Chapter 149 Elf Queen: I will give you whatever you want!
The Beilo Mountains range from the end of the Andes Mountains in the west to the coast of the Caspian Sea in the east.
It is more than 680 kilometers long from east to west.
The narrowest point from north to south is about 50 to 60 kilometers, and the widest point is more than 300 kilometers.
The entire mountain range is undulating, with hundreds of large and small peaks such as Beiluo Mountain and Zhaoxia Mountain, as well as Meiling and other remaining mountains. It is like a giant dragon, straddling the valley province of the Aztec Alliance and the northern province of Lieyang Kingdom.
between.
It has become a natural border between the two countries and a natural chasm that is difficult to cross.
Not only because the mountains are steep, but also because there are dragons, elves, dwarves, orcs and other alien races living in the vast mountains, and there are also various life restricted areas.
The demonic tide originated from one of the restricted areas of life.
The degree of danger can be imagined.
After the demon tide broke out, the lone dragon left leisurely, and the orcs in the mountains also went down one after another to join their orc relatives on the plains, away from the whirlpool.
Only the elves and dwarves who have lived in the Beiluo Mountains for generations are in the most dilemma.
According to statistics, there are more than 130 large and small elven tribes in the Beiluo Mountains, with more than 100,000 elves. There are relatively more dwarves, with more than 150 dwarf tribes, with about 150,000 dwarves.
They are considered to be the two largest groups of aborigines in the Beiluo Mountains.
Both elves and dwarves have a very strong sense of territory. Once a settlement is selected, it is likely that it will not be moved for hundreds of years unless some major changes occur.
The elves respect the Elf Queen, while the dwarves respect the Dwarf King.
The organizational structure is relatively loose.
After a simple welcome ceremony was held at the Suzaku Gate, the Elf Queen, the Dwarf King and their entourage were invited to the middle courtyard of the Lord's Mansion for a formal meeting.
Here in Chang'an.
Since the war had just ended and everything was complicated, only Wu Sidao and Shangguan Wan'er were arranged to accompany him.
And Mia.
Act as a middleman.
"Congratulations to Chang'an for achieving a great and unprecedented victory." The Elf Queen first expressed her congratulations.
Although Mia had predicted last night that Chang'an would soon organize a counterattack, and the chance of winning was more than 90%, the actual results still shocked the elves and dwarves.
What is this?
Originally, they expected that this would be a close battle.
As a result, it turned into a unilateral crushing and massacre by Chang'an. In an instant, the six to seven million alliance troops were turned into powder under the front of Chang'an's soldiers.
It's really too shocking.
Because of this, the Elf Queen and the Dwarf King ignored diplomatic etiquette and came uninvited.
I just want to send my congratulations as soon as possible.
There is no doubt that Chang'an has such a military front, which is enough to help them withstand the full-scale outbreak of the demonic tide.
It depends on whether Chang'an is willing to do so.
On the way here, the Elf Queen and the Dwarf King had an urgent discussion and quietly doubled the chips they had prepared in the future, hoping to impress Chang'an.
To be precise, it was to impress Tang Jing.
Looking at the extraordinary and majestic Lord of Chang'an sitting in the main seat, the Elf Queen couldn't help but feel amazed.
At such a young age, he already has a heroic demeanor.
Really amazing!
"Thanks!"
Tang Jing smiled and nodded, "This is indeed a difficult victory. For this, Chang'an has been planning for more than a month, and finally the siege was lifted, making everyone laugh."
"..."
Seeing Tang Jing being so humble, the Elf Queen smiled on her face, but her heart tightened.
Realize.
This time I encountered a difficult boss.
Because Tang Jing's humility was not really humility, but a complaint in reverse, telling the elves and dwarves euphemistically how difficult Chang'an was.
Since Chang'an is already having such a hard time, why don't the elves and dwarves ask Chang'an for help?
It’s difficult!
Confrontations between big guys, seemingly simple greetings, all require Chinese translation.
Ordinary people really can't understand the mystery behind it.
"Although the battle in Chang'an was not easy, I finally managed to get away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches. It also allowed Chang'an to completely establish a foothold in the Aztec continent." The Elf Queen continued with a smile.
.
The implication.
Chang'an is good enough, so don't cry about poverty.
"It's still hard to get a firm foothold."
Tang Jing shook his head, "After the army has rested for a few days, Chang'an will change its strategy from passive defense to active attack. It will actively seek to start a war with the Aztec Alliance to expand strategic depth."
"..."
The smile on the Elf Queen's face faltered.
If Chang'an is really going to go into full-scale war with the Aztec Alliance, what will happen to the Beiluo Mountains?
This is pushing the negotiation to a dead end.
"Ahem, no matter what, I still want to thank Chang'an and the lord for sending two powerful troops, the Shenwu Brigade and the Xiongwu Brigade, to help us resist the demonic tide."
The Elf Queen had no choice but to forcefully change the topic to the demonic tide.
"nothing."
Tang Jing remained modest, "This is all in response to Chaoxia Mountain's request and Chang'an's fulfillment of its safety commitment."
The implication.
Chang'an has no commitment to the entire Beiluo Mountains.
"..."
The Elf Queen and the Dwarf King exchanged glances, and both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. Tang Jing was more difficult to deal with than they expected, and he was slippery.
It's not that they are not good at words.
But the current situation is that they seek help from Chang'an, so they are naturally in a weak position.
How to refute?
Any gorgeous diplomatic rhetoric will pale in face of the absolute comparison of strength.
"That's why the lord keeps his promise."
The Elf Queen reluctantly accepted the words, "It's just that there is such bad news now. The demon tide in the Beiluo Mountains is about to explode in full force. We sincerely hope to get support from Chang'an."
"to this end."
"We are willing to spend three million gold coins, three hundred thousand elven war bows, two hundred and fifty thousand sets of iron armor, and two hundred thousand shields as rewards for sending troops to Chang'an."
"I don't know, what do you think, Lord?"
Seeing that Tang Jing could not see the rabbit but the hawk, the Elf Queen simply started talking.
State the conditions directly.
Objectively speaking, the rewards jointly offered by the elves and dwarves are already very generous.
This is almost the limit of what they can do.
Don't look at the fact that the Elf Tribe in Chaoxia Mountain alone has an inventory of 10,000 Elf War Bows. It can be inferred that every Elf Tribe in the Beiluo Mountains has such a wealthy family.
Not so.
The size of the Elf Tribe in Chaoxia Mountain is around 3,000, which is considered a large tribe in the entire Beiluo Mountains. The average size of the Elf Tribe is around 1,000.
Smaller tribes may even have only three to five hundred elves.
Naturally, the family wealth is not as good as that of Chaoxia Mountain.
In addition, in the past month, in order to resist the demonic tide, the elves and dwarves themselves have also consumed money. During this period, they also had transactions with Chang'an and the coalition forces.
Further depleting inventory.
The rest will have to be used to resist the outbreak of a full-scale demonic tide.
It can be said to be full of sincerity.
Before coming, no, even before entering Chang'an City, the Elf Queen and the Dwarf King discussed this number.
This is another temporary increase, and it is increased to the verge of the limit.
Through Gain's brief conversation with Tang Jing, the Elf Queen realized that Tang Jing was not easy to fool, and if he wanted to get reinforcements from Chang'an, he must exchange his sincerity for his sincerity.
Impress Chang'an with the greatest sincerity.
"Not only that, we will also deposit a deposit of no less than three million gold coins to Chang'an Bank."
The Elf Queen added.
"You're welcome!"
Tang Jing's calm reaction was completely beyond the Elf Queen's expectations.
how.
Not enough price?
"Geographically speaking, both the Bay County that Chang'an has occupied and the Macon County that is about to be occupied are bordering the Beiluo Mountains. If the demonic tide is really going to break out, Chang'an has no reason to sit idly by and ignore it."
"In a sense."
"Chang'an, the elves, and the dwarves all prosper and suffer."
"But war is a major event, and a fierce battle has just ended in Chang'an. We still have to discuss the follow-up arrangements internally. If Her Majesty is not in a hurry, can you stay in Chang'an for a day?"
After talking, Tang Jing was sincere.
But as smart as the Elf Queen was, she could faintly smell a different flavor from these words.
"That would be our pleasure!"
Although anxious, the Elf Queen behaved calmly.
You can't show your timidity.
But as soon as she returned to the inn arranged by the lord's mansion, the Elf Queen called Mia to her side and said, "Mia, please go and communicate with the lord again. If he has any other ideas or requests, you can mention them."
Seeing how powerful Chang'an was, the Elf Queen was a little polite to Mia.
"OK!"
Although Mia cares about Chang'an, she is also an elf after all and has a duty to do so.
………
After the Elf Queen left.
Tang Jing left Mr. Wu alone to discuss matters, and said helplessly: "Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the victory and capture at least half of the valley province. Now it seems that we have to face a two-front battle again."
"Your choice is correct."
Mr. Wu nodded, "The Beiluo Mountains are half of the backyard of the territory. If the backyard is not peaceful, how can we talk about expansion?"
"yes."
Even if the elves and dwarves don't come to the door, the demonic crisis will really spread beyond the Beiluo Mountains.
Chang'an cannot ignore it either.
certainly.
The support that the elves and dwarves wanted at that time was very different.
The Elf Queen and the Dwarf King came this time in the hope that Chang'an would send a large army to take the initiative to fight in the Beiluo Mountains and protect the homes of the elves and dwarves as much as possible.
I still want to seek help from Chang'an.
"Since your Excellency has made up your mind to march into the Beiluo Mountains. The rewards proposed by the elves and dwarves are also very generous. Why didn't your Excellency agree on the spot?" Mr. Wu was a little confused.
"Sir, you might as well take a guess." Tang Jing smiled.
"Your Excellency, you want to take advantage of this opportunity to bring the elves and dwarves from the Beiluo Mountains under the rule of Chang'an?"
Mr. Wu is indeed very smart.
"Almost."
Tang Jing's eyes were leisurely, "There are twenty-five elves and dwarves combined, and they are close to Chang'an. If we can't establish a closer relationship with Chang'an, how can we rest assured?"
How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?
"Chang'an can not interfere with the lives of elves and dwarves, but it must establish a closer bond. At least, from now on, elves and dwarves can no longer sway between Chang'an and the Alliance."
"clear."
Mr. Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the lord's growth rate is really amazing.
This pattern, this plan...
It was completely different from what he saw when he first arrived.
"Then Mr. Lao will come forward and contact the other side. I estimate that soon, Mia will be arranged to inquire about the information there. Sir, you might as well represent the territory and open up to talk to the other side."
Once the details are settled, there is no need for Tang Jing to come forward for specific matters.
"Don't worry, sir!"
As the head of the lord's palace, Mr. Wu naturally does his part.
