Chapter 53: Entanglement of Interests
Finally, the meeting ended smoothly. After the saber-toothed parliamentarians took the lead, the ape-man parliamentarians immediately stood up in support. After all, the War Sword Master is a hero in his own clan, and he will stand on the side of the War Sword Master no matter what. The Minotaur is born bold and doesn't like to think much. After relying on his first feeling that what they said was right, he stood up and slapped the seed heavily, and smiled heartily: "Very good, human, I like it." Just do it, and I'll order our little cubs to withdraw their troops and come back at once!"
The Winged Terran was a little hesitant, still pondering the pros and cons. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said to the War Sword Saint and Qi Tianci: "I will also contact our patriarch immediately and ask him to withdraw his troops." War Juggernaut, humans, you better not live up to our expectations!"
Well, four of the five councillors who occupy the positions of the orc clan tribal rulers are clearly on their side. The only remaining fox clan was only taken out of the council hall because he was seriously injured, and he couldn't speak anymore for the time being. Well, this seems to have been decided.
It's just that just as Qi Tianci and the War Sword Saint were about to carry out the next work, the previous Senger Clan Councilor said: "Sword Saint, human, although we no longer regard you as enemies, we also agree to repair the rift between us with you. However, it's not over yet. ”
Qi Tianci, who was turning around and about to walk out of the door, was stunned for a moment, turned around and asked, "What's the matter, haven't we already discussed it?"
The saber-toothed councillor actually laughed, and this was the first time that such an expression had appeared on his face. "Of course, we've got that out of the way. But then we have to talk about another issue. ”
I don't know why, when Qi Tianci heard the sarcastic voice of the sabertooth clan, he immediately felt that something was wrong. Now Qi Tianci felt like a naked man, standing naked in front of the sabertooth councilor. "You, what do you want to do?"
The saber-toothed councilor walked up to Qi Tianci and snapped his fingers in a thoughtful manner: "Yes, we just said before that we repaired our relationship, and we have also promised to withdraw our troops from the border of the Rohan Empire. But since we finally chose to withdraw our troops after following your advice, should you bear the losses we suffered as a result of the withdrawal?"
"Losses? What are you talking about? Is it beneficial for you not to fight the Rohan Empire? Look at what your results have been for so long? You are embarrassed to say that it is your losses to continue fighting. ”
Who knows, the saber-toothed parliamentarian patted Qi Tianci on the shoulder and said in an extremely bureaucratic tone: "Alas, young people don't think so. Now, our borders in the Rohan Empire have only opened up for the time being. That doesn't mean we're going to stay the way we are forever. We can capture the capital of the Rohan Empire at any time if we want to. Come to think of it, in order to help you, we must stop taking benefits from the Rohan Empire, and more seriously, we will be caught up in a war against the Apostles. I think you must know very well that the Apostles are much more difficult to deal with than the barbarians, and if our losses in the Rohan Empire are a few dozen people a day, then when facing the Apostles, our losses may be ten times or even a hundred times a thousand times what they are now. Therefore, it is reasonable for our people to ask for a little bit of compensation. ”
"Hey, why did you tiger suddenly become so shrewd now?" Qi Tianci could have imagined that the saber-toothed clan, who looked like five big and three thick, would still be so clever and clever. But how did Qi Tianci know that after all, the saber-toothed clan had always been a royal family in the era of the Orc Empire, and it was the most powerful race in the entire Orc Empire. After so many years of accumulation, the saber-toothed clan, who originally only relied on force to seize the throne, gradually became more savvy, and even surpassed the most intelligent fox clan in some aspects.
A taunt of Qi Tianci. The sabertooth clan was still unmoved, and still grinned: "Human boy, although I have made a promise, but, now the orders of our major races have not been transmitted, so if we want to regret it now, it is no problem at all." However, if we are to start a war against the Rohan Empire again, then you should not think of going to the Rohan Empire for any help. Of course, for my own sake, the barbarians are of no use now, and even if we stop attacking them, the exiles will inevitably bring them down. By the way, why don't you go to your exiles and form an alliance?"
"Exiles?" Qi Tianci sneered, and then told the councillors about their experiences in the Vault Dweller. Immediately, these councilors felt that what Qi Tianci was telling was like a story. "W-how is this possible? Although those skinny monkeys are indeed very weak, but a few of you can do such a thing?"
The War Sword Saint coughed and said embarrassedly, "I'm also involved in it. So, I think that if we stop attacking the Rohan Empire, then the Rohan Empire will be able to easily get rid of the exiles who are now devastated by the current situation. In fact, to be honest, even if the exiles are still in their prime, the Rohan Empire can easily deal with them. ”
"Is there such a thing?" the saber-toothed councillor turned pale, and then immediately called a saber-toothed clan who was waiting outside the council hall to understand the situation, and finally after ten minutes, the words of the war sword saint were confirmed.
That's right. The saber-toothed councillor's heart sank, as if there was no way to get more food out of the mouths of these humans. But as a councillor with a higher status than the sabertooth patriarch, his far-sightedness is unmatched by other clansmen. Sure enough, after only lasting about a minute of embarrassment, he smiled again: "I see, it seems that our intelligence agency is not very perfect. "Actually, where are the orc clans and tribes having any intelligence agencies? Except for the fox clan, which barely has such a thing, the other races want to know the news of the outside world, especially the human world, either through reconnaissance or hearsay, and almost all the news received from the human world is still from the human world. However, even the War Sword Saint on the side despised the words of this sabertooth councilor, but the councilor didn't care about it. Instead, he intensified his efforts and said, "In this case, I also wish you success in your next journey to the Rohan Empire." What a pity, we thought that if those barbarians were defeated, then you would have to rely on us, and then we could ask you for food and supplies for a year for 100,000 orcs, as well as armaments to arm at least 10,000 orcs. ”
"What the fuck are you talking about? Kind of say it again?" Hearing the brazen request of this sabertooth clan, Qi Tianci immediately became angry, what kind of request is this? It is equivalent to saying that the materials they finally bought from the Deloma Empire are not enough to stuff the teeth of this saber-toothed councilor! Where is this reward? This is simply a clear robbery? The angry Qi Tianci has no idea that he has firmly grasped the collar of the sabertooth councilor, and he is about to tear his collar.
However, the Sabertooth Councillor only frowned, as he felt that it made him a little uncomfortable. But he still didn't lose his temper, but continued to flatter: "Of course, of course, human boy. All we just said was if the barbarians could no longer help you. But now that the situation has changed, let's talk about the next steps. ”
Qi Tianci stared at the War Sword Saint angrily, obviously questioning the War Sword Saint Why did this Sabertooth Clan dare to brazenly ask for this? Isn't it not natural for the Orc Clan to form an alliance with the Rohan Empire and them? Although the relationship between the three parties is not good now, at least now they have a common enemy, since they are on the same front, why do they still ask for so much?
For Qi Tianci's angry gaze, the War Sword Saint also felt very embarrassed. Oh my God, what is this? Why is it different from the script that was conceived before? Originally, after the successful arbitration of the armed forces before the beginning, the Sword Master of War knew that the most difficult level had been taken. But now? Although the matter is already in full swing, it's just that this saber-toothed councilor actually asked for these things like Qi Tianci? What should I do? The War Sword Saint didn't know, because he had never experienced such a thing, and even in the history of the orc clan, there had never been a case where other foreign clans had taken the initiative to ask for help from the orc clan. Wait, no, Qi Tianci came to the orc territory with him, not just to ask for help, he and himself let the gradually divided orc clan and tribe reunite! Didn't you say it before? Qi Tianci came to help him solve the internal affairs of the orc clan first, in exchange, The Juggernaut promises to convince the armies of the Orc Clan to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Magellan and the Rohan Empire, and the armies of the Deloma Empire and the Mortal Empire to the south, as well as the armies of the Roman Empire, plus a number of other armies large and small, to form the largest and most militarily powerful alliance army in the world's history?
He first took Qi Tianci's hand away from the collar of the sabertooth councilor, and then pulled the sabertooth councilor aside.
"You, what are you doing?" the saber-toothed councillor looked a little flustered, but it was pretended.
"Be quiet. Seeing that Li Qi Tianci was already some distance away, the War Sword Saint asked, "Why do you want these things?
"No, of course. Senator Sabertooth laughed, "But, the more things like this, the more we have, the better." Who knows how long this winter will last? And you know, it's not officially winter yet, it's already so cold. What if our people can't support it?"
"Naturally, I'll find a solution to something like this. The War Swordmaster said sharply, "But have you ever thought about it, if you take this human who helps us to let go of our prejudices within the orcs, then how will the human world view us? If he is very angry, he can even convince his own race to join the other side in the war, do you know what that means to us? That is, after the collapse of the human world, they will be the first enemies to turn their guns on us!"
The saber-toothed councillor immediately felt a little weak. He hurriedly said, "Okay, what I just said is just my own suggestion, since you, as the spiritual leader of our orc clan, don't approve of this idea, then we don't do it." But then he changed his words: "However, I am not alone in making decisions about things like this, as for what we ultimately want, we have to be decided by all the members of our council." You say yes?"
The Sabertooth Councillor tried to ask for help from outside, but the Minotaur Councilor snorted coldly and said, "If they help us, then we will help them." Survival, not trading. ”
Well, the first call for help has already failed. But the Sabertooth Councillor was not discouraged, and immediately he looked at the Winged Terran Councillor on the side with a pleading gaze. The Winged Terran Councillor's stance is very vacillating, and if he is on his side at this time, then his neutrality will be sufficient. But he was still disappointed.
"I feel that the Apostles are our common threat, and that this human is still helping us. If we ask so much, it will cause controversy in the outside world. ”
"You winged but useless rotten man!" The Sabertooth Councilor was furious, but was interrupted by the Ape Councilor: "As a former royal family, do you feel that your previous request was a bit of a robbery?"
All right. Now the four hospitals present were very opposed to his previous idea. He could only admit defeat, returned to his original position, and said unwillingly: "Okay, everything is up to you, you helped us, of course we have to help you." But as for whatever happens to you in the Rohan Empire in the future, there is nothing we can do. Because, this is not a matter of the agreement. ”
