A wise glint flashed in Lacey's eyes.
"Born into the royal court, I have had a deep understanding of human nature since childhood! Between people and between countries, it is nothing more than self-interest. This is the most basic principle and an essential lesson for members of the royal family!"
"Our Maya people were the most developed country in the entire Jambudvipa. If it weren't for the protection of the dome, we would never be as peaceful as we are today!"
"This war was started by Kali. We Maya are in the wrong. How could those resource-poor countries not take advantage of the situation and make excessive demands?" Lacey said calmly.
Lin Yu nodded and sighed, "You really guessed right! It seems that the wisdom of you Mayans is truly innate!"
"Tell me, what exactly did they ask for?" Lacey asked playfully, kicking up a splash of water.
Lin Yu immediately explained the compensation terms proposed by the various rulers.
After hearing this, Lacey was no longer calm.
"That's impossible! They're far too greedy. My Mayan Kingdom will never agree to such outrageous conditions, and I, Lacey, will never sign a treaty that would humiliate and destroy our nation!"
As expected!
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Lacey's fierce reaction was exactly what he expected.
She is a strong woman who will not tolerate unwarranted humiliation.
If she were a weak person, she would probably have succumbed to Kali's tyranny long ago and would never have ascended to the throne today.
"Lin Yu, I thank you for your help to me and to our Mayan Kingdom, but I really cannot agree to these unreasonable conditions!"
Not wanting to put Lin Yu in a difficult position, Lacey thought for a moment and then said, "I can accept compensation; I can offer a million taels of gold. However, I cannot agree to open up the dome, provide slaves, or cede territory!"
"I understand!" Lin Yu nodded and said, "However, I am just a messenger. My idea is that you kings should sit down and talk in person. It's better than me, a middleman, relaying messages back and forth!"
Lacey pursed her lips and said, "If they are too aggressive, it's better not to meet them. After all, no one can break through the dome of the Mayan kingdom, and I'm not that afraid of them! At worst, I'll continue to close the country off. With our Mayan technology and national strength, we can provide a good life for our people!"
Boom!
Just then, the entire palace suddenly shook violently.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
The guard commander rushed in.
"What is it?" Lacey asked, her beautiful eyes trembling.
The guard commander hurriedly replied, "Yes, it was the rebels from the Kali lineage. They took advantage of our inattention and secretly opened the dome to escape. The allied army also took this opportunity to invade!"
"What??"
Lacey swayed suddenly.
Lin Yu quickly stepped forward to help her up.
Lacey gripped Lin Yu's arm tightly. "Lin Yu, I've destroyed all the weapons in the arsenal. The Maya are no match for the allied army now. You have to help me, help our Maya people! Don't let them slaughter my people!"
"Don't get agitated. Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let them slaughter the civilians!"
After Lin Yu finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the palace.
The allied army had been holding back for days, and within just a few hours, they had captured two Mayan cities in succession.
"kill!"
"Charge straight to the Mayan capital!"
"You may freely roam the cities you have conquered!"
Both the dwarves and the giants are relatively primitive tribes, and their behavior is also quite wild.
The two tribes joined forces to conquer a city, and their respective tribal chiefs then bestowed everything within the city upon their subordinates.
They can indulge themselves here, playing with women, eating delicious food, and enjoying the thrill of conquest.
A giant ran straight to a luxurious courtyard in the city and slapped the roof off with his huge hand.
Inside the house, a family of three were huddled together, shivering in a corner.
"hey-hey!"
He reached out and lifted the little boy from the woman's arms as if he were carrying a little mouse.
Then, with greedy eyes, it opened its mouth wide, ready to swallow the little boy whole.
call!
Just then, a dragon's shadow appeared, hovering in the sky.
It landed on the opposite rooftop, and the Dragon Mother stood on its back, coldly saying, "I have already given the order that no one shall kill after we have entered the city. How dare you disobey my orders!"
The giant glanced at Isabella disdainfully, preparing to continue enjoying the little boy.
The dragon roared angrily and lashed out with its tail, sending the giant flying backward. The dragon mother quickly intervened and saved the little boy.
"Aww—"
The giant, severely wounded, lay prostrate on the ground, letting out an angry roar.
A group of giants immediately surrounded them menacingly.
The giant chieftain, Odbiao, stepped forward and said coldly, "Isabella, when did it become your place to lecture my warriors!"
Isabella, not to be outdone, stood tall and proudly declared, "I am the commander-in-chief of the allied army. According to our previous agreement, everyone must obey my orders. Now that your soldier has disobeyed my command, am I wrong to punish him?"
Odebiao gritted his teeth and said, "Don't forget, we are the victims. When the Maya attacked our border, they burned, killed, and looted. Didn't our people's lives matter?"
Isabella pursed her lips and still advised, "Odbiao, killing won't solve anything, it will only deepen hatred! The purpose of war is not to plunder, but to achieve lasting peace!"
"For what peace? Where there are races, there will be conflict; where there is conflict, there will be killing; where there is killing, there will be hatred. We already have a grudge against the Maya Kingdom. Do you, Dragon Mother, want to make a grudge against us too?" Odbiao roared angrily.
Their primitive ethnic groups are rather rough and straightforward; once they hold a grudge, it can lead to a fight to the death.
"Say what you will, but I started this war. If you don't follow my orders, you are my enemy, the Dragon Mother!" Isabella said harshly when she couldn't persuade the other party.
However, how could Odbiao be persuaded by her few words? He immediately sneered, "Enemies are enemies, do you think we giants want foolish friends like you!"
"Are you looking for death?"
Isabella's face was incredibly grim. The people of the Land of Effort might be considered rather dull normally, but being called stupid was something they couldn't tolerate.
"Dragon Flame!"
She immediately roared.
Wow!
A burst of blazing dragon flame erupted, sweeping across the streets and alleys.
The giants immediately screamed and fled in panic.
Odbiao, however, did not flee. He immediately ordered his men to unfold an animal hide to block the scorching dragon flames.
"Ice water rhinoceros hide!" Isabella's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
