Chapter 669 Negotiation
After hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, everyone was in a daze for a moment.
"I don't understand what you mean..."
"To put it simply, I discovered here that a cultist who believed in an evil god was creating some kind of virus and plague, and trying to spread it to other areas. So I killed him, and in order to prevent the remaining plague from that guy from spreading, I just purified the entire Lost Land. What’s the problem now?”
“This………………”
Everyone was speechless, while the Elf Ranger frowned.
"Just because of this, you destroyed all the creatures in the Lost Land?"
"Just for this?"
Hearing the elf ranger's words, Duanmu Huai looked at her with cold eyes.
"Once the plague spreads and is leaked, the world may become a hell, and countless innocent people will die. Do you mean that compared to those innocent people, the few cats and dogs in the Lost Land are more important? ?”
"Woo......"
Faced with Duanmu Huai's cold rebuke, the Elf Ranger was speechless for a moment, but the warrior as the representative of Silver Moon City did not speak - he was also a human being after all, and emotionally, the warrior agreed with Duan Muhuai's point of view.
"By the way, I have sent people to investigate the mutation problem in the Supreme Forest. If you elves cannot handle this matter, then in order to avoid threats to humans, the Tribunal may consider completely destroying the Supreme Forest when necessary."
"What?!"
Hearing this, the Elf Ranger couldn't help it.
"What right do you have to do this! You can't do this!"
"Power?"
Facing the elf ranger's protest, Duanmu Huai stared at her coldly.
"The Inquisition protects humanity at all costs and by all means, and we will never allow humanity to be implicated because of the stupid compassion of you damn environmentalists."
"You will go to war with all races in the High Forest!"
"The Tribunal does not allow questioning or hostility. Anyone who dares to hinder us will be treated as a heretic."
"Uh... Mr. Duanmu?"
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two parties was getting stronger and stronger, Amelia had to step forward and interrupt the quarrel between the two parties.
"Shouldn't we consider how to treat it first? It's like in Neverwinter..."
"That's because Neverwinter City has found a way to treat the plague. If you don't have a treatment method or the treatment method is ineffective, then I will also consider blowing up Neverwinter City to the sky. Just like here, this is my go to Neverwinter City. One of the reasons.”
"Uh..."
Faced with Duanmu Huai's frank answer, Amelia was immediately defeated.
"The Elven God will not allow such behavior."
The elf ranger glared at Duanmuhuai fiercely, while the latter's eyes were cold.
"Then if he has the ability, he can come to me directly. I have already killed Rose, the Spider Queen. If Corellon has the courage, I don't mind sending the couple to reunite under the Nine Springs."
"What? Did you do it?"
It has to be said that Duanmu Huai's casual bomb shocked everyone. The fall of Spider Queen Rose was the biggest news during this period. No one knew who had done it. But most people thought that this should be done by some god, but... it was actually the Inquisition? ?
To be honest, everyone immediately thought they were bragging, but...what's the benefit of bragging like this? Rose is indeed an evil god, but she is still a god after all. An organization that can destroy gods is enough for other forces to regard it as a formidable enemy - isn't the Inquisition afraid of it?
"I'm not afraid to tell you that the ancient evil god is awakening, and your world has been targeted. This is why the Tribunal appears here. We will do our best to protect mankind and expel evil spirits by all means. ”
"Cut."
Upon hearing this, the dwarf immediately complained in a low voice.
"Then why don't you deal with those evil gods yourself?"
"Because the current Tribunal does not have the power to fight against the ancient evil gods."
"Huh??"
I have to say that Duanmu Huai's candid answer really surprised everyone. They had to know that when the dwarf complained just now, they were all prepared for Duanmu Huai to get angry. They didn't expect that Duanmu Huai was arguing with the elf ranger just now. The warrior who seemed so violent at the time was quite calm now.
"What's wrong? What I said is just the truth. Don't talk about the Tribunal. Even if the true gods you believe in unite, it is not certain whether they can be the opponent of the ancient evil gods. So I hope you can advise yourself when you pray. God, don’t just give someone away casually, or you might wake up one day and find that your immediate boss has been replaced.”
"Is it really that scary?"
Emilia looked serious, and the others were stunned and speechless for a moment.
"Of course, your gods do have some strength, but the power of the ancient evil gods is far superior to them. It's okay that the world is now guarded by crystal walls. What if any idiot is tempted and wants to open the door and look outside? What's there...that It's over, so you'd better warn Tyr and tell him to watch out for those idiots. This is no small fight in the war of gods. Once the lackeys of the ancient evil gods invade, none of your true gods will be able to escape. Die.”
"Crystal wall??"
"Your gods know what it means. Just convey my words to them. Although I can also go to them myself, but I have no interest in the gods of this world. Since you are here, just be responsible for conveying the message. The rest Let them spread the gossip among themselves. Whether they listen or not is up to them.”
I have to say that hearing Duanmu Huai's unceremonious evaluation of the gods really made everyone present feel a little embarrassed. After all, to them, gods are superior, unlike Duanmu Huai who feels short-sighted and like the aunt next door. The existence of such casual evaluation......
Duanmuhuai shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much. Of course he knew that this would definitely have some impact on the gods of this world, but Duanmuhuai didn't care. At least he has explained it, letting the gods of this world know what to face, instead of trying to hide the truth of the empire like that idiot Emperor. Anyway, I have warned you, if you yourself If you act stupid again, don't blame me for not warning you idiots. If anything happens to you, the Inquisition will come directly to your door.
Don't say that you didn't predict what you said. "I already understand what you mean."
At this time, the representative soldier had to step forward again and bring the topic back.
"So, what you mean is that the Inquisition will stay here for a long time?"
"Of course, the Lost Land is already the territory of the Tribunal, and no one is allowed to enter without permission."
"Hey? Don't you plan to build villages and cities here...?"
It must be said that Duanmu Huai's answer surprised the man. He originally thought that the Inquisition would use the Lost Land as its basis to expand its power and absorb the population. After all, many things require a lot of money and manpower to complete. He originally thought that Duanmu Huai planned to become a lord here...
"No interest, no need."
Duanmuhuai shook his head.
"The Tribunal is a sharp blade that pierces the heart of the evil god. We don't need too much burden. It doesn't matter if someone is smart and wants to use the Tribunal. I'm afraid they won't be able to bear the price that comes with it."
Hearing this, the soldier immediately understood what Duanmu Huai meant. The Tribunal is not an ordinary lord force. They are obviously full of aggression and threats, which will naturally make many gods from the evil camp hostile to them. If the Tribunal operates territory here, then those gods from the evil camp may Will try every means to harass them. For example, massacre one or two innocent farms, or conduct some evil conspiracy and transaction in the market to bring disaster to the entire territory.
The Tribunal obviously did not want this to happen, so they simply refused to allow others to enter. This also explains why they built the fine iron gate outside the Lost Land. They seemed to intend to put the Lost Land into Transformed into a pure military fortress…………
Logically speaking, this was a good thing, but the soldier soon became acutely aware of it. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at Duanmu Huai.
"I can understand your thinking, but I suggest that you should still open your territory and allow people to join."
"Reason."
Duanmu Huai crossed his arms and stared at the warrior in front of him.
"As you said, the Tribunal is a sharp blade, and this sharp blade will arouse the fear of others. They will weaken you at all costs or even eliminate you. Indeed, as you said, if you open your territory and accept your people , then you will bring poison and evil to your people, but if you do not open up your territory, they will not stop doing so, and our city will suffer as a result. ”
"You mean, these guys are going to give you trouble?"
"This is to be expected."
The warrior nodded.
"If they cause trouble in our city, the Inquisition will definitely be dispatched, but I think many people are not happy to see the Inquisition interfering in other people's territory."
"Haha, that makes sense."
Duanmu Huai smiled coldly. He understood what the soldier wanted to say. The Tribunal would never allow any questioning or hostile behavior. Of course, in modern society, they would basically allow others to grossly interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. However, the Tribunal did not care about this. But those evil gods may take advantage of this to cause the Inquisition to fight against those they are supposed to protect.
Duanmuhuai didn't care about being disliked, but he didn't like being plotted against.
"So, what you are saying is that by opening the Tribunal to attract the people, you can focus all the bad attention on the territory of the Tribunal, thereby ensuring the safety of Silvermoon City?"
"Indeed."
"Interesting."
Duanmuhuai stared at the warrior in front of him and remained silent for a moment.
"Okay, I will consider your suggestion, but now, let's deal with some more troublesome things."
Having said this, Duanmu Huai turned his head and cast his gaze to the side.
"Ogis, you're back? How's the situation?"
"Master."
The adventurers were startled when they heard the sudden sound coming from beside them. They turned their heads and looked around, only to find that a silver-haired girl in a black dress had appeared beside them at some point. She stared with an unchanging expression. Sitting on Duanmuhuai, he seemed not to care about the people around him.
"Report it."
"Yes, the pollution in the Supreme Forest is still spreading. We tried to go deep, but were blocked by the tree people. Currently, Qiuwei is at war with the tree people."
"It seems they want to taste the power of the promethium flamethrower."
Duanmu Huai's voice became extremely cold.
"Order the Night Guard to prepare and head to the Supreme Forest! We must completely eliminate the source of pollution!"
"Yes."
"Wait, you can't do this!"
Upon hearing this, the Elf Ranger screamed.
"Treants are the guardians of the Supreme Forest. What you do is an enemy of the entire Supreme Forest."
"The premise is that the Supreme Forest is not completely burned down by us."
Duanmuhuai didn't even look at the elf ranger, and strode forward.
"Ready to go!"
