Chapter 776 Meeting
"Well done, Silk! If our Great Zhou can reach an agreement with the Wood Elves this time, you will definitely be the first to achieve the credit!"
In the front-line camp located in the canyon, after listening to Silk's report, Zhou Xu's face was full of joy.
In diplomacy, apart from encountering some guys with mental problems, the most annoying thing is encountering those who are impossible to communicate with and who have nothing to talk about.
As long as we can talk, everything can be discussed.
From Silk's report, Zhou Xu easily understood that the wood elves living in this forest were very similar to the elves he had in mind.
This is a good thing.
The elves tend to be kind in character, they hate war and love nature, but at the same time they are very proud in their bones, to put it bluntly, they care about their reputation.
That's a good point.
These factors combined together mean that they will not do anything too bad, because that would make them feel very embarrassed.
Needless to say, this is a good choice as an ally.
"Next, tell me the specific process so I can understand the situation."
The report just now mainly focused on the conclusion, and did not provide a detailed explanation of how Silke convinced the other party.
He was going to have a conversation with the Wood Elf Chief on the opposite side next to understand the specific situation at that time. For Zhou Xu, it was still necessary.
Silk did not hide anything and directly told the other party the whole process of how he persuaded the other party, down to every detail.
After listening to it, before Zhou Xu could speak, Jie Liancheng, who was joining in the fun, had already happily given a thumbs up.
"That's great, you've made progress! Let's compare notes later!"
Hearing this, Silk's face suddenly darkened, and some bad memories emerged in his mind.
Back in Xianyang City, this guy in front of him, after learning that he was the captain of His Majesty's personal guard, proposed to compete with him, wanting to test his own weight and see if he had the ability to protect His Majesty's safety.
Silk was a proud person by nature, and since the other party had said this, it was impossible for him to refuse.
There is no need to say much about what happened next, this guy is simply insanely strong!
Without using any special means of the elves and relying solely on weapons, Silk was simply vulnerable in the face of Jie Liancheng.
As a human being, Silk felt that Zhou Chongshan was strong enough, but Jie Liancheng was even stronger than him, which even made Silk doubt whether the other party was a human being.
Zhou Xu actually knew the reason.
Looking at the panel data alone, if all of their attributes are converted into specific numbers, the gap between them does not seem to be that big.
The reason why Jie Liancheng was able to display such overwhelming strength lies in his skills and combat experience.
From a traditional martial arts athlete to a mixed martial arts champion, Xie Liancheng's combat ability is unquestionable.
But he is different from Silk, Zhou Chongshan and others.
Silk, Zhou Chongshan and others can only explore their own skills and accumulate combat experience in actual combat.
But in fact, many of their current skills are far from mature.
On the other hand, for Jie Liancheng, before he traveled through time, a large number of skills were ready-made. They were the accumulated experience of countless predecessors. Coupled with an extremely mature and scientific learning system, it is unknown how many detours this could have helped him avoid.
In this scientific training method, he can quickly master various mature combat skills. At the same time, he knows better than Silk how to attack and make the enemy lose combat capability or even kill the enemy in the shortest time!
This advantage has undoubtedly become more obvious after he came to this world.
The competition with Jie Liancheng was somewhat of a nightmare for Silk, and it almost destroyed his self-confidence.
But it is undeniable that in those repeated failures, he also learned many mature combat skills from Jie Liancheng, and recently he directly applied them to Sion.
This also led to another challenge from Jie Liancheng. Silk's mood was extremely complicated, even difficult to describe.
Zhou Xu ignored them. He had already started to organize his thoughts for the conversation with the Wood Elf Chief. After all, he didn't have much time left to prepare.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the meeting between the two sides.
In order to show his sincerity, Zhou Xu signaled all the Green Forest City troops, including Jie Liancheng, to stay in the front-line camp on standby, and he only took his personal guards headed by Silk to have the talks.
But what Zhou Xu didn't know was that as early as the night before, Locke had arrived at the outskirts of the forest with his entourage of wood elves, and had been quietly observing the exit of the canyon in the distance.
It's not that he had any ill intentions, but because they, the wood elves, didn't have any timekeeping tools, which meant Silk couldn't give them an exact meeting time, and could only simply say it was the morning.
Although the elves have a lazy lifestyle, from a face-saving perspective, they would feel embarrassed if they were late for an interview.
So Locke came up with an idea, that is, they might as well arrive at the outskirts of the forest the night before, and when they saw the other party appear, they would pretend that they had just arrived and that would be it.
At this moment, Locke didn't know whether the time had come or not.
At this moment, a burst of dense horse hoof sounds came from afar, and a group of elven knights led by Zhou Xu quickly crossed the canyon and entered their sight.
"Is this the Elf Knight?"
Looking at those majestic elven knights, including Sion, many of the accompanying wood elves were dazed for a moment.
For the wood elves, the term "elf knight" basically only exists in some stories circulated within the tribe.
Now that they had seen with their own eyes the elven knight that had only appeared in stories, many wood elves were quite excited.
But after the excitement, a question quickly emerged in their minds.
"Hey, Patriarch, are we just going to walk out like this?"
“…”
This question caused the atmosphere in the forest to fall into a brief silence.
Even though the other party didn't know they were there, after witnessing the majestic appearance of the elven knights, they felt a little embarrassed to walk out barefoot. Or rather, they felt like they had lost in momentum.
Locke was not completely unaware of this situation.
But what can he do now?
As Locke's eyes swept over the tribesmen who all had complicated expressions, his facial muscles twitched slightly, and he couldn't help tapping the ground with his big toe.
"What else can we do? Let's go."
After saying this, he grasped the staff, gritted his teeth and led the way out of the dense forest, heading towards the place where he would have his first formal meeting with Da Zhou.
