Chapter 62: The Duel (1)

So, Ralvin and Alex finally had a few more secret conversations, and their final decision was to give up part of the barren land in the north to the barbarians (the barrenness here is only for humans, and for the barbarians, it is already a rare fertile land). Then in exchange for the allegiance of the barbarians, after all, although the trouble of the Northern Barbarians is a headache, it is not the main problem of the Hawke Empire at present. The Empire's greatest enemy is, after all, the Stoke Empire in the south.

"Then why didn't you inform me beforehand?" and why did you hide it from me?" Regner didn't let go of any loopholes.

"Hey, how do I know what kind of attitude Rego has. Alex said quite wrongedly: "This guy is full of muscles, and he looks like his sexual orientation is not normal, if he falls in love with you, maybe he can directly negotiate to get him to agree not to go to the army." Wouldn't we have to cede land in this way? There is little hope for a negotiated settlement, but we must try. ”

"And what does that have to do with hiding it from me?" said Regner.

"Don't I know you yet?" Alex rolled his eyes, "You kid can sit and never stand, you can lie down and never sit! If I told you that we were ready to cede land, you would tell me how much effort you would make in the negotiations?"

"......" Regner did not speak.

"If you don't say it, I know. Alex said with a playful smile: "You must have made a proposal to cut the land without saying a word, right?"

"Anyway, you made the proposal this time......" Regna muttered back.

"That's because Rego is so resolute. Alex shrugged.

"Well, even if this reason is reasonable, then why would you want me to duel with Rego?" Regna asked puzzled, "If you can reach an agreement, why do you have to do it?"

"Are you stupid?" Alex changed his disdainful look and asked, "I'll just ask you, if you don't have a duel, we will directly follow the agreement." How much will it cost both sides?"

"Well......," Regna thought for a moment and replied, "We are giving the land of a province, and the barbarians?" should be to move south, and then send some of our people to support our southern battlefield. ”

"That's the end of it. Alex spread his hands: "You see, when you lose the duel, then we will just execute it according to the agreement and pay the same price." But if you win, then the brutes will bleed profusely. Why don't I go up and gamble on this sure-fire deal?"

"I see...... "That's how it is," Regner realized that Alex wanted to seek more benefits for the Hawke Empire through this duel. Regner loses, and the Empire's gains are the same compared to the direct signing of the agreement. But if he wins, then the empire will have the support of the entire barbarian clan. It's really a sure-fire deal!

"Ah, I don't have much hope for you, but you're a representative of the Mission, and you should always do something to make a difference!" Alex leaned back in his chair and sneered.

"Hey, who said I couldn't beat him?!" Regna was unconvinced.

"Cut!" Alex had a little disdain in his eyes: "Don't be funny, people are eighteenth-level berserkers, you can win a fifteenth-level little assassin?

"I'll get you a proper plug to plug your ass!" Regner said viciously, then turned away.

Alex looked at Regner's back with an angry grunt, and then showed a rather complicated smile.

......

The duel between Rego and Regna was scheduled for the evening three days later, and during these three days, Regna began to desperately study the information in his hand, hoping to find some of Rego's weaknesses from it.

Although this duel is not a duel of life and death, it is equally related to the interests of the Hawke Empire and the Barbarian Clan. And as Alex said, since he came to the Ice and Snow Plateau, he has been eating, drinking, and having fun, and he has not contributed much during the negotiations, and now it is time for him to make his own contribution to this negotiation.

Moreover, perhaps he was afraid that the two barbarians Flanda would interfere with him! Regner sent two good MIA agents to the Hawke Empire on the first day.

"Just send them back to a quiet northern village and settle them down, so that they can live like ordinary humans. I'll take care of this for me, I'll check it out when I get back, and I'll ask you two if something went wrong!" Regna instructed earnestly. Although Rego's ridicule during the negotiation before made him feel a little embarrassed, now that he has decided to help these two people, there is no reason to give up halfway. Therefore, Regner is still very careful to try to give them a stable life.

"Yes!" the two MI agents hurriedly replied, both of them were already mid-level soldiers above level ten, although this ice and snow plateau was a bit dangerous, but with their protection, there should be no accidents along the way.

"Very well, go ahead!", Regna nodded.

"Lord Regner...... Flanda was looking at Regner with gratitude at this time, she didn't expect Regner to really be willing to work so hard for them, after all, they just met in the water.

"Needless to say. Regner smiled, "Maybe I'm going to be a little pretentious, but at least I want to, and it's just a gesture for me." ”

"Thank you, Flanda will always remember your kindness. Flanda saluted respectfully.

"Alright, that's it! I wish you all a nice journey!" Regner waved his hand.

At this moment, the barbarian kid who had been snuggling up behind Flanda ran over, and he looked at Regner with some fear, but he never ran away.

"Speaking of which, you're so much worse than your father!" Regner smiled and touched the child's head.

"%¥#," the child said with a trembling voice.

"What did he say?" Regner was stunned for a moment, he looked at Flanda, only to see that the savage woman was smiling at the child, but did not answer.

"¥#!" the child repeated.

“????”

"Snow in the Snow......

“?????”

"Blood Shemi"

“???”

"Thank you. The child seems to have finally remembered the correct pronunciation of the phrase.

Regner couldn't help but smile when he understood.

"Your Excellency, you are a good person, and I and this child, thank you very much. Flanda said seriously.

"Alright, let's go!" Regner waved his hand again, then turned away.

"Nice guys?" hehe...... Regna thought with some mixed feelings. To be honest, it seems that this is the first time he has heard others say that he is a good person. People hated him when he was an orphan, people didn't know him when he was a mercenary, and people feared him when he was the head of military intelligence. Regner didn't expect that he would be called a 'good man' in a wild land in a foreign land. You know, most of the people in the human world now regard him as a mysterious and terrifying demon......

After sending Frenda and the others away, Regner devoted all of his energy to the study of Rego. Although this impromptu behavior was sneered at by Alex, Regner didn't care about it, and instead of spending the past few days in anxiety, Regner felt that it was better to devote all this time to even meaningless busywork. Besides, he doesn't think it's meaningless, if he gives it his all, Regnar is confident that he still has the strength to fight Rego.

......

Three days passed in a flash, and the decisive battle between Regner and Rego was already in sight.

Although the battle between two high-level powerhouses is not earth-shattering, it is still very possible to accidentally tear down a few buildings during the fight. Therefore, the duel between Rego and Regnar was not set up within the Great Tribe, and Rego set the battle site under a cliff.

It was a cliff more than 20 meters high, and a large semicircular basin was formed just below the cliff, and the basin was more than 200 meters in diameter, which was quite suitable for use as a dueling arena.

I heard that the barbarian king was going to duel with the human powerhouse, and many barbarians drove out, and they all stood around the basin, surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside, which looked a little similar to the scene of the Hawke Empire's great contest back then.

"Your weapon has been maintained, and there are no problems with other enchanted equipment. At the last minute, Alex put away his sarcastic attitude and began to serve Ragner with all his heart.

During the days of Regner's retreat, Alex asked for Regna's equipment to leave, because this duel was more important, so Alex felt that it was better to prepare everything perfectly.

Because of this, Regner's equipment is used by the Enchanters of the Mission to recharge and make various other adjustments. The reason why the mission brought an alchemist was originally to prevent Regner from missing out on equipment when assassinating Rego. I didn't expect it to come in handy here now.

"Thank you. Regner nodded, then took the Light Swallow and the Black Blade.

There were no problems, all the armament was intact. Regner took the black blade in his hand and pulled a sword flower, and then greeted Garona: "Teacher." ”

"It's so much trouble for me to hide every time I'm checked by the enchanter!" Garona couldn't help but grumble.

"Teacher, you've worked hard. Ragner hastened to say nice things.

"Well, let's talk about any complaints later! Garona sighed, "Remember, fight him with the mindset of killing him, otherwise you won't have any chance of winning." ”

"Apprentice understands!" Regner nodded.
