Chapter 469 Negotiation, Orc King Bailong
In the west of the canyon is a torch as bright as stars, and in the east there is only one man, but it is as bright as a river of stars.
His red-golden eyes flowed with lava-like brilliance, and each man struck with a knife. Compared with the 30 army of the Beastman Empire, his momentum was not inferior in the slightest!
"Beast King Bailong, I have long admired you."
Lu Chen spoke lightly, obviously he was standing below, looking up at Byron who was riding on the dragon-scaled tiger, but he didn't feel like bowing his head.
The Beastman King glanced at the sunset gate where the beacon was burning, then looked at the man in front of him, and grinned, "Although it's already sunset, you finally showed up when there was still light."
He waved his arms, "Return to the camp and receive the imperial envoys!"
The tall orc army behind Byron did not make any comments, and turned back in an orderly manner, without any disorder in the formation. Under the instructions of the leaders of the tribes, they retreated in an orderly manner.
The generals at the sunset gate all looked solemn when they saw this scene. The orc kings of this generation were more talented than they imagined, and they had never seen such an orc army with such a neat appearance.
They have only seen this kind of legion in the human army before. In their memory, the orcs always have a loose formation, and it is easy to become a mess after fighting.
Lu Chen's tense mind dropped slightly. Fortunately, the Beast King is a person who keeps his promise, otherwise today's battle is about to break out, and it will not end well.
Lu Chen suddenly turned his gaze and looked at a young man riding on the back of a giant rhinoceros. No, that was a fox-human man.
He just felt that the other party has been staring at him, and even at a certain moment, he let him go, which made him feel a little threatened.
Even riding on the muscular and ferocious giant rhinoceros, Fox looked refined and elegant. When he saw Duke Godzilla's eyes shift, he just smiled faintly at him, meaning that he didn't understand.
"KS, give a giant rhino to Duke Godzilla."
The Beast King glanced at Godzilla who was on foot, and gave instructions to his subordinates.
He respects the strong, and even more respects a man like Duke Godzilla.
Ten minutes later, when the orc army completely withdrew from the canyon, the tense nerves of the defenders who had been closed by the setting sun were released.
After the high-pitched mood, once you relax, you will feel a little bit out of force.
"I don't know what the Duke can talk about..."
Some soldiers worried that although there was no fight today, once the negotiations broke down, the war would still be inevitable, and it would just give the Western Territory some more breathing room.
If the talk collapses, the Beast King won't wait for humans to deploy troops for reinforcements.
"I hope the Duke can handle it properly. Maybe it's best to pay some food first and stabilize the orcs."
Someone exclaimed.
"What are you talking about, you are not ashamed, and you are going to pay tribute!?"
Some veterans accused him that he personally could not accept this kind of humiliation.
"That's right, let's fight the orcs to the end. Duke Godzilla is also there. If it's really not possible, let him take temporary command."
A soldier spoke.
At this moment, the head of the Bruce Legion came over, and the man quickly shut up.
Bruce smiled, "Look at your cowardice, you have the guts to say it again in front of me."
"Legion Commander, I didn't mean that..."
The soldier was a little stiff.
Bruce patted the other party's shoulder, "It's nothing. If there is a fight, isn't there a saying that says that the general's orders are not accepted, and it's okay to give command to the Duke temporarily. After all, our brothers in the Zhenxi Army , is also fate."
His careful lieutenant, Pixar, teased: "I said, sir, why did you even change your name, it used to be called Godzilla Godzilla."
Bruce glared at the other party, "You boy, I haven't settled with you yet!"
After some commotion on the city wall, the atmosphere relaxed a little, but the soldiers still looked through the night to the orc camp in the distance.
In the orc camp, Lu Chen walked past the staring eyes of the orcs on both sides, and entered the big tent in the center with the orc king.
Besides them, there was also the young fox-human with white ears and white tail.
"Get up and go, what should you do?"
The Beast King waved his hand and drove away the guards standing in front of the big tent.
The two warriors of the orc clan hesitated for a moment, and then withdrew. They had heard of the bravery of Duke Godzilla, but they were more confident in the bravery of the orc king.
If the factor of the army and the ability to fight in groups are excluded, the kings of their generation should be the pinnacle of the Aika Continent. Except for a few extremely special members of the Dragon Clan, they have to stand aside.
This is the talent of the Lion King Clan, their incomparable personal bravery, and they are the most ferocious fighters on the grassland.
Humans still have to rely on grudges, and their basic physical fitness is far behind that of the orcs. The Duke of Godzilla was able to kill the guardian dragon Iger, and he only relied on the army.
If it was a decisive battle between the orc king Balon and the giant guardian dragon, he would not be able to say that he would win, but at least he would have a [-]% chance of winning.
That's why Byron's tone was very flat when he heard that the Duke of Godzilla had killed the guardian dragon Iger, because he was not bad.
Of course, the significance of the existence of the guardian dragons is not single-handedly. The dragon clan is a strategic race, and they have great dominance over large-scale wars.
The role it can play in a war far exceeds that of a warrior like the Beastman King who relies on brute force.
The Beast King sat down in the big tent, grabbed a jar of bad wine, took a sip, and threw another jar to Lu Chen, "We orcs don't have as many cumbersome etiquettes as you, and you didn't bring a guard of honor today. Just talk."
Lu Chen held the wine jar steadily, and opened the mud seal. A faint smell of wine poured into his nostrils. In the light of the fire in the big tent, he could still see all kinds of floating debris inside. It was indeed the worst wine. , The products produced in small workshops in the human world are better than this.
But he didn't care, he raised the wine jar to pay respects, and then drank it down.
"Haha, I heard that you human nobles are very particular, but you are very appetizing to me."
Byron smiled boldly.
Lu Chen put down the wine jar, "Be careful on the battlefield, but the enemy won't pay attention to you."
After all, he took out a jug of wine from the storage space and threw it to Byron. This is the wine he exchanged in the space.
Daily food exchange in the space is very cheap, and some alcohol is also very cheap as long as it does not contain special functions.
His jar of wine is priced at 100 Origin Coins, which is considered the most expensive in daily life, but sometimes he and Eliyi will have a few drinks at night, so naturally they want to drink the best.
Therefore, there are still three or four altars left in the storage space, which is quite appropriate as a diplomatic gift at this time.
"It seems that you like drinking very much. I buried this at home before I joined the army. It is a small gift."
Another altar appeared in Lu Chen's hand, and he raised it to look at the Beast King.
Bairon looked at the exquisite ceramic wine jar, opened his mouth, and the rich aroma of the wine rushed straight into his nostrils. The nectar-like liquid rippled under the firelight, like gold shining.
He swallowed subconsciously. He was indeed good at wine, even more like to drink it than the dwarves, but the prairie was barren and there was not enough food to eat.
"I will not relax the conditions because of this."
Byron looked at the man opposite.
"Of course, I just want to have a drink with the Beast King."
As Lu Chen said, he raised the jar as a signal, and then drank it down.
At this moment, Fox, who was standing beside the Beastman King, had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He seems to have found something interesting.
"Hahaha, you are so interesting."
Byron raised the wine jar, and the wine was captured by the strong aroma as soon as the wine entered his throat. If it weren't for such an occasion, he might not be willing to drink it all at once.
Putting down the wine jar, he licked the remaining wine at the corner of his mouth, feeling the heat rising in his body, and the slightly drunk smell, and for the first time felt the refreshing, relaxed and floating feeling after drinking.
He felt a little emotional, "It's really good wine, and I don't know how good food it takes to make it."
Even if this sentence has entered the topic, the atmosphere in the big tent has become serious.
Lu Chen put the wine jar aside, "I came here to discuss this matter with you."
As an envoy, he should call the other party king, but he didn't have this habit, so he only used honorific titles.
"Oh? Then your Keya Empire is going to pay the food?"
Bairon leaned forward, staring into Lu Chen's eyes.
"I'm here to persuade you to cease fighting."
Lu Chen said calmly.
"Where's the food?"
The Beast King only cared about this, he didn't have food for the winter, and at least millions of orcs would starve to death this year, and he couldn't survive just by slaughtering livestock.
"No."
When the word Lu Chen fell, the flames in the big tent trembled violently, with murderous intent criss-crossing, and the golden mane on Byron's body fluttered, showing his murderous intent undisguised.
Lu Chen calmed down, stood up, and walked to the mainland map hanging in the big tent, "Don't worry, listen to me."
The Beast King was a little angry, but at this moment Fox leaned over and whispered something in his ear.
He sat down again, "Then listen to you first."
"You must also know that on the mainland, except for the Great Forest of Aisher, which is a land bestowed by gods, famine is happening everywhere now. The orcs are the same, the dwarves are the same, and the human race is the same."
With his hands behind his back, Lu Chen looked at the overall map of the mainland, "This phenomenon has been going on for 30 years, and it's getting worse and worse. Have you ever thought about the reason?"
"I don't care what the reason is, we just want to be full this year."
Byron didn't care about this. The orcs always had meat today, so they ate it today.
"king."
Fox reminded him softly beside Byron, who was embarrassed for a moment.
It seems that his reckless thinking has gained the upper hand again, so he should listen patiently to what others have to say first.
Lu Chen glanced at Fox. He didn't expect the Beastman King to trust him so much. He continued: "It's the abyss, it's the abyss that is eroding the continent. The vitality of the land under our feet is gradually disappearing. The land is becoming more and more barren. Nature is also difficult to grow."
The Beastman King frowned slightly. He wanted to say that the other party was alarmist, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there had never been such a long famine in the Aika Continent.
Famines are usually caused by natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, etc., which lead to a sudden reduction in crop harvests, but this is not the case in these years.
It's that the farmers are farming normally, but the harvest is getting less and less. Even in the past few years, some areas that were originally barren have experienced no harvest.
I don't know if it's because of the abyss, but it's a fact that the land is becoming more barren.
"What does this have to do with you not giving food? I know that you humans are also in trouble, and you are still guarding the Great Wall, but as a king, I can't let the people of the tribe starve to death now."
Byron frowned.
The guarding period of the human race is about to end, and the next wave of guarding the Great Wall will be their orcs. He doesn't want to go to the front to fight, and most of the orcs will starve to death.
"I said this not to find a reason for not handing over the food, but to let you understand the current situation in the mainland."
Lu Chen continued: "If you don't have enough food, grab it. This is not a long-term solution at all."
He looked at the prairie on the map, "Even if the Keya Empire gave the orcs food for the winter this year, what about next year? What about the year after?"
Lu Chen turned and looked at the Beast King, "This is actually just an exchange of lives. If we give food, a large number of human races will starve to death. Even if the empire can bear it for a while, it won't last forever. When the time comes, war will break out. Don't you really think that the human race is a generation to be slaughtered?"
There was a dangerous look in Byron's eyes, "Are you threatening me again?"
"No, I'm just narrating the facts. Even if you lead the tribes on the grassland to completely capture the territory of the human race, but if you can't grow food on the grassland, will we grow it?"
Lu Chen looked straight into the eyes of the Beastman King, "After killing all the human races, will your food... really be enough? Are you going to continue to snatch the elves?"
The orcs are naturally strong, but their food intake is ten times that of the human race. In terms of total food demand, it is actually similar to that of the Keya Empire.
The human race is not enough to eat now, and the same is true for the orc race when they ran to their territory.
Byron pondered for a while, his brain was a little insufficient, and he didn't feel ashamed. He looked at Fox, meaning you said it.
Fox nodded humbly, and took a step forward, "My lord duke means that plundering food can only solve a temporary emergency, but not a permanent crisis. If the world does not change, everyone will starve to death in the end."
He looked at Lu Chen with interest, "Since this is the beginning of the article, Your Excellency Duke, it means that you have a good solution?"
Bai Long also looked at Lu Chen, and he actually felt that what the other party said made sense.
Indeed, as the other party said, no matter how strong their orcs are, they dare not say that they can eliminate the human race and occupy the other party's land.
And now go to grab the Aisher Forest?
History has taught the orcs a lesson. First, the elves are not as easy to talk to as the human race. Second, under that big forest, the fighting power of the elves is outrageous.
Back then, the orcs invaded the Great Forest of Aishir. Even after cooperating with the human allied forces, they failed to take it down for many years. In the end, the giant guardian dragon came forward to mediate.
The magic of the elves is always so annoying. The army of the orcs went into the forest, and many of them got lost in it and never came back.
And set fire?
Although it wasn't for grabbing food back then, destroying the most resource-rich place on the continent would be detrimental to others and not to their own advantage. They weren't that stupid. Besides, there were so many mages in the elves, and it was too easy to put out the fire.
