Chapter 163: Undercurrents are surging
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have set up a banquet in the banquet hall, and I invite you to enjoy it."
Looking at the representatives who walked out of the main hall of the main hall, Eldron Eldron Eldron Elf Lord smiled with a smile on his face.
Rivendell has always claimed to be the strongest force and leader in all of Middle-earth.
This is also the tacit acquiescence of various forces.
No way, compared to the long lifespan of the elves.
Human lifespan is too short.
The main reason why a country is strong is whether its kings and monarchs are wise, open-minded and powerful.
And the short life span of human beings has already been decided, and the rise and fall of human kingdoms cannot last forever.
A wise monarch can only make a kingdom prosperous for a century at most.
And a mediocre and incompetent monarch can bring this kingdom to collapse in just a few years.
This is the inescapable fate of all human kingdoms.
But this is not a problem at all for elves who live a long life.
This is also the strongest in Middle-earth, the default elven capital of Rivendell.
Indeed it is.
This meeting is proof of this.
With the successful signing of the covenant, the representatives of the forces were also led to the banquet hall by the elven guards.
At this time, Gandalf's footsteps followed Eldron from behind.
"Lord Elon, won't you tell you about the traces of the undead found in 'Dolgodo'?"
"So that they can prepare accordingly?"
Gandalf whispered.
Hearing his friend's question, Eldron didn't say anything, but took Gandalf directly to the open-air garden.
"Elon, I see you have a good complexion."
"What, is the alliance over?"
As soon as Eldron walked into the open-air garden with Gandalf's figure, Galadriel, who was sitting in the garden drinking tea, spoke.
"Yes, the six parties have reached an agreement, and the time is set for the last day of next month."
Eldron laughed.
The Elven Queen Galadriel is the Elven Lord of Roslorian,
It's just that with Galadriel's noble status, it is inconvenient to attend the major delegate meetings.
"That's good, there's a sign of a resurgence of darkness."
"It's the best choice to deal with the dragon in the lonely mountain earlier."
Galadriel said lightly.
"Lady Gayldelier, this time it happens that the major representatives of the entire Middle-earth forces are together."
"Wouldn't it be right to tell the forces that Dolgodo had discovered the dark undead and told the forces of the approaching news?"
As soon as Gandalf heard Galadriel's words,
I knew that I didn't inform the representatives of the dark undead that it was the meaning of the elf queen in front of me.
"No, Mislanda."
"To the whole world, the trail of the resurrection of the dark undead is far more threatening than the dragon of the lonely mountain."
"However, the resurgence of darkness is yet to be investigated, and the dragon threat is ever-present."
"At this time, once the news is informed."
"The various forces may not pay as much attention to crusading against dragons, especially human kingdoms like Gondor and Rohan, which are far away from the Lonely Mountain."
"It's very likely that the force of the troops will be reduced."
"Because dragons are dangerous to them, darkness is the enemy!"
......
Just when humans and elf Rivendell reached an alliance and were silently preparing to encircle and suppress the dragon of the lonely mountain.
Between Modo and the Lonely Mountain,
Ever since Ainz agreed to an initial cooperation with the master of Modo.
The leader of the orcs, the pale orc Asog, also expressed a strong desire for the Lone Mountain's dealings.
Just a few days later, a small team with the sincerity of the orcs came to the underground kingdom of the Lonely Mountain again with the list of transactions and conditions.
With the consent of Ainz.
The two parties also began a formal transaction.
Lonely Mountain, the Underground Kingdom.
Inside a huge underground warehouse.
In the dim light of the wall lamps, several tall orc overseers were wielding leather whips, shouting at the dwarven slaves in front of them.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry up the action!"
"The great master let you eat and drink enough, but he didn't let you be lazy!"
"Hurry up!"
Under the rebuke of the orcs, the dwarven slaves carried the weapons and equipment with the smell of blood in stockpiles.
At the same time, in another underground warehouse not far away.
Pickled corpses of various types with a faint smell were also carried out by the dwarven slaves, and tied up and placed on the minecart.
At that moment, a dwarven slave stared at a freshly tied corpse and whimpered.
In the next second, the orc overseer's long whip was thrown directly at the dwarf slave.
"Smack!"
"The delivery time is delayed, can you guys afford it!"
"Hurry, give me a little bit of action!"
......
"These are all leftovers from last time?"
On the flat bridge in the underground kingdom, a huge blue figure was standing on the flat bridge, looking at the corpses that were being transported up in frames below.
"Yes, master."
"Because there are too many corpses left over from the last battle, we can't consume them quickly in a short period of time."
"And in this kind of weather, even pickled corpses can't be preserved for a long time."
"So it's better to sell some to the orcs."
"As for those weapons and equipment, they were all cleared on the battlefield last time."
"However, the equipment in this transaction is almost all weapons and equipment from the Dwarves of the Iron Hills."
"We didn't have time to smelt, so we just sold a Modo and half orcs."
"Anyway, those guys have made it clear that they won't be picky about the equipment built by the dwarves."
The Grand Commander Red Fang, who was standing behind Ainz, immediately spoke.
"By the way, what was the number of wolves you negotiated last time?"
Ainz nodded and continued to ask.
"Report to the master, the number of wolves is two hundred."
"Among them, there are fifty young wolves, fifty adult female wolves, and one hundred adult male wolves."
"Based on the taming techniques provided by the orcs, it shouldn't take long for these adult wolves to come in handy."
Red Fang continued to speak.
"Well, this kind of wolf has good strength and reproduces quickly."
"The most important thing is that the IQ is also good."
"After the transaction comes back, it must be prioritized and cultivated!"
"Yes, master!"
Red Fang said in a respectful voice.
At this moment, a huge vampire bat flew from the city gate and screamed:
"Report to the master, the orc trading party has arrived outside the city gates."
"Oh, that's right!"
"Let's go, let's all go and see."
With that, Ainz spread his huge wings and flew straight towards the city gate.
The several monster commanders on the side also strode towards the city gate.
'Whew...'
The huge figure flew out of the interior of the underground kingdom with a powerful momentum.
'Bang! ’
The behemoth body landed outside the city gate.
"The host..."
"The host..."
The guards of the city gate shouted in succession.
"Your Majesty, the King of the Mountain!"
The orcs standing not far away, led by the leader Borg,
Immediately got down from the wolf and hurriedly shouted.
