Chapter 104: Negotiating Terms
More than two hundred kilometers downstream from the Knights Hospitaller, on the northern edge of the riverbank forest, by the small lake where Bai Qi had rested.
A few fawns were drinking by the lake, when they suddenly raised their heads in alarm and looked north.
In the grasslands far to the north, a rumbling sound like thunder was faintly heard.
The rumbling sound gradually became stronger, and after just a few minutes, it was already shocking, it was the sound of a group of horses crashing.
Getting closer, the stronger and stronger sound of horses' hooves caused the animals by the small lake to scatter and flee into the depths of the forest in the blink of an eye.
A group of hundreds of horsemen rushed up the hillside from the grassland in the north and rushed into the forest without hesitation.
The first rider, not tall but very well-proportioned, approached the lake, he gently pulled the reins to slow the horse down, and when he reached the lake, the horse stopped and showed great riding skills.
The riders behind him were also extraordinary, unhurried, and controlled the horses in a uniform manner.
This group of riders was none other than Bai Qi and his mercenaries.
Bai Qi did not dismount, and after hurriedly ordering everyone to set up camp, he motioned to Adrian and Barrian, and the three ran to the other side of the small lake.
Bai Qi motioned to Adrian, and now he could contact the Knights Hospitaller.
Adrian immediately opened the character panel and sent a communication request to the Knights Hospitaller's team leader in this mission space, the Silver Hand.
After waiting for about four or five seconds, the other party accepted the request.
The price of remote paid communication in the mission space is very expensive, and even with Bai Qi's financial resources they can't afford it for a long time, so. Adrian speaks the fastest and most concise language. He said what Bai Qi meant, and then asked, "Your Excellency the Silver Hand." Is my expression clear, and do you have any questions? ”
The Silver Hand shook his head.
Adrian said, "Then please consider our terms, and in order to avoid disputes, as long as the 'Tiger Teeth', the 'Prophets', the 'Amazons', the 'Kunlun', the 'Vikings', and your 'Knights Hospitaller' sign an agreement with us." We will immediately tell you what we know, and hand over to you a wolf cavalry commander captive equivalent to the level of a human great samurai, we only ask for a team leader position, and do not seek command, please consider it, and then contact me. ”
Bai Qi watched Adrian simply cut off the communication as his voice fell, and couldn't help asking, "How is it, is the other party interested?" ”
Adrian said with a hint of excitement: "With my understanding of the Silver Hand, it is very likely that the other party will agree to our conditions. For a large temporary team of more than 800 people, there are eight team leader slots, and five times the number of team leader slots, as the discoverer of the task. We ask for a team leader, which makes perfect sense, and we don't want command. There are no better conditions than this. ”
"The hand of silver is strong and just. His prestige in the Knights Hospitaller was only slightly inferior to that of a few lieutenants, and he was not afraid to offend the woman Sophia. So he didn't have any worries about working with us. ”
"As long as the five large teams agreed to our request, the tiger would never dare to go against their will."
Bai Qi was infected by Adrian's affection, and he couldn't help but smile.
When the three returned to the camp, the indigenous warriors had already lit a bonfire, and most of them were sitting in front of the fire very tired. Several of the Native warriors who had been wounded before and had been healed by healing scrolls and healing potions had even fallen asleep in the grass.
Although the effect of the healing scroll and healing potion is immediate, the recovery of the wound requires a large amount of body and nutrients to consume the injured person, which will make people extremely tired.
This morning, after interrogating the wolf rider commander, Bai Qi immediately announced that a large number of orcs would soon go south to join the battle, and they must do everything possible to avoid the edge.
The indigenous warriors had originally guessed that the wolf cavalry they had just exterminated was the vanguard of an army, and as soon as Bai Qi said, everyone was immediately convinced, and instead of urging him, everyone galloped all the way with two horses, and it only took four hours to return to the small lake where they had rested before.
Bai Qi ordered a dozen warriors who had been dissatisfied with the previous battle to strangle the wolf riders, and ordered some of them to go hunting some game in the forest, and some of them hung up iron pots and boiled water to prepare for cooking.
Before each battle, Bai Qi would turn on the camera function of the soldier's insignia, leaving a holographic image of each battle, and the appearance of these indigenous warriors, of course, could not escape his eyes.
The natives who were named by name looked at the other people who were named and vaguely understood Bai Qi's intention of asking them to work.
The astonishing insight that Bai Qi showed in this way surprised both the Messiah and Ushtu.
For the Chosen Warriors, hunting is a very simple thing, but cooking is very difficult for them.
Bai Qi gestured slightly, and Barian took over the cooking, he commanded a few warriors to wash and peel the prey, cut off the fat and tender parts, put them in a pot to cook, and put the rest on a wooden stick and roasted on the fire.
Later, Barian asked a few warriors to go to the lake under the big tree to pick a lot of mushrooms and come back, use the "Detect Poison" spell to pick out the poisonous mushrooms and throw them away, wash and tear the non-poisonous mushrooms and put them in the broth.
As the flames roasted and the broth boiled, the fragrance gradually permeated the real camp, and the warriors who were lying and resting by the fire couldn't help but sit up, and the camp gradually became a little more vibrant.
Bai Qi smiled at the focused and busy Barrian, and couldn't help but show a smile.
No matter what Barian does, even if it is a trivial matter, he will be extremely focused, and he has a subtle insight that ordinary people do not have, no matter what comes into his hands, he will do it perfectly.
But this guy's EQ is really low enough, he can't tell the difference between jokes and serious conversations, sometimes your casual joke can make him think for a long time, and when he really can't figure it out, when he comes back to ask you, it will make you inexplicable.
Now when Bai Qi was talking to Barrian, he had begun to habitually become very strict.
The aroma of the food became stronger and stronger, not only did the indigenous warriors swallow their saliva, but even Bai Qi couldn't help but look forward to it slightly.
At this moment, a cold electronic voice suddenly sounded in Bai Qi's mind.
"Sergeant Tiger used the Glory Hunt Order on you!"
At the same time, a simple map appeared out of thin air on the white face, on the left side of the map, a small red dot was marked on the upper reaches of a large river, and downstream, not far from the shore, a small green dot was marked.
Looking at the distance between the two sides and the proportion of the width of the river, Bai Qi couldn't help but smile playfully.
Seeing Bai Qi's expression change, Adrian asked, "What?" Did the Tiger really use the Glory Hunt order on you? ”
Bai Qi nodded, Adrian let out a sigh and said, "It's good that you are careful, otherwise we will lose a lot." ”
Bai Qi thought for a while, and sneered slightly: "If the Silver Hand replies within an hour, then you will complain to the other party about the fact that we were tracked by the Glory Hunt Order just now, ask the other party to use the position of a detachment leader as compensation, and ask to sign a peace agreement with the Huya team in this space, the first condition can be negotiated and retreated, but the second condition must be insisted on, I think, those big teams will definitely put pressure on the tiger for their own interests, unless the tiger withdraws from this challenge mission." However, if Tiger withdraws and loses his interests, the temporary team he has managed to organize will fall apart, and he will not be able to pose a threat to us in this mission space. ”
Adrian thought about it and couldn't help but admire in his heart, Bai Qi's step was completely a conspiracy, forcing the tiger to bow his head.
She asked again, "What if the other party doesn't reply within an hour?" ”
Hearing her question, Bai Qi's face sneered, became a little dignified, and said, "That means that the other party already has other ideas and doesn't need our news anymore." If something like this happens, you take the initiative to contact the other person and tell him the message for free. ”
Adrian couldn't help but be surprised, "Why?" ”
Bai Qi said: "In any case, it is beneficial to us to be able to complete the challenge task, and we have to do things that are beneficial, and those who are going to lose both sides at every turn will be cheaper than a third party in the end, we don't do this kind of person." ”
Speaking of this, Bai Qi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I think, this possibility is very small." ”
Bai Qi guessed correctly, before the duration of the Glory Hunt Order was over, Adrian received a communication request from the Silver Hand.
She immediately followed Bai Qi's instructions and complained to the other party about the Huya team's use of the Glory Chase Order, and demanded compensation.
The Silver Hand was not surprised by Adrian's complaint, and it was clear that the Tiger's use of the Glory Hunt Order should have been greeted in advance and had obtained some kind of permission.
The Silver Hand didn't even bother to hide this, which showed that Bai Qi was insignificant in the eyes of a character like the Silver Hand.
The Silver Hand had apparently figured out what to do before the communication, and he unceremoniously rejected Adrian's first request, agreeing to her second.
Under Bai Qi's hint, Adrian agreed to the other party's plan without too much entanglement.
After negotiating the terms, the Silver Hand used the meeting mode of the Soldier Emblem communication function to pull the leaders of the other four large teams and the Tiger into the communication, and the seven parties signed two contracts on the spot, including giving Bai Qi a position as team leader, and a peace agreement with the Huya team.
The treaty was signed, and Adrian immediately sent the information in his hand to the six team leaders. (To be continued......)
