Without knowing anything, the Alpha Kingdom helped the Principality of Moxi to stop the disaster. With the news of the inheritance artifact, the Holy See no longer had the intention of looking for the bad luck of the Moxi people.

Isn't it just to help people carry the black cauldron, in the past years, the black cauldron they carried was not once or twice.

Even the outbreak of natural disasters is a failure of morality on the part of the Holy See, causing the gods to send down natural disasters to warn.

Regardless of whether these natural disasters have anything to do with the gods or not, every time a natural disaster occurs, there will be such rumors spreading.

Of course, the Holy See will not sit idly by. Almost at the same time, there will be rumors of the immorality of the king and the immorality of the lord.

In the aftermath of major natural disasters, the Holy See's indulgence bonds were sold well, and religious donations were pouring in.

Not only the generosity of the little nobles, but even the hungry serfs will find a way to express it.

In the palace square, a group of elves fell from the sky and landed directly on the top of the palace.

It's too bullying, everyone is at the gate to greet you, you go straight to the roof, high up and look down, what's the matter?

"Beautiful Miss Delith, the wind above has blown enough, so let's come down and catch up!"

Hudson said pretending to be bold.

It's not that he wants to be the first bird, but that he came here today to stand up for the Duchy of Moxi on behalf of the kingdom.

Behind Hudson, there were also representatives of the three Central Continents. Although the Five-Nation Alliance has not been formally established, it has become the consensus of all parties to watch over each other in the face of foreign races.

Then there are the representatives of the Terran Alliance countries in the Principality of Moxi, and it may be difficult for them to give substantive support, but there is still no shortage of verbal political support.

Without the backing of these forces, the Principality of Moxi would have been cowardly.

Although they have developed well in recent years, it will take some time to transform their population and economy into military strength.

"Marshal Hudson, you're still so annoying when you talk!"

Venerable Delis replied angrily.

It's just that although he complained, he still jumped down with a group of elves in action. It is enough to dismount and perform once, and it is not a matter to stay above the palace gate to blow the wind all the time.

In essence, this time it is to come to negotiate, not to smash the field. If things really mess up, the elves will have to struggle with whether to send troops.

Hudson's words handed them a step. As for whether the words are heard or not, it also depends on who said them.

If ordinary people dared to make such a joke, Dai Lisi didn't mind letting him know what the majesty of the Sacred Realm powerhouse was.

"Miss Delis, please!

Originally, a welcome banquet was prepared, but I knew you wouldn't like it, so I pushed it for you.

Otherwise, let's get down to business in the conference room, right? ”

Hudson said with a smile.

It's all true, the banquet prepared by the Moxies, these elves really won't like it.

Standing with humans, these proud elves are disgusted, and if they are invited to dance, they are afraid that there will be an accident on the spot.

The stereotypes of a race are not so easy to change. The highest etiquette on the side of the Duchy of Moxi may become an insult in the eyes of the elves.

The elves have their own system, and they rarely communicate with humans, and they don't know much about their living habits.

What is recorded in the book is thousands of years ago. And it has also been deliberately beautified, and in the eyes of the bard, the elf is simply a perfect representative.

There is no way, humans are good-looking creatures. It just so happens that the appearance of elves is in line with human aesthetics, and their arrogance increases the temptation.

Even Hudson, who is strong enough willpower, has to secretly remind himself when he sees a stunner like Delis: This is grandma's grandma's grandma's grandma......

If it weren't for the strength of the elf race being strong enough, they would have been kept in captivity by the human nobles a long time ago.

Looking at the representatives of the human race in front of him, he knew that except for the people of the Principality of Moxi, who felt insulted, everyone else was not very angry.

These are the dividends brought by appearance, if they changed to other races and dared to give so little face, everyone would have let them know what the majesty of the overlord was.

can be compared to the appearance of elves, it is estimated that only the legendary succubus. It's a pity that Hudson didn't see it, and he didn't know the specifics.

"Humph!"

After a cold snort, Delis entered the hall without saying a word. Everyone wanted to remind them that the direction was wrong, but they didn't dare to speak one by one.

Hudson was also very helpless about this. Deep down, he couldn't help but wonder how the elves had sent this to be a negotiating envoy.

The Sacred Realm powerhouse is indeed strong, but strong personal strength does not mean that the negotiation ability is also strong. Is it possible that if the negotiation fails, just overturn the table and move roughly?

In an instant, Hudson understood, it seemed that negotiating with the Duchy of Moxi, the elves really didn't need any technical content.

In essence, it is mainly deterrence by force, and letting Delis come over and make a fuss may be more effective than simple bargaining at the negotiation table.

At the very least, the Mossi were indeed intimidated by now, and the momentum was three points shorter before the negotiations began.

If it hadn't been for Hudson, the situation would have been even worse.

It is not a matter of ability, but the concept of respecting the strong, which has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the continent of Aslanth, when facing the strong, it is appropriate to talk about equality, which is a proper brain disease.

The current situation is: not only is Delisi powerful, but the elves behind her are even stronger.

Including Hudson himself, he can make some innocuous jokes when facing Delith, and once it comes to the elves, he can only treat it with caution.

"Let's talk about it here!"

Delis said angrily.

Maybe it's because she realizes that she doesn't know the way, or maybe it's on purpose, in short, Delith tells everyone with practical actions: She is in a very bad mood now, don't mess with me!

"Calculated!"

Hudson thought to himself.

His intervention just now certainly reduced the pressure brought by the elves to the Moxies, but Delicis also took advantage of the situation to create a bad-tempered image.

A bad-tempered Sanctuary powerhouse, that is a proper magic crystal bomb. Once you touch the button, you can imagine the consequences.

Sure enough, hundreds of years have not been in vain. Even if it is a simple elf, it has honed a bit of politician style.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and set up the venue!"

Reacting to this, George hurriedly ordered.

Just without waiting for the attendants to react, I saw that with a wave of the magic wand in Delis's hand, plants grew directly on the ground, and soon a natural plant seat was formed.

All the elves took their seats one after another, just occupying the seats, which made the representatives of the various races very embarrassed.

George gestured to the magician behind him, and then the earth magic elements surged, and the earth element tables, chairs, and benches came out directly from the ground.

It is the bitterness of this palace, the tables, chairs and benches are all temporarily condensed by magical elements, but the damage to the palace is permanent. After being tossed around like this, the floor inevitably needs to be renovated.

"Dear Your Majesty George, I believe that the illegal capture of elves has nothing to do with you.

But the five elves had an accident in your hands, so you have to give us an explanation, right? ”

Dai Lisi's words directly made George secretly complain. There were too many witnesses at the auction that day, and some people used the photo stone to record, so they couldn't rely on it at all.

The countries of the mainland supported the Duchy of Moxi diplomatically, provided that they had to take possession. If it's your own problem that gets you in trouble, that's a different story.

But this time, they had no way to explain it. I was frightened by the "Poison of the Abyss" that day, and I didn't find out in time that the five elves were controlled by the necromancer, and now I can't wash it.

"Venerable, this is all a misunderstanding. Elves are all honored guests in the principality, how can we attack them!

These are all conspiracies of the Warhammer Kingdom Restoration Organization, who are trying to create a conspiracy to provoke war between us in order to restore the kingdom while there is chaos.

It's just that these despicable rats don't know that they abandoned the people back then and left with the looted wealth, and they have already been spurned by countless people......"

Before George could finish speaking, Delith immediately interrupted: "Your Majesty George, do you want to say: Five elves have an accident in your country, this is our responsibility?" ”

In the face of Delith's questioning, George secretly complained to himself. Just because he's a good king doesn't mean he's a good negotiator.

Originally, these were the work of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, but the Elven Clan directly raised the negotiation standard, and the Principality of Moxi had to send a team of equal status.

There is no way, with Delith's status in the elven race, George can only be equal in person.

According to the rules of diplomatic negotiation in the continent of Aslanth, when a big man speaks, only those with equal status are qualified to reply. No matter how many thoughts other people have, they must hold back first.

There is no problem with throwing the pot, but the specific operation is slightly insufficient.

The collapse of the Warhammer Kingdom, the elves also contributed, and if you look at it from this aspect, there is really a causal relationship between the two sides.

"Miss Delis, there is no point in arguing about the rights and wrongs of these. Everyone, let's be honest, what do you want? ”

Hudson opened his mouth to clear the way.

Fantasy diplomatic negotiations: all kinds of quotations, verbal wars, and persuasion of the other side by relying on the incorruptible tongue.

Diplomatic negotiations in fact: strength! Strength! Or strength!

has strong own strength, and is tough at the negotiation table; If its own strength is insufficient, there will be no confidence at the negotiation table.

The performance of diplomats can gain the initiative morally, and it is strength that determines the final result.

Only when the two sides are close in strength will diplomats really gallop in all directions.

A weak country like the one in front of you, coupled with its own unreasonableness, and no matter how many diplomats come over, the Principality of Moxi will also have to pay the price.

If we continue to debate, we will only bring shame upon ourselves. Unless the Moxy government can produce evidence that this is really a conspiracy of the Warhammer Restoration.

"Marshal Hudson, you are saying this as if we are here to blackmail!

Your Majesty George, as long as you can hand over the murderer and the person who planned behind it, I can represent the elves and not hold your country accountable.

If this is not possible, then I can only acquiesce to this matter and you have a part in this matter, and claim losses from your country.

This is the list of materials, after the negotiation is over, pay 20% of the materials within a month, and give us the remaining five years. ”

Delis said with a roll of her eyes.

It can be seen that she is in a good mood now. The constant tugging of negotiations is also very disgusted, but it is Hudson's directness that is more of an appetite for her.

The Principality of Moxi has developed so rapidly in recent years, and the elves have long been unhappy, but they are forced to do something because the continental war has just ended.

Finally grasped the handle of his neighbors, and naturally found a way to weaken the strength of the Principality of Moxi. Even if they were not short of supplies, the three elven queens decided to extort money from the Moxies.

Originally, he wanted to let the Moxi people cut the land, but considering the reaction of the Terran world, it was finally canceled.

This decision turned out to be the right one. When Delis showed the list of supplies, the representatives of various countries smiled.

Everyone participated in this meeting only to protect the interests of the human race. For the countries themselves, there is no substantial benefit other than to make their presence felt in the international arena.

The request of the elf race is obviously to take into account the face of the overlord of the human continent. It's just material compensation, but the other party is dead.

As for the specific amount of compensation, everyone actually doesn't care, and they don't need to pay it themselves anyway.

Including Hudson, when Dailies came up with the list, he decisively chose to shut up.

At the negotiation table, there is no problem in supporting the Principality of Moxi, but when it comes to specific compensation, he has no right to make decisions for the Moxies.

I had long wanted to spend money to buy peace, but when I opened the list, George's face was still green.

Not only are there a lot of daily necessities, but there are also a lot of magical materials. No wonder five years were given, and if it was a one-time payment, it would not be possible to hollow out the Duchy of Moxi.

"Venerable, the amount above is too huge, far beyond the Principality's capacity.

We can only afford three percent at most, and some precious supplies, the principality does not have yet! ”

George waved his hand helplessly and said.

It's really not that he's bargaining, it's really that the elves want too many things. If it is discounted, the Principality of Moxi can still make up for it, but all you want here is in kind.

For example, if there were eight million tons of food, the people of Mossi would have to go hungry together.

Even if it is purchased from the whole continent, with the capacity of this era, it is not possible to raise it in a short time.

There are many more such harsh clauses, and almost every requirement is to challenge the limits of the Principality of Moxi.

The sky-high asking price, then you can only pay back the money on the ground. As demanding as the elves are, George's counteroffer is as ruthless as it gets.

For a while, the two sides had a heated discussion around the amount of materials. However, the differences are so great that there is no sign of being able to negotiate at all.

"It's not too early, let's get here today, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow!"

That's right, Hudson regretted it!

He had known that if he stayed in the Duchy of Moxi for a few more days, he would have taken over this, and he would have returned to China a long time ago.

Mediating between the Principality of Moxi and the Elves is a tingling to think about. When interests are involved, how can it be resolved in a few words.

"It doesn't matter, I don't want to talk about it today, so let's adjourn the meeting first!

Anyway, we only have three days, and now it's been a day. If you can't talk about the results in the next two days, you can think about the consequences! ”

Dai Lisi's cruel words made everyone's faces change.

There is a saying in the continent of Aslanth: If you are not afraid of the elven army coming over, you are afraid that the elves simply want to retaliate!

In the past, the Bright Empire, which occupied the central and northern parts of the continent, gradually turned from prosperity to decline under the revenge of the elven race.

A group of elves with an average of more than 800 people are immortal, turning into terrorists, unleashing magic everywhere to wreak havoc, the scene is unimaginable.

The Bright Empire, which is as strong as a cloud, does not have as many masters as the elven race, and the Principality of Moxi cannot be compared.

Back then, the Bright Empire also organized a large army to counterattack the Elven Forest, and now the Principality of Moxi, even if it is a counterattack, it can't do it!

After the negotiation ended, Delis deliberately glanced at Hudson defiantly, which made Hudson's heart tighten.

This elf woman is a ruthless person. Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is long, and if his own territory is also next to the Elven Forest, Hudson can only admit it.

……

"Marshal, it's really not that we are insincere, it's really that the appetite of the elves is too great. Here's the list they give, take a look! ”

Seeing Hudson coming, George said a direct showdown.

Glancing at the numbers on the list, Hudson swallowed all the words of persuasion.

It was only a counteroffer of three percent, and it was raised to eight percent in subsequent negotiations, which was enough to prove the sincerity of the Duchy of Moxi.

If Hudson is in George's position, it is estimated that he can directly bargain to one percent.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this incident is just an excuse, the real problem is that your country is developing too fast, which has aroused the vigilance of the elf race.

You should know that in the past years, none of the countries and races next to the elves have developed smoothly.

For their own strategic security, the elves need a weak Duchy of Moxi. The current development of your country is afraid that it is about to touch their bottom line.

Even if you don't have this time, there will be other troubles coming to you, so get ready! ”

Hudson said sympathetically.

It's no wonder that the Duchy of Moxi was able to become an ally with the Alpha Kingdom, and the unfortunate attributes are the same.

finally welcomed an opportunity, but the result did not wait for the development and growth, and first attracted the fear and suppression of foreign races.
