Adulthood: War Chapter 58: Parliament, Armistice

A verdant forest, in the middle and outer forests.

Two goblin horsemen riding black wolves were patrolling the various paths in the forest, and after the two horsemen had been patrolling for a long time and did not find anything unusual, they rode their mounts in the direction of their army's station.

"There is still no movement on the human side today......"

"yes, I don't know what they're up to, they haven't attacked the middle and outer forests again since the last battle. ”

............

The Goblin Army Garrison, one of which is considered a large tent in the garrison.

In the tent, the Goblin Warrior Leader and the Shaman sat in the left seat, while the Orc Warriors such as Chibald and Temo sat on the right seat, and in front of them stood the Goblin Chief, who was discussing the next move of the Combine.

It's been ten days since our goblins last fought a combined army of orcs and humans, elves, and dwarves, and during that time the combined forces have not attacked our central and outlying forests again, but have been silent......

"I wonder what the humans, dwarves, and elves will do next?"

A goblin warrior with a claw-shaped scar on his face sitting in the seat on the left said to the people around him, holding his chin with his left hand, slightly distressed.

"Maybe they're brewing their next plan to attack us......" Chief Warrior Chief, who was sitting with a claw-shaped scar on his face, said thoughtfully.

"Or maybe they really disagree at this time, and they are discussing the council just like we are now. Captain Dutt, who was sitting in the front seat, turned to the two Warrior Commanders.

"But who knows what happened to the Combine, maybe they're going to cease fighting?" said a somber-looking goblin warrior leader sitting in the back seat.

"Probably... Presumably, the combined army of humans, elves, and dwarves was waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and once their reinforcements reached their camp, the next attack would begin. ”

Hearing the words of the warrior commander behind me, who had a slightly muffled voice, I unconsciously touched my chin with my left hand and said in a flat tone.

The patriarch standing on the platform as soon as I finished speaking, the other warrior leaders sitting beside and behind me, and the orc warriors of Chibald and Temo all turned their eyes on me.

"If only that were the case!, I can't resist the urge to fight those dwarven warriors again!!" Chibald's voice was a little fanatical, and there was a desire to fight in his tone.

"Please calm down a little bit, Captain, and don't forget that we're still in a meeting. Temo, who was sitting in the seat next to Chibald, kindly reminded Chibald.

"You're so long-winded, Temo, are you going to fight me when we return to our race's territory?"

Hearing Temo's reminder, Chibald frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice, and Temo heard what Chibald said, Temo had to stop saying something.

"That's true... Tut, if you do what you say. The Combine are waiting for their reinforcements to arrive, and when they do, they will launch their next attack on us without delay......" The patriarch standing on the platform said with a serious face as I said this.

"So we also need reinforcements on our side!, Patriarch, why don't you let me bring all the goblin cavalry cavalry in the cavalry camp who can participate in the battle to the garrison?!" Captain Guga, who was sitting next to me, immediately stood up and said solemnly after hearing what the patriarch said.

"No... Wait and see, the risk of mobilizing our reinforcements may be too great, and once the rear garrison is empty and the Combine forces suddenly attack our rear at this time, the situation will really become very serious!"

Hearing Gu Jia's proposal, the patriarch stretched out the index finger of his left hand and shook it, vetoing Gu Jia's proposal.

"Then we can only wait and see what happens?" Gu Jia asked helplessly, as he spread his hands and looked at the patriarch standing on the platform.

"Yes, we can only wait and see. The patriarch nodded and said firmly.

For a moment everyone in the tent was silent, not me, Guga, Dutt, the other warriors, nor even Chibald, who had always been quiet, at this time did not know what to say.

............

Verdant forest, the junction of the middle and outer forests and the outer forests.

In the forest more than two hundred meters away from the Combine camp, three Goblin warriors were standing on the branches of a large forest at this time, each of them using the lookout glasses in their hands to observe the movement of the garrison army inside the Combine camp in the distance.

The three goblin warriors had been observing the area for several days, during which time the garrison in the Combine camp had not made any offensive moves, but the Combine was surprisingly calm in the Combine camp.

Except for the human soldiers of the Combine who went into the forest to hunt for food in order to kill animals, there was no movement......

While the three goblins were still observing the Combine camp with the goblins in their goggles, a male elf with a gloomy expression walked into the forest where the three goblin warriors were hiding, followed by a human soldier in armor with a stern expression, and a muscular, bearded dwarven warrior.

"Hey, look at that!" a goblin warrior standing on a branch immediately alerted his companion when he saw the three men in his field of vision.

Hearing the reminder of their companions, the other two warriors put down the lookout glasses in their hands and looked down at the three people who walked into their field of vision, and the moment they saw the three people, the expressions of the two goblin warriors became very serious.

"Come out! I know you're there! We have no ill intentions, we're just here to deliver a message! If you want to hear it, show up!" Suddenly, the dwarven warrior of the three shouted into the silent forest ahead.

Hearing the words of the dwarven warrior, the three goblin warriors standing on the branch of the tree became confused, do they want to show up? They said they were just here to deliver a message... But who knows if it's a trap or not?

"We're here!" called out one of the three goblin warriors, the more daring one, to the three not far from the tree.

The dwarven warriors, human soldiers, and male elves each looked at the trees when they heard the sound coming from the trees, and when they saw the three goblins standing on the branches, the stubble-covered dwarven warriors laughed.

"Oh, you're finally showing up! I have to say you're very bold!!"

Hearing what the dwarven warrior said, the three goblin warriors' faces sank, and after the three of them nodded to each other, they took out the short crossbow they were carrying, stuck the crossbow string, loaded the crossbow arrows, and aimed them at the three people under the tree.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, calm down, okay!!, we're just here to deliver a message from above, there's no need to make it like this, right?!"

Seeing the three goblins with short crossbows aimed at them, the dwarven warrior hurriedly shouted as an explanation, while the human soldiers and male elves beside him took out their weapons and made a posture of being ready to fight.

"What's the news?!Are you Combine planning to attack us again?!" a goblin warrior standing on a tree branch screamed hysterically.

"It's not that we want to attack you again! Our combined forces are going to retreat, that is, they won't fight! Do you hear that? Our combined forces are all going to retreat, that is to say, there is a truce!!"

Faced with the questioning of the goblin warrior standing on the branch, the dwarven warrior replied in the slightest voice.

"Why talk so much nonsense with them, hey, goblins! You'll know what to do with this letter, but remember, this letter must be given to your patriarch. Got it?"

As soon as the dwarven warrior finished speaking, the male elf standing next to the dwarven warrior spoke impatiently as he held the folding bow he had carried around his body.

I saw that the male elf took out an arrow from the quiver he was carrying behind him, put the arrow on the bowstring, and saw him slowly pull the bowstring, and when the bowstring was completely pulled away by him, the male elf instantly let go of the left hand holding the bowstring.

The next second, the arrow shot towards the tree where the three goblin warriors were standing, and the male elf turned and walked out of the forest after doing what he had just done.

"What are you waiting for?"

Seeing that the human soldiers and dwarven warriors who came with him were still slow to move, the male elf turned his head to the two and said angrily.

Hearing the male elf's unangry words, the human soldier and the dwarven warrior smiled a little distressedly, and then followed the male elf out of the forest and walked in the direction of the Combine camp.

When the human soldiers, dwarven warriors, and male elves had already left the forest, the three goblin warriors who were still vigilant standing on the branches of the big tree slowly lowered their guard.

Looking at the arrow inserted only a few centimeters away from him, the goblin warrior standing close to the branch next to the tree trunk looked a little bad, the arrow just now was shot by the male elf, I have to say that the male elf's archery skills are really very sophisticated.

The arrow had a paper cylinder resembling a small cylinder tied to it, and the goblin warrior who was closer to the trunk of the tree removed the arrow from the trunk when he saw the object tied to the arrow.

"Let's go!" the goblin warrior said decisively to his companion after removing the small paper barrel strapped to the arrow.

Hearing what their companion said, the other two goblin warriors were the first to climb down from the tree and walk in the direction of the goblin army's station, while the goblin warrior with the letter followed closely in the footsteps of his companions......

* * * * * *

The Goblin Army is stationed in a large tent.

The Patriarch of the tent was still discussing the so-called Council with us warrior leaders, shamans, and the orc warriors of Chibald and Temo, when a nervous goblin warrior ran in from outside the tent and said solemnly.

"Report! The soldiers scouting the Combine camp in the outer forests have important news to report to the Patriarch!"

Hearing the warrior's words, everyone in the tent looked at him, and the faces of the patriarchs, shamans, and us, the warrior leaders, as well as the orc warriors of Chibald, who were still discussing the sudden situation, were suddenly full of doubt.

"Let him in. The patriarch said decisively to the nervous-looking goblin warrior.

"Hey, it's time to come in!!" Hearing the patriarch order the nervous-looking goblin warrior to turn around and shout out the tent door.

As soon as he had finished speaking, a sweaty goblin warrior walked into the tent, and when he saw the chiefs, warrior leaders, shamans, and orc warriors in the tent, he fell to his knees respectfully.

"Okay, what news do you have to report?" said the patriarch with a slight frown and a serious tone.

"Patriarch, the Combine's side has sent an emissary to make contact with a few of our soldiers who are scouting the Combine's camp. They said that the whole Combine was going to retreat and would no longer fight us...... And this is a letter brought by the commander of the coalition forces. ”

Hearing the Goblin Warrior's words, the faces of everyone in the tent turned incredulous, and even I was a little surprised, and while we were all still startled, the warrior took a small round paper tube out of his arms.

"Is this the letter brought by the commander of the Coalition Army?" asked the patriarch subconsciously when he saw the small round paper tube in the soldier's hand.

"Yes. The warrior holding the small round paper tube nodded and said.

"Then open it and tell us what the letter is about. The patriarch said to the half-kneeling warrior with concern.

"Good!"

As he spoke, the warrior opened the small round paper tube in his hand with both hands and took out the note inside, only to see him open the folded note and hold it smoothly in his hand.

"To the evil and lowly goblins and the orcs who only know how to fight. We've been fighting the Combine for some time with your Goblin and Orc Resistance in this war, and to be honest, you've surprised us a little this time, we've seen something amazing in this war......"

“...... But our combined forces have to stop fighting with you at this time, and for some reason we have to withdraw at this moment. - Elves and dwarves to the top. ”

When the soldier finished reading the letter, everyone in the tent looked at each other, and everyone wondered if this was a conspiracy set up by the Combine Army.

"Patriarch, I think it's very likely that this is a conspiracy by the Combine to loosen our guard. "The Dutt Warrior Chief, who was sitting next to me, stood up and said to the patriarch in front of him.

"But the possibility of the withdrawal of the combined forces cannot be ruled out, didn't the letter say 'for some reason we can only withdraw at this moment'. The problem lies in a certain cause, maybe something has gone wrong with the human army, otherwise, how can it be so easy to give up according to the nature of elves and dwarves?"

Chipperd, who was sitting on the seat on the right, immediately analyzed Dutt's voice very calmly.

"But ......"

"Enough!"

Just as Dutt was about to say something, the patriarch, who was standing on the stone platform, suddenly shouted loudly.

"Now is not the time for a clueless guess! We'll stay in the middle and outer forests for another ten days to see what is going on, and if after ten days the fighters sent to scout the Combine camp will come back and say that the Combine have retreated. We'll all withdraw to Kejie then, understand?"

Looking at all the people in front of him, the patriarch said in a firm tone.

"Understood!!!" everyone in the tent responded loudly when they heard what the patriarch said.

............

I have to stay here for ten days......

I don't know what happened to Elder Black Frame and Mom, she shouldn't be angry with me, right?

Why do I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart?
