Chapter 697 Negotiation

In the huge tent, the leader of the grassland orcs, the great chieftain Abar, welcomed his guests.

The crystal nobles dressed in gorgeous clothes, that is, Prince Jasim and his entourage, entered the tent one by one with serious faces.

"Please sit down, your highness, and other distinguished guests."

Abar sat cross-legged on the main seat in the north and pointed to a row of tables on his left.

On his right, the high-ranking officials of the royal tent who were trusted by him were sitting, all looking at the human guests with bright eyes.

Prince Jasim nodded, and came to the seat arranged by Abar for him with his entourage, and also sat cross-legged like the orcs.

This method made him very uncomfortable, and his already uneasy mood became worse.

Both sides introduced their members.

Just when Jasim thought he was going to get to the point immediately, the great chieftain of the orcs waved his hand.

"Don't rush to negotiate. The guests must be exhausted after walking such a long way. Let's treat them well and serve the food!"

Abal gave an order, and the waiters brought in huge plates, which were filled with roasted pigs and sheep, and they were placed in front of everyone.

Prince Jasim frowned. This kind of food was too hard for the people of Jingyao, not to mention that his stomach was no longer young.

"Let's talk after we are full, please!"

Abal raised his hand and ate heartily.

As soon as the food was put down, the orc generals started to work, tearing off large pieces of meat, or taking out a knife to cut it, chewing and swallowing it, and then gulping down wine to moisten their mouths.

Such a straightforward way of eating made the nobles of Jingyao look at each other in surprise.

According to their custom, even if they were eating such a big meat, they would cut it into small pieces, add various appetizers, and eat it slowly with a fork.

"What a bunch of uncivilized barbarians!"

Many people commented in their hearts, but when they thought that the kingdom army was defeated by such barbaric guys, they became more depressed.

Seeing that the group of humans were frozen there, Abar smiled and said, "Guests, you think we are not considerate enough in hospitality."

"Ah, of course not!"

Fortunately, the orcs took care of them a little, and there were cutlery such as knives and forks on the table that humans were used to, so that the members of the delegation did not really eat with bare hands.

"Then, we should end this dispute, your highness."

When the feast was in the second half, Abar talked about the main purpose of this meeting.

Prince Jasim said seriously: "Your war against Ordo is completely unreasonable, and you should withdraw from Ordo's land immediately."

Bang! "This is revenge and punishment for humans!"

A younger orc roared and pounded the table in front of him, almost shaking the food off the table.

His face was somewhat similar to Abar. Jasim recalled the introduction just now and recognized that this was Abar's eldest son, Aguirre.

Maybe it was the stimulation of alcohol, the young orc prince was a little excited, even the hair on his cheeks could not cover the redness of his skin.

"Impolite!" The guard knight beside Jasim stood up and glared at him.

"Arrogant human!" There was a loud noise, and almost all the orcs stood up and glared at the knight.

Pah! Abar slapped the table with an unhappy look, "Sit down! We are negotiating."

He glared at his eldest son, "Get out! You are so embarrassing after drinking a few cups of horse urine."

"Father!"

"Immediately!"

Aguirre went out with a sullen look.

The rest of the orcs sat down unwillingly.

Abar looked at Jasim, a little surprised.

The father of this human king was very calm. His son's sudden behavior just now did not even cause the old man to twitch his eyelids. He looked calm.

Humph, I wonder if he can still remain so calm at the end of the conversation.

"Your Highness, please forgive my son's rudeness."

Abar apologized, his tone was even a little sincere, but then he changed the subject.

"But I have to say that he has some truth in what he said. We entered the human land this time entirely because of justice and fairness. This is a reciprocal measure for the continuous harassment of the grassland by humans for thousands of years."

These words made Jasim want to spit at Abar.

The conflict between humans and grassland orcs, although both felt that they were wronged, but when it came to the real thing, it was a mess that could not be settled. No one should say who was innocent.

No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!

Regardless of whether Aguirre's behavior just now was intentional or not, he regarded it as the orcs' preemptive move, and they were bound to bite off a piece of meat.

"My point of view is exactly the opposite of yours." The prince intended to argue, "The Watcher Corps has not been active on the grassland for a long time, but the orcs' plundering from the Rocky Mountains to the south happens every year."

"No! That's not plundering, it's revenge, but it's still not painful, and it can't be compared with the damage you have caused to the grassland in history." Abar did not give in.

The two of them argued fiercely for a while.

Finally, Jasim sighed, "So, Chief, what price are you going to offer, and how can you get you to leave the human land?"

Seeing that his opponent was loosening up, Abar was very happy.

"The Nerodan Corridor, the Yellow Earth Land, the Black Stone Plain, and the Giant Elephant Field."

He listed his conditions one by one.

What does that mean? The members of the delegation looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This... this is simply ridiculous!"

Prince Jasim's beard trembled. He understood what Abar meant. The orcs wanted land.

Lord of Light, these four places are simply the entire northwest region of the Kingdom of Aldo.

Others also reacted and exclaimed absurdity.

Before the formal meeting, the delegation had discussed the bottom line.

You can give the orcs a large sum of money, or the houses they urgently need, in exchange for their withdrawal from the kingdom.

But unexpectedly, the orcs wanted far more than they could accept.

The prince said seriously: "There are countless humans living on this land, and it is impossible to cede it to you."

Abal replied: "Oh, we will rule them reasonably, and I think the people here will be happy to accept a more enlightened ruler."

"Enlightened? The grassland model cannot be applied to humans."

"We are happy to learn your way. Since entering Ordo, countless people have come to join us. Are you interested in reviewing my human army? They are very loyal and brave. The war went so smoothly thanks to them."

Abal laughed as he said this.

And all the members of the Ordo delegation were so angry that their faces turned red.
