Chapter 791: Can you eat this? Is it tasty?

Robb frowned unhappily.

The Maya chief's face showed a look of anger. "Look at these damn Northerners! A few years ago, they cheated me with a glass bead, claiming it was a gemstone, and exchanged this piece of land with me. At that time, I thought they were friends. But recently, after they dug a large mine here, they started capturing our people because they lacked labor for mining. They killed many of our warriors and turned the townsmen into slaves. These shameful thieves!"

The queen stood beside him, showing a small, awkward smile because she had initially thought the same way. If it weren't for Robb's persuasion, she might be doing the same thing.

The chief said, "We have attacked this mine, but we can't break in. Their warriors outnumber us and are stronger than us. They also have sorcerers. We wanted to rescue our people and planned to capture your people to exchange with them... but it turns out you're not on the same side."

The queen asked, "How many soldiers from the Kingdom of Norma are inside?"
 

 

The chief replied, "Around four hundred, they arrived on two large sea ships."

The queen silently calculated that her personal guard had two hundred people, and the Maya eagle warriors had over a hundred. Combining them, it was absolutely no problem to fight against the four hundred Kingdom of Norma soldiers.

At that moment, a court magician approached and whispered to the queen, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? Should we negotiate with the Kingdom of Norma's people first?"

The queen snorted, "Negotiate? When they sent troops to Mondra's stronghold and summoned the Legion of Angels to attack us, did they negotiate? It's better to just throw a fireball directly at their faces and talk after the battle."

The court magician sweated profusely.
 

 

The queen said, "However, I shouldn't personally take action. If I do, there will be no room for diplomacy."

Her subordinates immediately understood. If the queen herself took action, it would likely lead to a full-scale war between the Kingdom of Norma and the Kingdom of Gran. But as long as the queen didn't appear or take action, the matter could be explained as the actions of a small independent force, allowing room for diplomatic maneuvering.

The court magician nodded and quietly retreated.

Then, the joint forces of the Kingdom of Gran and the Maya tribe quietly surrounded the mine...

A few minutes later, a fireball shattered the tranquility!
 

 

The court magician faithfully carried out the orders of Her Majesty the Queen and struck a fireball at the faces of the people of the Kingdom of Norma. It was repayment for the great gift they gave during the attack on Mondra’s lair.

Subsequently, the entire mine became chaotic.

Someone angrily shouted, "Enemy attack!"

"Are those brown indigenous people back again?"

"No, that was a fireball spell! It wasn't a native magician, it's those damn dogs from the Kingdom of Gran."

"Ah!"

Someone was hit by an arrow and fell from the city wall, and over a hundred eagle warriors began to charge.

Bows, bamboo darts, and spears were all aimed at the besieged wall.

The Kingdom of Norma’s people were instantly thrown into chaos.

Someone shouted, "It's not the Kingdom of Gran dogs, it's the Maya tribesmen attacking."

As soon as this person's words fell, a soldier from the Kingdom of Gran rushed out. With a brave leap, he jumped over a long distance, landed just outside the fortifications, and thrust his sword into the wall, climbing up.

If there were defenders on the wall, they would have shot arrows at him, used magic, or thrown stones down. But this surprise attack came too suddenly, and the eagle warriors concentrated their firepower on the guards on this section of the wall. The Kingdom of Norma’s soldiers couldn't react in time, and in the blink of an eye, the warrior climbed to the top of the wall. He then threw down a rope, allowing others behind to climb up, laughing and saying, "Kingdom of Norma pigs! Die!"

"Damn, it really are those dogs from the Kingdom of Gran."

"The Kingdom of Gran dogs have allied with the natives."

"Damn it!"

"The Kingdom of Gran dogs have stooped so low as to ally with the natives."

The Kingdom of Norma’s people cursed and rushed forward, and both sides engaged in a fierce struggle centered around the fortifications. However, as soon as the battle began, the Kingdom of Norma’s people felt that something was wrong. These people were too strong! Whether it was individual quality or team coordination, they surpassed the Kingdom of Norma’s people by far.

The Kingdom of Norma’s people suffered a major setback as soon as the battle started.

This was actually inevitable.

This Kingdom of Gran unit was the personal guard of the queen, and each soldier had exceptional qualities. On the other hand, the Kingdom of Norma’s unit in the mine was a private army of noble adventurers who came from overseas to mine and scavenge. How could their soldiers' qualities compare?

As soon as they clashed, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Norma were knocked around.

The Maya people couldn't help but rejoice!

Although their eagle warriors were formidable, it was difficult for them to face the better-equipped Kingdom of Norma unit head-on. But now, with the Kingdom of Gran’s soldiers charging ahead, the agile and versatile nature of the eagle warriors could be fully displayed.

They quickly climbed up the fortifications, leaped into the mine, and moved swiftly on the rooftops, constantly shooting poisoned arrows and throwing spears from above, causing great trouble for the Kingdom of Norma’s soldiers.

The battle ended quickly!

After all, the difference in strength was not negligible.

The Kingdom of Norma’s people quickly became powerless to resist. If it were the Maya people attacking, they might still be able to use hostages to threaten the enemy. But since the main force was from the Kingdom of Gran, they couldn't even be bothered to capture the natives as hostages. They opened the eastern gate of the mine and fled towards the sea in a sorry state.

The queen didn't bother to pursue them either. She let her soldiers take over the mine, carefully counting the ore left behind by the fleeing Kingdom of Norma’s people and sealing it for her own use.

The Maya people who had been imprisoned in the mine were finally free. They embraced the eagle warriors and cheered with joy, ecstatically happy. It was a feeling of longing that they were finally back.

The chief walked up to Robb and the queen, respectfully bowing and saying, "Thank you for your help. I now believe that you Kingdom of Gran people are our friends. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

The queen remained silent, but Robb grinned and said, "No problem, no problem. You go and take care of your people first. As for our requests, we can sit down and talk about them later. No rush."

That evening, a grand feast was held in the mine belonging to Westwind City.

The Maya people brought out their best goods to share with the people of the Kingdom of Gran, thanking them for their rescue. They also presented a considerable amount of gold and gems as a token of gratitude.

However, during this gratitude ceremony, the queen didn't even glance at the gold and gems. Instead, she took out a pile of plants gathered along the way, arranged them in a row, and asked the Maya people one by one, "Can you eat this? Is it tasty?"
