Tashina said, "If you help me conquer a territory, I can pay you a hefty reward."
The Oak Territory was remote and offered limited help to the White Steel Princess.
To dominate, she first needed to secure a land, one rich in resources and densely populated, to ensure Tashina could firmly establish herself.
It was impossible to conquer lands with only a few hundred elite units; a large number of infantry units were necessary for combat.
Roman just happened to meet this requirement.
One had resources too abundant to use up, while the other desperately lacked them. Cooperation was the only way out for both factions.
Roman pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
The White Steel Princess had someone bring in an old map that was full of lines representing mountains and rivers. Its corners were curled from being rolled up for so long, which Tashina secured on the table with a dagger.
