Chapter 895: Turned hostile
Chapter 895: Turned hostile
A few days ago, one of the brave men out hunting in the northern hemisphere saw spaceships exploding in the air and saw King Volp crying at the top of his lungs and ordering the destruction of the Great Serpent Empire's Barracks, so he quickly returned to tell his king about what he saw... And indeed, Samson had mobilized his army for the first time in hundreds of years and descended south, for him just to see a strange sight.
The demi-snakes were being slaughtered right and left by the demi-wolves and by other things that looked like the demons from the legends, their barracks were being destroyed and their equipment was being collected!
...Something big had happened and they didn't know anything about it!!
When Samson tried to take a piece of the cake and collect some equipment or a number of the demi-snake corpses to store before the summer came, he found both the demi-foxes and those demons confronting him...
The demi-foxes wouldn't let him take any of the equipment they found, while the demons didn't want to let go of any corpse!
Samson's raging anger was quickly quelled by a single glance from Moren and he retreated towards the Northern Fire Pit again, but not to hide, Moren's terrifying aura told him what he wanted to know about this new enemy, those beings were not intelligent to negotiate with or even hide from them as they did with the demi-snakes, he must fight!!
So he returned to the Northern Fire Pit to gather more armies. He returned with a huge army containing hundreds of thousands of red people and dozens of martial emperors.
That day he shouted at the top of his voice that he would not allow the northern half to be inherited again while he was alive, and he declared that King Volpe was a traitor and sold their half to an enemy worse than the one before, then he declared war and advanced to attack everything located in the northern half!!
This time, King Volpe took him seriously and told him that the demons had indeed come from another planet but they came with humans, that they were only helping them get rid of the Great Serpent Empire, and that there were humans who had come with them to negotiate. He then invited him to meet those humans with him before taking any action...
And here they were, talking, while the vast Northern Half Army was still watching closely, waiting for a signal.
"You mean the demons, sir? General Moren has been under strict orders not to harm the locals of Planet Gudah in any way, has he harmed you in any way?" Old Man Gu asked, feigning interest.
"...No, he didn't harm any of us directly." Samson lowered his voice a little, "But those ugly demons are being too rude, they're grabbing all the demi-snake corpses and don't want to hand them over!!"
"...Hahaha." King Volpe raised his head and started laughing, "Every time you speak of the demons like this kill me, in my eyes, you both look the same, the difference is the presence of eyes! Hahaha."
"Shut up!! Because we're red, we're the same?!" Samson grabbed the glass bottle again, clearly intending to break it on King Volpe's head, but he changed his mind and took another big sip.
"Hehe, no need to argue, gentlemen, everything has a solution..." Old Gu laughed and then smiled at Samson, "Mr, if your problem is with the demons being in your half, then you should know they won't stay for long, they have the entire True Beginning Empire to roam. And if your problem is with the corpses, then that's baseless, you have all this food in front of you and you're talking about the corpses of a sentient race?"
Then Old Man Gu continued with a smile, "...Actually, we have a planet called Orphan Blood, there is also a food shortage due to the poor soil and the spread of the law of Chaos, so the main food there is the meat of sentient races, but that didn't happen here... You preferred to reduce your birth rate rather than form groups and eat each other, this shows me how high your morals are!"
"... Well, there was no need for you to say it like that." King Volpe was clearly very pleased with those words.
"Enn... Enn." Samson nodded twice with a big smile as well.
"Gentlemen, I know that you are forced to eat demi-snakes in order to increase your birth rate for the war, but that is no longer needed..." Old Man Gu pointed to the banquet behind him, "We are here."
"..." King Volpe and Samson swallowed at the same time, but they both felt happy.
The natives of Planet Gudah have evolved to adapt to the conditions, for example, they can consume very small amounts of water, and they can eat a small piece of meat and hibernate for weeks to prolong the digestion process!
This was the first time the two had seen a native of the planet eat to the point of satiety... even they themselves had never experienced this kind of pleasure before!
Perhaps the closest Volpe had ever come to being full was when he was imprisoned in the middle range, there they would bring him 3 meals a day, and every time he saw his portion he would mutter, *"Is this heaven?"*
In front of this beautiful scene, King Volpe sighed and looked into Old Man Gu's eyes seriously, "Heh~ So... what's the catch?"
"....." Old Man Gu froze a little at King Volpe's question, his mission was to help the locals fight, establish a good relationship with them, and then find an opportunity to secretly build a space portal away from the locals' eyes, but the situation had completely changed! He didn't know if Robin was trying to conquer them with that secret space portal, or exploit them to do something with the good relationship, or just wanted to annoy the Great Serpent Empire and establish a foothold next to them... Robin's intentions were completely hidden from him!
When Gu noticed that Volpe and Samson's eyes were almost piercing him, waiting for an answer, he raised his finger and answered the first thing that came to his mind, "The catch is trade, of course!"
"Trade?" King Volpe raised his eyebrows, "What do you want and what are you offering?"
"We want those grasses and shrubs and some beast cubs, maybe some minerals, we won't take anything you need to survive." Old Gu laughed, "And in return, you will forget hunger!" "You can say treasures directly without beating around the bush, do you think we don't know the value of what you want? You want the treasures of the planet in exchange for providing us with the consumed food." Samson put the bottle down beside him, "What will happen after we give you everything we have and you find nothing to drain from us? Stop the food supply and we who will have become accustomed to good food by then die of hunger, right?" "Working to collect our treasures for you while you give us food to eat and shit on the same day? What a brilliant idea... Even the Great Serpent Empire had to shed some blood to take our resources, you have to work a little if you want our property old man!" King Volpe nodded with a laugh but he didn't look happy at all.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"..." Faced with the atmosphere that suddenly turned hostile, Old Man Gu was silent for a moment, then took out something that looked like a seed bag from his space ring, "Follow
me."
