Chapter seven hundred and ten, showdown
In the end, I couldn't escape this hurdle.
William Zhang and Halfen are both understanding people.
Halfan's purpose is to have enough food to ensure that his wood elves can survive this winter and that their people will not starve to death.
Zhang William's purpose is to make the wood elves surrender.
From the very beginning, both parties were talking with this purpose in mind.
But surrender is only Halfen's final resort.
Unless you are desperate.
Otherwise, he doesn't want to get to this point.
But William Zhang is different.
No matter what conditions you put forward, you can't convince him.
Because he only has one request.
That is to make the wood elves surrender.
Other than that, nothing else to discuss!
Now that his goal has been achieved, William Zhang seems to be in a pretty good mood.
Of course, it was more because he tortured Halfen so hard.
This puts him in a good mood.
"Then next, please ask Chief Halfen to accompany me to the Imperial City. After I have an audience with His Majesty the Emperor and swear allegiance, the matter will be considered completed."
Halfen frowned slightly when he heard this.
"You still want to go to the Imperial City?"
"Of course. Since you want to surrender, isn't it natural to meet the supreme ruler of our civilization and swear allegiance?"
"At the same time, if you want to provide enough food for the wood elves to survive the winter, there is no doubt that it is a huge number, and you must obtain His Majesty's permission."
Zhang William calmly stated a fact.
Halfen, on the other hand, was still frowning.
"That's true, but my people are in urgent need of food now..."
Having said this, Halfen's voice paused, and then he turned to ask...
"How long does it take to get to the Imperial City?"
"If we go by carriage, it will take about a month and a half."
"What?!"
After receiving this answer, Halfen's eyes widened.
Are you kidding him?
One and a half months later, everything is too late!
Apparently guessing what Halfen was thinking at this time, Zhang William raised his hand.
"Don't worry, before that, I will send someone to transport some food from Senhai City."
After hearing this, Halfen's expression softened slightly.
But after all, it was related to the life and death of his clan members, so he couldn't help but ask one more question.
"Lord Elf King, what method do you plan to use to send the food there? If it is an ordinary method, I'm afraid it will take a long time..."
"You can rest assured on this, I have a solution for this matter."
Speaking of this, Zhang William smiled mysteriously.
"As for what we can do, you'll know with your own eyes tomorrow. It's almost past noon. Why don't we have lunch together?"
I have to say that Zhang William’s change in attitude is quite clear.
After all, once the wood elves surrender, they will be their own from now on.
Just toss them a few times and vent out the anger you have suffered over the years, and forget it.
It doesn't make sense if the relationship is too tense.
This can be regarded as a gesture of kindness from him.
Regarding William Zhang's overtures, whether it was for the temptation of food or the restoration of their relationship, Halfen could not refuse the invitation.
For lunch, Zhang William directly asked someone to bring a table of hot pot.
In fact, since the beginning of winter until now, he has been eating hot pot almost every day.
Because it's too cold...
Eat it for lunch.
This was definitely the most filling and delicious meal they had eaten in the past two months.
After eating, both Halfin and Kalgan were in mixed moods.
Look what the high elves are eating here.
Let’s take a look at what the wood elves eat every day.
Halfen definitely felt heartbroken.
Early the next morning, with all my willpower, I got out of the bed that was so warm that it was almost ridiculous.
He couldn't help but feel more complicated.
They are both elves, but the gap is actually so big.
As a clan leader, he felt a sense of frustration.
After eating a breakfast that troubled him.
They followed William Zhang outside the city.
On the snow outside the city, I saw strange vehicles filled with cargo ready to set off.
"Lord Elf King, what is this?"
"This thing is called a sled. It is a means of transportation on the snow in winter for our civilizations in all worlds."
After speaking, Zhang William pointed to the goods on the sled.
"The food has been prepared and we can set off at any time. Of course, if Chief Halfen is worried, he can be sent to follow."
While speaking, Zhang William glanced at Kalgan who was following behind.
"After all, if there is any conflict after arriving at the place where you wood elves live, it will obviously be something neither of us wants to see. Don't you think so, Chief Halfin?"
Although Zhang William's words were somewhat meant to test his sincerity, I have to say that they also made some sense.
After Halfen heard this, he immediately turned to Kalgan and said...
"I don't know what happened to the clan during the time I left. Kalgan, you go with them and remember to maintain order within the clan. If any emergency occurs, I allow you to make your own decision."
After hearing this, Kalgan felt anxious.
Then he lowered his voice and spoke...
"I'm leaving, what will you do?"
There is only one giant eagle, and only Kalgan can control it.
If he is here, just in case, he can also summon the giant eagle and lead Halfin to break through from the air.
But if he leaves, won't Halfin become a piece of meat on the chopping board opposite?
"Don't worry, since we have already planned to submit to the civilization of all realms, there is no need for them to do anything to me."
Although I only stayed in Senhai City for one night.
But the development gap between the two sides caused a subtle change in Halfen's mentality.
At least he is no longer as resistant as he was to the idea of leading the wood elves to submit to the civilization of all realms.
Having said this, Kalgan has nothing more to say.
He nodded and accepted the matter.
Kalgan officially set off with the team transporting food.
Halfen, on the other hand, followed William Zhang and got into another specially made snow carriage.
Rushing towards the imperial city of civilization in all realms, Mirror City.
What he saw and heard along the way was undoubtedly an eye-opener for Halfen.
It allowed him to further understand the prosperity of this civilization in all realms.
Especially after leaving the Elven Provinces.
Compared to the elf cities that are close to nature, the human cities and goblin cities that passed behind were truly eye-opening for Halfen.
Constantly refreshing his knowledge.
It made him unable to calm down emotionally for a long time.
During this period, the sleigh team carrying a large amount of food also rushed all the way to the residence of the wood elves at an extremely fast speed.
This transportation efficiency made my colleague Kalgan secretly shocked.
Then Kalgan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile when he thought that the stubborn elder of his clan actually wanted to fight to the death with such a civilization.
An update is given, thanks to book friends ‘World A’ and ‘Lin Fen’ for their monthly votes!
