I'm not that kind of orc

"If this is the case, someone will naturally give an explanation." As I said, I moved my eyes to the side, looked at Princess Alyssa beside me, and made a "please" gesture to her, "His Highness Alyssa, It's up to you to speak here."

It is a part of the orc tradition to refuse to accept it, don't play if you are unhappy (2)

All the attention of the orc representatives turned to Princess Alyssa.

Princess Alisa met everyone's gaze, straightened her back, and looked solemn and awe-inspiring.

She spoke in a quiet voice: "Saidian was invaded by orcs from the western border in the past wars. The reason why we attacked the Bloodaxe clan who migrated to the western border is because of the impression of the threat of orcs in the past. Overreaction. But now, through the efforts of the Bloodax clan representative Brock Bloodaxe, we have realized the fact that the Bloodax clan migrated here and did not intend to pose a threat to this country. Here, we are willing to provide certain supplies to the Bloodax clan As compensation, we will also set aside about [-] hectares of unused land within the Border Territory as a regulated hunting ground for the Bloodaxe Clan."

"Hunting ground?" Relogard frowned.

"Yes, out of consideration for the current tense relationship between the two clans, in order to avoid more conflicts, we will not sell the land as the orc settlement, but we can open up part of the land to the Bloodaxe clan as a hunting ground. The land of the hunting ground is controlled by the Saidian Border Garrison Area. We will use enchantment to delineate this part of the hunting area and manage the ecology in it. The opening period of the hunting area is tentatively scheduled for ten years. Season is open to the Bloodaxe clan, of course the opening of the hunting grounds can only be used for hunting, no people are allowed to stay, nor are they allowed to build fortifications without permission, and some rules must be followed when using it.”

Princess Alisa said and spread out a contract on the table. The front of this contract wrote some rules for the hunting ground, including the hunting season, the number of people who set foot on the hunting ground, available equipment, the range of the hunting ground, and hunting conditions. Hard limits on scale and detail.

"These are the preliminary regulations, and the specific two parties can conduct further discussions. Please note that the land of the hunting grounds is still owned by Saidian. If the orcs seriously violate the regulations, we have the right to take back the right to use the hunting grounds. But correspondingly, Blood Ax As long as the clan abides by the regulations, it has the right to use the hunting grounds, that is to say, it is okay to transfer this right to other clans even temporarily." Princess Alyssa looked back and forth at the representatives of each clan.

What she meant was easy to understand. Saidian opened a hunting ground on the western border, and the right to use this hunting ground belonged to the Bloodaxe clan in name, but each clan had the opportunity to use it.This means that the Western Valley on the western border of Saidian can support more people, and there is still a part of the valley occupied by the Bloodaxe Clan. If there is a hunting ground, the emigrated population of a certain tribe can be temporarily accommodated here.

The Bloodaxe clan can exchange the favor of a tribe by selling the land and the right to use the hunting grounds. The emigrated population of that tribe lives with the Bloodaxe clan in the valley, and can also be used as the support of the Bloodaxe clan. Guaranteed to no longer invade the Bloodaxe settlement.

"Then, regarding the violation of the land of the other five tribes, although the elves involved were sinners exiled by our side in the past, Saidian is still willing to take part of the responsibility to prove his innocence." Princess Alisa continued. Go on, "Here, on behalf of my mother, Queen Celestis, I solemnly promise that we will send an investigation team to assist you in investigating the real culprit who instigated this incident. In addition, we will assist the land purification of various tribes Work."

"You mean, you want to help us purify the land?" The chief of the Luefeng clan spoke.

"Yes. Saidian has a profound background in magic research, and we are also very experienced in dealing with black magic and curses. We can send people to investigate the situation of the eroded land, and then research corresponding countermeasures, make props or Send people to assist the purification work of each tribe. I think, with our support, the progress of the restoration of each tribe's land should be greatly improved. Of course, these assistances have a premise, that is, each tribe must sign a long-term mutual agreement with Saidian. A non-aggression pact and an immediate withdrawal of troops from the border."

The expressions of several chiefs became loose because of this sentence. The proposal that Princess Alyssa came up with is indeed a big temptation for the various tribes whose land has been eroded and urgently need to rebuild their homes.What's more important is that this promise can prove Saidian's innocence to a certain extent. Just imagine that if Saidian's elves planned the land erosion criminals, it would be contradictory for them to help purify the land now.

But I can clearly feel the hesitation of the orc representatives. As the old chief said before, the most important conflict for each tribe is not whether Seidian really did something secretly, but that they urgently need temporary help. The little extra land in our Bloodaxe clan's valley alone is far from enough to resettle part of the population's settlements.

Now it's time to show another key card in pursuit of the victory.

"I understand your difficulties, and I also know that the main reason why the major clans will send troops to the south is because the eroded settlements are no longer enough to accommodate the population of each clan. Here I have prepared a suitable solution for you." As I spoke, I snapped my fingers, "Arsena!"

"Here!" Arsena, who was sitting on my left, responded quickly as if she had been waiting for a long time, "I am honored to meet you chiefs, I am the Crown Prince of Helgia, Eldest Princess Arsena Van Domina is also the lord of the northwestern highlands of Helgia." She smiled confidently, and glanced at the orc representatives on the opposite side, "I already have a general understanding of the whole process of the encroachment on the land of each tribe. Here, I Ready to propose a deal to everyone here."

"Trade, trade?" Relogard seemed a little unexpected.

"That's right, trade. I think most of the chiefs should be familiar with doing business with us." Arsena spread her hands frankly, "In recent decades, the human traveling merchants in Helgia have been Humans and the orc tribes have opened up a trade route, the orc tribes exchange materials from us that are not produced in the north, and we buy rare furs and animal materials from you, we have always cooperated sincerely." Arser Na deliberately put on a courteous smile.

? "..." All the chiefs were silent.

I know that they, like me, now associate the expression on Arsena's face with those... human profiteers who often come to the tribal settlements.

However, Arsena quickly straightened her expression again, and waved her hand to signal to the knights behind her. A knight walked to the side of the orc representatives, and put down a bundled contract in front of each representative.

"My transaction proposal is actually very simple..." Arsena kindly explained when the representatives spread out the contract for inspection, "That is, I will hire troops from the tribes of the chiefs as regular troops in my territory." As a reward, I will allocate a total of about [-] hectares of fertile land in my territory for your tribes to live in!" She proudly opened her hands to the contract book in front of the representatives, " How about it, is it a good deal?"

It is a part of the orc tradition to refuse to accept it, don't play if you are unhappy (3)

The chiefs read the contract in front of them. The content of the contract was written in the common language of the Confederacy. Under the influence of human merchants, most orcs learned to speak the common language. Orcs also teach children this script in the academy.However, not everyone can read common text fluently. The chief of the Luefeng clan deliberately took the contract and asked Igna next to him for the details of the contract several times.

Relogard was the first to look away from the contract and stare at Arthena.

"Being Helgia's mercenary group...meaning we want to be Hergia's dogs?" He made no secret of his doubts about this contract.

Arsena shrugged at him: "Oh, don't put it so harshly, it's just an employment relationship. You must have heard of the mercenary system in Helgia. The northern fortress of Helgia, But I have hired many orc mercenaries, and caravans going to various tribes occasionally hire orcs as bodyguards and guides, right?"

As she spoke, she leaned her back on the high back of the stone chair in a leisurely manner: "Also, I have to correct you, it is not Hergia who hired you, but me. I just became the crown prince and I need to train myself. Your strength will support me greatly, and the wasteland you reclaimed will return to me after the ten-year deadline is reached. You don’t have to doubt my purpose too much. Of course, this is the same for you It is a generous return. The [-] hectares of inhabitable land, although uncultivated, still contains rich mountain forests and river resources. It should be enough to build two city-states, and you are on my land There is no rent or tax payment."

"Then what's the matter with dividing the living tribes into two different places and requiring all tribes to accept arms control?" Leilogard slapped the contract angrily.

"I don't think there should be any mystery about this. After all, this is my territory, and there must be some regulations to avoid things that are anti-customer-oriented." Arsena responded calmly, "If I say it openly, you will have nothing to do with it." You should feel that there is a problem if you set foot on my territory with restrictions, right?"

"Hmph, who can guarantee that we won't encounter a despicable raid when we step into your territory unarmed?" Relogard snorted.

"I didn't make you unarmed. There are not too many additional conditions in the contract. You can keep the minimum armed forces, but you can't own or manufacture siege equipment or build military fortifications without permission. The troop establishment must be subject to our regular monitoring. But the main command is still owned by the chief, and these are in line with our mercenary regiment system. The other conditions are that you agree to Saidian's proposal while signing this contract."

Arsena raised her eyebrows as she said: "Besides, this contract is just a piece of paper after all. No one can guarantee that you will not sign it and then tear up the contract. It is the same for everyone to take risks. Even so, I still I would like to believe in your credit. The dignified orc chief will not be afraid of me, a little human girl, will he?"

"If you want to provoke us with such words, why not." Lerogard roughly rubbed up the contract and threw it back at Arsena's face, "Anyway, I won't accept it!"

Arsena turned her head slightly to avoid the ball of paper without changing her expression, and then smiled meaningfully at Leilogard: "You don't accept it, but it doesn't mean that other people won't accept it, the 'Shouya Clan' Lord Chief."

Relogard frowned slightly at her emphatic tone, but he soon realized it.

He turned his head to look at the other orc representatives. The chiefs other than him were carefully reading the contents of the contract.

At this time, Arsena gave a heavy blow with a confident smile: "Confirmed, the content of the contract is the same as what was agreed yesterday? Can you give me the final answer?"

When she said this, she was looking at the chiefs of the Baishan clan and the Leiyu clan.

The two chiefs did not answer directly, but flattened the contract in their hands, and the two human knights stepped forward and handed them quills, and they took the pens and signed them.

"What are you doing?" Lerogarde shouted with his eyes wide open. It was obviously unexpected that someone would agree to this contract.

"As you can see, not every chieftain shares your radical ideas, Relogard," I said, looking into his face.

"Damn it! Have you been bought by them long ago?" Relogard thumped the table and stood up, "Didn't you ever think that this group of humans has problems too? Long ears are not the only ones found in those damn strongholds." !"

"Calm down, Leilogard, haven't you thought about the possibility that they are not the real murderers?" The middle-aged chief of the Baishan clan handed over the signed contract to the human knight, "This human girl has shown enough courage , I am willing to take responsibility for my own decisions.”

"Every leader has to think about his own tribe. We are now facing the risks of every choice, and we don't have much time to think about it. If we insist on making a choice, it is better than letting my tribe Their lives are betting on a war where the truth is still unclear, I think it is acceptable to trust their own people to guarantee them this little risk." The old chief of the Lei Yu clan said calmly.

"Guarantee from my own people? Are you talking about this kid who became a prisoner of war?" Relogard raised his hand and pointed at me in a rage, "Are you kidding me!"

"It's not me who vouches for them, but someone more prestigious than you and me, Relogard." I calmly stared at his fingers.

"What did you say?" Leilogard frowned, suddenly seemed to realize something, and shifted his gaze to the envoy's blood pact in front of me, his face suddenly changed.

At the same time, an old voice floated faintly from the depths of the aisle behind him: "It's the old man... who persuaded them."

The sound of footsteps and the long stick on the ground became clearer, and then, under the guard of two orc warriors, the old chief walked into the hall with a long stick.

"Sorry, I'm late." He apologized to everyone in the hall.

"Master Walo." The chief shaman of the Thunder Yu clan stood up and greeted him.

Igna, who had been expressionless since the official start of the negotiation, stood up and saluted the old chief. She had always been present in the name of the old chief. At the moment when the old chief appeared in person, she was not qualified to occupy this seat. of.

The old chief smiled kindly at her, walked over slowly, and sat on that chair.

This time, all the chiefs of the six major tribes were present.

It is a part of the orc tradition to refuse to accept it, don't play if you are unhappy (4)

With the old chief taking his seat, the atmosphere on the orc side has changed significantly.The old chief is a veteran and apprentice who once fought with the hero Azak, and is also the most respected shaman of all tribes today. Elders with status such as the chief of the Leiyu clan and the chief of the Luefeng clan have also listened to his teachings. The prestige among the various tribes is unmatched.

When he sat down with that calm demeanor, the other chiefs looked at him in awe.

Leilogard, who was standing beside him, was dumbfounded for a long time before he could speak to the old chief: "...why?"

I think now he has fully understood who told us the truth about the dispatch of troops from various tribes, and who introduced Arsena to reach a consensus with the two chiefs.

"Son, you still don't know what the war of losing glory will bring us? I didn't show up before because I don't know where there is a suitable way to point you. I know that words alone cannot dissuade you. "The old chief said and glanced at me, "Now that he has won a new choice for us, I think you should think more carefully about your people."

The old chief turned his attention to Princess Alyssa: "I am the chief of the Bloodaxe clan, Waro Bloodaxe. On behalf of my clan, I accept Saidian's compensation proposal. I am willing to try to resolve the past grievances, and you non-aggression

guilty pact. "

"Thank you very much for your understanding." Princess Alisa smiled.

The chief of the Luefeng clan watched this scene, pondered for a long time, and finally raised his hand. Arsena understood and instructed a knight to give him a pen.

In a blink of an eye, four of the six major clans fell to us, leaving only the Shouya clan and the Langshou clan.

Leilogard looked around, disbelief written all over his face.Of course he couldn't believe that he was still in charge of the position of the six tribes in the negotiation the day before yesterday, but now, the situation was completely out of his control in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it, are you going to sell your compatriots for the benefit of your own clan? You, you...are you going to abandon our contract of common advance and retreat!?" Leilogard questioned the other chiefs.

"They didn't, they just made a rational choice." In response to his questioning, it was not the chiefs of the various tribes who signed the contract but Arsena, "I am not going to let the people who signed the contract and the compatriots who have differences kill each other , as long as you give up this stupid declaration of war and become my allies, I will provide land for your tribes. But no matter what, if there are only two tribes left, I want to face the people who hired Helgia to support them Sai Di'an, I'm afraid your chances of winning are not great, and it will not do you any good if you continue to hold on."

"I have reservations about these contracts." The chief of the Wolfhead Clan finished speaking and looked at Leilogard, as if waiting for him to make a final decision.

I have heard about the recent situation of the Wolf Head Clan from the old chief. During the incident, the Wolf Head Clan was severely damaged in several biological disasters, and received considerable assistance from the Shouya Clan. After the Shouya Clan investigated and attacked those strongholds The Wolfhead Clan was the first to respond when the rally to the south was initiated.The chief of the Wolf Head Clan is famous for his kindness and righteousness. He may not fully agree with Leilogard's decision, but because of the kindness of the Shouya Clan to his tribe, at least at the beginning, he will still choose to support it. Of the Hunting Clan.

"Don't scare me with such things!" Relogard waved his hands and shouted, and continued to stare at the other chiefs, "You idiots, think about the disasters caused by elves and humans, damn it!"

"You have been dazzled by suspicion and hatred, child, you need to let go of your paranoia and think calmly." The old chief persuaded him with a sigh.

"Don't talk to me about those old men who have nothing! You have no idea how many of our people died under the hooves and claws of those crazy beasts! My best brother died while attacking those strongholds! I only Knowing that my clan is the first to jump out to fight, but you persuade other clans to jump into the enemy's trap for the safety of your own clan! Mom

Yes, even if it is only my clan, I will never surrender! "Relogard became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Lei Luo..." Igna said, but Lei Luogard, who was already on top, didn't hear her voice at all.

I noticed the gazes from both sides—Princess Alyssa and Arsena looked at me at the same time, and there were stubborn forces in the tribal coalition that identified Saidian and Helgia as the culprits. We had expected this situation before. When it arrived, I promised them that there was a solution.

We succeeded in dividing the tribal alliance, but it was not enough.I am afraid that only the Shouya clan and the Langshou clan are left. This force that persists in declaring war on Saidian should not be underestimated. Princess Alisa's promise is to stop this stupid dispute.

And now, the two of them have perfectly fulfilled their responsibilities...

So it's my turn.

"Relogard Shouya." I called out, my voice echoing in the empty hall.

The scene suddenly fell silent because of my voice, and everyone's eyes were on me.

Leilogard also looked over, and when he met my gaze, he seemed to have faintly noticed something, and his brows were tightened.

"As I said, this negotiation is a negotiation between our orcs and clans, and now we have differences." I stared into his eyes and said slowly, "There has always been a blunt question about the differences among our orcs. the solution, isn't it?"

"Don't you..." He sensed my intention.

"Before this negotiation, I obtained the right to veto their contracts and proposals from these two princesses." I looked around.

Princess Alyssa nodded slightly, and Arsena explained: "The contract I gave you will come into effect when you set foot on my territory. If Mr. Bullock objects temporarily, I will give up this contract." The transaction, the contract is void."

Even though I didn't tell them the whole picture of my plan, they still chose to believe me.

So at this time, I can't back down!

"And now I'm willing to bet this right..." I stood up from my seat, and looked at Leilogard who was also standing across the long table.

He didn't avoid my gaze.

"Relogard Shouya." I stared closely at his eyes and said word by word in our orc language, "I challenge you!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the expressions of surprise or doubt around him.

Leilogard stared at me for a long time, and finally squeezed out a ferocious smile from that face:
