Dakuru's thoughts were naturally from the perspective of the Titan Mountain Forest Clan, but his behavior in sticking to the bottom line was not smooth enough, so that it revealed his condescending and arrogant temperament. This made Farasi very unhappy, but she He has received a good education in aristocratic etiquette since he was a child, and he did not break out on the spot. If it were Ryan, he might have slapped the table and pointed at Drakuru and issued an ultimatum. Anyway, Pampalius can survive until now because of Ryan does not want to escalate the situation further, but if the Titan Mountain Forest Clan is not sincere in solving the problem at all, Ryan does not mind continuing to complete the things that were not completed in the Shamakaro Fortress.
Even without considering Drakuru's arrogant negotiating attitude, Farasi would never accept the proposal to redeem Pampalius with money and wealth. You must know that this legitimate son of the Titan Mountain Forest Clan, even without considering his identity and background, Just a strong person in the advanced field has enough strength to dominate the other world. If a being like Aledia is captured alive by the opponent and allowed to be fully redeemed, the burden will be more than just some property. It is often accompanied by more political, military and economic interests. Although such conditions are very harsh, don't forget that the conditions for cultivating a strong person in the field are dozens of times more demanding. How stupid does Farasi have to be? Only then will they accept Dakuru’s ransom request for property.
As a magician and former Grand Consul of the Human Empire, Farasi's intelligence must be smarter than ordinary people, so it is naturally impossible for her to agree to Drakuru's request, so the negotiation has reached a deadlock. Generally speaking, when negotiations encounter this After this situation, the disadvantaged party is often forced to give up some benefits. However, Dakuru remained unmoved during the negotiations. He did not know that he had been severely warned by the family's senior officials during this trip and did not dare to make any cross-border moves. , or because Ryan's previous actions to express goodwill were considered by him to be weak and timid, so he persisted in refusing to make any concessions, hoping to wait until the moment Ryan relented.
After making no progress for several days, Farasi's patience was finally exhausted. She was at a disadvantage and refused to give in. She had no sense of being a loser at all. In addition, Dakulu always showed his desire in his bones. Arrogant and contemptuous, Faras gave up negotiating in person, and instead appointed Matron Maris as her representative, asking her to come to the negotiating table every five days to negotiate with Drakuru.
Although Mother Maris is far less powerful than Drakuru, she represents Farasi, a powerful person in the advanced field, and Ryan behind Farasi, and Farasi has not previously found fault with Drakuru as being inferior to her. , so Drakuru couldn't find any fault with this matter. He also knew very well that Faras had no hope of continuing the negotiations and reaching a substantive agreement. This was why Maris, a dark elf, was left to deal with it. himself, so after an interval of almost half a month, he took the initiative to propose a new solution to Farasi,
Drakuru's proposal is very simple, that is, both sides select personnel and choose a place and time to fight again. If Ryan and the others are defeated, not only must Pampalius be unconditionally released, but they must also withdraw from the covenant with the dark elves and turn to another one. As for becoming a vassal of the Titan Mountain Forest Clan, of course, if Ryan and the others defeat their opponents, Dakuru is willing to reach an understanding with Ryan on behalf of the Titan Mountain Forest Clan and unconditionally accept Ryan's three demands. Members of the Titan Mountain Forest Clan will no longer step into the world that belongs to Ryan and him. The territory of an ally's ally, both parties become allies and do not invade each other's territory.
Drakuru's proposal was really beyond Ryan's expectation, because it involved dark elves, so he and Faras directly approached Lord Herest who was staying in Elmida City as Boyardinas. Distracted by their mother's reincarnation, the three of them stayed behind closed doors and began to carefully discuss countermeasures. For Ryan, Dakuru's proposal was tantamount to directly obliterating his victory in the Shamakaro Fortress and putting the two sides back on the agenda. Deciding the outcome together made Ryan label Dakuru as cunning. For such a character who likes to play tricks, Ryan did not intend to accept any of his proposals. This is of course not that Ryan is timid, but that he knows that the other party He will definitely come up with some plots and tricks to plot against himself, but he still has to plunge into the trap regardless. This kind of behavior is not brave, but stupid.
Of course Faras will support Ryan's choice, especially after listening to the analysis of Mother Hester's clone Boyadinas, she is even more determined on this point, because Boyadinas very clearly pointed out that the Titan Mountain Forest clan may Very, very powerful, but the distance from the other world is too far. It is impossible for them to mobilize more power to come here unless the family is determined to treat the other world as the core interest of the family in the future. This is obviously It’s unlikely. After all, the Titans here belong to the Rhea Archon, not to the owner of the Mountain Forest Family, Queen of the Night Teres.
Since it can only be in the nature of reinforcements, there are naturally only a handful of domain-level powerhouses in the Titan Mountain Forest Clan. If the domain powerhouses that Ryan killed previously all belong to the Mountain Forest Clan, then this family's strength in other worlds will be limited. The strength is probably not even able to support the next battle. In this case, they actually challenge Ryan. This can only show that there is another conspiracy. Maybe at the same time as this battle begins, another attack on New El The attack on Mida City will also break out at the same time. At that time, Ryan, who is fighting with all his strength, does not have more strong men to protect a city that is almost undefended for the strong men in the field.
Seeing that the Lane and his wife were about to reject Dakuru's proposal, Boyardinas suddenly smiled and proposed a new plan. She said to Lane and Faras: "You can simply reject these proposals that deviate from the subject, and then Tell that Drakuru in the strongest possible way. If he cannot accept your plan within the time limit, you will directly auction Pampalius as a commodity. I believe there will be many people in the other world who are very concerned about a high-level body. Use the body of a strong person in the field, such as a slaad, or simply use methods similar to those of the Heartless to turn this guy into a combat puppet. Anyway, the benefits obtained will definitely be greater than those of the stingy Dakuru. The price paid is much more.”
After hearing what Boyadinas said, Ryan and Faras looked at each other, and the two couldn't help but laugh. I believe that this way, the face of Dakuru must be very ugly, and it can be regarded as a severe revenge on this guy. The previous arrogant negotiation attitude, as for the auction of Pampalius, would definitely make Ryan completely offend the Titan Mountain Forest family. Ryan and Faras did not take it to heart, since this family did not even have the sincerity to redeem their direct descendants. None. Do Ryan and the others have to keep Pampalius indefinitely? This is not just a trivial matter like food. If Pampalius is in New Hermida City for one day, Ryan must have enough strength. There are many people stationed here to prevent Pampalius from making any changes, and also to prevent the powerful Titans from coming to attack and rescue people. His manpower is not many, how can he waste it like this
Soon came the day of negotiations every five days. Due to the lack of progress in the past, such meetings often dispersed on their own after just briefing each other's positions. However, when Dakuru entered the negotiation room, he was surprised. He was surprised to find that Faras, who had not seen him for more than ten days, was actually sitting at the negotiation table. This discovery made Dakuru a little excited, because in this stalemate, whoever can't help but give in first will quickly lose the initiative. , whether Farasi accepts the offer of another fight, or gives up the previous request and agrees to Drakuru's offer to redeem Pampaleus with money, it is a good thing for Drakuru.
Dakuru's good mood immediately fell into a cold abyss a minute later. The smile that was still vaguely visible on his face was completely solidified on his skin at this moment, because Farasi said to him in a very formal and serious tone. : "Dakuru, on behalf of Ryan and his forces, I formally inform you that as the victors of Shamakaro Fortress, we have the right to dispose of the spoils obtained in that battle. We have made enough efforts before. However, you have completely failed to express corresponding sincerity. In view of this, we have decided to immediately terminate this protracted negotiation and will no longer accept any form of negotiation or any form of ransom proposed by you."
Faras paused for a moment after saying this, and then recounted what he had discussed with Ryan and the others yesterday: "Due to the recent war, New Hermida City suffered your sneak attack and a huge crisis occurred. As the defeated party, you should give adequate compensation to the victor. However, you are delaying it by various means and are unwilling to reach any substantive agreement with us on compensation, so we have to find another way. As Shama The trophy of Carlo Fortress, the high-level domain expert Pampalius, will become the last bid in the next auction held in New Hermida City. Starting today, we will announce this announcement through all the people we can reach. By all means, any force, organization, or individual in the outside world, as long as they are willing to pay more than others, can get this auction item as they wish. We hope that in this way we can raise funds to rebuild New El. All expenses in Meda City.”
Drakuru actually listened to Farasi's announcement completely, but this was not something he could tolerate. Instead, he was frightened by Farasi's words. Not to mention the other world, even if he looked at the Titan clan's forces, In the countless planes that rule, when has a living high-level domain expert been bid as an auction item? Not to mention that this auction item is the Shanlin Clan, which ranks among the top 20 in terms of overall strength of the Titan clan. Once the auction is held, In the beginning, let’s not mention what kind of revenge Ryan will suffer. As the person involved, Dakuru will definitely fall into a point of no return.
