vs 164 Sincere x persuasion
"You mean, you want me to propose to the deputy head of the regiment that everyone take action and go to the dragon's lair now?" Naars looked at Tihir.
"I'd be very grateful if you could do that." Tihil said.
"You mean, you want me to lie to the regimental commander?"
As he said this, Nars looked at Tihil with disdain.
"No, don't lie." Tihil said. "You just have to put the situation over there in the right way..... Just say it in front of everyone. β
"Nope." Nars refused. "If you think I'm going to betray the team, you're very wrong. Not only will I not cooperate with you, but I will also tell you about this request... President of the Senate. β
Tihir's face was as usual. "Of course you can do that, if you're willing to see your two companions die. I remember that it was Mr. Alfahar and Mr. Joel who stayed there? β
"They? Did you send someone to catch them? A slight twinkle flashed in Nars' eyes. If you think I'm going to accept the threat..."
"No," Tihil sighed and pointed upward. How could I possibly do something like that? I mean, you see, there's an eagle here, and that eagle is also preying on the people here. β
"You mean...," Nars finally came to his senses. There may also be one above the Dragon's Lair? β
"Very likely." Tihil said. "I know your companions are strong, but if that eagle takes all their equipment away, do you think they're still safe?"
"The danger comes from your people." Nars replied coldly.
"That's right." Tihil said. "Those bastards on my team won't let go of this opportunity. After losing their equipment, they were more numerous. They weren't attacked on the road, and it's not clear that we've reached an intention to cooperate below. What do you think will happen in a situation like this? β
Nars's expression changed, and his voice lowered. "Nothing good will happen...."
"I'm sorry." Tihil said. "But that's the way it is. This offer is not only to save your companions, but also to save my men. If we want to save them, we must rush over as soon as possible --- stop them from killing each other. β
Nars muttered, but didn't say anything.
"Now, the problem arises. You and I both know that in the balance of power, Mr. Arnold is the best gentleman, the most polite chairman. But when the opportunity arises, do you think he cares about the lives of two people, or the gain from destroying a large group of enemies? β
Speaking of 'a large group of enemies,' Tihir gestured to a few teams in the distance. "I know this old friend of mine, after understanding the situation clearly, he will be very cruel to abandon two people, and choose to kill hundreds of people."
"That's right.," Nalls nodded this time. In cold blood. β
"Now I don't want to fight." Tihil said. "We've been robbed of a lot of equipment, items, and even attribute points and skills. And on your side, there is obviously nothing to lose. If the Council does attack, it will be us and the chariot team who will suffer heavy casualties. And even if the victory is won, do you think Mr. Arnold will let go of such an opportunity and let us cheer the victory? β
Nars was silent.
"If he wants to force us to do it, we'll just have to go over there and tell the team, and then join forces with them to deal with you." Tihir said, gesticulating. "The Council is going to be completely finished, and we're all going to be miserable. But in comparison, we will at least win on the battlefield and will live. β
With that, he patted Nalls on the shoulder. "That's all. I know that we usually have a lot of small frictions, but they are all small problems, and the internal contradictions between gentlemen do not really hurt each other. Hopefully it's not the end of it all, it's up to you. β

"It seems to have slowed down."
When Aldrich said this, he was looking at the point of light in the sky. There is no doubt that he will only say this.
What does this mean, the end of the plunder? Is it for some purpose, perfunctory? Or don't you want to expend too much power and prepare for another plunder at the end of the scenario? This plunder, will it leave the 'Proper Tax' DEBUFF as before?
In the distance, Jacob and Tihill and others were approaching. Ah, the number is only half of what they were when they set out, and they have more than half of the casualties? If it's true, it's great. But why are there only Nales and Robier in the team? Did something happen to Alfahar and Joel?
With that in mind, he sent a request to Nars to get in touch.
It was possible, but there was no conversation, and there was only a hissing sound in the communicator.
Raise your head and look at the eagle in the sky, is it interfering? Not only has the variety of plunder increased, but even communication has been banned?
The two teams are already close.
"My friend, is the operation going well?" Arnold walked up to Jacob and hugged him. "I didn't expect you to come back so soon, presumably your space is already full of all kinds of treasures?"
Jacob was silent.
"Something happened." Tihil replied. "We've found some... But before I got it, I was teleported. Well, Mr. Nales understands the situation at that time, and he will explain it to you. β
As his words fell, Nales stepped out of the crowd. "We found the treasures, but there were a lot of accidents on the way, we were attacked, and we didn't get the treasures. Things are complicated, I advise everyone to go over as soon as possible, we have companions who did not return in time, and we don't know how much equipment they have left.... It's best to go and save them as soon as possible. β
Arnold gritted his teeth.
It seems that this plunder did not cause much damage to either the rooster or the chariot team.
In this way, there is no chance of annexing them. But there was another possibility: in the name of the Council, assemble a team --- take advantage of the lack of equipment of the group of outsiders on the other side, and reap enough of them to benefit from them.
The DTPH team, which has torn its face with its own side, the two-headed vulture team that has suffered heavy losses, the successor team that has almost completely collapsed, and the Saint team who are powerless to resist the combined efforts of the three teams.
He looked at Nars, who stared at him with impunity, and that gaze meant: I don't care what your plan is, but you must not give up my companion!
Naars thinks I might give up the likes of Alfahar and Joel for my own selfish gain..... It's not like Jacob's style, it must be Tihir's ghost. That bastard!
Honestly, it's hard to argue. Nales knew what kind of person he was, and he wouldn't believe him if he told him that he would save his friends after defeating the team in front of him.
Well, do you think I'm going to give up? If you really think so, you would be naΓ―ve. DTPH has not been plundered, and there is much to be done about this.
