From Witcher to Lord of the Empire.

Chapter 269 Why did you entrust half of the people to me?

Because Ziegelin swore not to let Fuchs enter his clan's territory, and Fuchs also regarded Ziegelin's people as dirty things, so they finally chose the wilderness that was relatively close to the residences of both clans as the place of negotiation.

At first glance, this form of meeting was thought to be a meeting between the two sides of the war. It was a way for Lan to preview what might happen later.

A natural rock the size of a millstone has been scrawled as a conference table.But at this moment, there is no need for it to exist, because it is more like a ring than a conference table, and the leaders of the two clans have already jumped on it and are about to fight.

And now Lann also faintly knows from the content of the quarrel between the two, why it was clearly a battle between the two clans against monsters before, but it faintly became a three-way melee.

"Zigrin has always coveted our 'Davor's Bottomless Pit'. When they heard the news that the monsters were not cleaned up by the general cleaning, they immediately ran over, saying that they wanted to help us clean up the monsters together, but who didn't do it during the 'cleaning'?" Will you bring building materials?"

"They just wanted to find an excuse to take the opportunity to build a gathering place in the mine and occupy our Fuchs' territory. They didn't expect monsters to really emerge from the mine, making their dream come to naught. Ha, a group of brains suffered Hammer fool!"

The Bottomless Pit of Davor is the mine where Sharma emerged continuously in the previous battles. It is a rare open-pit diamond mine in Mahakam, with rich output.Although the ore mined in Mahakam must be handed over to Carbon Mountain for public use, and the resources in the mine will not be the private property of the clan, but having the mining right of this kind of mine can also strengthen the clan's position in Mahakam. The right to speak.

"Has your tongue been pinched by the tongs, damn Fuchs!" Patriarch Ziglin said angrily, "Davor's bottomless pit was developed by our two clans together, when did it become your Fuchs mine hole!"

The patriarch Fuchs argued: "When the Great Elder allocated Davor's Bottomless Pit to Fuchs, as compensation, you also have more quotas in the 'Davor Pool', don't you!"

As he said that, Patriarch Fuchs jumped violently, indicating the artificial lake under his feet that was intercepted by the dam.

"The pool of Davor is so big, does the quota make sense? When did you draw water and fish according to the quota!"

The two patriarchs I saw grabbed each other's collars, and then they were about to start punching to the flesh.And the clan warriors brought over behind them also had bad eyesight, fearing that a scuffle would be staged.

Lan sighed silently in his heart, and signaled Gabo with his eyes, hoping that he, as the messenger of the great elder, could help separate the two patriarchs.

This is really not an occasion for Lane, an outsider, to speak.It's not that he doesn't have this ability, but that he is worried that he will be involved in the feud between the two clans and lose his position as a third party.Once this is done, it will become very troublesome to communicate with the various clans, and even communicate with the Great Elder.

Lan even felt that the two patriarchs had specially staged a show in front of him, trying to lure him into it.After getting along for this period of time, he has already added the term "cunning" to his impression of dwarves.

It is naturally impossible for Gabo to ignore Lan En's eyes. In fact, even he himself doesn't want to get involved in the conflict between his clan and Fuchs after taking office in Carbon Mountain.It's a pity that responsibility is now on his shoulders.

"The patriarch, and Fuchs... the patriarch." Gabo tightened his waistcoat and stepped forward, "Our guest is still here, and his time is short."

Patriarch Ziglin immediately shouted: "Gabo, why are you speaking for outsiders!"

And after Patriarch Fuchs received Gabo's "honorary title", he seemed to have won the victory, shaking his head, let go of Patriarch Ziglin, and took a step back.

"We, Fuchs, don't like to mess around as much as the people of Ziglin. The most important thing now is to carry out another general cleaning. Every time we argue now, the situation may become worse because of our delay. point……"

"As expected, your tongue was cut off by the tongs, do you know how to talk nonsense now!" Patriarch Zigrin jumped up even more.

Seeing that the topic of the two sides finally turned to the real thing, Lan finally stepped forward: "I believe that the two patriarchs have read the letter from the great elder, and they have also learned about the previous battle through the warriors in their own clan. "

What Lane was talking about was the battle situation when he slaughtered the Dragon Lizard and then burned all Sharma to death.The two patriarchs obviously knew about it. Although they still had doubts about Lan En's real combat power because they hadn't seen Lan En's battle scene with their own eyes, their expressions still became serious.

"The two patriarchs asked the Great Elder for help because of the shortage of manpower." Lan En said softly, "Now we are here, so the problem should be solved."

"The warriors in my team and I are proficient in crusade against monsters. But we also need the help of the two patriarchs, so that we can know what monsters are here and where they gather. Not only do we have to do it once' Clean up', but also to cut grass and roots."

Lan En said pointedly: "This is also to relieve the worries of the soldiers who leave home in the future, so that they don't have to worry about their families being harmed by the threat of monsters during their absence."

The guards in standard lion armor stood up straight behind their duke, puffing out their chests in response to Lane's words.

Patriarchs Ziglin and Fuchs looked at Lan, who had a humble expression and confident words, and then glanced at the troops behind him. The spirit and momentum were undoubtedly elite.

……

The area in which the Zieglings and Fuchses lived was called Davor.

The area of ​​activity of the Fuchs clan is a series of mines connected by the "Davor Bottomless Pit". The place where Lane and the others fought was the exit of one of the branch roads.

The Ziglin clan is responsible for several independent mines, and some clan members are responsible for the cultivation of underground mushrooms, hunting in the black pine forest, etc. Compared with the Fuchs clan, they are more abundant.

The task of Ran and his party is to work with the dwarves of the two clans to destroy the monster lairs around their respective survival paths, so as to ensure that the dwarves who go out to work will not be harmed again.

But when making a plan with Lan and his party, Patriarch Ziglin made an unexpected opinion.

"Our Chiglin has not been greatly affected. Those scattered monsters are far less troublesome than the monsters that burst out of Davor's bottomless pit like a nest. The Duke should focus on Fuchs and the others. "

Not to mention Lan and others, even the people of the Fuchs clan were startled by this almost humble gesture. These dwarves looked at Patriarch Ziglin suspiciously, always feeling that the other party was planning some kind of conspiracy.

But since even the patriarch Zigrin has made his own decision, and Gabo can't persuade him, Lan and the others naturally don't have much to say.

So Lan brought most of his team's combat strength to follow the Fuchs clan into the bottomless pit of Davor, and Geralt took a few people to join the Ziglin clan in their big cleaning for the sake of insurance. A little witcher opinion.

"I think there's something wrong with it." Before parting, Geralt found Lane to discuss softly, "Even if it's just like the Ziglin people said, they are not as lucky as Fuchs to be affected by monsters. But according to the two of them Judging from the current relationship between the clans, it is far from being able to make this kind of "humility". Who would dislike the fact that there are too many reinforcements, and will give up the reinforcements to the enemy?"

"They should rush to ask us to assign more manpower to Zigrin."

"But they did ask Carbon Mountain for help before." Lann frowned and thought, "Geralt, in your previous decades of witcher career, have you ever encountered something similar to the release of a witcher?" What happens when someone entrusts you with something and then cancels it in the end?”

The white wolf thought for a while, and said, "There are quite a few—on the good side, the monsters that harassed them are gone, and there is no need to hunt demons anymore; on the downside, they need to use those monsters to achieve their goals." What purpose, so I don’t want to get too close to us and expose the plan.”

"Have these circumstances bothered you in any way?"

"If you turn your back and walk away, nothing will happen."

"We can't just turn around and leave." Lan sighed, "If the second situation happens, what do you think the Chieglin clan hopes to achieve through those monsters?"

Geralt thought for a while, shook his head, and asked for Lane's opinion: "What do you think?"

Lan didn't speak, and the eyes of the dark golden lion eyes were only cast in the direction of the Fuchs clan.

"I can't believe it. They're dwarves...but if something like this really happens, which side are we going to take?" Geralt hesitated. "Or just leave as if we didn't know anything?"

"We can only stand on the side of the dwarves, Geralt." Lane mused, "I will keep in touch with Fuchs' side, and you will follow up with Ziglin's side. When they come back from the cleaning, they will have a closer look with me." Tell me what happened - let's hope our worries were unfounded."

……

Gabo left with his clan companions after a short farewell to Rann.Geralt nodded towards Lan, indicating that he can rest assured.

On the other hand, the members of the Fuchs clan didn't know why they stayed near Davor's Pond for a long time. It seemed that they were not in a hurry to return to the clan land, but were discussing something.

After a while, Petrit Fuchs, who was rescued by Lann in the battle at the entrance of the mine before, came over, and beside him was the patriarch of his clan.

"Haha, Duke Lannister!" The bearded dwarf's voice was heard from a distance, his laughter was like a steel hammer hammering an iron ingot, resolute and heroic.

"I haven't been able to introduce you formally before, this is our patriarch—Tomor Fuchs."

Then there was a louder laughter than Petrit: "You can just call me Tomor, and you don't need those intrusive etiquette, dwarves don't care about that kind of thing!"

"I haven't officially thanked you for saving Petritt's mine team! That battle was dangerous enough just to hear it. Although I didn't see how you cut down those monsters with my own eyes, I definitely Believe that we can wipe out those mindless things with your help!"

Tomor Fuchs' beard was the longest among all the dwarves, and several iron rings were tied on it to prevent it from falling away, but it looked like a big broom, flickering with Tomor's words.

"You just said that you don't need etiquette, but now you are so polite to me." Lan En smiled modestly, "As for helping—that's the purpose of my coming here at the request of the Great Elder. And I believe that even if I don't show up , Petrit can also handle such a scene."

"Ha." Tomor shook his broom-like beard vigorously, "I'm not worried that Petrit will be able to deal with those monsters, but it's different with Zigrin present, those guys..."

There was anger in Tomor's eyes, and Petrit also began to express anger with the enemy.

It is not easy for Lan En to express an opinion on this topic, so he can only try to change the subject: "Mr. Tomor, I wonder if the letter from the Great Elder..."

Lane's ending was drawn out, and his tone was full of inquiries and expectations.Visible to the naked eye, the emotions that Tomor had aroused because of the Ziglin clan dissipated.

The bearded patriarch looked around for a moment, then gave Peritelli a wink.

The dwarf foreman with a loud voice immediately understood the meaning of the clan chief, and ran to the side on short legs, and began to gather his compatriots to pack up, leaving a space for Lan and the chief.

"Duke Lannister... I already understand what the Great Elder means. You deal with the monsters for us in exchange for the peace of our clan land, and we send young men to form a regiment to help your country. Then according to the conditions of each of our clans we send young men Quantity, help you hand over the corresponding drawings to the Great Elder, is that right?"

Tomor blew on his beard: "This process...is not very pleasant."

"You're very straightforward." Lan couldn't help chuckling, Tomor Fuchs was not as secretive as the elder, "but that's probably how it is."

Tomor shook his head, glanced at the direction of his people again, lowered his voice and asked, "Duke Lannister, I don't know that your country is called 'Sintra', right? How many young men does it need? "

Lan raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that Patriarch Tomor's attitude...was ambiguous.

Is it?

In the next second, Lan heard Tomore say seriously: "If possible, Duke Lannister. I want to entrust half of the young Fuchs to you."

"Also, I would like to ask you to help us..." Tomor stepped on the slightly moist soil under his feet, "...help us blow up the dam of the 'Davor Pond' and let the Yaruga River The waves from the shunt pour into my 'Davor's Bottomless Pit' and destroy this place!"
