Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

"Brother Zhao, please stop joking with me."

Lin Mo smiled wryly, closed the notes he had already organized, and quickly changed the subject:

"Honestly, I didn't expect them to agree so easily."

"Unifying military and logistical power is no longer an ordinary alliance; the orcs actually want to join us directly."

"Looking back now, I still find it hard to believe."

Seeing that the conversation was getting serious, Zhao Gang put away his smile and said:

"We think it's fast, but they've already been fighting the demons for nearly two hundred years."

"One demon god almost wiped out their country and their race, not to mention that there are more than a hundred demons, and there are even ninth-level beings among them."

"The fact that antimatter weapons can kill demons does not mean that we can block all demons at the same time."

"It is certain that the demon god Kog'Maw has mastered our spatial coordinates, and a large-scale invasion is only a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo's heart sank, and the slight relief he had felt earlier vanished instantly.

Zhao Gang continued:

"When that day comes, if everyone is still looking out for themselves, we'll be like clay bodhisattvas crossing a river, only able to save ourselves first."

"They can't buy enough weapons, and they don't have the ability to fight alone. Where can they retreat to?"

Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded and said with emotion:

"Yes, we can't expect the enemy to keep giving us time."

"Let's not talk about that now. Let's tell Old Zhao the good news first. There's still a lot of work to be done."

The secure communication was quickly established, and Zhao Lao's holographic projection appeared at the other end of the conference table, with several unread documents beside him.

The two men stood up and saluted:

"Greetings, sir!"

Old Zhao smiled and waved his hand:

"Please sit down."

"Are you contacting me at this time because there's been a result regarding the Allied Forces?"

"That's right, and there's an unexpected bonus."

"Oh? Tell me quickly."

Lin Mo summarized the negotiation results into several points, explained the attitudes of the elves and the holy humans, mentioned that the dwarves were considering joining the Great Xia directly, and finally revealed the formal resolution of the Orc Alliance.

The detailed terms and matters to be discussed were sent to Elder Zhao along with the report.

As he listened, Old Zhao read the details aloud. After he finished listening, he stopped flipping through the documents and exclaimed excitedly:

"Okay, okay, okay!"

He said "good" three times in a row, then pulled up a map and looked at the outer perimeter of the Great Xia's garrison.

"This finally gives us a way to solve our land problem in Terra!"

Lin Mo followed his gaze and couldn't help but sit up straighter.

When the Great Xia signed a treaty with the four tribes of Terra, the fiefdom it received was only one thousand square kilometers.

It was sufficient when we first arrived, but with the continuous increase in factories, residences, commercial and military facilities, this space has long been inadequate.

If it weren't for the proximity to the endless sea, which allows for land reclamation, many projects wouldn't even have a place to be established.

The diplomatic team had explored the possibility of expanding the fiefdom, but the various tribes were extremely wary when it came to land. Trade and arms were negotiable, but this matter had never made any substantial progress.

The Great Xia Dynasty could not claim to respect contracts and all ethnic groups while forcibly expanding outwards.

After all, it is a magical contract, and the consequences of breaking it are beyond what Great Xia can bear.

Moreover, forcibly pushing forward would only arouse more vigilance and create division among different ethnic groups, which could easily backfire.

Now, the situation is different.

If the Orcs join the Great Xia, then the Orcs' lands naturally become the lands of the Great Xia, and therefore this contract can no longer bind the Great Xia.

Looking at the map of Terra, the vast land belonging to the orcs looked pleasing to the eye, and Zhao Lao's mouth never stopped smiling.

He sighed:

"I originally thought that it would take at least several decades or even a hundred years to integrate the various ethnic groups through exchanges, cooperation, and gradual integration."

"I didn't expect that so soon, a clan would be willing to truly become one of us."

In the past, many relocation and construction plans were stuck on land issues.

If this step can be successfully completed, the people waiting to move in and the factories lining up to be established will finally have a new place to go.

"You handled this matter exceptionally well!"

"Please feel free to make any requests or requests, and we will provide full cooperation!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo immediately replied:

"What we need most right now are grassroots working groups. Population and land registration, medical screening, and resource surveys all require professional personnel."

"No problem, I'll coordinate the working group to go to Terra to help you." Old Zhao picked up his pen and wrote down a few items on the document.

"Population, land, and existing housing must all be clearly registered."

"Hospitals and schools will be given priority, and water, roads, and food supplies will be planned in parallel. We cannot promise to give them away, but our orc people are still not seeing any changes."

"We need to bring them immediate changes, to let them know that joining our Great Xia was a wise choice!"

"Military facilities, our subsequent population relocation, and various infrastructure plans must also be considered together to avoid wasting resources."

Zhao Gang listened and took notes, while Lin Mo nodded attentively.

Old Zhao put down his pen, his tone becoming more serious.

"Regarding policies and documents, I will push for their implementation as soon as possible."

"Once the agreement and related procedures are completed, the Orcs will officially become the 57th ethnic group of the Great Xia!"

"The boundaries of the autonomous region will be determined in consultation with their representatives based on their settlement patterns."

"Land use for new projects and relocated populations should be handled in accordance with regulations, and we must not let the newly added residents suffer any injustice."

Now, Elder Zhao treats the orcs as his own people...

Lin Mo straightened his back:

"Received! We will definitely ensure all registration and transition work is carried out properly, so they know that choosing Daxia was the right choice!"

Old Zhao nodded with a smile, then looked at the dwarf's explanation.

"It seems the dwarves are wavering about joining us. Do you think there's any chance to add another race to our Great Xia?"

"The dwarves are a very good race. They have little ambition and are skilled. Once our modern education catches up, they might very well become a race specializing in industry!"

"To add a significant chapter to our modernization!"

"Understood, I will continue to follow up."

"Don't push the elves and the Holy Humans too hard either," Elder Zhao advised.

"Be careful not to overdo it; we should know when to stop while we're ahead."

Lin Mo nodded again.

At this moment, Old Zhao put down the documents, his bright eyes falling on Lin Mo, and said meaningfully:

"By the way, the Elf Queen proposed a marriage alliance between you and that young princess. What are your thoughts on this?"

Why are we back to square one again?

Lin Mo touched his nose:

"This is the first time I've ever encountered something like this."

Zhao Gang picked up his teacup, didn't say a word, but the corners of his mouth were already turned up.

Seeing Lin Mo's reaction, Old Zhao already knew what was going on and smiled:

"You're not getting any younger, it's time to consider your personal situation."

"If they like each other and don't have any conflicts, then an arranged marriage is a good thing!"

"On the one hand, it can deepen our relationship with the Elf race; on the other hand, it can also be seen as a statement from the Great Xia leadership to all races."

"Our Great Xia does not exclude any of the races of Terra; there is no racial discrimination or prejudice!"

He paused, then added:

"You have to respond to the girl's feelings seriously. You can't use a state-sponsored marriage as an excuse. After all, happiness is something you have to work for yourself. You can't break the girl's heart."
