Chapter 219 Unexpected Participants
Alvin covered the noisy loli's mouth with his hand and put the little girl who always ruined his reputation behind him.
“The next negotiations will be centered around Yani.
Miss Liz, I am just a druid passing by here and have no intention of getting involved in Nield’s dispute over interests.”
"No no no!"
Lian, whose mouth was gagged, was very quiet, but Sir River, who had no boots to lick on the ground, suddenly became excited.
Ignoring the nominal Lord Nield, Annie stepped forward and took the initiative to start today's negotiations.
"Ms. Liz, the protector of Yondala, Arnie Lightfoot sends you greetings.
Please tell me first, what is the charm of Nield that made Brilliant City and Valam send heavy troops to blockade and invade it? "
"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!"
Also ignoring River, Liz jumped off the horse, walked up to Annie, and looked at the little halfling with a serious expression.
"Liz the Faithless is negotiating with you on behalf of Valam.
There was a problem with the ownership of the Nield mine after the coughing outbreak. "
Liz took off her horned helmet, revealing her long golden hair.
She rolled her eyes at River, who was groaning on the ground, and continued.
“According to the Fourth Noble Property Law of the Kingdom, if a rebellion breaks out in a territory and one does not stay in the territory to resist and govern, it will be regarded as a waiver of the property rights of the territory.
So, we are here to quell the rebellion."
"In this way, you can legitimately obtain Nield's territory rights in the name of successfully suppressing the rebellion in the unowned territory in accordance with the 16th Rebellion Amendment."
The paladin in maid costume bluntly pointed out Valam's true intention.
She raised her head and looked at the tall human woman with sharp lips, showing no sign of weakness in her aura.
"Oh? I didn't expect a halfling from Nield to be so familiar with the laws of the kingdom."
Liz looked at the halfling and the human Alvin behind the halfling with interest.
Little Annie raised her head, a smug smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and continued to speak to Liz.
“But you don’t have any evidence to prove that there was a riot in Nield!
The Nields have never taken the initiative to attack..."
Before she could finish her words, Annie's face suddenly turned pale.
"Do you realize that, little one?"
Liz took another step forward, lowered her head slightly and approached Annie. This height difference caused considerable pressure on Annie.
“If you go to Nield now, you will find a pile of corpses of the Radiant City Investigation Team.
Isn't this evidence that Nield the Halfling ignored the advice, insisted on rebellion, and brutally killed the officials of Radiant City?"
"You...you and Xiuman are..."
Before Annie could finish her words, Liz rudely interrupted the little halfling.
She took off her armor gloves and gently lifted Annie's chin with her fingers.
"Smart boy, if I were you, I wouldn't go into too much detail...
That way at least a large portion of you and your halfling friends will survive."
The two of them did not avoid talking to other people during their conversation.
Everyone from Nield listened with great interest.
Nobles, secrets, just another form of gossip.
Especially a certain short half-elf, whose eyes were now wide open.
But Ruiwo, who was tied up in the field, looked very ugly.
He could personally lead Shuman's assassination team to confirm the evidence of Nield's rebellion.
This meant that he had personally destroyed his own possibility of regaining Lord Nield's power.
Immediately afterwards, cold sweat covered his forehead.
Now he heard about Valam and Shuman's plot, which meant...
"Whoosh whoosh—"
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, and several crossbow arrows were shot at a tricky angle from the bushes next to the open space towards the center of the negotiation venue.
Lian and several Valaam soldiers who reacted faster quickly raised their shields.
Those soldiers quickly defended Liz Varram;
And Lian quickly defended herself...
She was unable to defend herself, as a crossbow arrow shot at her tiny shield at a tricky angle.
Then it changed direction and flew towards Ivan's head.
This scared Lian silly.
Although this short half-elf usually beats and scolds Ivan, that is just a natural reaction to perversion, similar to the twisted relationship between male and female classmates on Blue Star.
Before Ivan turned around and left without saying anything, he had to stay by Xiling's side. The slow-witted Lian might not be able to detect such an assassin at all.
When Alvin was facing life and death, this little guy was more anxious than anyone else.
She dropped her weapon and tried to catch the flying crossbow bolt with her bare hands.
But there was a hand that was faster than hers.
Annie stood in front of Ivan, stretched out her hands, and a translucent magic protective shield blocked the two of them.
The crossbow arrow seemed to be caught by an invisible giant hand. It struggled twice in the air and fell weakly to the ground.
[Protection against Ranged Weapons], a three-ring divine spell, is the most proficient spell mastered by the Halfling Paladin.
The last time I brought Xiling with me, I used this spell to defend against the explosion damage caused by the dwarf gunpowder barrel.
Lian raised her head with lingering fear, and felt a little better when she saw the intact human pervert.
Then she looked towards the bushes from which the crossbow arrows came. There were many figures moving inside, and it seemed that there were quite a few attackers.
Several yellow balls of light shot out from behind Lian, evenly covering the not-so-big bush.
Boom boom boom boom!
A huge explosion sounded, accompanied by a scorching air wave, which blew the plants and the creatures hiding inside into pieces.
“Is this [Fireball]?
Impossible! Fireball doesn't have such a terrifying explosive power!"
Surrounded by the tribe, Liz stared in amazement at the human who waved his hand and released a ball of fire.
“This kind of power… I’m afraid even a legendary wizard can’t cast a fireball spell of this power.
What kind of existence is this human being..."
Of course, Ivan's fireball technique was also secretly processed by his bad subconscious mind.
Ordinary fireball spells are purely physical damage: high temperature, explosion, and chaotic air waves.
Therefore, many wizards get a sense of satisfaction from Fireball because of the shocking spell effect.
This doesn't mean that the fireball has high damage.
Professionals with a little experience can reduce the damage caused by the fireball explosion by quickly dodging and reducing the area of force.
To put it simply, the fireball spell, which is regarded as a showpiece by mages, often fails to kill people.
But Ivan's fireball is more than just explosion and flame.
None of his spells were without additives, and in this spell, what was added was - expansion.
That's right, this guy's fireball technique will make the matter swept by the explosion become complacent - I was wrong, let me start over - and increase its volume several times in an instant, and then quickly collapse back.
If it was an ordinary stone or wood that was hit by this, it would be fine. It would just get bigger or smaller. It's not a big deal...
But living organisms are very different.
Not every muscle can withstand the pressure of becoming larger or smaller.
