Chapter 245: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

Hearing this, the old dwarf, who was called the eldest brother, suddenly became angry for some reason.

"If he doesn't see you, won't you go to see him?"

The dwarf who spoke hurriedly explained, "I bought off his men, and although I met the eldest prince, he didn't pay any attention to me at all. ”

The old dwarf said angrily, "You didn't show him the contents of the space bracelet?" That's most of the wealth of our dwarf tribe now, isn't he excited? ”

"At that time, I also wanted to show the eldest prince what was inside, but he didn't care at all, and just let people out without saying anything, and threw out this space bracelet too, he didn't plan to continue to cooperate with us at all."

The Great Elder sighed deeply when he heard this, and the anger between his eyebrows turned into a deep sadness, and then he asked with almost the last bit of strength.

"You guys, do you have anything to say?"

Everyone present suddenly looked helpless when they heard this, you look at me, I look at you, but in the end, no one spoke.

"Don't any of you want to talk now? Don't you understand how you came to Red Flame City? Didn't you see the expectant eyes of the people before leaving? Are you ready to repay those who have trusted you with such results? ”

A series of questions made the gnomes present all ashamed, they naturally remembered the scene when they set off, and even remembered the expectant eyes of the men, women and children in the clan, they knew what this trip to Chiyan City represented, and they also understood what kind of disaster would be caused to the dwarf clan if they returned empty-handed.

But after last night's banquet, not only did they not get the slightest gain, but they also lost the right to do business in Chiyan City, and this blow was disastrous for the dwarf clan.

The Great Elder's words made everyone's hearts even heavier, but everyone present understood that the loss of the Elven Forest last time was too great, and this time he came to Chiyan City to seek refuge in the Great Prince, borrowing the power of the empire to open a post station outside the Elven Forest, and then controlling the trade was enough to restore the dwarf clan, but judging from the results at this moment, such an idea has become wishful thinking.

At this time, the Great Elder lowered the dwarf qi on the left side of his head.

"Big brother, our brothers understand your feelings, but the last time the matter of the Elven Forest was too big a blow to us, if there was no group of robbers, we might still be able to retain most of the wealth, but after they robbed us, we ended up where we are now, after that incident, I also secretly investigated the whereabouts of the robbers, although it was not completely confirmed, but it was definitely inseparable from the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce, otherwise why didn't those robbers rob other people's things, but they just attacked us, This must be another trick of the glorious merchant. ”

The Great Elder sighed.

"What's the use of talking about this now, can you take back what was robbed, now I'm asking if you have any other way for us to get through this crisis, and what kind of face will you use to meet our brothers and sisters, you can talk about it."

The Great Elder's questioning made the atmosphere more and more solemn, and everyone present was silent, obviously they didn't have a good way to deal with the current situation.

The Great Elder glanced around and saw that everyone had a sad look on their faces and said angrily.

"Aren't you very good at coming up with ideas on weekdays? Why are you all like a dumb person at this time, do you only eat, drink, and play with human women, and they are all a bunch of waste at a critical moment. ”

Everyone's faces turned slightly red, and their breath became a little chaotic, but no one dared to contradict him, because the Great Elder was not only the king of the dwarf clan, but also the eldest brother of everyone present.

Different from the way humans reproduce, each dwarf race has only one mother, and in each dwarf race, they are all brothers and sisters, so the dwarf race is more united than any other race in terms of cohesion, even after the failure of this plan in the Elven Forest, the other gnomes have given away all their wealth, so that everyone has traveled thousands of miles to Chiyan City.

But now, not to mention the things that should have been taken have slipped out of his hands, the eldest prince even forbade the Treasure Bay Chamber of Commerce to do business in Chiyan City, which undoubtedly hit the sore spot of the dwarf clan, and made the clan even worse.

But in the face of the powerful Chiyan Empire, the dwarf tribe did not have the courage to resist even if they were united, not because they were cowardly and incompetent, but because they were too shrewd.

They knew how miserable their fate would be if they offended the Chiyan Empire, even the strongest elves of the minority chose to sue for peace, and how could they have the courage to face the wrath of the human race as a pitiful race.

Therefore, when the last life-saving straw broke, everyone present was already able to see their future fate, but at this moment, they had no room to resist, so they could only silently wait for fate to come, which is why even if the Great Elder scolded angrily, everyone did not dare to speak.

Perhaps it was because of the anger in his heart that the Great Elder lost his mind, and he scolded angrily regardless of his brotherhood.

"You idiots, you pigs, have you put all your mind on having fun, you look at yourselves, you look like a shrewd dwarf, you're a bunch of useless pigs."

Everyone still didn't speak, and they didn't show the slightest look of anger, like a puppet who had lost his will, still whipped and beaten by the world, and seeing the appearance of everyone losing their fighting spirit, the Great Elder's heart was even more angry, but there was also a deep disappointment in this anger.

After venting the anger in his heart, the Great Elder also knew that the only person he could rely on now was himself, and if he didn't act again, then he would really have no shame to return to the dwarf clan.

"Okay, okay, you don't say it, you don't think about it, then it's up to me to think about it, I'll say, you all give me ears to listen, listen to every word I say, and then take your lives to carry out my orders, I don't want to see your sad faces, I don't want to hear anyone refute, now you are my puppets, whatever I say, you will do whatever you do."

As the Great Elder's words fell, the faces of everyone present showed a hint of anger, and they all cast firm glances, and even said in unison.

"It's all under the command of the eldest brother, and we have no complaints."

"Very good, very good, then I will issue the first order, third child, the intelligence department you are in charge of will immediately collect all the movements of the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce for me, I am talking about all the movements, including what the Huiyao merchant did today, what he ate, including the color of the and urine he pulled, you have to give me a clear investigation, can you do this."

The named dwarf immediately got up and said in an affirmative tone, "No problem, big brother, I will definitely complete the task." ”

"Very good", the Great Elder looked at the other person again, "Fourth, you go to the Mercenary Guild to issue a secret mission, remember not to go yourself, but let someone else publish it, the commission price is set at one million gold coins, and the content is to capture the young men and women of the elf clan, remember whether you live or die, as long as you see the corpse, you will give a commission." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the dwarfs present were shocked, and the fourth child who was named exclaimed even more.

"Big brother, what are you going to do, are you going against the Empire? Don't you understand the purpose of the elves coming to Chiyan City? ”

The Great Elder's eyes were fierce, and he snorted.

"If we can't do it, others don't want to do it, since it's a matter of splitting up, then we'll do it all, if we can cause another war because of this, we may be able to make a profit from it, even if we can't, we have to make the elves and the Chiyan Empire suspicious of each other, and completely cut off the financial route of the Huiyao Chamber of Commerce."

After listening to the Great Elder's explanation, everyone's eyes showed hatred, and the fourth child who was named was even more excited.

"Big brother, I know how to do it, don't worry, I will not reveal our identities, and I will also dispose of all traces when the time comes, and it will definitely not involve the clan."

The Great Elder let out a heavy "um", and then called him by name.
