>He turned to Axel.<span style="color: #00BFFF">"King Axel? What do you think?"</span><br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FF0000">Well, then,</span></span>Axel thought.<span style="font-style: italic"><span style="color: #FF0000">I can't just stay silent.</span></span>He rose up, frowning.<span style="color: #FF0000">"Pyralis was perhaps one of the kingdoms that got hit hardest the last time Dardanos rose. We learnt a lot from that. Pyralis can offer three things, I think. Gunpowder and stone to those who need it. The scholars of our universities, many of which are skilled healers and a few very talented enchanters."</span>He looked up and addressed Eira.<span style="color: #FF0000">"And unforgiving, unyielding, infernal dominance of the skies. There shall be no dragon in Pyralis that will not fight to set Ciardah aflame."</span><br/><br/>Hydrus chuckled a bit at the king's words.<span style="color: #00BFFF">"Go figure, the dragon king is ready to fight. Well. In terms of weaponry and tools to defeat Dardeios' nigh-immortal army, we cannot provide. But the waterways of the land can, with Cordelian ships, ease logistics. If anything is certain, it is that a new threat from Cardiah warrants a total war setting for all of us. I can ensure all kingdoms have the necessary ships for troop transport and supply runs. I'll also summon the Grand Admiral, the Coalition General, and Leviathan Highlord to ensure our naval, land, and merfolk armies are at the ready to provide."</span>
