This Lich Needs More Money

The Mind Flayer's confession gave Umbersheu something unexpected. This negotiation went very smoothly with the mind flayer's humility and Amber's "courtesy".

Perhaps this is the result of previous efforts. When your status is improved, many operations that should be troublesome will naturally be omitted. Many people will worry about offending you and take the initiative to solve those minor troubles for you.

The relevant information about enslaving the Kuo-Toa fishmen was obtained, and Amber Xiu had almost figured out the attitude of the orcs.

Amberxiu put forward a proposal for peace between the two countries.

"It's almost winter now, and the war is hard to fight. Can you orcs negotiate a peace with Ryan?"

"Peace?"

The mind flayer general showed an expression of surprise and surprise at first, but finally shook his head and sighed.

"I'm afraid, it's not that easy."

Amberxiu said: "Why is this not easy? I am familiar with world peace. I have mediated the war between the dwarves and the elves. I stopped the invasion of the Githyanki. I also successfully helped the mermaids on the bottom of the sea repel the invasion." Demogorgon's minions."

Amber Xiu spread his hands and said confidently: "No one understands world peace better than me!"

Urbano Pacheco has an unreal feeling. These days, the mind flayers are captured and become generals. Liches have begun to maintain world peace. The world is changing too fast. Mind flayers like this I really can’t understand short-lived species.

"I also really hope for an armistice, but it's a pity that it can't happen."

Urbano Pacheco could only explain to Amber Xiu that the orcs had been bullied by Ryan so badly that the majority of slaves in Ryan's country were either dwarves or orcs and were used as beasts. After breaking the city, the Lane people didn't talk about human rights to the orcs. Those who could be enslaved were sent as slaves, and those who couldn't be enslaved were killed. That's why Allen realized enlightenment at the Dragon Field behind the city wall.

The whole family of those orcs are dead, how do you ask them to let go of their hatred?

Thanks to the fact that the current commander is a mind flayer and does not have the kind of deep-seated hatred for Ryan that he doesn't care about, he can still treat this war rationally. If it were any other orc commander, no matter how wide your Emerald River is, you would still have to swim across it and tear the Lions apart.

Urbano Pacheco said helplessly: "Ultraman Master, I can understand your approach. It is best for you, a weapons dealer, to stop and stop and maintain the status quo. But it is a pity that this It should be difficult for peace talks to succeed. You can't understand the current state of the orcs. In fact, my telepathy is not giving orders, but suppressing the anger of the orcs. Even if I agree, the orcs will have no chance of peace talks. The king will chop off my head with an ax that day."

"But now that the war has turned into a quagmire, the orcs really want to move the sea ships to the Emerald River? Are the orcs prepared to starve half of the people to support this war?"

Amberxiu doesn't understand military affairs, so it will take a long time to build a ship by force.

A protracted war with Ryan would take less than three to five years to finish, and if the orcs continue to fight bad wars for such a long time, they will be unable to hold on. They do not have the domestic ability to support an ultra-high-intensity foreign war.

"The decisive battle will come soon. Winter is coming. The Emerald River will freeze. With a little magic, it can turn into completely solidified ice."

"If you can tell this, it seems that the people in Lane also know about it."

Urbano Pacheco's tentacles were crossed like a knotted beard, and he said helplessly: "I would like to keep it a secret, but the orcs' mastery of magic is really poor. It is difficult to successfully cast this kind of large-scale strategic magic. It’s very difficult, let alone keeping it secret. People in Lane already know that it’s impossible to hide it from others.”

Urbano Pacheco is also helpless. According to the mind flayer's current habits, he should secretly transform his host, wait until he reaches adulthood and choose to escape, then find a remote village with few human traces to live, and then use mind control to hypnotize several people. Orcs, plant tadpoles on them, and breed a few mind flayers.

When you are old, let the young people spread out and hide, and live a simple and safe life.

Perhaps when the mind flayers from other planes come back, they can board the shell battleship and return to that glorious empire.

But now, Urbano Pacheco was exposed, completely captured by the orcs, and turned into a war machine. This is to be tied to death in the chariot of the orcs. It is not necessarily possible that both will be prosperous, but it is certain that both will suffer losses.

If he wasn't forced to do so, it would be none of his business for humans to go to war with orcs.

What's even more helpless is that the overall strength of the orcs is not as good as Ryan's. Even if they are fighting well now, if Ryan can't help but mobilize other border troops to come back for support, the orcs will be completely defeated.

Urbano Pacheco also knew that the best outcome of this war was for the orcs to fail, and then severely injure Ryan, causing Ryan to lose sight of one thing and decline.

But Urbano Pacheco estimated that the orcs would not be able to see the moment of Ryan's destruction. If a wise and powerful leader came out of Ryan to turn the tide, then the orcs would really have no choice but to perish in mourning and unwillingness.

The advantages in population and national strength accumulated over hundreds of years cannot disappear in a short period of time.

This mind flayer has the same idea as Amber Xiu. It is impossible to smash a behemoth like Ryan by external force, and can only wait for internal division.

It's a pity that the orcs can't accept waiting. They can't wait to hammer Ryan to pieces, but the result is to hammer Ryan into a piece of stone.

Urbano Pacheco also wanted to get away, but he couldn't help himself.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Urbano Pacheco was very frank with Amber. The Mind Flayer might have hoped that Amber could bring some changes to this doomed war.

However, peace talks were impossible. The orcs would never accept talks with the Lions.

The orcs would not stop until the blood of the Lions filled the Emerald River.

This is the fate of extreme races and extreme religious ideologies. When you put out this sign, others can only fight back in a more extreme way.

You are racially discriminating, so if I don't discriminate, won't I suffer?

You are enslaving us with religious fanaticism, so if we are not fanatic, won't we be waiting to die? !

Amber began to understand why Arthur Lion treated even the dragons equally. Perhaps he had seen the harm of extreme racism at that time, so he tried his best to avoid this situation, but he didn't expect the power of inertia to be so strong that relying on only one Holy King was far from enough.

In other words, the orcs are really determined to fight Lion to the death.

After confirming this, Amber gave up the idea of ​​a peace conference between the two countries.

Many people think that the so-called "fighting to the death" is a situation of being too passionate, but in fact it is not. War is continuous, fighting every day, and people die every day. It is not that when the charge is sounded and people rush forward with a roar, they will be too passionate.

In fact, during the duration of the war, people will constantly receive various information brought by the war. You will keep hearing who loses and who wins, and you will keep seeing comrades fall.

In this case, even the hottest blood will cool down after a few days.

And being able to maintain such a strong fighting power is not something that can be explained by being too passionate, but a real national hatred.

Ryan and the orcs are the same. Putting aside the right and wrong, this war is really not an impulse, but an outbreak of hatred that has been suppressed for many years.

But the problem is not big. Amber Xiu was just looking for an excuse to make trouble. If peace talks don't work, then change the name.

Amber thought about it for a while, and then said to the mind flayer general: "The orcs hate Ryan so much, and Ryan hates the orcs so much. Do you want to fight before the war? The orc king challenges Emperor Ryan. Do you think the orcs will agree?"

Ubano Pacheco was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Master Ultraman, you just said it was for peace..."

This lich didn't say that before. He even brought up the previous mediation of the war between dwarves and elves, and said that no one knows world peace better than him.

"The duel is also for world peace. The emperor died in the war, and it is estimated that the war should end. Regardless of winning or losing, everyone has a sigh of relief, and everyone can save many people from dying. Isn't this a good thing for everyone?"

It sounds like this, but this kind of rhetoric is meaningless to the mind flayer.

The racial inheritance of the mind flayer is very special. From the completion of the transformation, the mind flayer officially becomes an adult, and everything that should be learned will appear in the mind. So every mind flayer has a strong mental power and is a "veteran".

Everything that the previous generation has experienced will be refined and instilled into the next generation, so there are almost no fools among the Mind Flayers. Amber's words can fool fools, but they are not enough to fool the Mind Flayers.

This lich must be trying to make trouble, but Urbano Pacheco can't guess what the lich wants to do.

Rumor has it that this lich is extremely greedy for money. He instigated the emperors of the two countries to duel... Is it to sell tickets?

Although this idea is very outrageous, it seems to be the only reason that can be explained. It can't really be for world peace.

"Master Ultraman, your suggestion is good. The orc king should be very interested in beheading Emperor Ryan in public, but how can you guarantee that the Ryan people are willing? Their emperor doesn't seem to be a brave warrior."

From Urbano Pacheco's point of view, he certainly hopes that there will be as many variables as possible on the battlefield. The orcs seem to have an advantage but can never defeat Ryan. The more variables there are, the greater his chance of survival.

"Don't worry, Emperor Ryan is not as bad as others imagine."

In the eyes of others, turning into a dragon and crushing his own people to death is the greatest shame of Emperor Ryan. No one thinks such an emperor can go to the battlefield.

Even if Emperor Ryan made some progress later, it was limited to "wisdom" rather than courage.

Only Amber Xiu knew that if he really went to the arena, the orc king would be beaten by "Emperor Ryan" so badly that his mother would not recognize him.

But it's better this way. When everyone sees the revival of the dragon tyrant, all races will unite to fight the dragon. If everything goes well, all troubles can be solved on the same day.

Urbano Pacheco said thoughtfully, "I can try my best to persuade the orc king for you, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."

"The orcs are bound to lose this battle. Only a duel can turn defeat into victory. The orc king is a person who pays special attention to honor. In addition, your telepathic ability, if this can't convince the orc king to agree to a duel. Then I can only say that your orc king is probably a goblin in disguise."

Urbano Pacheco laughed, this does make sense.

The orc king will most likely not refuse, but the premise of everything is that Amber can really arrange for Emperor Ryan to participate in the duel.

But why?

As the lich said, the orcs have no future in war, so the orcs need to fight, but Ryan doesn't need it.

Who would give up the advantage and choose such a possible suicide operation?
