Steel torrents pioneering a different world.

Chapter 320 Elves: We are willing to send half a million elves as unspeakable slaves! (Please subscribe)

In the modern world, inside an office.

While signing the motion comic proposal that was about to be implemented, Lin Li used his ability to multitask to observe the situation in the other world.

Seeing so many special forces soldiers using the warrior serum to enhance their bodies, he immediately asked himself, "Laplace's Demon, if I used the serum, how much would my body be enhanced?"

Remember our website domain name for a great experience: ??????????????????n????.c????o????m???? Super reliable.

Meow~

[Almost impossible to enhance]

Hearing the cat demon's suggestion, Lin Li was speechless: "You're such a stingy person. You told me that there were no major side effects after the warrior's potion injection, so why couldn't you tell me the formula?"

Meow~

【100% Quality, No Bargaining】

"Ugh, chatting with you, you make me so angry after just three sentences!"

Meow~

Lin Li ignored the cat demon who was grooming itself again, and instead looked at the human warrior who had used the warrior's potion.

Only after confirming that many people had passed the most dangerous moment did I feel relieved.

Then, Lin Li turned his attention to the science and technology research institute.

As the saying goes, collisions generate heat, collisions generate electricity, and collisions make people full of passion!

The collision of different civilizations and development philosophies can spark a surge of inspiration.

The war between the two worlds is the most powerful catalyst for technological progress.

During this period, the pioneering team absorbed knowledge from other civilizations, greatly enhancing their own civilization's foundation.

In the past few days, thanks to the Easter eggs left by Lin Li and the all-out efforts of top human scientists to decipher them, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in various technologies.

Take the C-standard automated construction template as an example. Human scientists have reverse-engineered several high-performance alloys just from the outer shell. Combined with previous captures, they have begun to study the material formula.

Some long-standing problems in 3D composite metal printing have also been solved thanks to discoveries made in C templates.

Even in the field of nanorobotics, unexpected progress has been made in human technology.

However, the biggest surprise came from the energy core left behind by the dwarves.

"Besides the nuclear fusion engine, we've also discovered an antimatter engine!"

Lin Li was truly stunned when he heard all sorts of vocabulary from the exchanges and reports of some elderly professors with white hair.

It's hard to imagine just how powerful the dwarven civilization, now reduced to mere muscles, brute force, runes, and three-eyed muskets, was in its heyday before it descended from the stars.

Unfortunately, due to frequent wars between civilizations, their knowledge was lost, their technology was interrupted, and their habitat was greatly reduced.

To this day, they can't even disassemble and repair the C template left by their ancestors from their golden age.

It's like holding a golden bowl and begging for food.

Lin Li shook his head, no longer thinking about the decline of the dwarf civilization.

It's good that the dwarf civilization has been downgraded!

How can we provide technological sustenance for humanity without downgrading?

The development of civilizations on Earth has only a few approaches, and they all rely on sheer size.

The other world has a wide variety of technological development ideas. Even if we exclude rune technology, humans can still learn from it and conduct research to absorb and digest it!

Lin Li and the human pioneering team are essentially complementary.

Lin Li needs a large amount of spacetime source matter. The more spacetime source matter there is, the stronger Lin Li will become. He may even be able to obtain abilities comparable to those of a god.

To achieve this, in addition to being strong themselves, the pioneering team also needs to be strong.

The stronger the pioneering team, the more spacetime essence he can obtain.

Just like now, when the Time Cube opens, it continuously provides benefits to him and Laplace's Demon.

A stable daily income of nearly five points of spacetime source matter!

This immense wealth has put Lin Li in a great mood lately, and he's been appearing in public much more frequently.

It is important to know that spacetime source matter is almost omnipotent.

Strengthening oneself is just a basic operation; it can also serve as fuel for time travel, and in enough cases, it can even allow him to ignore certain time-space seals and travel freely.

Previously, carrying a magical creature like the Little Dragon consumed less than 0.1% of its power.

If he were to carry humans, a single point of spacetime essence would be enough for him to lead a full squad of fifty people on a long-distance spacetime teleportation.

Of course, the consumption is also high.

The first two operations nearly depleted 90% of his savings.

Those who remain either continue to strengthen themselves or stay behind to deal with emergencies.

Previously, Lin Li had used various cryptic pretexts to impart key knowledge points to humanity.

For example, after conquering the dwarven fortress last time, he obtained some key dwarven technologies through Laplace's demon and secretly placed them in the dwarven treasury.

Those things have now been captured by human pioneering teams and are being rapidly digested and absorbed.

It is estimated that in less than a month, humanity will be able to achieve more systematic breakthroughs in some areas of runes!

Unfortunately, Lin Li was very poor.

Otherwise, Lin Li would just give humanity the entire technology.

Although the dwarves have declined, their systematic rune technology, alchemy and magical biological potions, magical steel forging techniques, magical energy shields, magical plant cultivation techniques, and even techniques for cultivating land and sea in other worlds, can all help humanity quickly understand, absorb, and digest these technologies.

However, the amount of spacetime source matter consumed is astronomical.

However, the poor have their own way of doing things.

"Laplace's Demon, list the three most critical technological bottlenecks that humanity is currently facing in antimatter engine research."

Meow~

[Antimatter stable confinement field model, energy-directed output matrix, and calculation of annihilation reaction safety threshold.]

"Very good. If I want to obtain these technologies, how much spacetime source matter would I need?"

Meow~

[Ten Thousand Points of Spacetime Source Essence]

Lin Li's lips twitched: "Then list out your technological development strategy!"

Meow~

[Five Thousand Points of Spacetime Source Matter]

Why is it so expensive?

Meow~

Sometimes, a scientific approach to development is the shortcut to success, just like in the Zhongnan Mountains.

"Damn! How much spacetime source matter would it take to shut down the antimatter engine in the C template and ensure its safety?"

Meow~

[250 points of spacetime source matter]

"You're the one who's an idiot!"

"Forget it, humanity hasn't even figured out controlled nuclear fusion yet, let's take it one step at a time!" Lin Li directly abandoned the work of deciphering the antimatter engine and temporarily gave up the pioneer team's civilization development plan.

The pioneering team is getting stronger every day.

He doesn't need to take on everything; he just needs to give a gentle push at the most crucial junctures.

Don't assume that the rapid advancements in technology described in novels, achieved through collective intelligence and unified scheduling, are simply a matter of speed.

While technology has no limits, humanity as we know it does.

Modern engineering is far too vast and complex. The era of working alone is over. Even with specialized AI-assisted tools, humans still need to expend enormous resources on analysis.

This is especially true for pioneering teams when facing a completely unfamiliar technical system.

A top-notch mind, or a correct direction, can save countless hours and resources.

Lin Li continues to observe the researchers' work from a high-latitude perspective.

"Wow, another improvement! That's impressive!"

He smiled as he saw the researchers cheering over a new discovery.

"At this rate, the pioneering team's equipment will probably need a major technological upgrade in less than six months!"

"Due to a technological gap, some of the dwarves' weapon systems have also become obsolete. If humans absorb and assimilate these advancements, the damage could erupt once again."

Just as he was feeling smug about his brilliant decision, the black cat lazily yawned.

Meow~

[Friendly reminder: The Time-Space Cube has been running for 10 days and is expected to require a routine charging maintenance in 72 hours. The maintenance cost is 10 Source Essence. Please refrain from intercepting Time-Space Source Essence in the near future to avoid affecting the operation of the Time-Space Cube.]

The smile on Lin Li's face froze instantly.

Another world, a time portal base, more than ten hours later, at the training ground.

Zhao, with a smile on his face, is resting by the training field.

He stroked his brand-new power armor, his smile radiant.

Equipment is a warrior's second life, and his expression shows how much he values ​​his equipment.

The power armor was not running at full power; the adaptation test that took place more than ten hours earlier had already been stopped.

Ahead, soldiers are conducting a series of research tests.

Steel bars that were previously impossible for humans to bend are now being bent back and forth by the soldiers.

Some soldiers ran and jumped, easily reaching two or three meters high during their running start.

Some soldiers ran across the parade ground like the wind, maintaining a steady speed of over forty kilometers per hour, occasionally accelerating. Yet, they expended very little physical energy.

Some soldiers lay prone on the ground, crawling rapidly on all fours.

The soldiers are performing a variety of tactical maneuvers.

Previously, these tactical maneuvers, coupled with their heavy loads, made it difficult for them to move flexibly and freely.

But now, they've all transformed into incredibly agile cheetahs.

Zhao smiled and placed his hand on his power armor once again. He could clearly sense the hidden, surging power that could erupt at any moment.

Scientists are all monsters!

From his initial encounter with the problematic exoskeleton to the present day, his equipment has undergone several iterations.

It's only been a little over six months!

Following the organization, although we have to take on tough tasks, it's very comfortable.

The moment this thought popped into my head, the deep-seated memory from more than ten hours ago surged back up.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

More than ten hours ago, when he rolled the dice, he had the best luck and rolled a six, making him the first place winner.

Tu Ying and Lü Song were unlucky, having bad luck with their hands.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Thus, the 150-odd special forces soldiers he led became the first batch of soldiers to receive the dwarf warrior enhancement potion.

Looking back now, Professor Deng Dakang's kind expression at the time, but upon closer inspection, the way he looked at the lab rat really made him grit his teeth.

Some scientists are too smooth-talking, especially biologists, particularly microbiologists; their mouths are smoother than a con artist's.

Deng Dakang!

How awful!

He previously said there would only be a tiny bit of side effects!

Nonsense—it has huge side effects!

The first few hours after taking the medication were a terrible experience he didn't want to recall!

There was nothing wrong before the injection.

But then, an extreme pain began to appear, as if the body was being torn apart and reassembled alive.

At that time, Zhao felt that every muscle fiber and every cell in his body was screaming in agony.

If it weren't for the nutrient solution adjusted by humans, and the magical particles absorbed by the dragon scale device to replenish his own energy metabolism and compensate for the high-intensity consumption of his cells, he really felt that he couldn't hold on.

However, once all the painful intensification is over, the feeling of being reborn, light and powerful, is both unsettling and unforgettable.

"In the future, we must ask clearly about things like this!"

After expressing his feelings, Zhao turned to look at the soldiers who were gradually gathering to rest.

"Everyone, you've had quite a while to adjust, how are you feeling now?"

The soldiers were all full of energy and their eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"Captain, I feel like I could kill a bull with one punch right now!" Zhou, wearing power armor, grinned.

Feeling good, he casually kicked a crooked wooden stool, trying to straighten it.

"Crack!"

With a sharp crack, he kicked the stool and broke it because he hadn't controlled his strength properly.

His smile froze on his face. He hurriedly squatted down to straighten the stool, only to find that the situation had gotten even worse!

"Uh—the power is out of control again."

A suppressed chuckle suddenly rippled through the training ground.

Zhao glared at him, annoyed. "See if you still dare to act tough! Tone it down in the future. Everyone needs to get familiar with the strength quickly. Luckily, it was just the stool that was damaged. If you're still this clumsy on the battlefield and accidentally mishandle the gun, you'll be crying when you lose your fighting ability!"

Zhao cursed aloud, but he was secretly very happy.

The dwarves' top-tier potions truly live up to their reputation.

Moreover, the background of these things is also very interesting.

Professor Deng told the soldiers that these potions were originally the dwarves' trump card products, which they intended to sell to the human kingdoms.

In order to compete with the forces on the Holy Star that could mass-produce potions, the dwarves put a lot of effort into the export versions, especially in eliminating side effects, even more so than they did with the ones used for their own people.

As a result, the dwarves themselves experienced significant side effects from using the potion. Although it could enhance their abilities by 30% to 50%, the initial use was extremely painful and fraught with problems.

The side effects of the seized export-grade drugs they used were minimal, occurring during the initial injections but almost nonexistent later on.

Moreover, the enhancement effect is not diminished at all, and the efficacy can be maintained at its peak for five years before slowly declining.

However, this only weakens physical strength and power; the receptor's cellular activity, mitochondrial division, and other processes have been activated and enhanced. Users will gain several decades of extra lifespan out of thin air.

The spoils captured at the front were sent to the rear, where they were studied and improved, ultimately benefiting the frontline soldiers.

The cycle is perfect!

This also shows how good Dongda University is to the pioneering team.

If it were an eagle, these things would probably have been converted into billions of dollars, and then consumed by the white-haired nobles and tycoons.

After the Dongda University seized the soldiers' medicine, the first batch was used on the soldiers.

The remaining dozens are to be given to highly respected elderly scientists who have achieved numerous scientific accomplishments.

It's a pity this potion didn't appear earlier, otherwise the Supreme Instructor of Rice Agriculture would probably have regained his vitality and come to the other world to shine again.

The soldiers' medicine has now been used on some elderly scientists, and they have begun to use methods of feigning death to secretly transfer them here.

However, those were things that these soldiers couldn't possibly consider.

Their current focus is on absorbing and digesting the new information as quickly as possible, and mastering the new power.

"Captain, the lining of this new armor is a bit uncomfortable," another soldier whined, shifting his body. "It'll be such a hassle when I need to use the restroom while on duty!"

"Pretentious! Unsatisfied! If you don't want to wear it, give it to someone else! Many people dream of having such powerful power armor," Zhao criticized the other person.

"Captain, I was just being a little dramatic, showing off a bit!"

"Sigh, going to the toilet is such a hassle —"

"Instead of wasting time thinking about pooping, you should practice teamwork more! In the future, eat high-energy bars before going into battle."

Reduce physiological metabolism such as excretion!

Just then, the training ground gate slid open.

Professor Deng Dakang, who had just woken up, glanced at everyone.

"Haha, it seems everyone is recovering well! All lively and energetic, haha, very good."

He spoke with a smile, while Wang Hu, who was protecting him, was carrying some equipment.

Zhao and a group of soldiers immediately stood up straight.

"Reporting, Professor Deng! Our entire department has completed the intensive training, and the adaptation training went very smoothly. Are there any new tasks?"

"No need to rush. Let's eat first, and we'll talk after we finish eating," Deng Dakang waved his hand, gesturing for Wang Hu to turn the tablet towards them. "You can take a look at the tasks here first."

An hour later.

Zhao sat in the helicopter, looking down at the mountains below, then at the box that was placed in the corner and secured.

That was the head of one of the officers the elves had previously sent.

They will be used as bargaining chips in the negotiations with the dwarves later.

Besides the head, there were also some personal items, such as tokens indicating the mobilization of the elven army.

The other two heads, along with their personal belongings, have been placed on the southern border and handed over to Wu Mudi for negotiations.

The human special forces soldiers, who have received initial enhancements, will be responsible for protecting the safety of the envoys negotiating with the elves.

As for whether showing off a head would be seen as a provocation or a demand to start a war.

ho ho~

As long as those elves aren't completely brain-damaged or utterly insane, they'll probably be able to analyze the pros and cons.

If they've gone completely insane!

Then let's eliminate their corrupt high-ranking officials and let countless elves feel the warmth of the sun once more!

Tranquil Harbor, the outdoor rest area of ​​the dwarven military camp.

Several dwarves were sitting around a pile of training equipment, clattering and polishing their weighted armor.

The air was filled with the unique smell of stinky feet mixed with sweat.

Tiat slowly picked at the bits of meat stuck between her teeth with a small piece of dental floss, but her bright eyes were fixed on the distant harbor.

"Just now, another group of long-eared messengers arrived riding griffins. They're really something else, several people riding one griffin. Aren't they afraid of crushing it to death?"

"Who knows? Maybe Long Ears and the Griffin have some kind of illicit affair!"

"These griffins were all brought over from the southern humans; if there were any incestuous relationships, it should be with the big tree!"

"Hahaha----"

"Those guys have been secretly trying to negotiate with our leader lately. I really don't know what's going on in their heads," he muttered, flicking the floss off his dental floss. "Why do they have to negotiate on our turf? Why don't they go north and talk to the humans? They'd be in our way."

"Hmph, Brother Tiat, you just don't understand." A younger dwarf named Lati was wrapping new rope around his training axe to prevent cuts during training. Without looking up, his tone was full of contempt. "Those long-eared dwarves, their bellies are full of wicked schemes! I heard from Grandpa Hammer that they're not satisfied and want to use us as cannon fodder to cause trouble for our human friends again!"

"Cannon fodder?" Tiat let out a short, cold laugh, as if squeezed from his throat. "Them, you think?"

Dwarves are stubborn and have tempers as explosive as volcanoes, but they're not stupid.

Having spent so many years underground, I've developed a short-tempered personality where I can't stand anyone. Often, that look of being ready to fight at any moment is just a disguise.

It's better to provoke someone who's crazy than someone who's faking a smile.

This is a proverb of the dwarves, and also their rather distorted way of life.

Tiat knew perfectly well that there were many dwarves in the world.

Before Gazul's appearance, even if humans had saved them, or even if humans were their own fathers, given the dwarves' incredibly high self-esteem, they would still have to fight back against humans to see whose fist was harder.

To be a lackey of the powerful?

I can't bring myself to do it!

They learned from Lao Tzu's belief that he was the greatest under heaven, and considered themselves the greatest as well. They believed that even if their strength had declined, it was only temporary. As long as their ancestor descended from the stars once more, they would surely regain their former glory.

It was this very spirit that led to many moving and inspiring stories among the dwarves.

Even if the humans were there to save them, the dwarves would still cause trouble if they attacked their fortress.

But then, the guide to death, Via's ancestor, the god of death, Gazul, appeared.

According to Grandpa Iron Hammer, in the capital, the stubborn and inflexible old man of the Molten Clan changed his stance immediately upon learning of Gaizul's achievements, kowtowing to Gaizul and crying like a child.

Some corrupt members of the royal family were furious and called them traitors.

The gods themselves have descended and spoken: Who do you think you are, the royal family that has oppressed other clans for so many years?

As for the Mithril Clan—

The thought of this made Tiat's teeth ache.

Tiat's clan originally depended on the Mithril clan for survival.

Who knew the other party had become corrupt!

Those corrupt bastards are too dangerous; the Mithril Clan's high-ranking members are practically wiped out one by one.

Recently, purges have been frequently occurring within the dwarf community. The blood and powdered remains of burned corpses have made people within several kilometers feel nauseous.

They haven't even finished dealing with their own troubles, and now Long Ears is stirring things up again.

Only an idiot would fight with their human friends!

Moreover, if humans can defeat them once, they can defeat them a second time.

The dwarves were truly terrified of being beaten.

The Mithril clan was the most worried. They weren't afraid of their human friends, but rather of being swallowed up by other clans and reduced to vassals.

That would be even more painful than killing them.

As for Tiat, who was originally a vassal clan, he has been eager to lead the Copper Hammer clan to rebel against the Heavenly Gang and become a powerful clan!

"Big brother, what do you think the humans will achieve with Long Ears this time?" Lati wrapped up his training axe, swung it twice, and created a gust of wind.

"What are you talking about?" Tiat squinted, noticing a black dot in the distant sky that seemed to be leading you there. "Long Ears' going to be bleeding a lot out of him."

"Hehehe————"

The cheerful laughter of the young dwarves suddenly filled the rest area.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a dwarf came running over.

"Tiat! Human negotiators have arrived from the north."

Tiat and Lati exchanged a glance.

"Let's go see what's going on!"

"good!"

When Tiat and the other dwarves arrived, they found that hundreds of dwarves had already gathered there to watch the spectacle.

As soon as Tiat and Lati approached the edge of the crowd, they saw that the humans had already set up a makeshift platform.

It was built with a few thick wooden stakes and a wide plank; it was that simple.

"Wow, this negotiation is going on quite a big scale!"

"A bigger one would be better, it'd be more lively!"

"Don't speak, keep your voice down, or we won't hear you!"

The stage was already set up.

A pristine white tablecloth lay on the table, where two negotiators and several composed individuals sat, clearly seasoned negotiators.

A middle-aged man in clothes stood to the side, presumably the translator.

Not far away, Bi Shengli, dressed in the uniform of the reclamation team, stayed here with several commanders.

Nearby, Zhao and the other soldiers, who were temporarily filling in as a show of force, scanned the entire scene with eyes as sharp as knives.

The soldier's menacing aura made the dwarves watching the spectacle subconsciously quiet down.

"Ha, this setup is going to be a laughing stock of the judge, isn't it?" Latti chuckled.

Tiat stroked his sparse beard, squinting, "Talking about it publicly? That's going to embarrass Long Ears in front of everyone!"

"Hehe, I like it!"

Just then, the elven delegation arrived.

The leading elf was still Ethan, but this time she was accompanied by two negotiators sent from the elven capital.

She had expected a secret, respectable meeting, but when she was led to this open space, she froze.

Dwarves gathered from all directions to watch the spectacle, each munching on sunflower seeds given to them by the humans, whispering and pointing, their eyes fixed on what seemed like monkeys in a circus.

And directly in front of her, the clearly defined high platform made her blood surge.

Ethan's face immediately darkened, and she spoke to the elf beside her.

"It has to be done privately, otherwise we'll be in a very passive position!"

"I see!"

Ethan strode to the front of the stage and said to Professor Yu Qiwen, who had previously served as his translator, "Human friends, we are here to negotiate, not to put on a show! Please respect the confidentiality of our information!"

Yu Qiwen, with a warm smile, gestured for them to speak: "We originally wanted to talk privately. But some of your actions have crossed our bottom line!"

He paused, his smile unchanged, but his words carried a chill.

"You may leave now, but your departure will signify the elves' choice of war!"

"Elves are never afraid of any challenge!" Ethan said through gritted teeth.

"Very good." Yu Qiwen smiled and pointed into the distance. "That's the way out. By the way, before you leave, why don't you take a look at the gifts we've prepared for you?"

Just as Tiat and the other dwarves were engrossed in watching, they saw those long-eared creatures turn away defiantly.

"The negotiations have fallen apart?"

"The bones in those long ears are pretty hard!"

"Get hard my ass, I think it's just stupid!"

Before the dwarves' chatter had even subsided, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The team of elves, who had just walked a short distance, saw an elf approaching, exchanged some words, and then looked at something that was in a bag and looked round and bulging.

Then, the expressions of all the elf messengers changed.

Ethan, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped in his tracks, as if he had been frozen in place.

Tiat saw the long-eared leader tremble violently, then slowly and stiffly turn around.

"Looks like Long Ears is going to lose!"

When Ethan turned around, his expression was beyond just ugly; it was a mixture of fear and...

A pale white of humiliation and despair.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ethan and the elf's negotiating team walked back to the platform step by step.

This time, the muscles in his face contorted, forcing out a smile that looked worse than crying.

"Please sit down."

Yu Qiwen remained as calm and collected as ever.

Ethan stared at the strange, dark object with a net covering at the top, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.

"This is a magic microphone that amplifies our voices," Yu Qiwen explained.

Ethan's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately turned his head, whispering to his deputy in Elvish, "We request to speak privately!"

Yu Qiwen seemed not to hear, and continued to smile as he said, "Open negotiation is our tradition, and our dwarf friends like it this way, right?"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a deafening roar erupted from the distant dwarf horde.

"Yes! We dwarves like to speak frankly when we talk!"

"That's right! Who knows if you'll secretly try to harm our dwarf interests!"

"Make it public! It must be made public!"

Each cheer was like a heavy hammer blow to Ethan's heart.

He really didn't want to stay here, not even for a second.

But just now, the humans showed him a gift—the head of the pro-war elven commander in the heart of the royal capital.

This matter caused an uproar within the elves.

The enemy infiltrated the capital undetected, precisely beheaded the most vocal commanders, and swiftly brought them here.

This is blatant strategic deterrence!

If they can kill them today, they can unleash terrifying magic in any corner of the capital tomorrow, annihilating the elves.

How do you fight an enemy like that? What do you have to fight them with?

If we can't win, we can only talk.

Even if this negotiating table is full of humiliation, we still have to sit down.

If he leaves, the entire Elven race may face annihilation.

Ethan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He spoke to his deputy for a moment, and then the elf moved closer to Yu Qiwen.

Zhao intercepted directly.

"Hey, let them come over!"

"Greetings, esteemed messengers! Your gifts have been received. Those stubborn elements deserved to die, and we despise them too! To show our sincerity, we are willing—willing to offer five hundred of our most beautiful elven maidens, all of whom have undergone the finest training and will absolutely satisfy your needs!"

After speaking, the deputy looked nervously at Yu Qiwen, waiting for his reaction.

Yu Qiwen's smile vanished, and he immediately used human language to contact the foreign teacher team in charge of negotiations.

The other person picked up the microphone and cleared their throat.

The next second, a voice amplified dozens of times, filled with shock and anger, resounded throughout the venue: "What?! What did you say?"

"You elves are going to cede half your land and send half a million of your people to us as slaves?"

The representative of the foreign teachers' team spoke loudly and righteously into the microphone: "We absolutely disagree! We humans love peace, and we simply enjoy peacefully farming!"

The words were quickly translated by Yu Qiwen into a language that the elves and dwarves could understand!

At that moment, the entire scene fell silent!
