** Saruman had already reported the situation of the Warcry Tribe to Barbarossa two days earlier, but His Majesty clearly wanted to hear Marlowe repeat it again.

"Boy, what do you eat in winter, is the two-legged animal in your mouth enough to feed enough people?"

The two-legged animal refers to the slaves captured by the orcs every year, and the human kingdom has always circulated the legend that the orcs like to eat slaves, and this saying does not know when it spread among the human people.

"Your Majesty, this is a biased misunderstanding, and even the red-skinned orcs of Orim would never do such a thing in the grasslands. Marlowe knew that if he wanted to achieve his goal this time, he had to solve the misunderstanding between the two sides as much as possible, so he had to restrain the sourness in his heart to explain.

"The reason why the tribe has been able to avoid participating in the cold winter war in the past few years after the war is because our tribe has received food that can be grown on the grassland, although the yield of this food is not high, and the taste is not good, but at least this is the hope that we can live in peace between the two sides, and it has indeed allowed my people to enjoy a precious and peaceful life.

Your Majesty, the soil of the grassland is only suitable for growing weeds, and if there are no food crops that can adapt to the grassland environment, then there will definitely not be enough food reserves in spring, summer and autumn, which is why the orcs of the grassland come to Victor every year to plunder the grain, and they have to do this for the sake of their wives and children. ”

Marlowe said this, and pulled out a small bag sewn from his bosom, and he handed the bag to Paul, hoping that the latter should be sent to Barbarossa.

"You sent it yourself, and my dignified King St. George is still afraid of your assassination?" said Barbarossa, glaring.

The other party has such a request, of course Marlowe must cooperate, but Paul is a little worried, he believes that his brother will not do anything bad to his father, but his king father likes to be hands-on, especially when facing orcs.

But what Paul feared didn't happen.

Marlowe walked up to Barbarossa with the leather bag, and then gently lowered the bag to retreat, but heard the king say, "Do you want me to open it myself?"

Well, the other party is the king, the father of my brother. Marlowe opened the bag with such thoughts, and then gently poured the grain seeds in the bag on the table, only to see that the seeds were yellow in color and shriveled.

Barbarossa, who visited Victor every year, could see at a glance that this seed was very bad, I am afraid that even the food grown in the most barren land of St. George could not be compared, he stretched out his calloused hand and grabbed a small handful of seeds, no way, this time the Warcry tribe suffered heavy losses and the population has increased a lot, Marlowe must leave as many seeds as possible for the tribe, so this time he came to St. George with only a small sample.

"That's what you're talking about?" Barbarossa picked up a seed, then rubbed his fingers, leaving him with an earthy yellow powder, which he put in his mouth and tasted, then shook his head and spat on it. "This tastes like you're eating loess, and that's what you're going to eat?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

"Are you sure?"

"If you don't believe me, then ask Paul and Gandalf, they lived with us for a few days, and I think their words are the most convincing. Marlowe looked sideways at the two men mentioned.

Barbarossa also looked up and said, "You two come and see, this is the grain they grew themselves?"

Paul couldn't wait to trot up to his father, then craned his neck to look at the seeds in his father's hand, and then replied, "Yes, father, I saw that the orcs of the Warcry tribe grow food. ”

The master cast a spell, and a seed flew into his hand, he threw the seed into his mouth and chewed it, and then said: "It's this earthy smell, I haven't eaten something so hard to swallow for many years, but not long ago I saw those orcs eating the batter made of this grain with a happy face, I tasted it, and the taste was ...... Full of bitterness......"

The two of them replied that Marlowe was telling the truth, and Barbarossa looked at the seed in his hand and asked, "Can you tell me what the yield of this grain is?"

If someone else asks this question, then Marlowe will definitely suspect the other party's motives, human beings have never touched the grassland because the grassland cannot grow food, if you want to establish a human town on the grassland, then the transportation of food is a lot of money, with human nature will definitely try to escape from the grassland, and the population will not be able to firmly root there due to this constraint.

What's more, Barbarossa is Paul's father, the king of a country with a large grain-producing province like Victor, this kind of grain must be worthless in the eyes of the other party, and its use value is too low.

Therefore, Marlowe decided to tell the truth: "One mu can produce 160 catties of grain, and the planting cycle is more than five months, so you can only plant one season a year." ”

Hearing Marlowe's answer, Barbarossa looked at the weed-like seed in his hand, stared at it for a long time, and then picked up the leather bag on the table, only to see him carefully put the seed back and hand it back to Marlowe.

"The most barren area of Victor can produce more than 300 catties of grain per mu, and in the area with fertile soil, it can even reach more than 500 catties per mu, and the taste of this grain you grow is really ......" His Majesty the King suddenly sighed a little inexplicably, this Tunak War Cry is really a character.

"Marlowe, do you and your father really want to end the war that has been going on between us for thousands of years?"

"Of course, there is not a day that my father does not desire to give the tribes of the steppe a life of food and clothing, and I am no different. Marlowe said this on behalf of his father, and he was also expressing his wishes.

Barbarossa stood up, he passed Marlowe and walked to the window of the council chamber and whispered, "It's time to end......"

"Do you two know?" said Barbarossa, turning abruptly to look at Paul and Marlowe. In fact, St. George was already overwhelmed, and countless human and financial resources were expended every year on the cold winter war, and if it were not for the food-producing province of Victor, the country would have been annexed by someone else. ”

Marlowe heard the king's words that St. George's situation seemed to be as bad as that of the Warcry Tribe. (Tonight's first and second chapters may be past the wee hours of the morning.) ）
