Section 364 Negotiation 3

Indeed, just a voice conversation. It is impossible for the other party to send destructive energy through this machine, nor can it use it to eavesdrop on the confidential information here. Although the red coat pretended not to recognize, in fact he had seen this thing. In fact, he has not only seen it, he has also used it. The difference from today is probably only the difference between the factions.

But that time, he really had the intention of betrayal. I really want to arrange a way back for myself. Because his ambition will surely annoy the warlock and be counterattacked. Unfortunately, human intelligence is too weak in the face of magic. Warlocks don't need great intelligence, nor do they need careful calculations or exhaustive schemes. They don't even need to know what they're doing. All they had to do was follow the instructions of the magic. The retreat prepared by the red coat was completely cut off, and he hadn't even figured out what was going on until now.

He shook his head, pulling his thoughts back from the sentimental memories to reality. It's all long over. His hand stroked the ugly dog in his hand. The creature stared at the machine in front of it without blinking.

Things went much better than expected.

It was thought to be a dangerous gamble - with a heavily renovated floating fortress and a group of maintenance workers who still needed it (as everyone knows, the maintenance workers can only say they know how to maneuver, but they definitely don't know how to fight). Just like the auto mechanics on the earth can drive, but the auto mechanic and the race car driver are completely different things) If the operator wants to defeat the enemy, he can only say that he cannot use normal tactics and must find a different way. But in fact, they have a better chance.

The Rangers who infiltrated the interior of the Floating Fortress transmitted the information from Lu Wu to the Stygian Moon. Of course, this information was sent out after careful consideration by the red clothes. In fact, it is in this way that Lu Wu has the determination to negotiate - since it is speculated that the Stygian forces may have plans to withdraw from this area, then this problem can be resolved through negotiations. They need to create such a plot: Huiyue wants to intervene, but he is afraid of the existence of the Stygian Moon army, and he does not dare to take the initiative to attack so as not to create enemies in many ways. And Lu Wu, as an ambitious adventurer on Huiyue's side, found an opportunity for himself. As long as the Stygian army retreats, Lu Wu will be able to make himself the governor, and then he will be able to lead this offensive against the Destroyer.

In return, Lu Wu would provide cover from the Destroyer as they retreated.

Ever since Kecha Goat's death, the Destroyers have lost the desire to attack. The border remains stable. Stygian's army had suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, and it had long since lost the morale to continue fighting. It is important to know that even though Kechakoat is dead, the Destroyer still has a lot of weapons and equipment in his hands.

It is unclear what effect Kecha Goat's death will have on The Destroyer, but one thing is for sure, and that is that the Destroyer's power will not decrease significantly in the short term. This means that the war between Kazuki and the Destroyer, if any, is still not optimistic. Or rather, the Stygian Warlocks were more than happy to stand aside as a bystander, just like the Radiant Moon before them. As long as the Moon Warlocks thought that their retreat would cause a fight between the Radiant Moon and the Destroyer, they would certainly be more than happy to retreat.

In this way, the two sides have a basis for cooperation: the Stygian Moon wants to retreat, and Lu Wu wants the Stygian Moon to retreat. In that case, why fight?

Under normal circumstances, this is difficult, because the atmosphere of mutual distrust between the two camps is very strong, and no suitable communication channels can be found. But the Banshee's Gate is also a frontier place. And everyone who has lived in the frontier knows why those borderlands, desolate and remote, ghost places where birds don't, have towns, and have relatively considerable populations? It can be said that the people of the border land are born with a sense of smell and the ability to smuggle.

Even at this moment.

So it's no surprise that Ivan found a way to get in touch so quickly - however, it's easy to contact someone, and it's not hard to send a letter or something. The hard thing is that the other person is willing to respond to you. What's even more difficult is that the other party is very interested in your proposal and agrees to negotiate with you in the first place.

Although it has the role of Zhu Hua threading the needle in the middle, although it is only a remote dialogue that can only be said to be tentative at this moment, it is ...... It's still a little too smooth. Is it because the Stygian Moon can't wait to get out of this quagmire?

There was a slight murmur coming from the machine, indicating that the contact had been successful. Everyone at the scene held their breath, and Ivan stepped forward and came to the front of the machine.

The room was silent for a long time, so long that one began to wonder if it was the second-hand machine that was malfunctioning, when a voice rang out.

"Who are you?" it sounded familiar to the red. It seems like many years, but the sound is still the same. A figure flashed in his mind, a short, stocky man with a grin, grinning face that didn't match his military uniform at all.

"My name is Ivan, and I am the plenipotentiary negotiator sent by His Excellency Lu Wu. Ivan replied. "May I ask if you are Arsha, the temporary commander of the Stygian faction at the Banshee Gate?"

"Yes, 'temporary' commander. There seemed to be a bit of self-deprecation in the other party's voice. "Well, at least after Lord Averu's death, I'll have the final say. But I warn you, I am a very cautious person, and if this is a trap, you will find that it will never be so easy to count me. ”

As is customary for such conversations, they engaged in a seemingly unnutritious verbal temptation. It sounds, at least, that Arsha is clearly not in a state of triumph. Judging from what he inadvertently revealed (obviously not classified), he has been under pressure from the top because of repeated misses, heavy losses but little gain. Of course, this is not really his problem alone, but the one who is most responsible is dead. According to the unspoken rule, if you can't put all the blame on the dead, then someone will be unlucky. The problem is that the one who died was a high-ranking warlock, one of the highest cores with the title and ranking high in the entire Stygian faction, even one step away from the position of archon. Even if he dies, it is not easy to blame him for all the blame. Because this is tantamount to announcing that the high-level people are not aware of the people, and the employment of people is improper.

Since the top level cannot be wrong, then the fault must be the people below. It is because they have not comprehended the spirit of leadership, failed to correctly carry out tactical tasks, and failed to cooperate well...... In short, this means that there will be a group of people in charge, and this General Arsha is obviously one of these unlucky people.

But even if he is already destined to be a scapegoat, at least he has not been touched for now, and he will not be moved for the time being. After all, this world has enough experience in warfare, so it is also known that changing generals before war is a taboo in military affairs. Although as soon as Kecha Goat died, the destroyers immediately behaved. But that's just the moment, and what will happen next isn't certain. No one knows exactly how the Destroyers will react. Maybe they will hold high the slogan of revenge for the creator, and rush directly to fight with the Stygian Moon.

In short, the overall situation is similar to what Lu Wu learned here. Don't look at the Stygian Moon's side, touting the killing of Kecha Goat as a battle record. But they did not dare to make any moves at the front - neither to increase nor to withdraw their troops. The former means that you will sink deeper into this quagmire, while the latter, if you encounter the Destroyers playing a wave of life, it will really be completely finished.

It can be said that the Stygian Moon is in a rather painful state, and it can't advance or dare to retreat. It's no wonder that Lu Wu just made a request here, and that side was immediately interested.

As mentioned earlier, this conversation can't decide anything, it can only be said to be a preliminary test to understand the other party's attitude. At most, the two sides expressed only one intention, and there was no commitment at all, let alone an agreement. But even though I said that, the conversation went well. There was little expected hostility and deliberate intrigument. Of course, there are doubts, but if the two sides of the hostile camp do not question, it is really strange.

After all the conversation was over, the two sides politely said that they would contact each other next time, and Ivan signaled to cut off the energy, and then the red clothes spoke.

"Do you feel ...... Something is wrong?" he glanced at Ivan, then at the others.

"No, I think it's going well. Yin on the side said. It should be noted that although it is logically implicit that he is not a member of the legion, and he is only in an employment relationship with them, in fact, he and his maintenance team are still very useful at the moment, and can even be said to be indispensable. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the internal systems and specific operations of the Floating Fortress. So it was natural for him to become a VIP and even be able to participate in this matter.

"It just went so well. Redcoat said.

"Your Excellency the Red, as you said, this Commander Arsha is a master of oratory. Ivan interjected. "It's natural to negotiate with someone like that, and you have this feeling of 'going well', right?"

"That's right, but ......"

"And at the moment, they are simply testing each other, probing the tone, and if they are all showing strong hostility or something at this time, then there is no way to continue talking. Ivan said. "And, Your Excellency the Red, it is your responsibility to convey the sincerity of our army's negotiations in the past. ”

"I'm sure," Redcoat said. "They should already know what's going on on our side. So they should believe in the sincerity of this side. ”

"In that case, is there anything wrong with things going well?"

"You don't know this man...... As far as I know, he is known for his cunning and deception. Redcoat said. Obviously, things are going well, but he inexplicably regrets it. What would happen? If the Moon Warlock had a design over there...... No, no, no. He told himself that he didn't have the right to let the Moon Warlock design it. After all, warlocks are also valuable resources and are not wasted on worthless targets.

Moreover, the other party also has a deep fear of the remnants of Kaicha Goat's power, that is, those destroyers. If they could, the Stygian Warlocks were reluctant to provoke them again.

"Yes, but, I seem, this one has a good reputation. The hidden on the side didn't notice the mood of the red clothes. "Supposedly a pretty good commander...... There don't seem to be any rumors of treachery. ”

"Anyway, this time the contact is over. And the time of the next contact has been agreed. All in all, it's going well so far. Ivan felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and came forward to round up. "Next time, we'll have to wait for the Legion Commander to come back. ”
