Chapter 24 Banquet
A group of people came to the harem garden with anxiety. In the center of the huge open space, a large round table was covered with various delicacies. The maid in charge of serving tea and water dishes shuttled back and forth to arrange all the delicacies on the table.
The Beast King and Lien were sitting together and seemed to be discussing what was going on. When they saw the staff members entering the garden door, they all stood up and came to greet them.
"Your Majesty, the Beast God, has met His Majesty and His Excellency the Divine Envoy!"
The big and small staff members didn't dare to neglect and saluted one after another. After the Beast King finished speaking, he stood up and pretended to be surprised and asked: "What's going on? There are major injuries and minor injuries. Is there an assassin in our palace?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that the assassin has been subdued." Lien said happily.
The staff officers, who had been ashamed after hearing the Beast King's words, wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in after listening to Lien's words.
Seeing their awkward appearance, Lott, who had been silent behind them, helped them out, "My God, you two, please stop laughing at them, otherwise they may waste today's delicious food."
"Oh? This is really possible. Okay, I know you guys can't let it go. Today is a private banquet. Don't be restrained. Just find your own seat. The host today is not me, the emperor, but the envoy of God, His Excellency Lien. Relax.
Just click. Today, let’s put down the airs between the king and his ministers and have a good time!” After saying this, the Beast King patted several staff officers on the shoulders in good faith.
The orc staff members were flattered and sat down each, looking at the delicious food in front of them but still had no appetite. The beast king was so shrewd and gave Lien a wink. After Lien understood, he picked up the knife and fork and gave it a light tap, and the clear sound was successful.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
"Okay, everyone, don't be tempted by the royal delicacies. Although I can't wait to eat something now, I need to tell you a few words before I start eating."
Lien stood on the stool, first saluted the Beast King and said: "First of all, I would like to thank Your Majesty for giving me this opportunity, so that you can take time out of your busy schedule to see me, a person who likes to give you problems, and I must be in your eyes.
The old fox has already taught you a lesson, so I won’t say more because I’m not as calculating as he is.”
Seeing the disgusted look on Lien's face, all the staff present were laughing secretly, and the atmosphere at the scene was no longer as depressing as it was at the beginning.
"Today I use this banquet to have a good chat with you. To put it simply, I mean to talk about what is in my heart. If holding it in my heart affects future events, the military judge's whip is not something ordinary people can bear. Although you guys
These guys are all typical rough-skinned and tough-bodied guys who are not afraid of being beaten. I guess the old fox thinks so too."
Lien finished speaking with a smile on his face, and all the staff on the table also smiled heartily. Although they all called Lagar Old Fox behind their backs, not many people could say it so confidently in public, and Lien was
The messenger of the Beast God, and also the founder of the academy, it was natural for him to be called Old Fox Lagar. With Lien's involvement, the atmosphere at the scene had become much more relaxed.
"Okay, let's talk for now. I'm already drooling. Your Majesty, shall we start now?" Lien asked the Beast Emperor for his permission again, and the Beast Emperor nodded and said he could start.
After everyone prayed, they began to eat the delicacies on the table. After eating for a while, the atmosphere in the place became a bit dull again. Lien picked something for himself to feel the atmosphere, and then coughed lightly and said: "Everyone
You can lend me your ears temporarily."
"Of course, your mouths don't need to be idle. It's rare to eat such delicious food. It would be a pity if you don't eat it quickly."
The staff members burst into laughter. There were still food residues on Lien's face. He seemed not to have noticed. Coupled with Lien's slightly funny expression, the staff officers present finally put down their previous burdens and fully devoted themselves.
open.
"Okay, actually everyone understands that this is not a simple banquet. I won't hide it from everyone. I went to the Human Empire a few days ago, the Gary Empire that is rich in food. I believe you have also got the news. I understand.
What happened."
Everyone nodded. The information transmission channels established by the empire are being improved. The staff are aware of the main things that happened during Lien's mission to the Gary Empire.
Including the attack on the orc forest, city gate negotiations, execution of the mercenary group, defense against night attacks and negotiations and other related matters, relevant records are available for review in the confidential room. The staff department pays attention to the news, so naturally it will not be missed.
"The Human Empire and our Orc Empire had many wars after the Anti-Magic War. As everyone knows, we lost miserably. They were well-equipped, had a large and united army, were strong as clouds, and had many tricks. At that time
The orcs did not think of a second thought other than rushing forward with enthusiasm, which made us weaker and weaker as we fought, and in the end we paid a heavy price."
What Lean talked about was history that the staff knew, and previous wars were also used as case studies by them. Knowing shame and then being brave was a lesson Lean taught them.
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. Come, let's have a drink first and wish the Orc Empire glory forever!"
"The Orc Empire! Glory to all ages!"
The wine was drained, and the staff members were quietly waiting for Lien's next words, "Speaking of which, I am also a human being, right, Your Majesty."
"Do you still dare to say that you are human now? The messenger I saw has the heart of an orc!" The Beast Emperor directly affirmed Lien's status without teasing.
"The Beast God has favored me and the Beast King has given me a gift. Li En is grateful."
After speaking, Li En gave the Beast Emperor a nod in return. He turned around and continued, "I have been like this since fifteen years ago. At first, people may not believe me and even question my status as a divine envoy.
However, after so many years, I believe everyone can trust me, Lien. Even if I no longer have the title of God's Envoy, I believe everyone can still trust me. I don't think I have any doubt about this."
When they said this, the expressions of the Beast King and Lott changed, but they quickly covered up their past. Everyone focused on Lien's words. Not many people noticed this scene, but
The staff officers nodded affirmatively.
"Everyone has been working as a staff officer for different lengths of time, and they all probably understand what this position means. I have never questioned the bloody nature of the orcs, but the bloody nature has caused us to suffer huge losses, so we need to regain our sense. There are no invitations today.
The general who leads the army, but invites you, the pillars of wisdom and reason, to implore you to keep your cool heads."
"Because you have to cooperate with a group of bloody generals. If you are like those generals, the Orc Empire cannot bear the price, and your relatives cannot bear it. The army has military discipline, and these military judges can manage it well.
Our military is also very conscious, so I’m not worried.”
"Speaking of war, in a short period of time, our Shield Sting operation will be launched, and in half a year, we will launch a large or small war. At that time, your talents must be used for a long time, because you have exerted your talents
The better, the smaller our losses will be, you should understand this truth."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and Lien took a bite and continued: "They all came from the ranks of soldiers. You must know that caring for soldiers does not create barriers just because they are not of the same race. You are setting an example, and you must lead the way."
"Your Majesty the God Envoy, we are not because..." Feng Ya wanted to explain but was stopped by Li En with a wave of his hand.
"Of course I know why you took action. Speaking of which, it's my fault because I plotted against your entire staff. So, I'll punish myself and make amends for you two."
After speaking, Li En drank all the wine in the cup and received applause from everyone present. He put down the cup and motioned for the two staff officers, Feng Ya and Feng Xing, to sit down. Li En continued: "You know, when you go to the battlefield, you are a comrade who changes his life.
, this difference is not enough to see at all, but people outside don't know, they will think that the staff is no longer united and has fallen into racial estrangement, and our future enemies also hope to see this situation. So you must set an example.
.”
"Don't forget, your men are also soldiers of the Orc Empire. They all look to you officers. Each race has its own advantages and disadvantages. As officers, you should see it more clearly."
"It's like you two bastards. You are both the leading figures in the staff department, but you just look down on each other. This is not good. Now that you have vented your anger and been taken care of by the old fox, I hope you two can do your best.
Let go of the past and understand each other."
This time, Lien named and criticized the tauren Banlan and the werewolf Jalu who caused the most trouble in this incident. The two of them were the staff members "Er Feng" and "Er Crazy" who were previously known as Bellows and Fengya.
”.
Banlan and Jalu looked at each other first, then stood up and said to Lien: "You must obey the wishes of the gods!"
Lien waved his hand and said: "This is not an order, but a request. I know that you two have been grudges for a long time, starting from the academy. It is not something that can be done in a short time if you want to accept each other immediately. I just ask
The two of you will strengthen communication and understand each other on a regular basis. I believe that your little conflicts will disappear under the witness of time."
The two of them sat down embarrassedly, and the colleague sitting next to them touched their heads in good faith, and everyone burst into laughter.
"As for that combat plan, I won't make it difficult for you. It is very feasible. When Operation Shield Sting is over, whether this plan can be implemented depends on whether the human empire will cooperate. So from now on, you will
Don’t waste your brain power thinking about it. Everything is with me. If you want to know, just give me your merits in exchange. It just depends on who comes to me first.”
Lien pointed to his head, and all the orcs looked at him with admiration. It was this head that was no bigger than his fist that led the orcs to where they are now twenty years ago. Since the divine envoy has
If you have a plan, then you only need to fight the battle in front of you.
"Your Majesty the Envoy of God, my tribe seems to have been at peace for too long. Some people think that the army is so idle and it costs a lot of money. More and more orcs are starting to say so. Even some soldiers think so. After freedom of speech, I feel that this
The impact on the army is not very good." said a fox tribe staff officer.
"It's good that you can notice this. Everyone here is a soldier. I don't need to say more about the importance of the army. The army spends a lot of money in peacetime, which seems a bit wasteful. It takes a thousand days to raise troops but only uses them for a while. There is a demonic invasion in the distance.
There is an empire war recently. You all need to work harder. The army is also the foundation of the country. No matter how chaotic the domestic forces are, as long as the army is stable and not affected by the outside world, even if the politics is turned upside down, the country will not perish. I believe you have
Do you have confidence in this ability?"
"Have confidence!" The staff members stood up and responded loudly. At this time, the Beast King waved his hand for everyone to sit down and said: "You don't have to be too burdensome. As long as you realize this, you can naturally correct it. We are all soldiers. I understand this.
I'm very confident. Don't just listen. You must finish all the delicacies today. In order to prepare it for you, I gave the royal chefs a death order. You must hold on to the wall and go out. So, for the sake of the royal chefs, you can
Have to work harder!”
Everyone was shocked at first and then smiled. The Beast King rarely joked and always looked majestic. At this time, the Beast King's behavior made everyone feel refreshed.
"Since His Majesty has said so, you should hurry up and eat!" After speaking, Lien raised a huge piece of meat with the fork in his hand and said, "Hold on to the wall and get out!"
Chapter completed!
