Chapter 92: Compromise

Now, the plan has reached its final step. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's time for it to end.

Skirting the exhausted Inca warriors, Magellan quietly descended a steep slope before stopping in front of Franci's barracks.

"I'm here for peace!"

This sentence did not stop the Francie soldiers who wanted to kill him, what saved Magellan from death was the distance he had carefully calculated, just enough for the Francie soldiers not to want to come out and do it, and enough for them to hear what Magellan was saying.

Soon, Morningstar walked out of the barracks gate alone.

"I should say that I am not surprised at all, just when your companions are fighting to the death for honor, you have only thought about surrender from the beginning, you and I are very clear, Magellan. ”

"I brought peace. ”

"If we want peace, we will take it ourselves, and peace is not something that anyone can carry in their hands. ”

Completely ignoring the contempt and provocation of the Morning Star, Magellan knew that now was the time for the victor to show humility - and that victor was himself.

"I offer to the King of the World everything she wants, and you, honorable lady, can take whatever you want. ”

"Has anyone ever told you that your perfect manners are disgusting with that sheer self-righteousness?"

"I apologize for the unpleasantness caused to you, and if there is anything that compensates you, I will be glad to hand it over. ”

"Put away your hypocritical flattery, I don't want anything but your life, and you don't have anything. ”

"And what about this fortress?"

"Don't repeat the nonsense that you and I both know, I will not accept surrender, after you have killed so many brave warriors, all that fortress can do is wait for the day when the city will be slaughtered. All the people you want to save, must die. ”

"The king of the world won't want this to happen......"

"So you're so good at telling jokes......"

Morningstar unceremoniously interrupted Magellan, who was flawless even with a sneer.

Then Magellan interrupted her even more unceremoniously: "Because of you." ”

"Me?"

"It is not in the honor of a military man to slaughter an enemy who has surrendered, and the king of the world will not tolerate such a disgrace on the back of her left hand. ”

"Surrender? no one surrenders, except for you, the shameless villain who betrayed your comrades, Magellan, look, what are the Inca warriors in the fortress doing......?

Morningstar shook his head and didn't continue.

"This is their only chance to live, and besides, they can follow the Emperor and continue to fight, right?"

Despite Magellan's bland remarks, Morningstar knew that the long-ordained negotiations had finally come to the really important part. To her great frustration, Magellan already had a decisive piece of information.

Yes, the resistance of the Incas was not yet complete, there were at least a dozen such fortresses in the mountains, and their emperor even had a large territory and a large army in his hands.

This was not enough for Magellan not to surrender, but it did inspire the remaining Inca warriors in the fortress to fight until the last moment, which is what Morningstar tried to avoid, and which is the real reason for this negotiation.

"Are you trying to persuade me to spare my enemies so that they can continue to be my enemies?"

"Sometimes, in order to achieve a more important goal, one always has to give up something else. ”

Morningstar's heart was still full of frustration, she didn't know why Magellan was so sure, but when the negotiation was more prerequisites for the existence of the Inca Empire, the result that Morningstar wanted could not be achieved, and she could only compromise.

Despite the fact that compromise is the essence of all negotiations in the world, Morningstar still wants more.

"You still haven't told me anything really useful. You want to surrender because you know that the fortress is about to fall, and you all have to be buried together, so what reason do I have to accept this surrender?"

"Time. ”

Morningstar sighed inwardly, she could only watch everything fall unstoppably into the abyss like a boulder that had slid off a cliff.

When this most important premise is present, this negotiation will no longer be able to enter the orbit that Morningstar wants.

The frustration in her heart did not come from this defeat, but from underestimating Magellan, and although it was something that no one could have foreseen in advance, Morningstar still felt that she should have discovered the important information that would determine the outcome of the war earlier.

"You've spent too much time in front of this fortress, it's time to put an end to it, even if this is the only ...... left," Magellan reached out behind him and pointed to the fortress, "The tired, bruised soldiers joining the ranks of the Incas, they can't cause much trouble to Francie, and these same people, with the determination to die, stand in the fortress, every second of their life is undermining the dignity of the king of the world." ”

"You seem to have been thinking about me all the time, so have you ever thought about a question," Morningstar knew that all her efforts now were just a dying throbe that was doomed to failure, "and what reason do I have to spare you compared to these warriors?"

"I'm not Francie's enemy......"

"You're a Bretonian, and you're single-handedly deciding the course of a war, and that's enough. ”

"Then we have come to a consensus that Francie accepts the surrender of the Inca troops in this fortress and guarantees the lives of everyone but me, right?"

Morningstar didn't expect Magellan to push the negotiations to the point of the final showdown so suddenly, she unconsciously wanted to refute, but finally gave up, both sides knew very well what they had with the other, and the result was impossible to change.

"There's no way we're going to let go of the Eagle's Nest. ”

The rest was a trivial, and neither of them wanted to waste any more time, and the conditions were quickly decided.

"The eaglemen only want the eagle's nest, they are not Bretanians. ”

"You can't reveal to anyone what happened here, it's a military secret. ”

"When I want to keep secrets, I'm pretty good at it. ”

"You don't have a sense of belonging to Brittany......"

"If nothing else," Magellan dodged the question, "I'm going back to the fortress to convince the warriors, the sooner the better, you think so, right?"

Morningstar gave a perfect smile that made his heart beat faster: "Of course. ”

"Goodbye. ”

Magellan turned and walked up the hillside.

The warriors of the Incas were already waiting for him there.

"You ......"

Standing among the warriors, Tonan wanted to ask Magellan what he had talked about with Morningstar, but when he spoke, he found that he didn't know what to say.
