Not to say that the actors haven't tried to negotiate with these 'dwarves', they had already struck deals with them. However, neither the actors nor the 'dwarves' trusted each other.
Being of the same human race brought them closer, but it also made them wary of each other.
"Among the 'dwarves' we captured, about one third agreed to our terms as long as we didn't harm them. Among the remaining 'dwarves', two thirds chose to respond with silence." Lan Xing looked at the neatly arranged boxes placed at regular intervals.
"They're in..." Qian Cangyi said softly.
He glanced at the gap behind the boxes. Just now, one 'dwarf' was observing everything from there. Although the 'dwarf' hid as soon as he turned his head, Qian Cangyi still detected its presence.
"Hmm." Jing Huashui nodded.
These 'dwarves' infiltrating the room were expected, but they chose not to capture them.
Simply capturing these beings wouldn't help them survive the impending siege.
