Chapter 485: Chapter 416, Ironbeard-Bellerga (Seeking subscriptions, seeking recommendations.)_2
“Good, our lord also does not wish to initiate a war. We hope that this meeting can be concluded peacefully,” Dong Jiayue continued.
“Absolutely, absolutely.”
“Good, let them leave,” said Dong Jiayue.
The Undead troops made way.
Three dwarves slowly walked towards the camp.
Only after confirming that the undead army had no intention of attacking, the city gate cracked open slightly, allowing the three to enter.
Afterwards, the gate was shut again.
Until half an hour later.
The gate reopened, and the red-bearded dwarf came again, whispering, “Sir, our leader invites the two of you to come in for a discussion. I’m afraid… it’s only the two of you.”
Upon hearing this news, Dong Jiayue’s face turned cold.
This dwarf was actually too self-important, even at this point, he still couldn’t see the situation clearly.
“Miss Dong Jiayue, I think we should just kill them all, we have to go back before it gets dark,” Heavy Arrow suggested some action.
The division of responsibilities between the two was explicit.
Although Dong Jiayue could fight, she could only be considered a decently agile militiaman.
She had no way to match a hero.
For this occasion, she served as the negotiator and Heavy Arrow as the general.
Dong Jiayue looked at Red-beard Dwarf and continued, “In ten minutes if your dwarf leader doesn’t come out, I’ll launch an attack. It depends on him if he continues to be arrogant or wants to drag all of you into a burial with him.”
“Yes, okay,” the Red-beard Dwarf turned pale, turned around, and scurried back.
Indeed, in less than ten minutes, the city gate opened again.
A dwarf clad in heavy armor, wearing a bullhorn helmet and a grey-white beard, walked out.
Behind him, five strong-looking dwarves followed.
Walking to the front of the Undead ranks with large strides, his deep voice rang out, “Bellerga, welcomes friends of the Undead Clan.”
The Undead Army cleared a path.
And the dwarf walked into the middle of the formation.
Meanwhile, Dong Jiayue saw the other party’s name.
[Ironbeard-Bellerga (Purple Tier-4 Hero)]
Bellerga wore a gold and silver alternating horned helmet, and a dense, long, grey-white beard on his chin.
Like iron wires, it was braided into five slender twists.
“I am Bellerga, the leader of ‘Baggang Peak’ of Eight Peaks Mountain, what should I call you?” Bellerga’s tone was noticeably displeased, his suppressed anger reflecting in his words.
“Dong Jiayue, and this is General Heavy Arrow,” Dong Jiayue introduced in an indifferent manner.
Her calmness exuded the self-possession of a seasoned negotiator.
Bellerga curiously examined the strange alliance before him.
From the city wall, he had only seen a vast number of Undead below, but only after walking to the middle of the formation did he realize that he was dealing with a human.
The gathering of the Undead and living creatures piqued his curiosity about the origins of this army.
“So, Miss Dong Jiayue, what is the purpose of besieging my camp this time?” Bellerga continued.
“It’s nothing serious, our lord was passing by with the army and heard that the dwarves had set up camp here. He sent me to ask if you would meet him tomorrow,” Dong Jiayue replied calmly.
As Fang Hao predicted, the leader of this team was indeed a Dwarf Hero.
And a purple hero at that.
Although he was unsure of his skills or attributes, his basic attributes already placed him among the top-tier of heroes.
Bellerga was stunned, this was beyond his prediction.
They came all this way just to inform him to meet their lord tomorrow?
What did this mean?
“I don’t seem to be familiar with your lord, I wonder what he would like to discuss with me.” Bellerga probed further.
“Bellerga leader, our lord’s willingness to talk is a good thing for you. I think you also do not want both parties to use a more simplified way to deal with this matter,” Dong Jiayue darted a glance at him, adding a note of warning in her words.
Fang Hao had sent Dong Jiayue and Heavy Arrow for two considerations. If the other party was willing to talk, Fang Hao didn’t want to be the villain who attacked anyone in sight. But if they didn’t want to talk, the situation would be much simpler.
He wouldn’t allow a camp that could potentially observe his military movements to exist in his vicinity.
A Dwarf Hero and a Skeleton Dwarf Hero made no difference to him.
“You….” Bellerga’s face turned cold, his eyes filling with fury.
However, considering the situation at hand, Bellerga had no choice but to agree after a few whispered words with the dwarves who accompanied him, “Alright, I will visit your lord tomorrow.”
“Yes, this is exactly what we intended to see,” Dong Jiayue nodded.
Bellerga snorted coldly and turned to walk away.
Behind him continued the voice of Dong Jiayue, “By the way, don’t let your people out of the city at night. There are quite a few Undead warriors around here. They can’t distinguish friend or foe, it would be disastrous if there were casualties.”
Bellerga’s expression hardened even more, this comment was a warning not to try to escape.
This was unbearable.
Having been driven out from Eight Peaks Mountain, he couldn’t believe he once again had to face this humiliation here.
Bellerga left in large strides, returning to his camp, and the city gates were heavily shut again.
Dong Jiayue and Heavy Arrow turned directions, moving toward where they had set their camp.
…
The next morning came.
