Chapter 730: Sabre Rattling
"Hello, human!"
"Hello, Elf!"
No matter how much resentment the two generals from the two races were, they still gave each other a military salute of their own race.
Both Yevgeny and Pader looked down on each other, and even had a deep hostility in their eyes, and if something suddenly happened between the two armies, there was no doubt that they would immediately draw their swords against each other.
But forced by the orders of their superiors, they had to shake hands and make peace.
They are very sure that the other party is a son of a bitch in their eyes, but they must stand here, in the middle of this flat land that should be a battlefield where the two armies are facing each other, and negotiate the conditions for the next border town construction.
Even they know that they are not good negotiators, but they need to communicate properly when it comes to 'arming'.
They were reluctant, but they had to do it!
"Excuse me, you are the 'deputy' commander of Yevgeny?" Pader scoffed, a look of contempt in his face.
Yevgeny raised his hand and stopped the angry subordinates behind him, "Yes, Yevgeny, deputy commander of the Guards Regiment, what advice does General Pader have?"
Pouting, Pader took a breath, "The county guard ordered me to come and discuss with you the defense system of the 'Peace Town' that is about to begin, I wonder if you can move to our fortress and discuss this matter?"
"No need!"
As soon as Pader's words fell, Evgeny snorted coldly, "Just here!"
Then, before Pader could speak, Evgeny snapped his fingers, and a tree table and two chairs grew out of front and behind them.
Seeing this scene, the pupils of Pader's eyes shrank, and Yevgeny sneered: "General Pader, please take a seat?"
Pad glared at the elf in front of him, and sat down with a big slash, the full-body plate armor he was wearing did not restrict his movements, and the joints overlapped each other, changing with his movements.
Yevgeny glanced at it and sat down, the seemingly weak openwork armor on his body as intricately designed as the armor on Pad's body.
Suddenly, Pad chuckled and asked, "How can you negotiate without good food and wine?"
Yevgeny immediately turned his head and shouted: "Joel, bring the food and wine!"
Pader's breath faltered, and Yevgeny turned to him and smiled slightly, the contempt in his eyes was self-evident, as if to say, is this what you are capable of?
With his mouth pursed and the corners of his mouth sinking involuntarily, Pad took a deep breath and folded his arms over his chest, waiting for the so-called 'elven food and wine'.
Although I didn't expect them to be prepared, they definitely won't be able to pass the next level!
'Food' and 'wine' are both subjective judgments, if he doesn't say it......
The elf, whom Evgeny called 'Joel', took out two small wooden barrels from the wooden box he was carrying and placed them on the table, and then took out a small box, which when he opened it, he could see that the box was divided into four layers, each containing a dish.
Pard raised his eyebrows when he saw the four dishes, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he shouted: "Deputy Commander Evgeny, is this your hospitality? What is it? Food? Are you sure these things are food?!"
Undeterred by his voice, Joel placed the four dishes on the table one by one, and then slowly retreated with the box.
Pad saw the hatred in the elf's eyes, and the hairs stood on end, but his breathing didn't become rapid, and his face didn't turn pale.
His face contorted, a sinister smile, and he pointed at the dishes on the table with his thick fingers, "Bugs, flowers, branches, oh my God, there is still dirt!
Fake words were spoken, but Pad didn't bother to make a look of pity.
But Yevgeny only smiled slightly, "General Pader, this is what you don't know. ”
The smile on his face quickly faded, and Pader's face became gloomy, and he could even guess that the muscles of the soldiers brought out behind him were already tense, waiting for one of his orders.
But he couldn't give an order, if he had invited the elves back to the fortress, he could have let them die on the grounds that they had accidentally fallen off the wall, but not now, in full view, and if he did, it would mean that they had betrayed the covenant that had just been signed.
Even though he was so angry that he was about to crush his teeth, Pader still managed to pull out a smile and squeeze out a sentence from between his teeth: "So, Yevgeny, my friend, please tell me, what are these?"
"These dishes look like this, but they're actually the latest trend among our elves. The corners of Yevgeny's mouth turned up slightly, and he said in an elegant tone words that even he himself did not believe, "Make dishes into everything in nature, you know, we elves love nature, our blood also comes from nature, and among the druids, elves occupy a large proportion." These dishes look like this and taste similar, but this is the best food in our group!"
As he spoke, he picked up a branch from the plate where the branch was placed, and pretended to put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it, revealing a look of intoxication, "Hmm...... The smell of nature is so beautiful......"
Then, he shoved the leaves from the branches into his mouth, chewing on the tender green leaves in his mouth as the humans watched in amazement, while maintaining a faint smile.
"What, General Pader, do you still doubt it now?"
After swallowing the leaves with difficulty, Yevgeny smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?"
“...... No, I was just thinking, this stuff isn't enough for me to eat!"
Pad took a deep breath, grabbed a branch, and shoved it into his mouth.
But the next moment, a sharp pain came from his tongue, which suddenly made him sweat profusely, "Hmm-"
The soldiers standing behind him saw his body tremble violently, and their eyes turned red suddenly, drew their weapons, and shouted in unison: "Protect the general!"
"Stop!"
Pad stopped drinking his subordinates, looked up and glared at the smiling elf sitting opposite him, even if his mouth was crooked with anger, but he still had to praise it: "The food of the elf clan, I have seen it, it tastes really good!"
Even in the tense atmosphere, Yevgeny maintained a smile on his face, "Oh, General Pader, my friend, I remember that I clearly warned you, 'It looks like this, it tastes like this', but you still didn't understand my words, and you were hurt by it, I'm really sad...... Maybe no one but us will be able to enjoy these delicacies. Alright, let's get down, and now it's time for a good drink, right? ”
"Of course ......"
With an iron smell filling his mouth, Pader replied slurred, then swallowed the blood from his mouth down his throat.
"Let's continue to negotiate!" said the human general through gritted teeth.
The elven legion leader still looked light-hearted, smiled and nodded, "Of course, we came here this time to discuss the defense of the new town, aren't we?"
The index finger tapped on the table, two wooden cups grew out of the table, and Evgeny lifted a wooden barrel with one hand and poured the wine into both cups, not a drop of which spilled.
After pouring the drink to his heart's content, Yevgeny raised his glass, chuckled and asked, "Cheers?"
Pad looked at the turquoise, fragrant wine in the glass, thought of the wound in his mouth, gritted his teeth, and raised the glass.
"Cheers!"
The conversation continued, but the elves came first.
