"Queen, the other party sent us a communication request. Do you want to connect?"
Senya was also stunned for a moment after hearing the report from his ghost.
Immediately I looked at the countdown on the tactical board, there were still 447 seconds left...
"Take it over and listen to what they want to say!"
"clear!"
Soon, the communication was connected, and Senya was stunned when he saw the scene inside the bridge of the Star.
In addition to those humans, their king was also among them.
"How dare you..."
"How dare you do this to our king!"
There was a burst of excitement at first, but soon it turned into boundless anger.
Because, at this moment, their king was shackled both hands and feet, and there were dozens of human and elven soldiers around him, pointing their weapons at him, ready to fire at any time.
Immediately, Senia couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to rush forward immediately and tear those humans to pieces.
However...
"Senya, calm down."
If Jiang Xingchen said this, it would definitely be useless.
But it was Stanley who spoke at this moment...
This left Senia a little confused.
"King, you..."
"Okay, I'll leave you alone. This time I want to talk to you about what you are willing to pay to redeem your king!"
"redemption?"
"Nonsense, your king is our prisoner now, is it possible that we should return it to you for free?"
"Hmph, it won't be long before I can kill you all and bring the king back!"
"Really, what if I kill him now?"
As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen raised his right hand.
Seeing this action, the motorized infantrymen on the side immediately raised their half-raised beam rifles and aimed them at Stanley's head.
This scene directly frightened Senya.
"stop!!!"
"Stop? If you don't want to talk, then why should I keep him?"
"I...we are willing to talk!"
"Okay, first of all, to show your sincerity, your fleet must stop immediately. Otherwise, once it comes within ten light seconds of us, I will think that you have no willingness to negotiate."
"Can!"
The situation is stronger than the people, what else can Senia say?
When the fleet was stopped, it was still less than thirteen light seconds away from the first fleet.
"Tell me, what do you want?"
"With 90% of the ghost queen and fleet reduced, we can release Stanley and coexist peacefully with the ghost!"
"impossible!!!"
Upon hearing Jiang Xingchen's request, someone immediately yelled.
It's not Senya, it's Stanley.
Although he has already acquiesced, through negotiation, he will let the ghost pay some price to redeem himself.
But it’s not the price.
Jiang Xingchen's words, to put it nicely, are reducing...
To put it harshly, it means killing!
And more than 90% of the queen and the fleet were killed, which was definitely a heavy blow to the ghost.
"Stanley, make no mistake, you don't have the capital to say it's impossible now!"
"Well, think about it carefully. If you agree and let me confirm that you have done this, I will let you go!"
Glancing at Stanley, Jiang Xingchen said leisurely.
"Let us ghosts reduce 90% of the Queen and the fleet, and then you can easily win the war. Don't think that I don't know what you think. If you ask for this, just kill me!"
"I said, you are the king after all, why are you in such a hurry? We humans have a saying, ask for a price and pay it back on the spot. Since you think this condition is unreasonable, you can also say how much you can accept it.
?”
"this..."
Hearing this, Stanley was also stunned for a moment.
What the hell?
Just now you were saying that I was not qualified to say it was impossible, but in the blink of an eye, in just a blink of an eye, you are telling me that you are asking for prices in the sky and making counter-offers on the spot?
If it's not accidental, should I pretend to die rather than obey in order to keep the conditions to a minimum?
Stanley felt like he suddenly understood.
Although...
This is just an illusion.
"The Ghost Queen cannot be reduced. I can promise to reduce the Ghost Fleet by 10%."
"Do you think I'm a beggar? I'll reduce your reduction to 80% at most, otherwise you'd better die!"
"No, 80% is too much. I still say that the queens must not move. I will reduce the fleet by 20% for you. No more!"
"Then you'd better die!"
As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen raised his hand again, while the motorized infantrymen on the side raised their guns one by one.
Being pointed at by dozens of beam rifles, even Stanley felt extremely panicked.
"Wait a minute, I agree to reduce ten queens from lower-level forces, plus reduce the ghost fleet by 30%. No more."
"No more, but you just said no more!"
...
Everyone in the bridge stared at this scene in a daze.
Real market bargain interstellar version?
Beside Jiang Xingchen, Fu Wanting's face was already very ugly.
She is really trying her best to hold back her laughter at this moment. Can the expression on her face look good?
More than twenty minutes later.
After a red-faced quarrel between the two, the ransom was finally determined to be 30% of the Ghost Queen and 50% of the Ghost Fleet.
Jiang Xingchen had a look of pain on his face, which made him feel as if he had suffered a huge loss.
As for Stanley, he also had a look of pain on his face.
30% of the Ghost Queen, plus 50% of the Ghost Fleet...
This will directly cut the ghost army in half, okay?
Forget about the military strength, with the cloning base and countless warship production lines, it can recover as long as it lasts for a while.
But the Ghost Queen is different, and this cannot be accomplished in a short time.
However, at least an agreement was reached, which made Stanley sigh in relief.
Similarly, Seniya in the communication also breathed a sigh of relief.
In short, rescue the king first, this is the most important thing, and we will talk about the other things later!
However, at this moment, Fu Wanting on the side suddenly leaned over and said something in Jiang Xingchen's ear.
Then...
"Han Xun, push the person back and keep him locked up, we are leaving!"
"clear!"
After nodding, several motorized infantrymen immediately took action.
At this time, Stanley suddenly realized something was wrong.
"You, you...are you kidding me?"
"Have you finally discovered it? It's a pity it's too late. Take it away!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Bai Zhi, cut off the communication. There is nothing left to continue talking about."
"Yes, Commander!"
------
At the same time, inside the Ghost Battleship.
Looking at the communication screen that suddenly went black, Seniya didn't realize what was going on for a while.
But at that moment, the report from her subordinates made her completely dumbfounded.
"Queen, the opposing fleet...has disappeared."
Hearing this, Senya was stunned for a moment, and then Seniya reacted and immediately sensed the presence of his own king.
But found...
I can't sense anything anymore.
After all, the navigation method using the hyperspace engine is a technology for traveling through multi-dimensional space.
Seniya can sense it, so there is a ghost!
At this moment, if he knew popular human words, he would definitely shout...
