Any more polite words would be an insult to Melanie's feelings.
This is the difference between Melanies and Yanis. Yanis will try her best to reach the top, and if there is no chance, she will also fully assist Roland.
But Melanies is different. She knows her character flaws and is willing to act as a green leaf.
Roland held her hand, held her in his arms, rubbed her smooth cheek, and enjoyed the silent and quiet time.
However, the good times are always short-lived. After a moment of tenderness, they have to face real problems.
In the war against Count Gruul, the performance of the idle tribal elves was extremely poor, even inferior to the well-disciplined human skitarii.
Although the Skitarii have only been in existence for a short period of time, and their individual combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the elves, under the excellent command and discipline of Agnes, their role is greater than that of these stragglers.
Actual combat is the best review. This small-scale war gave Roland a new understanding of army construction.
He decided to reorganize these small groups of elves.
He wanted to break up the original tribe and relocate these elves.
It is more difficult to touch changes in interests than to touch the soul.
This reform will affect the status and interests of vested interests of various tribes.
Although Melanis is the princess of the Evergreen Empire, she has a simple personality and does not like fighting. The upper echelons of these small tribes quickly figured out her temper and tried hard to persuade her to help intercede and retain the original system.
Looking at Melanies' haggard expression, Roland knew that she had been suffering a lot these days.
These stubborn and arrogant elves are not easy to deal with.
In the face of their demands, it is definitely not possible to refuse them rudely, they must be appeased.
Not only Melanie had a headache, but Roland also had a headache.
He was the one who invited them here, so he couldn't dislike others now.
Don't do things that are messy and give up at the end.
Faced with Melanis' helpless problem, Roland just gently stroked her back and said softly:
"Invite them to come and I will talk to them personally."
"Are you going to make concessions?"
Melanis hesitated, but still said resolutely: "Roland, although they are my tribe, there is no need for you to give in."
"I know, but after all, they are the people I brought back, and I will strive for a win-win situation with the greatest sincerity. If I really can't persuade them, I can only get together and break up."
Melanies asked softly: "Maybe it's not polite to say this, but I think you seem to have changed. You used to use any means to achieve your goals, but now you have some scruples."
Roland smiled and explained: "I haven't changed, I just changed my method."
"Now and then, I had nothing at that time, so naturally I had to do my best to make money and increase my strength. Now that I have a basic base, I have to pay attention to my fortune. If it remains like before, people with real ability may not be willing to come. ."
"To put it simply, after you get rich, it's time to establish yourself."
“After the bloody and dirty primitive accumulation, it’s time to put on formal clothes and act like a civilized person.”
He stretched out his hand to Melanith and stood up slowly, "Come on, let's put on the most beautiful dresses and meet your people."
Chapter 095: Thousands of gold buy bones, but they buy elf bones
To be fair, Roland's appearance is top-notch among the human race.
Even compared to elven men, they are different.
Although he is a little less refined and elegant, he is a little more calm and solid.
Translated into human terms, most elf men are sissies, but they don't have Roland's calm and cunning temperament.
If Roland's image and temperament are only [-]-[-] equal to that of the elf man, then Melanie is crushing him.
The simplest plain white daily dress, but it looks like a goddess in the world.
The grace and splendor of the royal family and the pure and flawless clear temperament complement each other perfectly. Just standing there is enough to crush the entire clan.
Melanith's advantage over the elf girl is infinite, basically [-] to [-].
If she hadn't deliberately put on a plain dress, she would have definitely stolen all the limelight of the entire dinner.
Even though she didn't want to be eye-catching, she was still the most dazzling star of the entire dinner.
Seeing Melanith's outstanding temperament, most of the resentment in the hearts of the upper elves of the small tribe that had been resentful had disappeared.
In the hierarchical elven community, Melanith's royal status is far above them.
But the focus of their attention was not on Melanies. They knew that the real speaker was Roland.
Although a little unhappy, the elves who have survived until now are not really pedantic to the extreme. They can accept being ruled by humans, but they just want to take the opportunity to ask for more benefits.
Silolan could see their little things clearly.
He didn't think these elves were wrong, and even somewhat agreed with their actions.
If these generals, priests, and elders do not seek the interests of the ethnic group, they are derelict in their duties.
He is more confident that a consensus can be reached tonight because there is no difference in everyone's ultimate goal.
They are all human partners of World Tree, and they are fighting over who is closer to World Tree and who can get more benefits.
The melodious music and graceful dance could not relieve everyone's frown.
Unlike Roland and Melanies who were calm and composed, the upper elves of each tribe were a little worried.
The calmer Roland was, the more flustered they became.
In front of Melanie, they could rely on their old friends and play love cards, but in front of Roland, it was all a farce.
There was no shortage of delicious food, wine, and beauties at this dinner, and the music, singing and dancing were also top-notch, but they were not satisfied with the food and had no intention of eating.
Looking at the expressions of these people, Melanis felt somewhat angry.
She had a nice talk with these uncles and aunts, but in the end they all treated her like a child and always wanted to get more favors from her.
Now, she was so talkative and stopped talking. It was Roland's turn to bargain.
She knew Roland, and it would be strange not to ruthlessly peel off their skin.
After a long ordeal, the dinner finally came to an end. Representatives from each tribe walked into the conference room uneasily, silently waiting for the arrival of "Judge" Roland.
In their anxiety, Roland and Melanie walked into the venue.
The elves' eyes drifted, not daring to look at Roland. They all knew about his deeds, and even regretted not accepting the compromise plan after Melanis's persuasion.
But they are really unwilling.
They were originally the upper echelon of the tribe and controlled all the resources. If all the tribes were integrated into a new ethnic group, where would they go?
Seeing the anxious expressions of these people, Roland understood clearly.
If given the choice, he really wanted to get rid of all these obstacles to change, but he couldn't.
If you kill a chicken to get the eggs, will the chickens dare to come?
He recalled the allusion of buying bones for a thousand gold, and these people were the horse bones he wanted to buy.
Arriving at the main seat, Roland did not sit down in a hurry, but pressed his hands down to signal others to sit down first.
His gaze slowly swept across the venue, meeting everyone.
There was no negative emotion in his eyes, just sincerity.
The highborne elves who were originally a little worried felt a little relieved when they saw his gaze.
While everyone was waiting for his opening remarks, he put his right hand on his chest and bowed to everyone.
This is the etiquette for nobles to express their gratitude.
The elves were a little panicked. What did Roland mean?
Before attending the meeting, the elites of each tribe held a small meeting privately and had plans for Roland's possible strategies.
Whether it was coercion, inducement, or disintegration, they all had plans to deal with it, but they didn't expect that Roland would bow to thank him at the beginning.
Looking at the upper elves who were looking at each other, a rich and magnetic voice sounded.
Roland read the names of every elf present.
The attentive elves suddenly discovered that the order in which Roland read his names was exactly the order in which they met Roland.
Their originally tense hearts were touched.
Not only did Roland not ignore them, he even remembered them so clearly.
They were at a loss for a while, and some of them were so shameless that they even lowered their heads.
After reading everyone's names, Roland said softly: "It is an indescribable fate that I can meet you all, and it is also an arrangement of fate."
"You are far away from home and come to my territory, so I have the obligation to take care of you. I was busy with the war and neglected you before. I hereby apologize to everyone."
Seeing him bow and apologize, the elves felt even more guilty.
Roland spoke euphemistically, as if begging them to come to Yggdrasil, but they knew in their hearts that they needed each other.
Roland needs them to provide combat power, and they need Roland to provide protection.
They are like hedgehogs hugging each other for warmth in the cold night. They may stab each other, but they cannot be separated.
Roland did not use any words or negotiation methods, and his main focus was sincerity.
He talked about the performance of the elven warriors of various tribes in the Gruul Crusade.
He did not hesitate to praise their fighting skills, nor did he shy away from scolding them for deserting from battle.
He mentioned the advantages of each tribe with appreciation, and implicitly hinted at the selfishness of each tribe.
The upper elves were shocked to find that they looked like girls bathing in a hot spring in front of Roland. Only they were covered in fog and had long been seen as transparent.
Roland analyzed to them the benefits of dispersing and reorganizing, and provided advice on the placement of these upper elves.
He smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, even ordinary tribesmen can be properly accommodated. You are stronger and more knowledgeable, so why don't you have nowhere to go?"
Looking at the shaken elves, he pointed into the void, tore apart the space, took out a crown from his private space and put it on his head.
Several old elves recognized the crown, and their expressions changed greatly.
This is the crown of Luojia, how could it be here in Roland?
Roland stood up suddenly and said loudly: "In the name of Viscount Gracia and King Luojia, I provide you with three choices."
"First, integrate into the new ethnic group, give up the old identity, and become the backbone of the new ethnic group."
"Second, join the Luojia Kingdom and become a citizen of the kingdom."
"Third, we can get together and part ways. I will personally prepare a farewell dinner for you and send you home."
"Even if cooperation cannot be negotiated, we are still friends. If you encounter trouble in the future, please be sure to come to me."
Chapter 096 The only chance in this life
The upper elves looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
They thought about many negotiation possibilities, but they didn't expect Roland to skip the negotiation directly.
Negotiations are too time-consuming, so just show your sincerity, show your cards, and lay out your options.
The main thing is to sincerely clear the way and not give way to retreat.
The poignant drama and negotiation skills prepared by the elves were put on hold, and they were stunned for a moment, at a loss.
Just when the atmosphere fell into dead silence, someone stood up.
General Yu Lin from the Feis tribe stood up, looked at Roland calmly, and asked loudly: "Before making a decision, I have a few questions. Please answer them, Lord Roland."
"Please say."
The Fes tribe is a large tribe among the small tribes. It has great strength and the best attitude towards the human race. It is obviously the leader of the tribes.
Roland's reform policy had the biggest impact on the Feisi tribe.
General Habayashi, who has borne the brunt of the wave of change (no misnomer), is qualified to ask questions on our behalf.
Although General Yulin followed Roland, he always maintained the independence of the Feis tribe and always sought the interests of the tribe.
Without convincing him, it would be impossible to convince other tribes.
