As the deputy envoy, the tauren druid felt that Prell's performance was a bit poor. Since he was here to talk about business, chatting with such a harpy mistress who was too coquettishly dressed was too unprofessional.
But no matter what, Prell is the candidate who was unanimously approved by Chief Kane Bloodhoof and the elders. Druid felt that he could not refute or question Prell's actions, but he still felt that he should remind him of this.
Kobold, it's time to get down to business.
So at his signal, Bosak Running Wolf took a solemn step forward, took down the banner representing the tauren race and the clan flag on his back, stood on the ground, and stood majestically in front of Prell.
behind.
Prell immediately calmed down his expression and said seriously and solemnly: "Dear Madam, as the envoy sent by the tauren, I think we should get down to business!"
Sylvia Xueyu laughed disdainfully: "Do the Tauren want to end the war with the Harpy? Haha, it's really ridiculous!" She hummed and said: "The Tauren killed us on the battlefield.
My sisters, as for you, little kobold, your hands are still stained with the blood of my compatriots!"
She shouted in a high-pitched voice: "Occupying our land, driving away our tribesmen, and killing our compatriots, this is what the tauren, as outsiders, do! Even the kobolds dare to act as accomplices.
Who gave you the courage to seek peace from us?"
The harpy mages and soldiers around her started making noises. Behind Prell, the eyes of the black cow hunter became cold. Her hand had already touched the big sword hanging on her waist. The shaman
The priest also held the two-handed ax carried behind his back.
Prell laughed: "I think you have not understood the fact that the tauren are never afraid of war or any enemy. The war chief sent me here not to beg for mercy and truce from the harpies, but to
Give you the choice of peace!" He translated his words to the people behind him.
The tauren druid nodded: "Well said!" Prell's words made the harpies even more angry. A harpy caster with blue wings jumped up and floated in the air with its wings flapping continuously.
, said viciously: "Then are you here to threaten us? Humble kobold!"
Prell continued to look at Sylvia Bloodfeather: "Dear Harpy Mistress, the tauren are a race that advocates peace. If they had not been fighting against the brutal centaurs for many years, they would have to move far away to find new nomads.
We are absolutely unwilling to trigger any war."
Sylvia Xueyu waved her hand, asking the red-faced spell caster to retreat, and said calmly: "Then, use your goblin-like eloquence to try to convince me and my people!
"
Prell said: "The original intention of the Tauren tribe was to go around the Stonetalon Mountains and enter the Barrens. This vast grassland is enough for the Tauren to coexist with other indigenous races! Only because of the obstruction of the centaurs, the Tauren had to go to the Stone Claw Mountains.
A temporary defensive camp was established at the entrance of the Claw Mountains to prevent further Centaur invasion."
Sylvia Xueyu laughed: "You are not telling the truth, Kobold. I know that the Tauren want to migrate to the Mulgore area they named, so no matter what, you are all invaders!"
Prell frowned slightly. He didn't know whether the fact that the Tauren migrated to Mulgore was an internal secret of the Tauren, but now it seemed that this matter had been known to others.
While he translated Sylvia Blood Feather to the people behind him, he whispered to the Druid: "Who leaked the news?" The Druid said bitterly: "In fact, a few years ago
We once sent a team to Mulgore, but the Kokar centaurs broke into Mulgore, and all the advance team were killed."
Prell sighed and looked at Sylvia Bloodfeather: "Yes, the tauren need to use the barren land to enter Mulgore. In fact, the tauren don't know that the current Horrible Totem Outpost Valley is owned by the Witchwing Clan.
territory, but the location there is too important. As a race that has suffered from war and is frightened, the tauren want to use the valley as a stronghold to defend against the centaurs. I think you can understand this feeling!"
He did not wait for the harpies to refute, and continued: "In fact, the tauren once tried to communicate with the harpies there, but your people did not give us any chance to communicate. Indeed, the tauren tried to communicate with each other to no avail.
, did occupy the Harpy territory, but do you know how many innocent Tauren civilians were killed by the Harpy sneak attacks before that?"
He gave an exaggerated figure: "Because of the Harpy's sneak attack, at least 500 Tauren civilians were killed. I think you should know what 500 people means for a race with a small population.
."
This number made the harpies who were still angry show a trace of pride. Several defeats on the frontal battlefield made the harpies realize that perhaps they could not defeat these tenacious tauren.
"Because of the lack of communication, or the unilateral refusal of the harpies to communicate, it led to a war between two races that lacked understanding. This is a sad thing, and I think the harpies do not want this to happen.
"
Sylvia Xueyu said coldly: "We harpies are not afraid. If we lose a thousand people, we will give birth to another thousand people; if we lose ten thousand people, we will give birth to ten thousand more people!"
This was Sylvia Bloodfeather's somewhat rogue response to taking advantage of the Harpy's super reproductive ability. Prell was a little helpless, but continued to say in a sincere tone: "War has great consequences for both races.
There is no benefit in either case. Tauren are not afraid of war, but they need time to recuperate; Harpies are not afraid of war, but you need enough food and weapons to deal with this long war! "
Sylvia Xueyu's face changed for the first time. Prell said the biggest problem faced by the harpies, which was also their biggest shortcoming. As a race that does not engage in production, the harpies even retained
Living a rather primitive lifestyle, they mainly rely on robbery for a living. When the robbery business does not go well, they will choose simple collection and crude handcrafting.
Prell continued: "If the tauren and the harpies ceased fighting, it would be beneficial to both sides. The harpies would not have to worry about the huge amount of food consumed by the war. At least they could survive until the rainy season. For the Witchwing clan,
Come on, the continuation of the race should always be the first priority, right?"
A group of harpies immediately started chattering quietly, and then a blue caster stood up: "A truce is not impossible, but what are the conditions? As a party seeking peace talks, what is your sincerity in negotiating?"
Prell glanced at the Druid, nodded, and then said: "The two races sent representatives to sign an armistice and peace agreement. The tauren are willing to conduct a certain degree of trade with the harpies, and promise to return the original at the appropriate time.
Belongs to the territory of the harpies."
Sylvia Xueyu's eyes widened: "That's all!" Prell didn't say anything, so the harpies became angry: "Ah ha, to put it bluntly, the tauren are the most beneficial to the truce, what about us harpies?"
You can’t even get it!”
Prell said: "Since it is a negotiation, we cannot only listen to one side's opinion. What are your conditions?" Sylvia Xueyu flapped her wings and said loudly: "The most important point is that we are on the battlefield.
You have killed so many sisters, how should the compensation be calculated?"
Prell also said loudly: "Then how should we calculate the compensation for the tauren who died in the rear because of the harpy's despicable sneak attack on the battlefield?"
His rebuttal immediately stunned the harpies. In fact, because of the harpies' loose social organization and even more loose battlefield management and statistics, they were not even sure how much their losses were.
Prell also took advantage of this, exaggerating the Tauren's casualties to give the Harpies a certain degree of psychological balance, and linking the Harpies' casualties and losses with the Tauren's losses.
Then he pretended to have a sad expression: "War will always kill people. The harpies suffered heavy losses, and the tauren suffered heavy losses as well. Everyone needs war compensation. I think it is better to make it even. No one should worry about it.
That’s it!”
He was keenly aware that the Witchwing clan seemed to lack diplomatic experience, so he was prepared to deal with it in a haphazard manner. So Sylvia Bloodfeather and her subordinates argued again for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed with Prell.
proposal.
Then Silvia Xueyu finally proposed the harpy's conditions: "Since the tauren also suffered heavy losses, we will graciously stop worrying about it for the time being. The conditions we proposed are very simple. First, the tauren must
We provide a sufficient amount of food to survive this damn dry season; secondly, we are willing to trade with the tauren, but the price of the trade items must not be low
At the price of the goblin merchants; third, return the valley to the Witchwing clan, we can’t wait to get there for easy looting; fourth, the tauren provide us with a batch of shiny baubles, and we harpies need jewelry and decorations.
; Fifth, I heard that tauren are good at forging. We need a batch of suitable and sophisticated weapons, and the price must be lower than the price of the damn goblins."
"As for the sixth one," she paused and licked her tongue charmingly: "My clan needs new men. We expect the tauren to provide us with human or elf men who meet our harpy aesthetics. After all, it is a bit difficult.
.Then we will reluctantly accept a group of strong tauren males."
Then she stretched out two hands: "There must be at least four hundred people!"
