Chapter 110: Mutual Threats

Directly in the name of their empire to send troops to help Zhou Tian, although they can pull Zhou Tian into their camp at that time, but doing so will also anger those 'madmen' of the orc empire, according to the usual performance of the orc empire, if they really do that, then the orc empire will definitely choose to go to war, and it is obvious that the elven empire did not want to start this war at that time.

Zhou Tian's preciousness is indeed worthy of a battle between the elven empire and the orcs, but the problem at the moment is that even if Zhou Tian has that value, because his performance makes those elves not trust him very much. In this way, there is no guarantee of even basic trust, and there is certainly no need for this war to continue.

Helping Zhou Tian is for the crystal ball, but after Zhou Tian fights this battle, Zhou Tian may not help them wholeheartedly. Even how many crystal balls Zhou Tian would provide to them at that time was unknown, after all, in the eyes of those elves at that time, no matter what reason Zhou Tian had, and whether he was an orc or not, anyway, Zhou Tian, as an orc nobleman, finally chose to betray the orc empire, so even if he took refuge in their elven empire now, it was still not credible.

In this way, for the sake of the crystal ball, the elven empire was willing to pull Zhou Tian up and down, but at that time, they just wanted to pull Zhou Tian and prevent Zhou Tian from falling into the control of the orc empire. But if you really start a war for Zhou Tian, and there is no corresponding benefit, even the elf empress will not dare to make that kind of decision.

Reality is not fiction, there is always an element of interest in the initiation of war, especially when two countries are evenly matched, it is even more impossible to start a war easily. First, it is very difficult to fight a war without interests, and secondly, and most importantly, to start a war, it must consider the consequences of defeat, and no matter which country it is, it cannot afford to lose in such a war between the two countries.

Therefore, even if the character of the elves was not considered, they definitely did not want to start that war at that time.

As a result, the elves who didn't want to start a war knew that now was the best time to pull Zhou Tian into their camp, but in the end they chose to give up.

If they want Zhou Tian to be forced to join their elven empire, they need to help them resist the invasion of the orcs with all their might. But since the elf empire is not ready to do that, in order to avoid that situation and help Zhou Tian solve the current crisis, those elves at that time can only use some tricky ways to help Zhou Tian.

Helping the team is definitely going to help, and Zhou Tian's strength is limited, so there is still some pressure when facing those orc nobles. If the elves don't help, it can be regarded as a temporary day of trouble, and after a long time, it will inevitably be the opponent of those orcs.

It's just that when they helped Zhou Tian, those elves tried to change their identities at that time because of their scruples.

"You ...... this"

When those elves rushed to Zhou Tian's territory, Zhou Tian got the news at that time. After all, the situation in the territory of Zhou Tian is so tense right now, and under normal circumstances, no outsiders will enter. In this way, in the case that those elves did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, no matter how strong their strength was, it was inevitable that people would find out the first time they entered Zhou Tian's territory.

However, when Zhou Tian saw the elves who entered his residence, he found that all of them were dressed as mercenaries. If it weren't for his partner who was among them, and most of the people who came here now were elves, it is estimated that Zhou Tian would not have thought of their true identities, but directly regarded them as mercenaries!

"We don't want to start a war with the Orc Empire, so this time we can't fight in the name of the Elven Empire, but in the name of the mercenary group, and I ask your forgiveness, Lord Baron. Seeing Zhou Tian's puzzled eyes, the elf who cooperated with him stepped forward and told them their intentions.

"Really?" "Is it an accident?" Zhou Tian was still very surprised to hear the elf's plan at that time, after all, according to the normal situation, knowing Zhou Tian's value and having that kind of opportunity, ordinary people would definitely rely on this opportunity to directly pull Zhou Tian into their camp. And at that time, when Zhou Tian contacted the Elven Empire, he was already mentally prepared to be pulled into his camp by the other party.

It's just that what Zhou Tian didn't expect was that when he was ready to be forcibly pulled into the camp of the Elf Empire, the Elf Empire made this kind of reaction now, although after reacting, Zhou Tian also understood the reason why the other party did that, but even so, Zhou Tian's heart was still quite happy.

The Elven Empire doubted his loyalty, and Zhou Tian was not angry when he thought of this. The reason is very simple, because Zhou Tian himself knows that he has no loyalty at all, after all, he is not the same kind of ideological education he has received, so according to Zhou Tian's kind of thinking, it is extremely selfish in the eyes of the creatures in this world at the moment. In this way, Zhou Tian could not be trusted by those elves at that time, which was a matter of course in his opinion.

As for the decision of the Elven Empire at that time, after excluding those self-concepts, the actual result now is the most beneficial to Zhou Tian, and it is also what he wants to see the most.

What were you worried about before Sunday?

A threat to the Orc Empire?

In fact, when Zhou Tian decided to find the Elven Empire, he knew that no matter how angry the high-level of the Orc Empire was, at least before the Elf Empire did not turn against him, it was estimated that even if they hated Zhou Tian to the core, it would be impossible to pose a threat to him in a short period of time like now. After all, it is impossible for the Orc Empire to deal with Zhou Tian with all its might, and the strength of the Elf Empire is not weaker than them, with the protection of the Elf Empire, plus Zhou Tian's ability is not weak, and finally with the help of Zheng Tailong, the Orc Empire will not be very expensive to kill Zhou Tian, and the probability of success will not be very high.

In this way, when Zhou Tian found the elves, he knew that the threat to him from the Orc Empire had been lifted. For Zhou Tian at this time, what really troubles him is not the threat of the Orc Empire, but his 'treason' behavior, if it is known to his orcs, then the possible consequences at that time are what he cares about.

As for how to avoid the emergence of civil strife, Zhou Tian at that time did not have any good solutions. He knew that as soon as the news of his 'treason' spread, the collapse of the power he had established would inevitably result in it. It was precisely for this reason that when it was unthinkable, Zhou Tian contacted the Elf Empire according to his own determination, and on the other hand, in order to prevent civil strife, Zhou Tian took the initiative to conceal his plans.

It's just that when Zhou Tian couldn't figure out how to avoid the civil strife of the forces he had built, he didn't expect that the Elven Empire would solve this problem for him at that time.

If the Elven Empire participates in the war in the name of mercenaries, then even if everyone knows their identity, no one can say that Zhou Tian is 'treason'. After all, the identity of mercenaries is very special, as long as whoever pays them will go to war, they can refuse, but their own race will not affect their status position when they participate in the war.

Therefore, even if the orcs and elves are at odds, no one can say much about the elven mercenaries hired by Zhou Tian. What's more, in the face of the situation in Zhou Tian's territory at that time, Zhou Tian could say that the orc empire was oppressive, so that it couldn't even invite orc mercenaries. Although this situation was unacceptable to the Orc Empire, most of the orcs under Zhou Tian probably estimated that they would not turn against them because of this.

As long as the orcs under his command don't turn their faces against him, all the other consequences are nothing to Zhou Tian. After all, he offended the orc high-level in the territory of the orc empire, and with this kind of experience, even if it was a big disaster for Zhou Tian, it was estimated that the situation would not be much worse than now.

In this way, when he listened to his partner's words at that time, Zhou Tian was not angry because of the elf's obvious refusal to join his camp, but as soon as he reacted, he showed a happy face.

"Okay, just let us know when we need to do it, as for the conditions, thirty crystal balls!"

In fact, the Orc Empire was knighted and gave me a territory before, and even gave me 200,000 veterans in the end, but even so, I only gave them thirty or forty crystal balls, and the manufacture of this kind of treasure is too difficult, if it weren't for the fact that I am in a bad situation right now and urgently need your help, I will not exchange it for your support. Zhou Tian saw the performance of those elves and knew that his previous unintentional performance had offended them, and Zhou Tian had nothing to say about it, anyway, the impression was already left, and the other party would not believe what he said. On the contrary, after listening to the conditions proposed by the other party at that time, Zhou Tian almost didn't think about it, and directly refuted it in the first time.

It's just obvious that Zhou Tian's words are not enough to dissuade those elves. As a result, after listening to his words, those elves didn't say much, frowned and directly threatened them: "I won't mention whether your lordship's words are true or false, but no matter how much the orcs paid to obtain the crystal ball, the current trading environment between you and us, not to mention whether our support is important to you this time, is to help you, our empire may renew the war with the orcs, and these factors must be considered." Although the crystal ball is very precious, if the amount does not reach a certain level, then our reward for helping you this time is not worth our help. ”

I don't know if the elf itself is that kind of character, anyway, when he listened to the elf's words, Zhou Tian made the other party half angry. After all, although the help of those elves was indeed very important to Zhou Tian, no matter how important it was, he couldn't threaten him with this kind of thing! Even if Zhou Tian needed their help, it was still uncomfortable to be threatened like this.

The result was mostly because of the words of the elf at that time that made Zhou Tian unhappy, and Zhou Tian's originally polite attitude also changed a little at that time. Just as the other party threatened him, Zhou Tian replied directly to the other party: "That's really embarrassing, I don't have many crystal balls in my hands, and it will take a while for the newly made crystal balls to be 'shipped', since you need me to pay such a big price to be willing to help, then I really don't want to move you." In this way, I don't think I can keep this territory, and I can only go back to the human kingdom to develop in the future. After speaking, Zhou Tian also directly showed a look of regret.

"You ......" Zhou Tian's words had obvious meanings, and if he couldn't reach an agreement, Zhou Tian would directly throw away his territory and take refuge in the Terran country. For Zhou Tian, that choice at that time would definitely cause him a heavy loss, but for the elves, if it really develops like that, it may not be a good thing for them at that time.

If Zhou Tian returns to the Terran country to develop, although he will lose the territory he has developed with great difficulty, no matter where he goes, according to his ability, he believes that he will not worry about a bite to eat.

On the contrary, Zhou Tian returned to the Terran country without incident, if their elven empire could not get enough crystal balls from Zhou Tian, then in the future in the confrontation with the orcs, it would be completely disadvantaged. Help Zhou Tian As those elves said, risks and crises exist, but if they can't get the crystal ball in Zhou Tian's hand, then their losses will only be greater.

So just like those elves threatened him, Zhou Tian knew the importance of the crystal ball to the elf empire, but he also threatened the other party with this matter at that time.

The situation was so stalemate for a while, the elf side wanted to get a large number of crystal balls at once, but Zhou Tian was unwilling to give the other party too many benefits at once, plus both sides had 'weaknesses' in the hands of the other party, in such a situation at that time, the competition between the two of them must be patience.

The elf side knows very well that Zhou Tian can even achieve 'treason' for the sake of his territory, so theoretically speaking, even if he has some more crystal balls, he should try to keep his territory. It is precisely because of the speculation at that time that the elf side dared to say that, otherwise, according to Zhou Tian's current importance, it would be good if the elf empire did not please him, and it was indeed impossible to ask him for the crystal ball in a threatening way.

And Zhou Tian also knew that the importance of the crystal ball was not clear to the Elven Empire, and it was clear that even if he started a war, it would help him. And now that the other party doesn't want to start a war, then even if they don't give them so many crystal balls, as long as the high-level of the Elven Empire is not stupid, it is absolutely impossible for them to refuse to help him.

Therefore, according to the situation at the time, those elves had the confidence to consume with him, and Zhou Tian was also not afraid to consume with the other party.

In this way, when both sides think that the other will definitely give in, there is nothing to surprise when things are deadlocked there.

However, although they thought in their hearts that Zhou Tian would definitely give in in the end, those elves didn't have the heart to continue to consume like Zhou Tian. Therefore, at the beginning, Zhou Tian insisted on refusing to back down and confronted those elves, but after a long time, when he found that Zhou Tian still had the same attitude, those elves' thoughts changed.

No matter how important Zhou Tian was to those elves, since those elves could threaten him without hesitation for the crystal ball before, then now when they need it, they can also be strong against Zhou Tian for the crystal ball. After all, in the eyes of those elves, although Zhou Tian's strength is good, he is definitely not their opponent, so it is best for Zhou Tian to be willing to give in, as in the current situation, if Zhou Tian has been unwilling to give in, then they can use some tough means, then they must also get back enough crystal balls at one time to deal with the threat of the orc empire.
