Magic Sword

Chapter 159 There is no choice at all

"Wait!" Miles couldn't help but be more panicked. The food was for the winter they were looking forward to, and without this food, they would have to die! They didn't rob any food all autumn!

Nia Lawrence! You said that we would no longer go to the business road to grab food, and you will give us food!"

"I said, Miles, the head of the orc clan, can't human beings believe that this sentence has been left behind by you?" I smiled and my face slowly became gloomy. I'm not a decent man, and I'm trustworthy with the killer?

"You!" Miles is so anxious that they will starve to death without this food! Miles stared at me fiercely and my hands had clenched my fists.

"Miles, I can tell you that even if your whole family comes to stop us, I am sure to take all the food and retreat all over. At the same time, it can also bring you a lot of deaths and injuries. Don't try to stop us." I raised my chest slightly and said coldly, "Can I tell you and promise me? Only strength can determine whether what I do is trustworthy or not.

"Miles, you have only three choices. First, starve to death. Second, go and rob the human beings in the town. I said that two fingers were raised.

"What about the third?"

I stared at him and slowly raised my third finger: "Give me a hundred people as my soldiers."

"Have you been fooling us from the beginning?" Miles looked at me with anger and a pale face.

"No, I'm going to fool you after my partner broke his arm and I realized that I needed an army." Miles heard the word "talent" and his expression changed slightly. I think he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

"This is not something I can decide!" Miles' forehead is covered with sweat. Obviously, these foods are necessary! But 100 people, what's the difference between handing over the whole clan?

"The omnipotent god of nature! Why are you so cruel to my family!" Miles looked up to the sky and shouted, indeed, the whole family nesting in this small place, not to mention that there is nothing to eat. Now they are forced by me. However, on the one hand, I need an army, and on the other hand, I want them all to leave here. Orc tribe, joking, how many years can they live in such a shabby place? Decades? Slow development? Waiting for the population to go up? At that time, it had already been besieged by the imperial army! Knowing the real Bier, I already understand their fate!

"Miles, let me ask you, how many nobles in your empire get fiefs every year?" I stood quietly in front of him, put down my fingers and whispered.

Miles didn't want to answer my question, but he hesitated for a moment and answered, "less than ten."

"How big is the back cover that a nobleman can get?" I continued to ask.

"From half a province to a castle."

"How much idle land does your empire have?"

"This..." This question asked him. After all, the land is a thing. If you think about it, you will know that each seal is less!

Withaning his answer, I continued: "Every year, there are at least five new nobles who have to pay at least half of the provincial back cover every year. Ten years, that is, five provinces, which is only the least. How big is Bier? It won't take many years for your forest to be distributed to a nobleman, a country that discriminates against aliens. Will the nobles allow there to be aliens in their land?

"..." Miles's forehead slowly sweated. They never thought of such a problem again. It's natural to be shocked. They just want to develop passively. How many years will it take for a child to grow up? Moreover, their development style is not only a generation of children that can grow! Their end must be that they were just out of the territory by the nobles, and then gradually became homeless, or killed and enslaved by the sent army directly on the forest of the nobles.

"I think you also understand the consequences. Now is the time for you to choose as the patriarch." I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, but I stood on tiptoe to touch it in front of me.

"But what's the advantage of our people being a soldier for you?"

"Money and food will not be short of you."

"Humans can't believe it!" Miles said with wide eyes.

"Very good. I've used it now, but it's true." I grinned and looked at him and smiled, "So now is the time for you to choose. The choice is to gamble. If you bet right, you will win. If you bet wrong, you will be worse than before."

"But..." Miles hesitated, not to mention the far, the near, the food, want to control me. In addition to accepting that they either choose to starve to death or rob the empire and lose, they will have to die, win, and they will also die, because they will face the danger of besieging by Bier's army!

There is no choice at all!

"I can't let the people die! Even if you starve to death, even if you die for food, you can't die in vain!"

"Is my behavior death in the eyes of others?" I smiled and clapped my hands. Miles and they were all at a loss. At this time, there was a dull earthquake from the earth, and the two figures stood up in the woods not far away!

"What?" Miles was stunned, and an orc beside him kept pointing to the sky and shouting stunned.

"Giant...Giant! It's a giant!"

Sea cucumbers and Dole, I arranged for them to hide there and wait for me to give orders.

"I still have three giants, five in total. Do you think my behavior is to die early?" I smiled, and Miles was really stunned!

"Even if there are giants, five giants... that's not enough to talk to the empire..." Miles was about to go on. I ignored him and looked absent-minded, and then squatted down. Miles looked at me gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He was about to roar at me. Suddenly, a hamster ran down my arm, fat Like a meatball.

"Squeak--

"What is this...!!" Before the word "me" came out, suddenly a loud voice rose up and quickly turned into a huge 15-meter-high hamster! It was so scary that a half-animal fell to the ground.

"The candy beast in the Alps has destroyed seven towns one night. With such a siege beast and these siege beasts, do you still think I'm going to die?" I laughed and continued to ask, "How about it, my friend Miles? Are you still my friend?"

"Yes..." Miles whispered, but this sentence has given his answer!

"Nias Lawrence! This matter is of great importance and can't be decided by me alone! The elder must agree!"

"Big Elder?" I was slightly stunned. I didn't know that there was such a guy. I thought the patriarch was enough to solve everything, but I didn't expect that there would be a big elder? Which green onion and garlic! Your uncle's Miles is not the biggest tongue I have wasted for so long!

"The most prestigious person in our tribe." Miles explained to me, "Major things need his approval."

"Miles." I said, "Aren't you the head of the family? How can this kind of thing be solved by other people!?

"He is prestige..."

"Bullshit prestige." I said angrily, "When do you need the consent of the patriarch to do things?" What does 'long' mean? You are in charge of all the affairs of the family!"

"But the elder has always been..." Miles was saying that I reached out and interrupted him.

"Your desire for power is too small to be a good leader." I was silent for a long time and said, "Let me tell you when your elders have the highest say."

"You?"

"Yes, I'll tell you." I said, and then suddenly enlarged my eyes and stared at him and said, "That is, since your elders began to have a desire for power, this desire has gradually caused each generation of elders to interfere in the status of patriarchs, and then replace the supreme right to speak. Do you still need to accept this kind of thing? You are the patriarch!"

After a pause, Miles didn't know what to say. He was struggling. Even if he agreed to give me the soldiers, he may also understand that it is impossible to take a few steps for the elder to pass this!

"Forget it, you are also embarrassed. Take me to see your elders, and I will convince him." I said to Miles, who was full of surprise.

"It's not that easy, Nia Lawrence."

"Forget it, it's much easier for me to go than to let you talk." I said angrily, "But I need you to help me and deter him when necessary."

"Deterrent?"

"You are the patriarch, and you have the power to order everything."

"But..." Miles is still hesitating. It's like you have to resist your grandparents. Maybe they are wrong, but you can't refute them.

"Don't be, who is more important than the life of the clan and that big elder?" I said, then walked to the rice pile and took out the two bags of sacks that I had just put away from the space ring. "Take it and promise you the food."

......

Miles led us into the tribe. The high wooden fence surrounded the whole tribe. It was the first time I saw the scene inside. Wooden houses, haystacks, firewood, a group of orcs full of fluff and long horns on their heads were busy, and we humans also showed a little unfriendly, sea Shen and Dole were left outside. After all, they were too big and troublesome to come in.

There is a statue in the center of the tribe. I don't know who carved it. It is very exquisite and definitely cannot be carved by these orcs.

Goddess of Nature, I don't think it's wrong, because most of the aliens believe in goddesses of nature, and there are also many orcs worship in front of the statue.

"That's it." Miles took me to a relatively large wooden house, which can be said to be the largest wooden house in the whole tribe, where the so-called elder was.

"To be honest, I hate talking to old men." I complained to Miles, and then said to my friends, "You all stay outside. I'll just go in."
