Chapter 196: Secret Meeting
Headquarters, Canopy Research Institute.
Nesta and other witch doctors' research on elvenism has come to a critical and peaceful period, when the first tree eggs have been laid and the union between sperm and eggs is very smooth;
Next, it is to observe and adjust at any time, and wait for it to grow on its own.
Until the first eggs are officially "harvested", it is not yet known whether the final result will be good or bad;
In order to avoid a "moral dilemma" caused by the repetition of possible mistakes, the subsequent expansion of the "Troll" experiment can only be temporarily suspended.
Therefore, while waiting, most of the witch doctors focused their research on the improvement of a series of "supporting facilities";
For example, the improvement of the "egg bank" and "sperm bank" in the previous goal, as well as more convenient egg retrieval and sperm retrieval equipment.....
And the three advanced witch doctors who took the lead were finally idle for a while, and they were able to shift their attention to other affairs a little.
It was also in such a situation that a series of reports on the front line after the end of the war, during the negotiation phase, were sent to Nesta and other witch doctors in batches.
Broadly speaking, the report was divided into two arrivals;
The first is the attitude of the hornhoofs towards the negotiations and the relevant response of the expeditionary force;
The second part is about the surrender of the three clans and the possible conspiracy in secret.
Nesta is not very interested in the bullshit in the Ministry of Toulon, as long as the knowledge is guaranteed, the rest is left to the ruling government and the front line.
In addition, the parliament has also made a statement, saying that it can use its own credibility to make relevant guarantees in terms of security;
However, this guarantee can only be aimed at the existence of the "survival of the horned hoof", and its internal political turmoil is not within the scope of the parliament's commitment.
In other words, if it is in the interests of the Black Forest to do so, the Ministry will not go out of its way to protect the survival of the existing structure.
Of course, if the forces that came to power afterwards actually hinder the interests of the Black Forest, it is not impossible for the headquarters to forcibly intervene under the banner of putting things in order.
All in all, it is difficult to say whether the priesthood who has the right to speak is a hero, but their ideas are indeed too much, and it is not conducive to peace and long-term peace and stability between the two sides.
Therefore, if the clan alliance itself is competitive enough, and the follow-up promises are indeed in place, then it is very likely that the headquarters will turn a blind eye to the outcome of its internal struggle.
As for personally going down as a knife and helping the alliance of the three clans to eliminate the forces of the rest of the clans? Then it's up to the ruling government to make its own choice....
After making his intentions clear, and after a general discussion in the Parliament, the latest directives of the Rune Council were sent to the ruling government as soon as possible;
After further filling and refining in the Director's Meeting, it was sent to the Forward Command as a "Negotiation and Disposition Policy" that does not involve military arrangements.

The day after the end of the "first round of negotiations", the Witch Doctor and the officers of the Expeditionary Force Camp received a reply from the headquarters and immediately informed them of the terms related to all parties in the city.
Among them, the part of the "commitment of the council" was passed down to both the priests and the clans;
And the rest of the part, after making a screening, secretly expressed a model attitude to the alliance of the three clans and the rest of the clans.
Later, under the pretext of "showing sincerity", the expeditionary force withdrew all patrols from the city, and maintained its strength only in the gap cleared by the collapsed walls.
This is equivalent to saying that from this night onwards, the expeditionary force returned almost all the security of the city to the hornhoof;
As for how long it will be and whether it will be recovered, it all depends on their actions after that.
Not only that, but some of the clan elites, as well as the captives of the Earthshaker Legion, were also secretly released after screening.
Done in a short time
After all this, except for the missing witch doctors, the rest of the expeditionary force members began to wait in silence.
Night is falling, and the last night before the ultimatum is approaching.....
Where is everything heading, and what will be the fate of the new town of Toulon and the hornhoof? Or even the final harvest of this battle is widowhood or abundance? It's all up to the night that is coming....
~~~~~
In the city of New Toulon, the traces of the bloody massacre of a day ago still remain; The bloody smell on the street is like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour.
In this atmosphere, even if the troll army lifted the city ban, most of the horned hoofs still chose to hide in their own houses and did not dare to go out.
In the north of the city, under the "headquarters" of the Earthshaker clan, a secret meeting was urgently convened;
The existing No. 2 and No. 3 "figures" of the 17 clans, representing their new leaders, appeared here, and began to discuss the response to the Priesthood's scheme.
At some point, the discussion on "how to deal with the situation" was deflected by the speeches of a small number of hoofs, and a more radical plan, although not well received, appeared in this meeting for the first time.
"The Black Forest trolls have replied, they have shown their support for the clan, ladies and gentlemen, the Sacrifice has been against us for countless years, and it is time to take them down once and for all."
An uplifting voice announced, and it was the Adler's horned hoof, who had a secret conversation with the Tooth and the witch doctors the night before.
"However, the sacrificial group is also part of the tribe, and without the power of the ancestral altar, how can we deal with the trolls? Do you want to continue the infighting in this situation.....
It is not the bystanders who oppose it, but the Tutun Earth Shaker who wears a layer of "the overall situation is important".
In order to reduce the vigilance of the clans, the three parties of the alliance dug a pit in this positive and negative way before, and then successfully deflected the focus of this meeting.
Just like at this moment, the three members of the alliance and the rest of the clans who are secretly helping each other are carrying out a progressive and paving cooperative expression, gradually increasing everyone's acceptance of the radical plan.
[In view of the general environment,
"I don't agree with this, the sacrificial group is a sacrificial group, and the ancestral altar is the ancestral altar. Before becoming priests, shamans were also one of us; So even if the sacrificial group no longer exists, there will be new shamans in the tribe, how can it be said that "there is no ancestral altar?"
"That's true..... Moreover, these newborn shamans will no longer have the hellish tradition of "breaking away from the clan", they will also be members of the clan, and the strife caused by the appearance of the sacrificial order can disappear completely in our generation."
"That looks like a good thing.... The tribes are twisted together under the leadership of our clans, and it is indeed the right path."
"But the army of trolls is right in front of us, and at this time, we are against the sacrificial group, what can we do to resist the expeditionary force?"
"Resist? Resist what? We have been defeated!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the trolls of the Black Forest have shown their full peace intentions, and they have withdrawn even the garrisons in the city and returned to our people. So, who is holding back the coming of peace now? Who caused the death of our compatriots? And who brought innocent people to a tragic death?"
"It's a sacrificial group! It's these shamans with eyes above the top and delusional hearts! They are the ones who have caused these tragedies! None of this should have happened!"
This question, which evades the important and does not mention the responsibilities of the clans in the area of "smuggling", is very "deafening" and greatly appeals to the representatives of the clans.....
But even this did not dispel the doubts of all clans.
Taking 10,000 steps back, no matter how much there is a dispute between the clan and the sacrificial group, it is also an internal matter of the Toulon Ministry.
And now, on the one hand, the crisis in the outside world has not passed;
On the other hand, it is also because of the perennial struggle between the clan and the sacrifice, actually
A political habit has been formed in the Toulon Ministry.
Therefore, they actually do not have too strong "desire to turn their faces", and always feel that this time the struggle will continue under the conventional category of "fighting for the hearts of the people and fighting for the right to speak", and it will always be repeated.
Seeing that the color was gradually darkening, Tutun was somewhat impatient..... Once tomorrow comes, these guys will not change their position, and if the sacrificial group does choose to compromise in the end, then how can the expeditionary force support him?
"It's time to be the last one to take the medicine...." thought as he glanced in a certain direction.
Sitting over there was one of the other representatives of the three who were secretly connected to the three, and after receiving his hint, the horned hoof blinked, indicating that he understood.....
After that, I saw that his face was full of embarrassment, and his heart seemed to be struggling sharply.
"What's wrong with you, Abuli? What's the matter?" Tutun asked as if he was concerned, and naturally let the rest of the clans also cast their eyes over.
"Ladies and gentlemen..... There is a message .... I hesitated for a long time, but finally I wanted to confess to everyone.....
"What's wrong? If the Alanya clan is in trouble, just say that we will lend a hand!"
"Thank you, Your Excellency Tutun.... In fact, the chief shaman had approached us before and proposed to dismember the other clans, leaving our family alone as a royal family, and ruling the tribe with the shamanic council."
Bang!
A loud bang came, and before the rest of the clans could react to this "hot" news, another troll got up with an angry face and said,
"What? And they promised you, too! What about our Harrimas!"
"What do you mean?" A bewildered hornhoof asked.
The representative of the Harrima clan looked ugly, and after hesitating for a while, he replied as if he had broken a jar,
"The Harimah clan has also received a royal promise from the chief priests..... Who else? Say it all! They are clearly provoking us! Only "dismemberment" is the truest purpose!"
"Uh... Our Safia clan has also been promised royal status.....
"Damn! What the hell are these shamans trying to do?"
"Maybe the strength of the Black Forest trolls attracted them? The sacrificial group seeks to completely dissolve the clan and establish a real spellcaster council regime, like that rune council, speaker or something..... They may have thought that with the troll-like structure of domination, the Toulon tribe would be as powerful as the Black Forest?"
As soon as these words came out, the clans had a clear concept, and the sacrificial group was planning to completely sweep the clans into the garbage can....
Ordinary members may not matter, but these high-level members may have a fate that is worse than death at that time.....
As a result, these clans who didn't know the inside story changed color one after another, and the expressions on their faces were ugly.
"Will the Expeditionary Force support the Sacrifice Order? After all, it is necessary to learn their structure .... The trolls will be happy, right?"
"I don't think so, otherwise the sacrificial group would have been launched now, and if there is the support of the expeditionary force, why would they bother to lure us apart?"
"Well, let's go back and report to our respective leaders, and then we'll send representatives to the Expeditionary Force to command the camp.... Get to know the tone of the Troll Commander."
"It's okay..."
"Be careful, after you get out of this room, I won't be able to help you hide the shamans' sights..."
"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Lord Tutun."
The delegates took their leave, and then returned to their clans through several different tunnels, heading to meet with the old and new clan leaders.
