Chapter 212 Meeting (Part 2)

A few days later, Freya and a few others came from their own defense line to the negotiation venue that Richard had temporarily built in Kongxia.

There was a long table in the open-air meeting room, and both parties sat down in turn. Beside Freya were the priests and soldiers she brought with her, and facing her, next to Richard were Primadis and Diluka. Primadis had banknotes in front of him, and he was the secretary of this meeting.

"I think we should skip the polite words. Neither you nor I have much time. Let's talk about the important things."

Richard put his hands on the table and urged Freya. For Richard, this meeting was more about identifying and stealing some intelligence from Freya's language. After the last meeting, Richard was extremely alert to Freya. He had taken the new divine power from Ligredo and was running it through his body. He kept himself awake at all times, relying on the principle that the divine power of the goddesses would not affect each other. Primatis also had a crystal pendant made by Diluka hanging around his neck.

Freya had a sincere look today. After hearing Richard's words, she said seriously, "Okay, in that case, I won't say those nonsense anymore. Let's get straight to the point. I've said before that I hope that in this war, Fluke will seek a perfect result through dialogue without the sacrifice of civilians and soldiers."

Richard frowned and expressed his objection, "Ymir has already spread the war to many cities in Fluke. Your people have already suffered. It's a bit naive to say this now."

"You are right. My people have indeed suffered. When Ymir invaded, I did not have the opportunity to talk to him. Now that Ymir's power has been basically eliminated from Fluk, and you have led your army here again, I cannot let my people repeat the same mistake. This is my duty as the guardian of this place."

Richard caught Freya's words: "You just said basically?"

Freya said without changing her expression: "Indeed, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Ymir's apparent strength in various cities has been cleared out, but in the shadows there are still a small number of people who follow Ymir lurking. These people were also my "They are my people. They know every hiding place in the city. This has brought some trouble to the army chasing them, but I believe we will definitely win in the end."

Richard asked curiously, "These people who followed you were also your people. You don't seem to be merciful to them?"

Freya said seriously, "You also said that they were, but they betrayed their compatriots and abandoned their beliefs. From the moment they joined the demon invaders, they were no longer my people, but my enemies! They must be eliminated!"

Richard nodded. Freya was different from Thor. Of course, the situations they encountered were also different. One was a small number of men, and the other was the vast majority of men.

Freya regained her composure and said, "We just talked about Ymir. Here is a piece of information that is worth noting. Ymir's defeat was very sudden and unexpected. I originally thought that I would have a protracted stalemate with him, but when I fought him in a plain in the north, his powerful army was dispersed in an instant. The warriors in other directions were also unstoppable and easily recaptured the fallen cities. . The ease of the last battle made me think that Ymir was retreating in an organized manner, or even carrying out a bigger conspiracy. "

Richard said slowly: "You told me this kind of intelligence. Can I understand that you want to investigate and deal with this matter with me?"

Freya flatly rejected it: "No, I don't have the idea of ​​using the power of the demons to deal with other demons now and in the future."

"Then you..."

"I am showing my sincerity to you. This information will save you a lot of time, and your intelligence forces can also find out this information with some effort."

Richard's pupils shrank, and Freya smiled softly: "This is a secret that everyone has in their hearts, isn't it? Everyone has spies for the other party in their power. I hope that if one day my intelligence personnel are accidentally caught by you, I hope you can treat them well."

Richard did not answer. Freya tucked her hair behind her ears and said with a gentle smile that made Primadis drop his pen on the ground: "Actually, I hope that through the talks I can find a way to communicate with the demons, and eventually build a bridge of peace between the demons, humans and gods."

Richard shook his head helplessly. If this was not a place for future talks between the two parties, Richard would have laughed. The ambition of the demons has been revealed. Only when this continent belongs to them completely will they seek peace. Freya's dream is somewhat funny. Compared to Richard, Primadis seemed more surprised. He opened his mouth slightly, stopped moving, and even the pen in his hand slipped to the ground.

Richard had a serious expression, and asked the same question he had asked when he heard that she was going to hold a meeting: "Freya, are you serious?"

Freya's expression was serious this time, and there was majesty in her eyes. Her answer was the same as last time: "Yes, I hate jokes."

"Heh," Richard sneered, "You are really a dreamer."

Freya frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Richard stretched out a few fingers and said: "It is utopian enough for you to want to reconcile with the invaders. I can tell you very clearly that my goal is the land and resources here!"

Freya's expression was very flat: "If these are your demands, I can satisfy you. I am willing to use the name of the God of Harvest of Autumn Moon to wholeheartedly support you as the King of Fluke."

As soon as these words came out, the open-air conference room fell into deathly silence. Richard looked into Freya's eyes, and those eyes wanted to tell Richard that what he said was true. But is there really such a good thing in the world? Richard recalled everything he knew and seemed to have touched something. Connecting the dots, Richard seemed to have figured out what Freya was going to do.

After the conversation, Richard looked at Freya with some disappointment: "So this is what you are planning. Joining forces with me not only guarantees that your people will not be harmed, but also shocks other demon candidates. If I take over Fluk, even if Ymir has subsequent actions, he can't and dare not make any waves in front of me. You still act as your goddess, and I get what I want from this. It seems to be a win-win situation. I am a little disappointed. This meeting is not a sincere meeting. You just want to use me. The concept of peace between humans, gods and demons you talked about is just for you and your people."
