Chapter 163 The two races formally negotiate trade requests

Just as the three were amazed by the Elven people's reconstruction efficiency, a soldier reported from outside the tent.

"Reporting, Commander! Elder Wood Whisper of the Elven race has arrived with his entourage to request an audience!"

"Please let them in," Long Zhan ordered in a deep voice.

Soon, Elder Muyu and an elf with a younger face and a calm demeanor walked in.

As soon as he entered the tent, he bowed deeply to Lin Mo, Long Zhan, and Zhao Gang.

"Three esteemed commanders of Great Xia, I am the newly appointed lord of Emerald Leaf City, named Elron."

"On behalf of the City of Emerald Leaves and all the spirits who have returned home, I extend to you my highest respect and sincerest gratitude."

His voice was choked with emotion.

"It was you who dispelled the darkness that lingered here, allowing us to return home."

"The Elven race will never forget this kindness."

Lin Mo stepped forward and helped him up.

"Your Excellency, you flatter us. Fulfilling the contract is what we should do."

Elron straightened up, took a beautiful box made of moonwood from the servant behind him, and presented it with both hands.

"This is the compensation we promised."

Lin Mo took the box.

The box feels smooth to the touch, is 40 centimeters tall and 50 centimeters long, and is quite heavy.

He opened the box, and a soft, life-giving green light instantly filled the entire tent.

In the center of the box, a seed the size of a soccer ball lay quietly.

Its entire body was emerald green, and an unimaginably powerful life force wafted over it. Just one whiff of it made Lin Mo feel that the fatigue from not sleeping for several nights had dissipated considerably.

World Tree Seeds!

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up instantly, and his breathing quickened.

Lin Mo calmly closed the box, handed it to Zhao Gang, and smiled at Elron, saying:

"Thank you, Lord City Lord. We have received the payment."

He paused, then changed the subject.

"Now that you have arrived, the jurisdiction and defense of Emerald Leaf City are officially transferred to you from this moment on."

"The subsequent defense work will be the sole responsibility of the Elven race."

"Our Great Xia Expeditionary Force has lived up to its mission."

Elron nodded solemnly.

"Understood. Please rest assured, the three of you, we will never allow the demons to set foot in Emerald Leaf City again!"

He bowed again.

After exchanging a few more polite words, he said:

"The city is in dire need of reconstruction, and there are many matters that require my personal attention. I will take my leave now, and Elder Muyu will continue the conversation with you."

"Yes, I understand. Take care, Lord City Lord."

After seeing off the new city lord, only the three members of Da Xia and Elder Mu Yu remained in the tent.

The atmosphere suddenly shifted from official to casual.

Elder Mu Yu's smile became more amiable as he looked at Lin Mo.

"Your Excellency, you already know the good news from yesterday: we launched a counterattack against the demons at the Lostia City defense line and achieved victory."

Lin Mo nodded, "Yes, as you said yesterday, congratulations again."

Elder Mu Yu's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"In this resounding victory, your weapons performed exceptionally well, far exceeding our most optimistic expectations!"

"It was your 'technological legion,' built from your weapons, that achieved a great victory!"

Upon hearing this, Long Zhan and Zhao Gang smiled.

"Therefore..." Elder Mu Yu took a deep breath, her tone becoming extremely solemn.

"Her Majesty the Queen has decreed that she wishes to acquire more weapons on a larger scale!"

"Rifles, machine guns, artillery, tanks... and those weapons you call rockets and missiles, we hope to purchase a batch of them!"

coming.

Lin Mo and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance, secretly pleased; the other party had indeed taken the bait.

Lin Mo and the others had already prepared for this.

The Great Xia came to Terra not to do charity.

Weapons can be sold, but not so easily.

It's not that I'm here to become an arms dealer.

Great Xia must seize this opportunity to gain greater benefits, such as a permanent teleportation portal, or a stable fiefdom that belongs to Great Xia itself.

Lin Mo's face showed just the right amount of embarrassment.

"Elder Mu, as you know, we are just an expeditionary force."

"Such a large-scale arms trade is beyond my authority."

"I must... report to the higher-ups on Earth, and let them make the decision."

"Besides, there's no teleportation portal right now, so we're really powerless to help."

Elder Muyu's eyes flashed.

He immediately understood Lin Mo's subtext.

This is clearly an implication that if we want to do business, we should open the portal back to us first!

Elder Mu Yu's face remained smiling as he calmly said:

"Of course, I understand."

"I will await your decision with great anticipation."

"We will communicate with the Holy Humans to reopen the portal that we promised to send you back. Please rest assured, the Elven race is a race that keeps its promises!"

Just then, another announcement came from outside the tent.

"Report! Archbishop Kyle of the Holy Human Race has arrived!"

The people inside the tent were all taken aback.

Why did he come here? He'd already finished breakfast.

Lin Mo muttered to himself, but still said:

"Please let him in."

Kyle strode in, accompanied by two priests.

He first greeted Lin Mo, the Holy Son, Long Zhan, and Zhao Gang politely, then his gaze fell on Elder Mu Yu, and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Oh, Elder Mu is here too. Today's breakfast is delicious, with your favorite tofu pudding!"

Elder Muyu pretended not to understand the other party's subtext and said:

"Really? But I'm not hungry yet, no rush."

Lin Mo had a chair pulled out for Kyle to sit down.

Kyle bowed slightly and sat down, then looked at Elder Muyu again.

"Your people have just arrived in Verdant Leaf City and are rebuilding their homes. It's a joyous occasion; won't you go and see?"

"There's already a new city lord in charge, so I'm too old to bother with anything else." Elder Mu Yu still didn't understand, so he picked up a disposable cup on the table and took a sip.

Kyle clearly hadn't expected Elder Muyu to be so shameless.

The atmosphere inside the tent became somewhat strange and awkward.

Lin Mo decided to interrupt their scheming and said:

"Teacher, what brings you here...?"

After a moment of silence, Kyle had no choice but to get straight to the point.

"Your Holiness, Commanders, I have just received a message from a messenger. I have come here on the orders of His Holiness the Pope."

"The Holy Human Race wishes to discuss new weapons procurement with you."

Lin Mo was overjoyed; good things were happening one after another!

He said calmly:

"Master Kyle, I'm very sorry."

"Like the elves, I cannot give you an answer to such an important matter at this time."

"We are merely an expeditionary force with limited authority and equipment. Without a teleportation portal, we cannot grant your trade request at this time."

"But I will consult with the higher-ups on Earth, so you can rest assured about that."

Since I was representing an official position, I did not continue to address the other party as "teacher".

As for trade requests, we'll definitely give the other party the time to cool off first, and play psychological warfare.

Kyle frowned upon hearing this.

Elder Muyu, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity to say:

"Kyle, perfect timing. Our Elven race has promised the Great Xia humans that after we complete the contract to reclaim the City of Emerald Leaf, we will pay them again to open a portal for ten days. Please help us open the portal so that they can return to their homeland."

"Of course, this will also speed up the trade process among our three parties."

Kyle frowned slightly upon hearing this.
