Chapter 40: The Rose of Fire and the Pool of Ten Thousand Golden Cities
Faced with the difficult and high-pressure challenge of going alone to persuade him to surrender, Edward hesitated slightly.
After all, in ancient legends and romances, it seems that it is very easy to do this, and the success rate is quite high.
But it's all made up, and Edward is still in another world, who knows if he will be shot to death by someone else before he can open his mouth?
Edward's side has an advantage, and it can be said that with cannon fodder to go up to the pile, for the mercenary group that is not too strong in the will to fight, although it will
It costs most of the cannon fodder, but you can still capture the city.
On the contrary, if Edward went to persuade him to surrender, if he failed and was ambushed and killed, it was foreseeable that these guys under Edward who were already discordant would absolutely
Immediately it fell apart.
But from the bottom of his heart, Edward wanted to play with this kind of high-quality thing.
Besides, Edward really didn't believe that he couldn't run away with Gengna, an escape expert.
And I heard that Mocha Sistine, the leader of the flaming flames, is still a beauty, and with his brother's charm, he may be able to achieve a good story. (Gross!)
You don't have you! )
In short, Edward righteously agreed to Lisa Bloodwell's suggestion.
Then Edward, of course, reaped Lisa's adoring gaze and the suspicion of a certain bloody nun.
This kid won't really like his third sister, does he really want to grab a man with his sister?
Let the army retreat three miles, and then bring Lisa and Philia, sisters who insisted on going, as well as a vote of Minotaur guards such as Gengna, to the city to call for battle.
(What about the one who said he was going to go alone and say that he would surrender?) )
"This is Lord Edward White, the Captain of our Dark Dawn Legion, please come out and meet your Flame Rose Leader." Lisa carried herself
His super black bow looked at the city and said.
After a while, the gates opened, and a group of nearly thirty men slowly came out of the city.
Edward, the female swordsman who was riding on the salamander at the head, was full of astonishment.
Like, too similar, the female swordsman who rode looked too much like Angelina Jolie, the female star that Edward loved very much in his previous life.
In particular, the magical eyes that make people indulge in them are most similar.
In an instant, Edward decided that the female swordsman must be taken down.
Mocha Sistine, known as the Rose of Fire, was also looking at Edward.
Although I admired Edward for his courage to surrender, I was still a little surprised to see Edward's childish face that had not yet taken off his childish face.
And the most special thing is that Edward does not have the pointed ears of the dark elves, so Edward should be a human or half-elf.
But in this world, half-breeds are despised, so it's strange that Edward can lead such a large army at such a young age.
Of course, Mocha also noticed the little boy's surprise and then fiery gaze when he saw him.
A funny and daring boy, that's how Mocha defined Edward.
In addition, Mocha paid more attention to the strange composition around Edward.
A large number of elite minotaur warriors and a minotaur hero who exudes the temperament of a strong man.
Plus two dark elves, a dark ranger and a bloody nun.
How do you look at it and feel weird, aren't the minotaurs hateful to the dark elves? And the dark elves also mostly regard the minotaurs as slaves that can be manipulated.
How to coexist peacefully now.
He also honored a young boy who was not too strong and very young as the leader, especially Mocha saw the support for the leader in the eyes of the Minotaur
Pride.
"Miss Mocha, we have come with great sincerity, we do not want to wash the city in blood and make the people suffer. We just want to get it
Reign over Forscart City, and we won't change anything else. "I can't tell that Lisa is still a good spokesperson.
"Captain Edward, why didn't you come and talk to me?" Mocha said with a smile.
Edward stopped the Dark Ranger in order to make the other side surrender, but Edward now wanted to rely on his charm
Make the other person surrender to himself.
"Captain Flame Rose, I want to know what you're occupying this city for, not to mention any long-term autonomy or anything. We all know that
Once the results of those two great forces appear, then it is impossible for them to see the existence of forces on their territory that do not belong to them. Edward laughed
said.
"We declared independence only to safeguard the interests of all our Forscart City mercenaries, and we don't care who wins or loses. But Edward
The reputation of the Legion Commander, with all due respect, seems to have never been heard of. "Mocha is a military general.
"It's true that I wasn't famous before, but now I have these loyal and reliable men, and they are my reputation. I also want to make sure
The interests of my subordinates, I think we have something in common on this point, and the interests of both sides, although overlapping, can also be reconciled. "Edward looks
Humble, but vaguely proposed that his soldiers were strong, he just didn't want to fight hard.
"Brother Edward, I may call you that. In fact, sister, I don't want my brothers and sisters to die in vain. But how do you prove it
Ming, our interests will not be damaged after you surrender. If we give up the city and you come back again, we will lose the protection of the city wall by then
There is no capital for negotiations. "Mocha made a little concession, of course, but also took the opportunity to put forward conditions.
"The walls are not your protection, I have an army of four thousand, more than a thousand elites. And I don't think all the mercenary groups in the city combined
to 2,000 people, how can these people compare with my army of 4,000? The conditions must be reciprocal for both parties to be negotiated. And is my sister really able to represent Fosca
Are there all the mercenary groups in the city? I think there will be a lot of casualties in the fight, and many people will probably not want to fight this battle, right? Edward said loudly, looking
But he crossed Mocha and kept scanning the guards of different shapes on the side.
The men's eyes flickered, as if they were all thinking about something. In fact, these people are the leaders of the major mercenary groups in the city.
You must know that even if Forskat City is close to the fiery red mystery domain, the strength of the mercenary group is generally very high, but no matter how high it is, there will be no hero-level master as a mercenary.
(One or two are exceptions, after all, heroes can become lords of a small city.) )
So at most, some senior professionals come to be the head of the regiment, and most of these senior professionals are sons inheriting their father's business, so there are not many of them.
Edward brought so many minotaurs as guards, and Forscart City could only use the leaders of the major mercenary groups as guards. Of course, there are also precautions
Mocha means, after all, this negotiation is about the life and death of the major mercenary groups, if you don't come, although Mocha has always been reputable, but this is a dungeon Xin
And the mercenary groups used to compete with each other, so they didn't have such a high level of trust.
Edward Chiguoguo's discord plan, but these mercenary group guys had to fall for the trick.
"Humph! If you want to fight, we will not be afraid of you. A girl in a flaming robe said. Look at the appearance and Mocha looks
Very similarly, it should be Mocha's sister Salegi Sistine.
Looking at the age of seventeen or eighteen, it seems that this person's talent is indeed high enough.
And Mocha's face was also quite gloomy, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the hesitation of the leader of the mercenary group.
"Haha, Sister Mocha. I'm not here to fight with everyone, I'm a person who pays attention to harmony and wealth. It's not much good to fight me with you, no
And I'd love to recruit you. So I'm definitely not going to fight you easily. Edward said with a smile.
It can be seen that the leaders of all the mercenary groups are relieved, after all, although the mercenary group lives a life of licking blood from the knife edge, the real war is not one
It's going on.
If you don't get it right, the regiment will be wiped out, and this is not something that the leaders of the mercenary group who have worked hard to get together are willing to do.
"I know I'm not old enough to convince you, but I think the Minotaur still has a good reputation in the dungeon. This is one of my elders, too
A minotaur hero, Genna Galloping Hoof. I think you'd be tempted to believe his assurances if he had made them. Edward smiled and introduced.
"Yes." The reputation of the Minotaurs was truly unique in the dungeon, and most of them nodded in agreement.
"And in return, I'm willing to pay for Forscart City, where there are 10,000 underground gold coins, which is a little bit of my heart for Sister Mocha." Edward snapped his fingers.
The two minotaur warriors each held a large box and opened it, revealing a box of gold coins inside.
Although the money received by the leaders of the mercenary group may add up to more than 10,000 gold coins, it is still very rare to be able to see 10,000 gold coins at one time.
Edward was generous, as the spies had heard of as well.
Now seeing 10,000 gold coins is sure of Edward's generosity.
And as the mercenaries who believe in the most equivalent exchange, you pay for my life, spending money to buy a city is a very powerful statement.
Edward's use of this method to bring down the mercenaries is undoubtedly very appetizing.
In this way, even if Mocha understands that Edward has bad intentions, and can even regret it completely, the gold coins will return to Ed when he breaks the city
The pocket of the flower.
But now the leaders of the various mercenary groups who are dazzled by the gold coins probably can't hear her words.
And what's even more terrifying is that those low-level mercenaries won't listen to Mocha's explanation.
Money and life are undoubtedly more important to mercenaries.
Now that the money is available, and the life can be saved, this will undoubtedly make all the mercenaries work for Edward.
Although in the end, they may not be able to save their money and lives, they will also choose not to hear or see, and deceive themselves.
Mocha knows that she has lost, she has a group of pig teammates and an enemy who has figured out the psychology of mercenaries, and she has not lost unjustly.
Mocha could only pray that Edward was not a cruel fellow, though he had heard that the young kid had slaughtered several villages and towns before.
He also has a minotaur by his side to guarantee that he shouldn't deceive people, and Mocha can only deceive himself.
Mocha and the others, who were crushed by Edward's series of attacks, accepted the agreement to buy the city.
Then Edward's army took the city of Forscart so easily and without a single soldier.
