Chapter 2108 Unexpected

Negotiations lasted for three days in total.

It ended up being fruitless.

When we were leaving, Carter Horton looked at me with a half-smile: "How many times have you and I faced each other?"

"The second time." I smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry I can't remember."

"As an elder, let me give you a suggestion."

"You say."

"In the future, whether you are coming up with ideas or setting traps, don't make them false."

I didn't argue and bowed: "I've learned a lesson."

Carter Horton and others left the negotiation place as victors. As for the old man who followed them, they had already disappeared.

After returning to the country, he boarded the magic airship and flew directly back to the capital. The Beastman King immediately summoned the old Duke to go to the palace to discuss matters.

After the old duke arrived, we sat down in order. The orc king asked the old duke about the selection of adventurers. The old duke was very confident and had already selected millions of elite soldiers and generals, as well as a considerable number of adventurers as backup.

The Beastman King was quite satisfied with this, but there was still a heavy look of worry in his eyes.

Then, the Beastman King asked us what we should do in the future. Although the material supply for a thousand-man team is not enough, it is not a problem if it continues like this. From now on, Dashai City will always send a thousand-man army to be stationed there permanently. Isn’t it a desolate desert?

The old Duke smacked his lips: "Even if you don't want to, you can't help it. Who makes Carter Horton a suspicious and stubborn donkey?"

I had no idea about this, so I shook my head slightly and remained silent.

Prime Minister Lesta suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, but it's quite risky."

The orc king said anxiously: "Speak quickly!"

"Actually, we can retreat in order to advance." Prime Minister Lesta smiled slightly: "Carter Horton is suspicious by nature, and persuasion will definitely be fruitless. Holding on will only waste materials in vain. It is better to withdraw directly."

"Isn't this risk a bit big?" the old Duke asked worriedly.

"Back to the old Duke, it's not a little, but very big." Prime Minister Lesta sighed softly: "But now, Carter Horton's attitude is very clear. He will not refuse, will not cooperate, and will not listen to advice. Faced with this kind of No matter how hard we try, we can only withdraw from the Gobi and respond to his clear attitude."

"I agree with Prime Minister Lesta's suggestion." I raised my hand first.

"I also agree with Lesta's idea," the old Duke said: "It's a waste of energy on this. It's better to strengthen your own strength and be more confident when facing unknown threats."

"Since you all agree with Prime Minister Lesta's idea, let's implement it," said the orc Wang Yunde. Then, he looked at me: "Xiao Yi, try to mobilize as many powerful descendants of legendary heroes as possible to prepare for any eventuality."

"Yes" I nodded in agreement.

After the meeting, I quickly came to the New Heroic Guild and found Achilles.

He had just come back from slaying monsters and was in a good mood, with a pair of domineering eagle eyes. When he saw me, he first let out a hearty laugh, and then teased me: "Are you here to inspect my work status, boss?" ?”

"Your working status does not require me to inspect at all." I shook my head and smiled: "I believe that you have always been the best."

Achilles laughed heartily.

After laughing, I stopped smiling and talked about business with him.

I will tell him all my conjectures about the desert.

Achilles looked solemn. Born at the end of the melee period, he naturally knew the significance of ancient documents, especially the ancient documents that recorded disasters. The things recorded above were basically true.

I was curious about the importance Achilles placed on ancient texts, so I asked why.

Achilles also did not hide it. In the early days of the legendary heroic period, Carter Adams once committed suicide. Following the route on an ancient document fragment picked up from an unknown place, he found a disaster sealing place and By some mistake, the seal was opened. In an instant, they were surrounded by a group of monsters that emerged from the cracks in the seal. The monsters had sharp horns on their heads, their bodies were as red as fire, and they had sharp claws and fangs. He has a pair of black wings and is proficient in fire element magic, making him very difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, those monsters were not very strong. After seizing their weaknesses, they were dealt with like chopping melons and vegetables.

The next day, Carter Adams was fortunate enough to be summoned by the Orc High Priest and told her what he had witnessed. The Orc High Priest told him that the ancient document fragment recorded a small-scale disaster that was sealed. Damn, if it was a large-scale disaster, or a disaster of a higher level, I am afraid that Carter Adams and his party would be on the spot, and no one would be able to escape.

Although Carter Adams is the ancestor of Carter Horton, it seems that Carter Horton has not inherited the character of his ancestor at all. Carter Adams' character is not only simple, but also a bit silly and cute. Once he wins his trust , no matter what you say, he will believe it unswervingly.

The high priest of the orc tribe is extremely senior and has the ability to foresee, so he naturally has the trust of Carter Adams. Therefore, he remembers every word that the orc high priest said to him and explained these words to his friends one by one. with a partner.

Achilles told me that although he did not completely trust the content of ancient texts, he had absolute trust in Carter Adams, so he believed what he believed.

I was still worried about what I should do if Achilles didn't believe it, but now it seems that it has saved me a lot of trouble.

In order to prepare earlier, I suggested that Achilles go to the human gathering area in person and use his appeal to gather a group of adventurers with real talents and abilities.

Achilles agreed, and asked, "What happens after we're summoned?"

"Form an army," I said, "and you will personally command it."

"Who are you going to fight against?"

"Of course it's a disaster under the Gobi Desert," I said.

Achilles' execution ability was quite strong. Within three days, an elite army composed of thousands of human adventurers was formed.

In order to be able to join the battle at any time, I gave Achilles a holiday and asked him to lead an army of thousands of people to train with the elite army of Dasay City.

Achilles readily agreed.

At the same time, the Orc King withdrew his army, which caused the people of Airui City to rejoice. They rushed to tell each other about the victory of this small-scale war. At the same time, the Airui City Daily also began to boast that their monarch was wise and powerful, and he was powerful in all directions. Even the Orc King, who was known as a fighting maniac back then, had to give in.

However, Carter Horton didn't seem to be satisfied with this result at all. He first contacted the Orc King and made some insinuations about the reasons for withdrawing troops. Then he contacted me and tried to get something out of me, but he and I really had nothing to say. He said, he could only say a few perfunctory words and then hung up the call.

In the next few days, Carter Horton's performance simply exceeded my expectations.
