On the other hand, the undead are usually the same as they are. The only ones who can keep up appearances are probably the personal guards, black warriors, skeleton knights and other accompanying undead.
The leader of the ratman delegation is called Delcha, who is of genuine ratman royal blood and a ratman noble who is very particular about etiquette and appearance.
In order to show respect for the undead, Delcha only brought four nobles with him, one of whom was Sayil, and did not allow any ratmen warriors to enter the building.
The undead also entered the scene. There were four of them, and the one walking in the front was Zhang Peng, the mayor of Rat Death Border City.
Looking at the four people from the undead tribe, Delqia frowned secretly. He felt that the undead were somewhat disrespectful. They didn't even wear fancy clothes for such an important meeting.
But he didn't notice that Sayil saw the pupils of someone behind Zhang Peng shrink slightly.
Lord of the Undead...
Zhang Peng was in front, and among the people following him, one was actually the Lord of the Undead!
The three people who attended the meeting with Zhang Peng were Li Ziyu, Liu Xingxing and Damenlevsky.
Sayil's hair stood on end.
He didn't expect the Lord of the Undead to show up without informing him in advance.
Li Ziyu also saw Sayil, smiled at him, blinked, and signaled him not to act rashly.
Sayil nodded imperceptibly and pursed his lips.
"Hahaha, good day, my undead friends, I am the messenger of the ratmen, Delqia." When Zhang Peng and the others approached, Delqia immediately smiled, laughed heartily, and stepped forward to greet them with open arms.
"Hello, Mr. Delqia, the ratman envoy. I am Zhang Peng, the mayor of the Rat-Dead Border City." Zhang Peng did not show any special reaction to Delqia's enthusiasm. He still looked half-dead and responded calmly.
Delqia originally wanted to hug Zhang Peng. He had some understanding of humans and knew that a hug was the normal greeting between two parties.
But when he came over with his arms out, he found that Zhang Peng had no intention of hugging him at all, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"Uh, hahaha, City Lord Zhang Peng, come, let's go to the table and eat and talk at the same time." Delqia temporarily changed his posture, and his open arms turned into a gesture of invitation, guiding Zhang Peng and others to the conference table.
Zhang Peng nodded and followed Delqia to the conference table.
Delqia clapped his hands as he walked, and immediately a group of ratmen waiters carrying plates and wine jugs came out from behind and placed fruits, juices and drinks on the conference table.
After everyone was seated and the fruits were laid out, Delqia glanced around, looked at Zhang Peng and asked with a smile, "It's very windy and sandy here. I wonder if City Lord Zhang Peng would allow me to lower the gauze curtain?"
Meetings between two tribes like this are generally cautious, and sometimes a single action can easily lead to misunderstanding.
The reason why the ratmen built a building with open space on all sides was because they were afraid that someone would think too much, so they created an unobstructed environment.
Now that the envoys have met, there naturally needs to be some secrecy.
"Oh, okay." Zhang Peng looked around. He didn't care whether there was wind or not, but the dust was indeed a bit heavy. It would be better to block it with a gauze curtain.
With Zhang Peng's consent, Delqia waved to the rat man in the distance, and immediately a waiter ran over, lowered the gauze curtain that had been installed long ago, and surrounded the room.
The craftsmanship of this gauze curtain is very good. It is very thin and transparent. While it can block wind and dust, it also allows people to see the situation inside clearly. Even if there is any danger, it can be detected at the first time.
After the gauze curtain was lowered, the meeting officially began.
"Dear friends of the Undead, on behalf of our great and supreme Rat King, I offer you a drink of friendship." Delqia stood up, picked up the wine glass, and raised it to Zhang Peng.
Zhang Peng and the others also stood up, picked up their wine glasses and took a sip of wine.
As expected of a royal family, the drinks they serve are indeed delicious.
The wine in the glass is a kind of fruit wine, sour and sweet with a wine aroma, soft on the palate, and tastes surprisingly good.
Putting down the wine glasses, everyone sat down again.
"Mr. Delcha, according to the letter, you want to discuss the issue of mercenaries with us. I want to know what the problem is?" Zhang Peng asked sleepily with dark circles under his eyes.
The ratman messenger wanted to keep it secret, so when he sent the message to Zhang Peng, he did not explain clearly what was going on.
But Sayil was a dead man, and he had secretly told Zhang Peng what he knew.
Zhang Peng asked this question just to seize the initiative.
He was telling Delqia not to bother with empty, messy stuff and just get down to business.
"City Lord Zhang Peng is a quick-witted and straightforward person. So I won't hide anything and will just say it directly. You undead mercenaries are doing a very bad job." The smile on Delqia's face disappeared and he became serious. He raised his head slightly and spoke with a bit of arrogance.
Oh, that's interesting.
His expression changed and he started to put accusations on others.
This guy also knows how to negotiate.
Because Sayil had previously leaked information, Zhang Peng knew that the other party was here to question him.
"I don't think there is anything wrong with our undead. They are fighting on the front line. Did they kill your people?" Zhang Peng leaned back in his chair, crossed his hands on his chest, and looked directly at Delqia.
"No, your mercenaries are not doing what you promised."
"They didn't do what we agreed to do."
"The infected and demons are still wreaking havoc in our Skaven territory, and you undead have failed to eliminate them."
Delqia said this with a serious expression, dissatisfaction in his voice.
Zhang Peng picked up the wine glass and took a sip, with a sarcastic look on his face.
