I Picked Up Talents in the Interstellar Battlefield

chapter 194 - Treaty Signing


Inside the treehouse, Eastern Yunhai, Aland, the Elf Princess, and several Elven Elders sat around a wooden table, beginning the first formal alliance negotiations between humans and elves."Let me first mention the conditions from the Empire's side."As Eastern Yunhai spoke, his eyes swept over the young man in the corner. He hadn't expected that in such an important occasion, the Elf King would allow Qin Tian to be present.It seemed he had greatly underestimated Qin Tian's importance in the Elf King's eyes.Eastern Yunhai presented the plan he had already drafted.There were standard conditions, such as opening ports, allowing free trade, and the Elven Race bearing most of the space fleet's military expenses annually.There were also some conditions clearly beneficial to the Oriental Family, such as the Elven Race providing various types and large quantities of spirit fruits or seeds annually, the Tree God helping the Oriental Family improve spirit herbs and treasures, and a special open space near the Tree God being designated for collective spirit herb cultivation.In return, the Empire would provide space protection for the Elven Race, help the elves eliminate the Dark Elves, build communication platforms for Elf Star, establish a financial and monetary system, and introduce technological products, among other things.In Qin Tian's view, many of the "favorable" conditions proposed by Eastern Yunhai contained obvious hidden dangers. For example, the construction of communication platforms would allow the Elven Race to be monitored by the Empire, leaving no secrets, and the establishment of a financial and monetary system would directly control the future lifeline of the Elven Race.As for opening ports, free trade agreements, and bearing military expenses, these were textbook examples of opening up a country, giving him a sense of déjà vu, like the treaties signed in the late Qing Dynasty.Of course, he did not speak up to remind them. At present, the elves were asking for help from the Empire, and even if the Empire offered more stringent conditions, the elves would have to grit their teeth and accept them.Moreover, even if he reminded them, what could he change?In front of the behemoth that was the Empire, the Elven Race was still too weak and simply not qualified to bargain.In addition, although the lifeline of the Elven Race would be controlled by the Empire in the future, to some extent, it would also bind the Elven Race more closely to the Empire's war chariot, which might even be a good thing for them.Just as Qin Tian had predicted, the Elven Race did not realize the risks and hidden dangers involved. Instead, they felt that, apart from the condition of providing a large number of spirit fruits and seeds each year being too greedy, other aspects were not as harsh as imagined, and even showed a considerable degree of goodwill.After arguing over a few conditions, the elves and the Empire quickly signed the first alliance treaty."Your Royal Highness Elf King, Your Royal Highness Princess, and all elders, the alliance treaty has been formally signed. Next, the space fleet will go all out to help the Elven Race eliminate the Dark Elves and eradicate the remnants of the evil god."Eastern Yunhai said solemnly, "However, if we want to achieve success in one fell swoop, we must first determine where the First Battle Group's base is. This will take some time, but rest assured, the Empire has the most professional troops and will definitely pinpoint the target in the shortest possible time."Aland nodded and said in fluent Imperial language, "Then I'll leave it to Mr. Eastern.""Uh, I can help with this."Just then, a voice came from the corner.Everyone immediately turned to look.Qin Tian stood up and said seriously, "I can find the First Battle Group's lair.""Qin Tian, you have a way?"Aland asked in surprise. He knew that since Qin Tian dared to say so, he must have a very strong grasp of the situation.Eastern Yunhai looked at Qin Tian in surprise. It was well known that the Dark Elves always paid attention to concealment, and their lairs were hidden underground. Apart from the Dark Elves and evil god followers, anyone else who entered the Dark Forest would be immediately discovered, let alone find the location of their lair.How did he do it?Qin Tian faced Aland and slowly said, "As you know, after rescuing Vinoia, I returned to the Dark Forest.""Yes."Aland nodded. At that time, he had disagreed, but Qin Tian was resolute, and he couldn't stop him.At this moment, he remembered that Qin Tian had indeed said at that time that after entering the Dark Forest, he might have a chance to help the elves eliminate future troubles forever and destroy the Dark Nest in one fell swoop.Qin Tian continued, "At that time, I marked several Fourth and Fifth-tier Dark Elves. As long as I enter the Dark Forest again, I can pinpoint where these marks repeatedly appear, which is most likely the First Battle Group's lair."He did not reveal the ability of the Soul Imprint, but instead used another explanation.After all, the ability of the Soul Imprint was too overbearing, being able to enslave even Dark Elves who believed in the evil god. If others knew about it, it would cause unnecessary trouble.Of course, his explanation also greatly astonished everyone.Not only did he enter the Dark Forest and return unharmed, but he could also leave marks on Fourth and Fifth-tier Dark Elves without being discovered.This ability was truly exaggerated.Qin Tian looked at Eastern Yunhai and said, "Mr. Eastern, give me a miniature signal transmitter. I will put it into the Dark Nest, and when the signal is emitted, the space fleet can launch an attack on the target.""No, that's too dangerous."Aland flatly refused. He did not want Qin Tian to enter that extremely dangerous Dark Nest. He already owed Qin Tian enough and could not let Qin Tian risk himself again."Kid, don't worry."Qin Tian's lips curved into a smile, "I will have the Dark Elves personally bring the signal transmitter inside."Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.Having the Dark Elves bring the signal transmitter inside, what kind of method was this?At this moment, in everyone's eyes, Qin Tian seemed to have an elusive veil of mystery around him, which even Eastern Yunhai could not see through."You promise you won't go in!"Aland was still a little worried. Although Qin Tian had always been cautious and steady, he had done several things that, at least in Aland's eyes, were very risky, such as entering the Dark Forest alone, and resisting a Sixth-tier Dark Elf with a Fourth-tier body.Although Qin Tian was safe and sound in the end, these incidents still showed his adventurous genes."Don't worry, I'm not that foolish."Qin Tian smiled. He indeed had no intention of entering the Dark Nest. After all, there was the Seventh-tier Dark Elf Morost there, as well as many Sixth-tier experts. If he accidentally revealed a flaw, he might not even have a chance to escape.He would have the signal transmitter brought into the Dark Nest by that guy named Moro, the second guide.His previous preparations had finally come in handy at this moment."Also, I'm not helping for free, you have to pay me." Qin Tian said with a raised eyebrow."Of course, the Elven Race will never mistreat its friends."This was not said by Aland, but solemnly promised by # Nоvеlight # the Elf Princess. Qin Tian had already helped the Elven Race enough, and they could not take his efforts for granted just because of his friendship with Serandir.The Elven Race would not only repay Qin Tian but also show the utmost sincerity.Hearing this, Qin Tian's face showed a smile:"Then wait for my news."
