Orc Tyrant

"Traitor, can you tell me what Oak did to you?"

Liya stared at her, her hands clenched into fists. Although she didn't say a word, the strong ups and downs in her chest betrayed her.

It's anger.

"Look, look at her! Oak didn't violate her, but I dare say it must have done more terrible things! And it will happen to you in the future!"

"enough!"

Liya broke the other party's words, took a deep breath, calmed down her tumbling heart, and then looked at the anxious queen on the throne again.

"I have said everything that should be said, everything, your Majesty, you decide for yourself."

"before you……"

Isabella III subconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes. Originally, this action shouldn't have appeared on such a solemn occasion. She had always remembered it, but under tension, she still forgot the teachings of her aunt.

"... You said before that there is one more condition for Guk, what is it?"

"Fifty thousand soldiers."

"what!?"

Ava and Grand Vizier exclaimed together, and the others were also stunned.

"My lord's request is very simple. The kingdom provides fifty thousand soldiers. There are no other requirements yet."

Liya had to repeat her words again, but no one listened carefully later.

"It dreams!"

Ava yelled angrily, and Grand Vizier also looked indignant.

"It's too much, the kingdom's people are only more than five million in total, and it has to go so much at once!"

Limited to the barren land of the Flame Plateau, the population of the Harpy Kingdom is not too large, and their agricultural model is also very backward. Due to institutional defects, it is difficult for the Harpy to carry out human-like intensive farming. In addition, most of the arable land was occupied by nobles and temples, and only the slaves they mastered had the ability to cultivate intensively.

Ordinary harpy can only grow a root crop called benzoca in mountainous areas. This plant is very drought-tolerant and does not require high soil requirements. It can even grow in crevices. The only drawback is that The yield is not very high, and it lacks nutrition, so most Banshee civilians look thin and withered. It is not that they are naturally like this, it is just the result of chronic malnutrition.

Under normal circumstances, a harpy can lay 5-8 eggs after being combined with a human male, but this is limited to the premise of adequate nutrition. Most harpy bred two eggs alone is already very difficult Of it.

Furthermore, the population in turn limits the level of survivability of the Harpy. Unless the nobles distribute the land and livestock to the civilians, this situation cannot be changed in a short time.

"Wait a minute."

After Isabella III was silent for a while, he suddenly raised his tone and interrupted the noise of the crowd. The Phoenix Guard responded with the sound of neatly colliding weapons.

For a moment, there was no sound in the king's court.

"He... does he only need fifty thousand at a time, or will he always charge fifty thousand?"

Although the young queen was immature, she was not lacking in intelligence. She found the key point of the problem before everyone else.

This question stumped Liya. Before coming, Gu Ke didn’t say so in detail. But this is indeed a very critical question. It only needs 50,000 soldiers, so the Harpy Kingdom may not be able to afford it, but if Gu Ke Ke is asking to "keep" 50,000 yuan. It is estimated that no one here is acceptable.

Liya pondered for a moment, and based on her knowledge of Guk, the two possibilities were equal.

So she turned to another messenger who came with her for advice.

Everyone's eyes were focused on her, watching Liya step by step in front of Batka.

"Is it fifty thousand or fifty thousand?"

When Liya spoke Ok's language in her turbid voice, many of the banshees present were taken aback. They never thought that Ok's language could be learned.

"I wonder..."

Batka touched her chin, then said something that made Liya a little confused.

"...He wants you to decide."

Liya frowned. She didn't know if Batka was sober now, because she had heard that this guy sometimes got nervous.

But then, Batka's words proved that his IQ has not left him yet.

"Boss Guk, I understand, if he really wants to do it, he won't tell you, if he doesn't want to do it, then he won't tell you. Since he told you, it means he will not do it. It's up to you to decide."

An unspeakable feeling came to her heart, Liya's vision was a little fuzzy, but she quickly raised her head, turned and walked towards the queen's throne.

Everyone craned their necks and waited for her results. Ava had even put his hands on the hilt of the sword. As long as the other party uttered a word to ignite everyone's anger, she would behead the other party to death.

Isabella III was also waiting nervously for the other party's reply, and she couldn't help pulling up the corners of her clothes again.

"My lord means..."

Taking a deep breath, Liya scanned the crowd. When she glanced over her mother, she saw the worry and helplessness in her eyes. When she looked at many nobles, she saw a lot of fear and anger. When she looked at When many priests saw their loss and confusion, when

When she looked at the Grand Vizier, she saw a weak old man trying to keep his hands from shaking.

Many complex thoughts poured into her mind like a tide, memories of the past, former relatives and friends, former enemies, terrible experiences, and the white body that stands tall like a high wall.

These stirred her thinking like a whirlpool, making her hesitate and blame herself.

At the last glance, Liya looked at the young queen. She is far from being an excellent ruler, but she cares for her people beyond words. In the blood marsh-like palace, there are flowers like her as flawless as ancient times. Rarely, she is indeed a good person, at least never criticizing her on any issues of etiquette, and even allowing Batka to come to the royal court.

If all this is destroyed, can she sleep peacefully again?

After all, she is not an Okker after all, not a creature that can satisfy her emotions by relying on violence alone. After figuring this out, Liya's thinking suddenly becomes clear-destruction is not the only choice, she is Liya , Not Ok.

After clearing her throat, Liya said loudly in the eyes of everyone:

"Only fifty thousand! No more!"

Her voice reverberated in the royal court like a bell, and in her long Ouke social career, she also exercised a loud voice.

Everyone was silent, and Ava slowly inserted the sword back into the sheath, and together they turned their attention to the young queen on the throne.

Isabella III gasped quickly, then glanced at the Grand Vizier, who responded with a slight nod.

Then she announced her decision.

"In order to maintain peace between the two races, I decided to conclude an alliance with the King of Oc!"

"Follow the king's order!"

All the banshees present knelt to the ground, only Liya remained standing, but Isabella did not blame her, but responded with a friendly smile to her.

"Liya, the daughter of the sky, there will be a private dinner later, I hope you can attend."

"Thank the Queen for showing her love."

Liya bowed and saluted, finally showing a rare smile on her face.
