Chapter 926: Chapter 586, Dreamy Forest’s Call for Help_2
But in recent years, the Fairy Clan had been focusing solely on development, while the Orcs engaged in relentless conquest, rapidly evolving through their selection.
Their strength had gradually surpassed that of the Fairy Clan.
Previously, the Fairy Clan had secured the Dreamy Forest, making it difficult for the Orcs to break through.
But now, wanting to cultivate land at the border had given the Orcs an opportunity.
Several days of continuous attacks had inflicted heavy losses on the Fairies.
If this continued, the already scarce population of the Fairy Clan might be entirely depleted.
...
After much contemplation, Shinisara finally spoke again.
“You continue to watch out for the Orc movements, and wait for my final message.”
“Yes, Chief,” nodded a group of generals.
After Shinisara walked out of the room, she closed her eyes.
Her body gradually turned into an oak tree, taking root and dispersing leaves.
…
Night fell.
Fang Hao was dealing with the messages from Dong Jiayue and Li Rong.
He planned to take a bath in the hot springs to rest.
He had just gotten halfway through undressing when Doujin’s voice came from outside the door.
Telling him that the Fairy Clan’s chief ‘Shinisara’ was requesting to pass through the Teleportation Array.
Fang Hao, who was already halfway out of his pants, frowned.
Since the two sides had reached a farming agreement, there had seemed to be no further contact.
Coming to his place in the middle of the night, even if you are a treeperson, but also a female figure, it seemed somewhat inappropriate.
He pulled his pants back on and addressed Doujin through the door, “Take her to the sitting room!”
“Yes, my Lord.”
Inside the sitting room.
Soon, Doujin walked in with ‘Shinisara’.
“Lord Fang Hao,” Shinisara said respectfully.
This attitude made Fang Hao even more certain that she had come for a reason.
Fang Hao also smiled, “Chief Shinisara, please have a seat.”
She sat down and without any small talk, Shinisara directly said, “Regarding the grain contract we signed with you before, some special circumstances have arisen.”
“Oh? Are you facing any difficulties?” Fang Hao asked curiously.
Next, Shinisara recounted the battles between the Dreamy Forest and the Orcs to Fang Hao.
The content was simple, summarizing the situation as, after such a long time, the land that had been cleared.
The grain hadn’t even been planted yet.
The lack of progress also made Fang Hao’s expression turn unpleasant.
When the two sides cooperated initially, the Fairy Clan did not describe it this way.
Since grain represents life, now that you say it might not be possible to plant it, Fang Hao couldn’t accept it.
“Is the Fairy Clan always this inadequate in handling matters?”
Shinisara had no answer.
Taking a deep breath, Fang Hao continued, “So, with this visit, Chief Shinisara, do you intend to dissolve our agreement?”
It hadn’t been long, and dissolving the agreement would still give Fang Hao time to find another way to grow crops.
After much thought, Shinisara stood up and bowed slightly.
She began, “This visit is to ask for Lord Fang Hao’s help for the Fairy Clan. The Fairy Clan will not forget this kindness.”
Fang Hao frowned, touching his chin, “Are you asking me to fight the Orcs for you?”
Shinisara nodded, “If it’s possible.”
“What would I gain? Besides the friendship of the Fairy Clan.”
“Grain planting, free for the next ten years.” Clearly, Shinisara had thought through her countermeasures before coming.
Fang Hao pondered for a moment while frowning.
He then said, “I have a better suggestion that you might consider.”
“Oh? What is your suggestion?”
“The reason why the Dreamy Forest has ended up in its current situation is the lack of a strong backing. Even if I help you repel the Orcs this time, what about the second or the third time? The Orcs’ breeding pace could definitely wear down the Fairy Clan,” Fang Hao analyzed the dilemma of the Fairy Clan without offering a direct suggestion.
The Fairy Clan once had an influential power.
This could be seen from their status at Station 032.
But the Fairy Clan clearly lacked planning skills, or perhaps ‘Shinisara’ as a leader was not good at planning.
As a result, the Fairy Clan had been living off their past reserves, gradually weakening.
Shinisara, when a mass of transmigrators appeared, realized the errors in her thinking.
Developing in isolation without interacting with the outside world clearly became their hindrance.
“So, Lord Fang Hao, what do you suggest?” Shinisara continued.
Fang Hao flashed a smile, “Dreamy Forest needs a powerful backer, like me.”
“You want to swallow us up?” Shinisara expressed surprise.
“I don’t mean to hide it from you, ‘Shinisara’ leader, but the Blood Mountains, Cold Wind Mountains, Eight Peaks Mountain, Crescent Heights, and even human cities, and the Orc’s Tasgo City, all are parts of my territory.”
Fang Hao sipped his tea and continued, “Dreamy Forest and Tasgo City are so close to each other. Once I consider expanding my territory, what will happen to Dreamy Forest? Make way? Or should we take a detour!”
Fang Hao spoke rather diplomatically.
The Dreamy Forest was sandwiched in the middle of the Orc territory.
It was very difficult to say they didn’t want to clash with the Orcs.
Now Fang Hao wanted to recruit her into his territory, in case one day, strategic needs would truly lead to conflict with the outside world.
Who would feel secure having Dreamy Forest at their rear, acting as a mere spectator?
Possibly, the first to be attacked would be Dreamy Forest, before expanding further onwards.
Shinisara showed a humanized surprise; she only knew that Fang Hao’s territory had expanded to human cities and Tasgo City.
She hadn’t expected that lands of Trolls, Dwarfs, and even the Blood Clan had long since become part of Fang Hao’s territory.
Shinisara didn’t respond immediately but closed her eyes, her body beginning to root and sprout.
Fang Hao knew this meant her consciousness was returning to the Dreamy Forest to discuss this matter.
He wasn’t in a hurry and quietly waited on the side.
After a short while, Shinisara reopened her eyes.
“Having gained Dreamy Forest, how would you arrange things?” Shinisara looked straight into his eyes, her tone serious.
Fang Hao opened the map in the Book of Lords and began, “Dreamy Forest will still be governed by you. As far as I can see now, I plan to aid the territory’s agriculture. The area previously occupied by Ice Bat Monkeys—I can allocate it to you.”
On the map, the area once occupied by Ice Bat Monkeys was a zone between the two territories.
With the Ice Bat Monkeys cleared out, the area had become vacant.
Joining the two territories, Fang Hao planned to give the land to the Fairies for farming.
“What about the Orc side? How would you arrange that?” Shinisara continued to inquire.
Indeed, up until now, it was clear the Fairy Clan was interested.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked so many questions repeatedly.
As the two conversed,
the room’s door behind them opened, and several women who had been soaking in the hot springs in the courtyard entered, giggling and chatting.
Each had tender skin, still dripping with water droplets.
Fang Hao glanced at them, then turned back and continued to ask, “Which Tribe of the Orcs is in conflict with you?”
“Furious Lion City.”
In the Orcs, any group bearing ‘City’ in its name, held considerable power.
Previously, Tasgo City was the ruler of that regional area, and all nearby tribes obeyed the City Lord’s commands.
Hearing ‘Shinisara’ mention the name Furious Lion City,
Anjia, who was about to go upstairs, stopped in her tracks.
She moved to the side and took a seat next to Fang Hao.
The Parrot Red General flew from somewhere and landed on Anjia’s shoulder.
Fang Hao ignored this and said, “If ‘Dreamy Forest’ becomes a subsidiary territory, I will have someone talk to Furious Lion City about this. If they are not planning to resolve it peacefully, I will arrange military forces.”
Having received the reply, Shinisara once again closed her eyes, her body rooting and sprouting.
Anjia beside him spoke, “What’s going on with Furious Lion City?”
“Furious Lion City is attacking Dreamy Forest, and the Fairy Clan is seeking our help. What? You know about Furious Lion City?” Fang Hao was curious.
Anjia fed dry fruits into the parrot’s mouth, speaking, “I used to come from Furious Lion City, I know a bit about that place.”
“Oh? Then we must handle this matter carefully.”
“No need, I was chased out from there. Having a grudge, let me go when we attack.”
Well now, old and new grievances both existed.
Shortly thereafter,
Shinisara opened her eyes again and said, “Alright, I agree to become your subsidiary force, and I hope you will keep your promises.”
Fang Hao showed a smile, “Of course, Dreamy Forest will only get better.”
“Let’s go, let’s resolve this tonight.”
“Okay!”
They called Demitrija over.
Along with the two of them, they followed ‘Shinisara’ to Dreamy Forest.
