Chapter 903 each has ghosts
Immediately, the negotiations between the two sides reached a deadlock, and it seemed that they were about to break up.
However, since there are expensive representatives around, it will naturally not allow such a thing to happen.
In particular, Theodore, the president of the alliance parliament, has the responsibility of stabilizing the situation in the alliance.
So when the two sides talked about the collapse, I immediately stood up and became a peacemaker.
“You two, it will be when the Dark Abyss reaches the Holy Continent in a few months. Therefore, at such a critical moment, what our human race needs most is unity.”
“And one of the two represents the Bach Empire, and the other represents the Storm Territory. Speaking of which, you all play a pivotal role in the Holy Continent now.”
“Not to mention the Bach Empire, it is one of the most powerful empires in our alliance.”
“And Baron Narant’s Storm Collar, although it has only risen for a while, but this time the merits of the expedition are obvious to all.”
“So, as the president of the Alliance Council, I sincerely hope that the two sides can shake hands and make peace!”
Theodore opened his mouth to the two of them, with a hint of coaxing towards both.
Of course, what he said was actually true.
Under the influence of him and the old man, the two sides returned to the progress of the negotiation.
“President Theodore, our Bach Empire is making full preparations to deal with this dark creature invasion.”
“This preparation, whether it is materials or equipment, will cost a lot of gold coins and resources.”
“Baron Narant opened his mouth a lot. We can’t agree to such a condition, and even if we agree, we can’t have so many gold coins to pay.”
“So, five million gold coins are already the highest limit given by our Bach Empire.”
Maybe there is a step down, and it is really impossible to ignore the tens of thousands of extraordinary knights.
After President Theodore’s voice fell, Duke Michelle took the lead and told Theodore the difficulties of the Bach Empire.
Of course, this difficulty is also said by himself, and others do not know the truth.
“President Theodore, one of the six great empires of the Bach Empire, is really as difficult as Duke Michel said, I can’t judge!”
“However, the 100,000 coalition forces of the Bach Empire came to destroy my Storm Territory. I did not kill those prisoners for the sake of the alliance.”
“So, some compensation is necessary, after all, if I couldn’t hold the storm territory at that time.”
“Don’t say it’s my territory, I’m afraid I don’t need to say more about my own fate.”
“So, now I just let the Bach Empire take the money to redeem the captives. This is already my kindness!”
Narant also spoke to Theodore, and he would naturally be able to speak the scene.
To pretend to be weak, who is not a king.
Of course, appropriate threats are still needed.
After a pause, Narant continued: “Duke Michel, you have to think about it. The food expenses I mentioned earlier can’t be less than a cent.”
“Moreover, I also have a kind reminder here, that is, if the Bach Empire wants to redeem the coalition prisoners and wants to reduce the cost, it is best to make a decision.”
“Otherwise, if it is delayed for another month or two, the cost of meals will continue to increase. At that time, don’t think it is too expensive!”
“Pfft! Baron Narant…you…” Duke Michel almost vomited blood.
I have seen shameless, but I have never seen Narant so shameless.
Who has ever heard of prisoners needing to pay for food?
Wouldn’t you just give them one meal for three days and keep them from dying?
“Baron Narant, don’t worry, we can negotiate everything slowly, and now the Bach Empire is also sincere, so we might as well negotiate, and finally come to terms that both parties can satisfy.”
President Theodore is also crying and laughing, and Narant is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The last time he needed the spirit of the earth, Narant was very generous, how could he never see Narant being so stingy.
Of course, on second thought, this also blamed the Bach Empire for being domineering and insisting on forming a coalition to attack Stormland.
So, that’s what it deserves.
“Okay, since President Theodore has said so, then I must also negotiate with sincerity.”
“So, Duke Michel, don’t call me Narant stingy, now I’ll give you another choice.”
“Since the Bach Empire can’t take out so many gold coins for a while, it can actually be replaced with other previous items.”
“As long as the value is equal, then I don’t dislike it.”
Narant nodded towards President Theodore.
Of course he knew that the Bach Empire would definitely not be able to get tens of millions of gold coins.
Even if there is fear, it will not be taken out.
Therefore, the use of other items to repay the debt, Narant originally expected.
“Other items?” Duke Michel frowned slightly.
Looking at the current appearance, it is impossible to fool the young noble in front of him.
Therefore, if you want to redeem the captured coalition forces, you really need to pay some price.
However, the price paid must also be carefully considered to reduce losses from this aspect.
And the equivalent items that can fill in the value, besides the big and small elves, what else is there?
land?
Suddenly, Duke Michel thought of an object.
And land is definitely the most valuable existence besides gold coins and elves.
“Baron Narant, since this is the case, then our Bach Empire is willing to use land as an exchange.” Duke Michel said.
“Oh? This is fine, but how wide is your land and where is it located?”
Narant pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.
“The territory in the Black Rock Plain that belongs to our Bach Empire is equivalent to an area the size of two counties.”
“Hehe, Duke Michelle, this is a good idea. Can the land area of two counties be worth tens of millions of gold coins?”
“Also, it’s the land on the Black Rock Plain!”
Narant sneered immediately.
To be honest, the land on the Black Rock Plain is equivalent to the existence of a buffer zone for the major principalities.
Although it has an area of two counties, most of them are undeveloped wilderness. Except for the small nobles, other big nobles really don’t like this kind of land.
Moreover, after he got Narant, will he help the Bach Empire to “guard the frontier” from now on?
“Baron Narant’s two counties of land are definitely worth six or seven million gold coins.”
“Although the location is located in the Black Rock Plain, that’s why I can call the shots.”
“Otherwise, if you change to other positions, even if it is tens of millions of gold coins, it is impossible to exchange for two counties.” Duke Michele replied.
“No, Duke Michelle, you should change the item for exchange. Whether it is value or safety, the two counties in the Black Rock Plains, I don’t think it is worthwhile.”
Narant directly refused.
Duke Michel frowned again when he heard the words. The Bach Empire had a huge territory, but there was not much useless land.
Suddenly, he remembered a piece of land in the north, although that piece of land was better than the Black Rock Plain.
But because of the cold, it is not as suitable for farming as the Black Rock Plain.
The only advantage is that the land is not threatened by foreign enemies, and it can produce stable output.
Therefore, the value of that land is about twice as high as that of the Black Rock Plain.
And more importantly, can this kid really develop after taking that piece of land?
When the Bach Empire settles down in the future and the alliance has survived this crisis, the Bach Empire will naturally have an excuse to ‘return’ the land.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll change another piece of land, which is the territory of the three earls in the North Burleigh Plain. If you want, use this as a ransom.”
“Of course, if you are not willing, then I think this negotiation can only be shelved temporarily, and I will go back and ask our King Bach to make a decision in person.”
The second half of Michelle’s words also carried a little threatening meaning.
Because, to be honest, compared to five million gold coins, this land is already a very big concession.
If he hadn’t thought about ‘returning’ this land in the future, he really couldn’t have made such a promise directly.
“North Burleigh Plains?”
The Sacred Continent is extremely vast. Although Narant has a general understanding of the distribution of the empires, he does not know where the North Berle Plain is located and what the environment is like.
So now he looked directly at Theodore.
As the president of the council, Theodore is naturally very clear about the affairs of the alliance.
Seeing Narant’s gaze, he immediately said: “The North Berle Plain is a medium-sized plain at the northernmost tip of the Alliance.”
“The size of the plain is much smaller than that of the Black Rock Plain. In addition, although the land waste is not comparable to the Black Rock Plain, it is not much worse.
”
“The only downside is that the climate is cold after all, so the crops will grow slower.”
“Of course, this North Burleigh Plain is not without its advantages, that is, there is almost no danger there, so it is very stable to cultivate crops there.”
“In addition, this North Berle Plain is also owned by the six empires, and the Bach Empire does have land ownership the size of three of the counties.”
“If compared to the previous value of the Black Rock Plains territory, it should be several times higher.”
“Really!” Narant naturally believed Theodore’s words.
And this North Burleigh Plain is really in line with his heart.
It can be worth several times higher than the two counties of the Black Rock Plain, which is worth more than 20 million gold coins.
In this way, when he changes his hands at that time, he can make a fortune.
“Okay, then exchange this territory for it!”
After Narant thought for a moment, he immediately responded.
He could also see that the words behind Michelle were not empty threats.
I’m afraid that if he doesn’t agree again, maybe he will really return to the Bach Empire first.
If so, I am afraid there will be more troubles in the future.
And he, Narant, doesn’t want to be too troublesome at such a moment, so it’s okay to take it as soon as possible.
Of course, he can also predict that Michelle is so generous in raising the price, there should be other plans.
But he didn’t have Narant?
“Baron Narrant, are you sure?”
Duke Michele saw Narant agree and immediately reconfirmed.
“I’m sure!”
“Very well, since that’s the case, then please President Theodore and the representatives to bear witness for us!”
Duke Michele didn’t have too many waves on his face, but he was already sneering in his heart.
“Boy, do you think this piece of land is really so easy to take? Although it will be yours for a while now, it will fall back to our Bach Empire sooner or later!”
“Baron Narrant, Duke Michel, are you two really sure you have reached an agreement?”
Hearing Duke Michel’s words, Theodore looked at Narant. Obviously, he was also waiting for Narant’s confirmation.
Moreover, he seemed to be worried about Narant using the territory of the North Berle Plain as an exchange, and gave Narant a little warning in his eyes.
“President Theodore, I’m sure it’s settled. Just as Duke Michel said, please let all the representatives be witnesses!”
Narant, however, did not seem to notice President Theodore’s very vague reminder, and nodded towards him with a smile.
Seeing that Narant had spoken like this, President Theodore naturally had nothing to say.
Immediately, he took out two pieces of parchment and handed it over to several subordinates to write.
After a while, the subordinates had finished writing, and President Theodore took the parchment and sent it to Narant and Theodore.
And the content on the parchment is exactly the conditions negotiated by the two parties earlier.
The Bach Empire is willing to use the land of the North Burleigh Plain to redeem all the coalition knights captured by Narant this time, including the Duke of Bick and a group of commanders.
Narant and Duke Michel picked up the parchment, and after confirming that the contents were correct, they both signed their names and stamped them by the way.
The two sides then exchange parchment, repeating the previous process.
After all, both parties need to hold a copy of the contract signed.
After the two contracts were signed and stamped by both parties, President Theodore took back the two parchments and signed them himself. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
And after signing it, the representatives of the remaining five empires were signed.
After this circle, the witnesses on the parchment included President Theodore and representatives of the nobles of the five empires.
As for the aristocratic representatives of other principalities, there is no need to sign. After all, if even the five major empires are not easy to use, it is useless to sign the names of the representatives of the small principalities.
“You two, this is your contract. This contract was signed in the presence of the representatives of the nobles of the Alliance Council, so it is truly valid from this moment on. I hope that both of you will abide by and perform it in the future.”
“If any party fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract, the Union Parliament has the right to supervise or punish this party!”
After the five representatives of the nobles (parliament) of the empire had signed, Theodore handed the two parchments to the two sides respectively, and also made a warning.
“Understood, President Theodore!”
Naturally, Narant and Michelle had nothing to say, so they nodded immediately.
Afterwards, the two agreed with a few words on the exchange of prisoners and the exchange of land contracts. Today’s negotiation is over.
At this time, a group of noble representatives began to leave the venue, and Duke Michele watched Narant for a moment, and also led people out of the hall.
However, Narant did not leave immediately, but walked towards President Theodore.
“Baron Narant, is there anything else? If it is about the nobles of the Glory Continent, I have already informed them that tomorrow will be the weekly parliamentary meeting, and I will propose it to the representatives of the parliament at the meeting. .”
Theodore looked at Narrant.
