Chapter 902： negotiated ransom

"Everyone, since everyone is here, let's enter the conference hall first!"

At this time, President Theodore saw that since the protagonists of both parties had already arrived, he immediately invited both parties to enter the parliament building.

"Okay, Lord Narant, please!"

This Duke Michel nodded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Narant, his posture can be said to be reduced to the lowest level.

"Then I'm welcome!" Narant didn't back down and walked at the forefront calmly.

When Duke Michelle saw this, there was a trace of solemnity in his eyes.

The young man in front of him seems to be more wise than he imagined. No wonder he was able to become famous in this sacred continent in such a short period of time.

Under normal circumstances, this dignified duke has such a posture, then if he is to save face, he should also decline one or two.

But now the other party accepts it calmly, without feeling any embarrassment at all.

This shows that the other party is not an extremely modest person like an ordinary young noble.

After thinking about how to make this Narant reduce the ransom to a minimum, Duke Michelle stepped forward.

Immediately afterwards, representatives of the other principalities and empires followed suit.

The council hall of this alliance is similar to the hall of the presbytery in the previous life.

The layout is presented as a semi-circle, with seating high around and low in the middle.

And so far, all the principalities are in semi-circular positions, only there is a row of horizontal long tables on the high platform in front of them.

And this horizontal long table is usually the position of the six empires and the chairman of Theodore.

Because the main thing today is that Narant negotiates with Michelle to redeem the captives.

Therefore, after the two sides entered the parliament hall, they went directly to the very center of the hall.

There is a long table for speaking.

At this moment, the two ends of the long table have visited the armchairs, which are specially prepared for the two of them.

After the two were seated, President Theodore above said at this time: "Everyone, I think everyone knows what is going on today, so I won't say more!"

"As for Baron Narant and Duke Michel, since you have invited our representatives to witness, the results of your negotiations today will be notarized."

"Afterwards, I hope you can all take the results of the negotiation seriously, otherwise, if one party violates it, the alliance has the right to make corresponding punishments!"

"Baron Narrant, Duke Michel, do you both understand?"

"clear!"

"clear!"

Narant and Michelle nodded towards President Theodore.

"Very good, then the two of you can start!"

After speaking, President Theodore took his seat and said nothing more.

At this time, Duke Michel immediately took over the topic, looked at Narant and asked genially, "Baron Narant, this friction is really unnecessary!"

"It's a pity that many nobles in our duchy couldn't help themselves after hearing the bad news of the death of the eldest prince, so they promoted this expedition."

"Originally, when the catastrophe is about to come, our entire human race should unite and help each other to deal with the coming dark abyss."

"But then again, since things have already happened, it's useless to say that."

"Fortunately, things haven't reached the worst level yet, so there is still room for a party!"

"Baron Narant, I, Michelle, solemnly ask you, could you please release the captured Bach allied knights for the sake of the coming catastrophe."

"After all, this is a lot of power, and it can play a big role in dealing with dark creatures in a few months."

Duke Michele's words were sincere, and he played the emotional card as soon as he entered the field.

And want to use the catastrophe to cover Narant.

But who is Narant, Narant, who has lived in two generations, knows that any face is false.

In front of Lizi, face is not worth mentioning.

Immediately, Pi Xiaorou said without a smile: "Duke Michelle, what you said is light."

"You Bach Empire's 100,000 coalition forces came to attack me, a small barony, and there are three sky knights among them."

"Just ask, when they came, did they think about the catastrophe that would come in a few months."

"And if I, Narant, are alive, can I also make a contribution to this continent?"

"Obviously, they don't. They only think about how to flatten my storm and how to destroy my Narant."

"It's a pity that you underestimated me, Narant. In the end, the 100,000 coalition forces were completely destroyed by my Narant."

"Now, you want to coerce me with carelessness, do you really think that I, Narant, are a three-year-old child?"

"Duke Michel, I put my words here today. If I want to redeem the prisoners of the Bach coalition, then I will clearly send the gold coins I want."

"I, Narant, are very reasonable. As long as there are enough gold coins, whether it is an ordinary extraordinary knight or Duke Piccolo, I will ensure that they return to the Bach Empire safely."

After Mi listened to Narant's rude words, Duke Michel frowned.

This Narant is really like what he thought before, and he will not be influenced by face.

However, in order to minimize losses, Michelle

Jue was still genial, not at all angry that Narant didn't give face.

"Baron Narant, I know that it is wrong for our Bach Empire to dispatch coalition forces to attack Stormwind Territory this time."

"I also know that Baron Narant must be annoyed, but, Baron Narant, you also said that you have not suffered any loss because of this."

"It's better than this, Baron Narant, our Bach Empire is willing to pay a compensation to Baron Narant and publicly apologize to Baron Narant."

"Then how about we both shake hands?"

"Baron Narant, you are an excellent young noble, and now the Holy Continent has emerged."

"Presumably, Baron Narant will definitely have an immeasurable future in the future, so Baron Narant's mind is also extremely broad."

Duke Michel continued to compliment Narrant.

In this world, the most expensive and most important thing is your own face.

And Michelle, the dignified Duke, is so complimented, any nobleman may be a little flirtatious, and then set up by the noble people created by Duke Michelle.

Once you have this layer of personality as a scruple, then it's time for Michelle to play.

In the past, this move was very effective for any noble, and although Michelle Narant was a little different, it shouldn't really be unaffected at all.

But the next moment, Michelle was disappointed, because Narant was really not affected at all.

"Duke Mihir, it's just the so-called talking about money hurting feelings. I, Narant, are a bit of a philistine, so I should talk about money first!"

"In addition, if Duke Michel is still so insincere, then I don't think it is necessary to continue this meeting today."

After hearing the words, Mihir paused for a moment, and then the original geniality on his face finally disappeared, and turned serious.

"Baron Narant, you are really different!" Michelle said to Narant, whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.

Immediately, he paused and continued: "Baron Narant, I wonder how many soldiers in our Bach Empire were captured by you this time?"

"Including Duke Piccolo and others, there are a total of 63,212 people!"

Narant gave a direct answer, and then instructed Lilia next to him, asking Lilia to hand over the list of prisoners to Duke Michel.

Taking the list, Michelle took a deep breath.

There were more than 60,000 people captured by Narant. He couldn't imagine how the battle was fought, which caused so many coalition soldiers to be captured by Narant.

Of course, the more than 37,000 people who died made his heart hurt even more.

"Baron Narant, I read the list, but the amount of ransom you gave a few days ago was wrong?"

"Last time you didn't say that each ordinary extraordinary knight is a thousand gold coins, while the rest of the commanders and Duke Bick are more expensive."

"Why is the ransom of ordinary soldiers rising by 100 gold coins now?"

"And the gold coins of Duke Bick and others have risen by tens of thousands of gold coins?"

Duke Michel was a little puzzled with the list.

"This, Duke Michel, have you forgotten that these coalition knights need to eat and drink in my territory, otherwise they can live without food or drink for a month?"

"In the past month or so, I have provided them with delicious food, and naturally I have to charge for food!" Narant said with a smile.

"Hey, what kind of food are you paying for? Ordinary extraordinary knights are worth more than a few gold coins a day."

"And Duke Piccolo and other commanders cost thousands of gold coins a day!"

Michelle gasped for a moment.

Although the Narant lion opened his mouth at this price, they would not recognize it in the Bach Empire.

But Duke Michel was still shocked by Narant's shamelessness.

Even the representatives of the nobles around the seat who were helping to witness it looked at Narant with a strange expression.

It was also the first time they saw a noble who got into the eyes of money like this.

"Duke Michelle, don't feel unreasonable."

"I won't talk about ordinary extraordinary knights, it's Duke Piccolo and the commanders. I provide them with the best living conditions!"

"High-end beds, high-end quilts, tables and chairs, etc."

"In addition, the Principality gives them food and wine every day without stopping. Not only does it have unlimited potions and wine, but it also has a variety of medium and high-level Warcraft barbecues."

"So, I'm charging for what I deserve!" Narant didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, and said seriously the reason why he charged such a high food fee.

Michelle took another deep breath.

"Baron Narant, it is impossible for our Bach Empire to pay."

"Because, with that kind of ransom, we can cultivate several times as many extraordinary knights."

"So, I hope you can show some sincerity and let us solve this matter seriously!" said Duke Michelle.

"Hehe, Duke Michel, at what price does your Bach Empire want to redeem these extraordinary knights." Narant didn't hesitate and asked directly.

He said a few days ago that it was a lion's big mouth, and naturally he couldn't hold on to it, so he might as well start negotiating the price directly.

grid.

"One hundred thousand gold coins, Baron Narant, you Stormland have no losses at all in this battle."

"I heard that even the battle is carried out in the wilderness, so our Bach Empire is willing to pay 100,000 gold coins as an apology to you, Baron Narant."

"Duke Michelle, you are so disingenuous, even a beggar can't give away 100,000 gold coins like this!"

"If this is the case, then I might as well sell these extraordinary knights in a package, such as selling them to various empires as slave troops.

"I think, whether it is some duchies or other empires, they will be interested in the Transcendent Knight Slaves."

Narant did not expect that Michelle would dare to make such a bargain.

Tens of millions of ransoms reduced him thousands of times in one sentence.

This is where the counter-offer is, this has already fallen into the core of the earth.

"Baron Narant, 100,000 gold coins are really a lot."

"Fifty million gold coins, Duke Michelle, this is what I want." Narant interrupted Michelle directly.

"Impossible, Baron Narant, in our Holy Continent, even for a war between empires, the reparations paid will not exceed millions of gold coins at most.

"However, since Baron Narant is not satisfied with the price I gave earlier, then I will add some more, 500,000 gold coins. What do you think of Narant's toasting?"

"Duke Michel, this price is not negotiable." Narant waved his hand directly.

"one million!"

Seeing this, Michelle continued to increase the price.

"No!" Narant shook his head.

"Two million!"

"Or not!"

"Three million gold coins!" Duke Michel gritted his teeth.

Narant remained unmoved.

"Five million gold coins, Baron Narrant, is the highest price."

"If you are not willing, then I don't think it is necessary to continue this negotiation today."

"In addition, regarding your previous threat from Baron Narant, although our Bach Empire does not want to cause trouble, we will not allow the allied knights to be humiliated."

"If any empire or principality dares to take these coalition knights as prisoners, it will be an enemy of our Bach Empire."

Being rejected again and again by Narant Duke Michel is furious.

Glancing around, he directly deciphered the words of Narant's previous threat.

After all, with his words, the principalities and empires of the Holy Alliance really dare not buy those captives easily.

"Really, Duke Michelle, this is 60,000 extraordinary people, and you give up when you say you give up."

"However, you have also increased the ransom so much. I, Narant, are not a stingy person. Let's do this, 15 million gold coins. Let's have a sincere exchange process."

"Impossible!" Michelle shook her head decisively.

"Baron Narant, more than five million gold coins, we really have nothing to talk about!"

"Because our Majesty King Bach has given the biggest bottom line is so much."

"Since Michel and the Duke said so, then I think there is really nothing to talk about."

"Hmph, then there's nothing to talk about!" Duke Michel immediately showed a big deal, I don't care.
