"My lord, the manipulators of that ship are just two ordinary knights. We can easily pull it into our formation and launch a siege. Please give us the order, my lord!"
Captain Ransisk asked Count Togram excitedly, and several pirates around him who knew the current situation also agreed.
"No! We can't fight at the moment." Earl Togram flatly rejected this suggestion.
“It’s not a good idea to pull this seed boat into our midst right now.
Three of the five ships we have here have no protective covers and are still stuck on the ground. How can we fight?
And if the target is pulled over rashly, if it fails, for example, if there is an earl on the ship who is preparing to go to the new territory with the ship, but does not participate in operating the ship, wouldn't it just be a warning? "
"But, Lord Earl. If we don't pull the ship over in time, we may miss the opportunity. You must know that the ship may just pass by this galaxy." Captain Ransisk said anxiously.
"I know, I know, but we can't alert the snake! We hope our protective shield can be restored before it escapes, so let's deal with the negotiation in front of us first!" Earl Togram did not intend to continue to struggle with this issue.
"As long as we can leave this place, we can start a battle as soon as possible. On the ground of this planet, don't forget that there are still local indigenous knights, although they may not be of high rank, so we try not to do that here. fight unless they show up in negotiations now.”
"Let those who are here to negotiate come in." The Earl ordered him after he sat down on the leather chair with a flourish.
Lisa and the three of them were brought in. After the two sides introduced each other, Earl Togram was the first to attack.
"Is Captain a noble title? I have never heard of it. When can I meet the nobles on this planet? Do I have to negotiate with a group of civilians?"
Looking at the alien pirate leader sitting on the stolen leather chair and pretending to be sitting on a throne, the three low-level officers rolled their eyes together.
"We are just translators or messengers. Captain and lieutenant are our military ranks. We are only responsible for conveying our prerequisites for starting negotiations before formal negotiations begin."
"There are prerequisites before we can start negotiations. You are quite courageous!" Captain Ransisk roared angrily.
"Maybe you think you have an advantage and have trapped us on this planet, but this is our planet." Lisa answered with a gun and a stick.
"Let's talk first and listen." Instead, the earl pretended to be attentive.
"We require a ceasefire first, a comprehensive global ceasefire, which means that it must include your sixth ship that is not here now."
"Interesting, I thought this negotiation was limited to the few ships currently in this place." The Earl was really confused.
Apart from knowing its general position, he knew nothing about the Invasion's situation. "Did our ship bring you any trouble?"
"It's a small trouble. If we can have a ceasefire here, we should be able to solve the trouble over there. I believe you understand what I mean, Your Excellency. So we hope to have a comprehensive ceasefire, which can represent our sincerity and goodwill. .”
With two lieutenant military diplomats as backup, Lisa's diplomatic rhetoric was very fluent at this moment, and it was impossible to tell that he was actually an amateur.
"Is this like this?" The Earl glanced at Captain Ransisk, "We agree with your conditions in principle, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement. Please allow us to discuss it."
Several nobles in the room immediately swarmed out. Captain Ransisk, who was walking at the end, shouted gracefully, "Come here, please entertain the three... messengers."
A group of "waiters" dressed in orange-red clothes filed in, leaving the three low-level officers stunned.
In the next room, Count Togram and his men began another heated discussion.
"Sir, I don't think you should agree to them. We are seriously short of supplies, especially the Invasion. There are too many people on it. Once the war ceases, our supplies will be very difficult, especially if you simply use the formation order to If the Invasion is brought back here, there won’t be much food in the warehouse here.”
A knight is persuading the earl to take back his life, "Reject them before it's too late to regret, my lord."
"How is that possible! It's definitely not possible to recall them using the formation function. You must know that they are on the ground now. If we recall like that, maybe we will only recall an empty ship."
Captain Ransisk quickly came out to express his opinion, "Sir, you don't want to do this, do you?"
"My idea is actually, do you think I can use these indigenous people as messengers to notify the Invasion to intercept the seeding ship?" Count Togram looked around and said slowly.
"Now how do you hide it from them? To do this, the Invasion carries 1/3 of the armored knights in this fleet. In addition to having no artillery, they should be able to deal with any ship in a one-on-one battle!"
The room suddenly became quiet, followed by a series of "Your Excellency is wise." "Your Excellency is wise!"
If these natives are unwilling, then they will at least agree to send a knight as a messenger.
Of course, the Earl had his own personal seal hanging on his waist. He could write a written order stamped with his own seal and give it to these natives, but he didn't want to do that today. It would be more reliable to send at least one knight to convey his message.
Besides, if these natives are asked to help convey written orders written in God's words, although they will definitely not be able to understand most of them due to language barriers, some of the proper nouns, such as spaceship core, city core, and seeding ship, etc. Words are easily discovered.
The count actually didn't care that the forces would be further dispersed, and he didn't even care that the fleet was trapped here with a few ships.
He now believes that the most important thing is to stop the seeding ship. For this reason, he is willing to pull out one of the two battleships that still retains its protective shield to cooperate with the Invasion to perform this task.
The remaining battleships trapped here are insignificant in the face of this mission. Probably only the Giant Rat is more important. Once the Giant Rat's protective shield is restored, the count is willing to transfer all the crew members of the battleships without protective shields to the Giant Rat. , and then immediately took off to support the Invasion in combat.
On the one hand, this is because it is difficult to find asteroids suitable for transformation into battleships, and on the other hand, it is also because only the Giant Rat can take away all the redundant personnel here.
