88 negotiations

The next day, the girl was carried by the paladins to Anka, and at this time the girl no longer had the sharpness of last night, and she was tired and lay on the ground with only the strength to pant.

Ankh asked, "Did you give her something to eat?" ”

"We bought some food from the people around us, but she threw it up."

Ankha asked, "How many people have signed up to be soldiers!" ”

The paladin responded: "There are already a thousand, and today's list will be handed to you in the evening." ”

"There are a lot of people who have signed up!"

As Ankka spoke, Sodeith walked in slowly and said, "The negotiation over there has been arranged in a tent outside the city. ”

Ankha waved his hand for the paladin to lock up the girl and got up and said, "Please take me there!" ”

Ankka then took Sodeyith to the tent alone to negotiate.

Dozens of people on the other side whispered after seeing that only two people were coming, and the two people in the lead whispered: "There are only two people, are these Kades pigs despising us?" ”

"We're going to rescue that idiot and do everything we can to meet their demands."

After Anka came to the tent, the other party seemed to have no intention of negotiating at all, and said directly: "Give you a box of copper coins, and then we will retreat five hundred meters and send her back." ”

Ankh said, "Some of you seem to be too arrogant, but that man is in our hands, and we haven't asked for it yet." ”

"Hey, what do you want?"

"I need you to surrender all your horses and armaments, then surrender to us and withdraw from the Cades."

"Hahaha, are you brain-burned? You didn't lose! On the battlefield, none of you let us back down, and at this negotiating table, you want to make us back through a captive. ”

"That captive must be important to you!"

"Shhhh This is an unacceptable request. ”

Sodeith also approached Ankar and whispered, "Try to lower the requirements first!" After all, the request you just made is unacceptable to anyone. ”

Ankh said, "Then we'll need five boxes of copper coins." ”

When the Kalans laughed at Ankh for his lack of knowledge, the puppets laughed as well.

Sodeyith whispered, "Could it be too little?" ”

Ankha whispered, "Probably not, after the establishment of the two business routes, we need enough funds to buy supplies, and these should be enough." ”

The Karans laughed and said, "I'll give you three boxes of silver coins, and you put that man in the wagon for me and bring it back." ”

Ankha nodded in agreement and said, "Then please go and prepare some silver coins." ”

At noon, the girl put on her armor and was taken hostage from the carriage by the paladins on her left and right.

When she saw the Kalans who had come running to help her, the girl reproached, "Why is it so slow? ”

And the girl also said cruelly to Ankka before leaving: "I remember you, you wait for me." ”

Ankh looked at their backs and stepped on the silver coin box and said, "I will have you stand at the negotiating table again in the evening and sue me for peace." ”

Sodeyith stepped forward and asked, "Do you have anything you can do?" ”

"I'm going to raid their barracks tonight."

"Wouldn't it be too risky for those soldiers to be trained and there aren't enough paladins?"

"All they need to do is ambush them at the edge of the trap and I'll go to their barracks alone to face the Kalan, I'll scare them and make them run around, so that when they fall into the trap, we will not only get a lot of equipment, but also have them stand at the negotiating table and negotiate with us."

Sodeith wiped the sweat from his head and said, "If you think there will be a way, then let's go back and make a detailed plan!" ”

With that, Ankka picked up the silver crate and returned to the city with the others after loading all three crates in the carriage.

Ankha Pilgrim said, "Please bring all the soldiers to the high platform and wait." ”

"Yes."

Sodeeth leaned over and asked, "How many paladins do you need as your guard?" ”

"None of them need me to just go over and attack and weaken their power as much as possible to the point where they can't attack the city, and then let those soldiers who are in the trap grab as many Kalans as possible as bargaining chips for subsequent negotiations."

The paladin, who was waiting on the sidelines, asked, "What about us?" ”

"Please lead those cadets soldiers, they don't know some tactics and stuff like that, I hope you can teach them."

"It is our pleasure to carry out your orders."

An hour later, when Anka learned that more than a thousand soldiers had gathered in front of the platform, he quickly made his way to the platform and took the stage to scan the panic-ridden, thin, slave-like soldiers, dressed in shabby clothes and without any decent weapons.

Ankh stood on a high platform and said, "I'm going to attack their camp tonight, and you'll need to trap around and wait to catch the fleeing Karan soldiers. ”

Two voices were heard from the audience.

"Can we really defeat the Kalan? They are so much burlier than us without armor. ”

"Great, I'm going to die for Cardess!"

Ankh said: "If you don't dare to go, you can leave. ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and clenched their weapons, and one of them suddenly said: "Even if the other party is stronger than us, we will still stretch out our swords to them to protect the Cades, aren't we the countless Cades compatriots who have protected us like this in the past hundred years?" Are we going to be cowards like those puppet armies? ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone shouted excitedly: "Revenge, revenge for Cardus!" ”

Seeing that no one had escaped, Anka smiled and said, "I'm glad you didn't leave, I'm going to divide you into five groups led by paladins." ”

At this time, the voice below was quiet, and Ankha watched them suddenly lose their morale and was a little puzzled.

Sodeis slowly stepped onto the stage and whispered, "Maybe they don't want the help of the paladins of Santa Seca, they may want to overthrow the myth of Kalan's invincibility with their own hands." ”

"Then please help me get enough bombs! After all, the gap in equipment should be able to be smoothed out by that. ”

"Okay, I'll make as many bombs as I can before night comes."

After that, Ankka looked at the gradually declining red sun, turned his head to face everyone and said, "Then the paladin will stay in the city and command remotely, I hope you can sneak to the hills near the opponent's camp after eating to dig traps and ambush them." ”

Anka then commanded the paladin, "Then I hope you can take on the responsibility of protecting the city." ”

"Yes! Even if we can't fight for you on the battlefield, it's still our honor to carry out your orders. ”

"Please forgive me for my sudden breach of trust this time after promising you to go to war."

"It's nothing, and we have no right to question your orders."

Ankh then turned to Sodeis and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the beef in those wagons?" ”

Sodeith shook his head and said, "It's just a little hard to chew. ”

"Give the beef to all the soldiers! Give them a good meal. ”
