Sissel has always believed that negotiation and haggling are sometimes about the same...... It's not even much different from the method of deception.

There is only one real difference, that is, the scammer does business without capital, while the negotiation does business with capital, and both sides will have to pay and gain, but it is just the difference between who pays more and gains less.

All in all, the initial intimidation, followed by the analysis of the pros and cons, and the guidance of the other person's thinking, often succeeds.

At least against this kind of earth bun lord, the success rate is not low.

“...... As long as you nod your head now, then my lord will come to your aid from hundreds of miles away to help you protect this territory.

If you insist on refusing, maybe my family will help recover the lost territory when he comes up!"

Sissel made an exaggerated gesture, waving his arms.

If you look at it alone, this action seems to be a little funny, but combined with his words, every wave of his hand is really like smashing into the heart of the Baron of the Trough.

"If, by the time you get here, you have already repelled the monster by your own strength, then the lord will retire as long as you provide food for his army for a day, which is not too expensive for His Excellency the Baron, right?

But if the monster is fierce and something happens, my lord can lend a hand - and then a fair reward will be much better than if you lose two-thirds of your land.

If more than ten generations of ancestors lose two-thirds of the land they have won in the hands of one generation, then they really have no face to enter the kingdom of God to see their ancestors, right?"

Sissel bowed and said, "I hope you will think carefully about your proposal for the sake of your family's reputation, territory, and people."

In fact, as of today, my lord has broken four nests in a row, and the total reward he has received is more than one knight's collar.

However, the strength of the monarch is also limited, and it is impossible to take on the task of sheltering seven or eight baronies at one time, so he can only pick and choose, and the price is high, and the first to come, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"The rise and fall of the Barony in the Trough is now in your hands!"

With that, Sissel bowed again, placed the letter on the table, and turned to leave.

"Wait!" cried the baron.

A wave of ecstasy welled up in his heart when he heard such a voice from behind him, but he tried to suppress it, and still turned away with a calm face and a little business-like smile.

"Sure enough, the baron is very intelligent, and he will naturally not refuse such a good thing, right?"

Since the other party agreed, it is natural to give him a step down.

Although it was early spring and the snow had not yet melted, a house was already lit by a raging fire.

There were several corpses lying across the road, some monsters gnawing on the corpses, others dragging the corpses far away.

"It's miserable. ”

Looking at the scenery in front of him, Luo Ming snorted coldly: "Follow me!"

He took the lead, rode a war horse in paper armor, and rushed down the hillside.

A super long sword with a total of 1.7 meters in his hand pierced like a spear, instantly piercing through the head of a monster and cutting it in half.

Then he turned his horse's head, slashed another monster, and left where he was—and at once three monsters swooped down at the same time, only to miss, and one of them was struck by the horse's hind hooves and flew upside down.

He let go of the reins, his legs between his legs on the horse's belly, his upper body falling backwards, his sword grazing over the shoulders of a monster that pounced on the horse.

In the next moment, he straightened his waist again, and the long sword swirled in his hand, faintly flashing with brilliance.

Almost instantly, three monsters fell to the ground at the same time, one was separated from its head, one was dissected and dying, only one was still alive, but it also had a front paw that was cut off by the shoulder, and it could only lie on the ground, unable to stand up again.

"Sure enough!" he laughed.

It is no wonder that knights have changed from a noun that originally referred specifically to elite cavalry to a special term for a title.

In Luo Ming's series of actions just now, the strength and fighting spirit he used definitely did not exceed the standard of a normal high-level swordsman. If it is a normal high-level swordsman, he will be surrounded by monsters and annihilated after the initial power, but as long as there is a war horse, he can move in freely without expending his own physical strength.

Sitting on a horse and being condescending is also an advantage in itself.

At the same time, the first squadron of the Flame Legion was already in battle.

Riding Luo Ming to take the lead in the group of monsters, they lined up in a neat spear formation, and marched forward in unison with the shouts of the officers!

After killing a few more times, seeing that the war horse under the seat was a little tired and slightly injured, Luo Ming retreated.

After ten seconds, the sound of artillery fire sounded on the side of the battlefield, and hundreds of lead bullets crossed a distance of less than 100 meters in one second and bombarded into the group of monsters, and five monsters fell in an instant, and several more were injured.

Then, the spear array was already approaching in front of them, and some of the monsters pounced on it head-on and were pierced by the spears, and some went around in both directions, but there were people waiting there.

Although these monsters are much stronger than those encountered the day before yesterday, they are still at the level of miscellaneous soldiers in essence, and the number has not reached the level of quantitative change causing qualitative change, and now they can only be run over.

Ten minutes later, all the shouts had calmed down.

There were only more than thirty monsters in total, and they were killed by Luo Ming and ate the cannons, and the rest did not bring any casualties to the first squadron.

After instructing the militia to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of the people half rested or dealt with their injuries, and half remained vigilant, Luo Ming led a small group of people into a large mansion.

The mansion was the residence of the lord of the place, a knight, and it was relatively sturdy, and it also had some guards. Before Luo Ming arrived, there were already some monster corpses near the mansion.

However, they did not dare to go out to fight...... To put it mildly, this can already be considered a standard for lost ground.

Luo Ming wondered why the knight would take the risk of losing ground and huddle in his room without going out.

"I'm sorry, but my lord has died in battle.

I beg your mercy, I am willing to give one-third of my land and ask for your refuge. ”

The young mother, who was holding a five-year-old child, heard his question and bowed her head to him in tears.

It turned out that after the lord of this place found out that several of his lords had been taken captive by monsters, he took his own force and led a few people to track down the monsters.

That knight has the strength of a high-level swordsman and is still wearing iron armor, so he is generally fine, even if he deals with a dozen monsters, he is not afraid to get out.

But he was led into a crater by the monsters, fell to the ground, and the monsters rushed up to hold him down, slowly peeling off his armor and biting him to death.

The rest of the people were also killed and wounded, and in the end only three escaped.
