Luo Yi didn't expect the outsiders who had helped them to have such an attitude, and he was a little angry in his heart.

"Mr. Arbiter, if you are going to do so, I will not be able to do so." Luo Yi glared at Lu Cheng angrily.

Lu Cheng laughed and said, "Patriarch Luo, don't be angry, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

A soldier wearing a long sword said, "The village of Kolo will never be yours!" ”

"Mr. Arbiter, I advise you to put away your illusions, maybe we can talk about cooperation."

"We, the village of Kolo, have not yielded to the Wyvern, nor to the orcs, even if we are of the same race, we will not be able to submit to you!"

......

Lu Cheng provoked the anger of the public, and the people in Koluo Village were indignantly criticized, Li Tiezhu saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to get up and draw his sword to block the front, Lu Cheng stretched out a hand and pressed it on his shoulder and patted it, signaling him not to be impulsive.

After appeasing Li Tiezhu, Lu Cheng got up slowly, and when everyone in Koluo Village gradually calmed down and looked at him, Lu Cheng cleared his throat.

"Good!" Lu Cheng raised his voice, "You guys have a lot of backbone, I admire it." ”

"However, I want to ask you, any of you have been out of Misty Island, do you know what the outside world is like now?"

Lu Cheng pointed to a person in the crowd: "You know what? ”

The man wanted to say something, but was glared back by Lu Cheng, and could only shake his head hesitantly.

"What about you? Do you know? Lu Cheng pointed to another one.

The man shook his head.

"If any of you know, please stand up."

Everyone looked at each other, didn't it make it clear that no one had ever gone out.

"Mr. Arbiter, I told you before that we have been trapped for so many years and no one has ever gone out, so it makes no sense for you to ask this question." Luo Yi said unhappily.

Lu Cheng nodded: "Patriarch Luo, you are right, I asked you why you want to leave Misty Island before, and the main reason you told me is that there are two reasons, the first is safety, and the second is the living environment. ”

"Unfortunately, the safety you want doesn't exist outside of the Misty Isles! In fact, no place I've ever been to is safe, and wars are happening all the time outside of the Misty Isles. ”

"Don't you deceive us, there are all resources in the outside world, why war?" A somewhat young district representative retorted.

Lu Cheng said: "My territory has not been at war for a week since its inception, and the other Chosen One around me are also fighting every week or even every day, and the island where I am located is not safe from east to west or from south to north, even if there is a constant war between principalities with a population of more than 100,000, so I don't think you can find safety when you leave Misty Island, you won't really be naïve to think that there is no war outside Misty Island." ”

"This ......," the young district representative was momentarily speechless.

"I can testify for the lord, I have participated in many battles since joining the territory, and the outside world is really not as safe as you think, even if it is as powerful as the lord, the territory has been attacked by powerful enemies." Li Tiezhu said loudly.

Li Tiezhu's words caused a huge response, and the people of Kolo Village discussed it enthusiastically, after all, they have always wanted to leave Misty Island since their ancestors, and so many generations have passed it down orally, and they have an extremely optimistic attitude towards the external environment, so Lu Cheng and Li Tiezhu's words deeply stimulated them.

"You are talking nonsense, can you show proof of it?" One of the older district representatives was excited.

"Nonsense? Okay, if you want proof, I have it too. Li Tiezhu shouted outside the door, "Zhao Si, Lin Gui, you bring the brothers in." ”

"What are you going to do?" The people of Kolo Village are not calm.

"Don't you want proof, I'll show you." Li Tiezhu pointed to the elite militiamen who had entered the council hall in two columns.

Li Tiezhu respectfully saluted Lu Cheng: "My lord, forgive my subordinates for being reckless." ”

"It's okay, do what you want." Lu Cheng probably understood what Li Tiezhu was going to do.

"Yes." After Li Tiezhu finished speaking, he turned around and ordered the militia lined up in two columns, "You guys put down all your equipment, take off your shirts, and let them see how cruel the outside world is." ”

"Yes!"

Bang dang ~ bang dang ~

The militiamen threw their swords and shields to the ground in neat movements, and the elite militiamen were all dressed in dwarven steel armor, which was relatively cumbersome to wear, and they needed the help of others to remove them, so they worked in pairs to help each other remove the steel armor, and soon the upper body of the thirty militiamen was naked.

Hiss~

The people of Kolo Village gasped.

None of the militiamen's upper body was intact, each militiaman was scarred, some of them had seven or eight scars, and some of them had dozens of wounds, so you can imagine how many battles these militiamen had experienced, and what kind of vicious battles they had experienced, even if Kolo Village faced the attack of the dragons and orcs, the garrison had not fought decently, and there was no comparison.

"Zhao Si, how many battles have you participated in?" Li Tiezhu pointed to a militiaman at the head of the platoon who was about 1.8 meters tall and had a national face.

"6 battles!"

"Lin Gui, what about you?"

"6 battles!"

"What about you?"

"5 times."

......

After Li Tiezhu finished asking, he pointed to all the militia and said to the people in Koluo Village: "Do you hear, my subordinates have participated in at least 3 battles, and do you know how long they have been in the army?" The longest is only one month! ”

The people of Kolo Village talked about it again, but this time they obviously believed it seven or eight points, of course, there were still doubters.

The older district representative still didn't believe it: "It's all you say, unless you ...... it with your own eyes."

"Enough!"

Luo Yi interrupted the district representative's words and waved his hand to silence the others: "Mr. Arbiter, even if what you said is true, you have also seen our current situation, the orcs and flying dragons always threaten the lives of our people, and there is a shortage of food and clothing on the island, everyone is starving, even if it is not safe outside, at least the living conditions are still better than here, right?" ”

Lu Cheng asked the elite militia to retreat, and looked at Patriarch Luo Yi with a smile: "Patriarch Luo, you are right, so I just said that I will provide you with security, and I can transport food and necessary materials over to ensure that you can live a comfortable life." ”

"How do you provide security?"

"Do you know what boat I came in?" The corners of Lu Cheng's mouth rose.

"What ship?"

"Battleship, a 400-ton battleship!"

The people of Kolo Village are in a commotion again, although they have been away from civilized society for hundreds of years, the knowledge passed down from generation to generation makes them still know a little bit about the outside, and what the battleship is doing They know very well in their hearts, the 400-ton battleship is not small, and their Kolo village is by the sea, if Lu Chengzhen drives the battleship over......

If the other party wants to fight and kill, they are powerless.

Lu Cheng saw that the people of Koluo Village were a little afraid, so he added a little more fierce news: "Moreover, this is not the largest level of warship I have, there are thousand-ton warships in my territory, and the number of soldiers is close to 3,000." ”

A thousand-ton warship?

Luo Yi felt that he must be hallucinating, if there was really such a huge ship, it would definitely be easy to enter and exit Misty Island from the window period, after all, the larger the ship, the stronger the ability to resist wind and waves. But when he saw Lu Cheng's confident expression, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, if the other party was really so powerful, as long as he sent a few warships to stop in the sea off Kolo Village, a few rounds of artillery bombardment would be enough to destroy the defense force of Kolo Village, and the other party's soldiers were more well-equipped, and it would be easier to level Kolo Village.

Lu Cheng looked at Luo Yi with a cloudy face, but he was wondering in his heart whether the system would agree to let Kolo Village merge into his forces, after all, if he took Kolo Village so easily, his strength would be greatly enhanced, and it would form an overwhelming advantage over other players.

Sure enough, after a while, Luo Yi spoke.

"Dear Arbiter, thank you very much for your kindness, but our people have been living in Misty Island for hundreds of years, and their knowledge of the outside world is extremely limited, and the matter of joining your forces needs to be considered in the long run."

That's what rejection means.

Lu Cheng didn't feel disappointed, in fact, he would be surprised if Luo Yi agreed directly.

"Patriarch Luo is far-sighted, I understand your concerns, in order to express your sincerity, you can listen to my proposal before considering it." Lu Cheng reasoned his thoughts, "First of all, I will send warships to garrison the sea off Kolo Village for a long time, once the orcs attack Kolo Village, my warship will fully assist you in repelling the orcs, and if you can agree, I can also send the army to assist you in defending." ”

"Secondly, I will give you all-round military assistance, providing 1,500 sets of weapons and equipment at one time, and I will do my best to give you if you need others. Then, I will assist you with all kinds of production and living materials you need, including 30,000 sets of food and 3,000 sets of meat per month, and 5,000 sets of wood and other kinds of production materials every month. ”

Lu Cheng felt that the eyes of the people in Kolo Village were red: "In the end, I promise to help you defeat the orcs within 2 months, and let the people of Kolo Village safely walk out of the 20-kilometer safe zone within 4 months without worrying about the attack of the flying dragon." ”

After Lu Cheng finished speaking, he quietly looked at the people from Keluo Village opposite.

The silence of the pin drop can be heard.

Then there was the sound of heavy breathing.

The people of Kolo Village blushed and stared at Lu Cheng without blinking, confirming that they had heard correctly.

Then gradually some people began to turn their heads to look at the patriarch Luo Yi.

And Luo Yi was obviously holding back, his lips were tightly pursed, and his eyeballs were slightly bulging.

The system doesn't freeze.

Lu Cheng speculated maliciously.

"What do you want?" After holding back for a long time, Luo Yi finally squeezed out a sentence, "You gave so much, what do you want in Kolo Village?" ”

Don't be stupid, Lu Cheng silently nodded 666 likes in his heart.

"It's very simple, the misty island is rich in resources, and I hope that Kolo Village will provide resources after it is returned." Lu Cheng waved his hand to suppress Luo Yi, who was about to refuse again, "I know your difficulties, otherwise, if I can fulfill the promise I made just now, how about you join my forces in 6 months?" ”

Lu Cheng figured out the bottom line of the system, and just referred to Sang Laiguo's practice to give a compromise plan.

"Let's talk about it for a day and then we'll get back to you."

Luo Yi said after exchanging glances with the others.

Lu Cheng was not in a hurry: "Okay, I hope to hear good news and say goodbye!" ”

Lu Cheng left the council chamber with all the militiamen, saying that there was hope as long as they were willing to consider it.
