Chapter 21: Negotiations
"In the time since the discovery of the goblins, have you found anything unusual?" As soon as he landed on the island, Du Qian, who was already anxious, began to eagerly inquire about the situation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Every day, we have carefully investigated, and we have not found any anomalies, either the goblin has special skills to avoid us, or it could only be that the hunter has seen it wrong." The chief of the guard analyzed.
It's just that everyone understands that the hunter has a small chance of being wrong, and most of them are goblins hiding. However, if it is a legitimate purpose, how can it be avoided from people's eyes, and it happens to appear in the bay of holy light, which makes people have to be afraid of this group of greedy and terrible beings. But it is true that there is no trace of the geography all along, maybe the goblins are just passing by, doing something on the island and leaving?
For a while, there was a lot of speculation on the island, but no one could tell what was going on. I hope it's just a passing pass, Du Qian doesn't want to face these enemies who have accumulated power for a long time, if he can, he will naturally avoid them, but if he has to go to war, Du Qian is not afraid to accompany him to the end. Before things can be seen, a certain amount of combat readiness is naturally essential.
"Don't let your guard down, tighten your vigilance, and be ready to fight!" Du Qian sighed, he could only do this at present, he was completely passive, and there was no way to alleviate it.
Over the next few days, in case of a sudden attack by the goblins, the guards increased again, alerting them for any disturbances. Amilcar has already begun to train soldiers and begin to arrange troops, and the soldiers who were originally very high-quality have been guided by Amilcar, and the originally relatively simple and loose camp has immediately become flexible and changeable, and the land combat power has risen rapidly. The captain of the guard was amazed by Amilcar's ability to arrange his troops, and Amilcar also continued to praise the good qualities of the soldiers.
Just when Du Qian was thinking hard about guarding against goblins, a new situation appeared. News has come from the City of Heroes that someone has spotted an upright walking bear monster in the forest to the north, and these bear monsters are extremely wary of hunters who appear in front of them. Upon probing, it was discovered that they were only the vanguard, that they were on a large-scale migration, that their target location was probably near the village of Gomos, and that the bears probably possessed some level of civilization.
Now Du Qian is really a big one, the annoying goblins here have not been solved, but the City of Heroes is facing such a huge crisis, if the two sides start a war at the same time, most of these hard work will come to naught in a short period of time, and all the efforts are just useless. The current city of heroes is still too fragile, and it has only taken about half a year to establish it in total, and it is not easy to develop to the point where it is now, but in the face of these powerful creatures that have existed on the road for a long time, they are still a little worse after all, and they are not comparable to those garbage fish people.
"Go find me a wooden sign, a bigger one, and I'm preparing a bigger pen." This is not the way to go, and we must look for opportunities to overcome the current predicament.
Soon the wooden sign and the pen were found, Du Qian waved his pen and left a series of vigorous strokes on the wooden card: ask for negotiation, if you agree, please leave a detailed time and place on the other side of the sign, thank you for your cooperation.
"Go ahead, make a few more of this signs, put them on the small islands nearby, just look at them once a day, and give them to me immediately if you find a reply."
Putting down the pen, not in the mood to appreciate his calligraphy, Du Qian returned to the room to rest. If he could, Du Qian was 10,000 unwilling to do this, so he had to do this until there was a bear monster at this moment, because this is tantamount to putting himself at a disadvantage in the negotiation, and he must suffer a loss in the negotiation, just a few differences, it stands to reason that he only needs to strengthen his precautions and wait for them to find himself, so that he can control the initiative, and the situation is really pressing. Amilcar and the chief guard naturally understood, so the expressions on their faces were not very good, and they looked worried.
At the same time, Kamia, the nun of the City of Heroes, also sent hunters to the camp of the bear monster with some gifts to seek an opportunity to negotiate.
Three days later, the signs that had been put out finally came to fruition, and a sentry carried a wooden sign with a few words on the back, but Du Qian couldn't read the words.
"It's an old text, it's a disgrace to us," Amilcar grinned, but there was a fierce glint in his eyes, and it seemed that the Grand Duke was indeed angry. "Let's wait for them tomorrow at noon on the outermost island, the lord must be there, and the lord must be there."
"Well, then tomorrow's negotiators are me, the chief of the guard, and Amilcar," Du Qian pointed at the three of them with his right hand, his right arm had basically healed after so many days, but occasionally it was still extremely unbearable.
"Well, now that the negotiations have been agreed, and they have all the advantages, they will definitely not attack before the end of the negotiations, and the vigilance these days is mentally exhausted, everyone goes down to rest, and once the negotiations fail, they must quickly devote themselves to the war with the best energy." Seeing Du Qian nodding in agreement, Amilcar turned around and went outside the tent to arrange a rest time for the soldiers.
Du Qian and the three of them stood on the island without saying a word, they had been standing here for an hour, but the goblins did not appear, Du Qian was just a little unhappy and impatient, and the grumpy Amilcar was already full of anger, and the chief of the guard was almost impatient, she didn't mind waiting by herself, but it was an unforgivable sin to let the city lord wait here for so long.
At this moment, the sea suddenly rolled on the waves, a burst of bright light flashed, and a sailing ship that could not be seen from the appearance of what material it was, and it should have been added some kind of free mineral, and it was estimated that there were quite a few of them, appeared on the surface of the sea. Seeing such a scene, Du Qian, the chief of the guard and the Grand Duke glanced at each other, their eyes all showed solemnity, but they did not speak, they still watched the sailboat lower the dinghy, and then got down from the sailboat 3 goblins.
Three goblins-like with green skin, long, pointed ears, and a very low, thin head. The leader is supposed to be a female goblin, dressed in white.
"Disgusting green-skinned monkey, it's really unreliable, you picked your own time to be so late!" Amilcar snorted at the goblin in disdain. This was agreed between Du Qian and Amilcar before he came, using the fiery temper of the minotaur as a cover to let Amilcar play the red face, and the chief of the guard cooperated with Du Qian and Amilcar to play the red and white face, playing a mediating role.
