"Alright, let's open the conditions!"

The cardinal asked helplessly.

As a representative of the church, he has a very high status, coupled with the church's position and the image he has always created, he can faintly represent the major forces.

Hearing this, Zhao Hao did not speak, but looked at the Cold Moon Rose behind him.

The latter stepped forward to replace the opening.

"The lizardmen must pay the price, compensating the Storm Legion for 500,000 units of the Archangel..."

The terrifying data made Morath's eyes widen, and his fists couldn't help but clench.

Too much!

It's no longer a question of whether to pay or not, but whether or not to pay.

Greenham is not an empire-level power.

But it is a tribal alliance itself, and its dominance is not as high as imagined.

Not to mention the wealth of reserves, which had been plundered by the army led by the Dragon Queen long ago, how could it be taken out.

Well, even if it is a kingdom power, it can only come up with so many things in peacetime.

Neither the class nor the resources are what they are willing to give.

Too much!

Especially the troops.

Now the major forces are already afraid of the Storm Legion, and if they add so many champion ranks, it will be no different from suicide.

In the past, it was because of the pain of the dragon queen's skin that it was convenient to give it openly and secretly.

Now that the underground army led by the Dragon Queen has been defeated, and the next step is to find a way to limit the Storm Legion, how can he give him the champion class.

Not to mention 500,000 units, even if it is 50,000 units, they are not willing.

It's not the lion opening its mouth, it's the dragon's mouth.

"This condition is not realistic!"

The cardinal archbishop vetoed it directly.

Even if he didn't consult with others, he knew that there was no possibility of this condition.

In fact, this is also Zhao Hao's plan.

He hadn't thought of letting the lizardmen go so easily.

Since the other party is unwilling to surrender, let it become a stepping stone to his own growth.

"No, this asking price is already very fair, you know, in order to defeat the dragon, we paid..."

Cold Moon Rose argues with reason.

Now that she represents Zhao Hao, she is naturally qualified to speak.

And in her words, the Storm Legion can be said to have given everything in order to solve the Dragon Queen, and if the major forces do not agree to this compensation, it will be completely ungrateful.

It can only be said that a subordinate with a full diplomatic talent is indeed a lot of peace of mind.

At least Zhao Hao didn't need to argue with them himself.

Even if the Cold Moon Rose is an enemy, it will not fall behind.

They are not afraid to delay time!

It can only be said that with the Storm in hand, you can do whatever you want.

If it weren't for the Storm, then the swamp would be a nightmare, and it would be completely useless to want to stay there for a long time.

On the swamp side, Zhao Hao already had a detailed plan.

Fat!

What is a nightmare place for others is too fat for him to be fat.

Can be used as a reward and bait!

Players and underground creatures alike will probably not mind occupying swamp territory.

The swamp is too harsh for the castle humans and the fortress elves.

But neither the player nor the Underworld race is picky.

For example, the southwest region of Eloran, although it has now become the player's territory, the elves have been eyeing it.

It's different on Greenham's side.

Once you get rid of the Lizardmen, it's a paradise.

The most important thing is to be safe enough.

The harsh natural environment also means that it is easy to defend.

And the major forces will not fight them to the end because of this kind of territory.

Therefore, players will definitely be interested in it, and there are ways to overcome the harsh natural environment.

Not to mention the Underworld!

No matter how bad Greenham is, what worse can it be than the underworld?

The underground races frantically invaded the surface world, not because they wanted to vent their resentment, but also because they wanted to live in the environment.

No matter how bad the surface world is, it is better than the best underground world!

This is the consensus of almost all Underground races.

If Zhao Hao occupies Greenham, he will have a territory to settle the dragonborn who have taken refuge in him.

There are many dragonborns under the command of the dragon queen, and what there is no territory.

It was possible to send it to the New World, but it would take too much time and effort, and it would be too slow.

Now there's an opportunity to occupy Greenham in the north.

No one else can do it.

Because the biggest difficulty in the swamp is food and supplies, which is why the lizardmen can become the overlord of the swamp.

In other camps, even if Greenham is given to the other side, they don't want it.

But Storm Collar is different!

In terms of food, due to the presence of the Storm Collar, it can be provided until it is self-sufficient.

At the same time, both the player and the underground race have stronger survivability than ordinary people.

Players, in particular, can be converted into a grain field as long as they can be paid enough.

This is also why Zhao Hao wanted to howl after knowing that the lizardman betrayed.

If the other party really takes refuge in himself, then he is still embarrassed to attack him.

But since the other party betrayed, it won't be soft to clean up.

Well, that is, if you want to stay in the alliance, you have to find an excuse.

If it were the axis, no one would think it was wrong to slaughter it directly.

Let's ask, there is such a big temptation, how can Zhao Hao 'forgive' the lizardman.

The Cold Moon Rose seems to be making an offer, but it doesn't actually want to talk about it.

In the end, the negotiations naturally broke up.

After the adjournment of the meeting.

Zhao Hao received several invitations.

The previous Storm Legion didn't qualify for this.

But now that he has shown his combat effectiveness, he has become a giant.

Although it is still far from the imperial level, the kingdom level is not a problem.

The point is that the combat power is not as dispersed as the empire, and the influence can be imagined.

After Zhao Hao considered it, he finally declined these invitations.

Because he knows very well that being too deeply involved with these forces can indeed be beneficial, but there will also be dangers.

The water is too deep!

If you really get involved, you might drown.

Therefore, it is good to completely separate affairs with these forces, and as long as there are interests anyway, the other party will not reject them.

For example, exchanging food for high-level resources!

In the past, the storm leader took the initiative to find the door.

Now it's the major forces begging them to change, or is it in short supply.

Thankfully, this has been done through several major player forces, making the Storm Territory less visible.

No matter how precious high-level resources are, they can never be eaten as food, so a large number of high-level resources are exchanged for food every day.

"By the way, you inform the people of the Principality of Greyhounds, and say that I want to see them!"

When Zhao Hao left the palace, he confessed to the Cold Moon Rose.

The latter nodded slightly.

Next, several people headed out of the city.

Since the meeting is over, Zhao Hao naturally wants to leave.

Time is so precious, he won't waste it in the Bucks King's Capital.

After converging the Valkyrie army, they flew some distance before heading towards the place indicated by the Cold Moon Rose.

It didn't take long.

The army landed in a forest.

"I've already asked the Duchy of Lingti to meet here!"

The intelligence ability of the Hundred Flowers Club has grown a lot after having the support of the Storm Leader, so it can also quickly transmit information in the Bucks King.

It's just that what Cold Moon Rose doesn't understand is why she wants to see the Duchy of Greyhound.

No matter what you think, you shouldn't meet each other, right?

But doubts are doubts, she didn't ask the reason, her task is to do things, not to question.
