Before ascending to God, be a good lord

The sun once again fell on the Iowa valley. The ground that was scorched by the dragon's flames two days ago has been restored to its original appearance after being taken care of by the germaphobic Orphen Goulan. Even Iowa The pass itself has also been repaired like new. Only the orc camps west of the boundary river can still see traces of the war.

Early in the morning, Lant took Liehuo, Hornier and more than a dozen knights out of the pass and headed west to the bank east of the boundary river. Looking at the camp on the other side, two giant beasts and ten beasts also emerged from the camp. Several orcs.

The two giant beasts are Zhuxi Linmao, the leader of the Linmao tribe, and Tata Jiaolang of the Jiaolang tribe. Today's meeting is to allow the two tribes to reach a written peace treaty with Lant's territory.

As soon as Tata saw Lant arriving as promised, a smile appeared on his face. Now he is the most welcoming to the treaty. Catalina had communicated with him the general content of the treaty early this morning, which was to use the southern slaves of the Human Empire. , exchanging Galloping Horse members in the basin.

The one who benefits the most here is undoubtedly his family. After all, Jiao Lang's workshop has received an order from Yeqi City. If new human miners can be in place during the three months of winter, then the war can be over. Impact is minimized.

The safety and treatment guarantees that Lant insisted on for the slaves were not a problem for Tata. Even in the past few hundred years, the human race in the mines also had considerable independent rights, which were also controlled by the Benma family. The nobles come to manage it, and there are even many demon-advocates from the Benma family who want to stay in his mine and manage the future slaves.

In this way, the Jiaolang Tribe and the Benma Family have become allies as each other's upstream and downstream suppliers. The tribe once spent money to build up military force to prevent human slaves from revolting, but this has directly transformed into the foundation for Jiaolang to stabilize the basin. .

"Finally no more fighting!" Thinking of this, Tata said casually, but found that Zhu Xi Linmao beside him did not respond to him.

Next to Tata, Zhuxi looked unhappy. As soon as she saw Lant, she leaned down and stared at him closely with her eyes, making a purring sound in her mouth.

Lant looked carefully and found several scars on Zhuxi's face. Although the new scars were not serious, they were very obvious.

However, thinking about it carefully, when Tianzhuxi entered the battle before, he did not fight with him. Not long after becoming the avatar, he joined forces with him to resist the rat god. Therefore, Lant did not understand how the big cat in front of him was injured.

Honiel Galloping Horse followed Lant. When he saw the proud expression of the big cat Catalina in the camp on the other side of the river, his face became a little uneasy. She knew this enemy mother and daughter very well. Naturally, she knew that this scar must have been left by Catalina.

"Chief Zhuxi? We are here for peace today, but it seems that you are not very welcoming to me!"

Seeing the big cat grinning at him, Lant said with a smile.

"Woo~" Zhuxi suddenly growled, and then said loudly, "Lant Galloping Horse! You listen to me, don't think that because you have some relationship with my mother, you can take advantage of our Linmao!"

"Ah?" Lant was suddenly stunned, and even Jiao Lang beside the big cat was stunned.

"Also, don't let me call you daddy!"

Zhuxi's roar was very much like that of a middle school girl. After hearing that her mother had remarried, she roared when she faced her stepfather for the first time. The complex emotions gushing out made Lant almost believe it.

"You guys..." Tata looked at Zhuxi and then at Lant. He subconsciously wanted to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth. In addition to his expression, he was also a little wary.

Honier frowned, looked at Catalina and Zhu Xi, and immediately knew that this must be a plan planned by the mother and daughter. He first asked Zhu Xi to express his position loudly, and on the one hand, he manipulated the relationship between Catalina and Lant. The veil of gossip made Tata and Jiao Lang even more awed. On the other hand, Zhuxi lied and got rid of the infamy of being in cahoots with Lant. "No one in your family can save fuel!" Now that Hornier knew about Zhu Xi's misfortune, Lant quickly came to his senses.

To be honest, everyone in Lin Maozhu's family, from the cat god and mother cat to his daughter and youngest son, took control of Lant from different directions, which made him always feel like he wanted to deal with them but couldn't bear it.

Compared to the calm atmosphere in the front row, both the knights behind Lant and the orcs behind the Beloved began to lose their composure.
The knights behind Lant were okay, they just looked at the back of their coach with curious eyes, but the orcs behind Zhuxi were different. They couldn't imagine that their family members were so close to the human race, that they were called Dad, everyone was whispering to each other and at a loss.

Zhuxi heard the whispers of the orcs, and felt proud. Coming here to build momentum was her main purpose today. What she wanted was her subordinates, but she didn't know how many cards she had and how big her network of connections was.

The negotiations did not last long. The two sides only agreed to set up a camp in the open space east of the boundary river specifically for the negotiation work of representatives of both parties.

Although the general content of the peace treaty has changed its direction, the specific text, the titles, the place names and status of the two new cities, and the relationship between the new city and the basin and the Orc Royal Court still need to be confirmed by both parties before there can be any results.

This requires both sides to send representatives with sufficient weight to finalize the decision. The Orcs have Tata's younger brother Tagwa as the main representative. The Rand side originally wanted to send Hornier, but was boycotted by Tata and Zhuxi. .

"We can't let Honir participate. If she does, then everything will have to depend on her! Don't talk about Tagawa, even if you find a favored person, you can't defeat her!" Zhuxi protested loudly.

"That's right, their family has already obtained a city-state this time, so don't come over and negotiate again!" Tata also said.

In the end, Lant had no choice but to find his uncle Albert as his agent, and the two parties would conduct peace negotiations under the witness of representatives of neutral city-states.

……

When Lant returned to Iowa Castle with great satisfaction, he found that there were people coming and going in the whole castle, and it was a lively scene.

While he was wondering, Lant saw the commanding attendants arranging the little cardinals, and quickly asked: "What's going on? Do negotiations also need to be celebrated like this?"

"Sir, you are back." As soon as the little cardinal saw Lant, she quickly pulled him to the terrace of the castle tower and explained while walking, "His Majesty Duson came over just now, and he only brought the knight Susie with him. , it was Gu Leya who sent them here directly through the portal in Yeqi City."

"Dusen? His Majesty Dusen Baixiao?" Lant realized that it was the king of the dragon who came in person, and he quickly straightened his clothes.

"Yes, he asked me to keep quiet, and he didn't even plan to stay for dinner," Little Cardinal explained, "but I was afraid that he would change his mind temporarily, so I asked someone to prepare a banquet at noon."

"Well, I understand. I'll go find His Majesty!" Lant nodded.
