"That's right." Li Huailin nodded. "From the records of the past years, whenever the humans and elves have a good harvest, the Orcs would definitely come to cause trouble. It's about time now, and the humans and elves are fighting. Do you think the Orcs wouldn't take the opportunity to reap some benefits? So the question is whether to attack the humans or the elves … "
"Which side will they attack?" Vanessa asked.
"Actually, the chances of them attacking the humans weren't high. The main problem was that the Demons were crippled by me. In other words, if the Orcs angered the humans and launched a counterattack, the Demons wouldn't be able to help. So the Orcs would probably be concerned about this. In comparison, the elves are in trouble. The Orcs and the elves have been enemies for generations. Now that the elves have fallen out with their ally, the humans, and their main force, the Silverwind Guards, are gone, how do you think the Orcs will choose their targets? "Li Huailin said.
"If the Orcs attack from the east, then the second and third legions …" Vanessa said.
"Yeah, that's why you still don't understand the severity of the situation. The second and third elven legions are nothing more than empty legions. The two legions don't even have 100,000 people in total, and they even had a shocking battle record where the two legions couldn't stop the Orcs. Why are you forming such a team?" Li Huailin sighed. "I think if the Elf Queen is smart, she'll stop the war now while she still has some capital. If the war continues, the elves will have less capital with each passing day."
"You want the elves to surrender now?" Vanessa asked.
"No, in fact, it's still called a truce now." Li Huailin said, "If the war ends within a month, then it's a truce. The elves still have a chance after a month, but they can only surrender then. Moreover, the elven kingdom will become a vassal of the human kingdom. If the elves don't react by then, they'll be wiped out in three months. So the war now doesn't depend on how well the elves perform, but on their reaction speed. "
"Exterminated?" Vanessa said with difficulty. Beside her, Selena was also shocked speechless.
"Don't worry, it's not that exaggerated." Li Huailin said, "I don't like to kill people with one blow. Think about it, if the Elf Queen had a little bit of intelligence, she would have come back to stop the war with me immediately."
"Do you agree?" Vanessa naturally hoped that both sides would stop fighting, so she immediately asked.
"Let's see how much she pays." Li Huailin spread his hands.
"You bastard! You killed so many of our people, and you still want us to give you money?" Selena immediately roared.
"Miss Selena, please understand that you're the one who wants things to turn out this way," Li Huailin said.
"Me? What are you talking about? "Selena asked in confusion.
"I told you before that as long as you give me the mine in the Kemle area, nothing will happen, but you refused. I told you at the time that you might not be able to accept what happened next, but you didn't believe me. Now that things have come to this point, the elves are about to go extinct. Do you still not believe me? "Li Huailin said.
"Huailin, how much money do you want to end the war? I'll talk to Her Highness myself," Vanessa suddenly said.
"The elves will definitely not agree if I tell them how much money they want. I've more or less figured out their way of thinking. Although the elves are getting more and more miserable as the war goes on, I don't think anyone will be able to see that. I'll talk to them when the orcs attack. I reckon they'll be able to satisfy all their demands then," Li Huailin said.
"Her Highness is very wise. She should be able to understand," Vanessa said. "Huailin, tell me."
"Ugh … Actually, I haven't thought about it yet," Li Huailin said. "Think about it carefully. I'm not the one in charge of money. I'll first ask the one at home how much she wants …"
"Huh?" Vanessa was stunned.
"Anyway, you should send your sister back first. There's no point for her to stay here. Our brothel is full, and it's too troublesome for her to occupy a room by herself. You should go to the Elven Kingdom on my behalf and talk to the Queen there about the situation. I'll go home and ask how much money I need." Li Huailin said. "Just go with a big fanfare. I'll help you talk to Anthony. With me around, they won't dare to touch you."
"Oh, okay …" Vanessa nodded.

"Damn, forget it. That's it. I'll head back first." Li Huailin didn't say anything else. He waved his hand and left.
After returning to the main camp, Li Huailin ordered a few soldiers to send Vanessa and Selena out. He then sent someone to look for Maccon.
"General, what's the matter?" Maccon asked.
"I have something to do. I'll head back first. Keep an eye on things here." Li Huailin said, "Although there isn't any danger right now, you still have to pay attention to the situation. After this, follow my arrangements. If the Sprites want to negotiate with me, tell them to find me at my place."
"Yes, General." Maccon nodded. Although he didn't know what Li Huailin was going to do, he didn't ask. In short, Li Huailin must have something important to do.
Li Huailin was also quite at ease with Maccon around. Although Maccon's tactics were somewhat lacking, he had been with Marlindolph for so many years, so he shouldn't have any problems in this aspect. Now, the possibility of the elves attacking again was too small. Relying on the ten or twenty thousand Silverwind Royal Guards in the main city to annihilate them was very unlikely.
After giving some instructions, Li Huailin used a Return Scroll to return to Sovata City. Then, he walked back to the Duke's mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Li Huailin heard a few familiar voices. It was Red Moon and Hongyan. They were here and chatting with Misty Rain.
"The data here isn't right. From here to here, it's all wrong. Take it back and redo it." Misty Rain was scolding an NPC in the finance department. She looked quite fierce.
"Yes, Madam. I'll redo it immediately." The NPC immediately nodded and admitted his mistake. He took the things and left.
"Yan 'er, you seem to be getting used to the title of Duchess." Red Bloodprint immediately teased.
"Yeah, haha." Hong Yue also said with a smile.
"This …" Speaking of this, Misty Rain blushed. Although she said it was for business, she still felt a little embarrassed.
"Big Sister, you're so cool. Every NPC that passes by has to bow and greet you. I'm also the Duke's sister-in-law, right? Why doesn't anyone greet me?" Hongyan said as she took a sip of water.
"What's there to greet sister-in-law? You're not a Duchess," Red Mark said. "If you want others to greet you, you should marry your brother-in-law."
"That won't do. That's brother-in-law," Hongyan said as she took a sip of water.
"Ahem …" Li Huailin hurriedly walked over. If he didn't go over, he didn't know what kind of nonsense they would come up with. "Hello, everyone. I'm back."
"Huailin?" "Brother-in-law?" The four women were startled.
"Why are you back? Aren't we at war? " Misty Rain immediately said, "I sent you the rations the day before yesterday. They should be here soon."
"My opponents are all dead, so there's nothing to do for now. So, I'm back," Li Huailin said. "I still have a professional competition tomorrow, so I'll log off here today."
"Yeah, the White Valley incident …" Red Moon said. "The Elves are really screwed this time."
"White Valley? What's that? "Li Huailin asked curiously. He still didn't know what had happened.
"You don't know?" Red Moon said. "Didn't you defeat the Silverwind Guards?"
"Oh, yeah. What does it have to do with White Valley?" Li Huailin asked.
"Go online and read the thread. You can find it anywhere," Red Moon said.
"Oh, okay. I'll log off and take a look." Li Huailin nodded. "Guild leader, why are you here?"
"Nothing much. It's mainly because you borrowed Yan 'Er. There's no one to manage the shop. I can only look after it for now. I'm here to talk to Yan' Er about the shop's situation." Red Moon said. "The guild hasn't organized any activities for a few days now. When are you going to return Yan 'Er?"
"Oh, it'll be done soon. The war is almost over." Li Huailin said. "After the war is over, there won't be so many things to do. Just let the people below watch over the shop. When the time comes, I can return her."
"It's about to end?" Misty Rain asked. "How is it? Are the Elves going to surrender?"
"It's almost time to negotiate," Li Huailin said. "I came back to ask you, how much money do you want?"
"War reparations? How much can we get? "Misty Rain was excited when it came to money.
"We've already fought under their main city. It's an alliance under the city. We'll take whatever we say. Do you think they can say no?" Li Huailin said. "You calculate how much money we want. We'll just ask them directly."
"You don't have much ability to earn money, but your ability to rob money is top-notch." Misty Rain said. "However, we don't lack money at the moment … But the more the better. Since that's the case, I'll calculate how much money the Elves have. You can go and ask for all of it."
"You can calculate that?" Li Huailin said in surprise.
"Hmph, see how amazing my sister is?" Hongyan said proudly while drinking water.
"You can see it just by looking at the financial reports of the Elves for the past two years. What's so strange about it?" Misty Rain said with a wave of her hand.
"Damn, you're so awesome," Li Huailin praised. "Then you calculate it quickly. I'll be in charge of robbing money."
