Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Lin Mo was taken aback.

A marriage alliance?

He had originally thought the Elf Queen would ask for equipment quotas, access to technology, or a command position within the Allied Legion, but he never expected this.

However, upon closer reflection, it's not surprising that marriage is a way to build closer relationships among the various tribes of Terra.

This is what the Great Xia Dynasty did in the past. Now that the other side has proposed it, it is a good thing that it can strengthen the relationship between the two countries.

Fendona continued:

"Her Majesty the Queen said that the Holy Human Race has a special relationship with Great Xia because of you, their holy son, and in recent years the relationship has become increasingly close."

Upon hearing this, Kyle slightly raised his chin.

Fendona:

"Among the various orc tribes, there are many who want to join the Great Xia."

"In the past, some tribes were so desperate that they even considered surrendering to the demons. Now that they have a better option, they are naturally eager to join."

Grom scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.

Fendona:

"As for the dwarves, Her Majesty the Queen said that as long as they can forge in peace, have good wine to drink, and live undisturbed lives, they don't really care who is in charge."

Thorin's lips twitched. He wanted to retort, but after thinking about it carefully, he didn't know where to begin.

Dwarfs certainly don't have a competitive spirit.

Their only thought was to spend their days by the furnace figuring out new forging methods, selling the finished equipment in exchange for food and wine.

For many dwarves, this was the life they had always dreamed of.

Unfortunately, things never went as planned. Others always coveted their mines and craftsmanship, bullying the little people, which forced them to form a nation.

With the subsequent invasion of the demon race, there was no way to lie still.

Overall, the Elf Queen wasn't wrong.

"Of course, our Elven race has cooperated with the Great Xia, but apart from trade and military purchases, we lack a long-term bond that can truly reassure our elders."

As Fendona finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Mo, then quickly looked away.

"Her Majesty the Queen hopes that this bond can be strengthened."

Lin Mo pondered for a moment, then slowly said:

"There shouldn't be any problems with the marriage alliance in general."

"However, the two tribes are reproductively isolated, so the practice of maintaining the relationship through offspring cannot be adopted. Intermarriage between generations is necessary."

"As for the difference in lifespan, the longevity vaccine that Daxia has developed is expected to extend human lifespan to around two hundred years. With the addition of the Life Fruit and subsequent technological advancements, the gap should be narrowed considerably, so it shouldn't be a major problem."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fendona:

"By the way, have you chosen anyone yet?"

"If not, we can solicit single children from the senior management of Daxia who are willing to participate in the exchange and let them meet and chat first."

Fendona lowered her head, her two little hands tangled together under the table.

"We've already chosen someone for the elves' side."

"Who is it?"

"I."

The meeting room fell silent immediately.

Lin Mo's smile froze, and he subconsciously repeated:

"you?"

Fendona nodded, her ear tips already flushed red.

Lin Mo didn't notice anything amiss, but felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

He was still thinking about how the two races should meet and get along, but at this moment he suddenly didn't want to think about it anymore.

From their initial encounter with Fendona, to handling affairs together, and how she would always come over to ask him a few questions when he was tired, all those scenes that didn't seem special before suddenly came flooding back.

Lin Mo's expression was complicated, and he felt somewhat uneasy.

In the end, it all turned into a long sigh in my heart.

The Queen has chosen her, and I can't let the negotiations stop here just because I'm reluctant to part with her, and let national affairs be delayed for my own selfish interests.

He needs to consider the overall situation.

He managed a weak smile:

"Then I wish you all the best in advance, that you find a good partner and have a happy and fulfilling life."

Fendona looked up, first with a puzzled expression, then as if she finally understood what he was thinking, and stared at him in disbelief.

"If I marry someone else, is all you can say to me be your blessing?"

Lin Mo's heart clenched, but he feigned a relaxed expression and said:

"Then I wish you a speedy delivery of your son?"

He froze as soon as he said it.

We just finished talking about reproductive isolation, and now even these kinds of blessings are popping up.

He tried to appear generous, but the more he talked, the more outrageous it became.

Fendona looked at Lin Mo, her eyes instantly welling up with tears, her chest heaving with anger. Finally, she simply pursed her lips, turned her head away, and crossed her arms, refusing to look at him again.

Who wants to hear this kind of blessing!

Kyle finally couldn't stand it anymore and pushed the teacup in front of him.

The Holy Son is usually very shrewd when negotiating, so why does he seem to have his head sealed when faced with this kind of situation?

According to the Great Xia, what is this called again?

Yes, a typical straight man!

"Your Highness, I know Her Majesty's exact words," Kyle said, looking at Lin Mo with a helpless expression.

"The people she hopes to marry are you and Princess Fendona, not anyone else."

Lin Mo was completely stunned.

Zhao Gang, who had just picked up his teacup, also stopped what he was doing, shifting his gaze from Lin Mo to Fendona, and then suddenly realized what was going on.

So that's what they were waiting for!

Lin Mo opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

The feeling that had been stuck in his chest suddenly dissipated, replaced by a panic that left him unsure of where to put his hands.

Fendona still turned her head away, but her little face turned even redder.

Zhao Gang immediately understood and laughed:

"Oh, I see. That's a good thing!"

"Our Commander Lin is a talented young man with exceptional abilities. He's also very familiar with Princess Fendona, knowing her inside and out. I think he'll be a good fit!"

Lin Mo quickly turned his head:

"No, I haven't even agreed yet, and you've already agreed?"

Under the table, Zhao Gang reached out and patted his arm, lowering his voice.

"Put the greater good first, put the greater good first, everything is for the country, and the country will remember your contributions."

Lin Mo: "..."

Zhao Gang suppressed a laugh and added:

"Besides, Fendona is such a wonderful girl, don't do anything foolish."

These two have been together for so long, and whenever she has free time, she runs over to Lin Mo. Although Lin Mo doesn't say it, he also enjoys spending time with Fendona, and they've even watched several movies together.

Everyone else had already figured it out; it was just the two of them who were still separated by a thin veil.

It's just that Lin Mo has never been in a relationship before, and it's normal for him to be bound by some traditional ideas since he's in an interracial relationship right from the start.

Since both parties like each other and have a good impression of each other, and there is an opportunity for them to get married, it is a good opportunity to bring this couple together.

This is a good thing for Lin Mo and Fendona, as well as for the elves and the Great Xia.

As for the issue of reproductive isolation, Lin Mo certainly cannot be without offspring, so he can just marry a girl from Daxia later.

In the face of national interests, these are all minor matters, trivial matters.
