But... isn't this still not quite right?
After pondering the situation in his mind, Leon's brow furrowed slightly.
The Crolock Kingdom, though incredibly strong, was lightly populated and couldn't afford heavy casualties. It also held a lot of advanced technologies, making it extremely easy to profit from "international trade," so it usually acted reasonably.
This nation wasn't the kind that was uncooperatively aggressive, and it would not resort to force unless absolutely necessary. Especially concerning energy purchase transactions, it was so generous that it was almost frightening.
So if it were a typical energy resource, given the Kingdom's usual stance, it should have opted to hand over the mining rights in exchange for a large sum of money and technological support from the Crolock Kingdom. Why choose to go to war?
