The Kingdom Army from Scarre was still wary of Lucheng's team.
But their soldiers were so exhausted that they couldn't even hold their weapons steadily, and several of them were injured.
Elena did not force them to keep watch, but directly ordered them to find a place to rest.
And now Elena and General Hubert were sitting around the bonfire in Lucheng...exchanging intelligence between the two countries with the Lucheng team.
"Five thousand years of history?"
Elena cried out in surprise the moment she heard Lu Cheng's opening remarks.
But Elena soon realized her gaffe and sat back in her seat obediently.
She clearly understood that even though they were now inside the ruins of a building, the communication between her and Lu Cheng was still... diplomacy between countries.
"I'm sorry, Lord Lu Cheng, is it true that your country has a history of 5,000 years?"
Elena placed her hands on her knees, perfectly following every rule of court etiquette.
Unfortunately, she was now wearing heavy armor, and her cheeks were dirty due to the mixture of dust and blood. No matter how dignified she sat, she could not show any trace of this temperament.
"Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms period... and later Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, our country has gone through a total of 24 dynasties."
Lucheng didn't mind giving the other party some general knowledge before the formal diplomacy. After all, Lucheng also needed to know the specific situation of the Skare Kingdom.
"Xia...Shang..."
Elena imitated Lu Cheng and murmured the names in Chinese, but halfway through she successfully bit her tongue.
"Your language is a little difficult to pronounce." Elena gently covered her mouth to try to ease the embarrassment.
"I also think your language sounds strange."
Due to work reasons, Lu Cheng knows quite a few foreign languages, from basic English to Russian, which he is basically proficient in, but the language of the country of Skare is really very strange.
"Our language? Our country uses the universal language of the world." Elena took a deep breath and continued, "Our country has only been recorded in history for 177 years, and there have only been two dynasties."
When she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and quickly stood up from where she was sitting and performed a strange etiquette towards Lu Cheng.
"I am Elena, the seventeenth princess of the Kingdom of Scarre." She gave a brief self-introduction to Lu Cheng very seriously.
"The pronunciation of your name can be completely converted into English words." Lu Cheng suddenly said.
"What is that?" Elena was slightly stunned when she heard this strange word.
"No, nothing."
Lu Cheng observed Elena's appearance and Hubert's appearance beside her.
Elena had taken off her helmet at this time, and her long black hair fell behind her. Although her hair was black, her pupils were scarlet.
The physical features... Lu Cheng is hard to describe, he looks a bit like a mixed race of Central and European, while the physical features of General Hubert next to him are closer to those of the American Indians.
The only difference is that General Hubert's pupils are silver.
The language and names of this world have too many connections with the Earth, and Lu Cheng can only attribute it to the theory of parallel worlds.
When Elena sat down again, General Hubert, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Lord Lucheng." Hubert pronounced Lucheng's name in Chinese, and the honorific at the end was in their language. "Your country has existed for five thousand years?"
"Yes, our country has gone through many dynasties, and we have also experienced situations like yours... where the enemy invaded our country and forced us into desperate situations, but we still persisted, time and time again. For five thousand years, the enemies we fought against have always changed, and now..." Lu Cheng looked at the dancing flames in front of him and whispered, "Our country is strong enough to compete with any country in the world."
"Your Excellency Nalucheng's status in this country is..."
Hubert had been staring at the holy crystal on the back of Lu Cheng's hand since just now.
With his status in Skare, he must show enough respect to any Saint Crystal holders he sees, because they are basically princes, princes, or even kings from other countries.
"I'm just an 'ordinary' soldier. This thing suddenly appeared in my hands." Lu Cheng didn't think there was anything to hide about the origin of the Holy Crystal.
"Just an ordinary soldier..."
Hubert's expression paused slightly when he heard this answer, but he still controlled his emotions well.
"I suppose you're looking for reinforcements?"
Lu Cheng directly said what General Hubert had been thinking during the conversation.
Hubert's emotions, which had just been controlled, soon began to change. He frowned and tried to organize his words.
The corpses of the blood crystal beasts outside the church were still warm. General Hubert still remembered the fear as if his life was being taken away by the god of death.
But now Hubert understood...those blood crystals were not killed by God, but by the four soldiers in front of him.
Hubert still had doubts about the identity of the Lucheng team, but the corpse of the blood crystal beast lying outside would not lie.
They have the ability to kill those monsters easily.
"Reinforcements, we have been looking for reinforcements. Are you willing to support us?"
Elena asked Lu Cheng in a cautious tone, as careful as a student who wanted to ask the teacher for leave to go home during class.
"Providing support is not as easy as you say, but you must first make it clear...what is going on in your country, or...your world?" Lu Cheng said.
"Lord Lu Cheng, has your country never been invaded by blood crystal beasts?" Elena asked after she calmed down.
"There are disasters like typhoons and earthquakes, but if a monster like that really appeared in our country, it would probably be killed and become a first-class protected animal."
Lu Cheng felt that if that kind of giant wolf really appeared on Earth, it would probably not harm many people and would be locked in a cage and sent to a zoo for everyone to watch.
"ANIMAL CROSSING?"
Elena understood the descriptions of the two disasters, earthquake and tsunami, but she didn't understand the descriptions of the protected animals.
"Our country also has such ferocious beasts that humans cannot rival, such as Siberian tigers and pandas, but their numbers are now very rare. In order for their populations to continue to reproduce... our country has established special laws to protect them," said Lu Cheng.
However, the Siberian tiger is probably no match for that giant wolf. A giant wolf that is as tall as a person may only exist in ancient times. But even if dinosaurs really came, it would probably be just a matter of one magazine of bullets to deal with it.
"Reproduction, blood crystal beasts are not normal creatures at all, Lord Lu Cheng, they are a group of monsters... monsters that only know how to kill." Elena said.
"Please continue and explain clearly what the Blood Crystal Beast is."
Lu Cheng also knew that a monster with sticky liquid all over its body was definitely not born from the womb.
Although there are corpses of blood crystal beasts in Lucheng’s research base, they are still under research and the results will have to wait for some time.
