Chapter 568 Harsh Conditions

Alarie's eyes flickered slightly; this was the first time Lin Mo had seen such a subtle change in emotion on her face.

This means she was touched.

Lin Mo seized this opportunity and struck while the iron was hot.

"Of course, Great Xia will not let the elves take risks for nothing."

"We have reached an agreement with the Holy Humans, and they have agreed to provide assistance."

"Similarly, for the Elven race, our Great Xia can also pay them the corresponding compensation according to the standard of employing seventh-tier combat power."

Upon hearing this, Ella said calmly:

"The elves are not lacking in wealth."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo felt a sense of relief despite the seemingly dismissive words.

There is a play.

This shows that she is no longer struggling with the question of "whether or not to make a move".

The negotiations have now entered the bargaining phase.

Lin Mo's mind raced.

The elves have no shortage of money or resources.

A race that has lived for thousands of years, what good things haven't they seen?

What is she lacking?

I've got it! A sense of security!

An elven queen over two thousand years old, who had experienced countless wars and crises, always cared most about the long-term survival of the elven race.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo spoke up.

"Since Her Majesty the Queen is not concerned about money, then, in addition to paying the reward, Great Xia promises to unconditionally help the Elven race once in the future."

"Whether it's a demon invasion or any other crisis threatening the survival of the Elf race, Great Xia will go all out without any conditions."

The atmosphere inside the hall subtly changed after those words were spoken.

Fendona stared wide-eyed at Lin Mo, her emerald green eyes filled with surprise.

This promise carries far more weight than any amount of money.

Ella looked at Lin Mo, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"twice."

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty..."

"On the condition that payment is made, Great Xia will unconditionally assist the Elven race twice more in the future." Elarry's tone left no room for negotiation.

"These are my conditions."

Lin Mo did not immediately agree, but shook his head seriously.

"Your Majesty, the price is too high."

"As you know, Great Xia is a technological civilization, unlike the various tribes of Terra, who can influence the course of a war simply by sending out a few powerful individuals."

"When we fight a war, we need to deploy tens of thousands of soldiers and manufacture a large number of technological weapons."

"Missiles, ammunition, tanks, fighter jets... each one requires a massive amount of resources."

"A war consumes the entire nation's destiny."

"Two unconditional interventions are tantamount to the Great Xia Dynasty overdrawing its national fortune twice. The price is simply too high..."

He paused, then changed the subject.

"Moreover, Your Majesty, your actions this time are also helping yourselves."

"An existence at the level of an eighth-tier demon god is something that no race in the entire Terra can deal with head-on."

"Only our Great Xia's antimatter bombs can do it."

"To save Great Xia is to save Terra's last hope for survival."

"Your Majesty should be aware of this."

Ella didn't speak, just quietly looked at Lin Mo.

Only the rustling of the World Tree's branches and leaves in the wind remained inside the hall.

After a moment, she sighed softly.

"We have not forgotten the kindness that the Great Xia helped the Elf race resist the Demon race."

Her voice softened slightly, but she still maintained her queenly dignity.

"How about this?"

"The employment fee will be waived."

"In return for this support, Great Xia will provide unconditional assistance to the Elf race twice in the future."

Lin Mo opened his mouth, just about to try again.

Ella raised her hand to stop him.

"This is already the bare minimum, Lord Lin Mo."

"This condition is just a promise that needs to be fulfilled in the future; you can treat it as an investment."

"We'll help you once, and in return, we'll receive help twice more in the future."

"That makes perfect sense."

Lin Mo lowered his head in deep thought.

Two instances of unconditional assistance did come at a considerable cost.

But the situation on Earth is now extremely critical.

Every minute wasted made the situation in Daxia worse.

And the Elf Queen was right; this is a promise that needs to be fulfilled in the future.

Let's get through this hurdle first.

If we can't even survive, why would we care about the future?

Lin Mo looked up and smiled.

"Okay, no problem!"

Alarie nodded slightly, the seriousness between her brows easing a little.

"The Elf race can send three Tier 7 warriors to Blue Star to support Great Xia."

Lin Mo was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.

"Three people?"

He looked at Ellary, his tone tinged with doubt.

"Your Majesty, aren't there four seventh-tier warriors among the Elven race?"

During the last battle to defend the Great Xia territory, the Elven race deployed four seventh-tier troops.

Now one is missing. Who is it?

Ella glanced at him indifferently.

"I will not go this time."

Her tone was calm, leaving no room for explanation.

"There are many internal affairs that need to be handled within the Elven race."

"At the same time, I also need to remain in Terra to guard against the demons."

Lin Mo looked at her, and since she had even used the term "this king," he knew that she was resisting.

Three seventh-tier beings went to Blue Star, while she herself stayed in Terra.

Even if something unexpected happens on Earth, it's reasonable that the Elven race still has top-tier combat power to maintain order on Terra.

Lin Mo didn't insist that the other party personally participate; obtaining three seventh-tier items was already a good result.

If you push your luck any further, don't anger the other party and cause them to abandon the cooperation.

"Okay." Lin Mo nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ella raised her right hand, and a yellowed parchment appeared out of thin air in her hand.

This is a magical contract.

In Terra, major agreements are never spoken.

Once a magical contract is signed, it is bound by the rules of Terra magic, and any party that breaches it will suffer the consequences.

Ellari unfolded the parchment, placed it on a table beside her, and began to write.

Lin Mo leaned forward and took a look.

The contract was very concise.

The Elven race dispatched three seventh-tier warriors to Blue Star to assist the Great Xia in resisting the Demon invasion.

In exchange, Great Xia will unconditionally assist the Elf race twice in the future, regardless of the nature or timing. The Elf race has stipulated that Great Xia must go all out.

Then Lin Mo's gaze fell on the last line, and his pupils contracted slightly.

If the Great Xia breaches the contract, all of Great Xia's rights and interests on the Terra continent will belong to the Elf race.

This includes the Great Xia fiefdom, all buildings and property within the fiefdom, and the personnel residing there.

Lin Mo frowned.

"Your Majesty, this breach of contract clause..."

He looked up at Ella, somewhat embarrassed:

"Isn't that too harsh?"
