At this time, Li Huailin and the others still didn't know that the Demons had started to return. Even if they knew, they would think that the Demons had retreated. They wouldn't think that the Demons would attack the Undead. This was because this was a decision made by Beyzera, so it was hard to predict.
Li Huailin, who had just come online, was worrying about something else. The soldiers here were very loyal to Li Huailin's order to massacre the city. Then, something very depressing happened. Li Huailin found that the number of people for his mission didn't increase …
"Damn, can't I complete the mission when I'm offline …?" Li Huailin facepalmed. He had never thought about this problem. He had tried this mission before, and it was indeed possible to ask his subordinates to complete it for him. However, at that time, everyone was online. Last night, everyone went to bed because it was too late. He didn't expect to kill a single person. Now, he only had 410,000 people. He still needed 590,000 to unlock the second layer.
Loggerland City was a large city. Li Huailin casually calculated that there were at least 200,000 people here. Now that he didn't add one more person, Li Huailin estimated that he might not be able to gather enough people.
"Marshal, the city search is basically complete." At this time, McCain walked in from outside. City search was just a nicer way of saying it. In reality, it was a robbery. After killing everyone, all that was left was to take the loot. There were quite a lot of rich people in Loggerland City. The logistics team that Li Huailin had prepared was almost full.
"Can we go now?" Li Huailin asked.
"That shouldn't be a problem." To be honest, most of the human soldiers here were a little tired. After all, they had been killing for a whole night. However, McCain didn't say anything. After all, yesterday's attack on Loggerland City was all announced by the Undead. The humans were just following behind them to clean up the mess. This made McCain feel a little embarrassed, so he was preparing to attack the main city of the Dwarves to make the human army proud. "But there is one more thing that I need the Marshal to decide."
"Hmm? What? "Li Huailin asked.
"Well, after we breached the city last night, we captured the second prince of the dwarfs, Vensare. He's in prison now. Marshal, what should we do with him?" McCain asked.
"Oh, it's that guy. Why isn't he dead yet?" Li Huailin thought that this guy had been burned to death by his halo at the city gate yesterday. He didn't expect this guy to be so lucky. "What's the point of keeping this guy alive? Just kill him."
"But Marshal, he is the second prince of the Dwarf Empire. If we kill him, we won't be able to negotiate with the Dwarf Empire anymore," Maccon said.
"Now that the dwarves are about to be wiped out, why are you still talking about peace?" Li Huailin said. "But what you said makes sense. This guy's head is just a head. If he's alive, he might be able to exchange it for a lot of things …"
"Marshal." As they were talking, another soldier ran in from the door. "We've captured a few dwarven ministers. They said they came from the main city of the dwarves, and they want to negotiate with you."
"Ugh … we were just talking about peace talks, and they really came?" Li Huailin said.
"General, the Dwarves can't fight anymore. Our army can reach their capital city in two days, but they don't even have enough soldiers to defend their city. Their reinforcements won't be able to make it in time. They have no choice but to negotiate with us," Maccon said.
"But I don't want to negotiate yet …" Li Huailin said. Although Loggerland City was rich, it was not as rich as the main city. Loggerland City was the national bank of the dwarves, and there were treasures of the dwarves there. Li Huailin had always wanted to take a look at them.
"If they keep fighting like this, the dwarves will really be wiped out. Marshal, do you want them to wipe out their country?" McCain asked.
"In the past, the dwarves helped us to hold back the undead in the south. But now that the undead have become our ally, the dwarves' existence is a little unnecessary. If it weren't for their craftsmen being more useful, I really don't see the need for them to exist," Li Huailin said. "Anyway, let's meet the emissaries first."
"Yes, Marshal." Macken nodded and said.
Soon, a few dwarven emissaries were brought in. The dwarven ministers looked a little panicked, probably because they hadn't slept well. It would be strange if they could sleep well in such a situation. Li Huailin recognized the dwarf leader. It was Orfgar, the dwarven foreign minister who came to see him last time. However, compared to Orfgar that day, Orfgar was so haggard that he was almost unrecognizable.
"Greetings, Duke of Aquitaine." Upon seeing Li Huailin, the dwarves on this side immediately saluted respectfully.
"Ambassador Orfgar," Li Huailin said. "The two countries are at war. Why are you looking for me now?"
"Duke of Aquitaine, I think this is a misunderstanding," Orfgar immediately said. "Our country has no intention of going to war with your country …"
"Oh, is that so? But I heard that you were the one who declared war on us first," Li Huailin said.
"This is all because of those damned warmongering ministers. We have always attached great importance to our peaceful relationship with the Human race. However, those warmongering ministers bewitched His Highness the King, causing this misunderstanding. This really is a misunderstanding. Now that His Highness the King has sobered up, he hopes to ally with the Human race once again," Orfgar immediately said.
"Oh, so what do you mean?" Li Huailin asked without batting an eyelid.
"We hope to stop fighting with the humans immediately. Of course, this misunderstanding was caused by us, so we will definitely compensate the humans for their military expenses. I hope that the Duke can understand our apologies and withdraw immediately," Orpheus immediately said. "Of course, this misunderstanding was caused by us.
"Oh … Stop fighting …" Li Huailin nodded. "Orfgar, you think I'm an easy person to talk to, right?"
"Uh …" How could Orfgar think that Li Huailin was an easy person to talk to? However, he could only go with the flow and say, "Of course, the Duke of Aquitaine is famous for being a good person on the continent."
"You even gave me a good person card." Li Huailin smiled. "Alright then, for the good person card you gave me, I have to give you some benefits. Someone, return this second prince of the Dwarf Empire to Orfgar. Let him take him back."
"His Highness the Second Prince?" Orfgar was shocked. He thought that Vensary had died in the battle. He did not expect him to still be alive. This was good news. "Duke of Aquitaine, are you serious? Are you really going to return His Highness Vensary to us? "
"Yes, yes. Look at how nice I am," Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Then … then what price do we have to pay for this?" After all, the Second Prince was a captive, and since he was a captive, he would have to pay money to redeem him. This was common sense in battles, and since he was such an important figure, the price would definitely be exorbitant.
"Price? Oh, no, I'm not a good person. Come, come, come, I'll give him to you for free, "Li Huailin said with a smile.
"For … for free?" Ofuge was taken aback. Although he didn't wish for Li Huailin to extort a huge sum of money, he couldn't accept it if Li Huailin gave it away for free. This was just too strange.
"What's wrong? What's so strange? It's just the Second Prince. So what if I give him away? "Li Huailin said." He won't be the Second Prince in two days anyway … "
"Two days?" Orfgar asked. "Duke … Duke, what … what do you mean by that?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Look, it's getting late. We still have things to do, so we won't disturb you any longer. Michael, see our guest out," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Eh? Duke, what about our peace treaty? May I ask about the peace treaty? " Orfgar immediately shouted. His main purpose of coming here was not to take Vensary back, but to reach a peace treaty. They had not even talked about it yet, so why did Li Huailin send them off?
However, Li Huailin did not give him the chance. After he finished speaking, Li Huailin left immediately. As he walked, he mumbled, "Really, the Dwarves really think I'm an idiot."
Hearing Li Huailin's mumble and combining it with what he had just said, Orfgar understood that the Duke of Aquitaine did not want to negotiate anymore. He really wanted to destroy the Dwarves. If that was the case, it did not matter whether he went back or not. The Imperial City would be breached in two days, and the dynasty would be destroyed. Of course, the Second Prince would no longer be the Second Prince, so it did not matter whether he sent him back or not.
"Duke of Aquitaine, Duke of Aquitaine, we can talk," Orfgar immediately shouted. However, Li Huailin did not turn around and walked straight in.
"Sir Orfgar," Maccon said. It was Maccon's turn to speak. "The General is very angry. You should know why. The Dwarf Empire hit us when we were at our most difficult time. Now that we are about to be defeated, you want to use the word 'misunderstanding' to fool us? Do you really think our General is an idiot?"
"This … Deputy Marshal Maccon, that's really not what we meant. We can talk about the compensation. Please don't march anymore," Orfgar immediately said.
"I'm sorry, I only listen to the Lord Marshal's orders. I personally suggest that you go back and prepare yourself. If you still want to negotiate, then come with a little more sincerity next time. If you want to fool our Lord Marshal like this, just wait for our Lord Marshal's wrath. Hmph!"
"This … this … is …" Looking at Maccon who was a little angry, Orfgar could only nod.
