Chapter 626 Negotiation
A winding river crosses the land, and the water in the river flows calmly.
But the atmosphere on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is very uneasy.
On the north bank, large numbers of war horses were galloping, raising pieces of smoke and dust that seemed to cover the entire sky. The knights on the horse were all tall and strong orcs with fierce expressions. They held weapons and constantly showed off their horse skills. From time to time, they cast provocative eyes towards the other side and made various strange sounds from their mouths.
There was another army on the south bank of the river. Different from the noisy orcs on the opposite side, they did not run around, but lined up neatly in square formations. From officers to soldiers, they were all different. He said something and stared at the other side with a solemn expression.
One is in a boiling state, and the other is in full formation, both full of murderous intent.
Siegfried put his hand on his forehead and frowned as he looked at the orc army on the opposite side.
These barbarians seemed to be disorganized, running around in a mess, as if they could be dispersed by an organized army, just like a pile of loose sand.
But Siegfried knows that if you really charge rashly, the orcs will retreat in a seemingly disorderly but actually orderly way, tempting you to pursue them step by step, and your army will pursue them. The middle lengthened step by step and became scattered.
Sometimes in order to promote this state, orcs will deliberately leave some property behind to lure enemy soldiers to snatch it.
When the enemy's defense reveals a gap, they will transform from a pile of scattered sand into a ferocious pack of wolves. With the help of high-speed moving horses, they can break through the enemy's defense loopholes and disrupt the enemy's formation.
During this period, there will be orc cavalry on the outside who will continue to harass with bows and arrows, cooperating with the heavy cavalry rushing into the formation.
Eventually the orcs' enemies will face a horrific rout.
In the previous confrontations, fortunately, Gabera himself had a large number of cavalry as auxiliary troops. In addition, the imperial army was better equipped than the orc barbarians, so he was able to fight with the army at a disadvantage despite the size of the army. The orcs fought to a draw.
While Antonio and Siegfried were observing the orcs, the top brass of the orc army were also observing the Gabela army.
"It is indeed a powerful country in the human world!"
Great Chief Abal looked at the other side with some envy.
“Look at that neat formation, look at that sophisticated armor, and those sharp weapons, they are all worthy of our study.”
“The great Chief Abar!”< br>
The general Arroyo next to him shouted: "We can also arrange in a neat formation, but those armors and weapons are not easy to handle!"
"That's what I want you to do to treat those human craftsmen well!"
The eyes of the great chief Abar flashed, "They are all precious treasures. We orcs are good at fighting, but we don't have the patience to make artifacts. And brains, we have to rely on humans for this!"
Arroyo opened his mouth wide, and his huge fangs shined in the sunlight.
“Great Abar, I will plunder more slaves from the human world and offer them to you. They will bring more skills, and their skills will make you happier.”
"Idiot!" Abal whipped him with a whip, but it didn't hurt.
"I want subjects, not slaves!"
"Yes! Yes! Great Abal."
Arroyo laughed, knowing that the chief did not really Angry, "I will bring you more subjects, and they will be as numerous as ants!"
Callum, who had been silently staring at the human army, reminded aloud: "It's almost time Now, I think you should go over."
"Okay! Just let me meet the little lions of Gabella!"
Abal laughed.
"Well, they seem to have come out over there!"
Siegfried, who has good eyesight, said, "We should go there too."
"Let's go! "Antonio nodded.
Aldrich on the side also shook the reins, and the mount's hooves started to move. Antonio, Siegfried, and Aldrich walked to the river together.
On the other side of the river from the orcs, Abal, Collum, and Arroyo also walked towards the river.
"Eagle! Eagle! Eagle on the grassland!"
The orc cavalry stopped wandering, clenched their fists and raised their arms, shouting continuously.
The rolling momentum rushed to the other side of the river.
Abal waved his hand proudly.
“Hmph!” Aldrich waved, and the Gabella army behind him immediately started making noises.
"Lions! Lions! Lions! Gabela's lions!"
Although the number is small, they are all uniform, and their momentum is not inferior to that of the orcs.
Two groups of people each took a small boat and came to a large fixed raft in the middle of the river, with tables and stools placed on it.
Abal and Antonio see each other up close for the first time.
“My brother!”
Abal opened his arms and greeted Antonio.
Siegfried frowned upon hearing this. "My brother" is a common title used by rulers of human nations when they meet.
A foreign barbarian actually used it!
"Dear Chief Abal!"
Antonio did not hesitate, stepped forward and hugged Abal, but did not call him "my brother".
Callum and Arroyo next to Abal all showed sullen looks on their faces. These self-esteemed humans believed from the bottom of their hearts that the orcs were inferior to them.
The two people in the center of the raft sat down across the table. Although they were still fighting on the battlefield yesterday, today they seemed to be discussing a business.
Antonio smiled, but frowned, "I have to admit, Chief Abal, I always think you are impolite, entering other people's homes as guests without being invited by the host."
"Oh, don't get me wrong, Your Highness!" Abal said with a sincere expression, "Actually, I just brought my people here to see if you need help. The situation in Gabela seems a bit... unstable ? Especially about you."
"I think you are joking,"
Aldridge, standing behind Antonio, said: "Now in Gabela. There is only one legal heir, His Highness. No matter what some people are thinking, he has only one choice in action."
"Okay! Let's speak openly! His Majesty Antonio, what practical matters should we talk about? ”
“The Corridor of Nairodan!”
Antonio looked at Abal and said directly, "As long as you retreat here, that big valley will be yours."
Abal's heartbeat accelerated, "Huh! Nerodan is in Aldo's hands!" "
"I have a way to get your army in there! Of course, the rest is up to you," Antonio said.
"You have a way? Why?" Abal didn't believe it.
“I know what you are doing with the dwarves!” Antonio smiled.
Abal was shocked.
