Chapter 471 Fox's Cooperation Invitation
"Then look forward to seeing you next time."
Lu Chen smiled and picked up a roasted beef leg, and took a big bite.
Want to be really drunk...
Behind the simple desire is the epitome of food shortage.
To be honest, Lu Chen likes this bold orc very much. He may not be smart enough to be a king, but he has enough courage.
Byron didn't ask about the details of the new seed at all, so he believed himself.
After that battle, the two of them didn't need to say much.
Lu Chen would not ask when the other party would retreat, and Byron would not ask Lu Chen when the new seeds would be delivered.
It is easier for warriors to communicate with each other through swords and weapons.
They trust each other and are not the type to play tricks.
Naturally, Lu Chen would not breach the contract, and he also hoped that after the food crisis was resolved, he could have a drink with this bold orc man.
After midnight, Lu Chen left the orc camp, and the orc king Bailong personally saw him off.
He rejected the Beastman King's invitation to "stay here for a few days". Although he also liked to fight against the strong, Byron just fought casually, and his full strength would cost his lifespan.
Although the sparring time is short and doesn't consume much, it's too wasteful.
And he also needs to return to Sunset City to stabilize the morale of the army.
The torch on the city wall in the middle of the night is like a lighthouse guiding the way in the dark.
A defender saw the person coming from below and shouted: "It's Duke Godzilla who's back!"
After confirming that there was no movement in the orc army, the city gate was quickly opened to welcome Lu Chen into the city.
The defenders looked at Lu Chen longingly. Originally, when they saw the shocking movement from behind the orc camp, they thought it was Tan Beng fighting.
But then it seemed that the orcs lit a bonfire and cheered, as if they were having a banquet, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.
The defenders were restless, but they couldn't leave the city without the order of the army commander.
Bruce looked at the man at the gate of the city who was normal except for the slightly torn clothes, and gave a military salute, "Your Excellency, how is the situation?"
This is the issue that the Zhenxi army is most concerned about now. If the negotiation fails, they will inevitably have to fight the orc army.
"They will retreat. The brothers defending the city can take a good rest after the rotation tonight."
Lu Chen straightened his collar, and the wind of the night had a lot of damage. Fortunately, this piece of clothing can slowly repair itself.
When the defenders heard the words, they all showed surprise eyes. Maybe some people were mentally prepared to die in battle, but no one wanted to live.
After hearing this, Bryus looked at Duke Godzilla with complicated eyes, and felt guilty for having arranged the other party. Since the peace talks were successful, it meant that the empire had paid a price.
The Duke of Godzilla relieved the crisis in the western border, but he himself wanted to infamy on the back of the empire.
For a while, Bruce also began to be dissatisfied with King Kushra.
With such a broad-minded and impeccable elder brother, why can't you let go of that little obsession in your heart?
"My lord, how much food will our empire... have to pay this time?"
Bryus sighed and touched on the heavy subject.
Lu Chen passed by the head of the Bryus Legion, and said lightly: "I don't pay the annual money, I don't cut the land, I just paid a little price personally."
The fact that he has new seeds cannot be known to King Kushra for the time being, and he can't think of a good reason, so he can only say so vaguely.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the defenders in the city were even more awed for a moment, thinking that it must have something to do with the previous battle, or maybe something more terrible happened to the Duke.
Lu Chen looked at the eyes of those defenders, and didn't know what stories everyone would make up, so just pass it on, as long as it doesn't go too far.
"Your Excellency, I have already prepared a place for you to stay, please follow me."
Bruce walked to Lu Chen's side, ready to lead the way.
Lu Chen paused. He originally wanted to go back to meet Gu Lanting and the others, and then go straight back to the capital, but after thinking about it, he didn't need to be in such a hurry. It would be better to rest here for one night, just in case.
After taking Lu Chen to the room, Blius sighed and said, "It's hard to be a duke, this time, our Zhenxi army owes you [-] lives, and the people in the west also owe you. Although I also have a noble title, I am a I don't know much about politics, so I can't help you much."
He looked solemn: "But if one day, the Duke can return to the army, our Zhenxi Army will repay this kindness."
Lu Chen glanced at the other party with some surprise. Being able to be arranged by King Kuras to be the commander of the army in the western region is naturally considered a general he single-handedly selected.
He had heard that the orcs were going to attack the city, and he was worried that the person promoted by his stupid brother would take the lead in fleeing, but he didn't expect that the other party decided to stay and fight to the death.
He searched the memory of Duke Godzilla, and suddenly understood the reason.
He thought of Bryus, who was actually born in the Western Territory. His hometown is here, and his parents and fellow villagers are behind him. Of course, he cannot retreat.
And this time King Kushra's handling method also made this iron-blooded man a little dissatisfied. If he didn't come, it would be the needless death of the Zhenxi Army, and the blood in the western region would flow into rivers.
People are doing it, the sky is watching, justice is at ease.
Even if he succeeds in persuading the Beastman Empire to retreat this time without the seeds as a bargaining chip, he may not be able to stand up for his infamy. At least the people in the Western Region and the Zhenxi Army will appreciate his kindness.
And when he came to negotiate this incident, there might actually be other better ways to deal with it, but Lu Chen wasn't that smart, so he couldn't think of it.
King Kushra's move is a seemingly clever strategy, but it also contains extremely high risks.
And this kind of strategy is not something he can come up with, it is probably written by the explorers around King Kushra, and the attitude of these explorers... is a bit intriguing.
"It's just that the positions are different. They are all soldiers guarding the territory. The moment I saw that you were preparing to fight to the death, I knew I was in the right place."
Lu Chen hung the wind of the dark night on the hanger, which meant that he was ready to rest.
Bruce felt emotional in his heart, and left after giving a military salute, but he had a faint feeling in his heart that the sky of the empire might change in the near future.
Lu Chen sat on the bed, thinking about whether he would test the explorers of King Khusla's camp when he went back, when Kingslayer suddenly appeared in his hand and looked outside the door.
"As expected of a person who can obtain such an identity, he has a strong sense of perception."
The door was pushed open, and standing under the moonlight was a refined man with white ears and tail.
Lu Chen instantly understood that the other party was an explorer, and he was exposed.
The reason for the exposure was simple. The two jars of wine he gave to the Beastman King were produced by the space, and he hadn't changed the packaging.
A bead appeared in Fox's hand, emitting a radiance that enveloped the surroundings. Even if outsiders passed by, they could only see the closed door behind the camouflage, and could not hear any abnormal sounds.
"Introduce yourself, Circus, Fox, you may have heard of me, just call me Fox."
Fox performed an ancient Chinese etiquette, like a Confucian scholar who walked out of calligraphy and painting.
Lu Chen didn't make any excuses, it was insulting the IQ of himself and the other party, he could only say that he was not cautious enough this time, ignoring the possibility that there would be explorers by the Beast King's side.
Originally, he saw that the Beast King was very strong, and thought it was reasonable for Fox to be by his side all the time, so he didn't pay much attention.
"Sorry, never heard of it."
Lu Chen said lightly, he really hadn't heard of it.
The smile on Fox's face froze, but he returned to a warm smile in a moment, "I'm taking the liberty. I visit here at night. I don't have any malicious intentions, just pure curiosity."
"Curious what?"
Lu Chen's regicide is in front of his knees, ready to attack at any time. The attitude of explorers is the most difficult to figure out. Some explorers are simply lunatics, so he can't relax his vigilance.
"Curious about why you can obtain such a high initial status, curious about your strength, curious about what you want to do next."
Fox paced around the room, "I am curious about too many things, especially, you are such a strong explorer, but I have no impression of you in space, obviously the stronger fourth-order explorers are all in my mind There are records."
Lu Chenxin said that of course you have no impression of me, because I am not a fourth-order explorer at all, I am a first-order explorer.
"Now that you've seen it, are you here... to fight me?"
Lu Chen grinned and said, this world is an open primary world, and killing explorers also has a chance to drop the treasure chest of the dead.
Fox was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud, which made Lu Chen feel a little awkward, because he felt... this Fox laughed a bit.
"No, no, no, what good is it for me to fight with you? Is it the dead man's treasure chest? It would be a ghost if it can produce good things. At our level, of course we yearn for better things."
Fox waved his hand and said, he is equipped with epic equipment, and at least +8, this world is his trial for promotion to the fifth level.
Of course he didn't like the treasure chest of the dead of a fourth-order explorer.
What he is interested in now is only holy objects.
"Oh? Then you want to come to me...to cooperate?"
Lu Chen looked at the other party with interest. This man seemed very smart. To be honest, he didn't want to cooperate with such a person, because it was easy to trap himself.
But if the other party can help him, it's not impossible for him to consider it if it's a win-win situation.
"Cooperation?"
Fox laughed softly again, "It's not impossible, the water in this continent is much deeper than you imagined, especially in the abyss, there are many things to dig."
"what are the benefits?"
Lu Chen smiled playfully.
Fox didn't answer directly, but walked around for a while and said, "The reason you want those materials is because you have a botanical mage explorer under you? Let me think about it, who could it be? Oh... little fairy milk."
Lu Chen frowned, but he didn't expect the other party to say the name of Xiao Xiannai directly.
"Don't be surprised, I also remember the information of the third-order explorers very clearly. Although I usually only remember the strong ones, these few people are more funny and impressive."
Fox continued: "Your negotiation with the Beast King was wonderful, but it was too blunt, that is, Byron. If it were someone else, you might not go so smoothly, and you also overlooked some things."
He stretched out a finger, "For example, how should those supplies be transported, orcs? Where to transport them, do they have to pass through the sunset pass?"
Lu Chen thought for a while, he really didn't consider these issues in detail before, what the other party said made sense.
Transportation is a problem. Xiyangguan is a regular entry point, and if the orcs cross the mountains and enter the territory of the human race, it will also cause riots. The people under him are all watched by King Kushra, and it is impossible to go out of the king's capital to meet them.
"I will help you with this matter and let my explorers do it."
Naturally, Fox didn't have any companions in the adventure group. The subordinates he said were other explorers from the orc camp, and they were now attached to him.
"It's just a small thing, and I can handle it."
Lu Chen said lightly, he can also find other explorers to meet him, there are many ways to deal with it as long as he thinks about it.
Fox nodded, "Well, so this is just an expression of goodwill, not a bargaining chip for cooperation, and you don't need to do anything for me. Rather, I don't need your help right now."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Lu Chen felt that the man in front of him couldn't figure it out.
Fox laughed coquettishly, "I just want to meet new friends."
Seeing Lu Chen's increasingly dangerous eyes, Fox became serious again, and added: "It's too early to do big things now, you have to get back your military power first, so we can talk about things at the sacred level, We can only find a way to go to the abyss, I believe you will not be uninterested."
"Of course I want something holy, but I have the capital after I get back the military power. What do you have?"
Lu Chen tentatively said that in his opinion, Fox was at most a military adviser to the Beast King, and had no real power.
"I will find a way to get the Beastman King to participate in the battle against the abyss. Besides, am I not enough?"
After Fox's words fell, Lu Chen felt that the air seemed to condense in the next moment, and invisible air was stirring in the narrow room.
His eyes were serious. He felt that this person was strong before, but he didn't expect it to be so strong.
This is definitely an explorer standing at the top of Tier 100, with at least three main attributes, reaching the pinnacle of Tier [-], [-] points!
"Haha, just kidding, what's the use of personal force, the upper limit is the upper limit after all, if we want to plan the abyss, we have to learn to use our brains."
Fox withdrew his breath, "It's been a long time since I saw an explorer with amazing personal specialization ability like you, so I came here to meet you."
He threw a magic spar to Lu Chen, "Personally, if you have difficult problems in the king, maybe I can help you think about it. Of course, it's not free. In the future, we will cooperate to produce sacred items. The first The item must belong to me."
As he said that, he walked towards the door on his own, as if he remembered something again, and turned back and said: "By the way, since you may go to the abyss before me, I will give you an extra piece of information. There is a troublesome guy who came in this world. You Better pay attention."
Lu Chen looked at Fox who was hurrying back and forth, and put away the regicide in front of his lap.
"Crazy?"
This guy talked a lot to himself when he came here, and said he could help me with my advice?
Do I look like an unintelligent person?
However, he can consider cooperation. He is not arrogant enough to think that he can penetrate the world all by himself. The other party has a high status in the orc clan and is a military advisor. big.
