Great Nobleman

At noon, the negotiations were adjourned and both sides went back to rest and eat.

Finn joked:

“The atmosphere of the negotiations this morning was really intense and tense.

By the second half, I didn’t even dare to let go of the weapon.”

"By the way, did you notice? During the negotiations this morning, the orcs cast their eyes at Lord Brand more than once.

I see that although their outward attitudes haven't changed, they are certainly not so calm inside.

From this point of view, I wonder if their attitude will change after the relevant news is passed back to the Orc Empire."

Hearing this, Finn pondered:

“There may be changes, but our preparations will be basically ready this week.

The follow-up actions should really start, right? "

At the end, Finn turned his gaze to Brand, who was enjoying lunch being served by Katherine.

Seeing this, Brand shook his head and said:

“Although we are almost ready, we won’t act immediately after we are in place.

We always have to find an appropriate time and a suitable reason. All ethnic groups on the mainland are now paying attention to what is happening here.

In addition, there have been some new changes in the Orc Empire in the past two days, and we are still paying attention and following up."

Having said that, he paused and took a sip of hot soup.

Brand continued to think:

“Based on the intelligence I have, I think we still have at least half a month.

If there is still no progress by then, that’s when the real action begins.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Next, after lunch.

Brand and others did not participate in the afternoon negotiations.

——It’s enough to show up and express your attitude. Brand doesn’t have so much leisure to continue listening to the quarrel between the two parties.

After returning to the camp and sending away the outsiders.

Brand asked Rias:

"How is it? Did you find anything this morning?"

Hearing this, Rias nodded and said:

“This morning while the negotiations were going on.

I specially sent out a team of scouts to operate independently in the surrounding area under the banner of our Kaya Empire.

As expected, when no one else was paying attention, the orcs from the White Horn Tribe made brief contact with them.

They hope that our Kaya Empire will be able to send enough important people to have a private and secret face-to-face meeting with them.

The location is a forest in the northwest, and the time is midnight today."

Brand nodded and said:

"Then let's talk to them. After all, the news came from our friends in the Barbarian Hoof Tribe, so it's quite credible."

Rias asked:

"As for the specific people we contacted..."

Before he finished speaking, Brand waved his hand and said:

"I'll have Knight Golem take a projection device over there. Who knows if they've set a trap at the meeting place."

Hearing this, Rias thought the same thing.

So, at midnight that day, in a forest in the northwest.

When a group of orcs wearing special leather cloaks that concealed their bodies and breath came here and waited.

Then a figure of ordinary human size, wearing a black cloak and a turban came here alone and stood opposite them.

Then, the orcs exchanged glances.

Then one of them took off the big hood on his head, revealing a bull head, and then walked forward with a gentle face and spoke in human language:

"I'm sorry, we didn't expect you to come alone. May I ask who you are?"

At this moment, inside the camp of the Kaya Empire.

Looking at the perspective of the empty screen in front of him, he saw the distinctive 'white horns' on the minotaur's head.

Under Brand's control, the knight golem, wearing a black cloak with breath-isolating effect, took out a small projection device from his body and placed it on the ground.

At the same time, Brand's voice came from the head of the Knight Golem:

"I am Brand Holland, the supreme leader of the Human Alliance Kaya Empire's support team for the Minos Kingdom, the owner of the library, and the imperial marquis."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At the end, the projection device started to work quickly.

A real-time image of Brand, constructed with magic and elements, appeared in front of the orcs.

At this time, Brand also continued:

“Although not in person.

But I can guarantee it with the reputation of the North Holland family and the honor of our Kaya Empire:

As long as you are sincere, the content of our secret conversation will be a top secret of our Kaya Empire and will not be leaked to any outsiders."

Listening to Brand's words and looking at Brand's image.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, another burly but somewhat old minotaur took off his hood.

He stepped forward and said:

“Although we [the White Horn Tribe] have fought more than one war with the Human Alliance, our relationship is not friendly.

But facing invaders from other continents, I think our stance is the same.

In addition, we [White Horn Tribe] also have no favorable impressions on certain entities that secretly maintain close ties with invaders from other continents."

Having said this, at his gesture, the other orcs immediately dispersed to the nearby area to stand guard.

Seeing this, Brand asked:

"I wonder who you are?"

The Minotaur introduced himself:

"Your Excellency Brand, the current elder of the White Horn Tribe, just call me Grank."

After hearing this, I don't know whether the identity of this "elder" is true or false.

Brand also nodded and said:

“Hello, Elder Grank, it’s a pleasure to meet you.

I think in view of the complicated situation of the Orc Empire at this time, maybe we can have some far-reaching communication and work together to push the situation on the continent to a more optimistic one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the minotaur named Grank nodded without any hesitation and said:

"I suppose so."

Next, I had a conversation with the minotaur in front of me and had a preliminary exchange of opinions and ideas with each other.

The purpose of the White Horn Tribe's contact with them was also clearly laid out before Brand, as well as Sonia and Jonas, who were watching the entire conversation remotely:

The other party does not want to be affected by possible subsequent military operations of the Human Alliance.

To this end, they can provide them with certain conveniences within their capabilities.

It would be fine if the one contacting them was another orc tribe.

But the White Horn Tribe is currently responsible for the defense of the northern border of the Orc Empire.

This is something to think about.
