Chapter 322 Give an Explanation
"Delchia is a piece of trash, a piece of trash!"
"Tell him to rebuke the Undead and lower the cost of hiring them. What did he do?"
"If he can't even do such a small thing, I'll execute him when I get back!"
In the palace, the Rat King waved a piece of animal skin and roared loudly.
He received a letter from the city-state of Ilmaha, which was sent to him by Delcha. He thought it would be good news, but unexpectedly it was bad news, which made the Rat King very upset.
After Delqia set off, the elders and nobles showed no intention of stopping. They continued to jump up and down, forming alliances and trying to force him, the rat king, to issue an order to expel the undead.
Those elders and nobles who relied on their family power, had never been to the battlefield, and just sat in office doing nothing, had no idea about the current situation of the ratmen.
They are always concerned about their own immediate interests and never think about the consequences of their actions on the entire rat race.
Without the restraint of the undead, a large number of infected people will frantically attack the ratman city-states, and then the ratman city-states will fall one by one.
The Skaven's power will be reduced, with legions and civilians slain by the infected.
Of course, these were not taken into consideration by the ratmen elders and nobles.
They probably wish this were the case.
The city-state was conquered, and the legions and civilians were killed, which was never a bad thing for the elders and high-ranking nobles.
When a city-state falls, the merchants and nobles in the city-state will flee with their belongings. At that time, the families of these elders and nobles will be able to use various means to seize all these resources into their own hands.
The civilians who escaped from the city-state were also a feast. They would become refugees because they were homeless, and would be recruited by the elders and nobles, becoming slave ratmen and sold as commodities.
There are also many benefits when the Legion is killed by the infected.
Ratmen legions are often city-state legions, and ratmen nobles often have private soldiers. If the city-state legions are killed in battle, it means that the power of the royal family has been weakened, while the nobles' private soldiers are not harmed. As a result, they can gain greater power.
What the elders and nobles really thought was that this battle should continue and be kept within a controllable range.
What if I don't know?
The Rat King would sneer whenever he thought of their little thoughts.
As someone who fought his way out from among many rat princes, the Rat King is no incompetent person. The little thoughts of the elders and nobles cannot be hidden from his eyes at all.
It is simply impossible to let the undead evacuate.
On the contrary, as for the hiring costs, the emperor wanted to take advantage of the disturbance caused by the elders and nobles to reduce the hiring costs of the undead.
This was beneficial to him, after all, most of the hiring costs came from his side, and only a part was paid by the city-states.
After roaring for a while, the rat royal family finally calmed down and picked up the wine glass to drink.
"Great Emperor, there is an urgent message from the city-state of Ilemaha." The guard came in from outside, knelt on one knee, and reported to the Rat King.
Um?
It's another letter from Ilmaha, and it's an urgent message. Is there something wrong over there?
"Let the messenger in." The Rat King sat down and said to the guard.
"Yes." The guard stood up and walked away backwards.
Soon, a messenger hurried in from outside, knelt before the Rat King, and said loudly, "Respected and great Rat King, I, the messenger Ilmaha, offer you my loyal and sincere respect."
The Rat King waved his hand, signaling the messenger to stop talking nonsense. "Where's the letter?"
The messenger took out a sealed wooden tube from his pocket and presented it with both hands.
The attendant took the wooden barrel, looked at it carefully, rubbed it with his palm, and made sure that it was not coated with poison before presenting it to the Rat King.
The emperor grabbed the wooden barrel and checked the seal. Seeing no signs of it being opened, he picked up a small knife, opened the seal, and poured out a piece of animal skin paper.
After unfolding the parchment and taking a few glances at it, his brows furrowed and his anger rose.
"Damn Delcha, damn trolls, damn undead!"
He cursed viciously, and the servants around him lowered their heads, pretending they couldn't hear or see anything.
Three times.
Not only did the cost of hiring the undead not decrease, it increased threefold.
This is like rubbing salt into the wound, making things worse!
The area of animal skin paper was limited, so Delqia could not record the entire process of the three-tribe meeting, but only picked out the key points.
The general meaning is that when he was negotiating with the Undead, the Troll Prince came to make trouble, causing the hiring price to be tripled. If the price was not tripled, the Undead would have to sever cooperation with the Skaven and no longer supply the Skaven with Undead Legions.
The Rat King really didn't want to bother with this matter, but if he stopped supplying the Undead Legion, he would be the one to bear the consequences in the end!
Damn trolls, what the hell did you do?!
"Send someone to Ilemaha, I want to know what exactly happened!" The Rat King suppressed the urge to kill and spoke through gritted teeth.
…
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Prince Gregory." Zhang Peng shook Gregory's hand and said with a smile.
A week has passed since the meeting of the three tribes. The troll tribe’s supplies have been delivered to the undead territory and handed over to Zhang Peng.
The trolls are quite a distance away from the undead territory, so if they transport supplies normally, the speed will not be so fast.
In fact, the team transporting supplies had already set out long before the troll delegation set out.
