"Food and shelter, such good conditions?
What do you need from us?
”It's a deal, and Rusha isn't stupid.Since humans are willing to provide these things, the price they will have to pay should be high."
It's simple."
Owen smiled, and the other party did not immediately refuse, which means that there is a play."
You send a certain number of lizard warriors over and fight against the undead monsters on the northern wall with our soldiers.""
Undead monsters?"
Rusha hesitated for a moment, but quickly remembered.Remember that his father, the former patriarch, had told a piece of history.There was a time when every winter a group of monsters that should have died would invade the Mystery Forest from the west.At that time, in order to deal with these undead monsters, all the subhuman races had united to form a mutual aid alliance and unite with the outside world.It was the period when all the subhuman races in the Mystery Forest were most united.Later, humans built a wall to the north to keep the undead out.Due to the loss of a common external enemy, various contradictions soon arose within the alliance, and finally a major conflict broke out.The subhuman races have reverted to their former antagonism.Since humans want the lizardmen to help defend the walls, does it mean that they are now powerless to resist the undead?
Thinking of this, Rusha sneered: "Hmph, I didn't expect that you humans also have times when they ask for help from our subhumans. ”"It's not a plea for help, it's a deal.In fact, even without you, I would have been able to defend the northern wall, but it would have been a little harder. ”Owen corrected.After a pause, he added: "In addition, don't be complacent, if we can't hold it, the next thing to suffer is you who stay on the periphery of the Mystery Forest, don't think that those undead monsters will let you go." ”The human lord was right, now was indeed not the time to taunt them.In the matter of fighting undead monsters, it is good for both sides.Therefore, it is a good idea to send lizard warriors to help humans.Moreover, they promised to provide food and shelter, so that the group could survive this winter safely.With so many benefits to the clan, Lu Sha was suddenly a little nervous, and he couldn't wait to agree to Owen's deal immediately."
Patriarch!"
At this moment, a lizardman behind Rusha stepped forward and grabbed him by the shoulder, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "The words of humans cannot be trusted. ”Glancing back at his companion, Rusha was very entangled in his heart."
But, my friend Kman, they are willing to provide what we need at the moment.If you refuse, this winter will be very difficult, and many companions may die. ”"I know."
Keman said in a deep voice.The deal proposed by the human was suspicious, and he spoke out the worst he could think of."
Don't forget, Patriarch, that humans are the best at deceiving others with rhetoric.Once a companion is sent to help, humanity may allow our companions to rush to the forefront like cannon fodder.When we lose what little strength we have left, they will be able to wipe out entire tribes without much effort. ”I don't know if Kerman has been deceived, but in short, he is very distrustful of humans.And what Kerman said was also something that Rusha didn't want to see.This made him hesitate.Thinking about it, Rusha planned to go back and convene a tribal meeting to listen to everyone's opinions before making a decision.So, he turned his head to look at Owen and said, "Lord Eisen, I can't reply to you right now about the deal you said, give me some time to think about it. ”"No problem."
Nor did Owen expect an immediate reply.The two sides had not been in contact before this, and it was normal to have some suspicions."
There's still some time left until winter, so you can think about it.If you have a reply in mind, send someone over and talk to our people, and I'll send someone to stand guard around here. ”Waiting for a reply is one thing, but more important is monitoring the lizardmen's movements.As soon as there is any movement, report it to Owen immediately."
Then that's all for this meeting, I'll go back first."
After saying that, Lu Sha turned around directly, preparing to return to the Mystery Forest with a few of his subordinates."
Wait a minute."
Owen called out to him.Stopping, Rusha turned around and asked, "What else is going on?"
”"You've got wounded over there, aren't they?
Out of humanitarianism, I'll send someone to bring some herbs later, and I hope you can accept them. ”What is humanitarianism?
However, since the herbs that humans kindly gifted, then accept them.Of course, after taking things back, you have to identify them with people who know herbal medicine, just in case."
Thank you then."
After thanking him, Rusha took his men and left, leaving a few of his clansmen to stay here.Owen also returned with the escort.On the way back, Marpel asked, "Lord Owen, will the lizardmen really say yes?"
I think they don't trust us a lot. ”"I don't know, there is no basis for mutual trust between the two sides now, and it may take an opportunity.""
Opportunity?"
Mapel tilted her head, her face full of confusion.If you can trust, you can trust, just like you trust Lord Owen, what other opportunities do you need?
[I think it's very likely that the other party will agree. 】Winster guessed.
[Why do you say that?]
】Owen asked.
[The patriarch named Lusha is very concerned about the situation of the tribe.For the sake of the clan's survival, he will most likely put forward some additional conditions before agreeing to your deal. 】"I hope so.] 】Back on the territory of the frontier town, Owen immediately issued various orders, including how many people to leave to garrison the place, send people to fetch some herbs and send them over, etc.…… Time flickered, and three days passed.Since the meeting between the supreme leaders of the two sides, there has been no contact except for one contact with the herbs, but they are monitoring each other's actions.The periphery of the Mystery Forest.Near the temporary settlement of the Sunken Sand tribe, the patriarch Rusha was sitting on a boulder, with a giant axe next to it, and from time to time he let out a sigh.It is only when there is no one around that he will show helplessness and hesitation.In front of his clansmen, he has always been a strong man who is brave and good at fighting, and he is very strong and decisive in everything he does.But in this situation, it is difficult for him to show what his clan expects.The tribal council had been held, and Rusha had given everyone a detailed account of the current situation of the race and about humanity.Unexpectedly, whether or not to agree to the human deal, the clansmen had two diametrically opposed views, and the two sides almost started a fight.Now was not the time for infighting, and Rusha dismissed the meeting in time.But in private, there will still be disputes among the clansmen."
Oh, sigh, this is not like you, our patriarch."
It was Keman, who had dissuaded Rusha three days earlier, who had spoken, and he came over with his back against the boulder."
Keman, you say, am I not fit to be the patriarch of the Sunken Sand Clan?"
Hearing this, Keman turned his head sharply and glared at Rusha angrily."
Rusha!
You are the strongest of our Sunken Sand tribe, and if you are not suitable to be the patriarch, no one will be able to be you. ”
