Chapter 67 Outcome of the Negotiations
The advantage of a scimitar is flexibility, while the advantage of a long knife is speed. Roger's top-up stab directly enveloped the left half of El's body, almost splitting his entire body in half. El didn't have time to dodge at this time, and he didn't think about dodging, so he directly stretched out an arm to block in front of him.
The sharp sword light stopped abruptly in an instant, and Roger felt that something was wrong with the feel of the blade, and his heart was shocked. When he had just used the golden scimitar to fight El, he sensed that this young man was not very good at defense, or rather disdainful of defense, and with his perverted body recovery speed comparable to that of a troll, and his bloodthirsty and berserk ability, he was best suited to the life-fighting style of exchanging injuries for injuries.
Despite carrying a bow and arrows behind him, El behaved like a typical berserker throughout, which led Roger to have a false perception for a while. But this delusion was soon corrected, as El revealed his true colors after he took out his true weapon.
Hunters living in the jungle believe in the laws of nature and learn the most primitive fighting techniques from wild beasts. For the ferocious beasts that occupy the upper echelons of the food chain, they never rely on external objects in battle, believing that their minions are the most suitable weapons, and their natural fur is the most advantageous defense.
Although the velociraptor leather armor had been damaged during the battle, El had always worn it, because even after losing the overall suit effect, the scale of the flying feather velociraptor itself was tougher than ordinary iron armor. Roger stabbed El twice, not feeling the hindrance, so he didn't pay much attention to the leather armor, and he didn't notice that the rest of Eyre's equipment was still intact.
The demonic pattern array on the scaly arm guard flashed with an inconspicuous blue light, and it forcibly resisted Roger's knife. Although Roger's long knife is also a rare and sophisticated weapon, it is impossible to have many perverted effects like the sword in Palanti's hand, and it is not even as sharp as the golden scimitar, and it is inevitable that it will be too strong to break through the protection of the scaly armguard.
However, it was not without cost for El to block the knife directly with his arm, even with the dual protection of the arm guard and muscles, his arm bones were also shocked and painful, and it was almost certain that there would be a fracture, but it was only a matter of whether it was serious. But at this time, the dragon's tooth bow clenched in El's other hand also stabbed Roger in the stomach.
Unlike the broken leather armor on his body, the dragon tooth bow in his hand has always remained intact, and the armor-piercing effect of the velociraptor fangs should not be underestimated. Roger was also wearing an unknown soft armor underneath his cloak, but it did not provide the slightest protection. The fifteen-centimeter-long fangs nearly pierced his body, leaving a thumb-thick wound as soon as he advanced and retreated, and blood gushed like a spring. γStarterγ
Roger grunted and covered his wound, his body falling backwards quickly, the bowstring of the dragon's tooth bow grazing in front of his face, almost strangling his neck. El had used this trick to subdue Thea, but it was still a little hot to deal with the vigilant Roger.
He doesn't care if he misses a blow, now the initiative is in his hands, and he can fight as much as he wants. With a twist of the dragon tooth arch in his hand, he stabbed the dragon tooth at the other end of Roger's feet, and at the same time raised his leg and slammed the top of his knee into Roger's chest.
Only a muffled sound was heard, and El's knee hit the back of the long knife that was backblocking, and Roger's body was involuntarily knocked into the air. It flew more than ten meters away before falling to the ground, and a cloud of sand rolled up under his feet.
"Stop, you pervert!" Seeing that Roger seemed to have suffered a loss, Thea, who was standing on the sidelines watching the battle, suddenly became excited. She tensed the muscles of her arms suddenly, and at the fastest speed she grew two spikes from the outer armor of her arms, and threw them at El from a distance.
As soon as she shot the spike, she saw a flash of white light in front of her, and Palanti stood in front of her with a sword in hand and said with a cold face, "Your opponent is me." β
"Get out of here!" Syya's eyes filled with angry flames, and she let out a low roar from her throat, and a neat row of spikes grew out of her arms and legs at the same time, instantly turning into a fried hedgehog.
"Can you still conjure flowers?" Palanti sneered, staring into Thea's eyes and beginning to take a slow, deep breath.
Suddenly, a hand slapped on Palanti's head, disrupting the rhythm of her breathing. Palanti's body stiffened, but the familiar touch above her head quickly relaxed.
"Okay, do you want the camp to fry?" El rubbed Palanti's head twice vigorously, pulling her to his side. At the same time, on the other side, Thea was also choked by the back of Roger's neck and suddenly became as docile as a kitten.
"Brother Roger, is your injury okay?" Sia asked hurriedly when she looked back and saw the blood on Roger's body.
"It's not in the way, it's just moving your muscles. Roger lowered his hand to reveal the wound in his abdomen, and in a matter of moments, the wound had stopped bleeding and had even begun to scarre.
As a silver-level powerhouse, he will more or less have a little secret of his own, which can quickly recover or maintain his physical strength. Otherwise, in a real battle, with the strength of their strength, life and death are only in an instant, and without this ability, I don't know how many times I have died.
"Very well, I think we can talk about it now. El shook off his broken left arm and held Palanti with his other hand to Roger. Both sides of the battle just now showed some real skills, and Ela was slightly better. But before the respective hole cards were fully opened, he did not dare to say that he was sure of victory.
It's just right to play so far, and if it continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end up. From a negotiation point of view, this level is just right for both sides to recognize each other's equal negotiating status, and some things are much easier to negotiate. Unlike those who prevaricate and compromise between politicians, real fighters only use force to talk, and verbal language is only an auxiliary.
"The Legacy Treasure of the King of Thieves is buried in the dungeons of the brown hills, and I need you and your troops, at least three hundred elite soldiers, to help me clear the monsters underground. Roger put away his long knife and reached out to slap off the spikes growing out of Thea's body one by one, as he turned to El.
"If you only need three hundred troops, why would you go so far to come to me?" said El, lukewarmly. Although it is said that the brown soil and hills are vast and sparsely populated, with Roger's current status, it is only a matter of words to entangle the strength of three or five hundred people. According to Blackbeard's private confession, in order to swallow the team of Isttalon exiles, Roger united forces to gather at least 2,000 people. If Blackbeard hadn't been killed and trapped, El would have faced a bitter battle by now.
"There are many monsters in the dungeon, and ordinary people are more or less sent to death when they enter, and I need an elite force that knows how to unite and cooperate. Not only you, but I myself will also draw elite manpower, at least about 1,000 people. Roger sighed and smiled bitterly: "The discipline of the robbers is really poor, Blackbeard tried several times back then, and lost all his cronies to nothing. β
"It may sound dangerous, but I'm not going to sacrifice my soldiers in vain. El thought for a moment, stretched out three fingers and said, "First, since we are going to send three hundred people, each of us needs a good horse, and another three hundred catties of sea buckthorn grass, which must be delivered first." Second, our refugee contingent must continue to move forward without being harassed in any way, and if something happens, we will cut it in two. Thirdly, my troops will not die for you. If we find a mortal danger at that time, we will retreat at any time. β
Roger pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "There is no problem with the horses, there is no stock of sea buckthorn grass, I can have someone collect it and transport it as soon as possible, and the rest is fine." As for our trust in each other, if you know anything about the customs of the browned hills, you will surely know that we both believe in the god of the wanderer, and I will swear to the gods. β
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe in God much. El shook his head, and said with a weird smile on his face, "I prefer to listen to professionals in this regard." If you don't disagree with these three conditions, we can sign a magic contract. β
"Magical contracts?I've only heard of this kind of thing, it's said to only be used among magicians, and it's quite expensive. Roger's eyes flickered, and he said quietly.
"No matter how expensive it is, it is not worth your own life. El ignored Roger's thoughtful gaze and smiled as if he hadn't seen it, "We don't have much friendship between us, and it's not a bad thing to do things safely." β
"Prudence is a virtue. Roger nodded approvingly, took Thea's hand and said, "Then let's settle it like this, I'll come with the horses and the first batch of herbs in three days, and we'll set off as soon as we sign the contract." If you don't mind, I'd like to bring Thea back first. β
"Then I'll wait here for good news. El laughed.
Seeing Roger and the screaming Thea, he walked in the direction of the settlement. Palanti put away his weapon, cautiously raised his head, squeezed a stiff smile on his face, and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency, you will take me there this time, right?"
"I'll keep this account on for you first, and I'll settle it when I come back. Elban straightened his face, patted her head and said, "Now go back to the camp and pick people, find more veterans who have experience in crusading monsters, and warriors who are good at defense, such as the soldiers of Hegu Pass." β
"I see, sir. Palanti straightened his back, gave El a military salute, and ran out as fast as he could. Seeing her jumping up, she seemed to be in a much more cheerful mood.
Elle watched Palanti leave, turned and stretched, rubbed his unrecovered arm, and let out a long exhale, finally relenting.
"I'm really not the material for negotiations. He said with a wry smile as if talking to himself.
A twisted ripple appeared in the air around him, and Tiana, holding a staff, emerged from the air, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder.
"You're doing a great job, you're getting more and more of a leader. The magician girl chuckled.
"What kind of temperament can't be eaten. El pursed his lips disdainfully and said with a wry smile: "This time we can only gamble, I don't think we can win much." β
"There's never a guaranteed bet. Tiana said softly: "This time I'll just gamble with you." (Go to read OM) (Jiangsu Net)
