Every time he fought, his cultivation level would improve a lot. After fighting with Han Ru, Xiao Han felt that his cultivation level had been stable at the lower level of the middle god level, so a fighting ** slowly rose in his body.
The most suitable opponent around Xiao Han is naturally Long Wu. Xiao Han proposed to compete, and Long Wu happily agreed, but the time for the competition was delayed because it was really not suitable for competition at this time.
"Miss, tonight, the werewolf commander invited Mr. Xiao and Lord Long Wu to the banquet, and also sent us invitations. Should we go?" Rong Xin and Ike's camp, Uncle Rong was injured and asked with an invitation.
Nowadays, Crescent Paper has been developed for many purposes. After the bright red invitations, soft toilet paper and other series of paper products were launched, they have achieved great success. Moreover, paper is a consumable, but due to production, these paper products can only be used in the hands of rich people and nobles. If they want to popularize them to the common people, they may have to wait several years!
"Where is my elder brother now?" Rong Xin Ike asked.
"It's still in Shuofang City." Uncle Rong said.
"No!" Rong Xin Ike shook his head, "He must be in the imperial city now. My elder brother must be trying to urge him to seize power while I am away!"
"What should I do? Miss, why don't we go back?" Uncle Rong said anxiously.
"Haha, since I have guessed it, will he still succeed?" Rong Xin Ike smiled and said, "Although the ancestor's injuries have not been cured yet, it is almost done. As long as he is there, the elder brother will not want to seize power!"
"What, the old man's injury?" Uncle Rong said in surprise.
"I think Mr. Xiao asked for a wounded medicine. After my ancestors took this medicine, his injuries suddenly improved and it was no longer a serious problem!" Rong Xin Ike explained.
Uncle Rong said in surprise: "Miss, is this true?"
"Of course, this time, I'm afraid it's hard to come out again!" Rong Xin Ike said with some pain.
"Miss, this Mr. Xiao's great kindness..."
"From the future, our Ike family and the Xiao family in Fengcheng will be a family!" said Rong Xin Ike.
"A family?" Uncle Rong didn't understand for a moment. When he saw Rong Xin and Ike's dementia, he immediately understood and said hurriedly, "Yes, it's a family!"
Shuning led a team of ten people to split up with Xiao Han in Quark Town. In order to save transportation capacity, Shuning's five hundred people were directly sent to the province of Doro, while Gala and Zhu Yinggu hurried over from Fengcheng with another five hundred people, and there were also 105 light vultures accompanying him!
Xiao Han had two invitations, one from the Great Yue Kingdom, he kept it himself, and the other was sent to himself separately. He gave it to Gala. At that time, his five hundred people could enter the Orc Empire with this invitation, because a large group of people like him would have no time to wait for them.
Besides, after entering the Orc Empire, their safety will be under the Orc Empire. There is no need to worry about the thieves in the area ruled by the Orcs. There is no need to worry about the thieves in the area ruled by the Orcs. There is no need to worry about the uninhabited thousands of miles away.
The wolf was cunning and cruel, so before the banquet, Zi Yun specifically told Xiao Han to be careful, but the orcs were about to establish a country, so Bruce couldn't play any tricks, and he annoyed the Beast King, so he, the commander of the wolf cavalry, would have done his best.
The Wolf Cavalry is also considered a very famous army in the Orc Empire. Commander Bruce is also the pride of the werewolf clan. He can lead 100,000 wolf cavalry and famous human generals. Shu Wangbei, the Zhenbei Gong of the Purple Gold Empire, has been fighting for decades. This is already amazing, not to mention that he is also a holy master!
In addition to the banquet for Xiao Han and others, Bruce also had congratulatory missions from the Meijia Empire, representatives of the Situ family, Ouyang family and Ye family.
All these four major families gathered in Bruce's central army tent.
What did Bruce want to do and provoke the struggle between the four major human families? As soon as he entered Bruce's central army tent, he saw representatives of the other three major families and representatives of the congratulatory missions of the Mega Empire, Xiao Han frowned slightly.
As the saying goes, there is no good banquet for this banquet, and this banquet for Bruce is indeed not delicious!
"General Bruce, I think some people are not qualified to enter this central army tent!" When someone saw Xiao Han coming in, he took the lead.
Xiao Han saw that he was still an old acquaintance, Situ Jun, the one who pursued Rong Xin and Ike.
Xiao Han ignored the boy's intentional provocation and walked to his seat with a calm expression. The position in the military tent was ranked among senior citizens. Long Wu is the representative of the Dragon Clan and the master of the Dragon Hall. The position is naturally the first place in the left head, and Xiao Han is ranked second in the left head, followed by Rong Xin and Ike, followed by Bingyun, and Ning Xiner is not as good as Bingyun in terms of identity and status. After all, she is also from a family, so she can only sit on the side of Xiao Han.
What Xiao Han and the others faced was led by the Meijia Empire, and the Situ family, Ouyang family and Ye family, which happened to be four to four!
"Young Master of Situ, I don't know who the ineligible person you are talking about is?" werewolf commander Bruce smiled slightly and asked Situ Junxiang.
"General Bruce, what you invited tonight were the most powerful representatives of the vast continent, and one of us was just an envoy from a small country and was not qualified to be on an equal footing with us!" Situ Jun said proudly, and even looked at Xiao Han with a provocative gaze.
"Did Young Master Situ say to me?" Xiao Han laughed and stood up and asked.
Situ Jun said coldly: "You know whether it is you or not!"
"May I ask, Young Master Situ, who is the host of this banquet today?" Xiao Han asked with a smile. He had long seen that Situ Jun saw him and Rong Xin and Ike walk in together, and was jealous, so he deliberately made things difficult for him. As for so many people in the tent, they were all waiting to see jokes, and no one stopped him.
"Of course it's General Bruce!"
"Since General Bruce invited me, it means I have this qualification. If even the host invites a guest and needs the consent of the guest, then why did this guest invite?" Xiao Han said in a humble and arrogant manner.
There was no change in Bruce's furry wolf's face, obviously he had already expected that this was just a farce.
"The head of the young master of Situ, Lord Xiao Han is my guest for banquet. I will know whether he is qualified. Please don't have to argue." Bruce said at the right time.
Upon hearing this, Situ Jun glared at Xiao Han hatefully and sat down angrily.
"Okay, I will be very happy tonight. I will be able to invite friends from the four major families, the Mega Empire, the Dragon Clan and the Wind City to gather at my Central Army tent. Come on, let's have a drink first!" Bruce said excitedly.
The wine was pretty good, so everyone stopped drinking it after a brief taste, so they stopped drinking!
"Actually, I will invite you to come here. I have something to ask you for help!" Bruce drank the glass of wine in one sip, put it down and said.
For a moment, everyone looked a little worried. What could the commander of the wolf cavalry ask them for?
No one can speak about this matter, so they can only remain silent.
"You all know that the Orc Empire is about to be established. This is a good thing. You are also invited to congratulate you. But I know that in fact, you don't want to see the Orcs establish an empire. In fact, to be honest, I don't want to. The Central Army's tent is all my confidants. There is no one within a hundred meters. Don't worry!" Bruce said.
Which of the people here is not human favor? There are also power struggles in the orc empire, and they also have racial conflicts. This time, the werewolf must have suffered great losses in the distribution of interests and power, but what exactly does Bruce want to come to them to find them?
With such a big fanfare, aren’t you afraid of being known to others?
"Our werewolf clan will be moved to the land under your feet you see. Although it is not small, our werewolf clan is not good at farming and grazing. The wolf cavalry also has military rations guaranteed, but it will be difficult for our tribe to survive. It turns out that our werewolf gathering places can survive by hunting, but now the land we have obtained can not support so many tribe members by hunting, so I hope you can help me!" Bruce said.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke. No one knew whether Bruce was true or not, and no one knew what he was trying to do. Humans wished that all orcs would starve to death. If they helped orcs, they would become the public enemy of the entire human race.
The one who is not worried about the least is Long Wu. Whether he helps or not, the special status of Long Island is not possible. Others can do anything about it. The Ouyang family and the Ye family are too far away, so there is no reason to refuse, leaving only the Meijia Empire, the Ike family and Xiao Han.
The Mega Empire also borders the Orc Empire, but it is only a small part. The Ike family's belongings are in the Purple Gold Empire, and they are closest to the Orc Empire. Xiao Han's Fengcheng is said to be close or not, not far away. There is no threat for the time being, but it may not be the case in the future!
I'm afraid that no fool is willing to do it if he helps the enemy's food to attack himself.
However, everyone could hear the threat implicit in Bruce's words. If they didn't help, they would have to send troops to grab food. Winter combat was extremely bad for human soldiers, but for the orcs, they were used to being in the bitter and cold places, and the cold weather did not pose much threat to them!
It was obviously a long-planned thing that the Orc Empire arranged the wolf cavalry on the front line of confrontation with humans.
From another aspect, it can also be seen that the Orc Empire is now short of food!
The Purple Gold Empire can no longer squeeze out much food, so they turned their targets to other human countries and forces!
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Orcs invited so many countries and forces from all over the world to participate in the founding ceremony this time!
Humans are unhappy. If they can exchange some food for the Orc Empire to delay time and start a war, it is probably not a big problem.
If the orcs were smarter and signed a treaty that would not be violated for ten years, they would probably paralyze many people.
This Bruce must have received instructions from the orcs to do so, otherwise he would not have the courage to establish a country. The orcs would definitely unify government and military orders. Bruce asked humans for food in the name of werewolfs, which would not be kept in the fire.
"The main thing is that you can provide food for my werewolf tribe to spend the winter. I, Bruce, here I promise that by the beginning of next spring, I will never send a soldier to cross the Tianlan River!" Bruce swore in public.
I just made a negotiation request, but now I have become a threat of being naked.
"Why didn't General Bruce go to discuss this matter with the Purple Gold Empire? What's the use of inviting us here?" said the messenger of the Mega Empire.
"I think you all understand the reason why the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. What do you think of the beautiful Miss Rongxin?" Bruce threw his face at Rongxin Ike and smiled cunningly.
"General Bruce, you should also know that our Purple Gold Empire's army is not that easy to deal with. If you really plan to do this, then we can only fight to the end." Rong Xin Ike said firmly.
"Miss Rongxin, it's actually easy for us to take down the Purple Gold Empire. It's just that we haven't figured out what to do for such a big place, so we've kept it in your hands for the time being. When we think about it, we'll just take it." Bruce said with a fierce look.
"Bruce, do you think your mere 100,000 wolf cavalry can defeat our Purple Gold Empire?" Rong Xin Ike said angrily.
"Miss Rongxin, do you want to make a bet? Within three months, I, Bruce, destroyed the Purple Gold Empire with my 100,000 wolf cavalry. I will do it. If you are a female slave, I will do it. I will do it. How about you, I will do it for you? "Bruce stared at Rongxin Ike, and in addition to cruelty, there was a hint of greed.
No one has anything to do to this point. What does the Orc Empire want to do? What does the wolf cavalry commander Bruce want to do?
Rong Xin Ike is a little difficult to make, so how can I agree to such a bet? But if she refuses in front of many people, then what kind of face will the Ike family have in the future, especially if it is spread, how much impact and consequences will it have? She even suspected that this werewolf Bruce was coming for her tonight.
"General Bruce, I don't think it's necessary to bet. These are all disputes of intent. You want food for winter? It's easy to deal with. We can make a deal!" Xiao Han laughed and stood up and said.
"Trade?" Bruce frowned slightly.
"I heard that the Orc Empire produces various metal ores, which are basically of little use in your hands. However, when we are in our hands, we can smel them and make them into weapons and armor. If General Bruce has this sincerity, I can provide the food, but I must exchange them for the ore. Of course, the price is absolutely fair and you will not suffer any loss by General!" Xiao Han said.
As soon as Xiao Han made this proposal, the faces of several people in the military tent changed.
This proposal made Bruce very moved because he had also stocked up a lot of ore, but because humans have always squeezed the price of ore, he never took action. As soon as he sent troops, he threatened Xiao Han and others. This is the meaning above. It is best to be able to threaten to obtain food. Orcs need a lot of food this winter, and there is still half the gap. The war is not ready, and there is no food, and the soldiers are not full. How can they fight?
Moreover, there are too many orc races, so it is not easy to unite and launch a war. Being able to occupy the current territory is already the greatest limit for orcs. To launch a larger war, you must mobilize more orc troops from the northern wastelands!
So many orcs have to eat and be armed, which is a considerable expense, so it takes at least half a year to start a war!
Bruce said this, which was to scare Rong Xin and Ike. If he really wanted to take over the Purple Gold Empire, he might have done it within three months, but he would definitely not be able to defend it.
It is a sure thing to make a profit when doing business with orcs. The messenger of the Meijia Empire and Situ Jun regretted it. Why wasn’t he the first one to propose it? Now Xiao Han is the first to take the lead. With his personality, they probably don’t have the chance to drink soup with him!
Xiao Han looked at Bruce with a smile. He knew that even if Rong Xin and Ike agreed to the bet, Bruce would not send troops now. The orcs were about to establish a country. If he took a rash move at this time, even if he defeated the Purple Gold Empire, could the Beast Emperor spare him?
It is the most taboo to eat alone when doing business. Besides, it is such a risky business. Xiao Han is unwilling to take risks alone. Besides, this is an unexpected wealth, and it is nothing to share it with others, although others may not be grateful to him.
"General, I think this transaction can be done. As long as the price is fair, it is useless for us to keep those ores!" A fox man's mind tank beside Bruce whispered in his ear.
"I have thought about this proposal by Lord Xiao, but I have a condition?" Bruce thought for a moment. The task given by the Beast King was to see if he could blackmail a piece of food from humans. He agreed that this was a private act and it was not related to the imperial affairs. If this matter was completed, it would have to be divided into four or six points. However, after the analysis of his think tank, this matter was basically unlikely. Humans are not fools. If such a matter of capital and enemy is spread, it is certain that the country is destroyed and the family is destroyed.
"I hope Lord Xiao can promise to sell us a batch of weapons, preferably the dwarfs' fine products!" Bruce said confidently.
"General Bruce is really good at doing business. That's right, there's no big problem, but the number cannot be too many. If it's too many, it won't work!" Xiao Han agreed in full.
Selling weapons to orcs is even more serious than giving food directly. No one expected that Xiao Han would agree in one go, and it seemed that he didn't even think about it.
"Brother Xiao, you..." Ning Xiner anxiously pulled Xiao Han into the corner of her clothes and said, finding that Xiao Han was simply despised and ignored him.
"Xin'er, don't worry, Brother Xiao has his own sense of responsibility!" Xiao Han said in a voice. Ning Xin'er let go of the corner of Xiao Han's clothes and looked at him hesitantly.
"I will not make things difficult for Lord Xiao, 200,000 pieces of wolf cavalry armor and weapons?" Bruce Lion spoke.
"Twenty-hundred thousand pieces, too few, how about I give you 500,000 pieces?" Xiao Han not only did not bargain, but doubled it, and increased it by 100,000 pieces!
