"It seems like your IQ isn't very high either?" A look of contempt flashed through Rego's crooked eyes.
"Hey! It's okay to say that I don't have a high IQ. What's the matter with the word 'ye'? Are you scolding yourself? It's really embarrassing for me to be ridiculed by a fool like you!" Reg Na couldn't help but complain.
"Forget it, that's not the point." Rego waved his hand, as if he was very magnanimous and didn't care. He looked at Regnar and said, "It's just that I was surprised. After I showed you those things, I thought you would understand."
"What do I understand?" Regnar was stunned.
"Understand the current living conditions of our barbarians." Rego said seriously: "Think about it! You have seen how we live here these days. Do you think this kind of life is comfortable?"
"Uncomfortable." Regnar admitted frankly: "The environment on your ice and snow plateau is very harsh, so I offer to provide you with material assistance."
"We don't need assistance!" Rego waved his hand: "The people of our ancestors have never relied on others' charity to survive. If we want something, we will not ask for it, we will create it ourselves, or rob others."
"So you are determined to go south?" Regnar's face turned cold. Looking at this posture, it seemed that Regnar would not let go no matter what he said today.
"That's right!" Rego nodded, and he suddenly said excitedly: "As you can see, the barbarian boy named Zaire, his mother, and the child... they are all Living lives, but because of this land, we have to choose to abandon them! Do you think I am willing to do this? Do you think other tribesmen are willing to do this? No! I am not willing! I think other tribesmen should not be willing to do it either! But why did we abandon them? Because we had no choice! Because this land can only support so many people!"
"..." Regnar could hear the anger and unwillingness in Rego's words. Indeed, as the majestic king of the barbarians, he could only watch his children being abandoned and freezing to death in the wind and snow, even if As long as Rego still has a little bit of humanity, he will definitely suffer from this choice.
But he couldn't show any signs of it, because he was the barbarian king, and he had to set an example. If he adopted a weak child like himself, there was no guarantee that other tribesmen would do the same. If things continued like this, the overall quality of the barbarian tribesmen would undoubtedly decline.
"You have to save Zaire, you have to save Frenda, you have to save... that child! And you do exactly that. Not only do you do that, you can also stand on what you humans call the moral high ground and act recklessly. Criticize us, we barbarians!" Rego became more and more angry as he spoke. He said loudly: "That's right! We barbarians are indeed barbaric, we barbarians do lack compassion, and we barbarians do fall behind! We lack you. We are proud of our humanity, so you came here and showed us what compassion and humanity are! In your human words, you are so handsome, really handsome, so handsome!"
"I..." Regnar was speechless. It wasn't until Rego said it that Regner understood that Rego was not indifferent to his performance in the past few days. In fact, he has been enduring, enduring his own contempt and disapproval. But Rego never said a word. Why? Because from a human perspective, what he did was indeed deserving of contempt. But is this really what Rego wants to do
Rego adjusted his mood, and then continued: "But, have you ever thought about why I do this? Why do we barbarians do this?"
"I... I don't know..." Regnar was a little at a loss by Rego's question.
"No! You know! Not only you, you humans here, and the entire continent know it!" Rego suddenly yelled angrily: "Because of the land! Because of the living environment! Because of this damn snowy plateau, we We have to do this! As long as we live here, we cannot have more food, and we must repeat this behavior that makes you humans despise us! And what about you humans? You humans sit on a large piece of fertile land , food, water, minerals, livestock, you have everything you need! You live a prosperous life, so you will derive morality and humanity. Then, you can rely on these 'noble' things to separate your civilized selves from us barbarians. The clans are separated! You know! That’s how it is!”
"..." Regnar remained silent, because what Rego said was irrefutable.
"Do you know?" Rego sighed and continued: "When I first went south and entered the human country, I was shocked by the living environment there. But do you know what thoughts I had at the beginning? Huh? I was thinking at the time, if the living environments of our two races were interchanged, which race would the name 'savage' fall on? Regnar, what do you think?"
"..." Regnar remained silent. He didn't expect that this barbarian king who seemed like a rude and idiot could be so eloquent. From this point of view, the negotiations are destined to have no results.
"So, I must go south!" Rego glanced at all the humans present: "Since I am the king, then I have the obligation to give my people a better life and give future generations a better future. If you get out of the way , then we will walk over. If you don’t let us, then we will fight over!”
"Well said!" Alex clapped his hands, bowed slightly and said: "I didn't expect Lord Rego to have such a long-term vision and think so much about his clan, Alex I deeply admire you.”
"Thank you, Mr. Alex." Rego replied calmly: "We barbarians don't like beating around the bush when negotiating, so I will tell you my attitude directly. I want to go south, unless you already have the ability to withstand the 200,000 residents of the ice and snow plateau. power, otherwise you will not be able to stop my steps."
"How do you know we don't have this power?" Alex said with a smile.
"Because I have been to the Hawk Empire." Rego replied: "And I have also been in contact with the Stoke Empire. It is impossible for you to allocate more forces to stop the northern offensive. Don't talk about secret weapons or the power of the Holy Domain. I'm not afraid of people trying to scare me, and I'm willing to take the risk."
"So, no matter what we say today, it won't change your decision to go south?" Regnar asked.
"That's right." Rego nodded, looked at Regna, and then said sincerely: "Regna, we have some friendship at least, so I took you to see this ice and snow plateau. I hope You understand me. If you can be a buffer between us and the Hawke Empire, then I will always remember your kindness."
"The specific function is to mediate in the middle, so that you can set up camp in the Human Empire at a lower cost?" Regnar asked.
"Yes." Rego nodded, and then said seriously: "Help us and let us get a piece of land to recuperate in the north of the Hawke Empire. I can swear in the name of my ancestors that we barbarians will also repay you."
"..." Regnar began to enter a thinking state.
"Actually, this is not something that cannot be considered." Alex was the first to express his stance: "However, how much land will we give you, and how much will you help us? Send us a barbarian to help, and the same It can be considered as repayment."
"Do you think that with the pride of our barbarians, we would do such a thing?" Rego asked proudly.
"I'm sorry, because of your approach of taking advantage of others' danger to go south, I don't think the barbarians can have any pride now." Alex said sharply and sarcastically.
"..." Rego originally wanted to get angry, but when he thought about how many casualties his tribe would have in the future, it would all depend on what they said in the Hawke Empire. Only then did he control his anger. Rego turned to stare at Alex, and then asked: "So what are Mr. Alex going to do?"
"If our Hawke Empire gives you a living space, then you must devote your entire clan to the war against Stoker." Alex replied.
"This is impossible." Rego shook his head: "Going south is already a difficult journey for our clan. If we join the war between the two empires after this, it will be a huge disaster for our clan. A blow. This is almost the same as the cost of us going south to fight the Hawke Empire directly."
"Then your highness, Rego, your idea is to occupy the land area of our Hawke Empire province without spending a single soldier, and then make some casual remarks to us, will it be considered a settlement?" Alex said coldly. asked: "Don't you think you are too thick-skinned?"
"We will make contributions, but we cannot throw the entire race into the war." Rego still shook his head: "Your two human empires are equivalent to a huge millstone. We barbarians only have a population of 200,000. Once Throw it into this millstone and it will undoubtedly be ground into powder.”
"Then what can you do?" Regnar asked.
"I'm not sure. It all depends on the attitude of your Hawke Empire and the future development of our clan." Rego replied calmly.
"In the final analysis, what you offered to our empire, Rego, was nothing more than an empty bill." Regnar sneered.
Alex rolled his eyes, and then said: "How about this, I think we have a duel to determine the contribution of both parties?"
"Oh? What do you mean?" Rego seemed very interested in this.
"To put it simply, the price we both pay will be determined based on the outcome of the duel." Alex spread his hands and replied with a smile.
