The news that Li Huailin had defeated the Orcs' first and third allied armies could not be kept a secret. On the same day, the entire continent knew about it. Everyone knew that the Orcs were going to lose the war as soon as they saw the report. The Orcs were going to lose for sure. The 80,000 soldiers of the second human army in their territory could no longer be defeated. The question was, what were the humans going to do to the Orcs?
Everyone knew that the relationship between the humans and the Orcs was not good. Every time the Orcs ran out of money and food, they would start to attack the neighboring countries. The humans suffered the most. A year ago, a war had broken out between the two sides. The First Marshal of the Orcs, Morpheus, had died in the war. Morpheus's son was the current human emperor, Anthony. No matter how one looked at it, Anthony did not like the Orcs. No matter how one looked at it, the Duke of Aquitaine, who held real power in the human race, did not like the Orcs. Otherwise, how could he have massacred seven cities of the Orcs? It felt like he was going to kill every single one of them. Therefore, everyone was worried for the Orcs.
At this time, the first marshal of the human army, Wilham, and the second marshal of the human army, Li Huailin, returned to the main city at the same time. At the same time, the Orcs' emissary group also arrived at the City of God's Blessing. The human emperor probably wanted to hear the two marshals' opinions, so he called them back.
"Why did the Orcs' diplomatic group come so quickly?" At this time, Li Huailin was in his house in the main city. This house was actually Marquis Filmut's property in the main city. It was later given to Li Huailin. However, Li Huailin had never come here before. There were only a few servants here to maintain the environment. There was nothing else.
"Teleportation? What's so strange about that?" Ceci, who was next to him, said as he wrote down notes.
"Teleportation? I thought teleportation can't be used between different factions? "Li Huailin said in surprise.
"Yes, but as long as you teleport to a neutral country, then teleport back here, it'll be fine," Ceci said.
"Huh? There's such a method? Then can I take the teleportation formation to the other camp? " Li Huailin was completely shocked. Could this be a new leveling route? If you were teleported to the enemy camp, you'd be instantly hacked to death by the enemy soldiers. Didn't this mean that you could level up as long as you spent money?
"Sure." Ceci nodded. "As long as you can show me the relevant documents."
"Relevant documents?" Li Huailin asked.
"That's right, the teleportation point of a neutral country won't allow people from other factions to use the teleportation formation. However, if you have the relevant documents, such as the documents from the envoy group, you can still use their teleportation formation," Ceci said.
"…" Li Huailin's thoughts were not wrong, but the truth didn't seem to be the case. Even if he managed to get his hands on the official document, the other party probably wouldn't kill him because he was an ambassador. Not killing an envoy was basically a tacit rule of the continent. In consideration, the other party would bring him to meet the king or something …
"Sigh … Leveling is so difficult …" Li Huailin sighed. It was not easy to find a bug to level up. Now that Su Ruoyan was so busy, she basically did not have time to go online. Therefore, it was even more impossible for him to concoct potions. Without potions that reduced health by a certain percentage, leveling up was just too difficult …
"What's wrong? You look like you have a headache." Ceci walked over and asked.
"It's nothing. Recently, I've been wanting to improve my strength, but I can't find a good place." Li Huailin pondered for a moment. Ceci was quite knowledgeable. He wondered if he knew of any good leveling spots. "Ceci, do you know of any place that's close to the city but is surrounded by monsters that are especially strong?" Li Huailin asked.
"Eh? If the monsters around it were very, very strong, wouldn't the city have been destroyed long ago? "Ceci asked.
"That's true …" Li Huailin nodded. "Is there a monster that's very strong, but won't actively attack humans? Moreover, it's close to a city like Li Ren's?"
"Sigh … I see. Let me think …" Ceci pondered for a moment before an idea flashed across his mind. "Speaking of which, I've read in a book that there's a tribe of cyclops near Sebacary City. There are about 60-70 cyclops there, and they usually don't attack humans on their own accord."
"Huh? There's such a place? "Li Huailin was a little surprised.
"Cyclops are a relatively rare race. You can't find them on the main roads anymore. This tribe of Cyclops was accidentally discovered by humans, and is now protected as a rare species." Ceci said. "I want to see it too."
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. Looks like it's going to be interesting. If I can't find another way to level up, there's no harm in going there …
Just as he was thinking, Legg suddenly ran in from the door. "Duke, Madam, I have something to report."
"What is it?" Li Huailin asked.
"The Orc Ambassador is here to visit," Legg said.
"I know. Didn't I hear about it when I came back?" Li Huailin said.
"No, Your Grace, the orc envoys are here," Legg explained.
"Eh? Now? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, they came uninvited. They're already waiting at the door with a few boxes. I think they're here to give you a gift," Legg said.
"Ah …" Li Huailin was waiting for the orcs and humans to stop fighting. Wilham had already gone to greet Anthony, and it was likely that they would convene a congress to discuss the matter. In fact, the congress would definitely come to an agreement. It was just that the orcs wanted to squeeze out as much as they could. Since they were here to give you a gift, Li Huailin wouldn't be polite.
"Alright, let them in," Li Huailin said.
"Duke, they might be plotting something. I think they're trying to drive a wedge between you and Her Highness. Let's just let them in, okay?" Legg said.
"It's fine. Make a list of the gifts and send it to Anthony. Just tell him that I've received this much, understand?" Li Huailin said.
"That's too much …" Legg was stunned, but he still nodded. "Then I'll call them in."
"Okay."
Not long after, the Beastmen delegation was invited in. Li Huailin sat in the main hall and waited. He saw that there were only three people in the lead, the rest of the people carrying the chests weren't allowed in. Right now, the ones carrying the chests were his own guards.
One of the three people was an old man with two horns. At first glance, he looked like a minotaur, but upon closer inspection, he looked more like a goat. His name was Carairon. On both sides of him were officials with animal ears. Li Huailin couldn't tell what race they were.
"Greetings, Archduke of Aquitaine." Carairon, the leader, bowed slightly. "I'm the leader of the goat tribe, Carairon. As the deputy of this ambassador, I'm here to greet you, Duke."
"Gifts?" Li Huailin pointed to the boxes behind them and said, "What do you think? Let's hear it."
"This …" Li Huailin's straightforwardness surprised Carairon a little, but he immediately reacted. "This is a little gift from our leader, mainly to show our respect for the Duke's illustrious achievements. However, I think that the humans and the orcs have suffered too much in this battle. If we continue to fight, it will not be good for either side. For the sake of the continent's peace, shouldn't both sides restrain themselves and stop this meaningless battle?"
"Too much damage? I'm sorry, we humans have less than 10,000 casualties so far. We can still afford this kind of loss. You've lost almost a million people, right? The loss is really huge, "Li Huailin said.
The corner of Carairon's mouth twitched. The orcs were really miserable this time, and the main casualties were not the troops. 80% of the million people were civilians, all slaughtered by the second legion, and the number was still increasing.
"Duke of Aquitaine, this … we orcs are also a peace-loving race. Although we are on different sides, the victims of war are still the civilians. So, why don't we stop this meaningless war?" Carrairon said.
"It's not up to me to decide whether to stop or not." Li Huailin said. "That's the king's decision. I'm just a marshal. I'm only fighting when the king asks me to. Don't you agree?"
"Yes." Carairon nodded. "But the Duke is the most powerful person in the empire. His Royal Highness the human king will naturally consider your opinion. We only hope that you will not object when the time comes. For this, we offer the most precious treasure of the orcs."
"Not object?" Li Huailin tilted his head. "This … it's not impossible. It depends on what you give me."
"The Duke will definitely like it. Someone, open the box …" Carairon said.
"Wait." Li Huailin reached out and stopped him. "Leave the things here. I'll take them all. I'll look at them myself later. As for whether I will help you or not … it depends on whether the things in the box can move me. If there's nothing else, you can go."
"This …" Carairon came here to get a guarantee from Li Huailin. Now, although Li Huailin did not refuse, he did not agree either. This made Carairon feel awkward.
"If you don't want to, then get lost. Take the box and leave," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"No, no. Please calm down, Duke." Carairon immediately said, "I didn't mean that. Our gift will definitely satisfy you. Please keep your promise, Duke."
"Got it. I'll take a look first," Li Huailin said. "Have a safe trip. I won't see you out."
