A simple sentence fell, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point.
The high giants present, especially the male high giants, had different expressions. The No. 1 giant took a step forward and said coldly:
"Why did you choose my sister? If there is a lack of people, I will just go with you. If you want to kill or cut, I will bear it for her."
Kronos also opened his mouth, persuading him tactfully:
"Yeah... Tethis has been living in this palace, and has never seen a world other than giants. When it comes to humans, if they do something out of the ordinary, I'm afraid it will not be a good thing for both of us... "
The giantess Tethis clasped her hands on her chest, looking at her brothers with some concern.
In terms of height, the human teenager in front of her has just reached the position of her chest. But when he pointed at himself, Tethis couldn't help feeling flustered, his mind was filled with the scene of being separated from his brothers and sisters and traveling long distances to a foreign land. She didn't dare to look at Lide, and stared nervously at her brothers.
Lid nodded with a smile and said:
"Well, it seems that you really cherish her, which is very good. You see, I will give this crystal to you sooner or later. I can't break it into pieces, and I will give it to you bit by bit. That's right. It doesn't mean much to you. In order to reduce the risk of both of us breaking the contract, I will give you the most important thing, and you will naturally give me the most cherished person, so it is fair, right?"
"How many low-level giants you have sent to assist us in infrastructure construction, how much food we provide you as a reward every year, how many years the cooperation agreement is signed, what kind of agreement you will abide by after you come... These can be discussed slowly. But Ah, after I have shown my sincerity, you should also show your sincerity, which is the first prerequisite for cooperation."
"In my plan, you need to go to the human border with me. Afterwards, Tesis and the two high giants you selected will enter the human territory. At that time, at least three high giants will be protected by the Great Formation of Protecting the Country." so that I can stay outside with peace of mind and give the crystals to you before going back. I think this is good for both parties. After all, this is the first cooperation between us, and it is always right to be cautious. I Let me reiterate, this is not a suggestion, the third high giant, I ask to choose Tethis."
Kronos didn't know what to say for a while, it was thinking about countermeasures. Although Giant No. 1 was filled with resentment, he didn't dare to make mistakes. Most of the other high giants looked at Tethis, and Tethis, who was the center of the storm, was the first to calm down after a moment of panic.
"Let me go, my lord brother."
She opened her mouth and said softly.
Kronos immediately frowned, but Tethis took the lead and said:
"I think he's right... Since this is a way out for us giants, we must show our sincerity. The current situation is that if humans don't cooperate with us, it will have little impact on them; but if we If I refuse this path, I will pay a great price... If I can be part of that price, then we will have to pay less for other things. I have always thought that if one day I can help my brother , just share some things for my elder brother..."
Speaking of the latter, Tethis's tears flowed down the ground.
Except for Kronos and Siberion who have been looking for a way out, Tethis can be said to be the smartest among the brothers and sisters, and the first to realize that his blood soul will be taken away by Klenas. Therefore, she is also under a lot of psychological pressure. Every day before going to bed, she worries that she will not be able to see tomorrow when she closes her eyes. Now that the situation has eased, she had to pack her bags and go to the human territory thousands of miles away, living with a strange race she had never gotten along with for a long time. All kinds of pressure made her tears flow out uncontrollably .
However, although she was scared in her heart, even though she kept crying, she still chose to raise her head and gritted her teeth to face it.
Siberion next to Kronos opened his mouth, but he just sighed for a long time, with a helpless look on his face.
Tethis stared at Lied, his huge body was still trembling, but he still said firmly:
"Please take me away, Mister Human."
Lied looked at Kronos, the speaker of the tall giant finally nodded and said:
"Okay. Humans, we will contact Tesis every year. If she suffers any grievances there, our cooperation will be terminated immediately... This is not a threat. Please understand that the giants will not sacrifice their own happiness. Based on the suffering of any family member. Siberion, Cohens, you are the same. If you are treated unfairly, you will immediately terminate the cooperation and find a way to come back.”
The two male giants nodded, Tethis was still wiping the tears off his face with his palms, the golden ornaments on his wrists jingling.
Kronos sighed, sat up exhaustedly, waved his hands to the other high giants, and said:
"Leave if you have nothing to do. Next is the negotiation of some specific matters. Many of you lived without knowing the world. It's also my fault. I have always spoiled everyone... But after this incident, you We have to grow up. One day, the giant race will fight with more races, and you will also go to the battlefield. Open your eyes and take a good look. Now we have been reduced to the point where we have to cooperate with humans to survive. survived."
These words seemed harsh to Lied, but he didn't say anything.
The pattern of the upper three, the six and the lower nine has been around for too long, and everyone's ideas are like this. It is a shame for the upper race to cooperate with the lower race, especially this time they were forced to surrender Tesis, who was loved by everyone. Although Kronos said these words in front of Lied, he was not targeting him, but just hoped that other high giants would become stronger as soon as possible.
Sure enough, the other high giants—especially the No. 1 giant, who had always been full of arrogance, all looked heavy when they left, which made Lide feel that the race of giants should not be underestimated.
In other words, any race that can desperately open a way in a desperate situation is not easy.
After most of the high giants and low giants left, Kronos bowed slightly to Lid and apologized.
Lid smiled, saying that he didn't care, and then began to talk to Kronos about some practical things—
This talk lasted all night.
The next day, Kronos left six high giants to guard the palace, and took five high giants and 1,600 low giants on his journey to the south. Among the five high-level giants, three are going to enter the human territory with Lide, and the remaining two will be with Kronos to deliver the blood soul crystal with Lide outside the national defense formation.
Of the 1,600 low-level giants accompanying them, only 800 will enter the human territory, and the remaining 800 will be stationed on the land north of Lingwu to prevent humans from continuing to attack the north one day.
Lide's thoughts had actually drifted further afield.
He sat on the shoulder of a lowly giant, concentrating on how to reduce the woman's unreasonable deduction as much as possible after these giants were brought back...
