Chapter 100: Negotiations
"No problem."
Ai Xiaoyi nodded and said in front of Monroe.
"Leave everything to me."
At the same time, Ai Xiaoyi whispered to Monroe. It seemed that Ai Xiaoyi was much better than Monroe.
"So, what's the matter with the two from the Principality of Effilis?"
Sasari looked at the two and said.
"Yes, I hope your country can withdraw its troops and leave our territory."
After Ai Xiaoyi nodded, she said very directly.
"This is impossible."
In an instant, Sasari stood up and narrowed her eyes slightly to look at Ai Xiaoyi.
"I hope you can understand the fact that if we can't attack Wallley, the capital of the Duchy of Effilis and let it subjugate this time, then we will not leave easily."
Sasari also told Ai Xiaoyi very directly about the intention of this expedition, indicating that it is impossible for Nomas to withdraw from the army. After all, the current situation is very favorable for Nomas. The morale is high, and there is one more battle support than the Duchy of Effilis. If this is let go. If the second chance makes the Principality of Effilis regroup, I don't know if I can have such a favorable situation next time.
"What's more, the hatred between our two countries is not a matter of a day or two. As far as we are concerned, we hope to solve this battle as soon as possible, so that there will be no more fighting between the two places."
Sasari said.
"I understand."
Ai Xiaoyi nodded and said, it seemed that she understood the current situation, which made Bingyuan feel that Ai Xiaoyi and Monroe were prepared, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"So, I will take myself as collateral and hope that Nomas will withdraw."
Ai Xiao said slowly.
And her words couldn't help but shock everyone present.
"You said... What?"
Sasari asked slowly.
"I said, I hope to use my personal as collateral, that is, as a hostage, and I hope that Nomas will withdraw."
Ai Xiaoyi repeated.
"If you take me as a hostage, at least Brother Ai Xiaoheng will have some concerns that he will not easily provoke the war between the two countries. If Nomas has been in charge of my life, he can at least maintain the stability of the two countries for 20 years. Moreover, even if Nomas's army has the advantage now, our army has a strong Solid walls and fortifications, you must have to pay a great price if you want to capture Wallley, right? So promise me that this is good for both sides, and the people on both sides can get stability for several years, right?
Ai Xiao said slowly.
"Even if it can be stable for 20 years, are you sure that the two countries will not start a war again in 20 years?"
Qiyin looked at Ai Xiaoyi and replied slowly. It seems that even Qiyin from the Nayaske Empire understands that this deal is not worth it. Who knows what will happen in 20 years? At that time, the situation may be exchanged between the two sides.
Moreover, this battle between the Principality of Nomas and the Principality of Effilis is not only a battle between the two countries. This is also a prelude to the full-line counterattack of the Southern Front against the Northern Alliance. In any case, it is impossible for Nomas to retreat, but this is actually before the full-scale war between the two camps. Play, Ai Xiaoyi and Monroe absolutely don't know.
"So, are you sure that you can attack the city?"
Ai Xiaoyi looked at Monroe beside her and then answered.
"Although I am at a disadvantage at present, I am very confident that I can guard the city gate."
Monroe said slowly.
Monroe, the war girl with the title of the pale wall, knows a little about Bingyuan, one of the only two war girls in the Duchy of Effilis. It is said to be very good at defensive warfare, but she is not very familiar with attacks. For this strongest wall in the Duchy of Effilis, it must be able to protect Wallley. The gate.
The ice source thought darkly.
"Very confident... Really?"
Sasari looked at the two people and said, and the tent was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder in an instant, which made Bingyuan feel a little nervous. After all, he, an adjutant, really didn't have much say about this kind of thing.
"You should understand that this is our barracks now. I don't believe that the three warriors and 7,000 soldiers can't keep you. Since you can't go back, why do you guard the city?"
Sasari narrowed her eyes and looked at Monroe and said.
"..."
In an instant, a bad face appeared on Monroe's face. Although she could get out of here, after all, Ai Xiaoyi is a captain-level pupil-eater. Once a conflict breaks out, Ai Xiaoyi will be killed here, and for Monroe, Ai Xiaoyi's safety is the first. She Ai Xiaoyi's life must not be allowed to be in danger.
For a while, the whole tent fell into silence.
"That... Well, can I speak?"
Looking at such an embarrassing scene, Bingyuan couldn't help looking at the four people in the tent and said.
"Since you have the right to be present, you also have the right to speak."
Sasari nodded and said. At the same time, Bingyuan's words couldn't help attracting the attention of Monroe and Ai Xiaoyi. Both of them looked at Bingyuan one after another, as if they were looking forward to what he would say.
"Well, first of all, let me ask, in what kind of capacity did you two come to us? Judging from the tone just now, I don't think they are negotiating with us on behalf of the whole Duchy of Efflis.
Bingyuan said slowly, and the four people who heard Bingyuan's words in an instant couldn't help but be stunned. Ai Xiaoyi and Monroe were stunned because Bingyuan happened that they really did not represent the comprehensive Principality of Effilis, while Sasali and Monroe suddenly woke up and ignored this point. In retrospect, they also felt that Ai Xiao Yi does not seem to be negotiating with them in an equal tone between countries. On the contrary, it is more like asking or representing individuals.
“...... Yes, I'm not negotiating with your country on behalf of my father and brother. I'm here to negotiate with your country from my personal position and all the citizens of the Duchy of Effilis.
After Ai Xiaoyi was stunned, she nodded and replied.
"....... What do you mean?"
Sassaly reacted quickly and asked.
"There are still nearly 70,000 ordinary people in Walleine. They do not pose any threat to your country. Indeed, it is too difficult to guard the gate, but I hope these innocent people can be safe and sound. After all, this is a feud between countries and should not involve ordinary people... Therefore, I beg you to retreat."
After saying that, Ai Xiao slowly knelt down.
"Xiaoyi!"
Monroe, who was standing next to Ai Xiaoyi, couldn't help but be stunned. She grabbed Ai Xiaoyi's arm and seemed to want to pull her up, but Ai Xiaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, was motionless, and the expression on her face was very sincere.
"....... It's impossible for us to retreat.
Then, Sasari shook her head and said resolutely, and Sasari's answer couldn't help but make the other four people present stunned and looked at her one after another.
"How could..."
Ai Xiaoyi was stunned.
"But... I can assure you of one thing.
After taking a deep breath, Sasari looked at Ai Xiaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly.
"I promise that once we break through the gate, we will only go straight to the palace. As long as those people do not hinder our progress, then I promise that I will never hurt them. However, you should also do a good job of evacuation to them, otherwise I can't guarantee their safety."
Sasari said slowly.
