Alente did not break his promise, and shortly after Queen Kangsheng returned to the home planet of the Arctic Clan, more than 10,000 captured members of the Arctic Clan royal family were sent back. Because the other clansmen were still in the hands www.biquge.info of the enemy, Queen Kangsheng did not publicize this matter, and even restricted the movement of these royal family members.

Of course, Allient also made new demands.

"That's it?"

"I don't know why he made such a request, but it must have had a big impact, so I wrote it all down, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that."

Queen Kangsheng nodded slightly, lowered her head and pondered, and didn't ask any more questions.

The one who brought the news back was Queen Kangsheng's sister and Princess Yarrow of the Extreme Realm, the Duchess of Aurela. Because she is a core member of the royal family of the Extreme Realm, Aurela has many titles, Yarrow Star is her fief, and the Duchess is the title given to her by Queen Kangsheng after she ascended the throne. In addition, she was the front-line president of the Arctic Clan, and before that was in charge of all transport ships. After the Extreme Realm officially entered the war, she organized a breakout operation, allowing many stranded transport ships to return to the southern region smoothly. It was only when she was about to return from the northern region that she was intercepted, because most of the warships were sent to cover the withdrawal of the fleet, so she was not able to break through smoothly. After a desperate resistance, Aurela decided to surrender, as there were thousands of Arctic warriors around her.

According to Aurella, they weren't mistreated, at least at least members of the Extreme Realm royal family like her were treated well, but they lost their freedom of movement. Of course, she was also the commander of the prisoner of war camp she was in, and the spiritual leader of the other captured Extreme Realm warriors.

Aurela brought back the news that Alente had asked the Arctic to exchange small fast ships for prisoners of war, and offered a fair price in Alente's words. That is, ten prisoners of war were exchanged for each small fast ship, and they were traded on the spot. To put it simply, when the Alente sent the prisoners of war back, the escorts left in the small fast warships that were exchanged. Alente also asked Aurela to remind Queen Cornsheng that he would return the first batch of 100,000 Arctic prisoners of war in five days, so Queen Cornson would have to prepare 10,000 small fast ships before then. If he is not ready, he will execute 100,000 Arctic prisoners of war and deliver their bodies to Queen Kangsheng. However, this is not the end of the matter. According to Allient, Queen Kangsheng still had to hand over 10,000 small fast ships and leave them piloted by a second group of escorts. Otherwise, he would execute 100,000 Arctic prisoners of war every five days and return them to the Arctic Clan's home planet until Queen Kangsheng succumbed.

Apparently, Allient was not joking.

The point is, Alente gave Aurela two lists, each with the names of 100,000 prisoners of war. This means that the POWs on one of the lists will return to the Extreme Realm home planet after five days, and the fate of the POWs on the other list will be decided after five days. Queen Kangsheng had the Elder check the two lists, confirming that the 200,000 Extreme Warriors on the lists were all on the missing list.

Of course, judging from the situation, it is clear that Alente will not joke about such an important matter.

Not just Queen Kangsheng, but all the elders believed that Alente would definitely do what he said, and not just a threat, that the Extreme Realm would have to start preparing a small fast ship.

For the Extreme Realm, 10,000 small fast ships were obviously not much.

Of course, exchanging a small fast spaceship for ten clansmen will not suffer. You must know that those captured Extreme Warriors are all adults, and they are in the prime of life, as long as they survive, the value they have created must be far greater than that of a small fast spaceship. What's more, many things related to the clan cannot be measured in value, at least it is impossible for Queen Kangsheng to abandon these clansmen who have made great contributions to the Extreme Realm Clan, and even fought bloody, for the sake of some small fast spaceships, otherwise she will not be able to gain the support of other clansmen. Moreover, it was the only way to get her people back safely so far, even if it violated many of Queen Kangsheng's principles, and she had no other choice, in fact, she didn't even have a chance to bargain with Allente.

There was only one choice before Queen Kangsheng, which was to either accept the conditions offered by Alente or reject them.

Of course, all the elders think it's acceptable. Even if it is difficult to save all the people in this way, it is a good thing that some of them can be saved.

It's just that Queen Kangsheng didn't make an immediate decision.

If there is no other choice, preparing 10,000 small fast ships is obviously not a problem, it will not take five days at all. After the Extreme Realm officially entered the war, Queen Kangsheng issued a mobilization order and issued some bans. Up to now, most of the small fast ships of the Extreme Realm are on standby in their home star system, or in the nearby star system, and Queen Kangsheng can requisition these small fast ships at any time if needed.

Of course, there are definitely quite a few of them, and 10,000 of them may not even be a fraction.

According to the statistics submitted by the Council of Elders, there are more than a million small fast ships on standby in the home star system at this time, and more than half of them have completed the necessary maintenance and are ready to sail at any time. In addition, there are several times as many small fast ships in the nearby star system, a third of which are maintained, in a working state, and all have crews, that is, they can come to the home star system at any time.

The question is, to give in?

Alente had made it clear that a batch of prisoners of war would be exchanged every five days, so that the Extreme Realm would be able to deliver small fast ships at a rate of 10,000 every five days.

Obviously, this is something that must be considered.

After consulting with the elders and getting a collective decision from the Council of Elders, Queen Kangsheng contacted Yu Minghui to ask for Yu Minghui's opinion.

"Ten thousand every five days?"

Queen Kangsheng nodded and said, "This is what Alente told Aurela personally, but it may not be certain, and there may be variables. Of course, Alrente's request is proof that our previous actions have paid off, and that he has not been able to secure enough small fast ships to complete the deployment as planned. Besides, he didn't expect it to be related to us, at least not to us of the Extreme Realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made this request to us. We now have enough small fast ships that we can sustain a while if we can't get all the POWs back, which is to buy us more time. According to our previous judgment, Alente needs at least hundreds of millions of small fast ships to complete the early deployment, and at the rate of 10,000 ships every five days, it takes 50,000 days to obtain so many small fast ships, so the impact should not be very big in the short term. ”

"So, you've decided to trade small fast ships for prisoners of war?"

"We have no other choice."

"That's true, Alliente is not joking, you can only agree. It's just that I don't think things are as simple as you think. ”

"What else?"

"So many civilizations have recently declared limited neutrality, and most of the ships sent out by them have not reached the Northern Regions, even if Alente is a simple-minded orc, he can think that it must have something to do with your Extreme Realm. If nothing else, at least our Human Federation can't keep the civilizations in the Eastern Region and the Western Region neutral, only you Extreme Realm have the ability to do so. ”

"This ......"

"Obviously, as long as the Alentes sent someone to investigate, they will be able to know that the Arctic Clan keeps these civilizations neutral, mainly by not allowing them to provide small fast ships. Don't forget, you've had all the small fast ships back before that, and they're concentrated in your home star system. It can even be said that Alente already knew this. If these small fast ships are scattered throughout the Southern Regions, even if you give the order now, they won't be able to return to their home star system within five days, and they won't be able to exchange prisoners of war. Relying on these clues, it is not difficult to make accurate inferences. In other words, Alente had long known about the actions taken by the Extreme Realm. ”

Queen Kangsheng sighed secretly, and Yu Minghui's analysis made her unable to refute.

"Since we're in control of a small fast ship, it's not hard for Alente to think that we've guessed his intentions and are taking action. Why, then, did he offer you at this time to exchange prisoners of war for small fast ships, and could he have concluded that you would necessarily agree? If yes, then why didn't he bring it up when you went to see him, but asked Aurela to bring it to you? ”

"This ......"

"What's more, asking for a small fast ship from the Arctic at this time is tantamount to telling us that their actions have been affected and cannot be completed within the scheduled timeframe. Obviously, that's what you're starting to make as a deduction as well. If you were Alliente, would you do this kind of revealing thing? In other words, even if the threat succeeds, Allente will have to consider the resulting variables, because it is obviously impossible for us to give up everything and let him destroy the Southern Alpha system without interference just because of the prisoners of war of the Polar Race and the Human Federation. As long as we see through this problem, not only will we not be able to agree, but we will also act in advance based on this finding. ”

"You mean ......"

"At the very least, we're now more sure we'll be able to rescue the Extreme Realm prisoners of war."

Queen Kangsheng frowned, then nodded slightly, and let Yu Minghui continue.

"Besides, Alliente only made a request to you, but did not contact us or make a similar request to us. Although there are not many human prisoners of war, if he wants to buy time, he will not be able to exclude us, and he will have to make us submit by threats. Otherwise, his threats to you will lose their value after we take action. Don't forget, 10,000 ships in five days is not too fast, even surprisingly slow. Arrente obviously wouldn't expect us to wait until 50,000 days before attacking. ”

Yu Minghui said this, to be precise, the last sentence, which made Queen Kangsheng suddenly wake up.
