The orc chieftain's right hand held the totem scepter and did not dare to let go, and looked sideways at the victor who won the decisive battle, "Distinguished guest, great warrior, you led the brave and good army of LinkedIn, opened the way with blood and killing, and rashly broke into the territory of the two major clans of Shixin and Tie E, what do you want to do?"

Aldrich Triss holds a blunt-headed heavy sword in his right hand, and flips his left hand like a trick to reveal a laurel wreath made of olive branches: "I bring the sword of war, the crown of peace, please do not let the olive branch slip from my hand." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Kruren Stoneheart's left hand touched the handle of Deathcry's axe again, but the back of his hand was pressed against two fingers together, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his ally Turta Iron, who shook his head lightly to signal the chief not to be impulsive.

Aldrich Triss knows the undercurrents beneath the table, and he believes that he can unleash enough kindness to turn the tide of things.

Consisting of two clans, a large tribe with a population of nearly 1,000 "tents" and a population of over 10,000, Kruren Stoneheart, who was elected chieftain, was quite respectful of the opinions of his allies. In the past, Turta Tie was in charge of tribal affairs, and the dual monarchy originated from the southern principalities.

"It's good to listen to it. The allies whispered an exhortation in the old orc language, and their earnest plea quenched the chief's anger at the loss of his brother.

Thinking of the embarrassment that the granary was about to bottom out and all the tribal warriors were about to go hungry, in order to take care of the overall situation, Kruren Shixin had to withdraw his left hand and forcibly squeeze out a smile against his will.

"Guests from afar have brought news of peace, and I would like to thank you and express my heartfelt gratitude!"

Aldrich Triss spread his hands forward, "We have a common enemy, the principalities in the south, which still use slave labor, form an alliance with blood oaths, blatantly provoke wars, and continue to conquer the evil archdukes who have invaded the countries of Middle-earth. ”

Kruren Shixin sighed and nodded his head in agreement, but he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy considering that he and his friend Turta Tie's tribe occupied the land of mountains.

"I am Aldrich Triss, a moderate abolitionist who was in favour of the abolition of slavery, and I have presided over and witnessed the collapse of rural serfdom in the three countries of the North Sea for five hundred years, and it is my tireless pursuit to liberate all slaves in the southern principalities and to make them free and equal. ”

Turta Tie'er applauded softly: "Great, what a great ideal! However, no matter how strong you are, it is difficult for you to pry this rocky mountain that spans thousands of years. ”

Aldrich Triss shook his head: "Abolish slavery, I am not fighting alone. There are many like-minded people who attract each other and gather together to form a powerful force, but of course they are not entirely well-intentioned, but also have their own interests. ”

Putting away his outstretched hands, the distinguished guest of the orc tribe explained unabashedly: "It is a well-known fact that serfs, laborers, and slaves have no personal freedom, and belong to the private property of slave owners. On the contrary, it is the personal freedom that is protected by the law, and when they enter the workshop and are paid for their work, they become focused, conscientious, and motivated to work and earn a good salary. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, deciding the outcome of a war has always been the cornerstone of the majority of society. It is clear that an equal number of industrial workers are far more efficient than enslaved laborers. The former is able to produce a steady stream of material wealth to cope with the drastic attrition of war, while the latter can imagine what will happen once the southern principalities' war reserves are depleted. ”

Turta Tie'er couldn't help but clench his fists, "Whip them to work day and night, and finally resist unbearably, and then ...... Then ......"

"Bloodslaughtered!" the orc chief added, knowing that his soft-hearted friend couldn't speak, and when Kruren Stoneheart spoke, a gloomy atmosphere grew.

Aldrich Triss gently waved his hand to dispel the gloomy aura that lingered around him, "In the past two hundred years, the Grand Duke of the South has taken nearly 10 million slaves from the Black Continent through triangular trade, and has run a backward plantation economy, maintaining their luxurious and depraved life without enterprising progress. ”

"I believe that the time has come to end slavery, in this unjust war, to completely defeat the slave owners in the South, and to liberate all slaves, laborers, serfs, ......"

The Knight of Virtue suddenly stood up, raised his arms and shouted, "Ladies and gentlemen, all men are created equal!"

Nearly three meters tall, even an orc must look up at the majestic body, burning golden hair, the victor of Makgora, even if a human said this, he won the cheers and approval of the nearby orc warriors on the spot.

The thunder roared one after another, and Ian McCallane stayed in the depths of the shield gun, still feeling uneasy, and frequently looked at Aldrich Triss.

Chief Kruren Stoneheart raised the totem scepter in his right hand and slammed it, and the heart-shaking crash of sparks instantly scattered everywhere, and the clamor of the tribal warriors slowly subsided, and they all realized how out of place it was to cheer for the declaration of humanity in the current situation.

Aldrich Tris, who had secretly burned the source of virtue to exert influence on the orcs, returned to his seat, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the scepter with a buffalo carving on the top was able to decipher his infectious positive energy suggestion, and it was obviously no ordinary spellcaster's curiosity.

Turta Iron leaned forward slightly, muttered for a moment, and turned to look at Aldrich Tris: "We will destroy the prisons built by the slave owners to imprison their compatriots, and save them from freedom. ”

"If we can help, it will be easier for you to do so, at least not at a high cost. ”

Kruren Shixin knew that this negotiation, which was a huge risk for both sides, finally got to the point, "Help! Maybe you don't know yet, the Shixin Clan and the Iron Forehead Clan are facing a big problem right now, and solving it will prove yours, or your strength. ”

Aldrich Triss nodded slightly: "It is said that the tribes of the Land of Mountains have nearly 10,000 warriors, but I only see about 4,700 people now, and most of the rest will not be out on a campaign, right?"

"What do you know?" said Turka Iron's face turned a little ugly, and he realized that his hole cards had been seen through by his opponent.

"I brought with me a large number of herbs, liquor mixed with absinthe, clean bandages wrapped in wounds, and powdered medicine to stop bleeding, all of which of course were not given away for free, at least the cost had to be recovered. ”

Krulen Stoneheart knew that this was a bargain, and his heart was much more relaxed, and he was most worried that the gratuitous gifts of human beings were often poisons wrapped in sweet sugar-coating.

"What do you want from our tribe?"

Turta Tie spoke his doubts on behalf of the chieftain, and it was true, except for the rudimentary hydraulic machinery that had been looted and looted, and the orcs had nothing but worthless copper and broken iron.

Aldrich Triss stretched out his hands and made a circle in front of him, "Our feet stand in the land of mountains, he is famous for producing all kinds of expensive forests and fruits of all seasons, but as far as I know, there are abundant coal resources and incredible reserves of iron ore under our feet. ”

"I come from the two countries where resources are scarce, and there is a strong complementarity between the needs of both sides, and I am very willing to act as an intermediary between the two sides, building a trade platform so that both sides can get the materials they need. Of course, I want to take 5 percent of the bilateral trade interests, and although the amount is small, the accumulation of small amounts is also a new source of income for my family. ”

When the Chief heard Aldrich Triss say that he wanted to go to five percent, it was like digging a piece of meat from his heart, but he also knew that no one would lead the trade without a generous incentive to do so.

Kruren Shixin nodded to his friend in agreement, and Turta Tie'er immediately asked, "Is it just a medicinal herb?"

Aldrich Triss smiled triumphantly, "Of course, there is food! It's just that the distance is long, and food is the most important link in the strategic reserve, and the recent prohibition of alcohol in Western Turkey will be too high for you to imagine." ”

The chief snorted silently, and Turka Tie's expression showed a disappointed expression, "No food means no sincerity, you don't want to fool us, right?"

Aldrich Triss withdrew his hands, "Even if the grain from the western soil, which is 5,000 kilometers away, is shipped out of the warehouse now and arrives in the country of mountains through secret channels, it will take at least ten days and half a month. It's better to move the target to a nearby ......"

He lifted his blunt-tipped heavy sword, and the warrior commander beside the chief sat up nervously, ready to attack, Aldrich Tris shook his head imperceptibly, and drew a simple topographic map with the tip of his sword on the hard ground in front of him.

"This is the Duchy of Maryland, with Sword Bay to the east and the Stormy Sea, Blackwater Marsh to the west, and Rocoville between the mountains to the south, now occupied by tribes of the two clans of Stoneheart and Ironfront. Further south is the southern principality of Virginy, a narrow strip of black pine forests that serve as a tacit buffer zone, bordering the Olabado Mountains, where the border armies of the two sides are in a constant standoff, waiting for the other sides to divide the battle lines in the other directions. ”

A few simple sword marks outline the situation in the gap between the two great powers, and when the chieftain Kruren Shixin and his friend Turta Tie'er saw this scene, they finally figured out the details of the local battle situation.

"Virginy's heavy troops are piled up on the front line, the rear is very empty, the elongated supply lines are burdened with the consumption of 150,000 border legionnaires, and there are twenty-seven supply transfer stations along the winding Emerald River, which originates in the Blue Ridge Mountains, piled up tons of grain and grass. Strike any of them and your tribe will be supplied enough to survive the long winter, and along the way, save a lot of orc labor. ”

"An Expedition!" Chief Kruren Shixin was well aware of the strategy offered by the powerful human warriors, and if he followed the plan, he would inevitably lose his relative neutrality and side with the northern human kingdom.

However, is there a choice? The slave owners of the southern principalities regarded the orcs as fugitive slaves, hated the clans they formed, and spared no effort to attack the various tribes.

Kruren Stone Heart glanced at his friends, then at his loyal commanders, and looked up at the orcs scattered across the mountains, and sighed helplessly, he realized that there was really no better choice.

"For the Horde!"
