Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 189 Conditions of alliance

Taboo study just a misunderstanding?
Thorn, who was leaning on the chair, listened to the conversation between the two, wandering back and forth from the corner of his eyes on Carlos and Tolvi, and finally looked away without finding any clues.

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

"First of all, there is a large tribe of wolf men from the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range. The number of Wolf Man has continued to increase as the battle in the Great Sword Mark Mountain Range has intensified. They are entrenched on the edge of the mountain range 15 kilometers away from Pushang Town. According to According to the intelligence of the reconnaissance, they didn't have much food, so before the cold wave came, they would definitely launch a fierce attack on the town of Falls due to the shortage of food.

The second threat is the ogres of the Kicking Skull Tribe. More than 300 ogres are only about 7 kilometers away from the town of Pushang. Possibly a threat to the safety of Upper Falls. "

After Carlos finished speaking, he glanced at Thorne, his tone slowed down, and said solemnly: "Although the leaders of these two tribes were all killed by Thorne, their conspiracy to jointly attack the town of Pushang was crushed, resulting in no leader. , relieved the crisis for Pushang Town, but it will be a matter of time before the wolf man tribe chooses a new leader, and we still have to face it."

"Lord Carlos, don't worry too much about the threat of the ogre. The druids in the Emerald Garden are already monitoring their every move, and they won't make trouble." Carlos had just finished speaking, Master Qingchen added.

"There is nothing wrong with the Wolf Man tribe. Their leader selection method is to kill each other. After the battle is over, Yeenogu's blessing ceremony will be carried out. At that time, we will take this opportunity to sneak into the Wolf man tribe and kill their leader again. Just let them fall into chaos again." Torvi glanced at the storm lord Albert with the smoke around him, and said slowly.

"That's right. With the death of the leader, these two tribes are no longer a big threat to us. With our current strength, we can completely deal with it." Carlos was not surprised after listening to everyone's opinions. He nodded , with a serious expression, said in a deep voice:
"Then, let me talk about the biggest crisis we are facing, the Hruk hobgoblin group in the Forest of Tranquility, which is also the real reason for starting this meeting."

As soon as Carlos finished speaking, everyone's expressions gradually became serious. Obviously, no one would heal the pain caused by the hobgoblin half a year ago so easily.

"Thorn, you just fought against an army of hobgoblins today, so please explain to everyone the specific information about the hobgoblins of Hruk." Carlos shifted his gaze to Thorne.

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

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

Thorne frowned slightly when he heard the words. He didn't tell anyone about the placement of orc players after he returned to Fallstown. He noticed the puzzled eyes of everyone, including Carlos and Torvi, He chose to say truthfully:

"Everyone should be familiar with the reputation of orcs in the wilderness of the Northland. Putting them in the town of Falls will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the half-elves in the upper city. At that time, the original stalemate relationship between the two sides will escalate again. Don't you want to see this? Does that happen?"

"The conflict broke out just in time, and the half-elves in the upper city were wiped out, but the space occupied by more than 100 people was wider than that occupied by more than 1000 people in the lower city. How can we expand our strength and develop in the town after Pushang Town?" Albert didn't care about Chris pulling down the corner of his clothes on the table, and directly expressed his inner thoughts carelessly.

"Torvi, what do you think?" Thorn leaned back on the chair without moving. After listening to Albert's words, he shifted his gaze to Torvi on the opposite side, and asked in a very calm tone.

"Albert, you go out first." Torvi frowned, waved to Albert, then took a deep breath, exhaled waves of lingering smoke, and said sincerely to everyone:
"For the half-elves in Uptown, I have always insisted on my opinion. A year ago, we gathered in the maple forest in the town of Falls, and it was the leader of the half-elves who kindly took us in to establish a settlement here. At the time of stability, the half-elves in the upper city helped us resist countless dangers from the wilderness, so I hope you will no longer have any malicious thoughts about the half-elves in the upper city, this is a matter of principle."

"Seeing that Lord Torvi is so firm in his position, on behalf of all the half-elves in the upper city, I would like to express my sincere thanks to you." 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 Torvi and saluted.

Regardless of whether the other party's words and the expulsion of Albert were just for him to see, deliberately told him, or really sincere words, Thorne didn't care much, Torvi could be in front of everyone It was enough for him to speak these words of assurance in his face.

This is the convenience that strength brings to him.

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

Today, the upper city and the lower city are in a stalemate, and the strength of the players is gradually improving. If the problem cannot be effectively resolved, there will be someone who will covet the land in the upper city one day.

Moreover, half a year after he disappeared, when he returned, he relied on his own strength to defeat Albert, the most powerful storm lord in Fallstown. This directly led to no one daring not to pay attention to his words. The world of respect.

"There's nothing to thank, it's what we should do, don't you think so? Lord Carlos." Noticing Thorne's sincere thanks, Torvi looked at Carlos with a smile and said meaningfully.

"Of course." Carlos nodded calmly without denying it, then looked at Thorn, 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 Waterfall Town. It's really inappropriate for you to arrange more than 200 orc players without permission. The important thing, you should actually discuss it with us, although the half-elf leader is very stubborn, but it is not completely impossible to persuade, so you should think of a way to see if you can call them back."

After listening to Carlos' narration, everyone nodded in approval.

Since the business route in Pushang Town was opened, many war-weary players left Pushang Town and chose to spend the rest of their lives in the safe area of ​​Seput City, which caused the defensive strength of Pushang Town to drop sharply.

If there is no good countermeasure to attract people to Pushang Town, then the vitality of Pushang Town will be under the impact of the wilderness, and the number of people will become smaller and smaller until it is wiped out. This is what no one wants to see.

"I risked my life to rescue them in the arena of Winter City. I have the final decision. No one has the right to interfere. Everything has already happened. I explained it just now. I don't want to talk about this issue." I hope you can understand." Thorne looked at Carlos and calmly rejected Carlos's suggestion.

Originally, it was an ill-considered and impulsive decision for him to save this group of orcs and lead them to Pushang Town. Given the current situation of Pushang Town, it is not suitable for the life of orcs at all. light town.

The so-called way to discuss together in Carlos's mouth is nothing more than guiding him how to persuade the stubborn half-elf leader. After all, he has to do these troublesome troublesome things alone, and he doesn't want to be entangled in these bad things all day long. .

"You are very selfish. The addition of more than 200 orcs will greatly strengthen the defense of Fallstown. We are all working hard to protect Fallstown. Your approach is indeed a bit too capricious." Thorne The trickster Chris, diagonally opposite, frowned and retorted.

"Thorn, you said that you disagreed with the orcs settling in Upper Falls because you were worried about the outbreak of conflict between the upper and lower towns. I can understand your difficulty, but you put these orcs in Horn Town, which makes me unable to understand. Now, don’t you still understand the conflict between Fallstown and Bugle Town? You’re not equating to strengthening the enemy’s strength in disguise.” Yas, who was sitting next to Thorne, also looked a little displeased, apparently for Thorne’s arbitrary decision Very disagree.

"Twilight Town is too far away, only Horn Town is the most suitable, and haven't you seen the sincerity of Horn Town? What the goblin wizard said makes sense, we are all from the same place, why can't we be harmonious How about getting along with each other? Besides, the hijacking of supplies was an unauthorized decision of the ogre wizard, and it doesn't have much relationship with other people." Noticing the dissatisfied eyes of everyone, Thorn finished speaking to Yas.

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "Facing the threat of hobgoblins, we really need the help of Horn Town, so I still suggest that you agree to meet with the people of Horn Town."

After listening to Thorne's words, Torvi sighed slightly, nodded and looked at Carlos and said, "Actually, what Thorne said is correct. With the current situation, if the two sides don't blame the past, Horn Town can indeed become a reliable place. Allies, at least on the issue of hobgoblins are 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 Hruk hobgoblins who are entrenched in the Forest of Tranquility are not eager to expand their power because they are worried about the sudden cold wave." Druid Qingchen thought for a while , also persuaded Carlos:

"So I suggest that you take advantage of this time to prepare for it as soon as possible. There is nothing wrong with forming an alliance with Horn Town. There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. With the current strength of Waterfall Town, wait until the beginning of next year. The hobgoblin's attack is simply irresistible."

"Master Qingchen, with all due respect, the army of the hobgoblins of Hruk appearing in the Forest of Tranquility must be unimaginable for the destruction of the forest, so I am very curious, why do you extreme druids of the Emerald Garden come here at this time? Don't cast the wrath of nature they talk about every day." The trickster Chris looked at the druid Qingchen and expressed his inner doubts.

"The hobgoblins half a year ago have the same purpose as the hobgoblins of Hruk now. They intend to build a camp in the Forest of Tranquility. The only difference is that the group of hobgoblins from half a year ago just entered the Forest of Tranquility to prevent the forest from being over-cut. , was kicked out by the druid order, and these hobgoblins who had no foothold eventually caused the tragedy in Fallshang Town. Therefore, in the Emerald Garden, in order to protect Fallshang Town, some people did not suggest expulsion of the Hobgoblin Hruk .” Druid Qingchen explained the reason to everyone unhurriedly.

"Is it the Bishop Rausian of the Temple of Melikail?" Thorne asked with a frown upon hearing this. He hadn't been to the Temple of Melikail 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 think carefully about this matter."

"I know very well in my heart that you don't need to persuade me anymore. In fact, I have already guessed why the goblin witches in Horn Town are so obsessed with forming an alliance. Therefore, I can agree to forming an 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 an act of the ogre wizard without authorization. In order to express their sincerity, I need them to send the head of the ogre wizard and two hundred ogre corpses to the gate of the town of Falls. Before, and then I want another compensation, otherwise, I will never agree, if Waterfall Town really can't keep it, I will take my people to seek refuge in Twilight Town."

"No problem." Thorne nodded directly in agreement.

The ogre wizard hijacked the supplies and killed the escorts, which hurt Carlos the most. Carlos had already made such a concession, and he no longer insisted on anything.

"Since Thorn has agreed, then I naturally have no objections." Torvi looked at Carlos, then at Thorne who was calm on the opposite side, heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, my task has been completed, you guys continue to discuss." Seeing that there were no objections from the crowd, Thorne got up and said directly.

According to Druid Qingchen, the hobgoblin Heruk will not launch an invasion this year, and the town of Waterfall has agreed to contact Bugle Town, so he has nothing to do here, and the next meeting is nothing more than a report from everyone He is not interested in the development of various industries and discussions on how to improve economic construction.

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

"Although I firmly oppose that people in the lower city should not have malicious thoughts against the half-elves in the upper city, the power of our players will always be developed. The lower city is just a little bigger, so it's okay to say now, but what about in the future? If you really care about us guys, figure out a way to make room in Uptown."

"The leader of Torvi is right." A pure-blooded elf player dressed as a businessman answered the conversation, and persuaded Thorne earnestly: "When the problem of the hobgoblin of Hruk is resolved, we will start to plan to start from other places. Buy slaves to expand the strength of Pushang Town. The size of a territory often determines the strength of 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. Even if all the open land in the upper city is reclaimed into fields or planted with fruit trees, it is enough for the whole town It is too wasteful to put a person's one-year rations there and let weeds and wild trees grow. "

"I will consider this matter at my discretion." Thorn pondered for a moment, and gave an ambiguous answer.
