Chapter 212: Negotiation

"Can we advance the purchase of food from the Princess Regent?" Marshall then threw another possibility.
　　 Whether it is the catch of the Inland Lake of Andes or the harvest of the Northern Fortress from the Kogel grassland, even if it succeeds, the local food crisis will be resolved by then.
　　 Whether it is a catch or cattle or sheep, it is not convenient to transport in the Andes Mountains.
　　Especially the northern fortress, where the mountains are more complicated and the food transportation is very difficult. It takes up a lot of manpower and material resources of the Yongye Group Army. They can solve a part of their own use. Only Amitabha, where can they expect it to subsidize the Yongye Group Army.
　　 When all the internal methods have been thought of, I can only look at the outside.
　　 They just picked up the regent princess Sophie Liya through Angel Beina, it is undoubtedly a good choice.
　　 Sean rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "You can buy food, but how do you get it back?"
　　 When the Yongye Group Army had a food crisis, Sean had already thought of buying food from the regent Princess Sophie Liya.
　　 It is not difficult to buy grain from her hands. Not to mention that the two sides have already had an intersection because of the Spring Thunder Plan. Even if there is no intersection, Sophie Liya has no reason to refuse the purchase of grain by the Yongye Group Army.
　　Time will wash away many things, such as inheritance, historical traces, and hatred.
Unlike the Odin orcs, who have always been in a strong position, limited by the geographical environment, the situation of the Andeans is getting worse and worse. Even at the peak, it can only harm the army leader of Manyu. These years, it has been weaker. The status has been suppressed by the leader of the Man Yu army.
Even if the leaders of the Manyu army remember that the Andeans came out as a disaster, there are not many, let alone the Byron Alliance, especially with the release of slaves, many former Andis slaves have become Byron Alliance Part.
　　 At best, many ruling classes of the Byron Alliance look down on the Andeans and regard them as wild people in the wild, and hate and beware are not enough.
　　 But how to transport food back from the Asia Minor Plain is a big problem.
At the beginning, Sean and Sophie Liya discussed the purchase of grain, which was based on the reflow of the Jacob River. Then, together with the merchant ship prepared in advance in his hands, he would transport the grain back to the Andes Mountains. Too easy.
　　 But the changes inside the Andes Mountains completely disrupted the plan.
　　If you want to transport food by land, it takes time and labor to only one aspect. The most important thing is safety.
　　 said unceremoniously, the most valuable thing in the Man Yu army is food now.
In the good weather, the military leaders of Manyu may not be able to guarantee the self-sufficiency of food, let alone the years of war, the cultivated land is so barren, and now many nobles and nobles have to tighten their belts, let alone the low-level ones. Leading people, many have been unable to open the pot.
At the beginning, the bottom of Sishuicheng was at most a small volcano. Now it is a super volcano under the leader of Manyu. Whether it is for official forces such as Patlem and Philip or the slave rebel army, it is a kind of torment.
　　 The slave rebels created the opposition of the lord and nobles because of oppression and hunger, but now those at the bottom may also create their opposition because of hunger.
　　The so-called dream and righteousness are far more important than filling the stomach.
　　 It is an impossible task to transport a large amount of food across the border. At that time, there will be countless pairs of eyes. Whether it is a wild force or an official force, it is possible to directly transform into bandits and rob them.
Even among the many forces led by the Man Yu army, except for the first heir Philip, who is more racist, Pat Lem, who now has the Holy See of the Holy See as the backer, has more or less intersection with the Yongye Group. Maintain an ambiguous relationship.
　　 robbed them, and they are also not merciful.
　　 In the final analysis, the two sides are just interests.
　　 But in this situation, what is more important than a large amount of food?
　　 At most, in the process of robbing the Yongye Group Army, they stood up to other names and turned their faces and refused to admit it afterwards.
　　 Nobles are the creatures with the least discipline and bottom line in the world.
　　 In this area, the regent princess Sophie Liya obviously has a deep understanding. When Sean proposed to buy food, her first reaction was to solve the transportation problem by herself.
　　 Obviously, she is very aware of the virtues of these nobles, as long as the benefits are large enough, there is nothing they dare to do.
　　 The name of his own regent princess, out of the plains of Asia Minor, the effect will be greatly reduced, and when you grab it, you will not be merciless.
　　 buckling after the fact is a common method used by these nobles.
　　 "Benefit exchange, aren't you the best at this? Let the men led by the Man Yu army help us carry food."
　　 was pushed by Chad, and McGee the Skullcrusher sulked for a while. Now that he heard a new question, he couldn't bear to express his opinion.
　　 There is no doubt that it provokes another glance.
　　 McGee said with an innocent look: "Aren't you calling every day, is the exchange of interests an unfavorable means between forces?"
"The exchange of benefits also depends on circumstances. For those forces in the Manyu Army, what benefits are more attractive than food? Let's let them transport food, that is, meat buns and dogs, there is no return." Marshall is patient. Explained.
"Well, anyway, you just said everything is reasonable, but if it doesn't work, you will re-churn the water of the Manyu army to see if there is a chance to profit from it." Although McGee the Skullcrusher has been growing, But on such matters, it is difficult to have any constructive opinions.
　　 was even ignored this time.
　　 Fish in troubled waters.
　　 Simple to say but difficult to do.
　　 Especially this kind of profit from many forces.
　　 In addition to the right time and place, it takes a little bit of luck.
　　 The most important thing is that they have just decided on the strategy of the northern fortress, and it is impossible for them to take the initiative to provoke incidents on the side of the Manyu army.
　　 Yongye Group Army does not have the ability to profit from both ends.
　　 "Let's take a long-term view, this is a backup option, multi-pronged, everyone works together to overcome this difficulty, as long as we get through, our future will go more smoothly." Xiao En waved his arm heavily.
　　 "Yes, we have come all the way from a few thousand people to hundreds of thousands of people now, so what can we do?"
　　 "The Walled City Alliance is not our opponent, and the Mountain Kentana Barbarians are not our opponent. How can we bow our heads above the small gap in food."
　　 "There are countless people watching us below. We must not fall down first. We must take the lead and overcome difficulties together."
　　 Everyone cheered up and cheered up.
　　 In addition to the strategic direction, they also brainstormed, discussed some local benefits, and strived to make full use of the available resources.
　　 Looking down from the sky, the Yongye Army is like an irregular mollusk.
　　 The heaviest part was originally in the direction of Andis Inland Lake, but with the sudden change of circumstances, the Walled City Alliance has agreed to a peaceful merger, and the center of gravity has begun to shift.
　　 A new round of screening work began, and a large amount of manpower and material resources began to be transferred in the direction of the northern fortress.
　　 Including the Walled City Alliance is also within the scope of screening.
　　The peaceful annexation of the Yongye Group Army to the Walled City Alliance is not just a matter of replacing the flag of the Yongye Group Army on the head of the Sishui City, but a gradual process.
　　 In addition to carrying out a wave of war refugee diversion, the Walled City Alliance still maintains its independence. The relevant government policies do not directly apply the Yongye Group Army, and are still presided over by Ban Hebrew at the original pace.
　　 But Ban Hebrew now only has administrative power, not military power.
In addition to retaining a handful of local armed personnel to maintain law and order, the army that was broken up by the mountain Kentana barbarians did not regroup. Instead, the Evernight Group Army set up recruitment points here, from which the elite parts were selected and dispersed to various corps. in.
　　 It won’t take long for the outstanding adjutants of the Yongye Group to train them into outstanding soldiers.
　　 As long as the most essential part of this part is swallowed, no matter how careful Ben Hebrew is, it is no use.
　　 It is worth mentioning that the bloodline stability of the mountain Kentana barbarian is far higher than that of the Andean.
　　 According to the current screening investigation of the Yongye Group Army.
　　 In the environment of high concentration of magical energy like the Grand Canyon of Odin, six out of ten Andis people will suffer from unstable blood vessels and various complications.
　　 Don't think this is a good thing, the Evernight Army can train a large number of warlocks.
　　 This kind of external environmental stimulus, the bloodline instability that appears, most of them are malignant, and only a few will be able to awaken into warlocks by then, most of them don't know what monster they become, and then the bloodline collapses and died miserably.
　　 Those beasts of the Institute of Biological Anomaly that failed to return to ancient times are the best evidence.
　　 The proportion of the mountain Kentana barbarians is the opposite of that of the Andeans. Only three out of ten reacts, and the situation is usually not too serious.
　　 What’s more interesting is that the mountainous Kentana barbarians who reacted are usually not pure, and most of them are still flowing with the blood of Andes and Odin.
　　 This has directly become a new topic of the Institute of Biological Anomaly.
　　 If they can crack this mystery, their research on magical energy will go further.
　　 Sean made a bold assumption about this. Is this situation related to the origin of the legendary warlock?
　　 According to legend, the ancient Andeans do not have the ability to cast spells, until they frantically purify the blood of an unknown creature into their offspring, warlocks will appear.
　　 Andean blood is mixed with blood genes of other species, so it is naturally more susceptible to external energy.
　　Kentana barbarians are indigenous peoples born and bred in Ashan. The bloodline genes have become extremely stable during the long evolutionary process, and they are naturally not easily affected.
　　 But this requires careful verification.
　　 After all, legends are the most unreliable, especially the legends thousands of years ago.
　　The war between the Yongye Group Army and the Mountain Kentana Barbarian Cliff Clan did not end with the annihilation of the Cliff Clan invasion army, but just started.
　　 But the battlefield is no longer the mountain of Andes, but the negotiation table.
　　 There are aliens in any race. Locke, nicknamed Papa, is an alien among the mountain barbarians of Kentana.
　　 In a race that likes to speak with their fists, people who are good at using the brain are of course heterogeneous.
　　 Before confronting Daddy Locke, Sean couldn't imagine what a barbarian with the figure of a giant bear but the cunning temperament of a fox would look like.
Talking and personality aside, Daddy Locke is a standard Kentana barbarian who can’t be more standard. He has a stature like a Yale and he can’t do much. However, in addition to a rock-like tendon, his body is also covered with everything. All kinds of scars, both from fighting with people, and from fighting with nature.
　　 has grey hair and more obvious crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, but his voice and appetite are still scary, just like his courage.
　　 Running single-handedly to the enemy's territory and negotiating with the enemy does require extraordinary courage, and it also shows in a disguised form that the opponent's current situation is not good.
　　 With so many captives in their hands, the situation of the eastern mountains of the Andes, the Yongye Group has long been known.
The situation over there is now a bit complicated. The Cliff Clan has invaded the Andes Mountains. In addition to the fact that Gergild took the initiative to send it to the door, there is also a bit of helplessness that belongs to him. Even without Gergild, it will not take long. It is also possible to build your own raft and cross the great lake to invade the Andes Mountains.
　　The hardship of Dongluan's living environment is only one aspect. Since they have been able to take root here for so many years, there is no problem with the output here barely able to feed them.
　　 The crux of the problem lies in Kentana Icefield, his own clan.
Although the Kentana barbarians have always looked down on the mountain Kentana barbarians, they have always regarded them as hybrids, but for so many years, they have maintained a certain relationship with each other and exchanged special and scarce properties—the Kentana barbarians did not As rumors outside, there is no way to exchange transactions.
　　 As long as there are logical thinking races, there will inevitably be transactions between UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but the difference between backward and advanced, simple and complex.
　　 However, this kind of transaction is obviously based on the balance between property surplus and force. When the two first mentioned conditions deviate, all that is left is plunder by force.
　　 The same people on the Kentana ice sheet brought fewer and fewer deals to the mountain Kentana barbarians, and more of them were naked invasion and plunder.
Fortunately, the ties between the barbarian clans on the Kentana ice sheet have not been very close. Large tribes with more than a thousand people are extremely rare. Although they are better than most mountain barbarians in the mountains, the latter have The superiority in numbers is often the failure of the invasion, but was annexed by the mountain barbarians of Kentana.
The reason why the Barbarian clans have such an abnormal behavior is that the climate on the Kentana Ice Sheet has been somewhat complicated and changeable in recent years. The two food sources they depend on for their livelihoods, Kodo and Walrus, have problems at the same time. Then, only through external plunder, let his clan continue.
　　 Compared with other unsettled Kentana barbarian tribes, the mountainous Kentana barbarian living in a fixed location is naturally the first choice for plunder.
　　 Compared to the Odin orcs who are also nomads, the Kentana barbarians have a more fragile survival system and less disaster resistance. Once a certain link changes, they will face the crisis of extinction.
　　 In the past two years, the abnormal weather on the Kentana Ice Field has not only shown no signs of improvement, but it has become more and more intense. Even the big clans are a little unable to hold it, and they have begun to surge towards the Andes.
　　 The most terrible thing is that the opponent not only has a permanent posture in the eastern mountains of the Andes, but also has a tendency to gather and unite.
