"Ya, ya cool your jets." Alex said to her. "So, Haakon, I wanna secure an alliance with you." "An alliance? For what?!" "I need more men. Right now I'm In the tens of thousands, but you have some of the most dangerous bastards known on Tatakai. I want some men, and I'm willing to pay." "You sound like ya want some prostitutes for christs sake!" Haakon bellowed. "What? Are your men willing to take care of that department as well?" Alex asked the Jarl jokingly. "HA! Maybe with Egor here!" Haakon gestured to the guard. "That being said, I don't want money. I want your own resources when the time comes. I got two other Jarls who want my fat ass on a platter!" "Why would anyone want that?!" Falk asked with a smile. The Jarl bellowed at the comment and wagged his finger. "You are all smartasses you know that?" Haakon commented. "Fact is, I'm a target. And I live in a nation that only wants new weapons, nothing else related to technology." "What are you getting at Haakon?" Alex asked him. "I want you to help me invade the other islands and take them over!" Haakon declared. It hardly took alex a moment before he answered. "Out of the question." "What?!" "You heard me. My company believes in freedom Haakon. And justice. I won't help you invade other islands so they can be plummeted into a war of greed."
