Chapter 185 The Decision of the Shandians
Seeing that the chief and Thors did not question each other, the other Shandia warriors also shut their mouths.
After thinking calmly for a while, the chief said in a somewhat anxious tone:
"Terms! What will it cost the Shandians to help us retake Arpaiado?"
"Haha, that's right. I like talking to smart people. I'll just say it straight."
"I can help you recapture Arpaiado and allow you to return to your homeland. As a reward, I need to take away Shandora's gold."
The chief nodded. They knew that gold was a very precious treasure in Qinghai.
"But let me make this clear first. I won't help you kill the Sky Islanders. I'll just defeat them and drive them out of Arpaiado temporarily. So whether it's war or peace, and how the relationship between the two sides should be, you need to decide for yourselves. My help is limited to this. After we leave, even if you choose to continue the war, it won't be my business if you are wiped out in the end because you can't resist the counterattack of the Sky Islanders. But you only have this one chance, so you have to think carefully."
Everyone present had different expressions, and those with simpler minds were already showing excitement.
Gel ignored the other party's reaction and continued:
"By the way, let me remind you that, whether you agree or not, we can use our own strength to get what we want, and no one can stop us!"
"So no matter what choice you make, I will go to Shandora and take the gold. I just think that I should try my best not to steal or rob as long as the conditions allow. I recognize that the gold on the island belongs to your Shandia clan, so I chose to negotiate this deal with you, just to be able to take what I want with peace of mind. But if the situation is unavoidable, I am not a person who cares about this false reputation. I can also do whatever it takes to achieve my goal!"
"Sa, tell me your decision."
Gel's earth-shattering words shocked everyone. His powerful aura and unquestionable tone made people forget to discuss whether he was bragging or not.
"This is too sudden. Please let me think about it. Please let me consider it."
The fate of the entire Shandia tribe suddenly came to a crossroads because of the appearance of this man in front of him. The chief felt as if something heavy had suddenly pressed on his shoulders, making him both panic-stricken and excited. He was so excited that he even stuttered when he spoke.
"Chief! I think we should gather all the warriors in the tribe together to discuss and listen to everyone's opinions first."
Seeing that the chief was in a dilemma, Thors reminded him in time.
Negotiate?
what does this mean?
Upon hearing this, the dozen or so Shandia warriors standing behind began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
If it were any other time, they would have jumped out and scolded the other party for bragging, but this time not only did the chief and Thors believe it, they were also impressed by Gir's aura.
I began to imagine that if I agreed, my ancestors' wish of returning to their homeland and lighting the lamp of Shandora would be realized immediately?
How to not go crazy?
"Yes, yes, yes. Go and notify everyone to meet outside the central tent!"
The chief also came to his senses after being reminded by Thors, and gave instructions to the soldiers in the tent.
"Yes!"
The Shandian warriors were in an excited state. They responded and ran out in a hurry. Soon, all the Shandians came upon hearing the news and gathered outside the tent. Except for more than one hundred warriors, the rest were people of all ages, only about four or five hundred people in total, but almost all the Shandians were present.
It can be seen that hundreds of years of war have already made this nation precarious and it may be completely submerged in the long river of history at any time.
When the gray-haired old men heard that they were going to discuss the matter of taking back Arpaiado, they became more excited than each other.
So, when the chief walked out of the tent with a cane and told everyone what had happened.
Ger, who was inside the tent, could already hear the thunderous shouts outside.
A discussion meeting directly turned into a swearing-in ceremony. There was not a single Shandian who did not raise his hands in agreement, unless he had been disabled in the war and had no hands to raise.
The Shandians had been wishing for hundreds of years, and they had sacrificed so much blood and lives for it, so why would they care about sacrificing the stones used for decoration? As for the possibility of a counterattack from the Sky Islanders, no one cared. If they couldn't resist, they would die on the battlefield. It was a return to their roots to die in their hometown, which was better than hiding all their lives, living like a smelly rat in a sewer.
You should know that before Ganfor, the new god of Sky Island, came to power, all the gods of Sky Island would order the God's Guard to search for and exterminate the Shandians. After all, the two sides were mortal enemies, and the rulers of Sky Island certainly did not want to watch the enemy grow stronger. So in order not to expose their whereabouts, the Shandians had to change their residence every now and then, and their life was very hard.
And after Ganfor became the Queen of Sky Island, as long as the Shandians did not attack Arpaiado, the Sky Islanders would not take the initiative to encircle and suppress them. Although the relationship between the two sides has eased in recent years, they will never give up on taking back Arpaiado.
...
"Ah, is this the feeling of returning to the Novice Village after reaching the maximum level? I don't feel any sense of anticipation at all."
Sitting on Weibull's shoulders, Geer looked distressed in a very Versailles way.
Overhead, Moria and Senior were flapping their wings and soaring in the sky. Behind them, Thors and the Chieftain brought dozens of Shandia warriors, using their jet shoes, surfboards and all kinds of strange tools to advance across the sea of clouds, each showing their own magical powers.
The Shandians all looked up at the two figures in the sky with envy.
The people who really had wings were running with their legs, while the people without wings were flying in the air. The more the Shandia warriors watched, the more ashamed they felt. They wanted to cut off the wings on their backs and make soup.
quickly
A green island covered with towering trees appeared in front of everyone.
When the Shandians saw the island, their eyes were all burning, and they all tried hard to restrain themselves. If they hadn't known that they were going to invade and fight, they would have probably cried out long ago.
It stands to reason that high oxygen levels would cause organisms to evolve toward larger sizes, but the thin oxygen on this sky island can cause altitude sickness, yet the organisms that have washed up on Gaya Island have all grown gigantic.
Do not know do not know.
Gel shook his head and decided to leave such brain-teasing questions to scientists.
There are only five or six hundred people in Shandia in total. From the chief, he learned that there are not many people in Sky Island either, about three or four thousand. The guards guarding Arpaiado are about three hundred people. Gel is a little helpless. For such a big island, the total number of people on both sides is less than 5. If they are scattered, they may not meet each other for a week. This land does not seem to be a scarce resource. However, the people of Shandia and the residents of Sky Island have been fighting for land and are bleeding.
Among these, the ruler of Sky Island who launched the war of aggression without saying a word in the beginning should bear the main responsibility. Not only did he occupy the other party's homeland and drive away the Shandian people, but the key point is that he did not seem to be seeking benefits for the people of Sky Island. After occupying Arpaiado, he prohibited ordinary residents of Sky Island from entering in the name of the holy land. All ordinary people of Sky Island still live on Angel Island composed of island clouds. The entire Arpaiado can be said to be like God's private residence and back garden.
This is a typical case of abusing power for personal gain, which is really too much.
