Zongman: Start by becoming the savior of the elves!

There is another problem that Otoko Castle does not have, and that is the existence of Mizuli.

Although Mizili was now a guest general who provided him with advice and suggestions, she was, after all, a forest elf from a different camp from his own. As the saying goes, "One must be on guard against others", and she was a notorious witch strategist. It was possible that Mizili was more dangerous than those people in Otoko Castle.

Thinking of this, Diruwa's eyes flashed and she shifted her attention from the two dark elf elders from Otoko City to Mizili, but her unintentional action was caught by the two elders.

Thus, the real showdown began.

The elder who was the chief envoy was the vanguard. She said, "Lord Diruwa, I hope that the negotiation we are having today is a peace talk, not a declaration of war for the purpose of going to war with the other party. Right."

Seeing that the two elders on the other side had pulled the negotiations back from collapse, Diluwa quickly agreed: "Of course. Of course. The fate of the savior is a problem for all of us dark elves, and it would be best if it could be resolved through peace talks."

Very good, it is good to define the nature of this negotiation.

Then the elder who was in charge brought out the conditions for today's negotiations. She said, "Here are my master's original words: Since Ms. Diluwa and Olga both recognize me as the savior, why don't Otoko City and Jingang unite together, and rebuild the glory before the dark elves split hundreds of years ago? This is what the master said."

"Varied……"

"open……"

Hearing that the other party would actually offer such an unexpected condition, Diluwa and Mizili, who had never expected the situation to develop to this result, didn't know what to say.

As for Eluda standing aside, it was as if she was listening to a foreign text. She let Diruwa discuss something with the other dark elf elders, and she always had a confused look on her face.

If Elda in this state were given dog ears, a fluffy coat and a tail raised, she would look like a Husky that had just destroyed a house and was showing off its house-destroying skills to its owner.

Among them, the only one who reacted differently from the others was Iblin.

Her subtle expression, as if she saw through everything yet didn't, must have shown that she understood what the envoy elder had said.

But what she said next overturned the entire process of the negotiations.

Iblin said, "In other words, the Savior wants us to merge with Otoko City, right? Then, are we being annexed and becoming part of Otoko City? Or is Otoko City being incorporated into us?"

This guy...his words are too straightforward...he has no brains at all...

Diluwa and the two elders of Otoko Castle who were present complained about Iblin's bluntness. Only Mizili was secretly happy.

Even though Iblin was telling the truth, Lin Rui did have the intention to annex the coastal dark elves. But after all, the other party and the dark elves of Yizi City under his rule were of the same language and race. Lin Rui did not want to start a war nor force the other party. He really wanted to unify the entire dark elf tribe in a peaceful way.

At least for now.

The author says:

Author's note: The manuscript for the extra chapter used to test XP has been written. But the book of Man and Spider is very difficult, and I am not satisfied with it no matter how I revise it, so please wait a few more days.

Chapter 28 The Cause of the Cause

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Iblin is innocent and straightforward. Her behavior is quite childish. She never thinks about what she says and just blurts it out based on her feelings.

Now, the elves of Jingang, led by Diruwa, focused all their attention on the two dark elf elders from Yizi City who came to negotiate.

Wow... I didn't expect the other party to do this.

That woman... looks quite innocent... is her observation ability even sharper than that guy Mizili?

Of course, since the two elder envoys did not know Iblin's character, they mistook Iblin's straightforwardness for being treacherous and his frankness for being sharp.

but……

We still have a backup plan

In fact, before they left, Lin Rui had already taught them all the strategies on how to deal with possible doubts from the other party, how to respond to them and what to say.

That is

Play the last card...!

Retreat to advance, create chaos for the other side, pass the problem to the other side, and make the other side lose their composure.

"I don't think anyone would accept such an offensive proposal, even if it was proposed. Not to mention my master who is a considerate and kind person. The master said that if General Diluwa is willing to put aside the past grudges and work together with Otoko City, so that the dark elf tribe can be unified without fighting, the master is willing to open the city without bloodshed and voluntarily dedicate Otoko City to General Diluwa."

“Huh…? What…?”

"You are... kidding me..."

What a shocking statement.

It is hard to imagine that these are words that a mature lord could say.

Any normal person wouldn't believe such a thing.

In fact, Diluwa and Mizili knew it clearly in their hearts. Unless the other party was an idealist or a fool, they would never offer to voluntarily surrender the city. But they did offer it, and in a formal diplomatic occasion.

Such outrageous words directly impacted Diluwa and Mizili's thinking circuits, and their brains were completely idle.

Seeing that Diruwa and Mizili had no idea how to respond, the elder envoys looked at each other. After exchanging glances about the results of their conversation, the two smiled at each other.

Apparently, they achieved their goal.

But the two elders' operations are far from over.

What happens next is more worth savoring.

After the chief envoy had spoken out the terms for the sacrifice of Otoko Castle, the deputy envoy had not even finished his words when the chief envoy immediately retorted, his voice as if he was arguing, and he directly scolded the chief envoy, "Wait a minute! The master did say that he was willing to sacrifice Otoko Castle, but the premise is that Lord Diruwa wants to unify the elf tribes, not the dark elf tribes."

Uh...huh?

Diluowa was confused again.

Just now I was imagining that I would accept the worship of my subjects in Otoshi Castle without any fighting, but everything changed in just a few seconds?

Just as the exasperated Diruwa was about to open his mouth to ask for clarification, the two elders of Yizi City started arguing among themselves.

"No, I remember the master said that we just need to unify the various dark elves. Unifying the various elves is too difficult even for Lord Diruwa."

"You are stupid... The so-called dark elves are just us and Lord Diruwa. If the master really does what you say, doesn't that mean we will be given away for free?"

"But I remember the master's order was indeed..."

The interesting thing started. The two elder envoys actually quarreled over the details of the topic in front of Diluwa and the others, and their voices were getting louder and louder. It was completely challenging the bottom line of Diluwa, a warrior general.

This is terrible and unbelievable in any diplomatic exercise.

Finally, Diruwa, who could no longer bear it, shouted at the two dark elf elders before Eluda could explode:

"You two guys! Do you think I'm easy to play with? Just state the conditions proposed by the savior. Why do you say you want to unify the elves and the dark elves? Why did your master send you to negotiate?"

As expected of a military general, Diluwa has a strong aura. In her rage, she is "angry as thunder", "angry as the sky". The mountains and cliffs are weeping, and the waves are afraid of the reverse flow.

Not to mention the dark elf elders and Mizili who were outsiders, even Diruwa's own sister Iblin had never seen her sister lose her temper like that.

"elder sister……"

"...baJ Qiliu 342 Xiaof:"

Even Elda, the axe girl who only knew how to fight and acted lawless, was frightened by Diruwa's rage. She didn't even dare to raise her head. She kept muttering in her mouth as if to comfort herself not to be afraid:

“The Big Sister is angry…it’s not my fault…The Big Sister is angry…it’s not my fault…The Big Sister is angry…it’s not my fault…The Big Sister is angry…it’s not my fault…The Big Sister is angry…it’s not my fault…The Big Sister is angry…it’s not my fault…”

Of course, the two dark elf elders, the culprits who caused this scene, were naturally frightened half to death by Diruwa's rage. You have to know that there is no diplomatic convention in this world. Although it is not common for parties to kill envoys due to anger or other reasons, it will not be regarded as a special case by neighboring countries.

It's even more common than someone who has been a vegetarian for several months suddenly eating meat one day.

After a brief and tense calm, the two elders looked at each other in horror, then quickly knelt down and said, "I'm so sorry! Maybe we made a mistake!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't apologized, but the apology made Diluwa even angrier.

But at this time, including the smart guy Mizili, no one in the entire Jin Port knew the purpose of Otoshi Castle sending these two elders to say these words.

This diplomatic event, which should have satisfied both sides, came to an end.

The two envoy elders originally thought that they would be held hostage in Tianjin Port, but Diluwa did not do so. After all, the other party was an envoy sent by the Savior. If they were forcibly detained, it might not look good in the future.

Moreover, even if these two messengers were killed, there would be no benefit at all except venting one's anger.

"It seems that the savior is only good in bed, and his management of his subordinates is really a mess. Even the messenger he sent is a mess as to what to say."

After the envoy left, Diruwa did not adjourn the meeting immediately, but calmed down and evaluated the envoy's actions.

Duluwa believes that the performance of these two messengers is enough to prove that this savior has no ability to control his subordinates. The so-called savior is just a pretty boy who only knows how to have sex with girls.

Elda agreed with this, and even proposed a further plan: "Big Sister is right. Otoko Castle is like a broken house. We only need to kick it hard and the whole building will collapse. Not to mention a pretty boy like this who can't even put up a fight. When facing a strong enemy like us, Otoko Castle under his governance is like a meat bun hitting a dog, and there is no turning back."

Elujiuda's innocent metaphor caused everyone to laugh.

How can you compare yourself to a dog?

"What are you doing? What's so funny... Am I wrong? The reason why Otoko Castle can survive until now is that they are weak enough, so weak that there is no one who wants to fight it."

Elda was completely unaware that there was something wrong with her metaphor.

"Eluda, shut up first. Mizili, you are a smart person. What do you think?"

Diruwa passed by Eluda and Iblin and asked for Mizili's opinion.

"My opinion?" Mizili had already prepared that Diluwa would ask for her advice, but she pretended to be unprepared and answered with wide eyes: "Ask me? I think what Eluda said is very good. Everyone has seen the performance of the two dark elf envoys just now. They don't look like they are here to negotiate at all. It seems more like they are here to deliberately irritate you. In other words, the savior of Otoko City has no intention of negotiating at all. It is impossible for you, Diluwa, to unify the dark elves or the various elves without offering Otoko City."

"I think so too. But I don't understand, did the Savior send these two people here just to irritate me? But what good will this do him?"

"To anger Diruwa was just an appearance. It was not the intention of the two messengers."

"Appreciate further details."

"I have two guesses. One is that the savior is a figurehead. The one who really holds the power is Olga.

First of all, considering Olga's personality, this is absolutely possible. Secondly, the relationship between you and Otoko Castle is already very bad, and those two little girls just materialized this contradiction in a diplomatic occasion.

As for the purpose, I think it is to test your attitude towards the Savior, Diluwa. Do you accept the Savior's current status in Otoko Castle, or do you really want to fight for the Savior with force?

The second possibility is that the savior really has the real power and really wants to have a good talk with us. After all, the savior is an outsider and has a different perspective from us. But unfortunately, his subordinates are all old subordinates of Oliga and are very opposed to peace talks with you, Diluwa. So these two girls deliberately angered us and broke up the peace talks.

These are basically the two possibilities I can guess.”

Mizili analyzed so much in one breath, but Diluwaqi didn't make any comments.

"I see. Then what should we do?"

She just asked herself what to do next.

"Diroir, what do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do?"

The question he asked Mizili was asked back by her, and Diruwa didn't know how to answer.

"Do they want to control the savior? Or do they want to ignore his existence and continue to guard Jingang? At least judging from what those two girls said today. Otoko Castle has no interest in Jingang. It is likely that they will temporarily make internal adjustments."

Mizili's question was like a sword of Damocles hanging over Diruwa's head, making her feel uneasy.

Should we march into Otoshi Castle? Or should we continue to defend Tsu Port? It was really hard to decide.

Otoshi Castle is a force of 8000 people, and at least 1 to 2000 people are needed to capture it. But the defense of Jin Port will be weak.

"Well, let me ask you, Mizili. If I told you that I wanted to take Otoko Castle, what would you do?"

After hesitating, Diluwa asked Mizili the question he had been thinking about for a long time.

Chapter 29: The Terrible but Cute Half-Spider-Man Al

Although Mizili had expected Diruwa's question, she was still caught off guard.

She didn't expect that Diluwa would ask the question so readily.

After all, the envoy had just left and you immediately started to plot against him. Mizili really didn't expect that General Diruwa, who seemed easy to deal with, would be so scheming.

After staring at Diluwa for a long time, Mizili finally spoke, but she asked Diluwa:

"Dilroy, are you serious? Do you want to mobilize troops to take over Otoko Castle?"

"What? Mizili, do you think I, Diluwa, can't beat them?"

Among the people Mizili knows, Diluwa is the type who is easier to talk to, but even the easiest person has his or her bottom line.

Diruwa's bottom line is that she will never allow others to doubt her ability as a soldier.

Because she is the general. The general of the dark elves.

But Mizili continued to ignore Diluwa's bottom line and continued to say words that were nominally for advice but actually angered her:

"I suggest you save your energy, General Diruwa. Otoko Castle is not what it used to be. The Savior is there, and you can't defeat them. Remember a few days ago, they even beat back the Black Beast Group? That's the power of the Savior."

"Tsk! That savior OSu: Yilingqi6! The Three Land Lords of Yisi couldn't even manage his own men. It was probably Chloe who defeated the Black Beast Group. It was only to stabilize the people's hearts that the credit was given to the savior. I've seen this kind of trick many times."

Diluwa still disdained Lin Rui's existence, but Mizili continued to chatter in her ear:

"But he is a savior after all, and his appeal is still strong."
