Chapter 269 Why did you entrust half of the people to me?
Since Sieglin swore not to let Fuchs enter his clan's territory, and Fuchs also regarded Sieglin's people as dirty things, they finally chose the wilderness, which was relatively close to the headquarters of both clans, as the location for negotiation.
At first glance, this kind of meeting might be thought to be a meeting between the two sides of the war. It was a preview for Lan of what might happen next.
A scrawled piece of natural rock the size of a millstone served as a conference table. But there is no need for it to exist at this moment, because it is more like a ring than a conference table, and the leaders of the two clans have jumped on it and are about to fight.
And Lan now also vaguely understood from the content of the argument between the two, why it was clearly a battle between two clans fighting against the monster before, but it vaguely turned into a three-way melee.
"Zygrin has been coveting our 'Bottomless Pit of Davor'. When they heard the news that the monsters were not cleared away during the general cleaning, they immediately ran over and said they would help us clean up the monsters, but who did the 'big cleaning'? Will you bring building materials?"
"They just wanted to find an excuse to build a gathering place in the mine and occupy our Fuchs territory. But they didn't expect that monsters actually emerged from the mine, which ruined their dream. Ha, a bunch of fools with their brains hammered!"
The bottomless pit of Davor is the mine where Sharma kept emerging in the previous battles. It is a rare open-pit diamond mine in Mahakam with rich output. Although the ore mined by Mahakam must be handed over to Carbon Mountain for public use, the resources in the mine will not be the private property of the clan, but owning the mining rights of this kind of mine can also strengthen the clan’s influence in Mahakam. The right to speak.
"Has your tongue been pinched by the tongs, damn Fuchs!" Chief Ziegelin shouted angrily, "The bottomless pit of Davor was developed by our two clans together. When did it become your Fuchs mine?" There’s a hole!”
Patriarch Fuchs argued with reason: “When the Great Elder made the allocation, he gave us Fuchs the bottomless pit of Davor. As compensation, you also have more quotas in the ‘Pond of Davor’, right? !"
As he spoke, Chief Fuchs jumped hard and motioned to the man-made lake under his feet that was formed by the interception of the dam.
"The Pond of Davor is so big, does the quota make sense? When have you ever fetched water and fished according to the quota?" The two
clan leaders who saw them grabbed each other's collars, and then started to punch each other. It's a drama. The clan warriors brought behind them also had evil looks in their eyes, fearing that a melee was about to take place.
Lann sighed silently in his heart and gave Gabo a signal with his eyes, hoping that as the great elder's messenger, he could help separate the two clan leaders.
This is really not the occasion for Lan, an outsider, to speak. It's not that he doesn't have this ability, but that he is worried that he will be involved in the feud between the two clans and lose his position as a third party. Once this is started, it will become very troublesome to communicate with various clans and even with the great elders.
Lann even felt that the two clan leaders were deliberately putting on a show in front of him, trying to lure him into getting involved. After this period of getting along, he has added the word "cunning" to his impression of dwarves.
It was naturally impossible for Gabo to ignore Lan's eyes. In fact, even he himself did not want to get involved in the conflict between his clan and Fuchs after taking office in Carbon Mountain. Too bad responsibility now rests on his shoulders.
"Clan leader, and Fuchs...Clan leader." Gabo tightened his waistcoat and took a step forward, "Our guest is still here, and his time is tight." Clan leader
Qie Gelin immediately shouted: "Gabo Bo, how can you speak for outsiders!"
After receiving Gabo's "respectful title", Chief Fuchs seemed to have won. He shook his head and let go of Chief Siegelin, and took a step back.
"We Fuchs don't like to mess around as much as the Ziglin people. Carrying out another general cleaning is the most important thing now. Every time we quarrel now, the situation may become worse because of our delay. Points..."
"Sure enough, your tongue was cut off by the fire pliers. Now do you know how to talk nonsense!" Chief Qie Gelin became more and more jumpy.
Seeing that the conversation between the two parties finally turned to business, Lann finally stepped forward: "I believe that both clan leaders have read the letter from the great elder, and have also learned about the previous battles through the warriors in their own clans. "
Lan was talking about the previous battle where he slaughtered the dragon lizards and then burned all the Sharmas to death. The two patriarchs obviously knew this. Although they still had doubts about Lann's true combat power because they had not seen Lann's battle scene with their own eyes, their expressions still became serious.
"The two clan leaders asked the great elder for help because they were short of manpower." Lann said softly, "Now that we are here, the problem should be solved." "The soldiers in
my team and I are proficient in defeating monsters. . But we also need the help of the two clan leaders to let us know what kind of monsters are here and where they gather. Not only do we need to carry out a 'spring cleaning', we also need to eradicate the roots." Lan En pointedly said
. Said: "This is also to relieve the worries of the soldiers who leave home in the future, so that they don't have to worry about their families being harmed by the threat of monsters when they are away." The guards wearing standard lion armor stood behind their dukes
. He stood upright and puffed up his chest in response to Lan En's words.
Chief Zyglin and Chief Fuchs looked at Lann, who looked humble and spoke confidently, and then glanced at the troops behind him. Their spirit and momentum were indeed elite without a doubt.
...
The area where the Sieglin and Fuchs clans live is called "Davor".
The Fuchs clan's activity area is a series of mines connected by the "Davor Bottomless Pit". The place where Lann and others fought before was the exit of one of the branch roads.
The Siegelin clan is responsible for several independent mines, and some clan members are responsible for the cultivation of underground mushrooms, hunting in the black pine forest, etc. Compared with the Fuchs clan, it is richer.
The task of Lann and his team is to work with the dwarves of the two clans to destroy the monster nests around their respective survival paths to ensure that the dwarves who go out to work will not be harmed again.
But when making plans with Lann and his party, Chief Ziglin came up with unexpected opinions.
"Our Sieglin is actually not affected that much. Those scattered monsters are far less troublesome than the monsters that burst out of the bottomless pit of Davor like exploding nests. The Duke should focus his main attention on Fuchs and the others. "
This almost condescending gesture, not to mention Lann and others, even shocked the people of the Fuchs clan. These dwarves looked at the Zyglin clan leader with suspicion, always feeling that the other party was brewing some conspiracy.
But since even Patriarch Qie Gelin himself has made the decision and Gabo can't persuade him, it's natural that Lann and others can't say much.
So Lann took most of his detachment's combat power and followed the Fuchs clan deep into the bottomless pit of Davor. Geralt took a few people to follow the Zigrin clan to participate in their general cleaning for the sake of safety. How much was provided? A little bit of demon hunting advice.
"I think there's something wrong inside." Before they separated, Geralt went to Lann to discuss it softly. "Even if it's like Zyglin's people said, they are lucky and are not affected by monsters as much as Fuchs. But according to the two of them, Judging from the current relationship between the two clans, it is far from being able to make this kind of 'humility'. Who would dislike having too many reinforcements and giving them to the enemy?"
"They should be rushing us to allocate more manpower to Zyglin." "
But they did ask for help from Carbon Mountain before." Lann frowned and thought, "Geralt, how many days ago did you In my ten-year career as a witcher, have you ever encountered a situation like issuing a witcher commission, only to cancel it at the end?"
Bai Lang thought for a while and said: "There are quite a few - think on the bright side, That is, the monsters that originally harassed them are gone, and there is no need to hunt monsters anymore. Thinking at the worst, they need to use those monsters to achieve their goals, so they don’t want to get too close to us and let the plan be exposed." "These
situations Does it cause you any trouble?"
"If you turn around and leave, nothing will happen." "
We can't just turn around and leave." Lann sighed, "What do you think if it's the second time? If this happens, what purpose does the Zigrin clan hope to achieve through those monsters?"
Geralt thought for a while, shook his head, and asked Lan for his opinion: "What do you think?"
Lan was speechless. The dark golden lion eyes only looked in the direction of the Fuchs clan.
"I can't believe it, they are dwarves... But if something like this really happens, which side are we going to be on?" Geralt hesitated, "Or are we going to pretend we don't know anything and just leave like this?"
"We can only stand on the side of the dwarves, Geralt." Lann mused, "I will have more contact with Fuchs's side, and you will also follow up with Zyglin's side. Wait until they come back after their general cleaning and come back with me carefully Let’s talk about what happened – I hope our worries are all unnecessary.”
…
After Gabo said a brief goodbye to Lann, he left with his clan companions. Geralt nodded towards Lan, indicating that he could rest assured.
On the other hand, the people of the Fuchs clan didn't know why they still stayed near the Davor Pond. They seemed to be in no hurry to return to their clan, but were discussing something.
After a while, Petrit Fuchs, who had been rescued by Lann in the battle at the mine entrance, came over, accompanied by the leader of his clan.
"Haha, Duke Lannister!" The bearded dwarf's voice was heard in the distance. His laughter was like a steel hammer hitting an iron ingot, resolute and heroic.
"I haven't been able to formally introduce you to you before. This is our clan leader - Tomor Fuchs."
Then there was a louder laugh than Petrit: "You can just call me Tomor. Don't use those intrusive etiquette, dwarves don't care about that kind of thing!" "
I haven't officially thanked you for saving Petrit and his team in the mine! That battle was dangerous enough just to hear it, even though I didn't see it with my own eyes. I don't know how you chopped down those monsters, but I absolutely believe that we can wipe out those brainless things with your help!" Tomor Fuchs's
beard is the longest among all the dwarves, and it is tied on top Several iron rings were placed to prevent it from flying away, but instead it was like a big broom, swaying as Tomor spoke.
"You just said there is no need for etiquette, and now you are so polite to me." Lan En smiled and said modestly, "As for helping - that is exactly the purpose of why I agreed to the great elder to come here. And I believe that even without my presence , Petrit can also handle such a scene."
"Ha." Tomor shook his broom-like beard, "I'm not worried about Petrit being able to deal with those monsters, but It's different when Zeglin is here, those guys..."
Tomor's eyes showed anger, and Petrit also began to express his anger with the same hatred.
It was difficult for Lan to express his opinion on this topic, so he could only try to change the topic: "Mr. Tomor, I wonder if the Great Elder's letter..."
Lan's voice was long and full of questions and expectations. Visible to the naked eye, Tomor's emotions that were ignited by the Zigrin clan have dissipated.
The bearded patriarch looked around and then winked at Perelli.
The loud-voiced dwarf foreman immediately understood what the clan leader meant, and ran to the side with his short legs, and began to gather his compatriots to pack their things, leaving an open space for Lan and the clan leader.
"Duke Lannister... I already understand what the great elder means. You deal with the monsters for us in exchange for the peace of our clan, and we send young men to form a regiment to help your country. Then according to each of our clans, we send young men to Quantity, I will help you transfer the corresponding drawings to the Great Elder, right?"
Tomor blew his beard: "This process... is not pleasant."
"You said it very directly." Lann couldn't help but chuckle. , Tomor Fuchs was not as secretive as the Great Elder, "But that's probably the situation."
Tomor shook his head, glanced in the direction of his people again, lowered his voice and asked: "Lannister Duke, I don’t know if your country is called ‘Cintra’, right? How many young men does it need?”
Lann raised his eyebrows, suddenly feeling that the attitude of the leader of Tomor was... very ambiguous.
Could it be?
The next second, Lan heard Tomor say seriously: "If possible, Duke Lannister. I want to entrust half of the Fuchs boys to you." "And, I also want to ask you to help us
. ..." Tomor stepped on the slightly moist soil under his feet, "...Help us blow up the dam of the 'Davao Pond', and let the waves from the Yaruga River flow into my 'Davao' Bottomless pit', completely destroy this place!"
An apology needs to be made regarding the recent update issues. Due to work and study issues, my time for coding has been compressed, so the number of words in each chapter has been reduced to a certain extent.
The current minimum number of updates is 4,000 per day. Occasionally, when inspiration breaks out or to maintain the continuity of the plot, the number will be increased to more than 5,000.
Don't worry about eunuchs. I have talked about my future plans for this book in the book club: I have a complete outline, the grades are acceptable, and I will write it down to ensure it is completed. Otherwise, I myself would feel at a loss.
Since the beginning of writing this book, there have been various discussions and questions with and without curse words. Originally, I didn’t want to care about the negative voices in the comment section. But yesterday I saw that several book friends who have been encouraging me are beginning to worry about the follow-up of this book, so I feel the need to explain it.
This is my first book, and I have high expectations for it; I am also grateful to the book friends who like this book and have always encouraged me, and I don’t want to disappoint everyone.
From a utilitarian point of view, I don’t want to waste everyone’s subscriptions or consume my personal credibility. I want to continue writing books in the future, and there are many other stories in my mind.
So hereby explain.
above.
