As the escorted captives, the expressions on the faces of Rowling and Alola and the others were also full of unconcealed shock, before they actually saw it with their own eyes, the barbarians had imagined what it was like behind the stone wall, and at this moment, the scene in front of them was obviously completely beyond their imagination.

The neat floor paved with smooth stone slabs, the rows of buildings made of stone on both sides of the street, and the exaggerated number of people, there is no end in sight.

It was as if they were laughing at their frogs at the bottom of the well.

Rowling's ice-blue eyes widened as she took in the unprecedented scene, and her whole heart remained at peace for a long time when she was put in a cell by the soldiers.

Presumably to confirm the identities of the two clan leaders, Rowling and Alora were each given a separate cell, unlike the other large group of people who were all kept in one large cell.

Alora struggled to wrestle with the bronze shackles on her hands and feet, pounded the floor in frustration, and then turned to look at Rowling in the next cell.

In the face of Rowling, Alola complains and regrets.

If I hadn't listened to the other party's advice, I wouldn't have ended up like this.

In the end, he simply asked in annoyance: "Things have come to this point, have you thought about what to do next?" ”

Alola's words brought Rowling back to her senses slightly, and at this time, in addition to calmness and clarity, there was also helplessness and a trace of inexplicable emotions in her voice.

"Southerners are far more powerful than we think, Alola ......"

Hearing this, Alola fell into a brief silence, unable to refute the statement, because the facts were in front of him.

They're captured, and they're probably going to be slaves to the Southerners.

"You've said before that if this attack fails, you're going to have to change your plan, right?"

"Yes, I did."

"So what was your original plan?" Alora asked Rowling with an unrelenting expression.

"My original plan was that if the offensive failed again, I would abandon my intention of making enemies with the Southerners and ally with them instead."

If you encounter an enemy you can't beat, turn him into a friend.

There is nothing wrong with this, as is the case with the Bitter Winter tribe and the Yak tribe now.

But the point is that everything is based on the premise that they are not captured......

Alora wasn't stupid either, and quickly realized it.

If you want to negotiate conditions, you must also have the qualifications to negotiate conditions.

And now that they have even lost their lives to those southerners, what else can they use to negotiate terms with each other?

There was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and the two people who were talking immediately stopped talking, and the person who came didn't say anything, and after putting down the food, he turned to leave.

For Rowling, who left the bitter cold land for the first time, even a steamed bun has a different style in her eyes. Even if it was the most common food in the eyes of the people of Great Xia, she also ate it with relish.

Originally, because of anger and depression, Alola was actually not hungry, but now looking at Rowling who ate sweetly, he quickly felt hungry.

The food looked white and fat, and if it weren't for the soft touch and the hint of warmth, Alora would have thought it was just a snowball.

When the steamed bun is close to the tip of his nose, a unique fragrance emanates, and when the steamed bun is in the mouth, it is different from the cold and hard food in the bitter cold place, and the soft taste makes him linger.

When that hint of sweetness appeared, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.

Before she knew it, Alora had eaten six fist-sized steamed buns.

He took a few sips of water and leaned against the wall, and then a touch of chagrin rose in his heart.

Damn it!

Those southerners must have an ulterior conspiracy to treat them like this!

He turned his head to look at Rowling, who was also closing his health, and asked, "Hey, are we really helpless now?" ”

Glancing at Alola, who was full of impatience, Rowling's cold voice sounded again.

"There's another way."

Hearing this, Alola was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

"Talk about the conditions."

"Negotiate conditions?"

Alola, who got this answer, was stupid all at once.

"How?"

Now that they are in the hands of each other, and the warriors of the tribe have been captured, how can they negotiate terms with those southerners?

Facing the emotional Alola, Rowling's voice remained the same.

"With what the other person wants, of course."

Great Xia City.

"Your Majesty, the latest battle report from the North Wind City."

"Bring it in."

After receiving the battle report submitted by the guards, although Xia Qi thought that the battle situation on the side of North Wind City should be nine out of ten, the action of opening the battle report still unconsciously sped up a few points.

After seeing the news of the victory of the orc army, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a shallow arc.

However, the content of the battle report is obviously not limited to this, continue to look down, the soldier casualty statistics of this battle have also been prepared, and the mammoth and yak are indeed very ferocious.

On the premise of sending an orc army, the number of casualties among this soldier was much more than Xia Qi expected, as well as the more than thirty barrels of fire oil consumed, Xia Qi's face was full of pain.

It wasn't until he saw the number of barbarians captured that his face finally softened, at least according to the number of people, the number of barbarian warriors captured so far made him quite satisfied, and the most important thing was that these barbarian warriors could be directly thrown into the barracks to join the army.

For now, replenishing troops is also a top priority for Xia Qi, compared to this, the mammoth, as a special war unit, can capture it, which is indeed a good thing.

If it were other players, I was afraid that they would already be happy and stupid now, but Xia Qi didn't vote because he already had an elephant human race. And judging from the battle report, the strength of the elephant tribe is obviously higher than that of the mammoth.

In this way, the existence of mammoths is at most the icing on the cake for Xia Qi.

On the contrary, the yak knights, the number is not small, if you can get a special force of a few hundred people, the value is definitely above the mammoth.

However, this matter is urgent, and now these barbarians have just been captured.

In the end, Zhang Song also told Xia Qi that the barbarians wanted to negotiate terms with him.

"You want to negotiate terms with me."

After reading it, Xia Qi couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Although the environment of the bitter cold land is harsh, the territory is vast, and there must be resources or something.

It is true that he could have sent a prospecting team to search slowly, but after all, it was still a little troublesome, and the speed was too slow. It would not be impossible to negotiate terms with those barbarians, if it would save him a lot of time.

Thinking of this, Xia Qi immediately wrote a warrant and asked the herald to send it to Beifeng City, signaling Zhang Song to send someone to escort the leaders of the two northern tribes to Daxia City to meet him.

After that, Xia Qi found the minister of the Propaganda Department and asked him to start hyping up the war, in which he greatly praised the role played by the orcs.

After propaganda, people's perception of orcs has gradually changed.

After receiving Xia Qi's warrant, Zhang Song immediately prepared two prisoner cars and locked up Alora and Rowling and left.

At first, Alola tried to struggle, but was quickly subdued, and when he looked at the five or six spears against his neck, he could only admit it.

"Be honest with me, let's go!"

Alola asked, "Where do you want to take us!" ”

One soldier replied, "His Majesty the Emperor wants to summon you, be honest!" Otherwise, this spear doesn't have eyes! ”

Throughout, Rowling was very calm, more afraid that she wouldn't even have a chance to negotiate a final deal than a brief humiliation.

The two were quickly escorted into the prisoner car, and this time it was Silan and his light cavalry who were responsible for escorting Rowling and Alora to Great Xia City.

Just as Rowling was wondering how to negotiate terms with the southerner after meeting the southerner's ruler, she suddenly found that the party escorting them had walked out of the stone wall.

Looking at the North Wind City behind her, which was getting farther and farther away from her, she was a little dazed in her heart, didn't she want to see His Majesty the Emperor in their mouths, why did she still go out of the city?

But she didn't ask, because someone would help her ask.

Sure enough, Arola, who was in another prisoner car, spoke.

"Hey, where the hell are you taking us? Didn't you say you were going to meet that person?! ”

"Presumptuous! It's to see His Majesty the Emperor! ”

"No, since you're going to see His Majesty the Emperor, why are you still out of the city?"

A soldier laughed contemptuously, and then replied: "I don't know, our Emperor His Majesty is far away in Great Xia City, and this North Wind City is just one of our many cities in Great Xia. Great Xia City, the city wall ......"

The soldiers kept boasting to the two, and the hearts of the two suddenly set off a storm, the scale of the North Wind City seemed incredible enough to them, even if the two of them wanted to break their heads, there were still many cities like this, this so-called Great Xia?

With two prisoner cars, it was cold and snowy, even if it was a cavalry, the speed could not be raised, and the group traveled for three days, and this was the arrival of Great Xia City.

After years of development by Xia Qi. There is no doubt that today's Great Xia City is definitely the most prosperous and majestic city in Great Xia!

Looking at the majestic city from afar, Rowling and Alola, who were imprisoned in the prison car, instantly became dumbfounded.

How could they have been staying in the ice and snow, how could they imagine the prosperity of Great Xia City?

I thought it was just the soldier's boasting, but I didn't expect that all this was true, and even exceeded!
