Section 172 The cost of necessary x
"Really?"
Many people cheered. Obviously, although they are prepared to fight as soon as the enemy attacks, they are still happy if they can avoid dangerous battles with powerful enemies.
Wang Luo looked in the direction of the two-headed vulture next to him. "The price is too high."
Sometimes this happens....no way. "You said to join the Council? What's going on. ”
"Oh, don't get your hopes up." Humphrey shrugged his shoulders and whispered. "It could be a provocative tactic."
He then briefly talked about the first support and then the opposition of the Chariot and Rooster teams.
"They want a way to avoid being plundered from us." Humphrey said. "I noticed that they were also unhappy with Mr. President, so I took advantage of that. Having made such requests, they did begin to oppose Mr. Arnold's proposal. ”
If that's the case, then Humphrey has played very well. It is inevitable that there will be contradictions between enemies, but it is another thing to be able to find them with such a keen eye, to grasp them flexibly, and to use them skillfully.
"Very well done." Wang Luo praised.
"Thank you." Humphrey said. "However, the invitation to join the Council was made by Mr. Arnold, and in this matter Mr. Jacob and Mr. Tihill objected."
"What do they mean?"
"Well, Mr. Tithiel said privately that if we refuse this invitation, they can open up the right to trade with us....they can sell us a lot of valuable materials, recipes, equipment. Mr. Jacob, for his part, privately threatened: If we dare to agree, beware of a sudden attack. ”
"It's a good fit." Wang Luo said.
"Hehe... You see, President Arnold's invitation is not necessarily a good intention, he should be using the power of the President of the Council to suppress us. If we agree, there is a good chance that he will make a series of conditions--- compensate them for the previous battles, support them in the council in the future, pay higher dues upfront, etc. ”
"Compensation?" Wang Luo asked.
"Yes, according to the average person's way of thinking, it may not be understood. But their soldiers, as long as they go out, must be rewarded, compensated for the cost of sending out combatants, symbolizing our submission to them... Ah, they're starting to leave. ”
Wang Luo looked over.
As Humphrey said, the Senate's brigade began to retreat. The eagle in the sky was still circling, but much slower. The sky also darkened, not as red as day, as before. The point of light is still drifting, but the speed has been reduced a lot.
As long as nothing else happens, the plunder should be almost over.
Wang Luo looked at the crowd, most of them were excited. Tertedu was nowhere to be seen, and should have gone to the Successor, and there was no need to bother with him now; Ranke was running to his command center, where he could better monitor the Council's movements; Hongdian was talking to the person next to him, and he seemed very happy; Flowers bloom....what about flowers?
At this time, Wang Luo realized that Hua Kai didn't seem to be by his side for half a day, where did she go?
What key information was discovered? Maybe. It's also possible that something happened.
This time has been a collective action, and it should not be a sneak attack. Otherwise, the people around her will find out....
"It's good to fight this time." Suddenly, such a voice sounded in Wang Luo's ears.
Wang Luo followed the sound and looked. He was a member of the third team, and today he was behind Tertedu, a man who fought very bravely.
"Why do you say that?" Wang Luo didn't know what the other party's name was, so he didn't ask.
"I almost won before." The man said. But they were inexplicably stopped, and they were attacked from the rear, and everyone was very unconvinced. If we play from the front, we will never lose. ”
But what's in it for you? Is it enough not to lose? Why fight battles where you can't get a lot of money?
Wang Luo brought the words to his lips and swallowed them back. Saying this will lower the morale of the regimental members. So he smiled. "It's good to be ambitious. Don't worry, we'll have a chance soon. ”
"And you spent so much money to buy this ally." The man continued. "Wouldn't it be a waste not to take the opportunity to fight."
I'm looking for allies, not current thugs......not to mention that I won't need it this time, and I'll have a chance in the future. "It's a shame that they didn't get something in return..."
"You and... The people of the two-headed vulture are allied? Humphrey on the side was surprised.
"Yes." Wang Luo said. "After this toss, they know what we weigh, and the alliance is feasible."
"I'm not against that." Humphrey said. "But you lent them money?"
"That's right." Wang Luo said. "The price of necessity. A loan of 600,000 GMs, and then purchase their 200,000 GM points. If there is no fight, they will not be used, and they should be returned automatically...."
"That can't be." Humphrey said. "You've been scammed. It's the default contract of the scene. ”
"Yes."
"In that case, it's equivalent to not ordering anything." Humphrey said. "The fighting power of the two-headed vultures is good, but they are poor, very poor. I'm afraid they've spent all of your 800,000 yuan. ”
"How do you spend it here?" Wang Luo said strangely.
"Pay off the debt of space." Humphrey said. "They owe a lot of money to the space, and for a long time, they have been tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall. Their economic skills are special, and even in this case they can borrow money from space. Conversely, most of the generic points obtained from trading or selling will be taken away by space. ”
"It seems bad." Wang Luo said.
"Yes." Humphrey said. "Your 800,000, they can probably receive about 160,000, and they will immediately spend --- buy a lot of combat potions, scrolls, equipment, and props. You want to come back, it's impossible. ”
"This practice...."
"The materials they sell are generally of okay quality. But the price will be more than double the price of other teams. Humphrey paused, as if remembering something. They will seize every opportunity to cheat every penny from outsiders. Did I tell you no? They have been members of the Council. ”
"Joined?" Wang Luo asked.
"That's right, it's a thing of the past." Humphrey said. "I don't know what to say, but... When faced with an opportunity to make a lot of money, they did not hesitate to choose betrayal and abandon their status as a council. ”
"Rat eyes..."Wang Luo commented.
"That's true." Humphrey said. "If I don't get into this scene again, that's fine. But they have since entered many times--- and despite their superior combat strength, they are still embarrassed by the council, and the losses far exceed their original gains. ”
Wang Luo pondered. At this time, Boreh walked over. "Commander... Ah, Mr. Humphra, I hear that you helped us avoid a great war. ”
"It's just a small thing." Humphrey laughed.
Bolie smiled and turned to Wang Luo. "That's right, the financial officer of the two-headed vulture Kosygin has just come and wants to sell me some materials and recipes for 200,000 yuan. But in my opinion, those things are worth a hundred thousand at most. He insisted on refusing to lower the price, and said that it was your meaning, you see...."
Wang Luo looked into the distance. Phuket happened to look at it too, his expression serious and worried, and the flag of the two-headed vulture fluttered over his head.
"Buy it." Wang Luo said.
