"You won this bet." It didn't matter if he kept arguing. Seeing that more than half of the two groups of goblin hammermen on the ground were about to be wiped out soon under the constant long-range strikes of the Olympus Squadron, Asilia finally
Sighing softly, he spoke frankly to Figaro on the side.
"Thank you." Dean Hockenheim glanced at the great arcanist and smiled meaningfully.
Next, under Figaro's signal, Olympus quickly stopped the follow-up attack with burning arrows. At the same time, the old goblin man also asked Dronisius to gather the remaining goblin sergeants and treat them.
wounded.
"According to the bet, I will return to Khumbu City immediately and will not leave until the end of the war. However, if the war spreads to Khumbu City, then I will still stand up to 'greet' it." As a person who is accustomed to wind and rain,
As a powerful person in the extreme, Aciliya didn't have any regrets or unwillingness to face the defeat in front of her, and she put down her words without being humble or arrogant.
"It's natural, Master." Figaro nodded readily in approval of the old man's slightly evasive confession.
"Then, I'll take my leave first." After saying that, Aciliya nodded again and flew directly back to her Yun'an airship.
Seeing this, the Azurite side, whether it was the Olympus Squadron or the mages of the Mages Group, could not help but cheer loudly. On the other hand, the goblins all had gray faces and were dejected, and Dronisis was even more dejected.
, bowed his head and said nothing.
Next, under the leadership of the high-level goblin mage Gu Qi, the goblin mage group still maintained their battle formation, and first slowly retreated into the airship. The other hammermen also supported the wounded and dead, and then
Withdrew.
However, there is a small detail that is quite interesting, that is, as the goblin commander, Doronisis did not take the airship with his men in the end, but was directly pulled by the goblin great arcanist.
Arriving at their own car. Obviously, out of the original intention of protecting her own people, Asilia planned to take Dharanisis back to Khumbu City and watch. Otherwise, Commander Jing would be furious in a short time.
Lucas was hung up and dried into strips of meat.
As for the three-headed Naga, it seemed as if it had been completely forgotten by the goblins, and no one had said a word about it.
Looking at the Goblin airship that slowly rose into the sky and then quickly flew towards the south, after a moment of silence, the soldiers of the Olympus Squadron once again cheered together, and they did have reason to encourage and celebrate.
This time, Moriarty and his men not only withstood the planned surprise attack by the goblins, but also captured three powerful Nagas alive, while their own casualties were almost negligible.
Of course, most people did not notice that at least eight red crystal gargoyles were damaged in the fight with Naga. Three of them were completely scrapped due to the damage to the internal alchemy array. As for the other five, they also needed
It can only be used again after major or minor repairs.
But no matter how you put it, being able to win the bet with the goblin great arcanist Aciliya this time is a very meaningful victory for the Azure Mage Group, for Azurite City, and even for the entire Northern Allies.
Being able to softly imprison an extremely powerful person and prevent him from exerting most of his power is of great positive significance on the entire strategic level.
"Rest on the spot for an hour, and check your injuries and equipment. In addition, White, take a sled and four wolf cavalry, go to Storm City to report the situation, and ask the Lord of the City to send someone to meet us." Waiting for the local airship.
Completely disappearing into the distant horizon, Moriarty ordered to lift the highest alert status and continued.
"Yes!" White agreed immediately, then jumped on a sleigh next to him, led a few armored infantry and four wolf riders, and galloped at full speed towards the mountains of La Coruna far to the south.
After briefly communicating with Master Depra, Moriarty turned around and came to the three-headed Naga.
"Gentlemen, I am the commander of the Olympus Squadron of the Azure Mage Corps, Moriarty." Moriarty looked up at the prisoner who was almost twice his height and said loudly.
"I am Tchaikov Balalaika from Rudra City." Looking at the seemingly weak human being in front of him, the big leading Naga first said in a deep voice.
"I am Zhukov Balalaika." Warhammer Naga followed closely.
"Humph, I am Chekov Balalaika!" Although he had already mentioned his name before, on such an occasion, Naga, who was the first to surrender, still announced his family name.
"So, it seems that you are three brothers?" After listening to the self-introductions of the Nagas, Moriarty smiled secretly in his heart. Among the Naga tribe, the social status of males has always been lower than that of females, and their wealth distribution is also far behind.
Not as good as "Half the Sky." And the "Balalaika Family" actually raised three of them at once, which seems to be quite a challenge.
"Not bad!" As if he noticed something strange in the other person's eyes, Tchaikov, as the eldest brother, immediately glared at Moriarty fiercely and responded with a roar, without any awareness of being a prisoner of war.
"Very good. Since the three Mr. Balalaika are all family members, the subsequent negotiations will be much simpler." Moriarty did not care about Tchaikov's potential resistance, but said with a smile.
"Well, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Tchaikov suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, lowered his head and spit out phlegm, and hummed.
"First of all, I want to confirm one thing. What is the relationship between the three of you and the Yugoslav Federation?" Looking at the bright red blood in the large mouth of sputum at his feet, Moriarty paused, then took out a box and handed it to Na.
In front of Jia, he asked calmly at the same time.
"This is..." Looking at the black wooden box delivered to his chest, Tchaikov was stunned, looked at the other party with a little doubt, and reached out to take it. After opening it, he saw a dozen or twelve healing potions inside.
.
"What does this mean?" Snapping the lid of the box, Naga blushed and said, "We don't need extra mercy!"
"As a qualified commander, I need to be responsible for my team. Since the three have surrendered to our department, they are part of the team until the problem is solved. Do you have any questions about this?" Absolutely not.
"This..." I didn't expect that the other party would "kick him down." Naga was so drunk by Moriarty that she didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Chaikov, as the commander of the Olympus Squadron, I order you and your two brothers to use these healing potions immediately. Otherwise, I will think that you are deliberately resisting my will and deliberately
Making an act of resistance that is incompatible with the status of a prisoner." Moriarty immediately said loudly without giving Naga any time to think about her refutation.
"...Okay. The noble Naga will never do anything contrary to his promise, and we will obey your orders." After looking at each other for half a minute with Moriarty, Tchaikov finally withdrew his gaze with some sarcasm.
Then, under Moriarty's gaze, the Naga boss reopened the wooden box, handed eight of the healing potions to the two brothers respectively, and poured the remaining four into the air. Soon, a
A cool and comfortable breath rose from Naga's belly, and then slowly traveled throughout the body along the blood vessels in the body.
"Very good, then we can continue the conversation." Moriarty nodded, smiled slightly, and repeated the previous question: "What is the relationship between the three of them and the Yugoslav Federation?"
"South-League? What relationship do we have with those little green men?" Although they were inferior to Moriarty in terms of momentum, the comfort brought by drinking the healing potion still made the Nagas feel a little relaxed. Chai Ke
The husband exhaled a sigh of relief, and then said with a strange expression.
"Since it doesn't matter, then why did you appear here in a Naga airship today and attack us? Also, it was you who attacked our northern allies in the Yonville Valley salient before, right?" Mori?
Artie asked again.
"Oh, that's just a business." Tchaikov didn't seem to think that his past behavior was serious, and continued to speak lightly: "The little green men came to the city to recruit people, and offered gold coins if they were willing to help them fight.
If you do well, you can also get magic equipment and so on. Later, a few priestesses asked us three brothers to follow them around and help the little green men fight."
"So, you are mercenaries?" Naga's remarks were consistent with the intelligence previously obtained by humans.
"Mercenary? You can also say that, after all, they just fight to make money." Naga shrugged.
"I don't believe it! Since you are mercenaries of the goblins, why did the goblins leave you three here like this without even farting when they were running away?" At this time, Guderian suddenly started to argue.
Come on, among the whole squadron today, the silver-bearded dwarf who had a head-on confrontation with Naga was the most seriously injured. But fortunately, several mages from the Blue Mage Group who are good at healing have already treated Guderian face-to-face.
So, the dwarves who had recovered immediately came out to pick bugs with Naga.
"Hmph, those little green men are just dying to leave us here!" At this time, the youngest Chekov suddenly shouted angrily.
"oh?"
"It's true, I didn't lie to you!" Seeing Moriarty's expression as if he didn't believe it, Chekov immediately shouted and added: "We Naga and the little green men have always been very difficult to deal with. If it weren't for
This time you humans are looking for trouble to attack the south, maybe our three brothers are still wandering around ambush the goblin caravan fat sheep!"
"Let me take the test! Are you three still doing this business?" As soon as he heard the words "ambush", "fat sheep" and other words, Guderian jumped up excitedly, with a pair of small eyes shining with golden light.
"I don't do it often... only a few times a year... If I do it too much, I'll be spotted easily, and then I'll be whipped to death by the priestess." Looking at the excited dwarf, Chekov smiled coyly.
.
"kindness."
Moriarty had long heard of the long-term disagreement between Naga and the goblins. As a strong warrior clan, Naga had long looked down on the weak goblins; and conversely, the goblins also had a problem with Sora.
The Nagas, who have rough bodies but poor magic and civilization, have always held contempt for them. Chekhov is right, it is precisely because of the pressure of the powerful human allies that the Nagas chose to reach an agreement with the southern goblins.
Some kind of hidden alliance. Once this external force recedes, I believe the historical conflict between Naga and Goblin will break out again.
And just like this time when the three Balalaika brothers were captured, both the goblin commander Dharanisis and the great arcanist Asilia remained indifferent. Because as the "bulge murder case"
The main murderers, the three Naga brothers must be at the top of the Northern Allied Forces' blacklist. In addition to the sneak attack on the Blue Mage Group this time, the three Naga brothers can basically be regarded as war criminals. And to hire such a
The price that the Yugoslav Alliance has to pay is probably not a small number. And it will definitely not be completed before the end of the war, because humans cannot easily put back the Naga with astonishing combat power and then attack themselves. So.
, that’s why the goblins left so readily. As for the Balalaika brothers, they were left to humans to deal with as they pleased. Anyway, just go back to Rudra City and hire a few new Nagas. Again, losses.
I really don't feel sorry for these naga and gojing.
"In other words, the goblins will not pay any ransom for the freedom of the three of them?" Moriarty looked at the abandoned Naga brothers and said.
"...That's it." Upon hearing this, Tchaikov's big face twitched slightly, and he reluctantly uttered a few words.
"Then you have to pay the ransom?" Moriarty smiled again.
"We have no gold coins!" Suddenly, Chekov burst out.
"Impossible, you're lying again!" Immediately, the silver-bearded dwarf jumped out happily, pointed at Naga's lower body and yelled with disdain: "You just said you would help the goblins fight to make money, how could you not do it again?
gold?!"
"I'm not lying to you!" Chekov hurriedly explained to Guderian's accusation: "According to the agreement between the priestesses and the little green men, most of the hard money earned by us 'wage earners' goes to the Queen's taxes.
The officer took it away directly and said he would give it to us after returning from the war. All we could get immediately was a small amount of money."
"Small money? How much is it?" The dwarf was indeed an expert at gold mining. He completely ignored Naga's miserable expression and continued to pursue him.
"...Half completed..." At this time, Zhukov, who had not spoken much until now, suddenly said in a deep voice, his eyes turning cold.
"Half percent?" Hearing this word, the silver-bearded dwarf was struck by lightning: "Damn it, even the chicken cake seller on the roadside earns more than the three of you! Are you considered a Naga?"
"Well...who says it's not..." Regarding Guderian's deep contempt, the three Balalaika brothers did not show any anger, but instead felt sad.
Who said that men and women hold half of the sky? In the eyes of Nagas, the status of good men like the Balalaika brothers is slightly better than that of serfs, but it is also limited.
