The next day, Regnar was directly awakened by a smell. He opened his eyes drowsily, and then saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table.
Red wine, vegetables, bread, these things naturally cannot emit an arousing aroma. The most tempting aroma comes from a plate of barbecue. Regnar sat up lazily, and then rubbed his eyes.
"Sir, are you awake?" A soft female voice sounded.
Only then did Regnar realize that there were two barbarians in the room, and he quickly cleared his mind. At this time, Frenda had already placed Regnar's clothes beside the bed.
"Um..." Flanda asked cautiously: "Do you need me to help you dress?"
"No need." Regnar smiled. He was not a young master to begin with, but he felt uncomfortable being served like this. He put the clothes on himself with ease, and then asked casually: "Did you make this breakfast?"
"Yes..." Flanda nodded: "When the people from the mission delivered the ingredients today, they asked me to cook them well, so I did it according to the custom of the barbarians."
"It's not bad, it smells pretty good." Regnar smiled. According to the rules, the mission should have prepared the meal and delivered it directly, but today it was obvious that Alex had given extra instructions to let Frenda to cook. As for what peace of mind this guy has? Most likely, he wanted to see Regnar make an embarrassment to Frenda, but he had no good intentions anyway!
So the more Alex behaves like this, the more Regnar has to show calmness. He was enjoying his breakfast calmly, and then he heard a "coo" sound coming from behind him.
Regnar turned his head and found Regner's son, the barbarian child, looking longingly at the food in front of Regnar. But his body was held tightly by Flanda, preventing him from making any movement.
"I'm sorry, Lord Regnar, have we disturbed you? If so, we can leave." Flanda stood there and asked at a loss.
"I'm eating here alone, and you two stand there and watch helplessly. Do you think someone else would be more comfortable?" Regnar couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Then let's go out immediately." Flanda quickly took the barbarian child and prepared to go outside to drink the northwest wind for breakfast.
"Hey! That's not what I meant." Regnar looked at the submissive Flanda and pointed helplessly at the table opposite him: "Sit down."
"Huh?" Franda was stunned.
"Let's sit down and eat together! I can't finish these things anyway." Regnar said with a smile: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, finish it quickly, I'm going out."
"This... is..." Flanda did not dare to disobey Regnar's order.
"Hmm~~~ The barbecue you made is really good. You barbarians always eat wolf meat, bear meat and the like. The taste is really bad. But if you switch to the beef we brought here, I didn't expect you to be able to cook it like this. It tastes great!" Regnar praised while eating. He looked at the reserved Flanda and the child, and then said with a smile: "Eat quickly! Don't be so afraid of me, I'm not a monster."
Seeing Regner's warm smile, Flanda's fear gradually disappeared. She first forked two pieces of beef and a piece of bread for Regner's son, and then started to eat slowly.
"Very good, that's it." Regnar couldn't help but nodded when he saw Frenda's performance: "I'll go out in a while, and you can look after the house here and clean the room by the way."
"Yes." Franda nodded very obediently.
…
After Regnar finished his breakfast, he called several important members of the mission, and then burped and walked over to Regal.
"Hey! Rego!" Regnar was blocked by several guarding barbarian warriors, so he shouted from a distance: "As agreed, we should negotiate today! Rego!"
"Let them come in." After hearing this, Rego ordered the warriors beside him.
After a while, Regnar walked in with Alex and several others.
Regnar glanced at the hostile looking barbarians around him, and then stood in the middle of the big tent with a carefree attitude: "Then, as agreed, we should talk about business today."
"That's right." Rego nodded: "How do you want to talk about it?"
"According to the character of your barbarians, we might as well be more direct." Regnar found a place to sit on his own, and then said: "You barbarians seem to be very restless now. I heard that barbarians have begun to gather in the southwest of the big tribe. Are you a samurai? Do you have plans to go south?"
"I thought I had done this secretly enough, but did you still find out?" Rego admitted very readily: "Yes, I am indeed gathering the warriors of the tribe, and I want to go south."
"Where are you going south?" Regnar's eyes flashed sharply.
"Of course it's the Hawke Empire." Rego seemed not to feel Regner's oppression.
"..." Regnar did not expect that Rego would be such a bachelor. In fact, it was exactly the same when he thought about it. Barbarians always like to be straightforward, and this guy Rego is even more so. Regnar paused, and then said: "Okay then, since you admit it, it's easy to handle. Now I ask you to withdraw."
"Retreat?" Rego seemed a little amused when he heard this word. His huge body leaned forward, and then asked in a low voice: "Why do you want us to retreat?"
"With the strength of my Hawke Empire." Regnar's face became serious, and he said coldly: "As someone who has personally traveled to the Hawke Empire, you can naturally understand how powerful our human empire is. Do you think you can capture the Hawke Empire with your fifteen thousand barbarian warriors? Are you thinking too highly of yourself?"
Rego was not angry at Regnar's sarcastic words, but nodded: "You are right, I have been to the Hawke Empire, so I understand that under normal circumstances, it is impossible for barbarians to successfully go south. "
"Then why are you still making this pointless attempt? Do you think the clan's population is too large? Do you want to digest it through war?" Regnar continued to sarcastically say.
"Don't forget, I'm talking about normal." Rego stared at Regner and said, "I have been to the Hawke Empire, so I can estimate what stage the war between your two empires has reached. Maybe it's not over yet. However, I think if fifteen thousand quasi-mid-level warriors suddenly jumped out at this time, it would be enough to give your Hawke Empire a headache, right?"
"..." Regnar was silent. Rego was telling the truth, and he couldn't scare Rego at all, because he had been to the Hawke Empire!
"As you said, it's just a headache for us." Alex answered at this time: "Don't forget, the population of the Hawke Empire is tens of millions, which is hundreds of times yours. If you really force it, We are all soldiers, and you fifteen thousand barbarian warriors are nothing more than ants shaking a tree!"
"Oh, I won't force all of you to join the army." Rego said calmly: "I don't expect to directly wipe out a human empire with my tribe."
"Then what do you want?" Regnar couldn't help but ask.
"What I want is just the north of your Hawke Empire." Rego answered directly: "Well... I remember that place is called Semrela Province, right? It's about there."
"You're talking nonsense!" Regnar was furious: "Do you really dare to chew up a province's land directly from the Hawke Empire?"
Rego looked at Regnar, and then nodded seriously: "Yes, I want that much. In fact, I think you might as well be more friendly and just ask the residents to evacuate from there, so that both of us can suffer less damage. .”
"Rego!" Regnar shouted loudly, causing many barbarian warriors to touch their weapons.
"@#￥￥@" Rego said lightly, as if to calm his men down.
"Are you trying to take advantage of the situation? How could a proud barbarian warrior do such a thing?" Regnar said sarcastically.
When Rego heard this, he actually smiled. He stared at Regnar with crooked eyes and said, "Listen, Regnar. I have been thinking about going south since I became the Barbarian King. So, I made a lot of determination about it. I admit that this approach would be a bit shameless, but I still decided to do it. If you want to use this method to humiliate me, then please do it, but if you want to use it to Let us withdraw our troops, I advise you to give up on this idea!"
"Even if you can go south to the Semrela Province, you will never have a stable life!" Regnar looked ferocious: "I can guarantee that as long as the war in the south of our Hawke Empire eases slightly, the next step will definitely be Send the army north! How do you think you can resist the elite army of our Hawke Empire?"
"I rely on the Stoke Empire to resist." Rego was still not angry. He replied: "If you have this intention, I might as well join forces with the Stoke Empire. Even if they take the sea route, they will be able to go here by then. While transporting some sophisticated equipment, think about it, if we let us get your humans' well-made weapons and equipment, how much of a threat will it pose to you? Therefore, you will never take action against us, because once you do, you will We will face the miserable situation of being attacked from both sides.”
"..." At this time, Regnar finally understood how determined Rego was about his decision to go south. As a barbarian, he could give up his dignity and glory, and he could even use methods like uniting the Stoke Empire.
You know, barbarians respect individual strength, so they usually don't join forces with other foreign races. However, Rego was willing to abandon the traditions of his ancestors and choose to unite with the Stoke Empire. It seemed that he was really determined to go south.
"If you can withdraw from the Semrela Province peacefully, then I can consider sending tribesmen to support your northern battlefield after they have settled down. However, all this requires your Hawke Empire to admit to the world that the northern part of the empire belongs to us. It will be carried out later." Rego continued: "I believe that even you humans will not betray your trust to this extent, right?"
"..." Regnar was silent for a while, and then reluctantly said: "If you don't go south, how about the Hawke Empire continuing to deliver supplies to you?"
"Are you still working hard?" Rego sighed: "Regna, I thought that after showing you so much, you would understand what I mean."
"What?" Regnar was stunned for a moment.
