Chapter 318: Negotiation (Revised)
"Your Highness Parley, the Sea Clan has withdrawn!"
"Hmm"
Without the reminder of the general next to him, Parley also noticed the movement of the Sea Clan, and the Sea Clan warriors and sea patrol guards on the dragon boat did not strive to break forward again, but gradually slowed down the offensive and retreated step by step, covering each other and preparing to retreat into the sea.
"Your Highness, do you want to pursue?"
Purely from a tactical point of view, the enemy's retreat is an opportunity to beat the water dogs, there are many troops who can do a good job of attacking, but the army that can do a good job of retreating in an orderly manner and not letting the enemy take advantage is definitely the elite of the elite, the sea clan army is obviously not an elite, and it can still maintain order when attacking, and the cover action when retreating is completely unqualified in the eyes of this group of human officers, and there should be a lot of results in the pursuit.
"No need, let them go, the rest of the matter doesn't have to be solved by fighting."
Parley naturally saw a little more than his generals, and he could guess that the Sea Clan had received the news that the Mussel Farm was threatened.
Now chasing and killing for a while, killing thousands more Sea Clan warriors will not change the balance of strength, how much this cannon fodder Sea Clan wants, now the focus can be changed to negotiations, there is no need to make extraneous branches.
"Also, order the ships to set sail and get back into formation."
"However, the surrounding sea tribes are still..."
"Do as I say, the soldiers have completed the task, there is no need to squeeze like this anymore, as long as the Sea Clan doesn't want to burn the jade, they won't attack anymore, if the Sea Clan doesn't care, we have to continue to attack, no matter what formation we use next, the result will be the same."
Parley saw it very thoroughly, and knew that as long as it threatened the lifeblood of the Sea Clan, the next focus would not be on the battle but on the negotiating table.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, do you want to go down and rest now?"
After the person who delivered the order left, the general on the other side couldn't help but ask, in the whole three days and two nights of fighting, Parley's rest time may not add up to three hours, even if it is a knight's physique, he can't help but be tired, but Natalis still looks like usual, with her strength, she can hold out for at least two days in a battle of this intensity.
"No need, wait for the negotiation envoy of the Sea Clan to come, and it won't be too much longer, go and summon the Marquis of Waraya, General Paul and a few others, and prepare to negotiate."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"You say it again?"
"Our condition is that you withdraw the dragon knights in the southern clam field, demolish the castle built on the clam field, and we promise not to attack the cities on the mainland again, and guarantee the safety of legitimate merchant ships at sea."
On the dragon boat, a tense negotiation is underway.
The negotiator of the Sea Clan is named Bastian, an upright and middle-aged bloodline warrior, he took a few sea patrol guards on behalf of the Sea King on the ship to negotiate, it is impossible for humans to send people to the sea to talk to the Sea Clan, and it is impossible for the Sea King to run to the dragon boat to talk about it at risk, and when the time comes, it will be more passive to be detained by the Terrans, and it is not easy for others to say, anyway, Parley will definitely be able to do this kind of thing, and the people of the Charman family have never been a moral gentleman.
"Mr. Bastian, it is you who are seeking peace now, are you sure that this is your sincerity?"
Parley's tone was very normal, there was no other expression on his face, but in fact he was a big grass in his heart.
What the? Is there an extra city on the sea clam field? The Sea Clan thought that Paley must have known about it, and directly mentioned it as a condition, but in fact, Parley had no news at all, and he couldn't understand how Richard managed to build a castle out of thin air on the clam field. If it weren't for the fact that the Sea Clan directly proposed the demolition of the castle as a condition for peace talks on such a serious occasion, Parley would have directly regarded this kind of thing as a nonsense joke in other circumstances, and would not have believed it at all.
Of course, Parley's adaptability is very strong, and although he himself has not figured out the specific situation, it does not prevent him from showing confidence at the negotiation table.
"Which one do you think should be changed?"
Although Bastian has a certain understanding of human beings, he is also very limited, and he is not skilled in negotiation at all, and he has achieved the sky-high asking price, but the other party is dissatisfied and should make concessions a little by himself, how can he directly let the other party propose amendments.
When Paley heard Bastian say this, he was overjoyed, but he still underestimated the importance that the Sea Clan attached to the mussel farm, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't open his mouth now.
"Our conditions are:
1. The castle on the southern clam field must be retained, and the army must be stationed for a long time, and the sea tribe must not stop it.
2. The Sea Tribes must ensure the safety of human vessels at sea and have the responsibility to rescue human vessels in distress.
3. The Sea Tribes shall never encroach on land again.
4. Choose one of the ports under the jurisdiction of Posey City as a trading port between humans and sea tribes, and the two sides will jointly manage it.
Five、......"
"Enough! Humanity, you didn't win, we're talking about an armistice, not a surrender! ”
Bastian couldn't bear it anymore after listening to the few conditions put forward by Pare, and directly interrupted Pare, he felt that this was simply humiliating him.
"Oh, you don't think you're losing, are 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, and maybe a third less people are born every year that doesn't have much impact on you, so you don't think you lost?"
"Humans, if you dare to do that, not one of you, including the dragon knight, will leave the sea alive!"
Bastian is right, first of all, the fleet will definitely not be able to run away, and without the fleet to respond, it will be difficult to return to the mainland with the extreme flight distance of the red dragon, if the sea clan does everything to destroy the fleet, Richard may be able to run away by teleportation, but the red dragon and even Natalis may be lost at sea.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just stating a fact to you, human!"
Bastian's momentum rose with what he had just said, and even his voice became a little louder.
"Bang!"
Parley, who had just spoken in a calm tone, suddenly knocked on the table and stood up.
"Are you insulting me? There are no warriors who are afraid of death in human beings, and there has never been a man in our Charman family who is afraid of death! ”
