"Wait!" Miles couldn't help but panic a little more on his face, this food was what they were looking forward to for the winter, and without this food, they would have to wait for death!

"Nia Lawrence, you said we would stop going to the trade to grab food, and you would give us food!"

"I said Miles, the head of the orc race, can't humans believe that this sentence has been left behind by you?" I smiled and my face slowly became gloomy, I am not a decent gentleman, and I am trustworthy with the killer?

"You!" Miles was in a hurry, they would have starved to death without the food! Miles glared at me with his hands clenched into fists.

"Miles, I can tell you that even if your whole clan comes to stop us, I am sure that I will take all this food and retreat with all my body, and at the same time I can bring you a lot of casualties, so don't try to stop us. I puffed up my chest slightly, and said coldly, "Can I sue you and talk to me about credit? Only strength can decide whether what I do is trustworthy or not." ”

"Miles, you, have only three choices, first, starve to death. Second, go and rob the humans in the town. I said with two fingers up.

"And the third?"

I glared at him and slowly raised my third finger: "Give me a hundred men as my soldiers." ”

"Have you been playing us from the beginning?" Miles looked at me with anger on his face, his face pale and his face turned pale.

"No, it was after this partner of mine broke his arm, and I realized that I needed the army, that I was going to play you. Miles' expression changed slightly when he heard the word "cai", and I think he almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

"It's not something I can decide!" Miles was covered with sweat on his forehead, and it was obvious that this food was necessary! But a hundred people, what difference did it make if they handed over the whole clan!

"O almighty god of nature, why are you so cruel to my people!" Miles shouted to the sky, indeed, the whole tribe is nested in this small place, not to say, there is nothing to eat, and now they are forced by me, but, on the one hand, I need troops, on the other hand, I want them all to leave here, the orc tribe, just kidding, stay in such a place, how many years, decades, slowly develop, and wait for the population to go up? At that time, they have already been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial army! Knowing the real Biel, I already understood their fate!

"Miles, let me ask you, how many nobles in your empire get fiefs each year?" I stood quietly in front of him, lowered my fingers, and whispered.

Miles didn't quite want to answer my question, but after a moment of hesitation, he replied, "Less than ten." ”

"How big is the back cover that a nobleman can get?" I continued.

"As large as half a province or as small as a castle. ”

"And how much idle land does your empire have?"

"This ......" The question stopped him, after all, there is such a thing as land, just think about it, you will know that every little is a little less!

Without waiting for him to answer, I continued: "Every year, there are at least five new nobles, and they have to pay at least half a province every year, ten years, that's five provinces, that's just the minimum, how big is Bier?

"......" Miles slowly sweated on his forehead, they had never thought of this kind of problem again, it was natural for them to be shocked, and they only thought about passive development, how many years will it take for a child to grow up? Moreover, their development method is not just a generation of children can grow! Their end must be that the nobles have just left the territory, and then gradually become homeless, or directly in the nobles' woodland, killed and enslaved by the army sent by them.

"I think you also understand the consequences, now is the time for you to choose as the patriarch. I stepped forward and raised my hand and patted him on the shoulder, but I was on tiptoe to meet him.

"But what good is it for our men to be a soldier for you?"

"Neither money nor food will be lacking in you. ”

"Humans can't believe it!" Miles said, his eyes wide.

"Well, I'm using it now, but it's true. I grinned, looked at him and smiled, "So now is the time for you to choose, the choice, is to gamble, bet right, you win, bet wrong, you will be worse than the original." ”

"But ......" Miles hesitated, not to mention the distance, the near, the food, I want to control the power in my hands, in addition to accepting us, they either choose to starve to death, or rob with the empire, if they lose, they will have to die, and if they win, they will also have to die, because they will face the danger of encirclement and suppression by Biel's army!

There is no choice at all!

"I can't let my people die! Even if I starve to death, even if I die to grab food, I can't die in vain!"

"Is my behavior a death in the eyes of others?" I smiled and clapped my hands, Miles and the others were all dazed, and at this moment, there was a dull shaking sound from the earth, and the two figures stood up in the woods not far away!

"What's that?" Miles was stunned, and a half-orc beside him kept pointing to the sky, dumbfounded.

"Giant ...... Giants!

Sea cucumber and Dole, I arranged for them to hide there in advance and wait for me to give orders.

"I still have three giants, five in all, do you think my actions are an early death?" I smiled slightly, Miles was indeed stunned!

"Even if there are giants, five giants...... That's not enough to ...... the Empire" Miles was about to continue, but I ignored him, looking absent-minded, and then crouched down, Miles watched me gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, and was about to yell at me, when suddenly a hamster ran down my arm, fat like a ball of meat.

"Squeak-"

"What ......is this!!!" Before the word "what" could be spoken, suddenly a loud voice rose from the ground, and quickly turned into a huge hamster 15 meters high!

"The Alpine Candy Beast, with the achievement of destroying seven towns in one night, with such siege beasts, with these siege beasts, do you still think that I am sent to death?" I laughed, and then continued, "How, my friend, Miles?

"Yes......" Miles whispered, but that already gave him the answer!

"Nia Lawrence, this matter is very important, and I can't decide it alone!

"Great Elder?" I was slightly stunned, I didn't know that there was such a guy there, I thought that the patriarch would be enough to solve a qiē, but I didn't expect that there would be a great elder up there? Which onion and which garlic are there!

"The person with the highest prestige in our tribe. Miles explained to me, "Serious things need his approval." ”

"Myers. I said, "Aren't you the head of a clan, and where can anyone else take care of such a thing!?"

"He is ...... prestige"

"Bullshit prestige. I said angrily, "When do you need the consent of the elders to start doing things for the patriarch?" What does 'elder' mean? You are in charge of all the affairs of the clan!"

"But the Great Elder has always been ......," Miles was as he spoke, and I interrupted him with a hand.

"Your desire for power is too small to be a good leader. I was silent for a long time and said, "I'm here to tell you when your Great Elder has the highest right to speak." ”

"You?"

"Yes, I'm here to sue you. I said, then suddenly widened my eyes, stared at him and said, "That is, from the time when your Great Elder began to have a desire for power, this desire slowly caused each generation of Great Elder to interfere with the position of the patriarch, and then replaced the supreme voice, you still need to approve of this kind of thing? You are the patriarch!"

After a pause, Miles didn't know what to say, he was struggling, even if he agreed to give me the soldiers, but he might also understand that if you want the Great Elder to pass this, it is impossible to take a few steps!

"Forget it, seeing that you are also embarrassed, take me to your Great Elder, and I will convince him. I said to Miles, who was amazed.

"It's not that easy, Nia Lawrence. ”

"Forget it, it's much easier for me to go than for you to say. "But I need you to help me and speak up to scare him when necessary." ”

"Shock?"

"You are the patriarch, and you have the power to command. ”

"But......" Miles hesitated, as if you were going to rebel against your grandparents, maybe they were wrong, but you couldn't refute them.

"Don't be, who is more important to the life of the clan than the great elder?" I said, and walked over to the rice piles, and took out the two sacks from the spatial ring that I had just put away, "Take it, the food promised to you." ”

......

Miles led us into the tribe, the high wooden fence surrounded the whole tribe, the scene inside was the first time we had seen it, wooden houses, haystacks, firewood, a group of orcs with fluff and horns on their heads, all busy, and seeing us humans also showed a little unfriendliness, sea cucumbers and Dol were left outside, after all, they were too big to come in.

There is a statue in the center of the tribe, I don't know who carved it, the carving is very exquisite, it is definitely not something that these orcs can carve.

Goddess of Nature, I don't think you can be wrong, because most of the alien races believe in the Goddess of Nature, and there are many half-orcs worshipping in front of the statue.

"This is it. "Miles led me to a relatively large wooden house, arguably the largest in the entire tribe, and the so-called Great Elder was inside.

"To be honest, I hate talking to old men. I complained to Miles, and then said to my mates, "You all stay outside, and I'll just go inside." ”
