Chapter 35: Survival with a Broken Tail

Batlló's forces were stretched thin, and he was in a hurry.

And the second elder was also unusual, and he didn't fall into Batllor's ground, after all, he took the initiative to ask to send a large army to bite the Terran bait in the east, and looking at the strength of the Terran race, even after defeating the village, he still had the strength to eat his level 5 camp, so he frowned.

"Great Elder, you have a way!" The three elders couldn't sit still in a hurry.

"The third child, what are you urging! Don't you see the Great Elder trying to figure it out! The Fifth Elder said.

"Not in a hurry? The Terrans are about to hit you, aren't you in a hurry? The four elders were also anxious.

The fifth elder blushed: "You think I'm not in a hurry, it's too late to surrender now, the human race has come in." ”

Batlo suddenly stopped and turned to stare at the fifth elder: "Old Five, what did you just say?" ”

"Huh?!" The Fifth Elder didn't react for a moment.

"You repeat what you just said." Batlló glared at the five elders with a burning eye.

"Uh, I said we're all in a hurry, and the Terrans are in." The Fifth Elder said a little apprehensively.

"No, there's one more sentence!" Batlo walked quickly up to the five elders, "Say it quickly! ”

"I mean...... Say we even surrender...... It's useless, big brother, I don't want to surrender! I just want to..... I want to express that meaning. "The fifth elder can't wait to slap his mouth, he shouldn't say this kind of thing, shake the army's heart and leave a handle for others, this immortal third is already looking at him with the eyes of a fool.

"Very good, you have a good idea! I've got a way! Batlló suddenly patted the fifth elder on the shoulder happily, so frightened that the five elders didn't know how to answer, is this the opposite? Is it going to have to be stabbed next?

"What do you mean, Great Elder?" The Second Elder still knew the Great Elder well, and at first he thought that the Great Elder was angry and laughed, but immediately he realized that he was wrong.

"What do you mean? We surrender! Batlló said casually.

"What! Are you crazy? The second elder and the third elder immediately took the case.

"Great Elder, isn't this appropriate?" Even the Seventh Elder of the Great Elder faction felt that it was inappropriate.

"Hmph, second and third, do you think we can still stop the Terrans?" Batlló asked.

"Reinforcements are coming soon, as long as you support it for a while, you will be saved!" The three elders immediately replied.

"Do we have a moment and a half?" Batlló was aggressive, "Besides, can you guarantee that you will be able to win the Terran battle when the reinforcements arrive?" ”

"This ......" the others looked at each other.

"And don't forget our mission." Batlló looked around at the crowd, "If this village were to be robbed by the Terrans, you should all be able to imagine the consequences. ”

"But if we surrender, won't we also be occupied by the Terrans?"

Batlo laughed, "Who said that surrender must be surrendered to the Terrans?" We can spend money to make peace. ”

"Brilliant plan! The Great Elder's plan is good! The four elders immediately patted Batlló's ass.

The Third Elder and the Fifth Elder glanced at the Second Elder, waiting for the Second Elder to express their expression.

The Second Elder pondered slightly, and nodded in agreement, after all, this was the method with the least loss, and because the management of most of the funds was in the Great Elder's faction, even if it was distributed equally, his loss would not be too large.

"But what if the Terrans don't agree to occupy our territory?" The Third Elder asked.

"Hmph, if that's the case, it's a big deal that we will break the net and let Andus desperately break through the territory of the Terrans, and destroy all the tunnels at the same time!" Batll said with a murderous look in his eyes.

After a few moments of deliberation, the Elders finally decided on the policy of surrender and peace, and at the same time began to make arrangements, starting with mobilizing all the troops, even civilians, to stop the Terran army.

And it didn't take long for Lu Chengcheng to find that the situation in the kobold village had become weird, and he saw that the kobold troops drove the kobold civilians towards the militia, and they didn't care about the casualties of the civilians at all, it was simply a desperate fight.

"This group of kobolds must be crazy and pushing civilians to the front!" Lia said unhappily, she had been bombarding the kobold team indiscriminately, but suddenly the kobold drove the civilians to the front of the team to make shields, and the magic she smashed over couldn't withstand the kobold army at all, but the civilians were greatly harmed. And because the casualties caused by Lu Cheng's attack were only a small part, more of the injuries suffered when they were forced forward by the kobold army, and suddenly the entire front line was filled with the wails of kobold civilians.

"Alas, my lord, I hope you will do as little harm to these civilians as possible." Ramyra IV was also very unbearable to see such a tragic situation, if he hadn't taken refuge in the Terrans at the first time, maybe the Ramyra tribe would have been added to the Lamyra tribe who was forced to die at this time.

"I'll do my best, but you have to understand that I'm taking responsibility for the lives of my soldiers first." Lu Cheng said in embarrassment.

"I understand." Ramira IV nodded with difficulty, he also saw Lu Cheng's efforts, but the kobold army was too despicable, even if the Terran soldiers tried to minimize the harm to civilians, there were hundreds of civilian casualties in more than ten minutes. And this is still a situation where the Terran soldiers showed mercy and even paid a high price themselves, but he watched Lu Cheng ask the mage who protected him closely, Leya, to stop the spell bombardment, in order to reduce the casualties of civilians, after all, the power of spells is too powerful.

Just when Lu Cheng was thinking about countermeasures, suddenly a streamer came at him!

"Be careful, sir!" Liya immediately released the magic shield in front of Lu Cheng.

Bang~

A red fireball slammed into the magic shield that had just formed in front of Lu Cheng, and the splashed sparks ignited the collapsed tent next to him.

"I didn't expect to meet a magician in such a remote place!" As she spoke, Leah added a magic shield in front of herself.

Whew~Whew~

Several more fireballs flew over and hit the magic shield.

"But unfortunately, according to the strength of the spell, the caster is at most a third-order mage!" Leah said dismissively.

Lu Cheng calmly watched as the fireballs smashed on the shield and then disappeared, he believed in Liya's strength, these fireballs seemed to be powerful, but for him who had seen Liya release fireballs, he could see at a glance that the strength of the spellcaster was much weaker than Liya.

Looking in the direction where the fireball flew, I saw a group of gorgeously dressed kobolds on a piece of high ground, led by kobolds who were holding a staff to cast spells, and this group of kobolds was protected by hundreds of kobold soldiers, obviously the high-ranking kobolds.

"Lord Lord, there are members of the Kobold Elders' Council over there, they rule over all the kobolds in this area, and the one headed by is Grand Elder Batll, who is a high-ranking magician." Ramyra IV knew the Elders, as he had almost been able to join the Council of Elders at the height of his race.

"As far as I know, kobold mages are quite rare, and the conditions here don't make it possible to produce mages." Leah asked.

"Yes, because Batlló is not a kobold born here, he is the administrator sent by the kobold clan, and in addition to him, there are two elders who are also sent by the kobold, speaking of which, our kobold clan has only moved here for a few generations." Ramira IV explained.

"It's funny, the most important mage among the kobolds would be sent to such a small place where birds don't." Leah said thoughtfully.

"I don't know why, because kobolds are hierarchical, and that's all I know." Ramira IV said ashamedly.

"My lord, judging by the spells and attack frequency released by the other party, this kobold spellcaster is not using all his strength, or that he is just harassing us, or rather, that he is trying to get our attention." Leah said.

Just as Leah finished speaking, an adventurer ran over: "Lord Lord, the kobolds have sent us a message saying that their elder group wants to negotiate with us. ”

"Negotiations? What to talk about? I guess I want to stall for time. Lu Cheng said with interest, although he was disgusted by the tactics of the civilian shield, but with the advantage of equipment, it was a matter of time before he defeated the opponent.

"Uh...... My lord, the other party said that he was going to surrender. The adventurer wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't tell the kobold the kobold's original words just now, but passed on his interpretation to the lord.

Lu Cheng pondered for a while, ordered the troops to continue the attack to prevent fraud, and also planned to listen to what the kobold wanted to say.

On the front line covered with corpses, Lu Cheng, who was protected by Chiyan and Leya in the middle, met the kobold elder group.

"Human Lord, it looks like you still can't trust us." Batlló didn't expect that although the human lord was willing to come over to talk, he didn't stop attacking, only the two sides of this short negotiation remained tense, and the other places were still murderous.

Moreover, there are too many magic shields in front of Lu Cheng.

"If it were you, I don't think you would have believed in the enemy's integrity." Lu Cheng had an expression of believing that you are a fool.

"You misunderstood, our clan is really willing to surrender." Batll didn't panic either, he had expected this situation a long time ago, there was hope that the Terran lord would come if he wanted to, and then it would be up to him to see if the carrot and stick worked.

"Since you say you are sincere, let your troops lay down their arms and surrender." Lu Cheng said unceremoniously.

"Hehe, my lord, you misunderstood." Batlló put on a flattering smile, "I mean our surrender to the reparations, but not to submit to you. ”

"Reparations? Not Converting? Lu Cheng didn't expect the NPC to play this, and he didn't react immediately.

"That's right, presumably Lord Lord, you think that our clan intends to unite with the robbers to be against you, in fact, our clan just wants to deceive the robbers to make them believe it, and does not really want to target you and your territory, just like the spell I cast just now, although it seems to be against you, but we know that it can't really hurt you. Taking a step back, if you really settle the situation with us, the troops on the front who do not know the situation may mistakenly think that there is an irreconcilable huge contradiction between our two sides, and if they continue to destroy or even destroy your territory, our sin will be great. Batlló said "sincerely."

It's funny, NPCs are going to turn around and threaten people!
