Chapter 242 Surrender
"Anyway, let's talk first when you go back."
While thinking, he suddenly felt a tremor in the world.
This shock has nothing to do with the secret place at the moment. It should be another round of the breaking array cannon, which made the Shenlulin's forest protection formation turn upside down.
Looking at Shen Lulin's chaotic look, the rounds of shelling were equivalent to a wake-up call in the hearts of these monsters. In the future, if you want humans to ask for any conditions, they have to agree.
After Lu Qing flew back to the human monk's position, he also sent a message to Li Yanling and Lu Chaoxi, informing them of his decision.
"That secret place is more valuable than killing some monsters, and can save the loss of battle. If the female deer demon promised her to tell the old deer in front of the formation that if the Shenlulin surrendered unconditionally, we can save their lives."
Hearing the voice transmission, Lu Chaoxi was no longer surprised, but Li Yanling... Although she was not shocked, she was still a little uncomfortable.
Isn’t my father-in-law in Yuyan? He can control the situation of the battle here at any time from such a long distance? Also, in the secret land of the Shenlu Forest, even the others don’t know what is inside. You just say that the benefits are greater than slaughtering thousands of monsters? That is a spirit stone that goes up by 200,000!
Seeing Li Yanling's strange expression, Lu Chaoxi guessed that his wife should have received a message from her father. He said, "Don't worry too much, what his father said is always right, he hasn't missed it yet."
"Yes." Li Yanling suppressed some doubts in her heart.
The two of them can be regarded as the commander and deputy commander of this war. Since the two decided unanimously, it is difficult for the people below to have any room for opposition.
After all, although the Lu family did not account for the majority in the entire Northern Army, the high-level monks were basically from their family. The Lu family's decision was just a matter of words.
The peace talks only began after the next round of shelling was over.
Lu Chaoxi and Lu Chaohe came to the divine deer forest with the bound deer vines. The surging emerald fog was right in front of them.
Lao Lu could see this scene. At first, he thought that the human monks came over to force themselves to open the forest protection formation with their daughter's life.
If so, he would never agree.
Although, judging from the current situation, Shen Lulin's hope is already very slim to withstand the human offensive next, he has to resist and wait for slaughter.
But what his daughter said made him not know how to react for a while.
"...Father, I have told these humans about the secret land. They promised that as long as we open the forest protection array and surrender unconditionally, they will be willing to let all the tribes in the divine deer forest go away. At that time, I will help them open the secret land..."
"Secret Land? Can you open the Secret Land?" Lao Lu was obviously not aware of this.
"Three years ago, I discovered that my connection with the secret place became closer and closer. In a dream, I dreamed of my ancestors and also got the method to open it..."
After a moment of silence in the forest protection formation, the old deer's voice came out again: "These humans are deceiving us. Even if we surrender and open the secret place, they may not let us go."
Lu Man was stunned and looked at the two Lu family monks next to her.
Lu Chaoxi said, "There is no reason to deceive this matter. I can make a guarantee here in the name of the Lu family."
"I will believe your nonsense!"
Lu Chaohe couldn't help but speak: "I want me to tell you that you don't have many choices now. Otherwise, when we break through the Shenlu Forest, life will be devastated; or you surrender, open the secret place according to the agreement, and bet on whether we will keep our promises. One is bound to die, and the other is that there may be hope for life. If you are not afraid of death, you can think of thousands of your fellow tribes in the Shenlu Forest."
The divine deer forest was silent.
After a while, the old deer's voice came out again: "I know that you humans also have the art of swearing with your soul. If you two swear by this, I can consider agreeing."
Lu Chaoxi flatly refused: "What we want to see is the unconditional surrender of Shenlulin. If there is anything, when you open the Shenlulin formation, all the demon clans give up resistance and accept the arrangements, and then tell us your demands. We do not accept any conditions in advance. But here I, in my reputation as Lu, guarantee that as long as you accept all arrangements, we will not go back on our word and massacre the demon clan."
Now, the human monks have the full initiative. It is very unreliable to tie themselves up with a soul oath.
The Lu family didn't intend to go back on their word.
When fighting, you should do everything and be cruel and ruthless. That is the right thing to do. Your own life is of course more important than the enemy's life.
The Lu family still won't do anything without trust, luring surrender and then massacre.
But how can this kind of thing be said? Two Qiming monks of the Lu family made a soul vow. When they took over Shenlu Lin later, what if any of the cultivators below had a sect thrust out their brains, jumped out to attack, or even killed the monsters of Shenlu Lin? Even among these 300 cultivators, there would be a lineage of the head of the sect, and the Hai family's lineage could not be sure. If they knew about the Soul Vow, what if they deliberately caused trouble, then that would be endless?
Even if there is no problem with one's own side, the monsters in the Shenlu Forest actively attack the human side, so how can they be counted if they are counterattacked?
If you want to use the Soul Oath, these things must be specified one by one, and to the point of being very careful. Not to mention it, the most important thing is that the more regulations there are, the greater the possibility of loopholes in the middle, the greater the possibility of loopholes being exploited.
The Soul Oath is a thing that has great binding force and strong backlash, but it is precisely because of this that it cannot be used randomly.
After hearing Lu Chaoxi's decisive rejection, Lao Lu was silent again.
Chaoxi Chao and the two brothers outside were not in a hurry, so they had to leave some time for discussion.
However, before the surrender was negotiated, it is certainly impossible for humans to stop attacking.
Soon, another round of artillery fire broke out.
In this round of artillery attack, only two artillery cannons opened fire, and the intensity was not as high as before, but undoubtedly this was a urging and warning.
The effect of urging is still very good. The turmoil of the jade fog color has become even stronger, as if there is a possibility of breaking at any time, which makes the monsters in the Shenlu Forest finally make up their minds.
"We... surrender unconditionally, humans, hope you can keep your promise and not harm our fellow tribes."
Lao Lu made the final decision.
...
The subsequent events are more natural.
The forest protection array of Shenlulin was lifted.
The human monks did not enter with great fanfare. High-level monks such as Li Yanling and Lu Chaoxi entered first and occupied the core of the forest protection formation.
Then, a team of monks with a scale of 100 people entered. They supervised the monsters in the Shenlu Forest and gathered in an open space by the lake in the middle of the forest. More than a dozen formation masters temporarily arranged a magic circle to ensure that no accidents occurred.
The whole process was quite smooth. Many of the monsters along the way were angry, but under the intimidation of high-level monks and their own side had surrendered, their lives were still in the hands of these human monks, so they did not dare to do too many moves.
Not cooperative enough, but honest.
Then that's all.
Anyway, it was not the human monks who arranged for them to gather and control them. The hundreds of monks who entered the market were just watching from the side and maintaining order, including the surrendered monsters in the God Deer Forest.
In addition, there was a team of people who looked about two hundred and were also moving in the Shenlu Forest.
They will search the entire Shenlulin and collect and take away everything they see and valuable things.
This is also a large amount of income.
The spiritual medicine resources in the Shenlu Forest are still very abundant. The vitality of this place is very abundant, and the spiritual energy of the wood-slide is suitable for the growth of spiritual medicines. Not to mention that there are many deer monsters who specialize in taking care of spiritual medicines in the woodland.
Even many third-level finished products were found.
There are also some magic weapons of these monsters.
In fact, there are very few monsters who use magic weapons, and they trust their own ** more - of course, it is also related to their poor skills in forging magic weapons - but there are still some more special things.
In addition, there are some materials that are less common. For example, the horns that the deer demons fall off, and if you take them away, you won’t be able to hurt those monsters.
All the things that are fragmented are not a big problem, the benefits of human monks taking away 70,000 to 80,000 spirit stones in this wave are not big.
The price is that the divine deer forest was washed away, and the wealth accumulated by the monsters over the past decades and hundreds of years fell into the hands of human cultivators. The Spiritual Medicine Garden was devastatingly picked, and all the accumulated materials were taken away... Even if they were not dead, they would be seriously damaged in terms of economic vitality. In the future, whether they were cultivating more and stronger monster masters or the practice of ordinary monsters themselves, they would be greatly affected.
But... what does this have to do with human monks?
According to the agreement between humans and the surrendered Divine Deer Forest monster, the plundering operation will last for five days. During this period, with Li Yanling and all the monks Qiming in charge, the problem will not be too big.
Lu Qing didn't care much about these things.
At his instructions, Ming Chao accompanied Wen En and Lu Man to the secret place.
The old deer also proposed to come over, but was rejected. His top third-level strength must be kept honest and Li Yanling must be guarded by himself, otherwise problems will be prone to problems.
After Lu Man arrived at this secret place, Lu Qing could really realize that the female deer demon had a very magical and secret connection with the gate that blocked the secret place.
Ming Chao pulled Wen En to a slightly behind, and then said to the female deer demon standing in front of the door: "Let's start."
Instead of being cold.
Lu Man took a deep breath.
She knew that she should die here.
However, she was still relieved.
At least for now, it seems that humans have not started a massacre after keeping their promises and entering the Divine Deer Forest.
Next, it was time for her to travel.
