Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 189: conditions of alliance

Taboo research is just a misunderstanding?

Thorne, who was leaning on the chair, listened to the conversation between the two, and the corner of his eye wandered back and forth between Carlos and Torvi, and eventually he withdrew his eyes without finding any clues.

"The reason why this meeting was launched today is mainly to discuss the threats facing the Falls Town and how we should deal with it. Now I will tell you about the main crisis in our Falls Town." Carlos looked around and saw that everyone was silent. , continues:

"First of all, it is a large-scale gnoll tribe from the Dajianhen Mountains. The number of gnolls continues to increase as the war in the Dajianhen Mountains tightens. They are entrenched on the edge of the mountain range 15 kilometers away from the town of waterfalls. According to According to the reconnaissance information, they don't have much food, so before the cold wave comes, a fierce attack on the town of waterfalls will definitely be launched because of the shortage of food.

The second threat is the ogres of the Skull-Kicking Tribe. More than 300 ogres are only about 7 kilometers away from the town of waterfalls. These stupid guys, without the command of the leader, never consider the consequences of doing things. It may threaten the safety of the town of Falls. "

After Carlos finished speaking, he glanced at Thorne, his tone slowed down, and he said solemnly: "Although all the leaders of these two tribes were killed by Thorne, the conspiracy of their joint attack on the town of waterfalls was smashed, and the group of dragons was leaderless. , relieved the crisis for Waterfall Town, but it is a matter of time before the Gnoll tribe chooses a new leader, and we still have to face it."

"Lord Carlos, don't worry too much about the threat of ogres. The Druids of Jade Garden are already monitoring their every move, and they won't make trouble." Carlos just finished speaking, Dust Master added.

"There is nothing wrong with the gnoll tribe. Their leader election method is to kill each other. When the killing is over, the blessing ceremony of Yenogu will be performed. Then we will take this opportunity to sneak into the gnoll tribe and kill their leader again. , let them fall into chaos again." Torway glanced at Storm Lord Albert with smoke lingering all over his body, and said slowly.

"Yes, with the death of the leaders of these two tribes, the threat to us is not that big, and we can deal with it with our current strength." After listening to everyone's opinions, Carlos was not surprised, only he nodded. , with a positive look, he said in a deep voice:

"Then, let me talk about the biggest crisis we face, the Heruk Hobgoblin group in Serenity Forest, and the real reason for this meeting."

As soon as Carlos's voice fell, everyone's expressions gradually became solemn. Obviously, the pain caused by the Hobgoblin half a year ago would not be so easily healed.

"Thorn, you just fought with a hobgoblin army today, you first explain the specific information about the Hulk hobgoblins." Carlos turned his eyes to Thorne.

"Wait a minute!" Thorne was about to speak when another slightly irritable voice sounded.

Diagonally opposite Thorne, Storm Lord Albert stood up and looked at Thorne and asked, "I heard that you went to meet more than 200 orc players who fled today, but why did you return empty-handed? People?"

Hearing this, Thorne frowned slightly. Regarding the placement of the orc player, he did not tell anyone about the placement of the orc player after he returned to Waterfall Town. He noticed the suspicious eyes of everyone, including Carlos and Torvi, He chose to tell the truth:

"Everyone should know the reputation of the orcs in the northern wasteland. Placing them in the town of waterfalls will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of the half-elves in the upper city, and the stalemate between the two sides will escalate again. Do you want to see this? Did something happen?"

"The outbreak of conflict was just right, and the half-elves in the upper city were destroyed by the trend, but the place occupied by more than 100 people was wider than the place occupied by more than 1,000 people in the lower city. This makes us how to expand our strength and develop after the waterfall is in town. ?" Albert didn't care that Chris was pulling down the corner of his shirt on the table next to him, and spoke his inner thoughts directly and carelessly.

"Torway, what do you think?" Thorne leaned against the chair and didn't move. After listening to Albert's words, he turned his eyes to the opposite Torvey and asked in a very calm tone.

"Albert, you go out first." Torway frowned, waved at Albert, then took a deep breath, spit out bursts of lingering smoke, and said to everyone sincerely:

"As for the half-elves in Shangcheng, I have always insisted on my opinion. A year ago, we gathered in the maple forest in Pushang Town with our pretensions to the sky. When it is stable, it is also the half-elves in Uptown who have helped us resist countless dangers from the wilderness, so I hope you don't have any malicious thoughts about the half-elves in Uptown, it's a matter of principle."

"Seeing that Lord Torvi is so firm in his position, I express my sincere thanks to you on behalf of all the half-elves in the upper city." After listening to Torvi's words, Thorne noticed that Albert left with a cold face After the conference room, he got up and bowed slightly to Torvey.

Regardless of whether the other party's words and the expulsion of Albert are shown to him, deliberately told to him, or really sincere, Thorne doesn't care very much. Torvey can be in front of everyone. It was enough for him to say these words of assurance in front of him.

This is the convenience that strength brings to him.

Back then, when he was just a ranger, although everyone could hear what he said, it was only the support that the half-elf forces behind him brought him.

Today, the Shangcheng District and the Xiacheng District are at a stalemate, and the player's strength is gradually improving. If the problem has not been effectively solved, there will be people who will one day covet the land in the Shangcheng District.

And after he disappeared for half a year, when he came back, he used his own strength to defeat the most powerful Storm Lord Albert in Waterfall Town, which directly caused no one to ignore his words. After all, this is a strong A world that is respected.

"There's nothing to thank, it's what we should do, don't you think? Lord Carlos." Noticing Thorne's sincere gratitude, Torvi smiled and said meaningfully to Carlos.

"Of course." Carlos nodded calmly without denying it, then looked at Thorne, sighed heavily, and said with a slightly helpless smile:

"Brother Thorne, don't you know? The number of players is the most precious resource for us in the town of Waterfalls. You have privately placed more than 200 orc players. It's really inappropriate to do this, so The important thing, in fact, you should discuss with us, although the half-elf leader is very stubborn, but it is not completely without a way to persuade, so you can think of a way to see if you can call them back."

After listening to Carlos's remarks, everyone nodded in approval.

Since the business road in Pushang Town was opened, many war-weary players left Pushang Town and chose to go to the safe area of ​​Sept City to spend the rest of their lives, which led to a sharp decline in the defensive strength of Pushang Town.

If there are no good countermeasures to attract people to Waterfall Town, then the vitality of Waterfall Town will become less and less in the impact of the wilderness, until it is completely worn out, which is what everyone does not want to see.

"They were rescued by me risking my life in the arena of Winter City, I have the final decision, no one has the right to interfere, things have already happened, I explained it just now, I don't want to talk about this issue There is too much entanglement, I hope you can understand." Thorne looked at Carlos and calmly rejected Carlos' suggestion.

Originally, he rescued these orcs and directed them to the waterfall town was an ill-considered and impulsive decision. With the current situation of the waterfall town, it was not suitable for the life of the orcs at all. Light Town.

The so-called negotiation method in Carlos' mouth is nothing more than to guide him on how to persuade the stubborn half-elf leader. In the end, he has to do these troublesome troubles alone. He doesn't want to be plagued by these troublesome things all day long. .

"You are very selfish. The addition of more than 200 orcs will greatly strengthen the defensive power of Waterfallshang Town. We are all working hard to protect Waterfallshang Town. Your approach is indeed a bit too capricious." The trickster Chris, who was diagonally opposite to En, frowned and retorted.

"Thorn, you said that you don't agree with the orcs to settle in the town of Falls, because you are worried about the conflict between the upper city and the lower city. I can understand your difficulty, but you have placed these orcs in the town of Horn, which makes me incomprehensible. Now, don't you still understand the conflict between the town of Falls and Horn? You are not equal to enhancing the strength of the enemy." Yas sitting next to Thorne also looked a little displeased, obviously at Thorne's arbitrary decision Very disagree.

"Twilight Town is too far away, only Horn Town is the most suitable, and don't you see the sincerity of Horn Town? There is still some truth to what the goblin wizard said, we are all from the same place, why can't we live in harmony? How about getting along? Besides, the hijacking of supplies was the ogre wizard's arbitrary decision, and it has little relationship with other people." Noticing the dissatisfied eyes of everyone, Thorne finished speaking to Yas.

After a moment of contemplation, he continued: "In the face of the threat of Hobgoblin, we really need the help of Horn Town, so I still suggest that you agree to meet with the people of Horn Town once."

After listening to Thorne's words, Torvey sighed slightly, nodded and looked at Carlos and said, "Actually, Thorne is right, in the current situation, if the two sides don't blame the past, Horn Town can indeed become a reliable Allies, at least on the issue of hobgoblins is a good choice, after all, it is still too difficult to resist hobgoblins with our strength."

"According to the observations of the Druid Order, we found that these Heruk Hobgoblins who were entrenched in the Serenity Forest were worried about the sudden arrival of the cold wave and had no intention of rushing to expand their forces." Druid Qingchen thought for a while. , and also persuaded Carlos:

"So I suggest that you take advantage of this time to respond as soon as possible. There is nothing wrong with forming an alliance with Clarion Town. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. With the current strength of Waterfall Town, wait for the spring of next year to face the The Hobgoblin's attack can't be resisted at all."

"Master Qingchen, with all due respect, the army of the Heruk Hobgoblin appeared in the Forest of Tranquility, and the destruction of the forest must be unimaginable, so I am curious, why are you extreme druids of the Emerald Garden at this time? Don't cast the wrath of nature that they talk about every day." The trickster Chris looked at Druid Qingchen and expressed his doubts.

"The hobgoblins from half a year ago have the same purpose as the current Heruk hobgoblins, and plan to establish a camp in the Forest of Tranquility. The only difference is that in order to prevent the forest from being over-cut, the hobgoblins from half a year ago have just entered the Forest of Tranquility. , and was kicked out by the Druid Order. These hobgoblins without a foothold eventually caused the tragedy of Pushang Town. Therefore, in the Jade Garden, some people did not recommend expelling the Hulk Hobgoblin in order to protect Pushang Town. ." Druid Qingchen explained the reason to everyone in a leisurely manner.

"Is that Bishop Lausian of the Temple of Melika?" Thorne asked with a change of expression when he heard the words. He hadn't been to the Temple of Melika for a long time, and it was time to go back and have a look.

"That's right." Druid Qingchen nodded slightly to Thorne, then looked at Carlos: "You still have to consider this matter carefully."

"My heart is very clear, you don't need to persuade you any more. In fact, I have already guessed why the goblin wizard in Horn Town is so obsessed with forming an alliance, so I can agree to the alliance, but I have one condition." Carlos was silent. After a long time, he took a deep breath, calmed down his ups and downs, and said with a dignified expression:

"The people in Horn Town are not saying that the hijacking of supplies is the unauthorized action of the ogre wizards. In order to express their sincerity, I need them to send the heads of the ogre wizards and 200 ogre corpses to the city gate of Waterfall Town. Then I will ask for another compensation, otherwise, I will never agree, and if the town on the waterfall really can’t be defended, I will take my people to take refuge in Twilight Town.”

"No problem." Thorne nodded in agreement.

The ogre wizard hijacked the supplies and killed the people who escorted the supplies, which hurt Carlos the most. Carlos had already made such concessions, and he no longer insisted on anything.

"Since Thorne has agreed, then I naturally have no opinion." Torvey looked at Carlos, and then at Thorne, who looked calm on the opposite side. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, my task has been completed, you can continue to discuss." Seeing that everyone had no objection, Thorne got up and said directly.

According to Druid Qingchen, the Hulk Hobgoblin will not launch an invasion this year, and Waterfall Town relentlessly agreed to contact Horn Town, so he has nothing to do here, and the next meeting is nothing more than everyone reporting The development of various industries, as well as discussions on how to improve economic construction, etc., he is completely uninterested in these.

"Thorn, wait a moment, I have something to tell you." Torway stopped Thorne's figure who was about to leave. Seeing Thorne looking at him suspiciously, he said slowly:

"Although I firmly oppose that people in the lower city should not have malicious thoughts on the half-elves in the upper city, the power of our players is always going to develop. The lower city is just a little bigger. It's easy to say now, but what about in the future? If If you really care about us guys, just figure out a way to make some space uptown."

"Leader Torvi is right." A pure-blood elf player dressed as a businessman answered, and persuaded Thorne earnestly: "When the problem of the Heruk Hobgoblin is solved, we will start planning from other places. Buy slaves and expand the strength of Waterfall Town. The size of a territory often determines its strength.

If we want Pushang Town to stand on the emerald field, the half-elves in the upper city are indeed hindering our progress. There is so much empty land in the upper city, even if it is all reclaimed into fields or planted with fruit trees, it is enough for the whole town. It is a waste of a year's ration to let weeds and wild trees grow there. "

"I'll consider this matter as appropriate." Thorne pondered for a moment, then gave an ambiguous answer.
