#311 - Chapter 311 The Deadly Pawns
“How about this, for the sake of these little things, let’s have a chat.”
“After all, 【I】 hate barbaric wars the most!”
“Wu Wei” said with a smile.
Titus, at this moment, was in a furious rage, wishing he could tear the many-tongued demon in front of him to pieces.
However, in his rage, he managed to retain a rare sliver of calmness.
This was quite rare.
Because for Titus, a troll naturally prone to brutality, to be able to suppress the anger from his bloodline already made him superior to 99.99% of all trolls.
“You want to....”
“Say what?”
The furious Titus slammed his hammer heavily on the ground.
Then, no longer minding the many-tongued demon's dirty, twisted body, he grabbed it.
After firmly gripping the many-tongued demon, Titus said viciously.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
“Mr. Titus, please forgive me for calling you Mr., after all, in the eyes of us humans, it is a term of respect.”
“In short, please put down my lovely servant, don’t be impulsive.”
“Because this many-tongued demon cost me over two hundred resource points to create!”
“If you crush it to death, or damage it, I’ll have to use the flesh and blood of your beloved companions to make up for my loss~”
Hearing “Wu Wei” say this, Titus slightly loosened his grip, but still didn’t let go.
Because in his heart, he didn't believe that his companions had any chance of being rescued.
After all, the other party was a human lord, and humans were super monsters without much beautiful emotion, extremely selfish and self-serving.
His companions falling into their hands was no different from being dead.
The reason he hadn't acted yet was only for a sliver of hope.
“OK!”
“Seeing you slightly loosen your grip, I think we can chat.”
“What exactly do you want to say to me?”
“Stop beating around the bush.”
“Otherwise, I will leave here no matter what.”
“Although you hold my companion in your hand, on the battlefield, more of my companions still need my help.”
“Good!”
“Wu Wei’s” avatar, the many-tongued demon, nodded.
Then, he used the most concise words to explain his purpose here.
“I want to discuss a collaboration with you, I wonder if you are interested!”
“Cooperation?”
Titus snorted.
“You think I would cooperate with a human lord?”
“No, do you think I would trust a human lord? You bunch of liars!”
“Of course, you will.”
“Because the way I cooperate with you is a little different from what you think.”
“Wu Wei” smiled.
But his laughter made Titus feel extremely terrified.
“Because my cooperation with you is not about you doing something for me.”
“What I really want is for you to destroy more human lords, and the armies that human lords possess!”
Hearing this, Titus was stunned.
“Are you a traitor among humans?!”
“Hmph, you are even more despicable than human lords, I will not cooperate with a 【rat (meaning traitor)】 like you! Although I am an alien race, I also have my own glory, a glory nobler than that of humans!”
Well, although Titus was one of the more cultured trolls, a troll is still a troll.
In his mind, glory is more important than anything.
And in troll culture, there is no more shameful act than becoming a betrayer of one's race.
So he naturally rejected Wu Wei's deal.
“No, no, no, I am not a traitor among humans!”
“On the contrary, I have actually made a lot of contributions to the empire, at least theoretically made a lot of contributions!”
“I know you hate traitors, but I believe you are a rational person, oh no, a rational troll.”
“Believe me, my cooperation will not make you a betrayer among the alien races.”
“Moreover, through my cooperation, you can even become a hero among the alien races, and most importantly....”
“Titus.”
“Through cooperation with me, I can let some of you completely escape the control of the empire, and obtain a glimmer of true life!”
“And others may not know, but you should be clear, your survival time is less than ten days!”
“You... doomed pawns!”
The many-tongued demon laughed, and Titus's face became very ugly.
