Chapter 2753: Rationality?
Su Xiao opened the ice box on the table and took out a gem pendant from inside. The ice-blue gem was emitting wisps of cold air.

Seeing the attributes of this equipment, Su Xiao's gaze turned to Ice-Born Simon. Ice-Born Simon nodded with a smile.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar were both a bit dumbfounded. They both witnessed today what it meant to jump on a minefield. This gift-giving was wonderful.
"Mr. Bai Ye, are you satisfied with this meeting gift?"
Ice-Born Simon sat down and signaled an Ice-Born girl beside him to pour a cup of black tea. He had drunk the black tea from Duoyin Empire's Mipo Manor once, and now smelling it, he immediately recalled that mellow aroma.
Ice-Born Simon took a light sip, and his eyebrows relaxed. Seeing this scene, Diplomat Difuton's blood pressure rose, but Su Xiao didn't say anything. As a diplomat of Duoyin, he certainly couldn't angrily rebuke Simon in such an occasion.
"This is black tea from Mipo Manor. Mr. Bai Ye, your generosity in receiving guests is admirable."
Ice-Born Simon's light sentence made Diplomat Difuton's carefully prepared meeting gift go to waste. He couldn't emphasize that this black tea from Mipo Manor wasn't Su Xiao's, but sent by him; that would be stealing the limelight.
"Do beasts of the Northern Territory also drink black tea? If you are thirsty, wouldn't gnawing a few mouthfuls of snow on the ice sheet solve everything? Simple and time-saving. Moreover, the Northern Territory doesn't produce black tea."
Difuton shook his head with a smile and took a small sip of the tea cup.
"Indeed, but the Northern Territory's mineral veins are rich. Who came to me last year wanting to buy a batch of thunder steel ore? Who was it? Let me see my memory, it seems like a mongrel who sold his own biological brother."
Simon and Difuton were both full of smiles. If Su Xiao weren't present, they would have already greeted each other's relatives.
The game between great powers was just so wonderful. A few days ago, the Duoyin King was still discussing with the Polar Ice Overlord how to get rid of Su Xiao, and at this time, the two sides had already turned against each other. The original common enemy had become the target of their wooing.
This two-sided war, the Chaos Legion as a common enemy, was already dead in name only. The reason was that, except for Su Xiao's Wolf Cavalry Legion, the Gray Orc troops on the Chaos Legion's main defensive line only had 370,000 left.
His side's current combat power was: 610,000 Wolf Cavalry Legion, of which 500,000 were in the frontline war zone, and 110,000 were reserve troops. Excluding these Wolf Cavalry, Overlord Arcadia also had 370,000 Gray Orc Legion in his hands.
This 370,000 Gray Orc Legion was blocking his side's main defensive line. Actually, they couldn't block it long ago, and it wasn't completely breached because the Wolf Cavalry in the Southern War Zone gave Duoyin and the Northern Territory a very strong deterrent.
This was cavalry. Duoyin and the Northern Territory couldn't set up defensive lines at every inch of the border. Cavalry charging into the enemy's territory, the destructive power could be imagined. What made the enemy even more uncomfortable was that they simply couldn't catch up with the Wolf Cavalry.
His side had such heavy losses this morning because of the all-out attack by the Dwarf race and the Barbarian troops. They certainly did so under pressure from Duoyin and the Northern Territory.
Duoyin and the Northern Territory broke off relations, but they wouldn't allow the Chaos Legion to sit and reap the benefits. Therefore, they forced the Dwarf and Barbarian parties to launch an all-out attack on the Chaos Legion's main defensive line.
After a round of all-out attack, the Dwarf, Barbarian, and the Lizard race, which had been playing soy sauce all along, all withdrew from the alliance. The reason they didn't breach his side's main defensive line was that the 610,000 Wolf Cavalry were still in the Southern War Zone. Who dared to let this Wolf Cavalry Legion become an isolated army? Neither Duoyin nor the Northern Territory dared.
Under this premise, the wooing of Duoyin and the Northern Territory was very intriguing. Chimney Mountain of the Chaos Legion had already been reduced to a medium-sized force similar to the three parties—the Dwarf, Barbarian, and Lizard race—and wouldn't be able to turn over for many years.
The Chaos Legion's big daddy, the Wolf Cavalry Legion, was what Duoyin and the Northern Territory feared, so both sides launched wooing.
Su Xiao didn't prepare to refuse this kind of wooing. The reason was that if he didn't participate in this chaotic battle, those two sides would likely deal with him first and destroy the four great cities near his side's Chimney Mountain. Once his side's population dropped to a certain level, Su Xiao's main quest would fail.
Under this premise, Su Xiao had to beat the Elf race down first. Otherwise, with the Elf race in the middle to contain them, Duoyin and the Northern Territory might confront each other for several months, and Su Xiao didn't have that much time to wait.
The more chaotic it was, the more opportunities Su Xiao had to complete his plan. Duoyin and the Northern Territory falling out was good news for him.
Not only that, specifically which side to cooperate with temporarily, Su Xiao prepared to hang them first. Whichever side brought out more benefits, he would temporarily cooperate with that side. There was one thing he could be sure of: whether Duoyin won or the Northern Territory won, the winner would be his enemy.
"I will consider this matter carefully and give you an answer tomorrow morning."
"Obey your will."
"Of course, no problem."
Ice-Born Simon and Diplomat Difuton spoke one after another. The two looked at each other again. If gazes could kill, the two would have already perished together, not even slag left.
At this time, both knew clearly in their hearts that they had to rush back to see their King and Overlord, and convey today's negotiation content. Next time they came, it would depend on who brought out more sincerity.
Not only that, the two were also very satisfied with the time Su Xiao agreed upon. Negotiating again tomorrow morning meant the Wolf Cavalry Legion didn't prepare to attack the Aier Great Forest. It was only one day; how could they capture the Aier Great Forest?
Thinking of these, both walked toward the outside of the room and finally left the New Moon Fortress one after another.
Su Xiao stood on the city wall, watching the two envoys who had already walked far away. Not attacking the Aier Great Forest? Of course impossible. He didn't have a few months to wait.
The Demon Flame Dragon Batos flew up from inside the fortress, Su Xiao leaped onto the dragon's back, the World Severing Thread pulled, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang also came up.
"All troops, set off."
"Kill!"
500,000 Wolf Cavalry roared, led by Orc Hero Worpol, and marched toward the Aier Great Forest in a mighty manner. Ten thousand horses galloped, smoke and dust rolling.
At the same time, inside the Elf Palace in Ailanyier City of the Aier Great Forest.
The Elf Queen took a light sip of the black tea in her cup. This was sent from Duoyin. The envoy had just left not long ago, bringing a piece of good news: Duoyin and the Northern Territory were about to go to war. Not only that, those two sides also sent people to woo the Wolf Cavalry Legion.
In the Elf Queen's view, as long as the War Demon still had a little bit of rationality, he wouldn't attack the Aier Great Forest again.
Once the Elf race was defeated, Duoyin and the Northern Territory would have no more scruples and would launch a large-scale all-out war. By then, the Wolf Cavalry Legion would face a choice. This kind of thing, of course, was to drag it out as long as possible.
Outside the window, the sun was bright, and the birds were chirping. The black tea in the cup had a mellow taste. The Elf Queen leaned back in her chair, preparing to take a nap for a while.
"Queen, urgent battle report!"
An Elf warrior rushed into the Elf Palace quickly and knelt on one knee.
"Speak."
The Elf Queen put down the black tea cup in her hand. This black tea suddenly wasn't mellow anymore.
"The War Demon is leading 500,000 Wolf Cavalry to the Aier Great Forest!"
"Hmm, go down."
The Elf Queen's expression was still gentle, but if one observed carefully, one would find that her cheeks were trembling imperceptibly. ===== CHAPTER 2754 =====
