Chapter 15 Negotiations
"Weak little one, I bet your mother must not have taught you, and it is better not to threaten the fearless orcs."
Before the old orc could reply, a deep voice came from the other direction: "The best for you dragon babies is to hide under your mother's wings and shiver." ”
"Even if we're just cubs."
Caesar's gaze swept over the faces of these orcs one by one: "But we will run and fly, even if only one of our three brothers can leave today, what will happen in a few decades?" When the dragon returns, what else can you do but hide behind that damn stone and shiver? ”
As he spoke, he supported his body with his hind limbs, stood up with his head held high, and his folded wings spread out suddenly, and the wingspan of more than fifteen meters was like a dark black cloud, continuing to exert potential psychological pressure on the orcs with his huge size.
Caesar bent down and slowly approached the leader of the orcs, their huge heads almost touching the old orc's face, their foreheads almost pressed together.
The dragon's pupils were erect and full of intimidation, Caesar and the old orc looked at each other, and the words were squeezed out of his teeth: "Don't pray that time will make us forget, and don't think that you or even your heirs will escape, our black dragons will pay their debts, and if you are brave enough to go to war today, you will pay back tenfold in the future." ”
He said this with a hideous face and a cruel voice, looking full of momentum, but in fact, he had his own plans, secretly spying on the orc's reaction.
The purpose of the previous claw was to show strength, and these words were not only threatening, but also a temptation.
If the orcs still resolutely start a war with the young dragons and launch an attack, Caesar will have to prepare to flee immediately, saying that he will run away.
Because the words have come to this point, if the orcs take his threat to heart and have no fear, then it means that these green-skinned creatures are sure of victory, and have no intention of letting go of any of the young dragons.
If that happens, Caesar really can't control Garon and Blackthea, and he can't protect himself, so he will flee as soon as possible.
Fortunately, the worst did not materialize.
After hearing these words, the orc warriors couldn't help but hesitate, and the flames of anger were extinguished, they are the most fierce orcs Yes, but as intelligent creatures, who can not plan for the future.
They just wanted to make a fortune, tie up the three young dragons, and then sell them to the human realm for a large sum of money.
But is it guaranteed to catch every young dragon? Can you catch even the biggest one?
The orc warriors hesitated, and looked at their leader, the old orc wizard, waiting for the leader's orders.
"Besides, if you do kill us, what will you gain?"
Caesar's voice became soothing, like that of the devil: "Your purpose is nothing more than to capture us and sell us to mankind in exchange for a good reward. ”
"But how can you guarantee that we won't be able to break free from the abyss of hell, and who should we settle accounts with once we succeed in breaking free from human control?"
Another bombshell.
Caesar was not confident enough that a shock of the dragon's body would make the enemy surrender and bow down, but he knew that the actions of any intelligent creature had a purpose behind it, and the root cause of the orcs besieging them was driven by profit, but if they found that the losses they would suffer were far greater than the gains, how would these orcs choose?
In order to completely change their minds and prevent these orcs from being carried away by powerless anger and rushing directly to them on the spur of the moment, Caesar also made up a little sweetness for these guys: "What's more, compared with the friendship of dragons, how many catties and taels is the reward of human beings?" ”
After Caesar's words, the scene immediately fell into an eerie silence.
Blackthea and Garon stared at him blankly, as if it was hard to imagine that their brother would say such a thing, and in the eyes of the young dragon, the orcs had rushed forward, and a death match was inevitable.
The orc warriors were also silent, staring at each other with wide eyes, and their whispers were not heard until much later.
"The friendship of dragons, does an evil dragon like the black dragon also have friendship at all?"
"Doga doesn't know, Doga just doesn't want to fight an adult black dragon in the future, oh, that's terrible......"
"The Black Dragon's words are not credible, the tribe has been deceived by these cunning dragons before, we can't just let them go."
Caesar's purpose was achieved, these green-skinned orcs looked like tigers, but they weren't stupid, at least they could understand the meaning of his words, and now there were disagreements among the tribe.
Now, it's up to their leader.
This old orc who was always frowning looked a little difficult to deal with, but Caesar was not worried, since he had not attacked before, in the face of the orc warriors who had no intention of fighting after some persuasion, it was even more impossible for the old leader to forcibly order the killing of the black dragon.
But the old fellow didn't know what was going on, and kept silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time passed silently in a stalemate and confrontation.
After waiting for a long time, it was not until the dawn broke and even Caesar felt impatient that the old orc raised his head and squeezed out a wrinkled smile on his face.
"You succeeded and convinced me." The old man's voice was hoarse, like dead bark.
Caesar's nerves, which had been tense, finally relaxed: "It seems that this is not a wonderful misunderstanding, but it is fortunate that this incident can be the beginning of your friendship with me." ”
At this time, he keenly noticed that Garon and Blackthea's faces were not very good, and the two young dragons moved very much, as if they had something to say in their hearts, with resentment.
However, now was not the time to discuss the young dragon's emotions, and he tentatively said to the orc leader: "My friend, this chance encounter is very impressive, but as mentioned before, we are just passing travelers, and now it is not too early, can we set off again?" ”
"Nope."
The old orc's answer was quick this time, and he lightly refused, and the atmosphere in the woodland turned into a boiling oil pot again, and Blackthea and Garon immediately arched their backs, ready for a decisive battle, and Caesar was ashamed of the quick reaction.
"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that the honest and sincere orc warriors have been deceived by the dragon, and the tribe has paid a high price for this, and I must ensure that this will not happen again."
The old wizard, who was in a noble position in the orc tribe, bowed slightly and made a gesture of invitation to Caesar: "Please let me see your sincerity, and join me in establishing a true friendship under the witness of the God of Truth." ”
I'm waiting here.
Caesar finally knew what the old orc was thinking after standing in the middle of the night, and the old man actually drew up a covenant to sign with Caesar in the presence of the God of Truth.
Caesar listened to the conditions of the orc leader, and if he summarized the other party's requirements in his words, it was roughly as follows: since the establishment of the oath, the dragons must not infringe on the crow clan in any form, and at the same time, the oath must not harm the interests of the other party in any form; In times of crisis, the Black Dragon has the obligation to provide shelter and assistance to the Stone Crow Clan.
This is a naked unequal treaty!
This damn old fellow, as an orc, has degenerated into the same virtue as humans, cunning and greedy.
Caesar cursed in his heart, and then argued that they were not powerless fish and meat, and there was no reason to bear such an unequal treaty.
Two creatures of different species bargained in the woodland, and the true dragon and the orc leader lost their prestige, and the scene was simply unsightly.
Eventually, they negotiated a covenant along the following lines:
Sanshengzi shall not infringe on the Shiya clan in any form in the future, and the two sides will respect each other and promise not to harm each other's interests.
The Crow Clan provided Caesar Ortorenzo Targaryen with shelter for twenty-five years, during which time he was guaranteed to meet Caesar's physical needs such as feeding and sleeping, and when Caesar came of age, he had to return to provide shelter and assistance to the Crow Clan for thirty years.
……
In fact, Caesar was quite satisfied with the final covenant, and it was best to be sheltered in his weak childhood and adolescence, but he didn't feel that it was a shame to be protected by orcs.
He was not afraid that the Crow Clan would trap him, because he had added a clause to the oath that if for any reason, the Crow Clan could not provide shelter for twenty-five years, the oath would be null and void, and Caesar would not have to fulfill the oath again.
When he was satisfied, he wanted to add the names of the two young dragons to the covenant, but the two guys shook their heads like rattles, and they refused to sign their real names as dragons, and Caesar had no reason to force them.
The oath was signed by both parties in the presence of the God of Truth, and the oath came into effect.
