The bodies of former King Brown and Prime Minister Roscoe were not removed, but were piled against the wall like two piles of rags. The meeting resumed. In addition to the five major tribes, other tribal leaders were also invited.
The leader of the lizard people came in with Prince Taize and sat at the conference table with other tribal leaders. The unconscious leader of the Harry tribe was carried away, and his son, King Brown's cousin, took his place in the meeting.
.When the king's cousin was first captured and told that the throne had been replaced, he still roared: "This is usurping the throne." But he immediately calmed down after seeing the bodies of Brown and Roscoe.
The tribal leaders who came in later were shocked when they saw the two corpses. However, they were not afraid of the two corpses, but thought of the shadow sage behind the two corpses. However, Gru's explanation soon followed
Their panic turned into uncertainty and fear. He threw in his hand the token that the Shadow Sage hung around his head and neck, and said lightly to everyone: "Don't worry. I promise that he will never appear again."
I'm in front of you." Then he walked out of the hall without looking back.
Taize also directly changed from a prince to a king. Because it was an extraordinary period, and he was also the only male legal successor of the current royal family, so even if no formal ceremony was held, the leader of the Taitalia tribe, who was already rough and arrogant,
They didn't think there was anything wrong.
Of course, the reason why they don't have any opinions may not be just because of these. The two corpses in the corner are indeed very convincing.
"Perhaps some of you think in your heart that I am traitorous to my country by allowing outsiders to interfere in Taitalian affairs. I know that this is the most disgusting thing for all Taitalian people. But I think you also understand in your hearts that if it is
Letting my brother sit in this position means something to Taitalia. I have no choice but to do this." Taize talked to the tribal leaders, although his appearance did look ugly, even a little...
Funny, but his gestures and words are calm and unhurried, plain and easy to accept, and at the same time, there is a vague flavor that people cannot refuse. This kind of temperament and magnanimity is indeed what is necessary for a leader
"And General Gru was just invited by me to help me. He will leave immediately, and Ofu will never interfere in any affairs of Taitalia in the future. So please accept my more extreme approach.
.”
Except for the Hari clan, all the leaders nodded slightly to express their acceptance. Many of them had smiles on their faces, which was in sharp contrast to the mournful look on the face of the son of the leader of the Hari clan. The king changed his throne, and the status of the always domineering Hari clan naturally followed.
If the situation is to plummet, the benefits that were originally monopolized by them will be shared out. Even if it is indeed an extreme approach, it immediately appears peaceful and friendly under such concrete measures that win the hearts of the people. And in fact, the King of Taizé is indeed better than
His brother is ten times more capable and is indeed more suitable for this position.
The new king Taize continued: "Now I am convening this meeting to discuss something with you. I am ready to let Taitalia and Eufor form an alliance. Regardless of whether you want this decision to be related to General Gru's decision on me.
Please think about the benefits that Ofu has brought to us in Taitalia."
A tribal leader immediately said: "In the period after Ofu was founded, our tribe's income from fur alone has doubled due to the active trade."
Another tribal leader also nodded and said: "The sales of ore have also improved. Because the transportation to Oufu is convenient, we can directly supply the goods to businessmen in other countries. Without the intermediate links, we can earn more gold coins."
too much."
"With Eufu as a transit agent, we no longer need to smuggle secretly to Erathia. We can earn gold coins from those son-of-a-bitch bastards in Erathia openly and honestly."
"And we are the closest country to Oufu. Oufu is developing so fast, faster than the weeds in my yard."
The tribal leaders nodded one after another. It is always easy to make people happy when talking about gold coins.
"But now Erathia has stopped trading with Ouf." The oldest old man among the leaders spoke. He spoke slowly and his speech was unclear, but it was obvious that his thoughts were very clear. He
The words expressed everyone's concerns. "Everyone also knows that Oufu's current situation is not good. Although I have to admit that we have received a lot of benefits from Oufu, will there be such benefits in the future? More
Furthermore, do we need to offend other religious countries for this?"
Many leaders nodded in agreement. This is a fact. National alliances are not just a matter of gratitude like children's interactions. What is considered is interests.
King Taize nodded slowly to the old man and said: "Chief Trosha, you are right. But from my point of view, Oufu's situation is not bad, but very bad. To put it seriously,
A little bit, you could even call it dangerous.”
"Everyone must still remember that the current Pope Magnus once expressed dissatisfaction with Eufor. Now it is said that due to some people's deliberate frame-up, the relationship between Eufor and the surrounding religious countries is already very tense, even if Mr. Cedros
He has no intention of war and is trying his best to mediate, but war may be just a matter of time." King Taizé looked at the tribal leaders, his voice getting heavier and heavier. "The latest news came, the Pope of Celeste is in front.
Several cardinals were convened in a few days. Although no one knew the content of the meeting, one cardinal was heard to say afterwards that the Pope was now very dissatisfied with the blasphemous beasts and the misbehavior of the pagan countries on the continent. Then.
Almost all the dozens of Templars and several Knights Templar who were originally stationed in the Glory Castle were dispersed to various religious countries."
There was a commotion among the leaders. The smell of war smoke and blood seemed to reverberate in the hall. A tribal leader said to Taizé: "You clearly know that this is the situation now, so why do you want to form an alliance with them?"
"Perhaps what the Pope said was just aimed at Eufor. Although we have had some minor conflicts with Erathia, haven't they never really launched a major attack on us?"
King Taize sighed, with a heavy expression that could make the leaders feel clear about their virtue even after passing through the ugly and funny facial features. "Even if he is only targeting Oufu, I think you are not fools who are short-sighted and have no discernment. Please everyone.
Think about it, if Ofu really falls and is occupied under the siege of the surrounding religious countries, what will happen next?"
"What will happen next?" The leaders whispered among themselves. Only the elder of the Trosha clan thought for a moment, and his old face trembled. "You mean they will deal with us next?"
King Taize nodded. "Yes. The value of the existence of Orfu, the central city in the wild highlands, has been proven. Moreover, Cedros led the orcs to build Orfu so perfectly. And the buildings there are almost all made of rocks.
, no matter what kind of battle, it is impossible to completely turn Ouf into ruins. So after they win, they will definitely take Ouf as their own. And when the wild highlands become the sphere of influence of the church, how will they deal with the only one in the church?
Where is Taitalia, which has territory in the highlands and is closest to Eufor?"
"We are not afraid of those church pigs at all. If they come, let them come." A leader of the barbarian tribe immediately roared. "I will strip those white-robed pigs naked and wear them alive on the stakes like last time.
"
"This alone is enough reason to start a war with us." King Taizé looked at this courageous leader, shook his head slightly, and sighed. Tatalia's people are simple and brave, and this leader can be a representative. "I
I have never doubted the courage and strength of our Taitalia warriors. But after so many years of confrontation with Erathia, I don’t need to explain it in detail. Everyone knows the strength gap between the two countries. It is just because of the large swamp terrain.
Erathia's army is extremely unsuitable, and the land and resources of Taitalia are not rare to them. It is not worth letting them fight to the death with our many warriors who can sacrifice themselves to defend their homeland at any time, so we are now
We can still sit here. And if they find it necessary to eradicate us, and then unite with other religious countries to attack from the direction of the highlands...then it may be the end of our country."
As soon as His Majesty the King finished speaking, a roar immediately rushed out from the mouths of the leaders: "Let those church pigs have their fucking daydreams. I will let the church pigs who dare to step into Taitalia have a taste of it."
My axe."
"The warriors of the swamp cannot be destroyed. We will protect our homeland with the last drop of blood."
"I'm going to pierce those bastard crosses into their assholes, and then force them to lick them clean." The tribal leaders all became noisy, and a few grumpy people banged the conference table and used the most vicious words imaginable.
Words curse Erathia and all the religious nations.
King Taize did not pay attention to these rough warriors, but quietly looked at the leaders of the four major tribes who were not so excited. The person who can sit in this position is obviously much calmer than the others.
King Taizé said to them again in a very serious tone: "So I say that actually we have no choice and must form an alliance with Ofu."
"But so what if we form an alliance? Can we and Eufor resist Erathia and so many religious countries?" The leader of Trosha said slowly, using the tone and thinking unique to the elderly. "Think again.
Think of other ways."
"It's not that there are no other ways. The only way out is: I think if we submit to Erathia and become a vassal state, of course we must also submit to the church. They should not refuse. In this way, we naturally don't have to fight with them.
Fight, but you must surrender to them in the future..." King Taize raised his voice slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, to ensure that every tribal leader could hear it.
"Impossible." The roar in the hall immediately became ten times louder.
"Absolutely impossible. You want us to surrender under the feet of those church pigs who are stupider than lizards and more disgusting than dragon flies?"
"Kneel down and pray in front of the logs with those pigs? No, I swear on the name of my ancestors that this kind of thing will never happen in the swamp country." The tribal leaders who were already easily excited were stimulated by this method.
He jumped up. For a moment, the hall was filled with angry roars.
The leader of the Lizardmen, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "If Taitalia wants to surrender to the church, then I will first lead my people to leave Taitalia and join Orfu." His voice and expression were still unique to the Lizardmen.
He lacks the warmth and indifference of change, but everyone can see that he can definitely do what he says. Since His Majesty the Pope has stated that he will deal with all blasphemous subhumans, even if Taitalia surrenders, he and his
It is very likely that the clan members will also die.
"This method really doesn't work..." Chief Trosha coughed hard, trying to raise his voice so as not to be drowned by the roars around him. Although his own sober and smooth mind felt that it didn't matter if he surrendered on the surface,
But he also knew that other clan leaders and his own clan would never agree. He stood up and waved his hands to make others quiet, and slowly and forcefully asked King Taize again: "Even if we form an alliance with Oufu
, can the result be better than this?"
The leaders all fell silent and looked at the king, waiting for the answer.
The King of Taize was also silent for a moment, glanced at the corner again intentionally or unintentionally, and said: "I think it's better to have confidence that they will get their revenge." Everyone's eyes followed and looked at the two people again.
A corpse.
The easily excitable leaders were a little excited again.
In fact, this meeting was almost always shrouded in a strange atmosphere. The two corpses always reminded everyone present what had just happened, and everyone's mind was shaking with the shadow that once made them tremble.
The back of the card as it walks out. This is especially obvious for those leaders who advocate force and are afraid of the Shadow Sage.
The Shadow Sage rarely appears in front of others, and he will not express any favor to anyone except those he deems necessary. But once someone offends him, the consequences will be tragic. So except for King Brown's group
Except for the people in the royal family who worshiped him as a god, everyone else stayed away from him out of fear of mystery and magic.
Now this fear of the strong has been transferred to the person who killed him, especially when it is known that he may be on the same side as himself. Although as a clan leader, everyone must consider it carefully, but as a clan leader,
As a warrior, who wouldn’t want to have the opportunity to fight alongside such a man?
"Don't forget, the 5,000 soldiers of the Ironfast Empire attacked thousands of miles away. As a result, O'Falph didn't even injure a single orc, but all the 5,000 elites died. This is not only a reflection of their combat power, but also illustrates their strategy.
and means." King Taize appropriately brought up this allusion. "The Ironfast Empire has signed a peace treaty with Orfor. The dwarves of Kalundo Basin have also always had good relations with them. Their situation is not a mess.
.After all, in the battle on the wild highlands, the orcs have an absolute advantage."
"Also, as everyone knows, the church pigs are not all fanatical believers. Those cowardly guys will become weak when they see too much blood, and they will not get what they deserve after seeing too many corpses.
When it comes to their interests, those politicians with extremely pious beliefs will immediately forget their God and switch to economic rational thinking. Because their God will not really show up to give them soldiers or gold coins. Then they will
Reconsider whether such a war is necessary to continue. Does Erathia really dare to lose the country's troops in the wild highlands? Do they dare not be wary of Negan? Does that woman Catherine hope that her palace will be invaded by the harpy?
They use it to make a nest, hoping that the minotaurs will rush into her boudoir and rape her?" King Taize gradually raised his voice, his voice became more and more cadence, and his eyes gradually fell on the faces of the easily excited leaders. He was originally ugly
The funny face also became animated, and each facial feature cooperated with the tone to arouse the emotions of the people listening to his words. "And what about the church? What can the church do alone? Without the support of so many religious countries, Seles
Isn't this a place where idiots don't even know how to earn gold coins and don't know how to make bread? Can the priest in the Glory Castle just pray for bread and gold coins? So in the end, that old man Magnus is not
Only by taking back the words he said because of his Alzheimer's disease, and recognizing Eufu and us, Taitalia."
The king paused and took a deep breath. Then he said in a tone full of fighting spirit and strength: "This is not only our crisis, but also our opportunity. Let the entire continent see the strength and courage of our Taitalia."
opportunity. We will stand up in this crisis and become a kingdom that no one can ignore. In the future, even the knights with eyes on their heads in Erathia will shudder whenever they mention the name of the wetland warriors."
"Okay. On behalf of the entire Fute tribe, I fully support the alliance with Ofu." A barbarian leader with a face painted with patterns shouted. "I am willing to shed the last drop of my blood for the rise of the great Wetland Kingdom."
"Yes, I support it too." Other clan leaders also rushed to express their enthusiastic support. The atmosphere in the hall was high for a while, and even the two clan leaders of the five major tribes seemed a little excited. Although they knew that these things should not be like this.
The decision was made emotionally, but as warriors of the Wetland Country, they couldn't help but be excited.
What's more, even after analyzing it rationally, there seems to be no other good solution. Maybe it's worth taking a gamble. The Trosha tribe leader sighed, and at the urging of the surrounding tribe chiefs, he was the last one to express his support. So,
In this way, the alliance proposal between Taitalia and Eufor was fully approved.
Dozens of miles away from the palace of Taitalia, Gru was riding a bipedal dragon and taking a young human with him to leave the country and fly towards Eufor. The specific matters of the alliance still had to wait for Cedros to discuss and implement it.
"Are you relieved to leave like this?" the young man asked. "At least we should wait until we are sure that Prince Taizé has fully grasped the situation and then..."
"I believe he should be fine." Gru said calmly.
"Oh." The young man stopped talking.
Gru nodded slightly in his mind. This is indeed a very smart and capable man. He is the spy arranged by Eufu to collect intelligence in Taitalia. That is the big report he wrote to Gru.
With that information and Cedros' endless plan, Gru fully grasped the situation in the country of Taitalia, and was able to seize the most important key points and make a single blow. Coupled with Taize's ability,
Only in this way can such a major event that has changed the situation and direction of this country be completed in the most efficient way in such a short period of time.
No matter how powerful the fist is, it is useless without a mind.
But Gru's expression is not at all relaxed now, and his mind is still elsewhere. Because he knows that compared with his effortless efforts to simplify things here, the negotiation and mediation over Erathia will not be a fight.
Kill, but verbal diplomacy without the slightest smell of blood may be a hundred times more difficult and a thousand times more dangerous.
Because there are no fists there, only heads. And the head without fists is undoubtedly the most dangerous, because someone may take this opportunity to chop it off.
At the same time, in the palace of Erathia.
"Offord has brought Lord Borugan to the presence of Her Majesty the Queen." The herald's voice and articulation, which were originally the best in the country, became a little awkward because of this somewhat ridiculous and difficult-to-pronounce title.
A short figure, wearing an outfit that seemed to be trying to look as solemn and gorgeous as possible, strode up the steps covered with red carpet. Suddenly he stepped on the cloak he had pulled on the ground, and tumbled from it like a gourd.
