Chapter 1817: The city is broken (4)

Views:

The city of Fetahaba occupies a very large area. Even if Princess Elisali issued an order to surrender, it would not be easy to spread the word to every corner of the city in the chaos of the city's destruction. Even if all the more than 40 million people in the city It would take a long time to stand still and be captured by the dark elves. During this period, the only thing Princess Elissari could do was pray for her people.

Aledia did not break her promise. After the dinner in honor of Princess Elissari, she canceled the previous order and changed it to "As long as the residents in the city do not resist, do not kill innocent people." Finally, the dark elves took complete control. After the entire city, a total of more than 35 million prisoners were captured. Considering that more than half of them were slaves of the Rakshasa demon, the members of the Rakshasa demon clan only lost more than a hundred when the city was destroyed. Ten thousand, this number finally made Princess Elissari breathe a sigh of relief.

According to the practice of other worlds, as long as the Rakshasa demon quickly sends an envoy to negotiate with Aledia and pays a sufficient price, at least 70% of these captured Rakshasa demons can be redeemed immediately, and the remaining The next step depends on what kind of damage they caused to the dark elf warriors in this war. For example, although the acting city lord Feisal has not stained the blood of any dark elf warriors in his hands, the Feitahaba he presided over However, the city has transported a large amount of supplies to the front line. Based on this alone, it is impossible for the dark elves to let him go.

Therefore, the dark elves who invaded the city lord's mansion only brought back a cold corpse. Feisal, the acting city lord, had committed suicide before. Looking at Feisal's body, Princess Elisali suddenly felt a surge of pain in her heart. Feeling the urge, she wanted to do her best to protect these people, so she approached Aledia and said to the latter: "Ms. Aledia, I want to discuss the ransom with you on behalf of the Rakshasa demon. , I hope to redeem the Rakshasa demons captured by the dark elves in this war."

"I refuse." Aledia said in a very clear tone: "I believe that you, Princess, know very well that you are not suitable for such a responsibility as a guest here at this time. Even if we can reach an agreement, Luo The demon can also refuse based on the principle of diplomacy."

"I know that this is not in line with diplomatic principles, but what I want to say is that I am willing to use my personal wealth to redeem their lives. Even my father here has no right to interfere." Princess Elissari quickly The explanation said: "I believe that with the output of my territory, I should be able to afford this amount of money. As for my own stay, I will make a decision after the last Rakshasa demon clan member has safely left."

Aledia looked at Princess Elissari, and she saw a determined look in the latter's eyes, so Aledia nodded in agreement: "Okay, the Rakshasa demon has a good princess who is considerate of her people. , but I don’t know if Her Royal Highness the Princess’s negotiations only involve these prisoners in Fetahaba City, or include all the Rakshasa demons captured by our dark elves.”

"Of course..." Princess Elissari almost blurted out, but in the end she held back forcibly. With her financial resources, there was no problem in redeeming the lives of these Rakshasa demon people in Fetahaba City, but if this number included the entire The people in Fetahab's territory, Princess Elisali, were unable to do what they wanted. She shook her head helplessly and said in weaker words: "Of course I hope that all the people can escape from the sea of suffering, but with just My personal strength is definitely not enough, so I want my captain of the bodyguard to return first so that enough funds can be raised in the shortest time."

Aledia thought about it and agreed to Princess Elissari's request. Then the captain of the guard left on his own after receiving some detailed instructions from Princess Elissari. In order to ensure safety, Aledia did not She was allowed to use the teleportation magic circle in Fetahaba City. She could only rely on herself to go to the nearest Rakshasa city, and then use the teleportation magic circle there to return to Princess Elisali's territory. The whole process did not use teleportation. Because of the magic circle, it will be delayed for about half a month. By then, the dark elves will have already bypassed the Three Peaks Fortress and left here.

The day after Princess Elissari's captain of the bodyguard left, the Dark Elf army began to take action again. Within half a month, the entire Fetahaba City was completely emptied, and nearly two people were captured from the city. Tens of millions of slaves were put to great use here, and unimaginable wealth was loaded into vehicles and set off from the city of Fetahaba, bypassing the Three Spires Fortress and marching towards the territory of the dark elves. The length of the entire queue exceeded a thousand kilometers. The number of dark elf warriors responsible for escorting the transportation also exceeded one million.

The war between the dark elves and the Rakshasa demon has come to an end. Now is the time for the dark elves to find ways to maximize the benefits they have achieved. Not only Aledia's direct troops are transporting supplies and prisoners, The private soldiers of various dark elf families who were working together were also trying their best to do the same thing. The last Rakshasa demon army in Fetahab's territory laid down their weapons in Fetahab City and became prisoners. No one can Stop everything that happens in this land,

When the Dark Elf army evacuated from the deserted city of Fetahaba, the negotiations between Aledia and Princess Elissari also officially began. The final decision reached between them will affect more than 80 million people. As for the fate of the people of the Rakshasa demon, these people were not all captured in Fetahaba City, but were captured one after another after the dark elf army entered the territory of the Rakshasa demon and then imprisoned in a centralized manner. However, mercenaries are hired based on their race, so in the territory of Rakshasa demons and the chambers of commerce of Rakshasa demons, there will be more members of other races. Therefore, the total number of prisoners captured by the dark elves has reached an unprecedented level of more than 500 million. , not including three times as many slaves,

Calculated in terms of real value, the importance of such a large number of captives has long surpassed that of Princess Elissari. Fetahab's territory has been almost destroyed by the dark elves, and there are not enough Rakshasa demons to rebuild it. Here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover in another few hundred years. If we give up the redemption of these Rakshasa demon captives and use a large number of members of other races during the construction process, it will be quite detrimental to the future rule of this area, so Elisa Li would rather sacrifice herself to save these people.

For these reasons, the negotiation between Aledia and Princess Elissari was simply one-sided. It was impossible for the Rakshasa demons not to save their compatriots who had become captives and let these people become the slaves of the dark elves. Slave, so no matter what conditions the dark elves offer, they can only grit their teeth and accept it. Fortunately, Aledia didn't go too far. She has received enough rewards in this war, and now she has to do The goal is to delay the re-emergence of the Rakshasa demon as much as possible, and the easiest way to do this is to continue to weaken the opponent in terms of numbers and financial resources.

In order to achieve this goal, Aledia announced during the negotiation with Princess Elissari that the captured prisoners would be divided into several grades. The third grade was all frail and elderly people, and there would be no harm to these people if they were left. As a result, the Rakshasa demon princess is simply allowed to redeem it with gold coins at one time. The second level is the more useful young Rakshasa demons. They will be used to perform labor to build the land newly occupied by the dark elves. These people are not Instead of accepting gold coins as ransom, Rakshasa demons provide various strategic levels of rare resources, and even release them as rewards for construction after helping the dark elves build newly occupied lands. As for those who are the strongest and most potential The Rakshasa demons will be permanently detained. Of course, this part of the dark elves will not admit it. The names of these Rakshasa demons are not included in the list of redeemable personnel they announced.

Naturally, it was impossible for Princess Elissari to get a detailed list of people in the Fetahab area, so she could only negotiate with the prisoner list provided by the dark elves. The prices of the Rakshasa demon people in the third tier were very cheap. Princess Elissari only needs to pay three times the price of a young slave to ransom them. These people have been cleared out by the dark elves and imprisoned together. As long as the ransom of the Rakshasa demon is in place, they can leave at any time.

The negotiations were the most difficult and had the most disagreements, naturally focusing on the second-level lists. Princess Elissari strongly opposed Aledia's conditions, but in the end she had no choice but to agree to the dark elf's conditions, but In order to prevent the heavy labor from causing irreparable damage to her people, Elissari proposed that the Rakshasa demon provide three times the number of young slaves for free to replace the work of these Rakshasa demon captives. As long as the slaves are in place, the dark elves will release them. These Rakshasa demon captives,

Aledia agreed to the first half of the proposal. Anyway, the dark elves needed enough labor. It didn't matter whether it was an underground dwarf or a Rakshasa demon. This did not conflict with her previous idea. However, Aledia refused to advance in advance. To release these captives, she said that the area can be subdivided. If the construction purpose of any territory is achieved, the Rakshasa demon captives imprisoned in this area can be released. Otherwise, these Rakshasa demon captives must be under the control of the dark elves. Under this situation, any attempt to rescue or escape privately will be punished with the most bloody punishment.

In the end, Princess Elissari had no choice but to compromise and agreed to Aledia's conditions. Of course, this kind of negotiation was only an intentional negotiation on the overall situation. The specific details would definitely wait until the professional diplomatic negotiation team sent by the Holy City. Processing, so Princess Elissari only had to wait anxiously, but during the waiting time, Princess Elissari did not just waste time like this. Accompanied by several legendary peak powerhouses from the dark elves, she traveled almost everywhere She visited all nearby camps where prisoners were held, and tried to get as much treatment as possible for her people. As long as it did not involve safety issues, Aledia agreed to almost all of Princess Elissari's requests. Of course, the dark elves also You will not pay in vain, all expenses including food, water, etc. will be recorded in detail and paid by the Rakshasa demon afterwards.
