"Your Highness Pa Lei, the Sea Clan has withdrawn its troops!"
"Um"
Without needing to be reminded by the general next to him, Parley also noticed the movement of the Sea Clan. The Sea Clan warriors and patrol guards on the dragon boat no longer struggled to break forward, but gradually slowed down their offensive and retreated step by step, covering each other and preparing to return to the sea.
.
"Your Highness, do you want to pursue me?"
From a purely tactical point of view, the enemy's retreat is an opportunity to beat the dog in the water. There are many troops who can attack well, but those who can retreat in an orderly manner and prevent the enemy from taking advantage are definitely the best among the best.
The tribal army is obviously not elite. It can maintain order during the attack. However, the cover action during the retreat is completely unqualified in the eyes of this group of human officers. A pursuit should still yield many results.
"No, let them go. The next thing will not be resolved by fighting."
Parley naturally sees more than his generals. He could guess from the Sea Clan's retreat that the Sea Clan had received news that Benchang was under threat.
Now after a long pursuit, killing thousands more Sea Clan warriors will not change the balance of power. There are as many cannon fodder Sea Clan soldiers as there are. Now the focus can be changed to negotiations, there is no need to create extraneous matters.
"In addition, order each ship to hoist its sails, distance itself, and resume its marching formation."
"But, the surrounding sea people are still..."
"Do as I say. The soldiers have completed their mission. There is no need to huddle together like this anymore. As long as the Sea Clan doesn't want to die together, they will not attack again. If the Sea Clan doesn't care, they will continue to attack, regardless of us.
No matter what formation you use next, the result will be the same."
Pa Lei saw clearly and knew that as long as the lifeblood of the Sea Clan Clam Field was threatened, the next focus would not be on the battle but on the negotiation table.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, do you want to go down and take a rest now?"
After the person delivering the order left, the general on the other side couldn't help but ask. After three days and two nights of fighting, Parley's total rest time was probably less than three hours. Even with the physique of a knight, his face was full of fatigue.
However, Natalie still looked as normal as usual. With her strength, she could last at least two days in such an intense battle.
"No need. The negotiators from the Sea Clan should be arriving soon. It won't take much longer. Let's summon Marquis Varaya, General Paul and others to prepare for negotiations."
"Yes, Your Highness."
…
"Can you say that again?"
"Our conditions are that you evacuate the dragon knights in Benchang in the south and demolish the castle built in Benchang. We promise not to launch attacks on cities on the mainland and ensure the safety of legal merchant ships at sea."
On the dragon boat, a tense negotiation was going on.
The Sea Tribe’s negotiator is named Bastian, an upright blood warrior in his prime. He brought several patrol guards on board the ship to negotiate on behalf of Sea King. It is impossible for humans to send people to the sea to talk to the Sea Tribe, and neither can Sea King.
He risked his life and went to the dragon boat to negotiate. When the time comes, he will be detained by the human race and he will be even more passive. It's hard for others to say. Anyway, Parley will definitely be able to do this kind of thing. The Charman family has never been a moral gentleman.
.
"Mr. Bastien, you are the one seeking peace now. Are you sure this is your sincerity?"
Parley's tone was very normal, and there was no other expression on his face, but in fact he was confused in his heart.
What? There is an extra city in the Sea Tribe’s Clam Field? The Sea Tribe thought that Pa Lei must know about it, so they directly raised it as a condition, but in fact Pa Lei had no news at all. He can’t understand Li now.
How did Cha Cha manage to build a castle out of thin air in Benchang? If the Sea Clan hadn't directly proposed the demolition of the castle as a condition for peace talks on such a serious occasion, under other circumstances, Pare would have simply treated this kind of thing as a ridiculous joke.
, wouldn’t believe it at all.
Of course, Parley's adaptability is very strong. Although he himself did not understand the specific situation, it did not prevent him from showing a confident look at the negotiation table.
"Then which one do you think should be revised?"
Although Bastian has a certain understanding of human beings, it is also very limited and he is not skilled at negotiating. He can ask for a sky-high price, but if the other party is dissatisfied, he should make concessions little by little. How can he directly ask the other party to make changes?
opinion.
When Pare heard what Bastian said, he felt happy. He still underestimated the importance that the Sea Clan attached to the clam farm. It would be a shame for him not to open his mouth now.
"Our conditions are:
First, the castle in Bengchang in the south must be preserved and troops stationed there for a long time. The Sea Clan must not stop it.
Second, the sea tribe must ensure the safety of human ships at sea and have the responsibility to rescue human ships when they are in danger.
Third, the sea people will never invade the land again.
Fourth, select one of the ports under the jurisdiction of Posey City as a trading port for humans and sea people, and both parties will jointly manage it.
five,……"
"That's enough! You humans didn't win. What we want to negotiate is an armistice agreement, not a surrender agreement!"
Bastian couldn't bear it after hearing several conditions put forward by Pare, and interrupted Pare directly. He felt that this was simply humiliating him.
"Oh, you don't think you've lost, do you? The dragon knight has arrived at the clam field and can completely destroy your birthplace in an instant. How can you feel that you have lost?"
"Oh, I heard that you have two other large clam farms. Maybe one-third of the tribesmen being born less every year won't have a big impact on you. That's why you feel like you haven't lost?"
"Humans, if you dare to do that, not one of you, including you and the dragon knight, will be able to leave the sea alive!"
Bastian's words are correct. First of all, the fleet will definitely not be able to escape. Without the support of the fleet, it will be difficult to return to the mainland even with the red dragon's extreme flying distance. If the Sea Tribe is destroyed at all costs,
The fleet and Richard may be able to escape by teleportation, but the Red Dragon and even Natalies may be lost at sea.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just stating a fact to you, human!"
Bastian's momentum increased with his speech just now, and his voice became a little louder.
"boom!"
Parley, who had been speaking in a calm tone just now, suddenly knocked on the table and stood up.
"Are you insulting me? There are no warriors among us humans, including the Dragon Knights, who are afraid of death! And there have never been men in our Charman family who are afraid of death!"
"Roar!"
"I am willing to fight and die for the kingdom!"
As soon as Parley finished speaking, the surrounding human warriors raised their weapons and responded. Even several senior generals at the negotiation table blushed, obviously a little excited. Only Natalie stood there with an expressionless face.
On the side, it seemed as if he had seen through everything.
At this time, Richard, who was thousands of miles away, touched his suddenly red ears, which was a little baffling.
"You won't catch a cold, right?"
…
"Is this the result of your negotiation?"
Under the sea, Neptune and a group of high-level priests and generals were listening to Bastian's report on the negotiation process and results, their tone was calm but there was an unconcealable anger.
"Your Majesty, these are just conditions put forward by humans, and they are still waiting for your Majesty to decide."
Bastian acted as the messenger and didn't even have the consciousness to take the blame, so he knocked the ball back to Neptune.
"Your Majesty! Human beings have no sincerity in negotiating."
"Your Majesty! Please give me another chance. I promise to eliminate all humans on the ship within one day!"
Before Neptune could respond, someone below could not help but step forward to take charge of the battle. Anyway, there would be no risk in the main battle at this time. From a purely war perspective, the initiative has always been in the hands of the Sea Clan, as long as the Sea Clan is willing
If we fight, then humans will be defeated at sea. The armies of the Sea Tribe are still gathering. After several days of fighting, not only have the number of soldiers still not decreased, but they have even increased to nearly one million. The nearby fish schools are almost overwhelmed.
They were eaten out.
After several senior generals jumped out to take the lead in the battle, the Sea King calmed down. It was easy to eliminate the humans in front of him, but the clam field could not be saved. He could not gamble with the courage of the humans on the opposite side with one-third of the annual population of the Sea Tribe.
If the dragon knight really destroys the southern clam farm, he will become the sinner of the entire sea clan.
After thinking about it, Neptune had already made a decision in his heart. I am afraid he can only accept human conditions. Now he looked at Bastian with an even more unkind look. Why did this guy come back to ask for instructions? Wouldn't it be over if he just agreed?
"Bastian!"
"His Majesty!"
Bastian just raised his head and met Neptune's unkind eyes, feeling increasingly nervous.
"You go to the human ship to talk again. The truce conditions are too harsh. Let the humans show some sincerity."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
