Chapter 136: Return

Low, maniacal laughter struck the hearts of the dwarves present like hammers, and the scene suddenly became a stalemate, until Ron's military commander, the elite commander who had buried the Horn Fort but was still not removed, walked over to Ron's side after carefully observing Giggs's appearance.

The sound of a mosquito came into Ron's ears, and with a slight movement of his ears, Ron heard a sentence, "City Lord, this guy used it as an arrow in the battle some time ago and penetrated through the defensive army formation I had arranged in the rear at that time, so, um~ His strength is very strong." ”

The corners of Ron's eyes couldn't help but twitch, and his gaze inadvertently met Giggs's gaze again, and after three seconds of staring at each other, Ron couldn't help but look to the side. Ten seconds later, Ron burst out laughing, "Elves and dwarves are both peace-loving races, and in order to prevent the two sides from suffering more human losses, I think we should have a good talk, so that my people can return to normal production as soon as possible." ”

Giggs looked at Ron with a smile and saluted slightly, "The city lord of Ron cares about his people is really admirable, and I believe that the promotion of peace talks will be beneficial to both sides~" "Oh? Can you tell me about your conditions?" Ron asked with some curiosity, since he had decided to officially enter the negotiations, Ron's attitude changed quickly.

"We can return all the territory to the west of Leipzig City in order to obtain the commercial trade of human merchants in the area of Fort Clarrum, of course, the merchants will not try to deal with such weapons as the magic crystal cannon, and Lord Ron you need to ensure that human merchants will not be treated unfairly in your territory. Giggs glanced at it, and after receiving a nod from Alaye, he said the main points of the peace talks that had been considered for a long time.

Using the human merchant as a medium to purchase a large number of magic crystals on the dwarven side for strategic reserves, this is the core point of negotiation that Giggs suggested to Rilian. Why did the elves start this war? It was because they learned that the reserves of the magic crystal ore on the dwarves' side were very rich, and the elves could not resist this temptation, and the three elven royal courts directly mobilized their troops to take down the dwarves' territory.

However, after nearly a year of fighting, the elves suddenly found that if the dwarves could not shrink back, there was really no way for them to break the dwarves' tortoise shells, which was why Giggs's plan could be approved by these proud elves.

More than one-fifth of the Moon Elves' forces attacked one of the forty-two giant cities of the Dwarves, but they did not defeat the Horn Fort, but they suffered heavy losses, and if they could use this roundabout method to achieve the original goal, the current Moon Elves would not refuse.

"That's what you want?" Ron's usually serious expression finally fluctuated, and even several of his men looked strange.

"No, no, no~ Of course not, Lord Ron, you have to pay us a batch of high-quality magic crystals as compensation for the loss of our troops~" Giggs shook his head, and suddenly felt a little pity for this dwarven city lord.

"Is there anything else?, or how can you give me the territory east of Leipzig?" Ron asked patiently, but he couldn't help but growl in his heart. "I fought for a year, and as a result, you are for this little thing? a batch of magic crystals for you!Start commercial trade? and there is no harm to me~ I fought for this little thing, and I completely lost nearly 50,000 elites, this war is really wronged~"

"Lord Ron, it's not that the city of Leipzig can't be handed over to you, it's just that we have to see if our business cooperation can be carried out well, and if the interests of our merchants are protected, then we will deliver the city of Leipzig to you, because at that time we have established a basic trust between us. Giggs replied very indifferently, "You want the city of Leipzig?" Then give it to you, and the elves can't live in this environment for a long time.

Ron was a little surprised by Giggs's refreshment, what does Giggs's reaction mean? That is, the elves don't have much desire for territory at all, which shows that this war broke out inexplicably, and Ron would never have thought that the arrogance of the elves decided to directly turn the dwarves into a vassal race like humans, and now they can only retreat to pursue the most basic interests.

When both parties find that the offer is acceptable, the negotiation efficiency is more rapid.

Alaye then succeeded in picking up on Giggs and began more detailed negotiations with Ron, including the tedious little things about learning Elven language to a small group of dwarven merchants.

After enjoying a lavish lunch at the City Lord's Mansion at noon, as the sun set, Giggs followed the two beautiful Moon Elves back to their temporary abode at Hornfort with a sheepskin scroll in his hands.

"Do you know that your sudden outburst almost scared me to death, I almost thought that the dwarven city lord would call out a large number of soldiers on duty outside and kill us on the spot~" Alaye was very tired and lay down on the chair that Giggs had made in the morning, and complained to Giggs.

And Alaye's words successfully caused Seve to nod his head non-stop, and Giggs embarrassedly put the scroll with the peace treaty written on it on the table aside, "I don't think that the dwarven city lord was very perfunctory there at that time~ If he doesn't take some action, he can sign a treaty with us so honestly?"

"And I asked Hind about Ron's personality to have this plan~"

"Anyway, you should have told us in advance if you have this kind of plan, do you know how worried I was at the time~" Alaye said in a somewhat excited tone.

Giggs smiled, picked up the fruit in the fruit bowl on the table, and handed it to Alaye's mouth, "Okay~ Isn't it okay now, eat a fruit to dissipate your anger, I promise you, this will not happen in the future~ Sif, which kind of fruit do you want?"

Alaye pouted and bit the cherry fruit that Giggs handed him, and his mouth was still muttering, Giggs saw the fruit that Siv was staring at, chuckled, and picked it up and brought it to Sif's mouth.

Sif's big eyes glanced at Giggs, and he opened his small mouth slightly and bit down on the fruit.

"Tomorrow we can go back to camp ~ The war has come to an end for the time being~" Giggs sighed as he looked at the sunset on the horizon and stretched his waist.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Today is already the seventh day, if Alaye and the others don't come back by tomorrow morning, we will retreat~" In the elven camp outside Fort Horn, Kai, who was in golden and red robes, summoned important officers to announce his decision, no one made a sound, no news came back for so many days, and in their hearts they already thought that the three people in the past were more than lucky.

Kai was about to say a morale-boosting word, but he heard the guards at the camp gate asking to see him.

The elven soldier replied with a beaming smile on his face, "Alayah and Sif-sama are back~"
