[quote=@Kuchenlein] Sithou Ahmad then continued elaborating on the economic ties, "Our nation would like to trade your Alphanites in exchange for our mass industrial goods in great numbers, along with plentiful supplies such as wood and food. Our market is also very huge with lots of potential, owing to our huge population along with our politics. We can make very great use of your skyships, for example." Then he continued, "We need some political and cultural ties to better keep our mutual foes in check -- especially the Pherithians and the banksters. We believe an intellectual and cultural exchange will benefit both nations greatly too. Not only this will boost our technologies faster, but this will also stimulate more trade and cooperation between our nations." Ahmad then resumed his talk with the Aranorians, "Looks like there are some clays soon ripe to be conquered. If you are interested to expand your reaches to Terra, look no further and cooperate with us. But we have to be as quick as possible. We need some of your warships and magiks for this conquest, and we can bring your ships through our portals. We will divide the clays between us after we have conquered it. We can talk about the details later." [/quote] The council discussed each other through a minute before deciding. "Gentlemen, as much as we would like to establish this trade agreement. We will decline the offer of exchange with military assets, as such the technologies of our skyships and the limited resources of Alphanites that we barely produce. That we would regret to inform you." Aine added. "Perhaps we are even wondering where have you gotten such information in the first place." *Ahem* The Raegalian Grand Marshal joined. "We simply cannot jeopardize our laws regarding about our military, good sirs. However, we believe resources of economic and cultural exchange is a good offer. The harbors of our coastal cities are always open for available partners in trades." A straight friendly words from the man. "To add more in our reply. The sound of expansion towards the other world is a bit, too exhausting for us as the Confederacy are still developing in its assets. Perhaps we shall take the offer on another moment." Noah finishes his words with the agreement of the nodding delegates.
