Lewis gave the order, and the cuckoo knights drew their swords one after another.

Nock charged, raised his leg and kneed the cuckoo leader. After being blocked by Lewis with his arm armor, Nock flipped very lightly, passed his arm from above, and squatted on Lewis's shoulder.

At the same time, he threw out the fluid weapon from his waist, wrapped it around Lewis's neck like a soft whip, and drew a fine blood mark with the blade facing inwards.

Magri and Wuming were both wearing armor, standing back to back with clenched fists facing the cuckoo knights surrounding them. Magri was now strong and strong, and he was quite intimidating with his bare hands.

The cuckoo knights who had just drawn their swords hesitated. They looked at Lewis for instructions on the next step.

Lewis had the blade wrapped around his neck, his expression indifferent:

"Tell the people outside that the trebuchets and crossbows are all aimed at the camp."

"Let us go." Nok tightened the blade a little.

"I don't see your respect." Lewis said, "You, and that businessman, you asked for our help, and I helped. We lost people, money, and time, but we didn't get your promise.

benefits.”

Lewis stood up and became more and more gloomy: "And you are still bringing weapons to my camp. I don't like this kind of deal."

"I don't like it either." Wuming said, "But in business, there are profits and losses, so be patient."

Lewis glanced at Wuming:

"What would you do if you lost money?"

"Kill those brats who made me lose money." Wuming's tone was ferocious, as if he was recalling some painful past events.

"Hey, hey, hey." Magri woke up Wuming, "We are the ones being ripped off now."

Nok said coldly:

"We are faded ones, we will not be afraid. We can bet that the blessing will bring us back to life. What about you? Are you also a faded person?"

Lewis was silent for a moment: "You are breaking the ancient contract."

"You were the one who made the first move." Nok said.

Behind Lewis, who could not see, a few drops of sweat dripped from Nok's forehead.

The faded person can receive the blessing again, or be discarded by the blessing at any time. In the past, she did not dare to let Magri take risks, and even more so now.

Nok winked at Wuming and Magli.

This is a contest of willpower and a psychological game between both sides.

Nok believed that as long as the three of them persisted, she believed Dujuan would give in.

Du Juan is despicable, but she should be shrewd, and there is no need to fight to the death.

Nok was trying to wink at Magli Wuming, but saw Wuming turn around and kick Magli in the butt.

Caught off guard, Magri lost his balance and was subdued by Du Juan, with a sword held at his neck.

But before Wuming's feet could fall, Dujuan came up behind him and put a sword on his neck.

Lewis laughed: "This man is suitable to be a cuckoo."

Healing of canthus in Nok:

"You traitor! You betrayed us for Rune!"

"Am I that kind of person?" Wu Mian said seriously, "I will never betray my clients for Rune!"

"What's that for?" Nok glared at him.

"Sword." Wuming said.

"sword?"

"My sword!" Wuming said, "I told you it's precious. You guys are so quarrelsome. What if my sword is damaged or hidden?"

Nok opened his mouth, no longer knowing how to comment.

"You put everyone in danger just for your sword? Sword or not!"

"This is no ordinary sword, it carries my memories." Wuming said, "Memories are very precious, okay?"

Wuming looked at Lewis:

"General, can I get my swords back? I really don't trust them in your hands. The business can be discussed later. The swords must be in my hands."

"What if I don't give it?" Lewis said.

"Business can be discussed later, or never discussed again."

Lewis looked at Wuming for a moment and said:

"Bring him his sword."

After a while, the heavy sword skeleton was moved in front of Wuming, and three soldiers carried it together.

"No wonder you are so precious." Lewis admired the rough and ferocious sword.

Wuming looked helplessly at the sword.

After a while, his real sword was brought up.

Wuming put the long sword on his waist and let out a sigh of relief:

"Much more comfortable - let's talk business?"

Wuming, wearing a sword, approached Lewis.

As soon as he took a step, the circle of swords was raised again.

Wuming glanced at the circle of long swords that had been placed between his neck and the gap between his armor:

"My coming to visit in person reflects my respect for you. If the peace talks can be completed, the profits from operating the Dikdas Grand Elevator will be divided equally between you, Kallia and the college to make up for your losses and help you move forward.

One floor."

"We don't want money," Lewis said.

"That's quite surprising to me." Wuming said, "After all, I have heard about Du Juan's deeds in the lake area, and my own caravan has been robbed by you several times."

Wuming said: "Look, I'm not entangled in the past grudges. Why don't we each take a step back?"

"What we want is respect," Lewis said. "If Kalia doesn't respect us, we will not cooperate with them."

"Very good, the negotiations are finally on the right track." Wuming put a circle of swords around his neck and smiled happily, "What are your conditions? What does Kalia need to do?"

"A contract, a contract of alliance." Lewis said, "Add our coat of arms to Calia's coat of arms."

"I'm afraid...it's not easy to handle." Wuming said, "As far as I know, you attacked the Kaliya royal family and returned with a disastrous defeat. Let them accept you directly, and also engraved the cuckoo on the Kaliya emblem...

"

"We just didn't attack the Kaliya Walled City." Lewis said, "We were trapped by that damn magic trap..."

"There are powerful people behind Kalia." Wuming said.

"I heard that she is the princess of Calia." Lewis curled his lips, "Women in Calia are very troublesome. However, Du Juan still firmly controls most of the lake area."

"I suggest that you only accept the sharing of runes and part of the technology." Wuming said, "Kalia will probably not accept the direct merger and change of badges."

"Then why should I cooperate?" Lewis said, "Am I short of money? Or am I short of technology?"

"We have cooperation with Kaliya Walled City. Do you want to hear some inside information? It is provided free of charge." Wuming said.

"I have a hunch that you want to threaten me."

"It's advice." Wuming said, "Full Moon Queen Lenara's condition seems to be improving and she may recover."

Lewis's expression finally became serious.

"Possible recovery?"

Wuming nodded.

Lewis fell silent.

Wuming said no more, waiting quietly for the other party to make a decision.

"If the Queen of the Full Moon can recover, do you still need to ask me to cooperate?" Lewis said, "With Lenara here, neither the academy nor the cuckoo can cooperate with Kallia - they can only obey."

"So I suggest you establish a good relationship first and sign the contract in advance."

Lewis thought for a moment and said to Knock:

"Go away."

Wuming also nodded to Nok and pointed to the sword at his waist.

The blade was removed from his neck, and Lewis stood in front of Wuming:

"I will go to the academy. Whether the cooperation can be successful depends on Kaliya's sincerity."

"I will try to make them more sincere," Wuming said.

The three of them left the camp, and Nok sat on Magri's shoulder, looking behind him, always worried that Du Juan would regret it.
