Chapter 285: Negotiation

After the end of the war, the town was restored to peace, and with the help of the Avengers brought by Renault and the captured mechanical legions, the town that had been dilapidated by the war was quickly restored to its original state, and the destroyed houses were easily restored because the foundations were still there.

By the time Lucius led Vabelan and the General, who had replaced the mechanical core, out of Hopkin's adoptive parents' house, the town had long since regained its former peace and tranquility, and the townspeople went home to rest.

For the people of the small town who had become soldiers before, it was like experiencing a very ordinary farm work, and after the hard work, they went home to sleep, and there was no tension and urgency of war at all.

Lecius walked in the quiet town, listening to the sound of his shoes stepping on the bluestone road in the town, and suddenly felt very happy, and couldn't help but sigh: "Well, in fact, the peaceful town is still very comfortable, but unfortunately, this kind of peace and tranquility is always short-lived." ”

Hopkin, who was next to him, heard Lucius's exclamation, and couldn't help but turn his head and ask, "Brother, haven't we already won? Why don't you seem to be happy?"

At this moment, Hopkin seems to be infected by the calm and peaceful atmosphere in the town, and becomes more like a little girl next door, which makes people involuntarily feel a trace of pity and want to take care of her.

Lucius stretched out his hand to put his arm around Hopkin, brushed her hair in a bun affectionately, and said with a smile: "Hehe, nothing, why am I not happy? My plan has broken the plan of the mechanical castle, let us win this war, of course I am happy, but we have not won the final victory, so we should be overjoyed." ”

Hopkin tilted his head and thought about it when he heard this, then nodded like a little adult and said, "Well, my brother is right, we can't be overly happy, because the mechanical castle hasn't been taken down yet." ”

"yes. So let's hurry up and meet with the others to discuss how we should deal with the attack of the mechanical castle and how to launch a counterattack, shall we?"

Hopkin nodded in agreement, and then the siblings led Vabelen and the general to Reynolds' house.

In the room, the leaders of the Avenger tribes, as well as Du Liniang and others, were waiting there, and when they saw Lucius and Hopkin leading Vabelen and the general into the house, almost all of them stood up.

The leaders of the Avengers. Seeing the hostility of Vabriel and the General suddenly released, it was obvious that they did not trust the two mechanical demon leaders, and they still had a deep prejudice against machines.

Although Lucius noticed it, he didn't say much, but smiled and said to everyone: "After making everyone wait for a long time, after dealing with some things, I immediately rushed over, thank you for coming to support, then I think Renault has told you the conditions for cooperation." Is your presence here a sign that you have agreed to cooperate?"

Lucius's words startled everyone present, and the leaders of the Avengers looked at Renault, as if things were a little different from what they had thought.

Or maybe most of the people present didn't expect it. The first thing Lucius said after he appeared was actually like this.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and finally the green-skinned orc leader stood up and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I'm afraid things are not what you say. ”

"Oh, is there anything else wrong? Renault didn't tell you the conditions? Since you're here, doesn't that mean you agree to those conditions?"

Lucius's voice just fell. The swarthy leader of the Black Iron Dwarves stood up and shouted, "Hey, human, don't be confused. We came to help, because we didn't want you to get into trouble, do you think if we don't come, this town will still survive?"

"Well, the black iron dwarves, the green-skinned orcs, the high elves, and even the gnomes, I really can't imagine that there are quite a few races on this plain. ”

Listening to Lucius's words, the leader of the green-skinned half-orcs said disdainfully: "Hmph, we half-orcs, black iron dwarves, and high elves are the aborigines of this grass sea plain, and those gnomes are a group of foreign guys like you humans. ”

"Hehehe......" Lucius said with a friendly smile, "But, if it weren't for our human beings, I'm afraid the Caohai Plain would still be in the midst of war, right?"

Lucius's words caused the leaders of the three clans to look at each other, but they only glanced at each other, and they quickly looked away, the contempt and hatred that flashed in their eyes were barely concealed.

But then, the leader of the High Elves, a handsome elven warrior in armor, stood up and said, "Your Excellency, our previous conflict does not affect our cooperation. ”

"Well, that's good, so let's talk about how we should deal with the mechanical castle next, or rather, how are we going to attack the mechanical castle?"

"Wait......" In addition to the orcs, black iron dwarves, and high elf leaders, even Renault spoke out to stop Lucius this time.

Lucius was not angry, but still smiled and looked at the few people and asked, "Do you have any questions?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Renault stood up and said: "Your Excellency Lucius, we came to help this time because we didn't want to see the town destroyed, not because we agreed to your conditions, we feel that your conditions are a little inappropriate, so we must talk about it again." ”

Hearing this, Lucius did not hesitate, and said very directly: "Okay, since you have an opinion, then say it, and if you want to talk about it, you can talk about it openly and honestly." ”

Renault looked at each other again and made eye contact for a moment, and finally the green-skinned orc stood up and said, "You said before that after we conquer the mechanical castle, the ownership of the castle must belong to the Clover family?"

"Naturally, because this castle was originally built by my family, it naturally belongs to us, is there anything wrong with this?"

The black iron dwarf replied: "Of course it's not proper, in the first place, not only you humans contributed to the construction of that castle, but also our various races also contributed to the effort, how can it belong only to your family in the end? ”

"Oh, so what do you mean is that we will work together to regain the castle control first, and then we will fight again, and finally the winner will get the castle control?"

The black iron dwarf nodded and said, "That's natural, since we all don't want each other to get that castle, then let's just fight again." ”

Hearing the words of the Black Iron Dwarf, and looking at the other leaders of the various clans present, he found that the half-orcs and the High Elves seemed to agree, and even Renault also recognized the Black Iron Dwarf's statement, Lucius couldn't help but pat his forehead and said, "Hey, what a group of barbarians, how can you just think about violence to solve the problem?"

Without waiting for the leaders to speak, Lucius continued: "I don't think violence is a good solution to the problem, so I won't agree." ”

"Besides, that castle belongs to my family, even if your ancestors participated in the construction of the castle, but most of the design and construction of the entire castle is the business of our Clover family, I agree to share the entire city with all clans, but the ownership must be ours. ”

"No......" As soon as Lucius's voice fell, it immediately aroused the opposition of the leaders of the Avengers, and several leaders obviously did not approve of Lucius's solution.

The green-skinned orc took two steps forward to approach Lecius, showed off the muscles on his body and said: "This is a world that pays attention to strength, so the ownership of that mechanical castle must be decided by strength, you clover family, if you really have strength, how can you let the castle be occupied by those metal machinery for so long?"

Hearing the words of the green-skinned half-orc, Du Liniang and the others were all surprised, they knew Lucius very well, and knew that this seemingly calm, always smiling, full of sunshine like a big boy kid, with his own reverse scales, once he was offended, it was definitely very terrifying.

Du Liniang and the others all took two steps back, trying to distance themselves from the Avenger leaders, and at the same time they all looked at Lucius worriedly, wanting to see if he was provoked.

Lecius still had a smile on his face, smiling like a sunny boy, and reached out and gently nudged Hopkin, letting Hopkin go to Du Liniang's side.

Hopkins was also very obedient, and quickly ran to Du Liniang's side, seeing Lucius pushing Hopkins away, Du Liniang knew very well that Lucius had been provoked, and he was already planning to explode mercilessly, and everyone took two steps back again to avoid being injured by mistake.

After pushing Hopkin away, Lecius also did not step forward, approached the green-skinned half-orc who was much taller than himself and had bare muscles, looked up at the other party and said, "Hmm, you want to solve the problem with strength?"

Lowering his head to meet Lucius's cold gaze, the green-skinned orc suddenly felt a burst of horror, feeling the sharpness contained in Lucius's gaze, and was a little afraid to face Lecius's gaze.

However, for the sake of face, even though he looked away from facing Lucius, he still said very stiffly: "Of course, the Caohai Plain has always spoken with strength, just like those ancestors of yours, who have enough strength, so they convince our clans, but now? ”

"Okay, good, then I'll show you what I'm capable of. ”

As he spoke, Lucius's face became hideous, and at some point he had already brought the mechanical fist made for Hopkin, and waved his fist unceremoniously to give the green-skinned orc an uppercut.

The green-skinned orc didn't take Lucius seriously at all, definitely Lucius was just a fist and a leg, and the fist didn't have any power at all, but when Lucius's fist hit him on the chin, the green-skinned orc immediately realized that he was wrong, and it was very wrong.

But he had no chance to regret it, because when the mechanism in the Lucius fist was running, the powerful kinetic energy was poured into the fist glove, and the power displayed by the punch directly blasted the green-skinned orc away.

The green-skinned orc pierced through the wooden roof of Renault's house and fell to the town square with a scream. (To be continued......)
