Lu Chengfeng was sure that Hu Yuanshan and the others did not dare to offer conditions that exceeded the bottom limit of the empire.

Not to mention that they don't have that much power, they will definitely be reprimanded by the empire when they go back, and Lu Chengfeng alone will not pass this level. Therefore, the Bantu people found that they could not go further, and they could only obediently accept this already good result. The reason why it is so flamboyant is nothing more than a change of direction to put pressure on Lu Chengfeng.

If they really reached an agreement with the other members of the mission, Renault and them would not be so ostentatious, but would have to gently stabilize Lu Chengfeng.

Thinking about this clearly, Lu Chengfeng has nothing to worry about.

The next thing he has to do is to do nothing, and wait for the Bantu people to take the initiative to sign the contract. Since the people of the mission have already opened the hole cards, there is no need to talk about it now, just sign it according to the conditions issued by the empire. As a result, Hu Yuanshan and the others still couldn't get anything, and Lu Chengfeng also completed the task of the envoy.

The only one who suffered a little loss was the Lanwu Empire.

However, it only subsidizes the food of the Bantu people for a winter, and also opens up some trade in limited towns. For an empire fighting on two fronts, this is completely within the limits of what it can afford. Otherwise, if a few thousand warriors of the Bantu tribe were allowed to go south and loot on a large scale, the empire's losses would have increased tenfold.

So, it's actually a win-win situation, and it's best for everyone – at least in Lu's opinion.

As for whether Hu Yuanshan thinks so or not, it has nothing to do with him.

Maybe the Bantu people still have a little bit of food, and their patience is a little better than Lu Chengfeng thought. In the next few days, Renault and Orca never looked for Lu Chengfeng, as if they had forgotten him alone. It wasn't until the first batch of relief food from the empire arrived in the snowy region of Ston, and the people sent by the imperial family to inquire about the situation also arrived, that the top management of Bantu finally couldn't hold it anymore and found Lu Chengfeng on a cold morning that was rarely clear.

Now that they relent, the rest is easy.

Although they were still extremely hostile to Lu Chengfeng, after the nominal envoy nodded their heads, they had to take charge of the negotiations with the Bantu people. Since everything had been made clear on both sides, everyone sat together symbolically, made a little useless bargaining, and then happily signed the non-aggression pact.

The Bantu have promised to be friendly with the Empire and will not go south during the Empire's war with the Fallen Spirits. The empire also promised to give the Bantu enough food and supplies for the winter.

This is a treaty written on paper, and unless Bantu or the Empire abandons the credit of the state, it will be done on the surface.

Of course, there is also a confidential cooperation, which is not written in the treaty, and that is the news about the assistance of the Holy Order Master. Because the Empire didn't want to make a noise, and Bantu wasn't sure when the ice dragon would come back to life and when Buwanga's injuries would heal. Therefore, this covert subsidiary treaty only vaguely stipulates the matter of cooperation, and does not specify the time.

This gives both sides a lot of room to maneuver.

Once the treaty was signed, the personnel on both sides breathed a sigh of relief. Although the warriors of Bantu didn't care about going south, they finally knew that the overall strength of the empire was far above Bantu. Even if the southward looting is successful, sooner or later it will be counterattacked by the Empire. Now that the two sides can avoid war, and the interests of the Bantu are guaranteed, it is naturally the best choice.

Most Bantu people are still happy about this.

With the official delivery of the first grain supply, the mission of the Imperial Mission was also tentatively completed. On the other hand, Bantu's forward camp here has also lost its value. Considering that there was no point in continuing to station, and that the negative effects of the cold wave were brewing, the warriors sent by the three major tribes began to evacuate one after another, taking advantage of the brief sunny weather to return to their respective territories.

In just half a day, the camp, which originally had more than 1,000 people, became empty.

Seeing that the matter had been done, Lu Chengfeng, who had nowhere to do, was ready to return. However, Renault rushed over at this time and invited him to visit Bantu's real territory: "In any case, you have done my people a great favor, so please make a trip to the ridge." Moreover, I see that you are cultivating Frost Dou Qi, we have a good place there that can greatly speed up the cultivation of Frost Dou Qi, do you want to go over and try it?"

Renault's words immediately made Lu Chengfeng moved.

Stepping into the sixth order, Lu Chengfeng has entered a relatively stable stage, which is neither up nor down. Relying on normal cultivation alone, it seems that it will take some time to break through. After all, from the fifth order onwards, the difficulty of breaking through will increase significantly. If there really was a good place on Bantu's turf, he would love to try it.

"It's true. Seeing that Lu Chengfeng was still a little hesitant, Renault explained: "That is the cultivation ground of my clan patriarch Buwanga, and it is a very magical place. The first time you enter there to cultivate, you can get great benefits. Right now, the patriarch is also recuperating from his injuries in the deepest part of the cultivation ground. If you have the ability to go in, you can even get the Patriarch's guidance!"

"Go. ”

Hearing this, what else did Lu Chengfeng hesitate about?

A place that can be favored by a saint-level master, and is used as a cultivation ground and a place for recuperation, will inevitably have a unique place. As for the saint-level masters, Lu Chengfeng had seen a lot before and after his rebirth, but he didn't particularly care about it. However, to be able to become a master of the Holy Order, they must all have their own uniqueness. If you can really point him out, that's fine.

So, Lu Chengfeng told Han Yu, wrote a few more letters for him to pass them back to Kaiyang, and then followed Renault and them into the depths of the snowy region of Ston.

What surprised Lu Chengfeng a little was that he thought that he was going back with the Kuni tribe, but he didn't expect to follow the Walker tribe in Orka. It turned out that Buwanga's training ground was in the territory of the Walker clan. Renaud left the tribe this time and went back with Orka, and he also had something to meet Buwanga.

Originally, because the war could no longer be fought, Orka was more relaxed and happy when they retreated. At the end of the day, the not-so-fast progress proved this. Unexpectedly, just as they were about halfway through, the person who rushed from the ridge to report brought bad news. The Snow Man, which had been living in harmony with the Bantu people of the ridge, had recently lost his mind and began to raid the Walker tribe on the ridge frequently. Despite the precautions, seven or eight people were lost in a few days. Some of the masters of the tribe suspected that those snow rays might have been affected by the berserk magic of the ice dragon Skasa. This news made Renaud and Orca anxious.
