The one who raised an objection was Qianqian, and his reason was quite simple: "We're out of money, Your Majesty."
The Stag Chamber, which had been buzzing with excitement a moment ago, instantly felt like it had a bucket of ice water dumped over it and fell silent.
As the second Steward of the Holy Alliance, when Qianqian speaks, everyone still has to listen.
"How could we be out of money?" Exorcist Leader Hakuto turned his body sideways. "Our Holy Alliance's income has quadrupled in ten years. We're at 1.25 million gold pounds now—where did it all go?"
"Where did it all go?" Forcing down his anger, Qianqian rolled his eyes. "I'd really like to ask you where you blew it all!"
Which brings us to the current economic situation and military expenditure of the Holy Alliance.
A 100,000-strong army looks grand on paper, but if you actually calculate it, the monthly expenses are suffocating.
