Dust of History Chapter 8: Fist and head

The corpses of the former King Brown and Lord Chancellor Roscoe were not taken away, and they were piled up beside the wall like two piles of rubbish. The meeting resumes. The leaders of other tribes besides the five major tribes were also invited.

The lizardman patriarch came in with Prince Taize, and sat at the meeting table with other tribal leaders. The unconscious leader of the Hari clan was carried away, and his son, King Brown's cousin, took his place at the council. When the king's cousin was first arrested and told that the throne had changed, he still yelled: "This is usurpation." But he fell silent as soon as he saw the bodies of Brown and Rothko.

The tribal leaders who came in behind were also shocked when they saw the two corpses. But they were not afraid of the two corpses, but thought of the shadow sage behind the two corpses. But Gru's explanation immediately changed their panic into doubt and fear. Throwing the token that the shadow sage hung around his head and neck in his hand, he lightly said to everyone: "Don't worry. I promise that he will never appear in front of you again." Then he didn't look back. Looking back, he walked out of the hall.

Taize also went straight from prince to king. Because it was an extraordinary period, and he was also the only male legal heir to the current royal family, so even if no formal ceremony was held, the chiefs of the Tatalia tribe, who were originally rough, didn't think there was anything wrong.

Of course, the reason why they don't have any opinion may not be just because of these. The two corpses in the corner of the wall are indeed very convincing.

"Maybe some of you will think in your heart that I let outsiders interfere in Tatalia's affairs, which is traitorous. I know this is what all Tatalia people hate and hate the most. But I think you also understand in your heart , If my brother is allowed to sit in this position all the time, what will it mean to Taitalia? I have no choice but to do this." Taize talked to the tribal leaders, although his appearance does look ugly , even a little funny, but every gesture is calm and unhurried, plain and easy to accept, but at the same time there is a faint taste that people cannot refuse. This kind of temperament and demeanor is indeed what a leader must have. "And General Grew is just here to help me at my invitation. He will leave immediately, and Oufu will never interfere in any affairs of Tatalia in the future. So please accept my rather extreme approach. "

Except for the Hari tribe, all the leaders nodded slightly to express their acceptance, and many of them had smiles on their faces, which contrasted sharply with the mourning portraits on the faces of the sons of the Hari tribe leaders. When the king changes positions, the status of the always domineering Hari tribe will naturally plummet, and the benefits that were originally monopolized by them will be shared. Even if it is indeed an extreme approach, it immediately appears peaceful and friendly under such concrete measures that win the hearts of the people. And in fact, King Taize is indeed ten times more capable than his brother, and he is indeed more suitable for this position.

The new king Taize went on to say: "Now I convene this meeting to discuss one thing with you. I am going to make an alliance between Tatalia and Euph. Regardless of whether you want to discuss this decision with General Grew Please think about the benefits that Oufu has brought to our Tatalia.”

A tribal leader immediately said: "Only during the period after the establishment of Oufu, because of the active trade, our clan's income has doubled."

Another tribal leader also nodded and said: "The sales of ore have also improved. Because of the convenient transportation to Oufu, we can directly supply the goods to merchants in other countries. Without the intermediate links, we can earn a lot of money." There are more gold coins."

"With Oufu as a transfer, you don't need to smuggle to Erasia secretly, you can earn gold coins from Erasia's **** in a fair and honest way."

"And we are the closest country to Oufu. The development of Oufu is really fast, faster than the weeds in my yard."

The tribal leaders nodded. It's always easy to cheer up when it comes to talking about gold coins.

"But Erasia has stopped dealing with Oufu now." The oldest old man among the leaders spoke. clear. His words expressed the scruples in everyone's heart. "Everyone knows that Oufu's current situation is not good. Although I have to admit that we have gained a lot of benefits from Oufu, will there be such benefits in the future? Furthermore, we need to fight for it. To offend other religious countries?"

Many leaders nodded in agreement. This is a fact. National alliances are not as simple as children's friendships, but the interests are considered.

King Taize nodded slowly to the old man, and said, "Your words, Chief Trosha, are not bad. But from my point of view, Oufu's situation is not bad, but very bad. To put it more seriously, it can even be called dangerous."

"Everyone must still remember that Pope Magnus once expressed dissatisfaction with Oufu. Now it is said that due to some people's deliberate framing, the relationship between Oufu and the surrounding religious countries is already very tense. Mr. Delos has no intention of war and has tried his best to mediate, but the war may just happen sooner or later." King Taize looked at the tribal leaders, and his voice became heavier and heavier. "The latest news is that the Pope of Celeste summoned several cardinals a few days ago. Although no one knows the content of the meeting, I heard that a cardinal said afterwards that the Pope is now on the mainland. Those blasphemy beasts and pagan countries were very dissatisfied with the rampant behavior. Then dozens of Templars and several Templars originally stationed in Glory Castle almost came out and scattered to various religious countries.”

There was a commotion among the leaders. The smell of war smoke and blood in this news seemed to reverberate in the hall. A tribal leader said to Taize: "You know this is the situation, so why do you want to form an alliance with them?"

"The pope's words may only be aimed at Oufu. Although we have always had some small conflicts with Erasia, haven't they really attacked us?"

King Taize sighed, his heavy expression could make the chiefs feel clearly even through the ugly and funny facial features. "Even if he only targeted Oufu. I don't think you are short-sighted and indiscriminate idiots. Please think about it, if Oufu really fell under the siege of the surrounding religious countries and was occupied, then what will happen next?" What about?"

"What will happen next?" The leaders whispered to each other. Only the elder of the Trosha tribe thought about it, his old face trembling a few times. "You mean they will deal with us next?"

King Taize nodded. "Yes. The value of Oufu, the central city in the barbaric highlands, has been proven. Moreover, the orcs led by Sedros have established Oufu so well. And the buildings there are almost all made of rock, no matter what kind of It is impossible for the battle to completely turn Oufu into ruins. So after they win, they will definitely take Oufu as their own. And when the wild highlands become the church's sphere of influence, how will they deal with the only one who has a territory on the highlands? And what about Tatalia, which is the closest to Oufu?"

"We are not afraid of those church pigs at all, let them come if they want to come." The leader of a barbarian tribe roared immediately. "I'm going to strip those white-robed pigs alive and wear them on stakes like last time."

"Just this is enough to be a reason to go to war with us." King Taize looked at this courageous leader and shook his head slightly, sighing. The folk customs of Tatalia are simple and brave, and this leader can be a representative. "I have never doubted the courage and strength of our Tatalia fighters. But after so many years of confrontation with Erasia, I don't need to explain in detail. Everyone knows the strength gap between the two countries. It's just because of the large The swampy terrain makes Erathia's army extremely uncomfortable, and the land and resources of Tatalia are not rare for them, and it is not worth letting them fight to the death with our many warriors who are ready to sacrifice to defend their homeland, so We can still sit here now. And if they find it necessary to eradicate us, and then unite with other religious countries to attack all the way from the direction of the highlands... then maybe it will be the time for us to perish."

As soon as His Majesty's words fell, there was a roar from the leaders' mouths: "Let those church pigs have their **** daydreams. I will let the one who dares to step into Tatalia alone Teach a pig to **** ax."

"The warriors of the swamp cannot be destroyed. We will use the last drop of blood to protect our homeland."

"I'm going to stab those broken crosses into their assholes, and then force them to lick them clean." The tribal leaders all made a noise, and a few temper tantrums slapped the meeting table loudly, as far as one could imagine The most vicious words curse Erathia and all religious nations.

King Taize didn't care about these rough warriors, but quietly looked at the leaders of the four major tribes who were not so excited. Those who can sit in this position are obviously much calmer than others. King Taize said to them again in a very strong tone: "So I said that we have no choice but to form an alliance with Oufu."

"But what if we form an alliance? Can we and Oufu resist Erasia and so many religious countries?" Chief Trosha said slowly with the tone and thinking unique to the elderly. "Think of other ways."

"There is no other way. The only way out is: I think if we submit to Erathia and become a vassal state, of course we must submit to the church. They should not refuse. In this way, we can naturally You don’t need to fight them, you just have to submit to them in the future...” King Taize slightly raised his voice intentionally or unintentionally, ensuring that every tribal leader could hear him.

"Impossible." The roar in the hall immediately became ten times louder.

"Absolutely impossible. Do you want us to surrender to those church pigs who are stupider than lizards and more disgusting than dragonflies?"

"Kneel down and pray in front of the lumps of wood with those pigs? No, I swear in the name of my ancestors, this kind of thing will never happen in the swamp country." This approach made me jump up. For a moment, the hall was filled with angry roars.

The patriarch of the lizardmen who hadn't spoken all this time suddenly said: "If Taitalia wants to submit to the church, then I will first lead my people to leave Taitalia and join Oufu." His voice and expression were still lizard Human beings lack temperature and change indifference, but everyone can see that he can definitely do what he says. Now that His Majesty the Pope has stated that he will deal with all blasphemous demihumans, even if Taitalia surrenders, he and his people are likely to die.

"This method really won't work..." Chief Trosha coughed hard, trying to raise his voice so as not to be drowned out by the surrounding roars. Although his own sober and smooth mind felt that it didn't matter if he gave in on the surface, he also knew that other patriarchs and his own people would never agree. He stood up and waved his hands, making the others quieter, and asked King Taize again slowly and forcefully: "Even if we form an alliance with Oufu, can the result be better than this?"

The leaders all fell silent, looking at the king and waiting for this answer.

King Taize was also silent for a moment. He glanced at the corner intentionally or unintentionally, and said, "I think it's better to have faith in them." Go through those two corpses again.

The excitable chiefs are getting a little excited again.

In fact, this meeting has almost always been shrouded in a strange atmosphere. The two corpses always reminded the people present of what happened just now, and everyone's mind was shaking the back of the shadow card that once made them tremble. This is especially true for those chiefs who admire force and fear and fear the shadow sages.

The Shadow Sage rarely shows himself in public, nor does he show any favors to anyone except those he deems necessary. But once someone offends him, the end will be miserable. So except for King Brown's faction of the royal family who worshiped him as a god, everyone else respected him out of a fear of mystery and magic.

Now this fear of the strong has been passed on to the one who killed him, especially when he knows that he may stand on the same side as himself. Although as a patriarch, everyone should think carefully, but as a warrior, who would not want to have the opportunity to fight side by side with such a man?

"Everyone, don't forget that the 5,000 soldiers of the Ainfast Empire ran for thousands of miles. As a result, Oufu killed none of the 5,000 elites without even injuring a single orc. Their stratagems and means." King Taize brings up the allusion aptly. "The Einfast Empire has signed a peace covenant with Oufu. The dwarves in the Calendor Basin have always had a good relationship with them. Their situation is not in a mess. After all, the orcs can occupy the battle on the wild highlands." Absolute advantage."

"And you know, the church pigs are not all fanatical fanatics. They are cowardly and weak when they see too much blood, and they can't change when they see too much corpses. When it comes to the benefits they deserve, those politicians who are extremely devout will immediately temporarily forget their God and switch to economically rational thinking. Because their God will not really appear to give them soldiers and gold coins. Then They will reconsider whether it is necessary to continue such a war. Does Erasia really dare to lose the country's troops on the wild highlands? Do they dare not be wary of Negan? Does that woman Catherine want her bedroom to be destroyed by eagles? The banshees used it as a nest, hoping that the minotaurs would rush into her boudoir and **** her?" King Taize gradually raised his voice, his voice became more and more cadenced, and his eyes gradually fell on the faces of the excitable leaders. His originally ugly and funny face has also become lively, and every facial feature and tone of voice cooperate to arouse the emotions of those who listen to him. "And what about the church? What can the church do alone? Without the support of so many religious countries, isn't Celeste just an idiot place who doesn't even know how to earn gold coins or how to make a loaf of bread? Can the pastor pray for bread and gold coins by praying? So in the end, the old man Magnus had to take back what he said because of dementia, admit Oufu, and admit us Taitalia."

The king paused and took a deep breath. Then he said in a tone full of fighting spirit and strength: "This is not only our crisis, but also our good opportunity. It is an opportunity for the entire continent to see the strength and courage of our Tatalia. We will survive this crisis Stand up and become a kingdom that no one can ignore. In the future, even the knights with eyes on the top of their heads in Erasia will shudder at the mere mention of the name of the warriors of the wetlands."

"Okay. On behalf of the entire Fut tribe, I fully support the alliance with Oufu." A barbarian patriarch with patterns painted on his face shouted. "I am willing to shed the last drop of blood for the rise of the great wetland country."

"Yes, I support it too." The other patriarchs also rushed to express their passionate support. For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was high, and even the two patriarchs of the five major tribes seemed a little excited. Although they knew that these matters should not be decided so emotionally, but as warriors of the Wetland Kingdom, they couldn't help being excited.

What's more, even if it is rationally analyzed, it seems that there is no other good way to do it. Maybe it's worth the gamble. The patriarch of the Trosha tribe sighed, and was finally the last one to express his support under the urging of the surrounding patriarchs. Thus, the alliance proposals of Tatalia and Oufu were all passed.

A few tens of miles away from the Tatalia Palace, Gru is flying a Wyvern with a young human being leaving the country towards Oufu. The specific matters of the alliance still have to wait for Sedros to discuss and implement it.

"Are you relieved to leave like this?" the young man asked. "At least we should wait until it is confirmed that Prince Taize has fully grasped the situation..."

"I believe he should be fine." Gru said lightly.

"Oh." The young man stopped talking.

Gru nodded slightly in his heart. This is indeed a very smart and capable person. He is the secret agent that Oufu arranged to gather intelligence in Tatalia. That is, the big report he wrote to Gru. With those materials and Cedros's endless plan, Gru fully grasped the situation of the country of Tatalia, and was able to grasp the most important key point and make it work~IndoMTL.com~In addition, there is Taize's ability is the only way to complete such a major event in such a short period of time in the most efficient way that has reversed the situation and direction of this country.

No matter how powerful the fist is, it is useless without brains.

But Gru's expression is not the slightest relaxed now, his mind is still hanging on elsewhere. Because he knew that compared with his effortless simplification here, although the negotiating and mediation on Erasia's side does not know how to fight and kill, but the verbal diplomacy without the slightest smell of blood may be a hundred times more difficult and a thousand times more dangerous .

Because there are no fists over there, only brains. And a mind without a fist is undoubtedly the most dangerous, because someone may take the opportunity to chop it off.

At the same time, in Erathia's palace.

"Oufut sent Sir Borugan to meet Her Majesty the Empress." The herald's voice and articulation, which were originally the best in the country, were a little awkward because of this ridiculous and mouthful title.

A diminutive figure strode up the red-carpeted steps in an outfit that seemed to try to appear as dignified as possible. Suddenly he stepped on the cloak he was pulling on the ground, and he rolled and fell from it like a gourd.
