Ceding territory and paying reparations?
Lin Yu frowned.
Good heavens, isn't this a humiliating betrayal of national sovereignty? Would the Maya agree to this?
"Not only do we demand that they cede territory and pay reparations, but we giants also demand that they provide 30,000 slaves!"
At this moment, Odbiao, the chieftain of the giants, also spoke up.
Odbiao was already very tall, standing over ten meters tall. Even though the tent had been deliberately enlarged, he still looked like a small mountain when he sat there.
The biggest problem for the giants is reproduction. Although they are strong individually, their population is small, which leads to some labor shortages.
Thirty thousand slaves could alleviate some of the labor pressure on domestic production and daily life.
"We goblins demand that the Maya Kingdom pay us 200,000 taels of gold in compensation!"
A green-skinned, ugly man also spoke up; he was Saipan, the leader of the goblins.
Goblins have a bad reputation in various countries; they are greedy and lecherous. Women have a very low status in the country, and crime is a constant occurrence.
Demanding 200,000 taels of gold in compensation is very much in line with the goblin's nature.
Lin Yu was speechless.
Is this a claim for compensation?
This is clearly an attempt to take advantage!
But he couldn't say anything, since the Maya Kingdom was indeed in the wrong this time.
"I will convey your conditions to the new Mayan ruler, Lacey, but I cannot guarantee that she will agree. However, I think you can sit down and discuss this matter properly!"
Lin Yu spoke calmly.
In business, there's give and take, negotiation and bargaining; it's not something that can be settled in one fell swoop. However, he wasn't sure how much Lacey would agree to.
After speaking with the various monarchs, Lin Yu decided to return to the Mayan Kingdom.
Isabella followed him out and called him to a stop.
"Lin Yu!"
"Yes, Isabella, is there anything else..."
Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, a pair of warm, red lips were already pressed against his lips.
After a long while, they slowly parted ways.
Isabella looked at him with her gentle, beautiful eyes: "Do you know how worried I've been about you these past few days!"
"I'm perfectly fine!" Lin Yu smiled.
"I'm so afraid something might happen to you, Lin Yu. I think I've really fallen in love with you!" Isabella said sincerely.
"What do you mean by 'seems like'? Does that mean you were just pretending before?" Lin Yu couldn't help but tease.
Isabella pursed her lips. "Before, part of it was for the sake of the country's interests. I wanted to keep you here to gain a powerful fighting force for our nation! But recently I've suddenly realized that I can't live without you! Even if you don't stay in the Nation, I want to go with you!"
Lin Yu smiled bitterly, "If you come with me, what about your throne? What about your subjects? And what about your dragon?"
"I can give the throne to someone else, but I can take the dragon prince with me. I'll ride the dragon, and you can ride me. We'll go together!" She blinked her cute eyes and looked at Lin Yu with a playful expression.
As long as Lin Yu agrees, she will follow him without hesitation.
Lin Yu sighed, "Isabella, be rational. We each have important missions to fulfill and have no right to live for ourselves. Besides, I already have a lover and children, and I will never betray them. So, I advise you to give up this idea!"
"You're talking nonsense. What about Lacey?"
Isabella suddenly questioned, "My undercover agent has already infiltrated the Mayan Kingdom. I already know about your affair with Princess Lacey. They all say that you and Princess Lacey have already..."
"Already what?" Lin Yu frowned. "You suspect I have something going on with her?"
Isabella pursed her lips. "I just don't want to lose you..."
Lin Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "Isabella, I can tell you clearly that I have no close relationship with Lacey. I just think she is an excellent monarch, so I helped her ascend the throne, that's all!"
After saying that, Lin Yu didn't look back and strode outside, disappearing from the camp in a few steps.
Isabella pursed her red lips tightly and said resentfully, "You're so charming wherever you go, how can anyone feel at ease with you!"
It's impossible for her to give up Lin Yu.
As the Mother of Dragons, a powerful queen, she will stop at nothing and do everything in her power to get what she wants!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yu returned to the Mayan Kingdom.
At this time, Lacey was still in her palace.
I've been having a headache lately because of the royal family, so it's nice to relax in a hot spring.
She wasn't actually very anxious about the combined army's attack.
After all, she knew the technology of the dome very well; even a legendary master of the profound realm wouldn't be able to break through it.
This technology dates back to ancient times.
Actually, it wasn't invented by the Maya. As Lin Yu said, the Mayan civilization at that time was supported by external forces, and its advanced technology came from there.
That was a higher-dimensional civilization!
However, everything about this higher-dimensional civilization exists only in her and Lin Yu's speculations, because due to the gap in history, the Maya knew nothing about it.
Da da da!
A footstep sound came from behind.
Lacey's ears twitched, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Before she could turn around, a pair of large hands had already landed on her smooth shoulders.
"Mmm, good, that feels great!"
"Does it feel good?"
"You Chinese men are really skilled!"
Do you yearn for it?
"Of course, if I have the chance, I would really like you to take me to China for a visit, after all, that is where our ancestors lived!"
"Welcome to China!"
The two chatted and joked for a while.
Lacey stood up from the water, grabbed a bathrobe from the side, wrapped it around her body, and turned to face Lin Yu.
Her eyes still held a slight hint of shyness.
Beneath the oversized bathrobe were a pair of long, slender legs reminiscent of those in manga, fulfilling every man's fantasy.
Am I beautiful?
"certainly!"
"How does it compare to Isabella?"
Why compare yourself to her?
"Because I suspect that your relationship with her is unusual, otherwise you wouldn't have infiltrated our Maya for her sake!"
Lin Yu looked helpless. "Are you women really that sensitive about matters between men and women?"
"No! Actually, I'm quite slow to react when it comes to matters of the heart!"
Lacey stuck out her tongue, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said, "I only become very sensitive when I'm with someone I like!"
Lin Yu sighed, "With the allied forces still lurking outside, let's talk about something more serious first, shall we?"
"OK!"
Lacey walked to the side, sat by the pool, and dipped her slender, chopstick-like legs into the water, letting them sway gently.
"If I'm not mistaken, they did propose some compensation terms, right?"
Lin Yu's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "How did you know?"
