On August 15, 125th year of the first universe, the Yelishaud negotiation team arrived at the mother base of the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

In addition to Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming, Salamanda and the relevant negotiation team also welcomed the negotiation delegation.

The representative of Yelishaud's negotiation team who was coming soon was Christophine, an old colleague of Salamanda. He was from the same country as him and was the leader of another royal knight order.

Christophine also did not expect to meet her old colleague Salamanda, although she had heard that Salamanda had followed Long Fei.

It is even said that Salamanda has made countless contributions during the years of war between the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the Dion Army.

After the country and king that Christophine served ceased to exist, he joined the resistance army. After he rescued Princess Yoyo, a series of events happened.

Especially since Princess Youyou fell in love with Barbaros, the enemy who killed her father, she could not accept this, nor could she agree that the man was her companion. She could no longer swear allegiance to Princess Youyou, the unfilial daughter of the previous king.

Later, she accused Princess Youyou in front of everyone, and Princess Youyou was so angry that she dismissed her from all her positions.

Feeling disheartened, she left the resistance and lived an ordinary life under an assumed name.

As a result, Yelishade somehow found out her background. Not only did he not make things difficult for her, but he sent someone to invite her to join his camp. Yelishade even met with her in person several times to invite her.

She really couldn't believe that a prince from an enemy country would invite her regardless of past grudges. This made her feel very flattered and touched.

"The previous king was a wise ruler, and Yelishode was also a wise ruler. The previous king I was loyal to is dead, and his daughter is so incompetent. Why should I be loyal to him blindly? I will choose another wise ruler."

Christophine frowned when he saw Jorge behind Salamanda.

"This greedy and lustful guy got a bigger benefit by simply changing his master." Christophine had a flash of disdain in his mind towards Jorge.

After the two parties shook hands and introduced themselves, Li Jiaming led everyone to the negotiation room.

"What does the Dion Empire want to negotiate with our mercenary group?"

Christophine got straight to the point and said, "I just hope that your mercenary group can return our soldiers."

"Return? You have fought with us for several years, and now the war has come to a temporary end, and you want us to return your soldiers. You are dreaming." Salamanda said.

"Of course, we are not asking your mercenary group to return our soldiers unconditionally. Your mercenary group can set the conditions you want. As long as they are reasonable, we will definitely meet your mercenary group's requirements."

Li Jiaming said sarcastically: "That's just redemption, not return at all. Make it clear. We almost got into a fight because of the misunderstanding."

Christophin's eyes twitched a few times. He could see that the other party had no intention of negotiating with them, but he suppressed his unhappiness and said patiently, "My wording was a little inappropriate. I hope your mercenary group will forgive me. Your mercenary group can tell me the conditions you want."

Li Jiaming sent someone to hand over their conditions to Christophine and his group.

Christopher and his group looked at the conditions on the document. Their expressions changed from frowning to twitching eyes. Then their expressions became uglier and uglier. Many of them even had angry expressions on their faces.

Let’s not talk about other conditions, just talk about 4 of them.

The first item is to redeem a private soldier, which requires 10 million Earth coins, plus some metal materials, etc. And this is just for ordinary humans. If it is an adjusted human or a new human, it will be calculated separately.

The higher the military rank, the higher the ransom and conditions.

Item 2: In order to redeem these soldiers, you must first pay the ransom money to redeem all ordinary humans, and then you can redeem the adjusted humans. After redeeming the adjusted humans, you can redeem the new humans.

Item 3: You must redeem the lowest-ranking soldiers first before you can redeem the next-higher-ranking soldiers. You cannot skip to redeem captured soldiers.

Item 4: Before redeeming these captured soldiers, a series of compensations must be made to the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

Christophine and his group looked at the conditions on the document, looking at the amounts and conditions for a series of compensations to be paid to the Tianyi Mercenary Group.

Christopher and his group gnashed their teeth as they watched. Many of them threw documents and pointed at Li Jiaming and his group and cursed them.

"You are blackmailing me!"

"You are asking for too much!"

"Are you guys treating us like fools?"

"Is there anyone who makes such random conditions?"

"Are you treating us like fat sheep to be slaughtered?"

Li Jiaming and his group sat on their chairs with a calm look on their faces, either closing their eyes and pretending to hear nothing, or looking up at the ceiling, not caring at all about the other party's scolding and protests.

Salamander twisted his neck and said, "Have you guys had enough of the quarrel?"

Christopher and his group finally quieted down, and everyone glared at Li Jiaming and his group.

Li Jiaming then slowly said: "You are the ones who wanted to negotiate with me. We never thought of negotiating with you because we have nothing to say to you. You didn't capture our mercenaries, so there is no need for us to negotiate with you."

The corner of Christophine's eye twitched. She also understood that when her country was fighting with the Tianyi Mercenaries, both sides exchanged an equal number of prisoners while repairing and cleaning the battlefield.

Basically, the Dion Empire currently has no captured Tianyi mercenaries. On the contrary, the Tianyi Mercenary Corps has a large number of its own soldiers.

The Tianyi Mercenary Group basically beat them to death.

Li Jiaming looked at Christophine and his group with a smile, thinking to himself, "Since the other party wants to redeem their people, then we will offer a lot of exorbitant conditions and see if they agree. If they agree, we will make a lot of money, if they don't agree, it doesn't matter, we won't lose anything. Anyway, those captives are a group of cheap laborers, and our Tianyi Mercenary Group can make a good profit. If they want to redeem them, just agree to our conditions. As the saying goes in my hometown, we've had enough of eating people, it depends on whether you agree or not." He smiled secretly in his heart.

Everyone on Li Jiaming's side was secretly laughing and delighted.

Christophine said patiently, "Sir, can you lower the conditions a little? The conditions you offer are too high."

Li Jiaming turned to look at Salamander and gave him a look. Salamander understood the commander-in-chief's meaning.

"If you feel that our conditions are too high and unacceptable, then that is your business and has nothing to do with us. Either you agree or leave. We will not entertain you."

Christophine stood up and said angrily, "You are not negotiating sincerely at all. You are just playing tricks on us."

"Yes, we are just teasing you. Anyway, we have nothing to discuss with you. Either agree or leave now. We won't entertain you."

As soon as Salamanda finished speaking, the negotiation door opened and many Tianyi mercenaries poured out.

Li Jiaming said: "If you cannot agree to our conditions, or if you need to discuss it with your superiors, please go back first."

Christophine and his companions could see that the Tianyi Mercenaries had no intention of negotiating with them, and the conditions they put forward were simply too high. If they did not agree, the Tianyi Mercenaries would suffer no loss, but if they agreed, they would suffer heavy losses.

Christopher and his group had no choice but to leave.
