Chapter 84: Conditions and the Quadripartite Alliance
The distant thunder quickly died down, and it wasn't long before the Baroque figure flew back! No one knew what he had talked about with the demonic advocate Syllucius............ No one even believed they would talk. Please search (product # book...... The fastest update just now is earth-shattering, there must be a fight, and I don't know who wins and who loses!
Facing everyone's searching eyes, especially Gustav and his men, Baroque had an indifferent expression, smiled slightly, and turned back to the direction of the dark army that had already retreated outside the city in the distance: "Don't worry, they will retreat soon, it's safe here!"
As soon as Baroque's words fell, there was a commotion outside, and from the city walls, I saw the black army of darkness retreating like a tide towards the rear, and then turned around and headed south, which happened to be the direction of the retreat of the Samoan Emperor and the Holy See Knights!
Everyone felt incredible, and Locke's eyes carried an unknown awe and even horror! What means did this orc use to let the bloodthirsty and furious, fearless army of darkness leave?
Naturally, Baroque would not explain anything to them, and the high-ranking of the race smiled: "Everyone, I think that after this joint battle, the friendship between us should have been erected, so should we sit down and talk seriously about the alliance?"
He was actually saying this to Gustav, after all, orcs, elves and dragons were already allies.
Gustav didn't think much about it, he turned back to his men, and got a unanimous nod before he smiled at Baroque: "Please come with me! I'm sorry, we are too humble here, and we can only let the distinguished guests suffer some grievances!"
Also, in these days of the dark army, they have suffered heavy casualties, almost everywhere there are wounded, even the best building rooms, they are filthy, and they really can't find a clean place to discuss things.
The leaders of the three clans all expressed understanding. The Dragon King hummed and said, "You don't have a palace here that can accommodate my body, so let's just talk about the alliance on this wall tower!"
No one objected, and irrelevant people quickly retreated. The army of darkness has just retreated, and these survivors have too much to do. Especially in the other two directions, not far from here, there are still people in two small towns who are holding out the resistance. At first, they were able to send messages to each other through the birds they raised, but when the situation became critical, they cut off contact with each other. At this time, it is unknown if there will be survivors in those two castles. Gustav sent two teams of soldiers and immediately rushed to the two places to investigate.
Only the dragon king Obasetita remained. Elven Empress Silloria, orc baroque, and then add Gustav, who represents humanity. They began to talk about the conditions of the alliance!
There is no doubt that Gustav is the weakest of the four clans at this time, but no one dares to be small. Because with the agreement between Baroque and Hilrutsius, the dark army withdrew from this direction and pursued the Samoan emperor instead, and many surrounding cities were gradually recovered. Sillucius's demonic power was running out, and it was impossible to transform all of humanity into depravity. Most of the people there are still in their sanity. As long as Gustav has a little ambition, the most important thing he should do at this time is to take care of the people in those cities, and take advantage of the Samoan emperor's own efforts to develop and strengthen himself.
And as long as Gustav is allied with the three clans, then he is reliably assured. Minergon Forest Gorge is the only Samoan gateway to the central location of the continent. The passage is difficult to navigate and full of dangers. Otherwise, the Holy See would not have begged the elves to borrow a way. In this way, the elven misty forest has shielded Gustav from the threat from the Apocalypse Holy See, and he can grow his strength even if he is incompetent. Stand up to the emperor of Samoa. In the future, he can even split the Samoan Empire and claim himself emperor!
Gustav's entire family was almost wiped out, and he was already devastated, but when he heard Baroque's explanation of the current situation, especially when he had a good chance of gaining such a powerful advantage. I can't help but get my heart beating faster! Yes, who would resist the temptation to become an emperor?
Calm, Gustav admonished himself, breathing slowly, and asked Baroque quietly: "Your Excellency Baroque, thank you for your trust and support, but since we are talking about the covenant. Then I have to ask the most realistic question, and that is...... What do you need me to do, what do you need us to give?"
This was discussed by Baroque with the Dragon King and the Elven Empress long before he came. The three of them looked at each other, and Baroque smiled and said, "Believe me, Your Excellency Gustav, you have very little to give, and it will hardly affect you. ”
"But you have to say that this is not just my dictatorship, I need the support of my subordinates to agree to you!" Gustav insisted, he would not believe that the elite combat forces of the three clans would come to the aid, it would be out of the spirit of humanitarianism!
"Okay, I'll start with that. Baroque first said to Gustav: "I fought a great battle with the Dark Elves, and although I could not defeat him, at least he did not want to fight to defeat me with injuries." Therefore, he can only choose to shift the target, and then the Samoan Emperor and the Holy See will have a big war with the dark army, and neither of them can take care of anything else, and this is also your opportunity to control as many territories as possible. You know, we orcs are in the far north, and there is hardly any advantage in the south, and there is no threat to you. What I need is just some material benefits. We don't want gold coins and jewelry, we just need useful supplies. Of course, we will not be insatiable, except for the first deserved, in the future, we orcs can open a trade route with your forces and trade with each other. After all, the livestock and horses of our beast clan are still very popular. ”
The Samoan Empire is located in the southern part of the continent, and their wealth is very rich, which is not at all comparable to the somewhat barren Duchy of Hanseasa or the Kingdom of Paddington. The current Adria Empire is still under the control of the Holy See Saintess Evangeline, and even the Holy See has sent her a large number of elite guards against the orcs on the tundra. Unless the Baroque wants to fully expose its strength, it may be possible to hide behind the second prince of Audria and seize a few provinces, but if it wants to completely annex Audria, it will not be possible in a short time. That's why he thought of trading with the Samoan Empire. After all, only sufficient supplies can help the beast clan quickly grow its strength!
Gustav understands this very well, the orcs are notoriously poor ghosts in the continent of Sauron, and they seem to have no other strengths except for raising livestock and wearing animal skins!
"I agree to your request, and when my power is secured, I will set up a caravan to trade with you in the northern tundra. It's just that there will be obstacles in the few countries you have to pass through along the way, how can you solve this?" asked Gustav, the Kingdom of Paddington, the Duchy of Hanseas, and especially the Audria Empire, which separated Samoa from the northern tundra, although with his relationship with Schaumberg, could easily pass through Paddington's territory, but the Audria Empire would never let the caravan pass.
"It's okay, you don't need to go through the territory of the Adria Empire, go from the Gravel Wastes to Paddington, and then pass through the Duchy of Hansa to the southern foothills of the Kundu Maya Mountains. Have you forgotten that the Dark Elf had escaped from the belly of the Kundu Maya, where he had created a passage through the entire mountain range, which would serve as our trade route, and would reduce the journey by at least two-thirds. ”
Baroque is not lying, when Sillusius broke out of the seal and shocked the rock passage of the gray dwarf beyond recognition, I don't know how many times it has expanded, at this time it is an open tunnel, and even horse racing is not a problem.
So there would be no problem, Gustav nodded, and agreed to Baroque's terms!
"We elves don't ask you for anything, we just need you to do a little ............ On the borders of our Misty Forest, a fifty-mile exclusion zone is set out, where no troops are allowed to be stationed, and we need a peaceful life. ”
This is hardly a condition, because Gustav now has not too many troops at his disposal, but too little. Who would be idle and put the army in the rear? Naturally, he agreed to the empress's request. Only the Dragon King is left!
"You can't do it now, that is, when you become the supreme ruler of Samoa one day in the future, you can promise our dragon clan to give us [Kuchi Island] beyond the coastline of Samoa. ”
Kuchi Island is the largest island in the Samoan Empire and is said to be almost the size of a province. The dragon islands of the dragons are in the deep sea, too far from the mainland, and the dragons urgently need a suitable place to rest and recuperate. And [Kuchi Island], which is less than 1,000 miles from the shore, is undoubtedly the most suitable. Perhaps the Golden Dragon King was the one who put forward the most demanding conditions, but although the big island nominally belonged to the Samoan Empire, the ruler above it was the [Seagod Halberd Academy], one of the top ten magic schools in the mainland. Most of the magicians there are water magicians and possess extremely strong power at sea. Even the dragon clan will not be easily provoked, otherwise with the temperament of the dragon, the island would have been snatched a long time ago!
Gustav is not yet the emperor of Samoa, and it is doubtful that he will even be able to do so. He was not at ease on the chicken rib island in the open sea, so he nodded and was generous: "Yes, if I take control of the Samoan Empire, I will personally write a contract and hand over the ownership of that big island to the dragon clan." ”
Well, this is a good communication with each other! Now that Gustav has replied to the conditions of the three clans, it is time for them to help Gustav!
"Come, I have a plan, let's discuss it. Maybe you can take this opportunity to teach the Apocalypse Holy See a hard lesson. This would not only allow them to relent, but also completely solve the threat that Archduke Gustav was suffering from from the Holy See. ”
Baroque laughed happily, but in the eyes of the dragon king and the elven queen, he knew that this cunning orc had a new trick! )
