The contradiction between plateau humans and plateau orcs cannot be reconciled in the short term, which requires long-term correct indoctrination and influence. www.biquge.infoNor did Edward intend to settle their feud with a single speech.

"All right, everybody. Edward, dressed in neat armor, stood between the two groups and said in a loud voice, "I am Edward Lee, Lord of Free City and the head of the Demon Hunter Knights. The Okaslay Plateau tribes and the ape-man tribes are the victims of the strife between the two countries, and our vision of the Demon Hunter Knights is to bring a peaceful and ideal life to all the suffering peoples of this continent. ”

"In the near future, we will have many races here to settle here, and there will be contradictions like yours among them. So, in order for the free city to be stable in the long term, we have some rules. ”

"Highland humans and highland orcs will live in two areas of the free city, in the residential areas of the city, we absolutely do not allow private fights and insults, all the conflicts that need to be resolved, you can go to the arena in the northwest corner of the city to solve by force. But beware, our arena is not a pastime for the nobles, we do not allow death, and any fatal fight will be banished from the Free City. ”

Hearing Edward's words, the human side of the plateau gradually quieted down. For them who see hope, death is not the most terrible, the loss of hope is what they are most afraid of, and being banished from this ideal country is undoubtedly the loss of hope. This decree also forced them to put aside their hatred for a while.

"This is the place of you humans, what do you promise that you humans will not enslave us. "In the midst of this group of highland orcs, an old ape-man speaks the proficient human lingua franca.

"I swear in the honor of the Knights of the Demon Hunters that I will treat all the inhabitants who live here equally and fairly. Edward looked at the old ape-man and said solemnly, "If you don't believe me, you can select a representative to participate in the construction of the city." The Free City has established a council in which all races of life have the right to join. ”

"I hope what you said is true, if it weren't for the destruction of our homeland by war, we would never have set foot on human soil. The old ape-man pointed at Nataya and said, "This human lady has shown enough sincerity that we are here." ”

"We apes don't just know how to accept help and don't know how to reciprocate, and if you can give us enough rights and respect, we will be honored to give our strength to protect this land. ”

"Everything you say is a false promise, if you are sincere, let our warriors join your Knights. ”

"Of course, wise old man. That's exactly what I'm going to say later. Edward smiled, "We, the Demon Hunter Knights, are the fighting force to protect our territory, and the knights should be made up of warriors of all races. ”

"At present, the Knights are composed of humans and elves, and I would love to see you orcs join. ”

The old orc's cloudy eyes flashed with a bright light, and he solemnly saluted Edward, "My eyes are a little blind, but they allow me to see the human mind. Seeing sincerity in your heart, we Plateau Ape People are honored to be able to join you. ”

Edward smiled and shook the old ape-man's hand and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am Luke Radiance, the elder and shaman of the Wild Plateau Ape, and I am glad you to accept us, Lord Edward. ”

"So, Elder Luke, I hereby solemnly invite you to join the Demon Hunter Council of our Free City on behalf of the Wild Plateau Ape. ”

"I would like to ask, who in the Demon Hunter Council represents the will of the highland humans?" Luke did not directly agree, but asked rhetorically.

"It's me, old monkey. A tall, middle-aged man with long blond hair stepped out from behind Edward, wearing the Silver Paladin armor of the Demon Hunter Knights, with a shield and a battle axe on his back, looking at the old ape-man with a complicated gaze.

"Then I'll join. The old ape-man Luke looked at him and nodded without hesitation, "Drake the Wind Splitter, this man is much better than his father in terms of sanity, what happened to my old opponent?"

"My father died from a stray bullet from the magic cannon of the Okasre Kingdom. Drake said with a sad face, "I have inherited his position as patriarch, and I have joined the Knights of the Demon Hunters, and I am also a member of the Demon Hunter Council. ”

"And what do you think of our joining?" Luke asked again.

Drake said calmly, "Our two races have been fighting for so many years, and in the end our homes have been destroyed by war, is this what we want to see?"

"So, you're in favor of us joining?" Luke's eyes flickered.

"No, our hatred wasn't resolved so quickly, and it wasn't something the two of us could resolve with a few words. Drake said, "I don't have any opinion about you joining. We can live separately in different areas of the residential area, without aggression against each other, and I believe that time will gradually dilute the contradictions between our two communities. ”

"That's enough, wise human patriarch. With a word of appreciation, Luke stopped talking and retreated into the ranks of the Plateau Ape-Man, led by Nataya into the Free City.

"Drake, with what you know about the Plateau Apemen, will they be able to settle down here?" Edward asked, looking at the group of Plateau Apemen, "I need to hear a fair evaluation, not a malicious slander." ”

"Of course, they can definitely settle down, Your Excellency. Drake said to Edward, "The Plateau Ape Men were the last group to join the Orc Empire. Until then, they had lived on harsh snow, and had evolved from ancient ape-men to the alpine ape-men who now walked upright, and they possessed great adaptability. Compared to that snow-capped plateau, this place is a dreamland, and they have no reason to hate it. ”

"However, although the alpine ape-men are a formidable species, they are wild and very difficult to restrain them, and I think Your Excellency will be very busy in the future. Drake looked at Ania, who was standing calmly beside Edward, who was the Speaker of the Demon Hunter Council.

"I believe that the Light will inspire them. Annia laughed, "I just want you to teach your people well, and try to keep these inevitable conflicts to a minimum." ”

"This is not a difficult task, Your Excellency. Drake said confidently, "Especially if the old monkey didn't die of old age and joined the council." ”

"Then can I go and pick my soldiers now?" After a few people finished speaking, Barney couldn't wait to stand up and said, "Look at those strong apes, they have a lot of capital and deserve to be paladins!"

"And it's true, my captain. Drake laughed, "The Plateau Ape Men are not very good at bows and arrows, so you don't have to worry about them being poached by Lord Legolas......
