Chapter 144: Alliance

Ming Luo, the envoy of the orc kingdom, has met His Royal Highness. ”

Mingluo walked to the front of the palace and saluted the prince from afar.

"The messenger does not need to be polite. Shi Yan smiled and nodded.

Looking at the orc envoy in front of the hall, he was amazed in his heart, because this orc envoy completely subverted people's impression of orcs. He doesn't feel like an orc at all.

Most of the orcs are strange-looking, similar to all kinds of beasts. With the exception of the Orc Royalty, most of them are completely different from humans. Young orcs all have strong bodies and great strength, which makes every orc soldier can compete with ordinary human swordsmen. Fortunately, while the Heavens have given the orcs strength, it also seems to have weakened their intelligence, which makes the number of mages among the orcs quite small, maintaining the average strength of humans and orcs.

The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts. Because of the difference in size and appearance, orcs have been ostracized by human society for a long time. Human nations have been at war for a long time, but when facing the orcs, they have shown unprecedented unity. From the spread of technological bans to the restricted circulation of weapons and armor, to the various restrictions on commerce, human countries have basically achieved the same pace. Human countries are like a big family, it is okay to fight at home, but it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to be strong enough to enter their own homes.

"Envoy Mingluo, can you explain your intentions now?"

"Your Royal Highness, Ming Luo came to your country this time and brought a personal letter from His Majesty the Beast Emperor, hoping to become an ally with the Fire Cloud Empire!" He took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the guard.

His words immediately caused an uproar among the ministers, and there were many discussions.

"What, the orcs want to ally with us? Oh my God, they're so whimsical!"

"Between humans and orcs, how can they become allies!"

"The human state. I don't think there's a precedent for an alliance with the orcs, right?"

Shi Yan looked around at the ministers, and the court suddenly fell silent. After opening the Beast Emperor's letter and looking at it carefully, Shi Yan's face changed slightly, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Envoy Mingluo, the Beast Emperor said at the end of the letter, if the alliance fails, he will send troops to attack the Fire Cloud Empire, is this threatening my Fire Cloud Empire?" Shi Yan asked coldly.

In fact, the Orc Kingdom invades your country's borders every year, and it is really a last resort, because the Orcs must fight to support themselves. I think. The Beast Emperor may also be forced by the domestic situation to send troops to grab some food, so that the orcs can barely survive this winter!"

Mingluo did not have a trace of panic and answered calmly.

"So, the emperor of your country has a good reason to send troops, and the timing is also very good!" Shi Yan sneered.

"Your Royal Highness, you may not know how difficult life can be for orcs. Orcs have long been limited by humans. It is located in a barren mountainous area. Relatively scarce property. And the orcs eat a lot of food, and ordinary people's annual harvest can only cope with a few months. Every year, the orcs wage war, one for the purpose of grabbing food, and the other for the purpose of consuming some of the population through the war and reducing their own pressure. Mingluo said. There was a deep sadness in his eyes.

"The Beast Emperor made three suggestions in his letter. One is if the Fire Cloud Empire agrees to form an alliance. The Beast Emperor will send troops to assist the Fire Cloud in quelling the rebellion. The Huoyun Empire only needs to pay the orc kingdom the money and food needed for the war after the war, and the second is that after the alliance, Huoyun will provide the orcs with some raw materials necessary for production and life. The Zeng people will exchange their own gold mines and iron ores, and the third is to appropriately export some industrial and agricultural technologies to the orcs to help the orcs improve their living conditions, and in return, the orc kingdom will establish an offensive and defensive alliance with Huoyun. What do the ministers think about this?" Shi Yan raised the letter in his hand and asked the courtiers.

If it were in normal times, these ministers would have already stood up against it. Because resisting orcs is one thing that the human countries on the mainland recognize. But at this time, the empire was in a civil war, and the situation was unclear, and the Beast Emperor's proposal to send troops to help quell the rebellion became extremely sensitive. War has broken out in the north, and no one knows the latest situation. If the war in the Empire is unfavorable, then assistance from the Orc Empire is extremely important.

"Your Highness, this matter has to be considered in the long run. The envoy had come suddenly, and the stakes were so high that it was difficult for everyone to have a good opinion in a hurry. I don't think it's better to let the envoy stay first, and then we'll discuss the matter of forming an alliance slowly. Prime Minister Kaslow saw that everyone was silent, so he had to stand up and play a round.

"It seems that this is the only way to do it for the time being. Then ask the envoy of Mingluo to stay for a while, and then we will discuss this matter, and then discuss how to didu the scenery, thinking that it is very different from the orc kingdom, the envoy can go around for a few days. Shi Yan looked at Mingluo and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your hospitality. Mingluo also has this intention, and I will wait for your reply with peace of mind. ”

"By the way, Envoy Minlot, I have a question I want to ask, and if it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer it. Shi Yan suddenly asked before Ming Luo left.

"Your Highness, please speak. ”

"Were you originally from the Orc Kingdom?"

"The Orc King

, in fact, are just some very ordinary people struggling to survive. Although I am different, I always feel that I like them and I want to be one of them, because they do not have many human shortcomings, they are relatively pure human beings. A person, when he is controlled by the beast, is the real orc. I don't know this answer, can Your Highness be satisfied?"

Mingluo didn't seem to be in a hurry about the alliance, and was very satisfied with the prince's arrangement. In the following days, in addition to traveling around the mountains and rivers, he also accepted many invitations from nobles and participated in many banquets and balls. This super handsome guy from the orc kingdom, with his perfect temperament and strong financial resources, has made many aristocratic girls in Didu obsessed, and has also made many noble ladies fantasize about being carried to bed by orcs and ravaged countless times. As for Mingluo, he behaved extremely gentlemanly to these women who were obsessed with him, gentle and polite, and he had been among thousands of flowers, and he didn't smell the fragrance and didn't touch his clothes. The more he showed that he didn't care, the more crazy these noble ladies became. Soon, Didu blew a whirlwind of "Mingluo", which made many young people sigh that under the wind of the world, "orcs" were in charge, and local handsome guys were seriously devalued.

"Yun, since Your Majesty gave me the marriage, I haven't seen Sister Scarlet Tears again. Shui Ling'er snuggled in Liuyun's arms and said melancholy.

"Ling'er, don't have too much, she has her own ideas, and it's enough for me to have you. Liuyun listened to Shui Ling'er's words, and his heart was a little sour. These days, when he didn't see Hua Scarlet Tears, he kept himself busy and deliberately didn't think about her. In the current situation, he couldn't think of any other way to comfort the girl.

"Really, why do I think someone is wrong?" Shui Ling'er looked up in Liuyun's arms and smiled mischievously.

"Maybe. From knowing her to now, she has done so much for me that I don't know how to thank her. Liuyun sighed.

"Yun, in fact, I have always hated you, and I never thought that you would one day become the most important person in my life. Shui Ling'er stretched out her hand, gently stroked Liuyun's cheek, and said gently, "As a woman, I will be jealous and jealous, but I can't do this to Sister Scarlet Tears, I am very worried about her now." In the natural house, she confronted the princess in front of her, and I knew then that she had more confidence than I even had in you. On Daxing Mountain, she came to my side, and after I told him your advice and expectations, she who wanted to go to you stayed with me and helped me wholeheartedly. In those sons, she and I encouraged each other and depended on each other*, and she even thought of me as you, so I could feel her deep affection for you. ”

"Ling'er, you are now the wife that His Majesty the Emperor has set for me, you are so generous, aren't you afraid of my heart?" Liuyun said with a wry smile.

"Huaxin? Will you, if you are more careful, Sister Scarlet will still be in pain now? However, except for her, even the emperor's daughter is here, and I am not so good at talking. Shui Ling'er smiled.

"I really don't understand what is going on between you women. ”

"Yun, I did this to her, in fact, because of you. She loves you even more passionately and persistently than I do, and she gives far more than I do, and she can do more for you. Because I love you, how can I refuse in the face of such a woman?" Shui Ling'er looked at Liuyun and thought sourly in her heart.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to Sister Scarlet Tears, and you can rest assured about her affairs. ”

"Madame, you can do it. It's late at night, should we rest early, and tomorrow morning, the prince will summon me to the palace to discuss an alliance with the orcs. Liuyun smiled, his hands gently kneading in front of Shui Ling'er's chest.

"You scoundrel. I heard that the orc messenger is very handsome and manly, and a lot of girls have gone crazy within a few days of coming to Didu, aren't you afraid that your tears will also be fascinated by him?"

Shui Ling'er writhed unstimulatingly, but she seemed to be deliberately catering to the claws of Liuyun.

"That kid is very strange, there are all the best handsome guys among the humans, I don't know how such a person can appear in the orc kingdom! Ordinary orcs, in our eyes, are very ugly. ”

"In that case, orcs are quite scary. ”

"What's so scary? Actually, every man is stripped naked, and hey!

The room resounded with the laughter of an orc ** and the drunken moans of a girl.

"Oh...... You...... It hurts me!orc ...... Tap!"
