Yaling brought Mandheling coffee.

Sal, who was sitting upright on the reception sofa in a suit, took a sip in Juan's example.

The sour bitterness made Sal frown.

"I'm used to drinking coffee without sugar, you must not be used to drinking it just now, come, I'll help you add two pieces of sugar."

"Well, it tastes much better."

Under Juan's enthusiasm, Sal's brow was loosened, and along with him, his restraints were loosened.

"I heard that your father is the orc patriarch Durotan."

"Yes."

"Can you talk to him, let's get along amicably, don't fight?"

"I could have brought the message, but he won't listen now."

"'Now' won't listen?"

"Yes, I can't beat him now, and when he gets old and I can beat him, he will listen."

"This, does father and son also need to speak with strength?"

"Yes, my dad never listens to orcs who are weaker than him, even if they have a point."

"What if you deliberately say the opposite?"

"My father's 'don't listen' is to ignore it completely, even if what you say is what he is doing, he will only do what he thinks, and he will not be influenced by you at all."

"Ah, that's right, it's a very stubborn character."

"It's also tenacious, that's why he became the orc patriarch."

"Well, it's a bad habit not to listen to people, and if he insists on going against us, he will definitely regret it."

"I have no doubt about that."

"Hehe, so confident in our big leagues?"

"Yes, I have been watching and learning all this time, and I have deeply realized that the orc set is backward, not in line with the trend of the times, and will inevitably be eliminated."

"Wait, how did you sound familiar, where did I learn it?"

"I heard it from the instructor's recording, and I thought it made sense, so I learned it."

"Instructor? Where's the instructor? Do we have instructors? ”

"It's a recording from General Thorin for me, a quote from an army instructor that he treasured, converted into an orc version through translation software."

"Ah, it's Thorin, I say it feels familiar.

"He's a good set of things, but you have to learn with your brain, so that the effect of reducing intelligence is obvious."

"Yes, that's good, now we orcs are learning, including the group of orcs who surrendered from Kesselring Pass, they have joined our team."

"Very well," Juan took a sip of his coffee and changed the subject, "I heard you have a wolf." ”

"Yes, 'Purr', she's my baby."

"Go pick it up."

"Really? I, I thought, you wouldn't agree with me going over. ”

"Why do you think that?"

"Because I'm a captive, and in the orc tribe, a captive can't leave the master's sight."

"That's not a captive, that's a slave, and with us, there are no slaves.

"We, the Human Alliance, abolished 'slave' early on, replacing it with 'house slave', 'kanu', and other mild words.

"So, Sal, now that you've learned the quote from Instructor Thorin, you should understand that we are for 'freedom, equality, and democracy', and that we don't treat any humanoid creature as a slave."

"Yes, 'freedom, equality and democracy,' General Sorin often talks about it, and I, I'm still a little uncomfortable."

Sal raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Juan handed the other party a napkin: "Sal, as a councilor of the Grand League, you are free, you can go wherever you want." ”

"Yes, I'm free, I can go anywhere, I'm so stupid, I never realized this, in fact, I could have gone to the women's toilet a long time ago, every time I passed by, I wanted to go in and have a look, but I was afraid of other people's accusations, but in fact, I didn't need to be afraid at all, because I was free, I could go into the women's bathroom......"

"No, no, wait, wait, Sal, Sal, you listen to me, you can't go in there."

"Why, didn't you say that I was free and could go anywhere I wanted, I just wanted to go to the women's restroom, why not?"

Sal's eyes were innocent and sincere, and Juan, who was looking at him, couldn't help but want to slap his mouth.

It's not a good time to slap him in the face, and in order to keep the simple Sal from thinking confused, Juan decides to carry out the fool consistently to the end.

"I mean, you can't go 'right now' because you're talking to me right now, and we have something important to talk about."

"Yes, of course, the conversation is more important, I understand, I don't want to go to the women's bathroom now, I just want to go, and I know that I can go, but it doesn't have to be now."

"Okay, you understand, then, where are we?"

"Women's restroom."

"It's not this, it's the front."

"'Purr', my wolf."

"Yes, the wolf, I've heard that the wolf has a very sensitive sense of smell, I wonder if it can smell blood?"

"No problem at all, the wolf is very sensitive to the smell of blood, and when she is downwind, she can smell even a trace of blood even across a mountain."

"Great, Sal, I need your favor, we're under attack from Drow, and those guys are good at stealth.

"But they have an indelible smell of blood, and I need some creatures with a keen sense of smell to help find them, and now it seems that the wolf is the right creature."

"Very gladly, Your Excellency, as a matter of fact, Drow is also a mortal enemy of our orcs.

"According to the elders of the clan, when we orcs hid underground, we were bullied by Drow, and it's time to settle this account."

Thrall paused, then made a suggestion: "Your Excellency, among the orcs who have taken refuge, there are not a few who have wolves like me.

"If you agree, we can form a team of wolf cavalry to hunt down Drow."

Juan picked up the coffee and put it to his lips, probably feeling hot, blew lightly a few times, then carefully took a sip, perhaps thinking it tasted good, and took another sip.

He let the coffee sit in his mouth for a moment, his eyes half-squinted, as if savoring the sourness in the bitterness.

But in fact, Juan is thinking:

The orcs who surrendered, including Thrall, are considered members of the Grand Alliance, but are they really loyal to the Grand Alliance?

Would it be dangerous if they were allowed to build up a wolf cavalry and allow this armed force to operate within the Grand Alliance?

On the other hand, the closed management, and the practice of escorting supply convoys with a small number of dragon warriors, has caused widespread complaints.

This practice can save for a while, but not for a lifetime.

After all, Drow is always out and about, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the elves will never go out to farm.

Therefore, it is indeed the best choice to break the deadlock by letting the wolf with a keen sense of smell and quick action, paired with a strong orc, hunt down Drow.

So, the question is, should you trust Sal or not?
