The Orc leader stood surrounded by the weapons of the Phantoms. His brain was blank for a mont. Never in his wildest imagination did he ever imagine himself being surrounded and an inch away from death when it ca to battle.
He recalled how this outlander challenged him and his forces, how they slaughtered his troops as if they were chickens in a pen. The current scene gave him shivers to the core of his soul. He was scared, not for himself but for his people. he asked in a low voice, "Do you really intend to kill my people even after killing ?"
You Xi Wang replied in a calm voice, "Killing you is easy, but your people will rember this mont. They will gather forces and endure this pain and humiliation. later on, they will co and raze the Elf clan to the ground. I cannot let that happen. Only you can control the heart of your people. As for your fallen comrades, I offer my heartiest condolences. May they rest in peace, they were brave warriors."
His words were sincere. The Orc leader sighed, he said, "I surrender." with that said, he dropped the war hamr in his hand on the ground.
The surrounding orcs all saw this, their bodies trembled and after a few seconds they all also dropped their weapons. Throughout the battlefield on the sound of tal clanking on the ground echoed.
You Xi Wang nodded to his friends and they all took back their weapons. The Orc leader said, "Outlander, what is your na?"
The boy replied, "You Xi Wang, what is yours?" He also extended his hand to the Orc leader with this sentence.
The Orc Leader was confused for a second. Neo spoke up from the side, "You have the heart of a leader. For the sake of your people, you overlooked your pride and dignity. We extend a hand of friendship to you and your people." his voice was loud and it echoed throughout the battlefield.
Ilex and the elves were surprised at this. Sensing their emotions Lily said, "Xixi wants to eradicate the problem from the roots. No wars will happen in the future. You can relax and arrange for a formal eting." her words woke up the rest.
Lena asked You Zhichi, "Captian, who are these two kids?"
The Celestial Maiden replied with a smile, "Disciples of my brother. Also, the golden hair one is my adoptive sister while the one who spoke is my niece. They are smarter than so of the people here." she revealed a strong feeling of pride when she said this.
The You family people were fine but the rest were just surprised to see such genius children. You have to know that they also made a grade five barrier around. Celestia said, "It would be nice if you can have so tents erected right here. Ask all your advisors to co over for the eting but make sure they carry no weapons, lest the Orcs find you guys not trusting them enough and makes my big brother's effort go in vain."
The two kids were bossing around the queen of Elves, yet the other party did not dare to counter. The reason was that If You Xi Wang found them too overbearing, he might slay the elves. They were all scared by his earlier display. Ilex commanded her troops to erect so tents as soon as possible.
You Xi Wang, on the other hand, was busy talking to the Orc leader. He asked, "Wars are fought for reasons. What is your reason to wage a war on Elves? Chief Djal."
The Orcs followed a tribe system. Djal was the chief of the united Orc alliance army. He was the stronger among the tribe chiefs. He replied, "We orcs live in a volcanic region. It is barely able to feed us, but in winters the situation becos worse. So tribes even resorted to cannibalism. So we decided to move. The constant movent led us to unify the Orc tribes. Yet the piece of land we have cannot support a large number of our people.
So the alliance agreed to wage war on the closest settlent to save the imminent threat of hunger. The closest were these elves." He explained how the children were left for the females to nurture a few miles away.
You Xi Wang nodded and said, "How about you set up a trading treaty with the Elves?"
The Orc leader was stunned. His mind did not register what You Xi Wang just said. Fenny sighed and said, "You Orcs are good at using strength for a lot of things. You can work with Elves. Do the things they cannot and they can provide you with food and shelter in return. Your children will grow with sufficient food and resources. Think about it."
Djal fell into thought and then he said, "I would like to discuss this with the fellow chiefs."
The phantoms nodded and told them to co to the tents if they agree with this suggestion. After that, they walked back to the people and entered sighed. Allan said, "Okay, now we can have so supplents. This battle was too chaotic and strenuous."
You Xi wang took this mont to explain the things to the rookies. The crowd sat down on the ground as the boy started to teach them. Fenny, Yuki, Neo, and Allan all contributed to the lecture. Ilex was listening on the side she was surprised by the way they taught the crowd. She finally understood that how wrong she was.
Her impression of the crowd was similar to that of Djal. She thought that these people were all as strong as these five if not more. Only now did she realize that the rest were rookies. Just as the lecture finished, Djal walked over with five Orcs.
Orcs had a tall and sturdy body. If not for the color of their skin and a single horn protruding from their forehead. They might not look any different from human beings.
Djal took the lead and said, "You Xi Wang, we agree to your suggestion but the elves would have to swear in the na of their deity. We will do the sa to make sure that this arrangent is followed on both sides."
You Xi Wang nodded and said, "Very Well. Your majesty Ilex. Discuss this with your counciln first. We will wait outside."
Ilex nodded and left to discuss with her people. Djal then waited with You Xi Wang. Suddenly, Celestia walked over with Lily. She asked You Xi Wang, "Big brother, have so tea."
You Xi Wang crouched down in front of them and asked, "Where did you two fairies found tea?"
Lily smiled and said, "Sister Gena gave us a flask. She asked us to share it with you. She is very nice, Xixi."
The boy asked, "Is she?" he raised his head to locate Gena. He found her talking to Yuki and she had a blush on her face.
He was about to go over when the system said, [Master, Orcs have a good body training thod. You should ask them if you have a chance.]
You Xi Wang turned his head to look at Djal and the others. He took the flask and the cups from Celestia and Lily. Then he poured them all a cup. He said, "This tea is my respect to you brave warriors."
The Orcs had recognised his strength, they chugged on the tea in one gulp. After that, Djal took out a gourd and handed it to You Xi Wang with both hands. he said, "We also offer you a brew of our tribe. It is a bit strong, but if you do not dislike this please partake."
You Xi Wang smiled and accepted the gourd bottle. He drank the brew and felt that it's taste was similar to Moutai. Ilex ca out of the tent and she started talking with Djal. The two people bowed to each other. The leaders took an oath in the na of their deities. Followed by the citizens.
Soon the atmosphere began to change the people all started to feast together and the Orcs started to dance around small bonfires. The dance was to send off their comrades who fell to death in the battle today. You Xi Wang and the rest sat down and prayed for the deceased.
Celestia and Lily recorded the ceremony with there caras. They did not speak but they could feel the dread of war. When they returned to You Xi Wang he told them, "Know how to use a weapon, but also know what to use it for. While you protect yourself and soone close to you with a weapon in your hand, it might hurt soone who is close to soone else. To use a weapon, you need not only strong arms but also a strong heart.
Those who passed away today, they all were n and won with strong heart and strong arms. So, strengthen your hearts as well as you grow up. Okay?"
The two kids snuggled in his arms as they nodded. You Xi Wang was sitting on the ground while You Zhichi sat on a chair behind him. The rest of the humans were also sitting or standing around them.
The war ca to an end with one battle and countless deaths.
