Chapter 24 Under the Reward
Maybe François and the others used some privileges, maybe the Kingdom of Oran attached great importance to the affairs of the orcs. In short, they responded quickly, and before waiting too long, a group of twelve griffon knights descended from the sky and landed. to the outskirts of town.

Tang Zhao and his party rushed towards the direction where they landed, followed by many people—it is the nature of creatures to watch the excitement, and some people can't hold back their curiosity.

Vultures are magical creatures suitable for use as mounts. They have a relatively docile personality. They have the front half of an eagle and the back half of a horse. They walk on four legs, have wings on their backs, and are over two meters taller than those in Tang Zhao's previous life. Heavy draft horses are even bigger.

After several generations of breeding and domestication, the Principality of Oran has a large army of griffon knights, which have played a decisive role in many wars.

This team of vulture knights belonged to the imperial guards of the royal capital. Both men and horses were equipped with gorgeous bright silver armor. The knights were equipped with long halberds. The right side of the horses was equipped with a row of short spears for throwing. It looked like an expensive and elite army.

When the leading knight met the two, his tone was serious and blunt, but he didn't mean to make things difficult.

After learning the details through the conversation, he thanked the two, and then led the rest of the knights to get on their horses and soar into the air.

They formed several teams in the air and spread out to inspect the edge of the forest.

The elite were indeed elite, but their number was too small. At the same time, their equipment was not suitable for hunting orcs in the forest, and they couldn't use their fists.

As the advance team, what they have to do is to seal off the entire forest and prevent those orcs from running away.

It sounds like a fantasy for 12 people to guard a forest border tens of kilometers long, but the vulture's eyes are genuine eagle eyes, and their reconnaissance ability at high altitudes is extremely strong, so this is not a problem.

Tang Zhao watched the group of knights go away, and then slapped the ground twice with his tail.

After receiving the signal, Cynthia immediately used the animal conversation technique on him, and the two sides talked and exchanged.

[It's about time, you try to talk to that elf to see if you can get a vehicle, I'm going to bring them out.It's okay if you don't succeed, wait for us at the entrance of the town, and leave this place of right and wrong first, the situation is getting more and more chaotic. 】

Negotiating with the kind-hearted son, Tang Zhao is somewhat confident, but the army is another matter. Seeing that the matter is about to expand, Tang Zhao does not want to get involved in the mess between humans and orcs.

The strength is too weak, the capital is too little, and if one is not careful, there will be no bones left.

"I understand, be careful when you go in, orcs may be nearby."

[Don't worry, I grew up in this forest, and they won't be able to catch up with me. 】

Tang Zhao himself has no idea about this, because judging from their performance just now, it is obvious that they have been specially trained to fight in the forest, but white lies still have to be told.

After explaining a few words, Tang Zhao pushed his legs out of the crowd and ran into the forest.

Tang Zhao, who has survived in the wilderness for more than a month, is very familiar with the forest. Using the creek as a reference and his excellent sense of smell, he successfully returned to the place where the goblin was stationed.

The little goblin brought the word smoothly. They are all hidden in the tree canopy, and the invisibility is turned on. Unless they are specially searched, it is extremely difficult to find.

This is the advantage of traveling lightly. Each person carries at most one backpack made of leaves, and nothing else. It is very convenient to hide or run.

They were lucky, they didn't encounter the retreating orc troops, they only heard some movement, but they didn't dare to go and check, if Tang Zhao didn't come for another hour, they couldn't help it, and sent someone to look for it.

It took 2 minutes to briefly describe what happened, and the goblins who had been waiting for a long time had no objection and immediately agreed to leave.

As before, the goblin patrol team was exploring the way in the sky, and Tang Zhao followed closely behind.

It's just that this time he has a lot of tired goblins on him, and being invisible also requires physical strength, and it's not too small. After maintaining the invisible state for so long, many goblins are actually exhausted and have been barely supporting themselves.

The journey was safe and sound. Soon after leaving the forest, they saw Cynthia waiting for them, followed by Guinivea and Tina.

It seems that things have been negotiated, at least it can be said that there is progress.

Cynthia cheered and flew to the group of goblins: "The problem with the carriage has been solved! That human and half-elf should be trustworthy, I have detected them with the magic of detecting thoughts, there is no problem!"

Hearing this, Tang Zhao felt a little helpless. She couldn't be said to be stupid, but the way of thinking of a goblin is more innocent after all, and she is less likely to think bad things about people.

Detecting thoughts is indeed useful, but a first-level magical creature can be used by a fourth-level spellcaster at the bottom, and what you get may not necessarily be the truth.

However, he didn't particularly care about this, because for fourth-tier spellcasters, if they really want to harm them, there are a hundred and one thousand ways. Tang Zhao can use tricks and brute force to deal with second-tier enemies, but Tier [-], the gap is too big, he doesn't even know what kind of opponent this is.

Therefore, he could only persuade himself to relax a bit, trust others more, and listen to the arrangement of these two women first.

There weren't many polite words, and the two of them probably didn't want the goblin to have too much contact with the soldiers.

Guinivea spoke first: "I have already heard what happened from Cynthia. I am sorry that we did not discover such a thing earlier, but it is too late to talk about it now. You are going to the west of Oran, this matter Tina can help, let her talk to you."

Tina took a step forward and bowed to the fairies: "I'm Tina Orfa. I have some business in my family. The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is in Luford in the west. I can let you take the carriage of the Chamber of Commerce to go there. I will give you With a loyal and reliable guide, there is no need to worry about the cost, you have already paid in advance for helping me find the lycanthropist stronghold."

Lalique said bluntly: "Thank you very much for helping the goblins in this critical moment. When will the carriage you mentioned arrive?"

"Soon, I just sent a message to the people in Wangdu with a carrier pigeon, and I will definitely arrive today."

The goblins couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and even Tang Zhao was a little relieved.

[I don’t know what her purpose is, but she’s been acting friendly so far. 】

In theory, he could refuse the other party's help, but this opportunity is very difficult to come back.

I don't know the road, there is no means of transportation, and there will be human checkpoints on the road.
These are all problems, not to mention that considering the obvious identity of the woman in front of him, Tang Zhao had better not refuse.

He took a few steps forward, and lightly nudged Lalique's back from behind, signaling that he agreed to the other party's proposal.

After the decision was made, the atmosphere on the field suddenly relaxed a lot. Tina led most of the goblins to the main road behind the town, and waited for the carriage to arrive from there. A group invisibility technique that makes all elves within the range invisible.

Seeing Tang Zhao was a little awkward, he still remembered the detoxification technique.

Now, only Gui Nivea and a few goblins are left beside him.

After recruiting Cynthia, he walked a few steps away and asked her to perform the animal conversation technique. Tang Zhao told her two more things and entrusted her to talk to Guinivea.

Nodding repeatedly, Cynthia flapped her wings and flew in front of Guinivea: "Miss Michaela, can I ask you one more thing?"

"Just call me Guinivea. There's no need to be so reserved. If you have any questions, just ask. I'll try my best to answer."

"Since you are the daughter of an elf diplomat, do you have regular contact with the elf kingdom?"

"Of course there is. My father often uses magic to communicate with the elves in the country, and they will regularly send missions and business groups to the Kingdom of Oran."

"May I ask if they can bring some elves with us when they come next time? There is still some dispute between us about where they will eventually migrate. Many elves want to go to the elf kingdom. The distance is too far, so we can only let it go."

"This is no problem! The woodland elves have always welcomed fairies, and they will be happy to coexist with you. It's just that you have to wait for a while. The mission starts from there in early spring, and it usually arrives in late spring. It's only August now. , it won’t be until next year, but when the time comes, I will definitely find a way to notify you.”

Cynthia thanked her again. Now that she is in such a poor state, there is really no better way to express her gratitude than a little pale.

Only Cynthia knew Guinivea's family background. She lacked all kinds of knowledge about human society and didn't know what a diplomat was, but Tang Zhao knew it very well.

Asking the other party to help send the goblins to the fairy kingdom is not only for his own good, but also for the good of the goblins.

Going to the Yongwang Mountains to open up a new world is a very challenging job. To be honest, Tang Zhao doesn't know if they can do it. If he really struggles and can't support it, then he simply follows the fairies to the elf kingdom.

I heard that the elves don't like to eat meat. Going there may be a little lack of food, but it is absolutely no problem to save their lives, and it is also to leave a way out for themselves.

In addition, it is conceivable that in the future land reclamation period, the goblins and him will not have a particularly good time. At that time, there may be some goblins clamoring to part ways and go to the elf kingdom by themselves.

It will take a month for the elf mission to reach the Kingdom of Oran, and one can imagine how far this trip is. Going by the elf by himself is purely death.

With such an idea provided by Gui Nivea, Tang Zhao is confident to persuade all the goblins, at least let them not think about leaving until the next spring, and start to open up wasteland in the Yongwang Mountains.

For the goblins, there is a high probability that they can save their lives. For Tang Zhao, he can have multiple helpers. He thinks it is a win-win situation.

More than half a year is more than enough time. If the new home in the Yongwang Mountains can be really built by then, I believe those goblins will not want to leave. If they are really dissatisfied, then it’s okay to leave.

Without the incident of Gui Nivea, maybe those goblins would have to leave before winter, and now they can stay in the Yongwang Mountains for a few more months. From this point of view, Tang Zhao undoubtedly made money, and he made a lot of money .

After discussing the goblin matter, it's up to Tang Zhao himself.

"Let me ask you again, there are still a few hunters hunting in the forest. If they are killed by orcs during this period, will the Kingdom of Oran compensate them?"

"There is also this. The law of Oran considers that the orcs fleeing into the kingdom is considered negligent in the army. Generally, the family members of the victims will be compensated with a silver lion. Rewarded by five silver lions."

It is undeniable that orcs are inherently stronger than humans, and their brutal and brutal style can easily arouse human fear.

They fought against the orcs all the year round, and it would be impossible to rely solely on those military nobles to fight, so they needed to recruit soldiers from civilians to supplement the army.

If the soldiers were so frightened that their legs limp when they saw the orcs as soon as they fought, then they should stop fighting. Therefore, in order to eliminate the fear of the orcs among the people as much as possible, the royal family of Oran can be said to have tried all kinds of tricks.

　There are still some agreed-upon additions, and they are generally combined directly.
