Chapter 770: Chapter 522, Talking about Peace_3
The questioning tone instantly tensed up the atmosphere inside the tent.
The three of them initially thought they were here for negotiations, but they seemed to be here to blame instead.
Seeing the raging dwarfs, Dong Jiayue couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Dwarfs attacking the transmigrators’ cities, stealing winter supplies, enslaving transmigrants, do you guys think you’ve been very discreet, and no one else knows?”
The grey-bearded dwarf frowned.
He didn’t expect her to bring up this issue. At first, they didn’t realize that the war between the Undead and the dwarfs was led by the transmigrants.
Seeing that the grey-beard dwarf didn’t speak, the red-beard dwarf behind him stepped in to speak, “What transmigrant cities? We’ve no idea. Even if there’s a misunderstanding between us, it can be peacefully resolved. Aren’t you afraid of being surrounded and attacked by all living forces by colluding with the Undead?”
Well, the conversation is turning towards the Undead again.
Dong Jiayue frowned as well. She didn’t want to argue with them about who’s right or wrong in this matter.
If they don’t attack the dwarfs, the dwarfs would march eastward and capture the cities of the transmigrants one by one.

Therefore, she naturally has no mental burden.
As for the Undead troops.
They are a secret faction. Extremely handy. They don’t need to eat or sleep, and they don’t worry about morale.
You guys, what’s the use of saying all these?
Without any hesitation, Dong Jiayue stated, “If you three are here to discuss who is right or wrong, then please go back and wait for your death. My army will take over Gray Iron City.”
“You…!”
The three of them stood up in anger at her words.
But they sat back down, looking at the coldness in Dong Jiayue’s eyes.
Their task here was not complete, and they’re not leaving just yet.
Taking a deep breath, the grey-bearded dwarf said, “I’m presenting King Rune’s proposal for a truce.”
Everything said before merely serves as a build-up to discussing this truce.
But Dong Jiayue and the other transmigrants didn’t feel much affinity with such matters.
Who’s right or wrong doesn’t matter, all that matters is who wins the fight.
“Then speak quickly about your proposal,” Dong Jiayue urged.
After glancing at his two companions behind him, the grey-bearded dwarf then spoke, “This war is unnecessary for both of us. The loss of resources and troops will make it harder for us to survive the winter.”
As if he’s a different person, the tone of the grey-bearded dwarf suddenly softened.
“No, my soldiers don’t need to eat or drink. It’s the perfect time for war in winter.” Dong Jiayue replied.
Um, ….
The grey-bearded dwarf paused, “Even if the Undead don’t need food, you and your human followers still need it. The loss of troops could create an opportunity for other forces, potentially endangering your interests.”
“No, I have a conversion field for the Undead. The loss of troops pretty much equals the transformation of corpses.” Dong Jiayue replied.
Um, ….
Still thinking, the grey-bearded dwarf continued, “Even if you’re not worried about food or troop strength, the cost of war is still substantial. The financial burden of a war can ruin a prosperous country, you should consider it.”
“No, as a transmigrator, I don’t have any savings. Capturing your city, however, has given me a lot of good stuff,” Dong Jiayue continued.
Damn it!
F***ing…
The three dwarfs cursed in their hearts.
So, you just came to fight us barehanded, unafraid because you have nothing to lose?
Yet, she’s pushed us to this state.
We’ve been pressed to the gates of Gray Iron City.
Looking at the three dwarfs’ faces, which looked like they’d swallowed shit, Dong Jiayue continued, “Just get to the point. What did Rune tell you to say? Just say it.”
