I'm not that kind of orc

It was the presiding judge who rang the bell first on the elf side: "Before we talk about the answer, I think we should first discuss the rationality of your conditions. You asked for the cession of the land when you came up. Is this condition a little too much?"

Igna rang the bell: "We came up with such a condition after repeated discussions. The [-] hectares of livable land is at most the size of two or three towns, and it only needs to be unused wasteland. For It’s not a big problem for Saidian, who has a vast land and few people, right?”

"The important thing is not the size of the land, the land cession is obviously a violation of national sovereignty." Tolivia rang the bell with a cold face, throwing sharp words, "You are trampling on Saidian's national dignity. "

"If you want to talk about the violation of sovereignty, you attacked the residence of the Bloodax clan first." Igna responded coldly, "Not only that, but you also rejected all dialogues. If you follow your logic, don't you trample on the dignity of other countries? Is it going too far?"

At this time, the elder of the Luefeng clan added: "It is a very common behavior among our orc tribes to transfer land as a trading resource. I don't think you need to make a fuss about this issue."

This is indeed a fact. Compared with the countries of the civilized world that are adjacent to each other and fight for every inch of land, the settlements of the six major tribes living in the vast land but dangerous environment of the Behemoth Wilderness are very scattered, and the tribes generally live in a state that changes with the seasons. There is only a rough idea of ​​the specific boundaries of the state of safari and the reserved land. In some special cases, the land suitable for farming and grazing will be transferred between different tribes as trading resources.

Both Tolivia and the presiding judge looked skeptical, and reached out to the copper bell to speak, but Roland rang the bell before them and got the right to speak.

"I can believe that this kind of thing is true, but it doesn't make sense. Now it's a negotiation between the six major tribes and Saidian, and the rules between the orc tribes cannot be copied here." Roland calmly glanced at the face of the orc representative , "The key point is that the other five major tribes sent troops under the banner of the Bloodaxe clan to claim these lands from us. We think it is necessary for you to give a reasonable explanation for this. You asked us not to interfere with the use of the land, At least it is necessary to explain how you plan to use the land."

Good question Roland!

This question points straight to the real motives of the five tribes, which is what I'm desperate to know right now.

"We are going to use this land as an ordinary settlement to open up arable land, pastures and hunting areas." Igna simply replied.

"Will troops be stationed?" Tolivia asked another sharp question, "Who can guarantee that you will not use this as an outpost for a full-scale attack on Saidian?"

"If we want to conquer Sidian..." Igna said leisurely, and slowly turned her head to meet her eyes, the eyes on both sides were obviously sharp, "We can attack now with an army, there is no need Accompany you to play this farce."

"Once the land is transferred from the border, it means the change of the border, and we need to deploy new border defenses. Maybe you are planning to use this as an opportunity to drive straight in?" Tolivia sneered.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I've mentioned it specifically in the past. We sent troops just to gain enough power to speak. You have invaded the Bloodaxe clan's settlement several times, so you have reason to give sufficient compensation. "Igna remained calm.

Roland rang the bell: "It doesn't make sense. According to our previous reports, the area of ​​habitable land in Wallis Valley is more than enough for the Bloodaxe clan. The Bloodaxe clan doesn't need an extra piece of land for residence at all! What's more, you have already said that land transfer is very common among orc tribes, even if the land is assigned to the Bloodaxe clan, it can still be used by other tribes."

"This is our internal problem. Don't bother you. I have explained the use of the land clearly enough. You only need to know that our conditions are already here." At this time, Igna suddenly turned her body towards the Leaning back, the aura changed abruptly, "Whether you agree or not is your business, but whether you will take corresponding measures is our business."

Everyone can see that she no longer wants to continue entangled on this topic, so she directly throws out the intention of "speaking with fists".

The air temperature in the conference hall seemed to drop a few degrees suddenly. Igna's attitude revealed the fact that this negotiation seemed to be to avoid disputes as much as possible, but in fact it was still the frontier guards of the orc vanguards and elves assembled outside. It's just the epitome of a confrontation between forces. Calmness and restraint are only on the surface, and the situation under the surface is already in a state of explosiveness.

first negotiation (4)

The representatives of the elves exchanged glances without saying a word, but it is certain that the spiritual spells have connected their consciousness into an internal tableside discussion, and the most intense dispute is obviously from Roland and Tori Wei Ya, they leaned forward and stared at each other across from Princess Alyssa. I can imagine how fierce their quarrel was just through the dilemma in the eyes of Princess Alyssa in the middle.

In the end, the presiding judge of the elves grabbed the bell in front of him and rang it as if to stop the "infighting": "Since the land issue cannot be discussed for the time being, let's talk about your first decision." Three requests—to be honest, I think this is the point of the dispute, you propose..." She paused here, "You want to take our highness the princess as a hostage?"

Anyone can feel the change in the atmosphere when this topic is discussed, as if the lights of the spar suddenly turned into a cold tone, and the air was so cold that everyone's breath could frost.

I noticed that Princess Alisa tensed slightly.

She must have been the most nervous about it.

"There is such a thing." Igna nodded expressionlessly.

"This kind of condition...we can't accept it." The elf priest who hadn't spoken all this time rang the bell. Her tone and wording were not as calm as those of other representatives, and her voice was obviously lower. She was obviously not used to such occasions. .

As soon as the words fell, Tolivia shook the bell forcefully and then added: "Not only is it impossible to accept, let us hand over the heir of the country's leader as a hostage, what is the difference between this level of humiliation and a direct declaration of war? "

A representative from the Shouya clan rang the bell: "We asked to take hostages only to ensure the implementation of the previous conditions. After all, even if you agreed to the previous conditions, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not go back on your word in the middle." He glanced at Arsena's side deeply.

What he meant is easy to understand. Saidian is temporarily weak, but it does not mean that he will always be weak. Even if the expeditionary forces of the six major tribes are stronger than the current Saidian, it will be difficult for them to fight against the alliance countries of the civilized world. All contend.As long as Saidian received enough assistance, he would regain the initiative and be able to counter the six major tribes at any time.

But if the six major tribes have crucial hostages in hand, they can largely restrain Saidian's actions.

"Then what about the time limit for taking hostages? You said you want to use hostages to guarantee the execution of the conditions... You don't want our Highness to stay in the orc tribe for the rest of your life?" Roland rang the bell and asked.

"About this point, we are going to make it clear in this negotiation." The elder of the Luefeng clan spoke slowly, "We don't plan to permanently occupy the land that your country gave up, we are going to set a time limit - 20 years After 20 years, we will return the land and the hostages."

The representatives of the elves looked at each other in astonishment. It was the first time that the supplementary condition of a time limit for land transfer was proposed.

"Does this kind of promise have any meaning?" Tolivia was the first to react, frowning and ringing the bell, "Not to mention whether you will abide by the agreement in 20 years, maybe you will wave it the day after you get the hostages." Is the army attacking Saidian?"

"On this point, I can only ask you to believe in our credit." Igna responded to her blankly.

Tolivia raised her eyebrows, and then sneered out of anger: "You asked us for hostages to guarantee the execution of the conditions, but you want us to believe in your credit? There must be a limit to being unreasonable."

"Well..." Igna didn't seem to have the slightest intention to defend Tolivia's accusation, "Let's assume that if only the Bloodaxe clan was negotiating on the spot, you sit here, right?" Apologize for the past invasions, promise not to invade the valley again, and then propose a compensation plan. Then when the representative of the Bloodaxe clan raises questions, I guess you will ask him to believe in your credit? As I said, our six big The tribes united to talk to you just to get this right to speak, don’t you understand your situation?”

Igna explained a simple and rude truth, there is a very simple and quick way to make others "believe" you, that is to hold a knife in your hand...Of course it doesn't matter if you don't have a knife, as long as your fist is bigger than others .

At this time, Princess Alisa carefully reached out and picked up the bell in front of her. Before she rang, all the people present focused their attention on her.

This is the first time she has spoken at the meeting.

"If we really followed your terms..." she asked slowly, slowly raising her eyes to glance at the orc representatives, "Can you guarantee that you won't further invade Saidian's territory? "

"There is also the safety of the hostages." The presiding judge rang the bell and added.

"That's natural." The representative of the Shouya clan answered, "The conditions we put forward are precisely to avoid unnecessary fights, and the hostages are only taken to ensure the fulfillment of the conditions. The hostages are the most valuable when they are intact. when."

"Of course, the premise is that you will not do any stupid actions that violate the treaty. I don't think I need to remind you what will happen to the hostages then?" As soon as the representative of the Shouya clan finished speaking, Igna's cold voice It rang, and she didn't even ring the bell this time.

The sudden voice was terrifyingly threatening, and the atmosphere at the scene instantly dropped below freezing point. All the representatives of the elves focused their attention on her, but Igna just sat in her seat and greeted everyone coldly. gaze.

I turned my eyes to Princess Alisa, who stiffened her face so as not to look uncomfortable, but it seemed unnatural to do so.I could feel that Igna's words were like a poisonous snake wrapped around her neck, cold and flexible, making her body stiff.

They looked at each other tensely, and the atmosphere was so tense that people felt that it would not be surprising that someone would make a move in the next moment.In the end, it was the elf high priest who broke the silence.

"I don't know...shame..." She trembled with anger, and squeezed out a small voice from between her teeth.

Igna was unmoved, and was even unwilling to look at her sideways. The priest's accusation was indeed without momentum.

But in the next moment, the words from the priest's mouth made Igna frowned suddenly.

She said this: "You actually... want to humiliate our princess... The orcs are indeed a race of ghosts and beasts just like the legends!"

The scene fell into dead silence.

People can't help but wonder if they are suddenly deaf dead silence.

Ah, I almost forgot.

The thing that shocked me the most as an orc when I first came to this country...

It is the concept of elves.

first negotiation (5)

This time, not only all the orc representatives, but even the rest of the elf representatives turned their faces one by one to look at the elf high priest who made the astonishing remarks.

In the first half of this negotiation, Igna, who had been at ease in the first half of the negotiation, had a look of surprise and uncertainty on her face. She looked up and down the elf priest wearing a prayer robe, as if trying to distinguish whether the female elf in front of her was playing any trick or not. Pure brains are not quite right.

"Well, I seemed to... misheard just now, what did she just say?" The old shaman of the Baishan clan seemed to think he was deaf, and turned to look at the cavalry leader of the wolf head clan sitting next to him.

The cavalry leader, who was in his prime, shook his head at him with a bewildered expression.

There is no need to doubt, you all heard it right - as someone who has experienced it, I am silently chanting it in my heart.

Witnessing my fellow countrymen experience the culture shock I experienced for the first time, I have mixed feelings.

At this moment, the priestess, who is the focus of everyone's attention, didn't take into account the reactions around her at all, and fell into an even more bizarre delusion there: "Once Her Royal Highness is detained with you, from now on, as long as she or our side If you don't agree with your wishes, she will be stripped naked and tortured endlessly

Insults and violations, every day seems to be in hell... Ah no!Maybe you beasts won't be able to hold back on the day you are sent there! She said, glaring at the representative of the Shouya clan.

The Shouya clan is the clan that is in charge of managing Princess Arisa as a hostage among the conditions put forward by the six major clans.

"What the hell!?" The representative of the Shouya clan was completely stunned.

I guess the expression I showed when I was first arrested in the trial meeting should be similar to his now.

Afterwards, the elf priest slammed the table angrily, and stood up righteously: "We will never hand over the princess to you bastards!"

"High Priest Alessia?" Princess Alyssa was caught off guard by her.

"Wait, Alessia! Sit down!" Roland reached out and tugged at the priest's sleeve, "Calm down, you've been in the temple for too long..."

"Don't pull me, Roland! You heard it too..." Alessia shook off Roland's hand excitedly, and pointed at Igna, "This female orc just said that if we violate their proposal They will let a group of orcs line up to give Her Royal Highness to... no, it's too scary, I can't go on!" She said and hugged her head in horror.

"I think you'd better not say anything at all." Roland sighed.

"No, I didn't say that..." Igna said blankly, obviously completely confused by the hysterical elf priest.

"No need to quibble! Anyway, you orcs are the kind of country that has conquered any civilized race. From queens and princesses to common women, as long as they are women, they will capture and defile you.

Horrible race of filth, isn't it?Don't even think about how miserable it will be for Her Royal Highness to fall into your hands! "Alessia continued to run away.

This sounds really familiar...

The orc representatives looked at each other in blank dismay, and then, in unison, they——

Turned his face to me.

I stared at them for two full seconds before I realized, "Huh? Why are you all looking at me?"

"Brock..." It was Igna who spoke, she looked at me in shock, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "What have you been doing here?"

I was stunned for a moment, and then my eyes widened: "Hey, it has nothing to do with me! These elves have such virtues in the first place!"

They seem to think that I have done some unscrupulous things in this country to make the elves have such strange prejudices.

"You didn't do anything and they would have such a perception? How could such a nonsense happen?" Igna was full of disbelief.

All the orc representatives looked disbelieving.

The truth is, I'm so sorry!

"It's true!" I sighed, raised my hand and pointed to the side of the elves, "The elves' perception of us has been so distorted since ancient times, if you don't believe me, ask them yourself! Don't ask me for everything Come out and take the blame, okay?"

I've really had enough, it's okay to be misunderstood by these long ears all day long, but what kind of situation is it to be blamed by my fellow clan?

After listening to my words, the orc representatives collectively looked at the elf representative in doubt.

The reactions of the representatives of the elves were different: Princess Alyssa looked embarrassed, Roland sighed while holding his forehead, Tolivia's face was frozen, the presiding elf judge frowned, and the runaway Priest Alessia looked natural To the representatives of the orcs, I said a sentence that I felt very familiar with just now: "The orcs are prostitutes.

The incarnation of desire, this is common sense. "

The faces of all the orc representatives instantly became ugly as if they had eaten shit.

A few people suddenly realized something, and they threw at me one after another...

A sympathetic look.

Now you should understand how I felt at that time... I have been suffering like this until now.

By the way, I have worked hard in this country for so long, but there are still elves with such stubborn prejudices.

I looked at Roland with complicated emotions.
