"I come with the Queen's sincerity and goodwill. The Xiluo Empire hopes to establish a new relationship with the Orc Tribe."
After Ye Qing said this, he glanced at the reactions of the people around him.
Except for Baroque who frowned, the rest of the people didn't seem to react much. But Mr. Fu seemed like he didn't hear anything. He looked absent-minded since just now.
"New relationship? Let me emphasize that since the Highland War, we have strictly abided by the provisions of the Old Testament. We have not expanded our territory or harassed the borders of the Hero Empire. I wonder what kind of new relationship the Empire hopes to establish with us?"
At this time, it was Mou Ping who spoke first.
He pushed his glasses open and looked at Ye Qing calmly.
This made Ye Qing a little surprised. Before Mo Yue, the commander-in-chief, could speak, Mou Ping spoke first. In an environment like the Orc tribe with strict hierarchies, is there still a chance to speak freely?
These words were somewhat sarcasm, and simply meant to point out that the previous treaty was a bit harsh for the orcs.
But this was a treaty signed by the Hiero Empire, so even if they had many objections, they had no choice but to bow their heads, at least for now.
"Your Majesty hopes that the past will just pass, but the future may not be like this. I came here today to bring your Majesty's sincerity."
Ye Qing revealed his first trump card at this moment, which was also a card that he had to reveal in order to show his sincerity.
The chiefs sitting around the round table at this moment are not united. They each have their own ideas, and it is no exaggeration to say that they have ulterior motives.
"Expand your territory."
As soon as these words were spoken, the tiger chieftain Baroque slammed the table and stood up. Du Yan, who had been squinting his eyes, couldn't help but widen his eyes at this moment.
Mou Ping frowned, but Hawke didn't seem to react much to it.
Even Yourielle, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise. She looked at Ye Qing in disbelief, and then looked at the chiefs around her.
On the contrary, Mo Yue, the commander-in-chief, was quite calm at the moment, and no reaction could be seen from his face.
"Is this true?!"
Baroque clenched his fists excitedly, and his tone became a little aggressive, until Mo Yue patted his shoulder.
The other chiefs obviously wanted to ask something, but Mo Yue's words calmed them down.
"Everyone, why don't you listen to what Lord Ling has to say and see what His Majesty is planning."
As expected, as the Orcs’ commander-in-chief, he did not lose his composure because of this.
"You can expand your territory to any area within the forest. You are no longer restricted to this basin. You may even have the opportunity to acquire land outside."
Ye Qing told all this slowly, and Mo Yue asked back with a smile.
"What's the price?"
"Fight alongside the Empire and become a force for the Empire."
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the chiefs present changed.
The shadow of the Highland War was still ahead, and there was an almost irreconcilable blood feud between humans and orcs. But now Ye Qing wanted them to fight side by side with the army of the Hero Empire? !
If it were any ordinary orcs, they would probably rush over to fight with Ye Qing at this moment, but after all, everyone present were chiefs of different tribes, so they could naturally remain calm.
"...Zero, if I heard correctly, you hope that the orc tribe can cooperate with the Hiero Empire and fight side by side?"
Mo Yue seemed to be thinking about something. He placed his hands on the table and tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
"That's right. The orc tribe will enjoy all the rights of the Shiloh Empire's army. They will also be able to obtain Shiloh Empire's military ranks, enjoy the same military merits, and even become nobles, real nobles."
As soon as Ye Qing said this, the breathing of the chiefs present unconsciously became heavy.
Become a noble!
Even the impulsive Baroque was a little stunned, because they all knew what the powerful aristocrats meant.
manor!
If an orc tribe can own a fiefdom, then why should they squeeze into this damn basin without even a chance to expand?
"Does this condition include all of us?"
Mou Ping took a deep breath, and the minotaur's voice was trembling at this moment.
"If you are willing to cooperate sincerely, then you will all get the corresponding noble title immediately, but you will need to gain military merit to obtain the territory. However, the trade can be opened directly to you first, and it will be opened equally."
Ye Qing dropped another bombshell, which made the chiefs present eager to agree immediately.
Why are the orc tribes so destitute, with people like the fox people not even having enough to eat?
Chapter 94 Helplessness and Situation
In the final analysis, the Orc tribe will not gain any advantage in trade.
"During the Highland War, the order prohibited all food and weapons from being exported to us, and our crops could not be sold to the Empire normally. There was always a trade deficit. What you said about liberalizing trade..."
Mou Ping was obviously a little excited. He could almost see how much change the opening of trade would bring to the orc tribe.
The original orc highlands have become the forests of today because of the highland war decades ago. The alchemical weapons of the Hiro Empire almost flattened the original highlands.
Having lost their fertile farmland and terrain, the orcs had to live in this basin.
"Literally, food can be put aside, weapons can be put aside, and the Empire will also buy your crops at market prices, but all of this still requires the same premise, fighting alongside the Empire."
Ye Qing nodded. Even players who didn't know much about the relevant background could understand the importance of trade circulation.
It is certainly not that the orcs have not traded with humans before, but such trade was ultimately conducted in secret, with a huge cost and more money spent.
While others spend the money to buy one pound of food, the Orcs may have to spend five pounds, and they also have to be prepared for the possibility that the caravan may not arrive.
Hearing these words, even Mr. Fu, who was absent-minded, couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes seemed to be filled with hope.
When it comes to food, the fox people are in the most urgent need.
But now, there seemed to be no room for him to speak at this table.
"Lord Ling, we the orcs have gone through twenty years of hardship after all. We may not be able to chew such a pie because we don't have good teeth."
At this time, Baroque, who seemed the most impatient, said these words meaningfully.
The conditions are very good, even too good.
Whether it is being able to become a noble and own their own fiefdom, or being able to expand territory and lift trade restrictions, these are conditions that can solve the Orcs' urgent needs.
But with such good conditions, what will the orcs pay for it?
At this moment, Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh.
She opened her arms to the chiefs present and uttered two words in a concise and clear manner.
"war!"
----------
At this moment, many orcs have gathered outside the werewolf camp.
After witnessing Ye Qing walk into the largest tent, many orcs felt quite confused, and some even spread rumors that humans were going to attack the orcs' "highlands" again.
The natural result was that countless orcs heard the news and took action, but no one dared to go beyond the line.
Even at the entrance of the werewolf camp, there were only two guards holding spears, but no orc dared to step forward.
"What's going on? Why are there so many people gathered here?"
After knowing that Ye Qing had entered the tent, Mang rushed over. She looked at the people around her with some curiosity and did not react for a moment to what was happening.
What's more, there were three layers of camps here, but no one dared to step into the werewolf camp, which made Mang unable to understand.
"Humph, the humans might be about to attack us, why are you still acting so stupid!"
The wild boar man next to him was quite furious when he saw Mang's look, and there was a hint of anger in his words.
Humans are coming...
Mang suddenly remembered the expedition team that Ye Qing had told her about, and she became nervous as well.
However, her father has not yet informed his tribe, and Ye Qing has not said anything. Shouldn't this news be top secret? Why is it causing such a stir now?
With this thought in mind, Mang quickly asked again.
"Ah? Are we mobilizing now? Preparing for war?!"
These words stumped the wild boar man.
He immediately began to stammer and seemed quite impatient. In the end, he only said, "What do the fox people know?" and then waved his hand to drive Mang away.
Although Mang might not be considered the smart one, she was not so "bewitched" by such words, so she couldn't help but be cautious.
Could it be that he wants to harm Lord Ling?
This terrible thought suddenly came to Mang's mind. She looked around, looked at the orcs around her, and hurried back to the fox camp.
But at this time, both Ye Qing and the people of Xingchen had received the notification that the mission was completed.
Mo Yue was signing his name on an agreement at the table, biting his finger to leave a fingerprint.
After him, the chiefs present also stepped forward, signed their names according to the order of the tribe, and pressed their bloody fingerprints.
This agreement is certainly not just an agreement. The ink used for writing and the paper on which the font is written are special. As long as your name is signed and you swear with blood, it will have the effect of being enforceable.
If you break your oath, the price will be no different from losing your life.
And the reason why Ye Qing was able to convince these chiefs, including Mo Yue, was naturally because he used the best "rhetoric".
war.
Not only the Shiloh Empire is longing for a war that will sweep across the western continent, but the orcs living in the basin are also longing for it.
They haven't experienced war for twenty years, and there has been no blood and fire to forge their glory.
The beastmen who were born for war have suppressed their nature for twenty years! !
Although they had a blood feud in the past, they can now put aside their hatred and fight side by side. This is definitely not just about interests.
Even the commander-in-chief Mo Yue couldn't help but lick his lips after learning the plan, with a strong desire revealed in his pupils.
The usually calm commander-in-chief was like this, and the others were naturally even more intense.
After Baroque of the Tiger Man and Du Yan of the Boar Man signed, they imitated human etiquette and shook hands with Ye Qing, and couldn't stop laughing.
"I never thought that the arrival of humans could bring such good news."
Youri Aili also walked to Ye Qing with a light smile. She seemed to be quite interested in Ye Qing from the very beginning. Now after signing the agreement, her favorability level has exceeded seventy.
The colors of the chiefs present also changed from the initial "clear yellow" to the current green color which symbolizes friendship.
"Dear Chief Yuri Aili, please believe me, our cooperation in the future will only bring more good news."
Ye Qing smiled and shook hands with Youri Aili. At the moment of shaking hands, Youri Aili's eyes were always staring at Ye Qing, but Ye Qing did not show any abnormality. Instead, he looked back at her with a smile.
This made Youri, who had been staring at her just now, stunned for a moment. Her cheeks seemed to flush a little, and she quickly let go of Ye Qing's hand.
Although no one knew what Yourielle was thinking, the next person to come was Mou Ping from the Tauren tribe. He did not shake hands with Ye Qing, but bowed to Ye Qing.
"Lord Zero, even though we Tauren love peace, we have to admit that in this situation, you have pointed out a way out for all of us Orcs."
The Tauren used to be a race famous for their farming. Now that the Orcs are finally able to provide themselves with some food, it is largely due to the abilities of the Tauren.
But no one knows how much pressure Mouping has been under during these twenty years.
They could do nothing to help their fellow tribesmen who were starving to death, and they themselves were strapped for cash if they wanted to share some of the food.
"That's too much, Chief Mouping. I just hope you can help comfort the people more next time."
Ye Qing shook her head. She was merely acting as a bridge of communication and was not worthy of such heavy thanks.
But no matter what, the chiefs present expressed their gratitude to Ye Qing, and at the same time took the lead in walking out of the tent and began to comfort the people who were surrounded outside.
Only when the two Mo Yue brothers and Ye Qing were left in the tent did the three of them sit down at the round table again.
However, this time, Mo Yue did not sit in the main seat opposite Ye Qing again, but sat next to Ye Qing and sighed with emotion.
"You are worthy of being the shadow minister who supported the queen to ascend to the throne. With just a few words, you convinced the chiefs who I have been unable to convince for so many years."
Mo Yue's "true feelings" at this moment did not surprise Ye Qing. In fact, Ye Qing had noticed it since entering the werewolf camp.
There were a lot of human-oriented clothing, there were basically no beast-like werewolves, and there was also Mo Yue, the commander-in-chief, but only his eyes remained beastly.
The other chiefs more or less maintained their natural bestial state, but the two brothers Mo Yue seemed to deliberately maintain their human form.
"...Minister Shadow's statement is exaggerated, but I think Commander Mo Yue is also dedicated to finding a way out for the orcs, so his difficulties are understandable."
Ye Qing smiled and shook his head. This statement was definitely not brought back by the lousy spy Mang, and it was highly likely that there were still some "nails" in the empire.
