Before the casualties are seen, it's just a number.

But when the nearly 600 brand-new and still hot corpses in front of him were dragged close by the moose herd, the huge impact felt directly on his heart.

At this moment, the chief priest seemed to understand what kind of things he was using to "gamble...... A feeling called "regret" began to spread in his heart from this point on.

And like a poison, it soaked every inch of his flesh and blood in an instant.

"Poof!"

A mouthful of blood shot out of the chief priest's mouth in front of everyone's eyes, and his body was also shaky, as if he could not even sit still....

"Chief Priest! Chief Priests! Cheer yourself up."

The scenery in front of him was gradually eroded by blood red, and there were faint signs of shifting into darkness;

In my ears, the anxious calls of the two shamans, and the hateful voice of the troll commander....

"Daba! How did you kill so many? Remember to go back and get ten lashes!"

"Haha! These idiots are going to get under my axe themselves! Daba, I can't persuade it~"

"You can't faint... I can't faint..."

The chief priest forcibly lifted himself, and under the influence of his strong will, the darkness and dizziness that had fallen before receded little by little, and the vision finally gradually returned to normal.

While the chief priest took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality, his performance was always observed by the officers and the witch doctors.....

Giant Fang, for example, sensed the die-hard's inner wavering, and his mind was spinning wildly, trying to use this to exert some pressure again, completely crushing his spirit.

The witch doctors' reactions were even quicker, and the chief priest's vomiting of blood, and his weak gesture before vomiting blood, made them keenly aware of a little .....

In other words, the horned hoofs are far from being as tough as they appear, and they are by no means truly determined to "burn the jade"!

The witch doctors finally made up their minds, and their voices rang out in the ears of the Great Fang again.

"Giant Fang, we'll go over right ......"

Although he didn't understand why the witch doctors had changed their minds and decided to come forward to participate in the negotiation in person, Giant Fang still resisted the "threat pressurization" that he was about to blurt out, and waited patiently.....

Not long after, seven footsteps rang out from the next tent, and after a burst of closing and closing, they approached this direction.

Outside the tent, Daba, who had already walked to the door while talking and laughing, also put away the unruliness on his face at this time;

He quietly stepped aside, tilted his head to take a peek at what was happening inside and out, and got out of the way in confusion and a little cuteness.

Daba still clearly remembers how he was "trapped" by his own witch doctor, and how he was beaten by the "enemy" witch doctor, that is, Nesta, from his tribe;

Soon after that, as his knowledge and knowledge grew, he gradually understood what was happening.

And from this, I made up my mind that I would definitely stay away from these strong and cunning bad guys in the future..... Of course, the Great Pioneer is not among them.

Daba's psychological reaction was left aside for the time being, after all, there was not much distance between the two big tents, and soon, seven witch doctors, who looked taller than all the high-ranking officers in the tent, appeared one after another in front of the hole in the wall that had been broken.

Each of them is about three meters tall, and the first two are even close to three meters two, which is more powerful and imposing than any officer in the tent.

And the large holes that the soldiers had knocked out before, which seemed to be unusually wide in the eyes of the horned hoof, were used by them to "observe" the beheads of their compatriots, and at this time, they also seemed a little narrow compared to the figures of these seven witch doctors;

Therefore, they walked to the gate that had existed earlier, bowed their heads slightly, and burrowed into the leaky room.

"Your Excellency the Witch Doctor!" large

Several officers, including Ya, immediately got up and stroked their chests to salute, and Daba also crept in, silently returning to his seat and sitting down.

"Sit down, the expeditionary force is led by you after all, so you don't need to pay attention to us guys."

It was our old friend Gonzalo who had not been seen for a long time;

He was one of the first witch doctors in the Black Forest to become naturalized, and by this time he had already completed the reform of the path, becoming a true member of the Rune Council, enjoying all the same rights as other witch doctors;

Behind him, the other six witch doctors also nodded their heads at this time, and under Gonzalo's leadership, they came to the side where the teeth were and sat down casually.

The shamans had already seen the witch doctor through the Water Curtain, but most of the rest of the hornhooves had met them for the first time.

"Is this really the spellcaster?"

This kind of question appeared in their hearts, and the witch doctors' figures, which were even more exaggerated than the warriors of their own race, made the horned hoofs feel incredible....

All in all, in the midst of all the thoughts, the big tent, which had been noisy for a while, was quiet for the time being.

And Gonzalo had already sat down at this time, and after looking around, he said firmly,

"The Chief Priests of the Toulon Tribe, and the rest of the honorable Excellencies, the official members of the Black Forest Rune Council, the members of the military council, the chief witch doctor of the expeditionary force, and the representative of the council, Gonzalo, are here to greet you."

As he spoke, he stroked his chest slightly and bowed, and then sat down again without waiting for a response from the other side to continue,

"In view of the differences between the two sides on certain issues, and the misjudgment of the situation by His Excellency the Chief Priest, in order not to increase our own risks and unnecessary casualties of your troops, we, the witch doctors, who do not want to waste time, have to suspend our work and come before you."

"I'm not here to negotiate, not to talk too much, but to make a clear and clear statement."

Halfway through his words, Gonzalo's gaze turned to the chief priest, who had already reined in his previous decline and had a little more expectation in his eyes, and said with a serious expression and solemn words,

"Your Excellency the Chief Priest of Toulon, I must tell you two things explicitly."

"Say..."

"First, the Black Forest is a region with clear responsibilities, and the command of the expeditionary force has been handed over to the Giant Fang Commander before the expedition, and although we witch doctors have the responsibility to supervise, we do not have the power to arbitrarily interfere in military affairs."

"Only with the agreement of our seven council representatives can we temporarily strip him of this great power, which was given directly to him by the Rune Council, and the specific reasons for this need to be reported to the headquarters immediately."

"You probably understand me when I say that?"

「....」

"Okay, I'll just assume that you understand, then let's talk about this second ......"

"Second, as far as your Ministry's knowledge inheritance is concerned, our Ministry is indeed very greedy..... I don't need to deny this, presumably wise as you have already made a basic judgment?"

[In view of the general environment,

"Yes.... Knowledge is of paramount importance to any race that aspires to civilization and civilisation; As a fellow spellcaster, I understand your desire."

The chief shaman responded.

"Yes, you are right, I am impressed by the acuity of the chief priests..... But in the previous discussions, we seven witch doctors were not able to reach a consensus among themselves."

「？」

"Among my colleagues, there are several who are staunchly opposed to any form of compromise; They believe that even if we back down, it will only make you more insatiable and delay the delivery of the legacy indefinitely."

"We..."

"Don't talk yet, listen to me analyze the risks that this situation will bring to your department."

Gonzalo waved his hand, quite resolutely, interrupting the chief priest's attempt to defend himself, and continued,

"You may not know what the sum of two means

Then I'll tell you clearly.....

"While we would love to gain your knowledge, if you wear down the patience of the commanders sitting here like this..."

"Well, if the witch doctors can't agree.... In fact, there is no way for us to stop His Excellency Tooth, and any order given by the Greatfang, all members of the expeditionary force will choose to obey his command."

"That is to say, these reckless men can trample your tribes, slaughter your people, and then burn down on the altar of the ancestors;

"And if that happens, there will not really be any officer held accountable by the council for it, except the Supreme Commander himself;"

"What does that mean? As you can guess.... Yes, they don't actually have to pay a superfluous price afterwards for their act of raising the butcher's knife."

"Even the Supreme Commander himself is only facing temporary confinement and a certain degree of physical punishment."

"However, Lord Greattooth has at least one hundred and fifty years to live in this life, and he has plenty of time to regain the trust of the President and the members of the Council."

"Perhaps, more than ten years later, when the damage caused by what he did this time is gradually forgotten by everyone, Commander Megatooth may have a chance to lead the army again?"

"Even if it doesn't work in more than ten years, what about decades? What if it doesn't work for a hundred years? One day the Black Forest will forgive him for his impulsiveness, and our Commander, Your Excellency, will indeed have that time to wait..."

"But, Lord Priests.... What about you? Do you have this chance to do it all over again?"

"At that time, maybe there would be nothing left of the Toulon department? Only the ruins of some wars barely prove that there was once a civilized tribe that survived here."

"So, Your Excellency the Chief Priest, and the representatives of the clans, can you really afford to gamble?"

On the other side of the table, the faces of several shamans were already becoming more and more solemn at this time, while those clan representatives were filled with fear and unwillingness in their hearts and minds.

"Of course, the loss of the inheritance is a pity in the eyes of us witch doctors, so we don't want to suffer this loss until we have to."

"So, in order to prevent you from being wiped out and we from losing our knowledge, I have a proposal to share with you.... No, to be more precise, this is the culmination of a notice, a joint effort by the Seven Witch Doctors, and I need your answers..."

"That is, the Toulon Ministry must hand over all knowledge inheritance immediately, 'immediately', 'immediately, and in a short time', which is our non-negotiable bottom line;"

"In exchange, we will secure a formal written resolution on 'security' for your ministry in Parliament, and pass it on to the ears of all the trolls in the Black Forest;"

"This is an unprecedented guarantee at the expense of the Runeterra Council's credibility in the Black Forest, and presumably it will be enough for your ministry to survive here, right?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, our purpose is to gain knowledge, and as for the output of your Ministry.....

"Truth be told, it is almost worthless in our eyes, but the reparations that the defeated deserve must exist, which is both a wake-up call for you and a consolation for the Black Forest;"

"However, we can negotiate more reasonable terms of compensation in Parliament, thereby alleviating some of the burden on your Ministry in this regard, and the consistency of the outcome with the fulfillment can likewise be guaranteed by the credibility of the Parliament."

"Finally, allow me to say a word from my heart, as the first intelligent civilization that the Black Forest trolls have ever encountered."

"The Toulon horn hoof species has a special meaning for us.... In the future, more civilized races will meet us, and your situation will be one of the best self-introductions in the Black Forest, a clear proof of our commitment to peace and coexistence."

"Therefore, all members of the council, including me, would never want to see you disappear into the river of history if it were not necessary

The drama happens..."

"But please remember that this is only "if it is not necessary", if your ministry still has some untimely ideas.... For example, they try to use the inheritance of knowledge to blackmail the council and the trolls of the Black Forest, and they do not recognize their status as vanquished."

"So... The only thing that awaits you is complete slaughter, and your shamans, your clan representatives, and the tribes and clans behind you will be completely wiped out of this world."

"That's all I have to say, I hope that Your Excellency the Chief Priest, as well as the rest of the shamans and clan representatives, will seriously consider my above statement when you return, after all, your time is limited..."

"Only two days, before the sun rises for the second time after sunset, I will be here to hear your answers;"

"Remember, you only have two options: agree or deny;"

"If it is the former, after handing over all the inheritance and knowledge, everything will be negotiable, and the promise I made before will take effect immediately, and we will help your ministry to fight for compensation-related matters;"

"If you choose the latter..... The expeditionary force may be able to return to the Black Forest in three days, and here... There will be no trace of civilization left."

"Alright, then please leave on your own later.....

The words fell, and Gonzalo didn't leave the other party a chance to open his mouth, and straightened up and left.

Behind him, the other six witch doctors, who had been listening quietly, also got up and walked towards the door.

As the witch doctors left one after another, only the two previous parties remained in the negotiation tent.....

Giant Fang sneered at this time, and said to the horned hoof,

"Guys, I'm just waiting for the moment when the butcher's knife falls in two days.... Don't let me down? Let's go too~"

With that, he waved his hand to the officers seated to his left and right, and then got up to leave first.

Behind him, Daba, Cui Wenli and other officers also glanced at the other side defiantly, and then got up without saying a word to follow.
