"Everyone, since everyone is here, let's enter the conference hall first!"
At this time, President Theodore saw that the protagonists of both parties had arrived, and immediately invited both parties to enter the parliament building.
"Okay, Sir Nalant, please do it!"
Duke Michel nodded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Nalant. His gesture was as low as possible.
"Then I'm welcome!" Nalant didn't back down and walked calmly at the front.
When Duke Michel saw this, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
The young man in front of him seemed to be smarter than he imagined. No wonder he could become famous in this holy continent in such a short period of time.
Under normal circumstances, if he, a dignified Duke, behaves like this, he should refuse for the sake of face.
But now the other party accepted it calmly and didn't feel embarrassed at all.
This shows that the other party is not an extremely face-saving person like ordinary young nobles.
Thinking about how to get Narant to minimize the ransom later, Duke Michel stepped forward.
Immediately, representatives from other principalities and empires followed suit.
The council hall of this alliance is similar to the presbytery hall in the previous life.
The layout is presented as a semicircle, with seats high around the perimeter and low in the middle.
All the principalities were in a semicircular position, and only the high platform directly in front had a row of long horizontal tables.
This horizontal long table is usually where the six empires and Theodore, the president, sit.
Because the most important thing today is that Nalant and Michelle discuss the issue of ransoming captives.
So after the two parties entered the parliament hall, they went directly to the center of the hall.
There is a long table for speaking.
At this moment, chairs have been visited at both ends of the long table, specially prepared for the two of them.
After the two of them sat down, President Theodore, who was above him, said: "Everyone, I believe everyone knows what we are doing today, so I won't say more!"
"And Baron Nalant and Duke Michel, since you have invited all our representatives to come and witness, the results of your negotiations today have been notarized."
"Afterwards, I hope you can all take the results of the discussion seriously. Otherwise, if one party violates it, the alliance has the right to impose corresponding punishments!"
"Baron Nalant, Duke Michel, do you both understand?"
"clear!"
"clear!"
Nalant and Michel nodded towards President Theodore.
"Very good, you two can start!"
After saying that, President Theodore sat down directly and said nothing more.
At this time, Duke Michel immediately took over the topic, looked at Nalant and asked warmly: "Baron Nalant, this friction is really unnecessary!"
"It's a pity that many nobles in our principality couldn't help themselves after hearing the sad news of the death of the eldest prince, so they promoted this expedition."
"Originally, when a great catastrophe is about to come, our entire human race should unite and help each other to jointly face the coming dark abyss."
"But having said that, now that what has happened, it is useless to talk about it."
"Fortunately, things haven't reached the worst yet, so there's still room for a party!"
"Baron Nalant, I, Michelle, solemnly request you, please, for the sake of the upcoming catastrophe, please release the captured Bach coalition knights."
"After all, this is quite a force, and it will be of great use when dealing with dark creatures a few months later."
Duke Michel spoke sincerely and played the emotional card as soon as he came on stage.
And he wanted to coerce Narant with a catastrophe.
But who is Narant? Having lived in two lifetimes, Narant knows that all appearances are false.
In front of Li Zi, face is not worth mentioning.
He immediately smiled and said: "Duke Michel, what you said is quite light."
"Your Bach Empire's 100,000 coalition troops came to attack my small barony, and there are three sky knights among them."
"I would like to ask, when they came here, did they consider the catastrophe that would come in a few months?"
"And if I, Nalant, am alive, can I also make a contribution to this continent?"
"Obviously, they don't. They only think about how to flatten my Storm Territory and how to destroy me, Nalant."
"It's a pity that you underestimated me, Nalant. In the end, all the 100,000 coalition troops were destroyed by me, Nalant."
"Now, you want to coerce me with your carelessness. Do you really think that I, Nalant, am a three-year-old child?"
"Duke Michel, I put my words here today. If you want to ransom the prisoners of the Bach coalition, then you must send me the gold coins I want."
"Narant is a very reasonable person. As long as the gold coins are enough, whether it is an ordinary extraordinary knight or Duke Bic, I will ensure that they return to the Bach Empire safely."
After hearing Nalant's unkind words, Duke Michel suddenly frowned.
This Nalant is really as he thought before, and will not be influenced by face.
However, in order to minimize the loss, Duke Michel still looked amiable and was not at all angry at Nalant for not giving him face.
"Baron Nalant, I know it is wrong for our Bach Empire to send out coalition forces to attack the Storm Territory this time."
"I also know that Baron Nalant must be angry. However, Baron Nalant, you also said that you have not suffered any losses because of this."
"How about this, Baron Nalant, our Bach Empire is willing to pay a compensation to Baron Nalant and publicly apologize to Baron Nalant."
"Then how about we both shake hands and say goodbye?"
"Baron Nalant, you are an outstanding young noble, and now you have emerged in the Holy Continent."
"Presumably, Baron Narant's future will definitely be immeasurable, so Baron Narant's mind is also extremely broad."
Prince Michel continued to compliment Nalant.
In this world, the most important thing is your own face.
As for the dignified Duke Michel, being so complimentary, any nobleman might be a little overwhelmed, and then be set up by the noble man created by Duke Michel.
Once you have this layer of personality as a concern, then it's time for Michelle to show off.
In the past, this trick was very effective for any noble. Although Michelle Nalant was a little different, it shouldn't really be unaffected at all.
But the next moment, Michelle was disappointed, because Nalant really wasn't affected at all.
"Duke Mihir, as the saying goes, talking about love hurts money. I, Narant, am a bit of a philistine. I'd rather talk about money first!"
"In addition, if Duke Michel is still so insincere, then I think there is no need to continue this meeting today."
When Mihir heard this, he paused and calmed down for a moment. Then the original warmth on his face finally disappeared and turned serious.
"Baron Nalant, you are really different!" Michelle said something to Nalant, whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm.
Immediately, he paused and continued: "Baron Nalant, I wonder how many soldiers in our Bach Empire were captured by you this time?"
"Including Duke Piccolo and others, there are a total of 63,212 people!"
Nalant gave a direct answer, and then ordered Lilia beside him, asking Lilia to hand over the list of prisoners to Duke Michel.
Taking the list, Michelle took a deep breath.
More than 60,000 people were captured by Narant. He could not imagine how this battle was fought, which resulted in so many coalition soldiers being captured by Narant.
Of course, the more than 37,000 people who died made him even more heartbroken.
"Baron Narant, I have read the list, but the ransom amount you gave a few days ago is wrong?"
"Didn't you say last time that each ordinary extraordinary knight is worth a thousand gold coins, while the other commanders and Duke Piccolo are more expensive."
"Why has the ransom for ordinary soldiers increased by one hundred gold coins now?"
"And the gold coins of Duke Piccolo and others have increased by tens of thousands of gold coins?"
Duke Michel was a little confused as he held the list.
"Well, Duke Michel, have you forgotten that these coalition knights need to eat and drink in my territory, otherwise how can they survive without food or drink for a month?"
"I have been supplying them with delicious food and drinks for more than a month, so naturally I have to charge for food!" Narant said with a smile.
"Hey, what kind of food expenses are you paying for? Ordinary extraordinary knights actually pay several gold coins a day."
"And Duke Piccolo and other commanders earn thousands of gold coins a day!"
Michelle suddenly took a breath.
Although the Nalant Lion opened his mouth when he said this price, the Bach Empire would not recognize it.
But Duke Michel was still shocked by Nalant's shamelessness.
Even the aristocratic representatives sitting in the surrounding seats who were helping to witness looked at Nalant with strange expressions after hearing this.
It was also the first time that they had seen a nobleman who was so obsessed with money.
"Duke Michel, don't think it's unreasonable."
"I won't talk about ordinary extraordinary knights, but Duke Piccolo and all the commanders. I provide them with the best living conditions!"
"High-end beds, high-end bedding, tables and chairs, etc."
"In addition, the food and wine given to them by the principality are non-stop every day. Not only are there unlimited potion wines, but there are also various medium and high-level Warcraft barbecues."
"So, my charge is reasonable!" Nalant didn't care at all about everyone's gaze, and solemnly stated the reason why he charged such a high meal fee.
Michelle took another deep breath.
"Baron Nalant, it is impossible for our Bach Empire to pay."
"Because, with that kind of ransom, we can train several times more extraordinary knights."
"So, I hope you can be sincere and let us resolve this matter seriously!" Duke Michelle said.
"Haha, then Duke Michel, at what price does your Bach Empire want to redeem these extraordinary knights?" Nalant didn't hesitate and asked directly.
What he said a few days ago is that the lion has its mouth wide open, so naturally it cannot hold on tight, so it is better to start negotiating the price directly.
"One hundred thousand gold coins, Baron Nalant, your Storm Territory didn't lose anything at all in this battle."
"I heard that even the battle was fought in the wilderness, so our Bach Empire is willing to pay 100,000 gold coins as an apology to you, Baron Nalant."
"Duke Michel, you are so insincere. Even a beggar cannot give away one hundred thousand gold coins like this!"
"If that's the case, then I might as well package these extraordinary knights and sell them, for example, to various empires to serve as slave armies.
"I think that whether it is some principalities or several other empires, they will be interested in the Extraordinary Knight Slave Order."
Nalant did not expect that Michelle would dare to make such a counteroffer.
The tens of millions of ransoms were reduced thousands of times to him in just one sentence.
This is no counter-offer, it has already fallen into the core of the earth.
"Baron Nalant, one hundred thousand gold coins is really a lot."
"Fifty million gold coins, Duke Michel, this is the price I want." Narant interrupted Michel directly.
"Impossible, Baron Nalant, in our Holy Continent, even if it is a war between empires, the compensation paid will not exceed millions of gold coins at most.
"However, since Baron Nalant is not satisfied with the price I gave earlier, I will add some more, five hundred thousand gold coins. What do you think of Baron Nalant's toast?"
"Duke Michel, there is no need to discuss this price." Nalant waved his hand directly.
"one million!"
Seeing this, Michelle continued to increase the price.
"No!" Nalant shook his head.
"Two million!"
"Or not!"
"Three million gold coins!" Duke Michel gritted his teeth.
Nalant remained unmoved.
"Five million gold coins, Baron Nalant, this is already the highest price."
"If you are still unwilling, then I think there is no need to continue the negotiation today."
"In addition, regarding your previous threat, Baron Nalant, although our Bach Empire does not want to cause trouble, we will not allow the coalition knights to be humiliated."
"If any empire or principality dares to acquire these coalition knights as prisoners, it will be an enemy of our Bach Empire."
Being rejected again and again by Nalant, Duke Michel was furious.
He glanced around and deciphered Nalant's previous threatening words.
After all, with his words, the principalities and empires of the Holy Alliance really did not dare to acquire those prisoners easily.
"Really, Duke Michel, these are 60,000 extraordinary people, and you actually gave up just as you said you would."
"However, you have also increased the ransom by so much. I, Narant, am not a stingy person. How about this, let's have a sincere exchange process for fifteen million gold coins."
"Impossible!" Michelle shook her head decisively upon hearing this.
"Baron Nalant, with more than five million gold coins, we really have nothing to discuss anymore!"
"Because His Majesty King Bach has given us this much as the bottom line."
"Since Duke Michel said this, then I think there is really nothing to talk about."
"Humph, then there's nothing to talk about!" Duke Michel immediately showed the same expression of "don't talk about the big deal, I don't care."
