438 The lion opened his mouth
Dante casually glanced at the list thrown by the blood elf, and after a quick look, he knew that there were twice as many supplies in this list as last time. He handed the list to Gade, who was standing beside him, and said, "Gade, take a look." ”
"Yes, master!" Gad took the list and began to look at it carefully.
"Hmph......" Dante snorted angrily, completely disappointed in the blood elf's discipline, and said to Romans, "Lord Romans, I can't understand what His Majesty Kael'thas means. ”
"......" Romance seems to know that he is at a loss, but this is all a matter of you going back and forth, fighting openly and secretly, and there is no concept of "shameless". He smiled and said, "Lord Dante, I need to explain this to you. This list was asked by His Majesty to hand it over to you. I have come to visit you, and I am also here to negotiate with you on behalf of Silvermoon City. ”
"I know." Dante nodded and said, "The two countries are in exchange, and the envoy is not guilty." But, Lord Romans, don't you think it's time to explain the list? What do you mean by that list you gave me earlier? ”
Romans seemed to be overwhelmed by Dante's question, but as a blood elf messenger, he had to say it. So, after a short silence, he seemed to have made up his mind to a showdown, and said, "Lord Dante, to tell you the truth, the Holy Light City has made very generous conditions for us and invited us to join the alliance. His Majesty Kael'thas is now in a difficult situation, as the king of a country, he must think about his own people, but, after all, ......"
"After all, we were allies, right?" Dante unceremoniously interrupted Romans. "I'm glad that His Majesty Kael'thas remembers having me as a friend. Hehe......"
"Mistress Dante......" said Romans, smiling slightly awkwardly, "that's what happened. If you can agree to provide this list and ......"
"What? And? Dante hears the word "and". Suddenly feeling the anger rushing to the door of his head, he sat up straight, and asked sharply, "Lord Romans, you are not mistaken, are you?" This list, plus the previous one? ”
"Yes......" Romans must speak out at this time, even if he is at a loss. That's what Your Majesty means. If you ...... "
"That's it!" Dante suppressed his anger and did not come out. Once again, he unceremoniously interrupted the Blood Elf's words and said, "This matter is too sudden. Please give us a moment to think about it. ”
"Of course. Of course! Romans took over and said, "However, the time limit given to me by His Majesty is not long. When will you be able to reply? ”
"Hehe, what?" Dante sneered and asked, seeing the blood elf's anxious appearance. "Could it be that His Majesty Kael'thas would like to reply today?"
"Mistress Dante. If that's the case, it's the best. Romans actually stopped hiding and began to say straight to the point, "Because some of the gifts from the Holy Light City have already been sent to Silvermoon City." His Majesty Kael'thas didn't want to accept it because he hadn't received a reply from you yet, but the attitude of the Holy Light City seemed to be very resolute. His Majesty is also in a difficult situation now. ”
"Okay, no problem!" Dante thought to himself, it seems that it is better to have an early showdown, and it will not take long to discuss it with Gade.
"Well, how about I stay in the castle tonight?" Romans was not polite, and said directly, "I hope to be able to communicate with Lord Dante at any time." This time I came to visit you, and the task that His Majesty gave me must have results, and I don't want it to drag on for too long. ”
"Okay! Gad! Dante readily agreed to Romans' request, and said to Gade, who was still looking at the list of supplies, "Gade, arrange accommodation for Lord Romans, and make sure that it is of the highest standard." ”
"Yes, master!" Gade bowed to Dante, quickly put away the list, and said to Romans, "Please come with me." It led Romans out of the little living room.
“…… Damn it! Dante watched as Romans walked out of the living room, sat down on the sofa chair, and began to think about how to recover the blood elves.
To be honest, the great strength of the blood elves is well recognized. After seeing the prosperity of Silvermoon City, Dante felt that it was still positive to maintain an alliance with the Blood Elves.
But......
"Master ......" Just when Dante was upset, Gade walked back into the small living room. It walked quickly up to Dante and said, "Romans has already arranged for food and lodging." ”
"Have you read the list?" Dante asked Gade, "Estimate, how much do you need for the two lists?" ”
"The host...... Uh......" Gade seemed to be more embarrassed by Dante's question, and said hesitantly, "Master, I have probably done the math." The two lists of blood elves, taken together, are almost equal to all the treasures we brought from Black Dragon Island last time. ”
"What? How many of them? Dante heard Gade's words and his mouth opened wide in surprise, not knowing what to say.
"Master, you are not mistaken." Seeing Dante's stunned, Gade helped his pumpkin head and said, "The blood elves are really too much this time. ”
"......" Dante fell silent, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking about what to do with the blood elves.
To give? It feels too aggrieved, and it's too demanding.
Don't give? The Demon King Army has actually united with the Black Dragon Army, and even if it loses the cooperation of Silver Moon City, the loss will not be very fatal. Besides, Dante has already gone through the order with the Black Dragon Princess, and saved the King and Queen of the Black Dragon, this relationship can be regarded as a family.
However, Dante always felt that if Silvermoon City really joined the alliance, it would be equivalent to planting a time bomb in the north of his territory, and even if it did not explode immediately, he had to be on guard at all times, and a large number of troops would be involved.
In the long run, this situation is unfavorable to the Demon King Army, which means that the Demon King Army is surrounded by the alliance.
Dante thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a suitable countermeasure, so he could only say to Gade: "This is the case today." We've just come back from the Black Dragon, and it's too sudden to be decided casually. ”
"Master, what about Romans?" Ged asked.
Dante sneered and said, "Let him stay in the castle for a few days." ”
"How?" When Gade heard Dante's answer, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and hurriedly said, "The two countries are fighting, don't kill them!" ”
"Did I say I was going to kill him again?" Dante replied, "Since Kael'thas wants Romans to go back with the result, let him be fulfilled." Let Romans stay in the castle for a few days, and let his men go back and report the news. ”
"Alright...... Gad nodded, "just do as you want." ”
So, at Dante's behest, Roman was forced to "live" in the castle and let the Blood Elves who followed him return to Silvermoon City to report the news first.
However, Romans himself seems to have shown a rare understanding of Dante's decision. He didn't have any doubts at all, and simply agreed to Gade's invitation to live, Dante wouldn't treat him badly anyway, and what Dante didn't expect was that Romans didn't even ask how long the time limit was.
This can be regarded as giving Dante a face.
……
The next day, there was nothing special about the Demon King Army, but Dante and Gade recalculated the two lists given by the blood elves and calculated the exact scale of supplies. Indeed, the Blood Elves are really lions' mouths, and these two lists just cancel out all the treasures brought from the Black Dragon Treasure Island.
"Master, this is too exaggerated!" Gade looked at the final calculation results and said to Dante in surprise, "I don't believe that the Holy Light City can give so much money. ”
Dante sneered and said to Gade, "How can there be so many? The City of Light may only give half of it. The blood elves took advantage of the fire to rob. ”
Gade listened to his speculation, thought for a moment, and asked, "Master, is it possible that the blood elves have already investigated us in advance and know that we are in a lot of trouble now?" ”
"Trouble? Don't talk nonsense! Dante shook his head and said disapprovingly, "If it was the last time we gave the list, we were really unsure, and now?" We've built a good relationship with the Black Dragon Legion! (To be continued.) )
