Chapter 3485 Peace Talks
"Then, Mr. Set, the chieftain of the orcs, do you have any way to get the elders to join us in attacking Barbara?"
A thought struck Sidon, and he asked again, "For example, if we find evidence that Barbara is colluding with humans, then you'll lead us to deal with Barbara?"
"This kind of excuse works for ordinary people, and it's equally effective against orc experts as long as they don't have a powerful background."
Seth said helplessly, "The problem is that Barbara, like me, is a core member of the Orcish race with a very deep background. The elders will never accept this method."
Disregarding rules and arbitrarily bullying others is something used against those without connections.
"With people of influence, rules must be followed. If I rashly attack Barbara, the elders will not let it go easily, because if I can deal with Barbara this way, I can deal with them this way too."
"This is really troublesome."
The steel tree said unhappily. After all, it had only been born for a short time and knew little about these unspoken rules and social customs. All it knew was that power was everything, and with enough power, one could do whatever one wanted.
In fact, this statement is not wrong. Seth's problem is that he is not powerful enough. If he can easily suppress the elders, then all the rules are nothing to him.
Andrew is this type of person. No one has ever been able to restrain his forces because his own strength is greater than the entire force combined. Who can restrain him, and who dares to restrain him?
"We're still not strong enough."
Seth knew where his problem lay, and he said helplessly, "Let's negotiate with Barbara, get through this first, and then make plans later. We weren't prepared this time, but next time, Barbara won't be able to escape. The gap between the two sides is obvious."
"We need to find out where the scales on her hands came from."
Sithon cautioned, "If these are indeed scales of the Feathered Serpent God, then it means that a powerful deity exists in this small world. In that case, we might have to change our plans."
"You mean, this little world might have a God the Father? How is that possible? Even the complete Earth outside doesn't have a God the Father, how could this little world possibly have one?"
Seth asked incredulously, and Sithon replied, "Who told you that there is no Heavenly Father outside?"
Both the Mechanical Demon King and the Great Demon God are considered to be Heavenly Fathers, but their situations are somewhat special, and they restrain each other, so both are practically non-existent.
Even if a Heavenly Father God exists in this small world, He cannot truly manifest in the mortal realm. Just like the Feathered Serpent God, He can only use His power through His scales. As for whether other gods exist, that remains unknown.
Throughout American history, there have been quite a few deities. The bald eagle statue in your hand might even have some connection to a deity.
"It seems that the world is not as simple as I thought."
Seth cursed and didn't continue the discussion, because there were more important things to do now; the council of elders was arriving soon.
“Barbara, I think the scales on your hands must be something that can’t be exposed to the light of day, or that you have to pay a huge price to use them. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have chosen not to use them when you were competing with me for the position of clan leader.”
Seth said to Barbara, "This time, let's call it a draw. Let's stop the war, and then find an excuse to fool the elders and settle this matter."
Barbara sneered, "Why should I stop the war? Once the elders arrive, I'll tell everyone what you've done, and they won't let you off the hook."
Conversely, if I stop the war, you will still try to ambush me again next time. You only have four men, and your mobility is extremely high; a surprise attack is not easy for you.”
"First, as I said, your scales cannot be exposed to the light. I believe you do not want the elders to know about the existence of your scales."
Seth said, "Secondly, the elders will not help me, but that does not mean they will attack me. Because I am the chieftain, the stronger I am, the better it is for the orc race. They will not abandon me."
In the end, the elders could only ask me to promise that I would never lay a hand on you again and that it wouldn't affect my position; at most, I would suffer a small loss.
As for your concerns, they are easily resolved. Next, I will take action against the human race. You will be the vanguard. With our current strength, we are capable of annexing the entire human race and ensuring the orcs' glory lasts forever.
Seth didn't know Barbara's identity, nor did he know that Barbara and Kara were connected, which is why he said those things.
You see, a normal orc would be extremely excited to hear that they could conquer the human race, because that is the dream of all orcs. In Set's opinion, Barbara would definitely agree to keep this matter a secret, after all, the bigger picture is more important.
Barbara certainly didn't want to annex any humans. Just as she was about to make a sarcastic remark, Andrew's voice rang in her mind: "Promise Him, or your persona will crumble. Which orc doesn't want to destroy the human race?"
"That's true."
Barbara realized what was happening. She pretended to hesitate, and after a moment, she asked, "Seth, how can you guarantee you'll do what you say?"
"You fell for it after all. Hmph, once you get through this, in less than three days, you will become my puppet, and your scales will become my property."
Seth was secretly pleased with himself. He said, "From now on, I will not leave the Black Palace until you become the vanguard and go to war against the human race. How about it?"
The Black Palace is the power center of the orc race and also Seth's office. Not only are there many elders stationed there, but there are also a large number of guards. It is impossible for Seth to attack Barbara there.
As for why it's called the Black Palace, it's because it was a place before the apocalypse, a place of fierce confrontation.
Of course, with Sithon's abilities, it would be incredibly easy for Seth to leave the Black Palace without a trace; Seth was simply fooling Barbara.
Seeing that Barbara was somewhat tempted, Seth continued, "Barbara, if we continue to fight, we will only both be severely injured. In the end, we might end up being swallowed up by those humans."
"If you really value the big picture so much, you shouldn't have attacked me."
Barbara snorted and finally decided to make a truce with Seth. Then, both sides recalled their troops, and Barbara also canceled the illusion of Quetzalcoatl.
The phantom of Quetzalcoatl disappeared, and Set finally returned to normal. He exhaled, but the greed in his eyes only increased.
Regardless of the outcome, we must obtain that scale. Putting aside the improvement to our own strength, the suppression ability alone is enough to make us seize the scale; otherwise, we will have an additional fatal weakness.
How could a top-tier expert allow himself to have a fatal weakness?
Seth glanced at Barbara and said to the Iron Trees, "You should leave first, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when the elders arrive. We will meet again later to discuss how to resolve the issue of the human race."
