Being bred by the worm mother to breed offspring?

"Well... If you want to talk about cooperation, of course there is no problem, but Lord Randall must promise us a few things."

…………

One hundred and seven: the first diplomacy

"There's nothing wrong with that, but...at least what good can serving as an idler do us?"

"The benefits... are definitely benefits that you can't imagine."

Cecilia has only one request for us. When we fight the kingdom, we cannot force them to send troops to aid.Of course, this is also acceptable. After all, Cecilia's refuge is just a temptation. Although on the surface they have severed contact with the kingdom, they are actually choosing to see who is the stronger side.

I can understand this, and it's nothing compared to what we ask of them.

First: Cecilia must strictly follow the tax system implemented by Meka Town.And [-]% of Cecilia's annual tax revenue must be handed over to Apocalypse City.

Second: Cecilia can retain the original ruling class, but someone from Apocalypse City must intervene, or half-human, or human. In short, Apocalypse City must know about Cecilia's affairs management.

Third: Cecilia must not innocently do things that are unfavorable to civilians for any reason. Civilians are the grassroots of society. They must realize this. The people in Tianqi City will supervise them. If they find out, they will stop all assistance provided. In addition, the items provided by Apocalypse City must not be disclosed to any other place.

Fourth, of course, is also the most important point in my opinion. Cecilia must be responsible for promoting the benefits of half-humans, and everyone must realize that half-humans are not what they imagined, and people from Apocalypse City will take the lead , Cecilia needs to cooperate, and most importantly... the people in Apocalypse City must accept the existence of half-humans.

How to do it, I am too lazy to think about it. In short, let some half-people pass by, and then let Gude and the others think of a way.

Except for the tax issue Randall argued with us for a while, the rest is fine. Randall thinks that the original [-]% tax rate is already too much, and our new tax system has even reduced the overall tax revenue , then he has no money to earn.Of course, it is impossible for us to make concessions, so appropriate intimidation at this time has become a very good catalyst. Out of consideration for life safety, Randall finally listened to our suggestion very aggrieved.

What’s left is some inconsequential discussions, and the final result of the discussion will soon come to fruition. Like Meika, we provide Randall’s city with some ultra-technical things, which are all daily necessities. The kind that is convenient for life, the car is the same as Maika, which provides a special venue for the old drivers of Tianqi City to work there.Although Randall is most concerned about our weapons, but when it comes to armed forces...

"My lord, you are not being kind. We have risked a lot to come to you to cooperate. If the kingdom finds out... Although the kingdom will know soon, but when the time comes, the king will send some knights over. It is something our small city can resist..."

Although Randall's snot and tears are a bit exaggerated, this is indeed a situation that has to be considered.Just as they don't fully trust us, we can't trust them unreservedly. It is obviously an incorrect decision to provide them with weapons.

"Well... before the kingdom comes, we will go there to help you."

"It's true to say so, but how can you guarantee that you will arrive on time every time, my lord? If anyone doesn't pay attention, then I...then Cecilia is doomed...You know, my lord, The people in the Kingdom will definitely not let those civilians go. You care about them so much, so you can’t let them suffer from this unreasonable disaster, right? If you want to die, give me some of your magic tools, can’t we persist until you arrive? ..."

After all, Randall is still an old fritter. There is no basis for rebuttal to these words. Yes, it is impossible for me to watch those civilians get hurt.

But I'm not alone here.

"Then divide the territory." Perhaps seeing my difficulties, Li Susi always rescued me at critical moments.

"Divide the territory?"

Not only me, but even Randall didn't understand what this meant.

"Half-humans are always used to dividing their territory, assigning Cecilia to a certain half-human tribe in name, and then let them be responsible for stationing there."

When Lissus finished speaking, I understood what she meant. Just like a dog marks its territory by urinating, it will regard the place where the dog urinates as its own territory. When there are outsiders When species invade, they will feel threatened and fight back... Although everyone is not a dog, and this example is a bit heavy-handed, it is very vivid.What Li Susi wanted to say was to divide the half-humans into several areas, and then let them be responsible for guarding this area.

In this way, even if someone from the kingdom comes, half people will resist first, and notify other people to come to support as soon as possible.Not only does this not need to hand over the weapons, it even satisfies these half-humans.

I haven't noticed this before. It's impossible for the kingdom not to fight back. It's just a matter of time. Will the queen kingdom go on the rampage like a fool?No, Maika... Counting Cecilia, we only have the backside surrounded by mountains and it is impossible for them to fight over. What about the remaining three sides?It is impossible for us to put all the troops together and wait for the kingdom to take over in one pot, so the allocation of half people just solves this problem. Who is in charge of that area, the efficiency is improved, and it can also solve the threat of multiple enemies.

Sometimes humans really think a lot, and Lissus's even a bit barbaric and primitive method can always be effective at this time.

"Hey, but then we are not half-human, how is this possible..."

"Master Randall, I think you may have misunderstood something." With Lissus at the beginning, the rest is easy to say, "We don't divide a certain place into different half-humans, not to treat Cecilia as It is a half-human land, we are not colonists, and half-humans are not interested in human cities, we just need some open space and woods on the periphery."

"Then...then this..."

Having said all that, Randall didn't know what to say. Maybe he didn't expect half-humans to come up with such a weird idea, but that's right, human thinking is different from half-humans after all.

And me, now I just want to hold Lissus and kiss her hard.

"Does Lord Randall have any objections to such a decision?"

"..."

Randall smiled helplessly, with a face of resignation.

The first diplomacy is always a bit tortuous, but it is undeniable that today is the day when Apocalypse City got its first ally, although it is an underground ally...

…………

One Hundred and Eight: Starry Sky

Randall left, and returned to Cecilia with a relatively satisfactory result. Goode and some other people and half-people left with him. After all, Cecilia is our number one It is impossible not to pay attention to a human city with successful diplomacy.

But just in case, I let Sasha turn into a human and leave with Goode. If there is any emergency, they would never think that Sasha would take them to escape from the ground.

Of course, the people in Meika must have known about this, but they didn't talk about it. After all, they have been used to this kind of thing for more than half a month. Good life, who cares about anything else?

The development of Apocalypse City is in full swing. After the addition of the large economic market of Mecca, all commodities are produced at a very fast speed, but there is always a time when it is saturated, but at this time Cecilia and the surrounding small villages appeared again. .

We suddenly have a sense that the kingdom is nothing more than that.But we won't be really stupid enough to think that we have the capital to fight against the kingdom.

Cecilia is like igniting a piece of methane... Hiss, to put it another way, Cecilia's appearance is like igniting gasoline sparks, making many surrounding cities show a curious attitude towards Apocalypse City.What is shown is the negotiation of various sent envoys. Although it is not about belonging, there are still small-scale cooperation.

This has to lament the benefits brought by the kingdom’s system. Every major city has its own city lord. The city lords who have been nurtured for too long are here, and after we agreed to provide security, these people's attitudes towards Tianqi City are much more ambiguous.

But there are plenty of people who seem to uphold justice.In some cities, their loyalty to the kingdom has exceeded my imagination. It cannot be said that they are all fools. People have different beliefs. Even if what you believe in is wrong, but since it has risen to the level of belief, Who cares if it's right or wrong?I just sigh a little, because these people were beaten to pieces after declaring war on us for the so-called kingdom.

Killing has never been the best way to prevent wind criticism, but it is the way that can work in the shortest time. After the leaders and knights of these cities were killed by us, we still let us take over these cities.

Of course, all this has increased the understanding of us in this world.

"It turns out that half-humans don't eat people, and it's okay to get along with them."

Words like this spread across the mainland, and at the same time, news of me was also spreading along with it.

"The commander of Apocalypse City called Xianren is almost the same as the man who saved the half-human thousands of years ago..."

When I heard this, although it meant that the prestige of Apocalypse City was getting stronger and stronger, I was still a little unhappy, because no matter what, I am not that man, I am me, how can I treat me as someone else? Will be happy?

Lissus, who is always with me, noticed this. Instead of comforting me with words, Lissus always likes to let me lie on her tail to relax.

Lying on the tail of Lissus on an early summer night, looking at the starry sky is really special, and I don’t worry about the problem of mosquitoes at all, because as worms, the mucus on the surface of their bodies has a very good insect repellent effect .

"Hey... If only I could look at the stars every day."

"Well, every day is okay?"

Li Susi responded to my emotion very simply. After getting used to her simplicity, she didn't feel that there was anything to complain about.

"Pfft, when I said starlight, I didn't just lie here and look at it with my eyes. It meant that everyone was no longer worried about war, no one would take the initiative to bully anyone, and there was no need to worry about safety every day."

"Hmm... that will be soon, Xian Ren will soon win the kingdom."
