Chapter 179 Negotiation, Transaction Conditions

A quarter of an hour later,

The elven warships and the human flying boats were facing each other from a distance of about 200 miles, which was a very unfavorable position for Carona and others.

The most terrible thing is that even though the flying boat has lost most of its ability to move, the elves' main guns are still pouring firepower onto the magic pattern array of the flying boat.

Not to mention the damage to the hull of the flying boat, the various magic circuits on the flying boat were also destroyed one after another under the attack of the patrol ship's main gun, and even the most important transmission array was completely unrecognizable.

The magic power generated by the magic furnace overflowed from the broken circuit, and a colorful halo flashed from time to time, as if groaning for its own damage.

Faced with the endless stream of magical artillery fire, even if Carona and others used all their strength to release defensive spells, the collapse of the magic pattern array could not be effectively alleviated.

But they were helpless.

The magical creations of the elves focused on flexibility and maneuverability, and Huenleinar fully magnified this advantage. He used the long-range main guns and the extremely fast speed of the patrol ships to fly around the black merchant fleet that was blocked by space, toying with them at his fingertips.

even,

As soon as the main gun operator's mental strength began to show signs of fatigue, the other mages rushed forward and enthusiastically took over his position.

After all, every shot fired is capital for them to exchange for military merit.

The "war merit system" is prevalent in this world and is widely used by major civilizations.

These soldiers are all extraordinary people. If they only rely on that meager salary, it will definitely not be enough to meet their training needs.

Therefore, the mechanism of using military merits to exchange for additional training resources or other necessities came into being.

Thinking of the role of military merit, the law enforcement soldiers on the patrol ship were already feeling excited.

Everyone could tell from the urgency of the superiors issuing the rescue order that the captured elves were extremely important.

Correspondingly, if the rescue operation is successful, every soldier who participates in the rescue and makes a contribution will receive extremely generous military merits.

Relying on military achievements to exchange for a leisurely and comfortable job in the Elf Kingdom has always been the life these elven soldiers yearn for.

so,

Inspired by their military exploits, even the fifth-level mages were itching to use their magic cannons, allowing them to fly kites outside the attack range of Carona and others, satisfying their desire to use their magic cannons.

At this moment,

The adjutant stood beside Huenleiner, looking at the dazzling halo produced by the collision of the magic cannon and the defensive spell on the light screen, and leaned close to his ear and asked:

"Captain, what if these humans become desperate and harm the hostages?"

"No, as long as they still want to live, they will definitely negotiate with us." Huenleinar shook his head, holding two seventh-level scrolls tightly in his hands. These were his stocks.

For the sake of the mission, I had to bear the pain.

You can only give it a try!

Before he finished speaking, a prompt sounded in the captain's room:

"Ding! An unknown user has requested communication in the public channel."

The adjutant was slightly startled and said softly, "Here it comes."

Huenleiner nodded to the communicator. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be the communication request from the black merchant fleet.

A moment later,

The communication connection was successful, and a greasy and fat human projection immediately appeared on the light screen. The man's green bean-sized eyes looked around the elven warship, and his smiling eyes occasionally glanced at Huenleiner and others, as if he was looking at a piece of cargo.

If I really had to use words to describe the elves' feelings at this moment, then there is only one sentence...

It's as disgusting as being stared at by a dog!

Carona ignored the disdainful looks from the proud elves and said slowly, "I am the captain of the Black Merchant Fleet, and I would like to speak with your captain."

Just wait.

The more arrogant these elves are now, the more miserable they will be after being imprisoned.

Oh, these elves should not be tortured.

after all,

High-value goods often require exquisite packaging. If they are damaged, they will be worthless.

Carona carefully studied Huenleiner's delicate face, secretly delighted, "With this aloof and austere look, those wealthy ladies in the empire would definitely be willing to spend a fortune on it, right?"

One hundred thousand low-grade magic crystals?

Or one hundred thousand medium-grade magic crystals?

As he thought this, the smile on his face gradually became more presumptuous, making the elven soldiers in the captain's room feel a little nauseous.

The adjutant's eye twitched, and he nudged Huenleiner's arm with his elbow, saying, "Captain, is he interested in you?"

Huenleiner had a blank expression on his face and said quietly, "If you can't speak, just shut up. I won't think you're dumb!"

then,

He took a deep breath, put on a stiff smile, and said coldly:

"Humans, please hand over the members of our tribe that you have detained. Isn't it for profit that we capture them? I can offer a ransom that will tempt you.

Just make sure they stay intact, and I'll overlook your previous provocative behavior."

"Not only did they give us the ransom, but they also didn't care about the mistakes we made. Is there really such a good thing in the world?" Carona narrowed his eyes like a cunning mouse.

The adjutant explained, "Sir, there's no need for us to fight to the death, right?"

“Since there’s no need to fight to the death, let’s each take a step back.

You leave the ransom and take the law enforcement team away from our sight. I'll leave half of the elves with you to report back. What do you think?" Carona said with a smile.

Of course, you have to put on a complete show and not let these elves see your true intentions. Naturally, you have to show the face of a profit-seeking businessman.

Huenleiner's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Carona, please don't push your luck!

You can't afford the wrath of the elves!"

"Oh, Mr. Elf, what you said is so scary!" Carona pretended to be frightened and patted his chest very cooperatively.

But in the next second, he changed his tone and suddenly laughed, "We businessmen who live on the edge of a knife don't care about the threats from your empire.

After I make this fortune, I can retire and live happily anywhere. What can your Elf Kingdom do to me?"

“…” Huenleiner was suddenly speechless.

Even if they wanted to target these humans who challenged the empire, they could only issue a bounty. How could the powerful elves stationed in the Augustus Empire waste their time on these minions?

so,

It is really possible that Carona will continue to live so carefree.

What a disgusting guy!

Huenleiner pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I can agree to your terms, but the prerequisite is that I must select the other half of the elves!"

"Okay!" Carona agreed without hesitation, with a big smile on his face.

It’s confirmed.

The slave-hunting team of the Sith Chamber of Commerce may have really caught a big fish this time.
