"......" Rego thought for a moment, then asked, "What about the specific proposal?"

"Each of us sent a representative to the duel. Alex said slowly: "If we win, then the barbarians will be obliged to do their best to help the Hawke Empire in the future." Moreover, the barbarians will openly submit to the Hawke Empire. When the time comes, we will designate a province as a special province inhabited by barbarians. ”

"You're trying to make us surrender?" Rego's eyes narrowed.

"That's right, surrender. Alex nodded.

"And what if the barbarians win?" asked Rego, holding back his anger.

"Then we will unconditionally cede a province, and you barbarians will support our Hawk Empire to a certain extent, as for the strength of support, it is okay to discuss it slowly in the future. Alex replied.

"Whether we win or not, do we have to support you? I just said that my barbarians are thick-skinned, and now it seems that human beings are not necessarily thin-skinned. Rego snorted.

"However, we are also going to give up a province no matter what. Alexway replied with a smile: "Please don't forget, Your Highness Rego, the starting point of this transaction is that my Hawk Empire suffers." If you barbarians don't pay a price, do you think it sounds, Your Highness Rego?"

"......" Rego thought for a moment, he looked at Regner, and then asked, "That's the land of a province, can you be the master of this mission?"

"It's okay......" Regner nodded, he didn't understand Alex's intentions now, but since Alex had made a move at this time, Regner felt that it was better to follow Alex's train of thought. Regner always felt that Alex was hiding something from him on this trip, but as an uncle who had guided him for many years, Regner still believed that he would not cheat himself. Although Cordak told him to be careful with this guy......

"That's good. Rego thought for a moment, then asked, "I want to know who your dueling representatives are." ”

"Huh?" Alex was stunned.

Rego continued: "Although I am a barbarian, I also know the truth of people outside of men. Not to mention anything else, just the two Sacred Realm warriors of your Hawke Empire's Wind Sword Saint Malloret or the Wandering Spear Kevin, I am far from being an opponent, and if your Hawke Empire sends a powerhouse of this level to fight me, I don't have any chance. ”

"And who do you like?" Alex asked confidently.

"If you can, I think Alexander, the second prince of your empire, is a very suitable opponent. Rego surprised not to mention Regna.

"Unfortunately, His Highness Alexander is fighting in the southern battlefield at this time, and there is no way he can spare time to duel with you barbarians. Alex shook his head.

Regner scurried forward, as if trying to get Rego's attention.

But Rego frowned and continued, "If he can't, what about Annelot, the champion of the last tournament?" Actually, I wanted to fight her at the time, but unfortunately ......."

"This ......," Alex looked a little strange, he smiled awkwardly and replied, "Miss Anne Lott has the same important business now, and she can't get out of it." ”

"That's a shame. Rego shook his head helplessly: "I thought that maybe I could use her to prove that vindictive spirit is not inferior to the power of magic......"

"Hey, don't talk like you're going to beat him!, you don't know how terrible that girl is!" shouted Regner, jumping to his feet.

"Whether you can win or not, at least you have to fight. Rego pursed his lips noncommittally, he turned his head to look at Alex, and then asked, "Then Alex, how are you, Alex? You have an eighteenth-level fighting spirit, and I think you will be a good opponent in the future." ”

"Excuse me!" Alex raised his hand in surrender, "I admit that I am no match for you." ”

"Hey, I'm the boss of this mission, okay?!Are you looking for Uncle Alex or not looking for me?" Regna finally couldn't help it: "Why didn't you think of me as an opponent?"

"You?" Rego rolled his eyes, then shook his head, "You are still some distance away from level sixteen, and you have no chance of winning against me." I don't like fights without suspense, and I don't like fighting with the weak. ”

"Level isn't everything!" Regner blushed and shouted, "I killed two high-level when I was in the middle rank, and I am still a mage and a knight!"

"I'll admit it's a pretty good record. Rego nodded: "But if you often take it out to show off, it proves your weakness, because only the weak will show off their past." ”

"You're weak! Your whole family is weak!" Regner was furious: "You were defeated at my hands in the first place, have you forgotten?

"I'm just letting you. Rego said lightly.

"Ahh

Rego stared at Regner, then asked, "Are you serious?"

"Nonsense!" Regner was not afraid.

"......" Rego turned to Alex and asked, "Did you decide the same way?"

"If this is Lord Regner's will, then we obey naturally. Alex smiled.

"......" Rego looked at Regner, and then said regretfully, "I admired you very much. ”

"And then?" Regna always felt that this sentence had a bit of a's salty and wet feeling.

"You said before that you hid your power, so I think you may have also sealed some of your own fighting energy with a secret method. But now, it seems, that doesn't seem to be the case. Rego replied, "So, I was a little disappointed when I saw you again. ”

"If you dare to fight me at night, then I promise to give you a big surprise!" said Regner, gritting his teeth, only now realizing that the Dark Body and the Shadow Instantaneous Body were too big - it had to be night. If it was daytime, Regner felt that he was actually not much different from other ordinary high-level assassins!

"Oh, so your secret is here?" Rego was a little surprised, but he shook his head, "But I refuse to fight at night. ”

"Why?" Regner choked on and barely breathed.

"Because this is a battle involving the interests of the two forces, if I can fight for one point of advantage, I will naturally fight for one more point. Rego replied.

"Hey, are you going to take advantage of the danger again?" Regner sneered, "Having said so much, I'm actually afraid that I'll lose the night battle!

"So be it. Alex spoke again: "We might as well set the duel time in the afternoon, when there is still about half an hour before it gets dark." By doing so, at least it will ensure that both sides can play to their full strength, what do you say, Your Highness Rego?"

"......" Rego thought for a moment, then nodded: "If I don't give you the opportunity to exert your full strength, I'm afraid the Hawke Empire won't admit its defeat calmly." Alright then, just do what Alex says, I'm okay with that. ”

"I agree. Regner didn't object either.

After that, Rego discussed the specific time and rules of the duel with Ragner and Alex. After finalizing all of this, they went on to discuss the bets after the duel in detail.

The negotiations lasted a full day, and the more late in the negotiations, the more skilled Alex became. This made him feel alert again, which showed that Alex seemed to be prepared before he came. What the hell did he hide from himself?

Regner was deliberately silent, leaving Alex to negotiate with Rego. In the end, Regner finally determined that this duel was definitely not an improvised idea of Alex, but a strategy he had come up with after careful consideration.

This conclusion made Regner's heart feel a few more bumps, but he still did not directly question Alex, but signed a final agreement with Rego as a representative of the mission.

......

At night, Alex looked at the secret letter in his arms, and then smiled and said to himself: "These barbarians, after all, are simple-minded. ”

"Uncle, I have something to ask you. Regner said after knocking on the door.

"Come in, the door is unlocked. ”

After Regner came in, he found the letter in Alex's hand at a glance, he looked at Alex, and after seeing that he didn't seem to have a hidden meaning, Regner also asked directly: "What are you planning?"

"Planning?" Alex was stunned: "I didn't plan anything!"

"So, can you explain to me about the duel?" Regner asked, suppressing his anger, "I remember that the order I received before I came was to try to prevent the barbarians from going south, and I don't remember that our mission has the right to cut off a province and throw it to the barbarians." ”

"That's the order from before. Alex smiled, and he handed the letter in his hand to Regner: "You see, this is an order given to me by His Majesty, and the level of this order is higher than the previous decision. ”

Ragner glanced at the letter before he understood. It turned out that after repeated thinking, Ralvin felt that although killing the barbarian king Rego could temporarily ease the momentum of the barbarians going south, this action also had drawbacks.

First of all, this approach can only temporarily alleviate the immediate crisis, and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of the Northern Barbarians. And at this time the Hawk Empire and the Stoke Empire were still in a stalemate, and God knows when this war would end. If it drags on for another year or two, when the next barbarian king appears and unifies the situation again, the barbarians will still have to go south.

Second, if the barbarian king is killed directly, then there is no doubt that it will arouse the hatred of the barbarians, which is irrational in the long run.

Third...... Belch...... The third is Malolet, the old guy who constantly presses the royal family in the days when Regner is preparing to leave Melindel. In short, I just don't want Regner to take the risk of assassinating the barbarian king, you must know that this is a job of playing with life! As for why Malorite feels so sorry for Ragnar? Hehe, I'm afraid this question is only known to Malloret herself. Maybe he was under some kind of pressure?
