"Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet, Fox, from the fox tribe."

Fox saluted gracefully.

Lu Chen looked at the other party and said: "I do have a solution. Although it cannot solve the crisis in a lifetime, at least within a hundred years, food will no longer be a problem."

Bailong's eyes lit up, "Say it quickly."

"I plan to develop new food seeds. The new seeds will be able to grow quickly on the poorest land and have abundant yields. As long as they are widely planted, everyone will be able to eat enough in the future."

Lu Chen was just painting a big picture. In fact, he had no idea whether Xiaoxian Milk and the others could succeed, and what the seed yield would be if they succeeded. But at this time, the orcs must be stabilized before any follow-up.

"New seeds?"

Bailon was a little confused, "Can seeds be used to develop new ones?"

He has heard about the development of new combat techniques, military formations, and magic, but he has never heard of the development of new seeds. Aren't the various plants of nature a given?

"Yes, as long as there are sufficient research funds and research materials, there is hope to cultivate new excellent seeds. My people are already working on it."

Lu Chen nodded.

Fox continued to talk under the instructions of the Orc King, "I heard from the Duke that even if it is possible to develop new seeds, it will take a lot of time, right? Aren't we, the Orcs, still going to starve this year?"

Lu Chen said frankly: "Yes, it is very likely to be the case."

"Are you trying to persuade me to retreat with something illusory and illusory that doesn't exist yet?"

The Beastman King's words were full of ferocity, which could not solve the current problem at all.

"I only said it was very possible, but if the seed research progresses quickly, there are still more than two months before winter begins. If it can be completed this month, the first batch of grain may be produced soon after winter begins, which is barely enough.

Solve the needs of the orcs."

The reason why Lu Chen said he was reluctant was because during the waiting period, some orcs would still starve to death due to food shortages.

"More than two months? What kind of seeds can grow so fast?"

Bailon was a little unconvinced. Among the common staple foods on the Aika continent, the one with the shortest maturity period is rice. It takes about three months to mature, and it also needs to be planted in the right season. In general places, it matures once a year.

A fertile and warm place with two crops a year.

According to what the other party said, deducting the research and development time, it only takes one and a half months of growth time at most. How is that possible?

"The new seeds are naturally different from the past, with stronger vitality and adaptability, and faster growth."

Lu Chen's point was not nonsense. According to what Xiao Xian Nai said, theoretically speaking, seeds with stronger vitality are easier to grow and the maturity period will be much shorter.

This is the goal of her cultivation, and it is also Lu Chen's expectation.

Fox pondered for a moment and then said: "What the Duke means is that after the new seeds are successfully researched, a batch will be allocated to us orcs?"

Lu Chen nodded, "Yes, as long as there are new seeds, it may still be difficult for everyone in the first year, but in the spring of the next year, these seeds with strong vitality that are not limited to seasons can mature for more than a year, and we will never have to worry about it again in the future.

I’m troubled by food problems.”

He looked at the Beastman King and said, "All you need is a little patience and a temporary concession."

Bailon sat on a seat made of the bones of abyssal creatures, lost in thought.

He is not a completely brainless person. The other party speaks clearly and clearly, and even some words do not need to be clarified by the other party.

To put it simply, as long as the orcs retreat, they can get new seeds. In the future, there may be no food crisis on the grassland.

A full meal, a full meal, and a full meal, he can still carry it clearly.

But there was a very important question. He looked at Lu Chen, "How can you guarantee that you can develop the new seeds you mentioned during this period of time?"

The main reason is that the other party has no real objects and everything is just empty talk.

If there were new seeds now, even if he only gave them one of the orcs, he could order the troops to retreat.

He can still make judgments about long-lasting achievements and short-term pros and cons.

As for robbing? Although the orcs have a bandit mentality, if they robbing, the humans can completely burn all the new seeds and they will get nothing. Besides, in a real fight, it is hard to say whether they will win or lose.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but if you are willing to cooperate, I will be a few percent more sure."

Bailon's voice was low, "What does this mean?"

"Researching new seeds also requires some material samples from your grassland. I hope the orcs can provide them."

Lu Chen explained that on the list given by Xiaoxian Milk and the others before, there were some plants and materials that were special to the prairie.

"You are using your empty gloves. Where are we?"

Bailon patted the handrail and said angrily, not only did he have nothing, but he also didn’t give him food, and he also wanted supplies from their prairie!?

"King, calm down, you might as well listen to what you want first."

Fox reminded that to him personally, it didn't matter how many people died in the Orc tribe this winter, but the new seeds had a different meaning, as they could completely stabilize the Orc tribe.

Due to some special personal reasons, he stayed in this world for a long time. The orcs who were strong and well-fed and the orcs who were hungry and cold were completely different concepts.

What he wants is a stronger orc tribe, which will be beneficial to his plan.

Bailon snorted coldly, "Tell me about it."

Lu Chen read out a string of names: "Unyielding Grass, Day Flower..."

When Lu Chen finished speaking, Bai Long's frown relaxed.

He originally thought it would be some precious orc specialty, but who knew it was just some common plants and materials on the grassland.

Unyielding grass is a kind of wild grass that grows in the extreme cold places in the westernmost part of the grassland. It has strong vitality and can grow in very harsh environments. However, this grass contains toxins and cannot be eaten by humans or livestock.

Day flowers are somewhat rarer and are a unique scenery on the grassland.

This kind of flower bush falls into the ground, takes root, sprouts, blooms and withers, and it only lasts for one day. When it withers, the white fluffy flowers will be blown away by the wind, blowing farther away, and then fall into the ground again, repeating this process.

process.

Therefore, in places where there are a lot of day flowers, you can often see very gorgeous and romantic scenes, with white catkins flying all over the sky, and the flowers on the ground blooming and growing again, telling the story of the cycle of life, and it is so beautiful.

"If that's all you need, fine."

Bailon nodded. These things are worthless. You can't eat them even if you spend a day on them. They have no nutritional value. They are just for fun among young people and children in the tribe.

He looked at Lu Chen and said, "I have a question, why do you want to cooperate with the orcs?"

This is what Bailon can't figure out. Plants such as Unyielding Grass and Sunflower are not rare, and it is not difficult for the other party to get them by themselves.

And if new seeds can really be successfully developed through these things, it actually won't make much difference with or without the help of their orcs.

If the human race can develop new seeds, it will be strategically ahead of all races on the mainland, because except for the elves, the others are short of food.

At this level, in fact, the war waged by the orcs against the western border of the Keya Empire is not that important.

Even the human race can tolerate it for a while, just hand over the food first, wait for new seeds to be researched, and then replenish the supplies for the victims. After this year has passed, the human race will be invulnerable the next year.

No matter how you look at it, there is no need to give this kind of good thing to the orcs as a condition for peace talks.

No matter how stupid King Kusla is, he should still be able to distinguish the pros and cons. No country is willing to share strategic secrets with others.

Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his hands and looked at the hanging continent map, "We are all creatures of the Aika continent, aren't we? And now there are foreign enemies invading us. We are both intelligent beings, why should we kill each other?"

He stared at the boundary of the Great Wall on the map, "After us humans, it is the turn of the orcs to resist the abyss. You also know that I have led troops at the Great Wall for many years. I can see things that ordinary people can't see. I don't want to resist."

The soldiers of the foreign enemy will be hungry by then."

Bailon looked at the profile of the man in black and suddenly understood something.

This man is not negotiating with me on behalf of the king of their empire, nor is he negotiating with me just to save the people and soldiers in the western border of the empire. What the other party wants to save is not only the human race, but also the orc race, and the millions of people on this continent.

Thousands of creatures.

Just because the man has the biggest enemy, the abyss, in his heart, he thinks that all the creatures in the Aika continent are one family!

He understands the difficulty of guarding the Great Wall and the hardships of the soldiers, so he does not want the orcs who will guard the Great Wall in the next round to be unable to fight due to famine.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Bailon laughed heartily, looked at Lu Chen and said, "I'm afraid King Kusla doesn't know about your new seed, right?"

When he asked this question, he felt a little proud in his heart. He felt that this was the peak of his IQ today.

Lu Chen turned around and said, "You have already guessed it, haven't you?"

Bailon smiled and said: "You stupid fool of the Keya Empire, if you knew about the new seeds, how could I see you today?"

This is very easy to understand. If King Kusra knew about the new seeds, he would definitely hand over the food directly. If he endures the temporary turmoil, the birth of the new seeds in the coming year will definitely make him the emperor of the ages, and the Keya Empire will also

Become the strongest mainland power.

With King Kusla's magnanimity, he would never think of cooperating with the orcs to consider the long-term safety of the continent.

Lu Chen took out two more jars of wine, each containing 50 Origin Coins. He threw them to Bai Long and said with a smile, "Actually, I have one more condition."

The smile on Bailon's face disappeared, and the wine in his hand remained untouched. "Although we want new seeds, you can't push too far."

Lu Chen shook his head, "This condition does not represent the empire, it only represents me personally, and it is not excessive."

"you say."

Bailon felt more and more interesting about the man in front of him.
