Chapter 683 Temptation
The barbarians of the Ice Plains were the enemies of the Blessed Army and the Chen Clan. However, Qiu Ling'er had been poisoned by the voodoo race's strange poison. Only the ice elemental energy of the Ice and Snow Queen could dissolve it. If she were to start a war with it, even if Li Chen invited Xin Jisi, there would be no turning back.
The palm of his hand was flesh, and the back of his hand was also flesh.
Chen Dihuang was right beside him, and this decision was very difficult to make.
"Big Brother, do as you please." Huang Yong suddenly said, "Marrying a daughter-in-law is based on strength. Even if we concede to the position of the Divine Blessed Army, Patriarch Dan Qing will not agree to marry Fu Shen into Sacred Leaf Town because of this. If our current situation becomes more difficult because of my matter, the gains will not be worth the losses."
"It's not all because of you." Gu Tianyou narrowed his eyes and looked down at the huge four-wheeled carriage that looked like a crystal palace. The faces of the two giant storm bears were ferocious and ferocious. His scarlet eyes stared fixedly at everyone on the shore. The corners of his lips dripped with pink saliva, as if he was so hungry that he wanted to eat his own tongue.
"These Ice Plains barbarians are too brutal." Ao Guang pointed at the army formation below. "There are a few Vladimir Ice Dragons there. When I was very young, I saw a Transformed Great Demon. That person once tried to break through the Dragon Sealing Abyss to save my mother, but he met Fire Saint Liu Yunhuang. After a fierce battle, he was chased away. He is very strong. If no one uses magic treasures, Liu Yunhuang might not be much stronger than him."
"Is the innate ability of this species very strong?" Gu Tianyou asked.
"Ao Guang is right. The Vladimir Clan is an anomaly among the Western dragons. They are born with the Ice Elemental Endowment and are known as the royal clan among the dragons." Daoist Wild Crane said with a serious expression, "In the Federation, there is a standard for dividing the forces of the orcs. The Ice Dragon is the highest-level S-class, and its talent is not inferior to the top-level Great Demon of the Divine Kingdom. In addition to the few Ice Dragons in front of us, there are also two giant storm bears of the same level. I'm afraid they won't be able to block it."
"Then let's hear what this Frozen Plains Princess wants." Gu Tianyou's fighting spirit wasn't strong, and he didn't want to fight with the Ice Plains barbarians unless he had no other choice. Therefore, he raised his voice and said, "I am the witch duchy, Gu Tianyou, the Sheriff of Sacred Leaf Town in the Eastern Province of Terminator Forest. May I ask who is going to talk to me next?"
"I, Vladimir Myskina." Following the introduction, the crystal curtain of the carriage opened. A girl with snow-white skin, long hair, and blue eyes leaned lazily against the golden throne covered in diamond-like crystals. She wore a silver crown on her head, seemingly ordinary, but her value was multiplied by a small piece of super-grade spirit jade embedded in it.
She stared at Gu Tianyou and said, "Your Excellency, it's a pleasure to meet you officially."
This girl's appearance could not be described as beautiful, because her beauty depended more on her charm than on her facial complexion or figure. Her gaze was as tranquil as a flat lake on the plateau. Her beautiful hair hanging down her shoulders was like golden sunlight sprinkling down on the world. She looked as if her entire body was filled with brilliance.
Ever since he was young, he had believed that there was no bloodline, and that Gu Tianyou, who was a strong man, was not a person who believed in the bloodline of nobles. However, at this moment, he deeply felt the power of the so-called bloodline. This little girl is really cold and gorgeous to the extreme. She really didn't know what kind of demeanor her mother, who even respected Jun Tian Yuan Sheng, should have.
The heavenly deities and buddhas didn't make Gu Tianyou feel how awesome this world was, but this princess of the Ice Plains barbarians made Brother Tianyou suddenly believe that there were really gods in this world. Compared to her, the originally cold-tempered Dragon Girl Ao Guang had become a little girl.
"Your Highness, you really amazed me." Gu Tianyou bowed slightly and said politely, "Although it goes against my original intention, I still regret to say to you that as the magistrate here, I cannot accept your troops passing by."
The lightning pool in the air did not dissipate. Myskina knew very well what kind of damage those thunderclaps would cause to her army if they fell like rain. Of course she didn't want things to go that far. She noticed that Gu Tianyou said that it was unacceptable for troops to pass through Holy Leaf Town, but he did not explicitly refuse to provide them with the food they needed most. The barbarians of the Ice Plains were not afraid of enduring the cold, but they were most afraid of starvation. After traveling thousands of kilometers across the sea, the army had been out of food for several days. At this moment, nothing was more important than a warm meal.
"Sir Sheriff, if you are willing to provide enough rations for my soldiers for three days, we are willing to take the risk to enter the ancient business route Trench and take a detour to the Scarlet Dragon Mountain area." Myskina said, "Dear Sir, as the queen of the Ice Plains Kingdom, I would like to assure you that as long as you are willing to provide a generous gift, the Ice Plains barbarians will form a sincere friendship with you and Sacred Leaf Town. Please accept my sincere gratitude."
Myskina stood up from the carriage and bowed in accordance with Western etiquette. "We were unfortunately defeated in the Great Sun Dragon City, but this is not our first defeat. The barbarians of the Ice Plains are a people that are not afraid of failure or sacrifice. We will fight to the end for our children and grandchildren!" She paused for a moment and then said, "If you help us this time, the next time we pass by here, you will have the friendship of the Ice Plains barbarians."
She spoke very politely, and her movements were rather modest, but her tone was rather firm, carrying a threatening intent.
Not only was this little barbarian woman eye-catching, she was also domineering when she spoke. Although she was begging for help, she said it as if she was giving away friendship. Gu Tianyou didn't care much about her words, but he didn't want to be suppressed by her verbally. What I gave you, or what I helped you with, and what you snatched from me, or what you forced me to give you, are two completely different concepts.
"Your Royal Highness." Gu Tianyou said, "food and fresh wat are not a problem, We still have lots of jerky and vegetables, "It's enough for you guys to eat for three days, but I will only give these materials to those who are truly here to make friends, not to those who are looking for me to negotiate with. I represent the will of the witch duchy here. If the price of maintaining dignity is war, I don't mind having a war of dignity with you!"
Myskina probably didn't expect that Gu Tianyou would be so tough even under the pressure of millions of troops. She tilted her head slightly. He looked at the millions of troops behind him in surprise. He turned to look at Gu Tianyou and said, "Sir Sheriff, can I understand what you said just now? If our attitude is humble enough, you don't mind extending a helping hand. If I insist on being arrogant just now, you will continue to insist on your uncooperative attitude, right?"
"Praise His Highness for his holiness." Gu Tianyou followed the Westerners' conversation habit and said, "Of course, I prefer to be good friends with Her Highness the noble Princess, but this relationship must be based on mutual respect, equality, and trust between the two countries."
Myskina said, "If this is what you want, I have no problem." As she spoke, she stepped into the air and automatically condensed pure ice crystals for her to stand on. She stood barefoot and bowed solemnly to Gu Tianyou. "Vladimir Myskina, the princess of the Ice Plains barbarians, sincerely and humbly prayed to you. Lord Gu Tianyou, the magistrate of Holy Leaf Town of the witch kingdom, please provide food for my army."
Her court etiquette was beautiful and standard. The tone of her speech this time was neither humble nor arrogant. Her previous arrogance was swept away. From her expression to her body language, every detail was grasped in place, perfectly demonstrating her sincerity and humility.
Gu Tianyou had no reason to refuse. Just as he was about to agree, he allowed the army to land on the outskirts of Sacred Leaf Town. Ye He suddenly warned, "Let them stay at sea. With so many people stationed there, how can we have such a big place? Didn't they just want food? Let's just provide them with it. As a matter of courtesy, we can invite the noble generals among them to the town hall to rest for a while."
This thief bull's nose was quite unambiguous when facing outsiders. Gu Tianyou smiled and praised, "This Ji Dashan, call up their nobles and leave the army below. If anything happens, just directly attack their generals. If they don't dare to come up, then they don't trust us. This way, there is even more reason to reject them."
She turned around and told the Ice Plains Barbarian King Daughter below. Myskina directly agreed, "Just do as Her Lady wishes. If that's the case, we'll disturb you."
Chen Dihuang remained silent beside Gu Tianyou. At this moment, he suddenly whispered, "If Your Excellency is willing to capture this barbarian princess and hand her over to the Divine Blessed Army, the Three-eyed Great Sage will definitely be willing to seek merit from the Divine Kingdom's Imperial Court for Your Excellency, and there will be no need to worry about sealing your wife and son!"
