Hearing Yang Yu's curse, the negotiation team of the Rose Empire almost jumped up from their chairs, and each of them punched Yang Yu to death.
But under pressure from the dragon, the negotiation team controlled their emotions, sat back on their chairs, and waited for Liuqi to guide the direction of the negotiations.
As the head of the intelligence department, Ryuusi originally had other important tasks to attend to.
—Organize people to investigate the destruction of the magic communication device, and it would be best if we can find out who the traitor is.
It was only when this emergency happened that she put down her work and rushed over.
Before the formal negotiations, Liuqi was also full of confidence.
The so-called negotiation is a game in which both parties strive for their own interests.
It may seem incredible that the Wansheng Congress proposed such an exchange table, but in fact it is just a means to gain the initiative in negotiations. As long as the empire can counter the moves, the initiative in negotiations will still fall into the hands of the empire.
However, no matter what rhetoric Liuqi used, he was unable to convince Wanshengguo to change his mind.
The envoys from Wansheng were somewhat moved by what she said, however, the man sitting in the main negotiation seat and the prime minister of Wansheng did not show the slightest sign of hesitation on their faces.
Negotiation, negotiation, itself must be based on the premise that both parties want to talk.
Liuqi knew that he might return empty-handed this time.
The other party doesn't want to talk, but only puts forward his own demands, with an attitude of "accept it if you accept it, and get out of here if you don't." Even if you have some negotiation skills, it will be of no avail.
"Sir, don't be so impulsive. Let's calm down and think long and hard.
The orcs we captured are the people of Wansheng Kingdom. I think they would rather return to the embrace of Wansheng Kingdom than to human countries, and the same goes for our soldiers.
This time, both sides adopted special operations.
The losses on both sides were heavy, and the number of prisoners was enormous.”
Liuqi made a final attempt, but what awaited her was only Yang Yu's sneer.
“You know that the losses were heavy, but you don’t even think about who started the war and who adopted that tactic
Chief Negotiator, you who are well versed in all kinds of intelligence, must know my identity, right
I have already witnessed the attitude of the Rose Empire in the Servomon Plain this winter.
From the very beginning, you planned to completely wipe out our Wansheng Country.
It's a rare opportunity to catch so many of you this winter, so we won't let it go so easily.
Besides, we like the armor and weapons of your soldiers very much. They are our spoils of war and we have the right to confiscate them.
You can take whatever you want of the spoils from the orc captives."
Yang Yu's words were full of provocation, and he threw all the past negotiation rules out of the window.
Even though Liuqi made such a huge concession as "As long as the soldiers maintain ownership of their belongings, we are willing to exchange ten orc soldiers for only eight soldiers of the same rank", Yang Yu's expression remained unchanged.
The first negotiation ended in a bad mood.
Both parties temporarily returned to their respective camps to sort out their thoughts and prepare for the second round of negotiations.
As soon as he returned to Xiaoye City, the envoys from Wansheng Country immediately surrounded Yang Yu and told him to quit while he was ahead and leave some room for them to meet again in the future.
Yang Yu said that the other party had never been a human being before, so why should they be so sentimental and repay evil with kindness
After Liuqi and the Rose negotiation team returned to the camp, they immediately used the crystal ball to contact the emperor of the Rose Empire and informed the emperor of the negotiation process and results of Luo Hui just now.
"Really? Have they already shown an attitude of not wanting to negotiate
Those elite troops were revealed too early. Once this year is over and they are sent out in the spring and summer, the orcs' hopes of a comeback will be completely crushed.
No, the tactics were good enough this year. What went wrong
We shouldn’t have lost so many people.”
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Luo Hui summoned all the generals to hold a meeting, asking about the pros and cons of refusal and whether to make greater concessions to take back the soldiers of the Rose Empire.
"The orcs are too arrogant this time. They don't take us seriously at all. We must not encourage their arrogance."
“Having said that, before we dispatched the troops, we made a promise to the soldiers that if they were forced to surrender due to a huge disparity in strength, we would immediately bring them back.
We have a lot of orc laborers on hand, so we have the courage to make such a promise. If we cannot redeem them, it will damage our morale to some extent."
"After all, why did Wansheng capture so many of our troops? Our extermination plan should be perfect. What did General Skarle and General Ulan say? They were directly connected with the extermination troops, so they should know some intelligence."
"totally no idea.
I heard that by the time they discovered it, Wansheng's national army had already penetrated deep into the hinterland.
The other extermination troops on standby did not notice anything unusual either.
Just like that, without anyone noticing."
"How is this possible? Can they fly? They have the Chiroptera, just ignore what I said. Even if they have the Chiroptera, they can't transport that many people at a time."
"Fifty thousand men, it will take a lot of time to train so many new soldiers. If we lose so many soldiers and only use new soldiers to fill the gap, I don't know if it will cause gaps in our battle formation.
The death and injury statistics have not yet come out, but this winter is undoubtedly the heaviest loss.
If we deploy soldiers from other places, Yunyun should still be able to fight, but."
The debate on what might happen after the rejection lasted for more than an hour.
In the end, the emperor of the Rose Empire chose to compromise under the advice of the general who guarded the country.
However, the compromises made in this negotiation will be repaid double in the offensive operations in the spring and summer.
March 3, 415th year of the Laux calendar.
The second round of negotiations began, which was also the final round of negotiations.
On this day, Liuqi tried to get Yang Yu to take another step back.
However, this time, before Liuqi could speak, Yang Yu miraculously made the first concession.
Yang Yu added a condition that the exchange could be made for soldiers with B rating in the original conditions, but the exchange still had to be done on a one-to-one basis.
"This time, let's consider it as a special offer for you. I'll add this one to the original offer.
If you accept the exchange, then go ahead and exchange it.
Don’t accept it, just take it as it is.”
"Why do you make it a prerequisite that we fully accept your terms?"
Liuqi kept observing Yang Yu, trying to read some of his thoughts from his face.
However, she had never seen someone dressed in such a unique way before, so how could she read his thoughts
Yang Yu crossed his fingers, stretched himself, and replied:
"You don't have a choice, do you?"
