It seems to me that any country that wants to establish friendly diplomatic relations with you while intruding on your borders is nothing more than two situations.

Either he wants you to become his vassal state, keeps asking for help, keeps compromising, and finally signs a series of unequal treaties to satisfy his greed.

Either they want to encroach on territory and divide up the land in order to feed their thirst for power.

Whether it is to satisfy greed or to feed thirst, the one who will suffer in the end will be the city of Dasai.

Therefore, it is impossible to establish so-called friendly diplomatic relations with people with wolf ambitions.

Since friendly diplomatic relations cannot be established, and it is difficult to refuse directly, it is better to ignore them.

Many times, ignoring is not only an attitude, but also an act of losing baggage.

After I stated my thoughts, the orc king muttered a little and said, "This method is indeed feasible, but ignoring this attitude will seem to be somewhat lacking in politeness." ”

As he spoke, he turned to Lesta: "What do you think?" ”

"Ignoring is naturally a more direct means, and the effect is also very strong, but it is indeed ungraceful and easy to be criticized, and maybe it will also set off a storm about 'politeness', which will outweigh the loss" Lesta's eyes were deep, and he said slowly: "The old minister thinks that since the city lord of Eri City has said that he wants to establish diplomacy with my Dasai City, we might as well agree to his request to express our eagerness to establish friendly diplomatic relations." ”

The corners of his mouth suddenly rose, a smile appeared, and he continued: "At the same time, we also have to draw up a contract for him, the content of the contract must be as harsh as possible, but it must also conform to the convention, and it must be acceptable to the world, but the city lord of Eri City cannot accept it, in this way, the city lord of Eri City will definitely reply to us with a sentence of 'consider and consider', and after a long time, this so-called diplomatic relationship will come to naught." ”

The Orc King nodded: "So, you also have a disoptimistic attitude towards the diplomatic relations proposed by the city lord of Eri City?" ”

"As Xiao Yi said, the ambition of the wolf son of the city lord of Eri City, and being friends with wolves must have risks, and the risks are greater than the benefits, so it's better not to get involved easily."

"Since the two prime ministers have unified their views, I don't have anything to say, I just want to ask you one more question, what kind of mentality do you think the two city lords said today are out of these requirements?"

The Orc King asked, his gaze lingering over Lesta's and my faces.

Lesta did not give in and was the first to reply; "Lao Chen thinks that the two city lords will only have one purpose when they come over this time, and they will be tempted."

"Tempting what?" The Orc King asked.

"Test Your Majesty's attitude," Lesta said.

"My attitude?" The Orc King frowned slightly: "What is my attitude?" ”

"On the surface, it's your attitude towards Ari City and Yorkham City" Lesta's eyes flickered, and a flash of wisdom flashed on the monolithic mirror: "Secretly testing your attitude towards Moonlight City and Vicky Castle." ”

"Oh?" The orc king was interested, he stretched his body, and said, "Tell me about it." ”

"Vicky Castle and Moonlight City, have established a strategic alliance with my Dasai City, this is a secret for civilians, but for the great nobles, it is no longer a secret, presumably, this news has already been revealed to the city lord of Eri City through the informant hidden in the shadows of my Dasai City" Lesta said: "The establishment of a strategic alliance is an important matter for us, and for the city lord of Ari City, it is the same. ”

He took a light breath and continued: "For a long time, my Dasai City occupies a more vast territory than the other four towns, with richer minerals and more fertile land, whether it is mineral resources or grain cultivation, it can be called the first in the Zephyr Continent, and as a neighboring city, Eri City, whether it is territory or resources, is far inferior to me, if the city lord of Eri City is a wise king, then he is likely to find a way to establish friendly diplomatic relations with us, At the same time, he will try to show his kindness as much as possible, but unfortunately, on the contrary, he is an aggressive careerist, he will not choose to coexist peacefully, he will only try to cut our flesh little by little with the butcher's knife in his hand! ”

Lesta said, taking out neat stacks of paper from her bosom, placing them on the coffee table, and carefully unfolding them.

As the paper unfolded completely, I recognized that it was a map, a map of the entire territory of Dasai.

"Your Majesty, please look here, here, and here" He counted the towns, which were the most marginal towns in Dasai City, and the most neglected towns by the Orc King on weekdays.

"These towns, what's wrong?" The Orc King asked.

"These are towns that have been infested by Ari and Yorkham, and it wasn't that long ago that it happened."

"What!" The orc king's momentum instantly rose, and he roared, "Why don't you tell me!" ”

"Your Majesty's anger," Lesta's tone was natural, and he said, "The old minister thinks that these towns are far away and will not affect His Majesty's prestige, so he did not mention this matter to His Majesty. ”

"If you don't mention it to me, do you think I can't handle this well, or do you think they're in a remote situation and don't deserve protection?" The orc king's eyes flashed angrily, and he said: "Do you know that every piece of land in this is my ancestors, who led countless martyrs to fight down, and this is full of countless blood and sweat, and now, these places have been invaded by outsiders, and you don't even know about it!" ”

"Husband," the queen said suddenly, "Listen to Lesta's words first, and it's not too late for you to be angry." ”

The orc king stared at the bull's eye, let out a rough breath, and pondered his emotions for several minutes before he said, "You continue." ”

Lesta did not show any timidity and frustration because of the orc king's anger, on the contrary, he still said in a natural tone and unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, when this incident happened, it was just when you received the envoy of Moonlight City, and the old minister thought that it was more important for Moonlight City to suddenly send an envoy here to negotiate the alliance, so he did not mention this matter to His Majesty. ”

"Moonlight City Envoy...... Well, I see," the orc king softened his gaze and said, "And then, what did you do with these towns?" ”

"At that time, we have established a strategic alliance with Fort Vechi, in order to confirm the authenticity and utility of this relationship, the old minister is bold, sign the members of the dwarf guild, as allies, to jointly resist the enemy, although the initial battle situation is average, but only in the past ten days, the dwarf guild members have formed a strategic tacit understanding with the local garrison, and in the next few days, all the invading enemy forces are defeated, including several major victories!"

As he spoke, he turned to me and said slowly, "Our prime minister, An Xiaoyi, was also fortunate to participate in a battle and won a major victory. ”
