Chapter 1423 I’m Great at Reasoning With People
The swamp of bones returned to peace.
The Angel of Strength and all the Angels of Slaughter had turned into real skeletons.
Two Chaos creatures, Meng Chao and Kanus, stood in the void. They casually lifted the Angel of Strength’s ammunition warehouse, as well as fuel tank, and looked at the messy battlefield below… No, the test field. There was not the slightest hint of surprise or excitement on their faces.
It was not easy for the father and daughter pair to catch up to them. They were panting heavily when they saw the shattered and miserable remains on the ground. Even the Angel of Strength, which was seven hundred stories tall, had been shattered into the most basic parts. Aside from being dumbfounded, there was no other expression on their faces.
“It seems that we have enough power to gather our will and create the future!”
The Wolf King grinned, revealing his sharp canine teeth.
“I hope we want to create the same future.”
Meng Chao glanced at him meaningfully. “Remember your promise. You will give the rat people more freedom and rights. You will treat all the soldiers under you equally, especially during the time I return to Dragon City. You will not kill all of the Great Horn Army’s remaining soldiers. “Our cooperation has just begun. I don’t think you want it to be completely broken so soon, do you?” “Of course. Even if you don’t believe in my integrity, at least please believe in my intelligence.” The Wolf King calmly said, “Now, now, in the past, when the Lion King and Tiger King were present, I had to lurk in the shadows, bow, scrape, and even fight with my rat people brothers to win their trust.
“Even under such terrible circumstances, I still racked my brains and came up with a whole plan to preserve the Great Horn Army’s integrity to the greatest extent. They just had to change their banner from the Great Horn Army to the Wolf Clan’s vassal.
“You could say that if the enemy commander who was fighting against the Great Horn Army had been anyone other than me, the blood of the rat people would have been spilled ten times or even a hundred times more.
“But now, no one or power can stop me on my way to the top. “Why would I need to kill all the remnant soldiers?
“After all, only you know that I’m also a rat person. At a critical moment, the rat people might be the only foundation that I trust and rely on the most. I would never do something stupid like destroy my own foundation.
“Speaking of which, the previous War Chiefs treated the rat citizens extremely harshly. They couldn’t wait to send them to the front line as cannon fodder and stuff them into a never-ending meat grinder. “This is neither because they are all homicidal maniacs, nor because these War Chiefs have some deep-rooted hatred for the rat people. It is due to the simplest factor, which is food.
“Picturesque Orchid Lake is about to run out of food.
“In the situation that the mandrake trees all vanish, our food reserves will definitely not last for the entire glorious era, which could go on for decades.
“In order to delay and prevent the arrival of famine to the greatest extent, we can only launch a war.
“We either take food from the enemy, or we dispatch our surplus mouths.
“It’s the only choice. Any commander-in-chief’s personal feelings and moral obsessions will not divert that purpose. “Therefore, it won’t matter how beautiful my words are even if I make a solemn vow here and I am willing to fulfill my promise from the bottom of my heart and treat the rat people leniently.
“As long as the food issue is not resolved, a large portion of the Turan people will starve to death. If they are not rat people, they will be warriors. The warriors naturally won’t sit still and wait for death. On the contrary, they will cause even more trouble.
“In that case, the rat people will never be able to gain true freedom and rights. At most, they’ll starve to death with dignity and pride.”
“That’s not a problem.”
Meng Chao said, “Dragon City’s soilless cultivation, synthetic food, and underground ecological transformation technology are very advanced. Our production of synthetic food can not only meet the daily needs of all citizens but also provide a lot of surplus for export.
“Although the taste of synthetic food is not good and it lacks the many elements needed for training, it is more than enough to fill the stomachs of ordinary people. It should be able to help Picturesque Orchid Lake alleviate its problem of famine.
“Moreover, I’m from Dragon City Agricultural University. I believe that many experts and professors in our agricultural university would be very interested in improving Picturesque Orchid Lake’s ecological environment, curbing the disorderly growth of the mandrake trees, and further optimizing the trees’ life and death cycle.
“Perhaps, we can solve the series of problems caused by the mandrake trees once and for all and completely end the vicious cycle of the prosperity and glory eras. “Of course, it’s too difficult for the people of Dragon City to unconditionally provide food aid and agricultural technology to the ferocious-looking Turan orcs.
“Just as we discussed, ‘resources for food’ is a condition that both sides can accept.” “Don’t worry, I remember that.”
The Wolf King said, “Picturesque Orchid Lake’s underground crystal veins are buried too deep. With the Turan orcs’ current technology, aside from the mandrake tree’s roots, there is no way to excavate these precious resources.
“Resources that cannot be excavated are meaningless no matter how abundant they are. Why not invite the people of Dragon City to build mines, railways, smelters, and manufacturing centers to jointly develop Picturesque Orchid’s underground crystal veins and the technology left behind by the ancient Turan people? These things are the ancestral spirit’s ‘real legacy.’
“However, the heritage of the ancestral spirits is too rich and precious. Just the Hope and the supermagnet alone are not something that can be exchanged with just a few bags of synthetic food.
“Furthermore, we have to make the rumbling steel beasts of Dragon City appear on Picturesque Orchid Lake’s land and dig up the land that the ancestral spirits have given us.
“I, on the other hand, can look at this issue from a strategic perspective.
“However, I’m afraid that most of the Turan orcs, who are well-developed and simple-minded, will find it hard to accept the visual and emotional impact. This is the sacred and inviolable land that the ancestral spirit has given us, which is extremely precious and warm!
“So, we have to pay more for it.
“I can recognize and protect Dragon City’s special interests in the mines and along the railway in Picturesque Orchid Lake. “But Dragon City also has to transfer part of the mining, smelting and manufacturing technology to Picturesque Orchid Lake. “At the same time, we have to hire a large proportion of Turan people to work in the mines, the railway, and the factories. We’ll feel better when the ‘the ancestral spirit’s heritage’ is dug out by the Turan people themselves.
“Of course, you can use Dragon City’s synthetic food and the industrial products to pay your wages.You can also consider this to cultivate the consumption habits of the Turan people and activate the undeveloped market, right?”
Meng Chao could not help but laugh.
“We’ve been discussing this for three days and three nights. It seems that even if we continue to discuss it for another three days and three nights, it will be difficult to take advantage of the other party.”
“Isn’t that great?”
The Wolf King said, “No one can take advantage of the other party, and no one will make the other party suffer. Only an agreement and alliance like that can be maintained for a long time.” “Then, let’s leave the details of the agreement for the next time. We can discuss it slowly after we all have new identities.”
Meng Chao said, “Now, we need to leave the Holy Mountain and convince our clansmen of the agreement’s importance and necessity.”
“My clansmen are not a problem.”
The Wolf King said, “As long as I show them the skulls of the Lion King, the Horn of Destruction, and the Tiger King, Violent Blade, they’ll never dare to question a single word I say.
“But you, can you really convince all the people of Dragon City, including those high and mighty figures, in the shortest time possible?”
“Don’t worry.”
Crackling sounds came from Meng Chao’s body. They were reminiscent of thunder and the rumbling of a flood dragon.
He looked at his fists, which were surrounded by electric arcs and surging flames before he seriously said, “I’m great at convincing others.”
