Zhang Lisheng could hear a hint of unusual surprise in Cole's tone. He smiled and did not say anything.
In a small conference room in the human gathering bunker on Shrimp B1 Island, Cole looked at the smiling face of a skinny young Asian man projected on the wall by the projector. Without warning, he let go of the communication button and asked his adjutant, "Hatton, this guy is just too mysterious. Do you think he knows that we're watching him?"
"I can't be sure either, sir. I only know that his existence has indeed brought us a lot of benefits. Otherwise, unless we send out those expensive steel warriors that are rumored to cause brain death, we'll have to sacrifice at least 3,000 elite ground troops to eradicate the A1 to A17 tribes according to the computer's deduction.
The most important point is that from the comparison of the video on the day of the terrorist attack, the C1 tribe is indeed innocent while the A1 to A17 tribes are indeed the murderers who attacked the gathering place. "
"I know, but most of the murderers have also been integrated into the C1 tribe. Their purpose is not to help us take revenge but to fight for the cruel primitive war for territory.
Of course, we're 'civilized people' so we can be ruthless with our words but no matter what those aborigine tribes have done, it's difficult for us to carry out a genocide massacre on them. Half of them are children, old people, and women … Ah, forget it.
You're right, Hatton. The existence of that Mr. Mysterious is indeed very beneficial to us. "Many thoughts flashed across Cole's mind. In the end, he sighed and pressed the communication button again." Mr. Zhang, why are you silent for so long? "
"Oh, I'm waiting for you to speak, General. I want to hear more comments from a modern professional soldier on the primitive war of the foreign world's aborigines but it seems like you have nothing to say.
Alright, let's get back to business. The reason I contacted Eagle's Nest is to tell you that the Tudenan people have already sent the 'gifts' you need. However, I think it'll take a whole day for them to arrive … "
"A whole day? That's too long!" Cole frowned and interrupted the young man's words. "Why don't I send a few transport helicopters …"
"General Cole, I'm sorry, the aborigine tribe does not allow strangers to visit. My position in the tribe is not enough to let those steel birds land in Tudenan."
"In that case, it seems like we need to raise your position in the aborigine tribe. I can give them double the amount of resources that the aborigines want to exchange for their gifts."
Zhang Lisheng already had his own plan on what to exchange the corpse of the guardian spiritual monster of the tribal alliance with the US army. Upon hearing Cole's words, his eyes lit up right away. Pretending to be calm, he said, "They want a big ship, a steel ship that can sail to other islands, Sir General."
"Warships? That's impossible. Besides, even if we give them to the natives, they won't know how to pilot them," Kola said firmly.
"Oh, you misunderstood.
Most of the monsters in the foreign world's ocean won't attack these natives. They don't need the escort of warships to sail in the sea like us Earthlings do, so ordinary iron ships will do.
Using early steam engines as power, they could use wood to boil water and sail. Two or three of them would be enough. "
"Hmm, that's not a difficult condition. It shouldn't be a problem." Cole became silent for a while before agreeing. "That's right, Mr. Zhang. Aren't you going back to the gathering place with those aborigines who sent the gifts?"
"No, the Tudenan people are all fired up right now. They may attack Kamando at any time so it's better for me to stay in the tribe. Besides, I can also collect some experimental materials for research."
"Alright, in that case, keep in touch. Compass."
"It's the Eagle's Nest. Keep in touch, "Zhang Lisheng said and turned off the communication device. Feeling that he had nothing to do at the moment, he jumped out of the wooden car and walked into the huge bark house enshrining the Tudenan's book of history. Sitting cross-legged on the animal skin chair, he began to cultivate his secret method.
In the battle of conquering the tribal alliance, due to the US army's early saturation air raid that had taken away most of the aborigines' hatred and abhorrence, the young man's wizard power had yet to make a breakthrough to Rank-9 Wizard.
In the following days, other than flying back to New York in his wyrmdragon incarnation and sneaking into New York University to steal the Gold Core to shatter it, he also relied on transplanting the Gold Core's fragments to the Tudenan warriors and cultivating diligently to kill time.
It was until one day when Zhang Lisheng was cultivating with smoke behind him that he suddenly felt uneasy. When he opened his eyes and thought about it carefully, he realized that it was already the day to complete the deal with the Lord.
120 days later, the situation on Shrimp B1 Island suddenly changed. Zhang Lisheng's deal with the Darkwalkers no longer had any meaning. However, to the Tudenan's Raider who already had millions of devout believers, 26 faith stones were not precious at all. For this reason, he really could not afford to offend a large group of powerful Darkwalkers and break the deal.
"26, 26 …" Zhang Lisheng turned around and counted enough faith stones on the altar enshrining the tribal book of history before jumping down from the animal skin chair and strode out of the bark house. When he saw that the sky was already close to dusk, he commanded the wizard gu to jump down from his shoulder and expand his body. Ignoring the groups of kneeling aborigines, he jumped onto Ghostface's back and walked towards the Mokacho tribe's habitat that had been destroyed for several months.
After walking through the jungle for a long time, the young man finally arrived at his destination.
In the ruins, he looked around and did not see anyone at all. After waiting quietly under the bright moon for a while, he saw a tall man wearing a camouflage jacket walking out of the jungle calmly.
"Good evening, Your Excellency Dragon Fang.
I thought that after so many accidents had happened, you might not appear tonight even if you've sworn on the Styx. I can't believe that I'm late instead. " The tall man walked up to Zhang Lisheng, whose slender body was densely covered with diamond-shaped scales, and said in an unpleasant voice that was completely opposite to his demeanor.
"Good evening, Your Lordship. The new clothes suit you very well.
Since I've promised you, I'll naturally keep my promise, "Zhang Lisheng said and threw the faith stones in his sharp claws directly to the Lord." Catch your reward. We're even now. "
With the help of the dim moonlight, the Lord saw more than 20 round stones flying towards him. With a wave of his right hand, he caught all of the stones in his hand.
"One, two, three … twenty-six," The Lord carefully counted the faith stones in his palm and nodded. "They're all round stones of extremely high purity. The deal is very satisfactory, Your Excellency Dragon Fang.
Just to be frank, you're even more impressive when you're 'paying'. Looks like your harvest is much greater than mine. "
The black-clothed man's seemingly unintentional words made Zhang Lisheng's heart clench. With a smile, he said, "My harvest is not much different from yours, Your Lordship. The reason I threw the stones to you is because I've stayed on this damn island for a whole four months and so many things have happened during this period. Right now, I just want to complete the deal with you and leave quickly."
"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, Your Excellency Dragon Fang. We originally planned to be long-term 'business partners.' Don't tell me that it's already over after only two rounds of transactions?"
"It's over? Of course not," Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment before shrugging. "But unfortunately, the Darkwalkers that you've gathered can only defeat a tribe of 60,000 to 70,000 natives at most, and the highest limit is about 120,000 to 150,000 people. Right now, I really can't find a suitable target to attack anymore."
"I know that there are only two very large tribes left on the island now, but we still have a chance."
"There's a chance?" Zhang Lisheng was shocked and asked in astonishment, "What chance?"
"Take a long-term view, Your Excellency Dragon Fang. The civilization model of the Shrimp B1 Island's natives will never evolve on a closed island.
Those natives must have their own kind on other islands or even on the mainland. As long as we step out of this island … "
"It's not easy to step out of this island. Upon hearing the Lord's boastful words, Zhang Lisheng interrupted his words." The ocean and sky of this world do not welcome Earthlings. "
"You don't have to worry about this." The Lord smiled mysteriously. "I'm responsible for finding the other foreign world's islands and arranging the sailing to attack the native tribes.
You'll be responsible for providing the faith stones.
Of course, since I've done so much more work, my harvest will also increase accordingly. "
"Looks like you're very confident, Your Excellency." The Lord's confident look immediately aroused Zhang Lisheng's interest. "Alright, if you can really find the other islands where the natives live in the Shrimp World No. 2, then I'll pay you four faith stones for each native tribe of 10,000 people that you conquer according to the number of people.
20,000 people will be eight.
30,000 people will be 12 … a cumulative increase. "
"This trading condition is too harsh, Your Excellency Dragon Fang. Just like you said, the ocean and sky of this world do not welcome the creatures on Earth. If you want to find it here …"
"In that case, I'll give you four and a half stones, Your Excellency. I'll give you four and a half stones for conquering an indigenous tribe of 10,000 people. This is the maximum concession I can make." Zhang Lisheng interrupted the Lord's words with a blank expression.
"Deal, Your Excellency Dragon Fang. Give me a contact number so that I can inform you if there's any news."
"I'm eccentric and I like to wander around. Why don't you give me your contact number? We can make an agreement that I'll contact you once in a while."
"You're such a cautious person!" The Lord smiled. "How about this? You can log in to a website called 'New York's Late Night Land' every other month.
You'll see the theme of the month on the homepage. If it's about a successful voyage, you can use the name 'Forest Traveler L' to leave a message without any content other than the time and location of the meeting. "
"That's a good idea! It's a deal then!" Zhang Lisheng nodded. "Goodbye then, Your Excellency." After saying so, he commanded Ghostface to turn around and disappear into the dark jungle.
