" Because, behind Bayard City, is the City of Xiongnu. It's my city." Tangning pressed her face to the side of Sydiado's head.”
As they rubbed against each other's ears, Sydiado felt a strange sense of excitement. However, the things Tangning was talking about attracted her so much that she had no choice but to focus on them.
"Compared to other cities, what's the difference between the Netherlands and the rest? Although the Orc Empire's army was powerful, they couldn't afford to waste their resources in a meaningless war. If there weren't any benefits that the upper echelons of the Orc Empire were interested in, the Orc Empire wouldn't send troops to attack Bayard City.”
"Of course there are differences!" Tangning slowly moved her hand up until it touched the bulge on Sydiado's chest.
"Because I'm the lord of the City of Gambia. My territory also includes two islands, Thousand Mountains Island and Green Forest Island.
I would need a large amount of manpower to develop these two islands. Speaking of manpower, the Orc Empire's massive Orc population would be one of my top choices for developing these two islands.
If the cost of hiring orcs could be controlled within an acceptable range, the orcs of the orc empire would not be inferior to the slaves of the human countries.”
"If you use the Beastmen as slaves, then what's the difference between you and those slave traders?”
Sydiado's body gradually stiffened." I forgot, my lord. Your predecessor was a slave trader. You also want to sell slaves, right?"
None of the human nobles are good. Since I've already fallen into your hands, I shouldn't have any more fantasies. Come, you'll only get my body, but you'll never get my heart.”
Sydiado's body stiffened and he gave up resisting. However, Tangning felt a little bored as she let go of Sydiado's charming body.
"Hehe, I just want to get your heart.
I don't know if my predecessor was a slave trader, but I can tell you that I'm definitely not a slave trader. The profits from selling slaves are huge, but the profits are too bloody and dirty. For the time being, I don't have any plans to do this.”
"You don't believe me, do you?"
Seeing Sydiado's cold expression, Tangning muttered to herself," Other than the Fox Tribe and a few other tribes with high intelligence, the majority of the Orcs are not that intelligent. So, most of the Orcs that roam the human countries rely on their physical strength to survive.
Most of the money they earned was only enough for them to barely survive. Some orcs even became slaves to human nobles in order to survive, right?”
" That's why the Beastmen changed their habits of traveling in human society," Sydiado said fiercely." In the eyes of most Beastmen, the human countries are simply cannibals. Selfishness, greed, cruelty, and all other bad temperaments can be found in the human society.”
"Cannibalism is not only limited to the human countries?”
Tangning laughed coldly," The history of the Orc Empire is no shorter than the history of human society. In the long history of the Orc Empire, there have been cases of selfishness, greed, and cruelty that are no less than those of human society. Didn't the Orc nobles raise human slaves in their homes? Aren't there any human slave traders among the Beastmen? Did the Beastmen not enslave the Beastmen?
"However, there's no point in us arguing about this. In the human countries and the Orc Empire, selfish, greedy, and cruel things happen every moment. I'm the same as you, and I can't change anything.
I only want to tell you one thing. Other than having a little freedom, the beastmen's fate in human society is not much better than slaves.”
Sydiado remained silent as Tangning pointed at a chair.
"Sit down first. You don't have to rely on the beastmen to develop the two islands. Humans can do it too.
In the slave market, stronger Beastmen slaves could be seen everywhere. As long as I had money, I could buy the Beastmen I needed. Why would I cooperate with the Beastman Empire to develop the two islands?
In my opinion, what the Orc Empire needed the most was the advanced technology of the human countries. In the process of developing the two islands, not only would the Orcs receive rewards, but they would also learn many skills. Therefore, hiring the Orcs to participate in the development of the two islands should be acceptable to the Orc Empire.”
Tangning saw that the woman seemed to think that she was a jerk and was unwilling to listen. She was worried that the woman would commit suicide the moment she stepped out of the room, so she explained sincerely.
"I'll say it again, I'm not a slave trader. On the contrary, I hate those slave traders who suck human blood. You don't believe me, do you?
Alright, I won't bring in Orcs from the Orc Empire to develop the two islands. I'll just buy slaves from the slave market, right?
"You are a fox beastman, so you should be the best at managing finances. From now on, I'll hand over the finances of the territory to you. I believe that under my management, the fate of the slaves will always be better than that of the other nobles. If you manage well, the more money I have to buy more slaves, the more slaves you can save through me.”
Sydiado's expression softened slightly, but she still did not speak.
"You don't believe me, do you?"
Tangning felt like a green insect had invaded her brain. She didn't want such a beautiful fox girl to die in an instant, so she gritted her teeth and said.
"Alright, I can understand that you don't believe me. I promise you, before I gain your trust, I won't touch your body, right?”
Damn it, why did he mention slaves?
Such a good night, such a romantic night was gone just like that. It was all because of those damn slave traders.
But, if it weren't for the slave traders, the adorable Sydiado wouldn't have come all the way from the distant Gerald to Tangning. The previous mayor, Hamid, was definitely a slave trader. Otherwise, Sydiado wouldn't have been locked up in the dungeon.
As she watched Sydiado's beautiful back slowly leave, Tangning began to regret.
Every moment of the night was worth a thousand gold. It was such a beautiful night, but because he accidentally mentioned the word " slave ", it caused a strong rebound from Sidiado, which aroused his hatred for the slave trader. Not only did he lose a great romantic opportunity, but he was also forced to agree to the condition of not touching Sidiado. He put a tight spell on himself, making him regret it so much that his intestines turned green.
Fortunately, he had also obtained a very good financial manager. The financial management ability of the fox orcs was not inferior to that of humans. As for whether Sydiado would be loyal to him, it was not within his consideration for the time being.
With his ability and the policies he used to govern his territory, he couldn't find a reason for Sydiado to betray him. Most importantly, he revealed his intention to cooperate with the Orc Empire, and the benefits of this cooperation would be the biggest guarantee that Sydiado wouldn't betray him.
As for colluding with the Orcs to stab the Human Empire, Tangning felt no pressure at all. He wasn't from this world to begin with. He was only good if he was good.
After tidying up her thoughts, Tangning practiced the 'Yuanzhen Wuji' mental cultivation method for a while before she laid down on the soft bed and fell asleep.
