The essence of negotiation is a compromise, which is an agreement reached by the negotiating parties after paying a certain price.
Therefore, in the negotiation, if you accidentally leak your own chassis, you will be completely passive, and if you are caught by the other party, you will lose as a matter of course.
Then, when I knew Sandro's desire, I was destined to occupy the top of the negotiation. When the chips in our hands were not equal, it was impossible for me to lose the negotiation.
He needs my help, and I don't care whether he has him or not. The unequal negotiating position allows me not only to take the initiative, but also to make free bids.
"... At least I know that what Esso yearns for is definitely not a kingdom of the dead. He spent so much thought on corrupting the entire Bayer just to build a kingdom where the living and the dead exist, and the pure kingdom of the dead is on the main plane. It won't last long."
The kingdom of the dead has broken the cycle of reincarnation and cut off the source of belief from the very beginning. Even if the gods can tolerate it, the natural balance of this land will eventually collapse.
The Undead Emperor is a mage, and it is impossible for them not to study these. Even in the peak period of the Taly Republic, they were not stupid enough to convert everyone into undead, which would also cut off the future and hope of the entire country.
"... Then, there is only one way for you to realize the rejuvenation of the Taly Republic. Instead of working hard to build a territory, and then using countless years and goodwill in exchange for reconciliation with human beings, it is better to go directly to my ship. Anyway, the Lan Alliance has accepted it. After the Ciro Empire, why not have another Taly Republic?"
Under normal circumstances, to achieve the revival of the Taly Republic, you must first win the holy war, obtain a piece of land in the fierce battle between the two camps of order and chaos, and then rebuild the country. It also depends on the attitude of the new gods.
If you think about it, it is an epic level of difficulty. The undead emperors are definitely not weak. Those old guys are enough to deter the gods and the main gods. The main god-level Heng is definitely not the most difficult to deal with among the undead emperors. As far as I know, the Shande in front of me Ruby's ten constants are more dangerous together, but even if the undead emperors work together, the most optimistic dare not say that they will definitely win the holy war.
The undead legion is very strong. It requires high-level and high-level, strategic weapons and strategic weapons, and cannon fodder is endless. Their biggest weakness is the natural hostility of the living to the dead. It is impossible for them to have strong enough allies. , The giants have to worry that they will be turned into skeleton giants. The dragons are naturally hostile to the undead because of the bone dragons, and the gods are even more hostile to these undead who break reincarnation and waste their beliefs.
They do not have a stable territory yet, they are still in a weak position, and the whole world does not pay enough attention to them, and even regard them as pawns that can be used. A healthy trend... The whole world will be their enemy!
On this point, the Ciro Empire has the most say. After so many years, none of their allies has not said it. Even if the land is a desert and death swamp in the forbidden area of the living, other countries are still full of hostility and eyeing it, always on alert. With them, as long as they dare to attack any human country, they will definitely usher in a "just coalition army".
This is not fair, but it is a fact. Compared with similar racial discrimination, the discrimination of life and death is clothed with the cloak of righteousness and absolute justice, and the historical actions of the undead and the necromancer have also given this kind of Sufficient factual support for discrimination and prejudice.
"...Unless we also find a no-man's land, the Republic of the Dead cannot be rebuilt successfully."
I don't believe that a wise man who can become the undead emperor will not see this.
But to be able to break through the theoretical impossibility and become the existence of the undead emperor, he just found a way, yes, it is Esso.
Esso's plan was very thorough. He laid out slowly, and then parasitized into a certain country like a parasite. With the development of the other party's shell and international relations, the living and the dead mixed together, and the dead gradually became the top of the country. Backbone, let other countries acquiesce to the existence of the undead kingdom first, reduce the hostile process, and find the right time to change skins to a certain extent... It seems very similar to establishing a pseudo-regime in an enemy country? In terms of reducing hostility and reducing variables, it is indeed the same thing.
But now, it is no longer possible.
It can be said that the moment Esso fell, the undead invasion failed inexplicably for the most part, and with the analysis of his memory and knowledge, I admired him more and more, and also learned that he gave me these memories. "Attention".
The one on the cloud tower in the Kingdom of Mage is aimed at the "nuclear bomb" of the Council of Truth, the alchemy formula that can undead the people of Baer, the control of Oros, and the high-level people in various countries who have been hooked up with the immortal temptation and the undead. The list of spies, these things are big killers. If they fall into the hands of ambitious careerists, there is no need to say what will happen.
For Esso, this is a gamble, a "anyway, there is no worse choice, let's throw the nuke button to another undead emperor and try it" There is a choice of winning or losing, if I am a normal The undead emperor... No, it only needs to be an undead monarch like Heloise, no, even an ordinary human, what will he do after getting these chips, just thinking about it makes people feel terrified.
"I" took over Esso's intelligence network in Baier and carried out a nationwide process of undead transformation. He controlled Emperor Oros with the control valve in his hand, and directly controlled the entire kingdom of Baier. By the way, he could use a nuclear bomb to kill the senior management of the country of mages. End the most dangerous external threats.
Then... Then wait for the holy war to come, one after another, the undead emperors, and the undead natural disasters.
In this series of processes, "I" will gain a lot, and can even master the strongest country in the entire continent and become the supreme king, but by then, the Tali Republic, which has a solid base, has successfully recovered most of it. The Republic also got a golden start, the undead emperors would not miss such a good opportunity, the possibility of splitting was also greatly reduced, and Esso's ideal was also realized.
This is not my random guess. With the analysis of Esso's memory, I not only found the reason for the slow analysis process, but also the analysis key set by Esso - "the emotion of desire for more power and power" ."
"Desire for strength, desire for a higher status, I will give you the chips and strength to become the supreme."
It sounds like a middle school, but this is the key set by Esso, and when this treasure is in front of you, how many people can resist the temptation of instinct.
The desire for power and more power is simply a biological instinct. The careerists will naturally use the chips to get a step forward, and Esso's goal has been achieved.
It can be said that if it wasn't for me being a little weird... Well, I mean being different, I'm afraid I really got his way.
And if I don't have that ambition (which is unbelievable for an undead emperor), the speed of parsing is naturally slow, then the nuclear bomb left in the Council of Truth is really likely to be detonated by his backhand, destroying the undead in advance. The most powerful threat that the emperors are likely to encounter after the invasion from Baier is the human archmage group.
The moment before I died, I completed this layout with a deep grasp of human nature. No matter whether I win or lose, I will make money. Even if I perish, I can realize my ideal. Even though I have raised my evaluation of the undead emperor Esso countless times, but Finally, I have to say the word "serving".
Cough, pulling away, from another point of view, killing Esso at that time was really a blind cat and a dead mouse, and the fall of Esso also announced in advance that the recovery of the Tali Republic had encountered obstacles.
The undead emperors can't be fools. On the contrary, they are absolutely the peak of the multiverse in terms of wisdom. They are willing to agree to Esso's invasion because of the possibility of success. The hearts of the people are scattered, let alone the team can't bring it, they just scattered.
Although they themselves know that if this continues, they will split up and make a fortune to go home, but this kind of result seems to be acceptable, at least better than betting on the whole family in a game with a low probability of winning and losing everything... In fact, When I think about this, I feel that sometimes people are better to be stupid. Many idiots finally rely on perseverance to achieve great things that "smart people" can't do in a lifetime, while many "smart people" who could have done it, feel that "Can't do it", "wasted life and time", and gave up the opportunity that originally belonged to him.
But in a sense, the undead have little demand for the main plane, which is the source of their lack of fighting spirit. They are not like other plane invaders longing for the living space and the future of the race, except for a very small number of existences , Most of the undead emperors only returned to their hometowns because of the honor of their homeland. When they encountered a setback, they would retreat and make small calculations.
Cough cough, it seems to have gone astray again, let’s just say the conclusion directly.
Esso's accidental fall made the original plan a futile, and also let the undead emperors have their own way of making a living, and the withered people in front of me came to me.
"What do you think of the Taly Republic? The revival you want is the inheritance of civilization, or the return of the country's name and the undead consul, which is directly related to the possibility of our future cooperation."
In fact, what I asked was nonsense. If it was the latter, he would not come to me at all, and he would not be surprised or shocked by the sight of the undead and the living living on an equal footing. What he wanted was the inheritance of civilization and culture.
But at this time, as long as he speaks out, it is equivalent to putting forward his own purpose in the negotiation in advance, then it is my turn to make a free price.
Sandro the Blighter moved his lips, but in the end he didn't say anything. When I was wondering if he was going to stick it out or if he had new negotiating skills, he made a sudden move, the mummy translator jumped out again, and then he got stuck. The main neck gasped.
Then I understood, the number of times I speak is too small, I don’t know how to use the channel, and I won’t be able to speak when I’m excited…
In the past, he was probably used to giving orders in the language of the soul, but for existences like us whose body is the soul, opening up one's soul at will is not only a provocation, but also extremely dangerous, and it can be avoided naturally.
"What Your Majesty desires is the inheritance of civilization, at least to allow the history and culture of the Taly Republic to multiply again on this land..."
Finally, this mummy's mouth is still neat, and this addition is still very timely.
I can understand this mentality, because this is also the original goal of Esso. He originally planned to enforce the ancient Taly language in the newborn after the undead controlled Baier, and forced the promotion of undead magic, the history of the Taly Republic and other courses. The study of humanities, and then extended to politics, philosophy, arts and humanities, and then gradually realize the recovery of the entire civilization.
And this, for other countries, must be a prerequisite for conquest, but for us, it is not difficult to achieve.
The Ciro Empire had a mix of undead and humans, and they had no culture and heritage. The introduction of the Ciro Empire could achieve part of the goal.
The Lan Alliance has made the practice of undead magic public and normalized. Even the great elf empire can be revived, and it is not impossible to revive a tower force republic. It only needs to give up some resources from the Shiro empire. The huge benefits that can be obtained are really not a thing.
Moreover, after the war, if the Lan Alliance can have the last laugh, there will be plenty of open space at that time, and there is no resistance or hostility to the undead. What can't it do to revive a republic of the undead with most of the living.
"... The Lan Alliance is the only mainland country that can accept you. You have also seen the popularity of undead and undead magic here, but how much you can get in the end depends on your efforts."
We have enough chips on our side, but not much to pay. No matter how you look at it, it is a business worth looking forward to.
To tell the truth, I think as long as the Sandro in front of him is willing to contribute, it is already worth the fare. Not to mention, at least in terms of combat power, this one is also the pinnacle among the undead emperors.
Of course, I won't tell the truth, it's impossible to revive a country, this thing can't be a one-stop business.
It is impossible for us to sign a written agreement this time. On the bright side, the undead emperors are still attacking Baier. After these messes are spread, it will not only shake the morale and morale of the undead, but also make the Lan Alliance collude and invade. stigma.
At that time, let alone international isolation, the Church of the Holy Spirit had every reason to conduct a northern expedition.
"Some things can only be done, not said..."
Since the Taly Republic intends to be reborn in the Northland, then it will definitely send precious treasure houses such as personnel, magic materials, historical documents, etc., and the Northland will prepare the space and personnel to accept these materials, and arrange for orphans and teenagers to learn the greetings of the Republic. , when the progress of the recovery of the Republic is placed in front of the Great Undead Emperor, it will be a matter of course.
If they are satisfied, it means that they recognize the new Tali Republic, and whoever moves the Northland is equivalent to moving their lifeblood.
As for the other undead emperors, we won't care. The only alliance with me is Sandro.
Of course, these things must not be left with words and evidence. As for the rumors that may be caused by the leakage of intelligence... There are so many rumors these days, I will die if I don't recognize them.
The privilege of a superpower is not that of a professional foreign exchange hooligan. It is just empty words to deny some rumors. As long as the hard evidence is not caught, it is too easy for the propaganda caliber and diplomats of the Lan Alliance.
Finally, Sandro opened his eyes, which were blank, but the outstretched arm and the forced smile were undoubtedly a sign of "deal".
When the right hand of the dead and the living are held together, the covenant in this shadow is fulfilled.
