284. Negotiations
The fortress village, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, has now been occupied by the half-blood elf rebels.
Almost all tall canopies are guarded posts.
The boundary monument by the river stream was toppled by the half-blood elves, and the stele was smashed into three sections, and the pedestal was now a flower bed with blood thistles, symbolizing unyielding.
A section of the boundary pillar lies in the stream, and the river water flows over the boundary pillar, and the words on the washed boundary pillar are clear and dazzling.
'The land north of the pillar, all the way south of Padesto, is owned by the lord of Arvis......
No, now the territory is owned by the Earl of Swinburn.
Roy thought silently in his heart.
He followed the negotiators into the Barrier Village, and on the third day of his arrival, a simple pontoon bridge had been erected over the river, and some half-blood elf rebels stood by the stream with weapons in hand, staring at the negotiators.
Their gear was a mess, and most of the half-blood elves were wearing leather armor.
It's not that leather armor is bad, it's good to use magic patterns made of monster skin.
Obviously, the tattered leather armor on these half-blood elves is not a magic pattern structure, it is the ordinary leather armor that elven hunters usually wear, which can block the bite of small beasts in the forest, can defend against the thorns of bushes, and can bring the most basic protection to elven hunters, but it can't stop the arrows of elven archers......
Half-blood rebels stood on either side of the road, and countless half-blood elves formed a passageway.
The Silver Moon Elf Escort was at the forefront, and the seven nobles in charge of the negotiation were sandwiched in the ranks, while Roy, Instructor Nora and others finally put on their standard armor and blended in with the escorts behind, following the team into the Barrier Village.
Today's Barrier Village, Barrier Village has changed a lot, and there were originally many adventure groups and merchant groups here, but now they are gone.
There are a lot of makeshift tents set up in the free market, and some half-blood elves live in them, except for a lot of clotheslines attached to the tents, and some linen and leather hanging from the ropes, and there is even a faint sour smell in the air.
"Didn't you say that there were only 20,000 half-blood elf rebels gathered here? How many half-blood elves are gathered here......"
Instructor Virgil asked in a low voice as he poked Instructor Nora.
"Who knows! Maybe it was because after the wind of the second peace talks blew, a large number of half-blood elves poured into the barrier village, I guess...... At least tens of thousands of half-blood elves are gathered here. ”
Instructor Nora looked around and responded.
From the river to the rebel command post, the road was almost crowded with half-blood elves watching the negotiators' expressions......
Many half-blood elves wrote the fear and anger in their hearts on their faces, and there were even half-blood elves hiding behind them who shouted: 'Let these silver moon elves go back to Padstow......
I didn't expect the rebels to be like this.
The seven negotiators walked into the command post with straight faces.
Roy and the members of the Adventure Group followed the convoy outside the command post.
Negotiations began, and there was silence around the command post.
I don't know what the bigwigs in the command post said, but the negotiations inside lasted for a long time.
……
Roy's escort was on the west side of the command post, with Sabrina and Instructor Gru beside him.
Instructor Gru pulled the visor off his helmet and looked as if he was asleep, except for the faint sound of breathing.
Sabrina also wore a face armor that only covered the bridge of her nose and blue eyes, and her red lips and pointed chin were exposed, making her look particularly seductive.
In fact, it still feels very stressful to stand next to a female elf who is more than half a head taller than me and extremely beautiful.
Roy couldn't help but look at Sabrina's chin, usually paying attention to her blue eyes, not noticing that her chin was also beautiful......
He couldn't help but look a few more times, and Sabrina seemed to notice something, so she quietly twisted her head to the other side.
I stood outside the command post until noon, and at the beginning of the calm negotiation inside the command post, a quarrel began to take place, and when it was almost noon, the quarrel inside became more and more intense.
As soon as noon, the sound of negotiations in the command post came to an abrupt end, and the bigwigs sitting inside came out.
The first day of negotiations ended with a bickering.
Roy stood outside the command post for a long time, followed the escort back to the negotiating group's camp, and in the afternoon he had to receive special training from Nora's instructor, and his daily life was quite fulfilling.
Instructor Nora has been mentoring Roy lately, and then has Woods and Sabrina take turns sparring with Roy, allowing him to improve his martial arts and martial arts skills in sparring.
Instructor Gru also teaches Miss Christine some archery skills, but there aren't many points to give her pointers.
Miss Christine has mastered the basic archery skills......
Those advanced archery skills, Instructor Gru excelled in rapid and piercing arrows, and Miss Christine decided to go in the direction of multiple arrows and guiding arrows.
……
Sabrina slashed with her heavy sword in both hands and slashed at Roy......
The moment the big sword in her hand was raised above her head, it seemed that there was an extra sword mountain above Sabrina's head.
The shadow of the sword stabbed at Roy.
Roy hurriedly dodged sideways, and took the opportunity to pick up the wooden stick in his hand and smashed it on the side of the heavy sword, Sabrina flipped her wrist and faced the blade of the heavy sword towards the wooden stick, as long as Roy smashed it firmly on the blade, the wooden stick would break in two.
The moment he withdrew his stick, Sabrina's attack swept over him like a tidal wave.
A heavy sword was as light as nothing in her hand, but it slashed Roy into defeat, and every wave of attacks had to be blocked with all her might.
Sabrina kept slashing Roy to the ground before stopping.
Roy slumped over a large tree, and Woods handed Roy a glass of slightly bitter sap, which was said to soothe sore muscles.
In fact, Roy would like to tell Woods that he will give himself a 'secondary healing technique' when this happens.
"Drinking this regularly will improve your body's toughness, and when you have this kind of exhaustion, it will make you recover faster......" Woods whispered to Roy. This is a secret method that the druids know. ”
What Roy didn't know was that the so-called secret method of the druids was actually a remedy that circulated among the druids.
Looking at the green sap, there is a strange smell in it......
"Woods, are you sure I'm going to drink it in one gulp...... Won't be poisoned? Roy asked hesitantly.
Woods patted his chest and promised:
"Absolutely not!"
……
Several instructors gathered under a large tree to discuss the first confrontation between the negotiating team and the rebels this morning.
In fact, in just one morning, there is very little to talk about.
The negotiating team of the Silver Moon Elves took the lead in listing the conditions for peace talks this time:
First, the leader of the rebel army needs to be tried by the Silvermoon Elf Council.
The second is to disband all the armed forces of the rebel army in the same place as the fortress village.
Third, the half-blood elves who have joined the rebel army need to be transferred by the military, and more than half of the half-blood elves will leave the Partington plane.
If all three conditions are agreed, the Silver Moon Elf Kingdom will pardon the crimes of the rebels, and give them a certain amount of subsidies for living materials, etc.
When these three conditions were announced, the rebels were in an uproar. How is it possible to hand over the chiefs to stand trial? It is even more impossible to disarm, and this is not a self-defeating task?
The last one is that more than half of the half-blood elves will leave the Partington plane.
This is even more unlikely, and no matter where you go, you will likely be worse off in the future than you are now......
The Silver Moon Elf negotiating team suddenly listed the three conditions that the rebels could not agree to, bringing a haze to the second negotiation.
"I'll just say...... We came to the Partington plane this time, it is likely that we came for nothing, the Elven Council of Elders will not care about the life or death of these half-blood elves, and it is better to simply start a war with this kind of condition. Miss Scarlett muttered to Instructor Nora.
Instructor Nora was also depressed, he didn't expect the conditions offered by the negotiation team to be so harsh.
"In fact, every negotiation is like this, at the beginning is the lion opened his mouth, and then the other party continues to compromise, and finally the two sides find a balance point, even if the peace talks are finally reached, can not find a balance point, unwilling to compromise then continue to consume, the weak side will eventually give in." Instructor Virgil said.
"We're not here to negotiate with them, don't forget that we're here to dig up the slave traders from the rebels......
Instructor Nora re-emphasized, and then she coughed again.
“…… Of course, I didn't expect the rebels to gather so many half-blood elves. ”
"Yes, we're here to dig up the slave traders."
All of a sudden, the instructors became energetic again.
Instructor Eleanor approached Instructor Nora and said to Instructor Nora, "Do you want me to go out and find out first?" ”
"Eleanor, you can't, there are half-blood elves everywhere here, do you think a silver moon elf can find out any useful news when he runs out?" Instructor Nora glanced at Instructor Eleanor and said unceremoniously.
“……”
"This time I went out with Sabrina and Woods to investigate, Woods, didn't you say that your elders joined the rebels? See if you can reach him. Instructor Nora said to Woods.
"I've drawn the mark, and if my uncle can see it, he'll come to me." Woods responded.
"Roy, maybe that human mage is mixed in with the rebels, although you are half-elf, you have a human face, you can also go and inquire, but remember to be careful." Instructor Nora commanded again.
"Got it, instructor." Roy replied.
"Instructor, what can I do?" Miss Christine asked.
"Christine, you're in charge of keeping in touch with the Silver Pegasus."
Instructor Nora said.
