Chapter 299: Calculation of Interests

Hearing Parup's angry rebuke and the unkind gazes that everyone looked at him, the High Elves suddenly felt annoyed, feeling like a clown who had been stripped naked for public display.

Annoyed, he stood up, slapped the table, and said, "Hmph, do you really think that I am a vexatious person? ”

The High Elves' words made most of the people present mutter, thinking that they didn't know who overturned yesterday's decision, and now they actually said with a shy face that they were not unreasonable people? Even the green-skinned orcs and black iron dwarves felt that the High Elves were too shameless.

However, seeing the appearance of the High Elf Single, everyone couldn't cry or laugh, and in the end, Parip could only say: "Okay, since that's the case, then tell me, what other questions do you have?"

The High Elves raised their chins triumphantly and said, "It's very simple, it's a matter of how to divide everyone's attack on the town, we can't fight separately and rush up in a mess, right? ”

Hearing this, everyone fell silent, and Lucius also felt that the question raised by the High Elves was very important, but it was difficult for him to stand up at this time, so he could only say: "This is a problem, since this is the case, then everyone will talk about their own ideas, and then discuss it to see if it is appropriate." ”

The leaders of the Avengers looked at each other, obviously each with ideas in their hearts, but at this time, no one wanted to speak first, for fear that speaking first would fall into disadvantage, which would be detrimental to their own fight for the territory they wanted.

At such a moment, the leaders of the Avengers in the house seem to have regarded the plains as their own and begin to think about where their territory should be?

After a moment of silence, seeing that no one was willing to stand up and speak first, the High Elves stood up again and said, "Since everyone is unwilling to speak first, then let me speak first There is a wicked man, our High Elves originally belonged to the southern part of the plain. So I hope to lead a large army against the southern towns. ”

With that, the High Elves walked to the door, pushed open the door and beckoned, and soon two High Elf warriors walked in and threw a drawn map of the Grass Sea Plain on the table in front of everyone.

This scene surprised everyone present, and Lucius admired the High Elves in his heart, the other party had a plan, even if the overthrow plan failed, he had made sufficient preparations.

The map unfolds, and the High Elves are unceremonious. Draw a circle in the south of the map and say: "The south all the way to the seaside, there are a total of thirteen towns in this area, and we High Elves are responsible for taking them, of course, the governance of these towns will be handed over to us High Elves afterwards." ”

After listening quietly to what the High Elves had to say, Lucius did not object, but said to the others, "Shall you all share your thoughts?"

Seeing this, the green-skinned orcs and the black iron dwarves also stood up and drew on the map, among which the black iron dwarves wanted thirteen towns in the north of the plain. The greenskinned orcs want twelve towns in the eastern part of the plains.

Looking at the few leaders circled around, Renault and Palup were left standing there without moving, Palupu was obedient to Lucius, and he was unwilling to stand up and divide the territory at this time. As for Renault, he felt that he and Lucius belonged to the Terran race, and he didn't want to split the Terran race at such a time.

Lucius stood up with a smile on his face, reached out and nodded a few dots to the east, south, and north sides of the mechanical castle, and then drew a circle around the mechanical castle. By the way, the western part of the plain, which was not selected by the three leaders, was also included.

When he had finished painting, Lucius said to the crowd, "The Castle of Machines is the center of the plain, so each of you will give up three large cities near the castle. Our Terrans are in this area. ”

Speaking of this, without giving the leaders a chance to speak, Lucius continued: "As for the western part of the plains, it seems to be relatively barren, and there are few cities, and most of them are built on the seashore, and you don't seem to be interested, so give it to the gnomes, do you have no opinion?"

"Wait......" As soon as Lucius finished speaking, the High Elves stood up again and said, "I don't understand, why do you want the four of us to divide three big cities for you?"

Lecius stretched out a finger and waved it and said, "Don't make a mistake, it's not for me, but for us Terrans, you all have your own territories, you must give us Terrans a place, right?"

Without waiting for the High Elves to speak, Lucius continued: "Although we are allies, we should encourage mutual tolerance between our clansmen in the future, but we can't let our Terrans send people under the fence, right? ”

Hearing this, the High Elves looked unkind, stared at Lucius for a long time before saying, "Okay, you can, but you have to fight those cities yourself." ”

"Hehe, let's fight it ourselves? No, we don't have that many men, so you still have to attack those places, of course, after the defeat, we can exchange things with you. ”

Hearing Lucius say this, the High Elves, Greenskinned Orcs, and Black Iron Dwarves were so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears, until they saw Lecius's stern expression, the leaders of the three Avengers, were sure that Lucius wasn't joking, and they hadn't heard it wrong.

"Hahaha......" The High Elf laughed on his back, "You, you're crazy, do you know what you're talking about? Let's go and knock those places down and give them to you?"

"And you said you want to exchange things with us? What do you think you can exchange with us, three big cities on the plains? Do you think those cities are the same size as this town?"

Lucius didn't respond to the shouts of the three leaders including the High Elves, but waited quietly for them to finish speaking, and then whispered: "There are a variety of minerals including black iron ore under the northern hills, and there are several magic crystal mines in the southern plains, and as for the eastern plains, it can be said that they are natural pastures, and there are several stone mining areas. ”

The three leaders of the Avengers were stunned when they heard this, and the mocking look on their faces suddenly disappeared, replaced by shock, and they didn't understand why Lucius knew this information on the plains?

It can be said that these minerals are almost only known to their various races, and even other races may not be so clear, although the mechanical castle has also been explored over the years, but has not found a few minerals of scale.

Lucius broke through their respective calculations, kept a smile and said: "Hehe, I don't want to seize those minerals, but you may need some support for mining, I can use mining technology and machinery to exchange with you for the three big cities close to the mechanical castle, of course, you can also choose to mine by hand." ”

Mining by hand? What are you kidding, although the three leaders present were reluctant, but they were helpless, after all, it was too difficult to dig those minerals by hand.

You must know that a long time ago, their ancestors used hands and simple tools to mine, but the ore yield can be described as very poor, and later the emergence of technology and machinery gave them a taste of sweetness.

Now let them go back and dig with their hands again? That would kill them.

However, they knew very well that when the mechanical castle was breached, the technology and machinery on the Caohai Plain would inevitably be controlled by Lucius, and if they wanted to get the technology and machinery, then they could only make concessions and compromises.

What's more, when that time really comes, I'm afraid that even if they go to negotiate with Lucius again, the other party will definitely open his mouth and take the opportunity to slaughter them again.

Thinking of this, the green-skinned orcs and black iron dwarves were the first to agree: "Okay, as long as you promise to give us the technology and machinery, then we are willing to take out three big cities to exchange with you." ”

"Okay, that's a deal. Lucius didn't pay any attention to the High Elves at all, and directly agreed to the green-skinned orcs and black iron dwarves.

Although the High Elves hesitated for a long time, they finally agreed to Lucius, because the excavation of magic crystals is more difficult than ordinary minerals.

But hearing that the High Elves also agreed, Lucius continued: "You can't, not only do you need to pay three big cities, but you also need to divide the magic crystal mine with us. ”

"What ......" The High Elves were full of incredulity when they heard this, and they couldn't believe that Lucius dared to make such a request to them.

After reassuring himself, he said very firmly: "That's impossible, don't think about it." ”

Lucius didn't continue to threaten, but said with a smile: "Hehe, your high elves' use of magic crystals is nothing more than your desire for magic, and you want to use magic crystals to enrich your own magic power, but your utilization of magic crystals and magic energy is extremely low, and you need to consume very little." ”

"I can provide you with better technology, so that you can use the magic energy in the magic crystal more effectively, so that you high elves can get more magic power, I think this kind of technology, I'm afraid it's worth you to pay a part of the magic crystal minerals, right? Of course, the choice is yours. ”

The High Elves were suddenly lost in thought, he was eager for the technology that Lucius had said, and in fact he knew the existence of that technology.

Because the most widely used technology is the magic energy crystals in the mechanical castle, the raw materials of those magic energy crystals are magic crystals, and after the magic crystals are processed into magic crystals, the utilization rate of the magic energy inside the magic crystals is extremely high.

The High Elves knew very well that Lucius must have mastered that kind of technology, originally he wanted to participate in the capture of the mechanical castle and take the opportunity to try to get that kind of technology from the mechanical castle, but now it seems obviously unlikely, and Lucius's conditions are very tempting to him.

After a long silence with his head down, and careful consideration and weighing, in the end, out of his desire for magic power and the technology that can effectively use the magic energy in the magic crystal, he had to compromise with Lucius: "Okay, I promise you, but I also hope that you will keep your promise." ”

"Hehehe, don't worry, when the time comes, you can take the three big cities, as well as the share that belongs to our magic crystal mine, and trade with me, and we will 'pay with one hand and deliver with the other'." (To be continued......)
