Chapter 90: The Mist
"My lord, this is the messenger from the north. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
In the government affairs building, Luna came to Wang Xiaotian's office early in the morning with a slightly shy catwoman girl.
In the spacious office, Wang Xiaotian, who was rubbing his forehead to read a document, heard the words, and carefully looked at the envoy who came from the north, with a delicate face, a small nose, and water-like eyes, making it difficult to imagine that this rough wilderness would give birth to such a woman.
This little girl looked a little restrained, her light white cat ears trembled, and she looked very shy.
Looking at this cute little girl, Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but shake his head, this northern orc would actually send such a weak little girl to be a war messenger, and immediately, he still smiled slightly, and took the initiative to speak: "Hello, guests from afar." ”
"Hello, honorable Lord of Greystone," the little girl bowed shyly.
"What's the matter, let's sit down and talk!" Wang Xiaotian said in a relaxed tone, pointing to the chair in front of the desk, and motioning for Luna and the little girl to sit down.
"Who!"
Luna's eyes froze and she let out a sudden exclamation.
Suddenly, dressed in decent casual clothes, the figure of the half-orc girl appeared quietly in the office, looking at the tense atmosphere, Wang Xiaotian hurriedly explained: "My own people, my own people, this girl I just brought back from the north, you can be trusted, let's continue." ”
After the little girl from the north sat down, she quickly relaxed, she cleared her throat, and said in that very nice crisp girlish voice: "I heard that the adults have decided to send troops to the north, and I came this time because of a reluctant invitation." ”
"Oh, let's hear it," Wang Xiaotian's face was indifferent, looking at Luna who was watching and writing, and he couldn't help but wonder if this northern catwoman had anything to do with Luna.
"I hope that when your army reaches the north, it will be able to join us as allies of our Phantom Tribe on the left side of the Gakaris Line. ”
The little girl's tone was urgent, this eagerness made non-professional negotiators like Wang Xiaotian feel it, just like the straightforwardness of the Great Wilderness, this slightly shy little girl didn't have many twists and turns, and said bluntly: "This time, you go north as an ally of our Phantom Tribe, not only can you get a reward from White Horse City, but also the friendship of our Phantom Tribe." ”
"Friendship ......" Wang Xiaotian knocked on the table with a pretending to be pensive, Wang Xiaotian couldn't believe this kind of verbal promise, and he didn't know anything about the situation in the north until now, so he couldn't take the troops and plunge into it like a headless fly.
"Well, messenger from afar, tell me what the situation in the north is. ”
Wang Xiaotian thought for a moment, and for the sake of this somewhat ignorant messenger brought by Luna, he decided to give her another chance.
......
The little girl described the situation in the north in great detail, and the straightforward girl didn't seem to know how to hide the news that was unfavorable to her in such a negotiation.
In her mouth, Wang Xiaotian roughly understood what the situation was in the north.
In the Gakaris Corridor on the edge of the Wilderness in the north, a group of troops suspected to be Vitan have advanced into the Gakaris Strip and are clashing with some of the orc tribes that live there.
Soon after, the bustling western border city of White Horse City suddenly announced that it would start a war against this group of troops who appeared in the Gakaris area, and the war came in a hurry, and the two sides had already fought several bloody battles around the Gakaris corridor.
In the face of this sudden war, as a city that has stood on the edge of the Great Wilderness for many years, the ruling class of White Horse City can be called wealthy, and before the turbulent western situation has not subsided, White Horse City, which is unwilling to consume its own living force, decides, so they are ready to recruit the orcs of the Great Wilderness in the form of employment to participate in the war.
"Wait, what does this have to do with your Phantom Tribe?" Wang Xiaotian interrupted the little girl's narration.
"Alas......"
Luna, who was sitting on the side, sighed, rubbed her skull, and said, "Let me explain, due to the severe frost disaster in the north of the Great Wilderness this year, the Phantom Tribe's food reserves are insufficient, and as a large tribe in the north, their vassal tribes are also very large, and they can only obtain enough food to survive this year through war merchandise." ”
"The problem is that the Vitans in the north are attacking too quickly, and the Phantom and other tribes in charge of the left defense line of Gakaris are a little overwhelmed. Her face was a little ugly, and Luna continued, "And in the terms of employment in Whitehorse City, mercenaries who voluntarily join the war can choose their own war zone within the allowable range. ”
As soon as Luna said this, Wang Xiaotian understood.
To put it bluntly, the war zone defended by this Phantom Tribe is a bit unbearable, and the Greystone Alliance can raise the Phantom Tribe with a hand and choose to participate in the battle on the left side of the Gakaris defense line while sending troops.
"Truth be told, my lord, before I joined the Greystone Alliance, our tribe and the Phantom tribe were friendly tribes for generations...... This little girl lived in our tribe for a few days when she was a child, this time she took the initiative to leave the north to come to the south to ask for help, before in Gray Rock City, she has been rejected many times, a little girl who has just become an adult, with eight guards, almost crossed most of the wilderness, I really can't bear to ......"
Luna looked at Doya, who was flushed, with complicated eyes, she understood that as the grand steward of the Greystone Alliance, this kind of behavior that was obviously not beneficial to the alliance was wrong, but she was a flesh-and-blood person after all, so she couldn't help but explain to Doya and their tribe.
Looking at the two who were a little apprehensive, Wang Xiaotian felt a little funny in his heart.
"Ahem, don't be so pessimistic, did I say no? I want to gain a friendship that is more precious in some moments than more wealth. Wang Xiaotian comforted at the right time that for the alliance that was about to go north, he did not refuse Doya's request, nor did he explicitly agree.
Some things need to be confirmed with your own eyes.
Sending away the worried little girl from the north and the relieved Luna, Wang Xiaotian sat in the office, looking at the spirit of Gray Stone City looking out the window with an expressionless face, and he fell into deep thought.
He felt a great crisis about the war that was once again triggered by the Vitans of the North, as if this seemingly local war would bring great changes to the future.
Why did the Vitans appear and what did they want, what was the meaning of the strange reaction of Whitehorse City, and the strange and complicated situation of the northern orcs......
Everything seems to be foggy!
With a light sigh, Wang Xiaotian habitually rubbed his brain again.
