Chapter 392: Strike War and Negotiate Peace
In the midst of the chaos, Magnetic Eye couldn't help but want to scold. As planned, after nightfall, he launched a riotous attack on the formation of the steppe. It's just that when they were bitten by the soldiers and horses of the steppe people, the two thousand main soldiers and horses of the Phantom Clan did not appear for a long time, making him completely passive. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Flying Dragon Cavalry, I'm afraid that his army might have been wiped out!
What's even more infuriating is that even after the Flying Dragon War Horse appeared, the Phantom Clan army led by the Heavenly Ghost still did not appear. After a full night of bloody fighting, Magnetic Eye and Horn Phantom had to gather their forces and retreat temporarily. It was only then that they learned that the Heavenly Ghost had been entangled with another army of the steppe for half a night, and in the end, the two armies were each damaged, and they also withdrew their troops at dawn and stopped fighting. It's just that when Magnetic Eye and Horn Phantom learned that the grassland cavalry only had 2,000 men and horses, they were so angry that they almost ran away - Lao Tzu can fight well against 10,000, you have 2,000 elites, and you have a shaman to help you in addition to the advantageous location, but in the end you only had a draw with the other party's 2,000 soldiers and horses?
However, because Chenping did not return at this time, the heavenly ghost had the support of the shaman's spirit pupil, and the magnetic eye and the horn illusion had nothing to do with him, so he could only sulk on the side. As for the Heavenly Ghost and the others, they learned that before the Horned Phantom rushed to the main battlefield, they also defeated the five thousand cavalry that attacked the Flying Dragon Valley and killed the Divine Horse. Linggong was defeated and fled, and he was secretly taken aback, unwilling to quarrel with the two of them about the performance of the war.
It is difficult to evaluate the performance of the soldiers on the battlefield, and in Lingtong's own opinion, there is nothing wrong with this battle led by the heavenly ghosts. If there is really something wrong, it can only be said that the other party's performance is too good, so that one side can not have the slightest advantage. But hear the magnetic eye say the god horse. Lingbow is the commander of the grassland army, and the five thousand cavalry under his command are the elite of the elite, and she is still defeated by the thousand flying horses of the horned illusion, and she is also interested in no longer defending the heavenly ghosts, but letting everyone wait for the patriarch to return, and discuss the next battle.
After waiting for a day and a night, Chenping and his men escaped from the swamp area and returned to their own camp. During this period, Horned Phantom defeated two more attacks by the grassland military horses, and for a while, his prestige had overpowered the Heavenly Ghost Elder, and he became the first person under the shaman and patriarch of the Phantom Clan.
After a series of battles, the people of the Phantom Clan finally understood the power of the Flying Dragon War Horse, and they respected the patriarch who tried his best to snatch the War Horse back. So when Chenping led the remnants of the army to defeat and rushed back in embarrassment, there was almost no sound of questioning, which made Chenping breathe a big sigh of relief in his heart. There is no way, among the several teams, it is his own team that has suffered the most serious losses, and he is afraid that the old people such as the heavenly ghosts will be held responsible!
The next battle became much simpler, the steppe army horses had no commander, and the military orders could not be unified. The soldiers and horses of each department went their own way, and Chenping let the horned illusion and the magnetic eye take turns harassing their camp, but they just didn't fight each other. It was only a few days of hard work, and the soldiers and horses of the grassland were tired and the military rations were insufficient, which made the morale extremely low. Even if it's a divine horse. When the spirit bow returned, it couldn't suppress the people's hearts floating at this time, and in desperation, they had no choice but to send an envoy to negotiate peace with the Phantom Clan.
Regarding the peace proposal proposed by the grassland people, the Phantom Clan almost unanimously agreed, and even the people of the main battle faction such as Chenping and Jiao Phantom did not object, after all, the situation on their side was not optimistic. But how should the terms of this peace be decided? But the people were of different opinion! Chenping means to be tough, not to mention what you get in the hands of the grassland people, at least not to be taken advantage of by the other party; However, the heavenly ghosts and others don't care too much about these, as long as the other party is willing to quit the army, it is acceptable to give the other party a little benefit.
"Why?" In Chenping's patriarch's tent, Magnetic Eye scolded angrily: "Now that we have the upper hand, as long as we fight a few more battles, it will not be difficult to annihilate the 10,000-strong army!" ”
"Don't forget that these 20,000 elite soldiers are not all the strength of the steppe people, as long as they wish, they can send ten times as many soldiers and horses; And we have already dispatched all our troops, is it really good for us to continue fighting? Chenping said a little helplessly.
"Patriarch, do you also agree with the opinion of the Heavenly Ghost?" Magnet asked a little dissatisfied.
"It's not that I agree, but there are some things that can't be helped!" Chen Ping said seriously: "It is a fact that the grassland people can't win against us, but it's also a fact that we can't face the grassland army. Naturally, there is no problem with us putting forward conditions, but if we don't meet the other party's requirements, I'm afraid they will soon send a large army again! ”
“……”
"Patriarch, there is a messenger from the steppe people outside!" Just then, someone outside said.
"Didn't you say that you would meet them tomorrow with the priests, elders, and others, why did you come to me at this time?" Chenping muttered to himself a little puzzled, and then said, "Please let him in!" ”
"What do they mean by that?" Magnet asked.
"Maybe I want to give me some benefits in private, so that I can successfully complete this peace discussion!" Chenping said with a smile.
"Is that okay?" The magnetic eye is a little unresponsive.
"What's not to do!" After thinking for a while, Chenping said: "You leave first, pretend not to know such a thing, and there will be room to turn when the clan discusses in the future!" ”
"Yes!" The magnetic eye naturally obeyed Chen Ping's words, and immediately retreated.
After a while, two foreigners, the Three-Eyed Man, were taken to Chenping's tent. But when Chenping saw the appearance of these two people, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. Sure enough, as he imagined, both of them were players - it seems that he is a player, and the players on the other side should know about it!
"You may be seated!" Chenping made a gesture of invitation, and then motioned for all his subordinates to leave, before asking, "I don't know what the two of you call it?" ”
"I'm the commander on the other side. Spirit Bow! "Divine Horse. Linggong was not polite at all, and directly found a place to sit down, pointed to another and said casually: "And this one should be no stranger, after all, you have fought once!" Wind. Spirit Dagger, undead player. ”
"It's a pity that I couldn't compete with you last time, but I must fight if I have the chance!" Wind. The spirit dagger also sat down and said defiantly.
"If there is a chance, let's talk about the purpose of your visit this time!" Chenping smiled lightly and said indifferently.
"Then let's get straight to the point!" Divine Horse. Linggong opened his mouth and said, "No matter how the peace negotiation is finally negotiated this time, I hope you understand one thing, we must take the Wyvern Warrider with us!" ”
"Hehe, are you threatening me?" When Chen Ping heard this, he immediately sneered.
"You misunderstood!" Wind. The dagger said, "He's not threatening you, because that's a condition that must be met. If he can't take the Wyvern Warhorse, then he won't be able to open a higher-level battlefield and enter the battle for supremacy in the Empire! ”
"Oh, what kind of mission?" Chenping suddenly understood.
"An S-level mission. As long as you help me with this request, I can let you join my team and participate in this mission! "Divine Horse. Linggong said seriously.
"To get to that point, you give me the bottom!" Although Chenping was not very interested, he finally asked.
"Five hundred Wyvern War Riders, that's the minimum requirement!" Divine Horse. Linggong said: "As long as you can convince the people of the Phantom Clan, I can relax the other conditions a little, and give you some benefits in private!" ”
"There's one more thing I need your help with!" Winds on the side. Spirit Dagger also said: "I lost my identity when I died last time, if I want to join this mission, I need a legal identity, I need you to help me think of a way!" ”
"I see!" Chenping smiled and said, "Do you want to be a member of the Wyvern Warhorse, or...... It's not that hard, but I hope you understand that the price is not low! ”
This squirrel. The spirit dagger can be with the god horse. Linggong came together, and he was obviously a very powerful person. If you just want an identity, it shouldn't be a problem. But when he asked to come to himself, he must not be willing to be marginalized, and naturally he wanted to become one of the necessary Wyvern Warriors in this mission!
"If only you understood! As long as you can satisfy me, naturally I don't have to let you suffer. "Tempest. The spirit dagger is also a cheerful person, and directly proposed his own reward: "There is no problem with weapons, medicines, spirit pets, combat skills, and even golden prisms!" ”
"I'm interested in your proposal, but you have to know that the people in the Phantom Race are not real NPCs, so I have to have enough reasons to convince them!" Chenping pondered for a while before he said: "And this is not a small matter, if you don't have motivation, it will be a little ...... to work."
"Hehe......" Shenju and Tempest glanced at each other, knowing that this was done, and now it was time to discuss the specific conditions, so Shenju took the lead and said: "You are an immortal player, and you received three S-rank missions when you entered the game, is there an S-rank mission 'The Secret of the Ruins'?" ”
"Yes!" Chenping glanced at the two of them suspiciously, and nodded.
"I've got people in each of the ruins, and as long as you team up with us, the team's exploration will count on you, so you can complete the exploration phase in just a day or two. As for the whereabouts of Grand Duke Oni Pupil, he will appear after the exploration is completed, and I will definitely be able to find him within a week with my manpower. And if you complete the task as a team, the reward will be much richer than that of the individual completion, and the extra reward will be one of the rewards I invited you...... "Divine Horse. Linggong's words made Chenping's eyes light up, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was not very satisfied, waiting for the other party's next step. And Shenju's words naturally did not end, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "Moreover, if you team up with us, as long as you find a key person, you can continue another S-rank mission 'Ode to the Empire'. This is a main quest to upgrade the battlefield, and your resources will be greatly increased in an instant after taking the mission, and even someone will help you find an excuse to leave! ”
"There's one more!" Wind. The spirit dagger also said: "The psychedelic ghost swamp is now in the stage of division and domination of the tribes, so there is a hidden unification mission here. This quest is at least Tier A or above, you might as well complete it first before leaving, I believe it won't take much time with our help! ”
"There's a hidden mission?" How can players who come to the game resist two S-tier and one A-tier mission? Chenping almost wanted to nod his head in agreement, but fortunately he still had a trace of sanity and didn't nod in the end.
"This is a high-grade fusion stone!" The god horse threw a piece of emerald gem and said to Chenping, "I noticed just now that your weapon is of a high level, but it is divided into two parts. This can greatly affect the power of your weapon, and this gem will solve your problem! ”
"Interesting!" Chenping took the gem and played with it.
"The game world of the brain monster does have a lot of good things, but it's a bit difficult to take things out, I can divide a 'golden space' for you evenly, so that you can take one more thing out of the game!" This time, Chenping finally couldn't help but be moved, staring at the golden card that Shenju took out of his arms.
"Now that you've negotiated, it's my turn!" Tempest said, "How about a top-of-the-line set of weapons and a piece of golden prism?" ”
"Tier A hunter is armed, body data is increased by 1.5 times, and it comes with stealth and swift shadow skills!" Chenping picked up the weapons handed over by the wind and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh that there were so many good goods in the hands of these resource players. But he was still a little unsatisfied, and asked, "Are there any special items to upgrade support skills?" ”
Now Chenping has a bunch of skill points on his body, but he can't improve those support skills. In the absence of inheritance, the skill points are useless, which makes Chenping a little helpless, so he asks the two old birds in front of him.
"This really won't help you!" Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but shake their heads and said, "Skill points are easy to get, and we don't have a hundred or dozens of points on our bodies, but this auxiliary inheritance is really hard to find." There are also a lot of low-level support skills in our clan, but high-level ones are hard to get, let alone top-level ones! ”
"So be it! I'll give you two more upgrade stones and a flask, what do you think? Tempest thought for a moment and added, "Although this thing requires an equipment upgrade technique to use, it is not difficult to find an intermediate equipment refiner!" ”
"Oh!" When Chenping heard this, he suddenly came to his senses. Listening to the meaning of Hurricane's words, it seems that high-level equipment refiners are still quite rare?
"How?" Seeing that the fire was almost over, the god horse asked.
"Well, I promised!" Chenping also felt that he couldn't be too greedy, so he agreed: "But who is the key person in the mission you just mentioned?" ”
"You shouldn't be a stranger to it, it's the head of the guild branch next to you. As soon as you go to him again and show your intention to leave, he should talk to you about the mission! Tempest said.
"It's him!" When Chenping heard this, he immediately understood. It seems that the last incident about the Ming Shang Kingdom was the beginning of this mission.
The supreme leaders of the two sides of the peace talks have formed a tacit understanding, then the general direction of the peace talks has been determined, and all that remains is a detailed negotiation of conditions. Magnetic Eye and Horn Phantom are both newly promoted elders, and they don't have much right to speak, and under the auspices of Chenping and Heavenly Ghost, the opinions within the tribe have quickly been unified, so everything has become logical.
