"How is it? Have you agreed to the peace talks?" Guan Liyuan asked Heywood.
Although Heywood and Bray had invited Guan Liyuan to participate in the negotiations before, Guan Liyuan felt that as a representative of purity, he was not suitable for such a job that required the ability of "glib tongue".
Moreover, Guan Liyuan was not interested in the results of the negotiations. After all, both sides had their own bottom line, which would not change because of his participation in the negotiations.
According to the previous agreement, Guan Liyuan only needed to assist the "Storm God Cult" to fight against the goblins to a limited extent...
Of course, Guan Liyuan was still more concerned about the results. If he entered the peace talks directly, he could save a lot of effort.
"There is good news and bad news." Heywood said helplessly.
"The bad news is that the other party does not want to cease fire. What about the good news?" Guan Liyuan asked directly.
"In fact, the good news is also part of the bad news. This underground city seems to have some important resources that the cave dwellers have not discovered. So now the goblins are more determined to occupy this place than we thought. They really have no intention of peace talks, but the good news is that they want to redeem the captives..." Heywood said.
Guan Liyuan looked at him in confusion. What good news is it that he wants to redeem the captives? It would be strange if he didn't want to redeem them, right? Could this be the legendary "the patient in the next room wants to buy your slippers"?
"Ahem, the conditions for redeeming the captives are still very favorable!" Heywood emphasized.
Guan Liyuan still couldn't understand... Even if the slippers were purchased at a high price, it wouldn't be worth being happy, right?
"It's a share of the wind element polymer stone revenue after they occupy this place 'if'." Heywood added.
"Huh? A share of the wind element polymer stone? Have you decided to cease fire?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"No, so it's 'if'." Heywood blushed.
"This is obviously to undermine your fighting spirit..." Guan Liyuan was speechless for a while, but it didn't matter to him.
"But the conditions are indeed very favorable! The highest share can reach 70%. If it really reaches 70%, even if... the cavemen are really defeated, it's not unacceptable." Heywood explained.
"The highest? What do you mean? Forget it... It doesn't matter to me. Let's continue to study Pokémon!" Guan Liyuan said.
"No, this is what I was going to ask you for! The other party proposed a three-round bet, tomorrow... For every round we win, we can get 20% of the profit, and 10% is the reserve price." Heywood said immediately.
"That means you may only get 10%, right? Well, I will try my best in that round." Guan Liyuan didn't seem to care about other things.
However, the trading logic of the goblins did confuse Guan Liyuan.
Considering the transaction itself, if the captives were redeemed with 70% of the profit, it would undoubtedly be a huge profit for the Storm Cult. However... Not only is there a possibility of 50%, 30%, or even 10%, but if the goblins are defeated, the Storm Cult will lose everything. No matter how much profit they get, it will weaken the Storm Cult's fighting spirit in disguise.
If the goblins give up and retreat, they will not have to pay anything extra.
Guan Liyuan couldn't grasp the specific profit and loss, but... from the goblins' reputation, they should think that this wave is not a loss?
The Storm Cult also understood this truth, but the conditions were indeed very favorable, so they took the bait even though they knew it was bait... But Guan Liyuan and the Storm Cult were wrong about one thing!
At this time, in the goblin branch camp, a goblin who looked luxuriously dressed, but kept pulling his collar and seemed very uncomfortable, asked the goblin in the "operation suit": "General, why don't you just agree to the Storm Cult's request? Didn't our father order us to take this place at all costs and as little as possible to request reinforcements?" The goblin in the
mecha operating suit was helpless about this "prince" at this time. Deberg, one of the three most powerful trade princes of the goblin clan known for his brains, actually gave birth to a son who was not interested in anything except mecha!
"Prince Elsie, the reason why the prince asked us not to request reinforcements was to avoid attracting the attention of other forces. The prince doesn't know what exactly is here, right? Even the prince and I only roughly understand the prince's determination to obtain this thing.
The Storm God Cult has almost believed the excuse of "discovering a secret mineral deposit" we mentioned before, but... if we really agree to sell the "Wind Element Polymerization Stone" at a 30% discount, they will definitely wonder what kind of mineral deposit we found that made us ignore the "Wind Element Polymerization Stone", which will still attract the attention of all parties, so we can't show it too obviously!" General Dryden explained. "It looks
so troublesome... But since we are going to fight, I will also go out tomorrow!" Elsie said excitedly. "
Huh? But my lord..."
"Father only said not to let me go to the battlefield, but not not to let me participate in the "negotiation", right? Even if I only use the original machine, I will not lose!" Elsie said.
Dryden was confused for a moment and wondered whether the fight included in the negotiation should be considered a "battle" or a "negotiation"?
But if he didn't agree, Elsie would have other ideas, so after weighing it, General Dryden agreed.
After all, in this situation, the other party could not aim to kill the driver, and... as long as Elsie didn't use her own special machine, it would be unlikely to reveal her identity.
That's right, the goblin army that came was just an inconspicuous trade viscount affiliated with the Goblin Trade Union, but in fact... Dryden was not only a trade viscount in the Goblin Trade Union, but also a general under Prince Deberg, and even now he still regards himself as a "general" in secret!
The Goblin Trade Union does not have an actual head of state, but a union of many goblin chambers of commerce, among which the three trade princes are the most powerful.
And the mastermind behind the actual seizure of this underground city this time is actually Prince Deberg. If it weren't for the sake of keeping it secret, the Storm God Cult or the cave dwellers would have no power to resist, and even Guan Liyuan could not stop it.
However, the Storm Cult did not have so many doubts. Otherwise, if they knew the real opponent, they would have given up "milk tea and movie tickets"...
Guan Liyuan would not think so much, just wait until tomorrow to make another move.
In the end, Heywood and Bray decided to use Guan Liyuan as the last trump card, and both of them also made moves to maintain the third place and fight for the seventh place!
At least before seeing that the opponent sent out a nearly 20-meter-tall legion-level mecha in the first game, with a white body, a small amount of blue on the upper body, and a little red on the waist and feet, Heywood and Bray were still very confident...
