Chapter 821: City Break (4)
The city of Fetahaba covers an extremely large area. Even if Princess Elisari gave the order to surrender, it would not be easy to spread the word to every corner of the city in the chaos of the city, and even if the more than 40 million people in the city were all standing in place for the dark elves to capture, it would take a long time, and the only thing Princess Elisari could do during this time was to pray for her people.
Aledia did not break her promise, after the dinner party for Princess Elisalie, she canceled the previous order, and changed it to "as long as the residents of the city do not resist, do not kill innocents", and finally waited until the dark elves completely controlled the entire city, a total of more than 35 million captives were captured, considering that more than half of them were slaves of the Rakshasa Demon themselves, the members of the Rakshasa Demon Clan only lost more than one million when the city was broken, this number made Princess Elisali finally breathe a sigh of relief.
According to the practice of the other world, as long as the Rakshasa Demon quickly sends an envoy to negotiate with Aledia, and pays a sufficient price, at least more than seventy percent of these Rakshasa Demons who have become captives can be redeemed at the first time, and the rest depends on what kind of damage they have caused to the dark elf warriors in this war, for example, although the acting city lord Faisal has not stained the blood of any dark elf warriors in his hands, but the city of Fetahaba he presided over has sent a large amount of supplies to the front line, and it is impossible for the dark elves to let him go on this alone。
So the dark elves who attacked the city lord's mansion only brought back a cold corpse, this acting city lord Faisal had already committed suicide before, looking at Faisal's corpse, Princess Elisalie suddenly had an impulse in her heart, she wanted to do her best to protect these people, so she found Aledia, and said to the latter: "Lady Aledia, I want to negotiate with you on behalf of the Rakshasa Demon about the ransom, I hope to redeem the Rakshasa demon captured by the dark elves in this war." ”
"I refuse!" Aledia said in a very clear tone, "I believe that Your Royal Highness the princess yourself knows very well that you are not suitable for such a duty as a guest here at this time, even if we can reach an agreement, the Rakshasa Demon can refuse it according to the principle of diplomacy." ”
"I know it's not a matter of diplomacy, but I want to say that I'm willing to redeem them with my personal wealth, and that my father has no right to do so. Princess Elisari quickly explained: "I believe that with the output of my territory, I should be able to afford this amount of money, and as for my own fate or stay, I will decide after the last Rakshasa demon clan has left safely." ”
Aledia looked at Princess Elisalie, and she saw a resolute look in the latter's eyes, so Aledia nodded in agreement: "Okay, the Rakshasa Demon has a good princess who is sympathetic to her people, but I wonder if Her Royal Highness's negotiations only involve these captives in Fetahaba City, or if it includes all the Rakshasa Demons captured by our dark elves?"
"Of course......" Princess Elisari almost blurted out, but in the end she forcibly held back, with her financial resources, it was no problem to redeem these Rakshasa demon people in Fetahaba City, but if this number included the people in the entire Fetahab territory, Princess Elisari would not be able to do it, she just shook her head helplessly, and said in a weaker voice: " Of course, I hope to free all my people from suffering, but it is certainly not enough for me alone, so I want my chief of guard to return first, so that I can raise enough funds in the shortest possible time. ”
Aledia thought about it for a while, and agreed to Princess Elisali's request, and then the chief of the guard left on his own after receiving some careful advice from Princess Elisalie, in order to ensure safety, Aledia did not allow her to use the teleportation magic array of Fetahaba City, she had to rely on herself to go to the nearest other city of the Rakshasa demon, and then return to Princess Elisali's territory through the teleportation magic array there, the whole process would be delayed for about half a month because of the lack of use of the teleportation magic array, and the dark elves would have already bypassed the Three Peaks Fortress and left here。
The day after Princess Elisali's chief guard left, the Dark Elf army began to move again, but in half a month, the entire city of Fetahaba was completely emptied, and the nearly 20 million slaves captured from the city came in handy here, and the unimaginable wealth was loaded into vehicles from the city of Fetahaba, bypassing the Three Peaks Fortress and marching in the direction of the Dark Elf territory, the length of the entire queue exceeded a thousand kilometers, and the number of dark elf warriors in charge of escorting exceeded a million.
The war between the Dark Elves and the Rakshasa Demon has come to an end, and now is the time for the Dark Elves to find a way to maximize the benefits they have achieved, not only Aledia's descendants are transporting supplies and prisoners, but the private soldiers of the various Dark Elf families who are working together are also doing the same thing, and the last Rakshasa demon army in the territory of Fetahab has laid down its arms in the city of Fetahaba and has become a prisoner, and no one can stop what is happening in this land.
When the dark elf army withdrew from the empty city of Fetahaba, the negotiations between Aledia and Princess Elisalie officially began, and the final decision reached between them will affect the fate of more than 80 million Rakshasa demon people, not all of these people were captured in Fetahaba City, but the dark elf army was caught one after another after stepping into the territory of the Rakshasa demon and then imprisoned, because the Rakshasa demon never asked about the mercenaries of the race, so in the territory of the Rakshasa demon, as well as those of the Rakshasa demon Chamber of Commerce, there will be more members of other racesAs a result, the total number of captives captured by the Dark Elves was unprecedentedly at over 500 million, not including three times as many slaves.
In terms of real value, such a huge number of captives have long surpassed Princess Elisali, the territory of Fetahab has been almost destroyed by the dark elves, there are not enough Rakshasa demons to rebuild here, I am afraid it will be difficult to recover in a few hundred years, if you give up redeeming these Rakshasa captives, and use a large number of members of other races in the process of construction, it will be quite detrimental to the future rule of this region, so Elisari would rather sacrifice herself and must save these people.
For these reasons, the negotiation between Aledia and Princess Elisaly was simply a one-sided situation, and it was impossible for the Rakshasa Demons not to save their compatriots who had become captives, and let these people become slaves of the Dark Elves, so no matter what conditions the Dark Elves offered, they could only grit their teeth and accept it. Fortunately, Aledia didn't go too far, she had already gained enough rewards in this war, and all she had to do now was to delay the resurgence of the Rakshasa as long as possible, and the easiest way to do so was to continue to weaken her opponent in terms of numbers and financial resources.
In order to achieve this goal, Aledia announced in the negotiation with Princess Elisari that the captured captives would be divided into several grades, and the third tier would be all frail and elderly, and these people would not have any effect if they stayed, so she simply allowed the Rakshasa Demon Princess to redeem them with gold coins at one time. The second level is the more useful young Rakshasa demons, who will be used to serve in labor to build the newly occupied land of the dark elves, these people do not accept gold coins as ransom, but are provided by the rakshasa demons with rare resources of various strategic levels, and even help the dark elves build the newly occupied land before they are released as a reward for construction. As for the strongest and most potential Rakshasa demons, they will be permanently detained, of course, this part of the dark elves will not admit it, and the names of these Rakshasa demon personnel are not included in the list of redeemable persons they have announced.
Princess Elisari naturally couldn't get a detailed list of people in the Fetahab area, so she could only negotiate with the list of captives provided by the dark elves, the price of those Rakshasa demon people in the third tier was very cheap, Princess Elisari only needed to pay three times the price of young and strong slaves to redeem them, these personnel have been cleared out by the dark elves and imprisoned, as long as the ransom of the Rakshasa demon is in place, they can leave at any time.
The negotiation was the most difficult and the most divisive, naturally concentrated on the second tier of those lists, Princess Elisari strongly opposed Aledia's conditions, but in the end she had no choice but to agree to the conditions of the dark elves, but in order to prevent the heavy labor from causing irreparable damage to her own people, Elisali proposed that the Rakshasa demon provide three times as many young and strong slaves for free to replace the work of these Rakshasa captives, and as long as the slaves were in place, the dark elves would release these Rakshasa captives.
Aledia agreed to the first half of the proposal, the dark elves needed enough labor anyway, and it didn't matter if they were underground gnomes or rakshasas, it didn't conflict with her previous assumptions. However, Aledia refused to release the captives in advance, saying that the area could be subdivided, and any of the territories could be built to achieve the purpose of releasing the Rakshasa captives imprisoned in this area, otherwise these Rakshasa captives would have to be under the control of the dark elves, and any attempt to rescue or escape without permission would be punished with the bloodiest punishment.
Princess Elisari could only choose to compromise in the end and agreed to Aledia's conditions, of course, this kind of negotiation is only an intentional negotiation in terms of the overall situation, and the specific details will definitely wait for the professional diplomatic negotiation team sent by the Holy City to deal with it, so Princess Elisari only needs to wait anxiously, but in the waiting time, Princess Elisari is not so wasted time, she is accompanied by several legendary peak powerhouses of the dark elves, and almost all the camps where the prisoners are held nearby, trying to get as much treatment as possible for her people。 As long as it doesn't involve security matters, Aledia almost all agreed to Princess Elisali's request, and of course, the dark elves will not pay in vain, including food and water, and all expenses will be recorded in detail, and will be paid by the Rakshasa demon afterwards.
