Chapter 631 Expanding National Territory

Upon hearing Balthazar’s words, everyone was in shock. They did not expect. Balthazar to have such ambitions: he wanted to expand the territory of Diatoran!

“Your Majesty, Diatoran is very far away from Vadesia and Astronia. We might be thrown into dire straits if we attack these four countries at the same time!”

“He’s right! Only Estrya is nearer to us. Filren is far away from us, too. We’ll be met with multiple difficulties if we fight countries a long distance away from us.

“Everyone has witnessed the damage brought by the battle held in Southlake City. Now that the situation has finally calmed down, I think we shouldn’t start another war. Otherwise, it’ll bring about a lot of deaths and casualties.”

Several generals expressed their opinions quickly. Everyone found them to be sound. Diatoran still had not recovered from the previous battles, and deploying troops to fight in another war now would be too high a risk.

“The three of them gave sound perspectives. How about the others?” Balthazar asked.

Senior General John Anderson suddenly piped up, “It’s my personal opinion that these four countries harbor nefarious motives toward us. Even if we don’t attack

them, they’ll do so after they regroup and recover.

“I think that this is an opportunity that’s really hard to come by for us. We should make use of the advantageous situation we’re in now after our recent wins and strike and wipe these countries out!”

“We’re in high spirits now, that’s true, General Anderson. Attacking four countries at the same time is still somewhat difficult, though. If they band together against us again, Diatoran might collapse!” a high–ranking official said.

Upon hearing his words, everyone thought about it seriously. Attacking four countries was a bold proposal. A slight misstep and Diatoran would be plunged into a situation beyond saving.

“Your Majesty, Diatoran has just achieved an impressive victory, and we’ve managed to kill Robert Valez and Viktor Obrien. Both Astronia and Vadesia don’t bold a candle to us.

Estrya and Filren are also nothing to worry about. I think that we can embark on a military campaign against these countries and start a war!” Benjamin, the Champion of North Aridlands, said.
