Doom Girl Must Die Chapter 1378

Suddenly, the negotiations between the two parties reached a deadlock, and it looked like they were going to break up on bad terms.

However, since there are noble representatives around, they will naturally not let such a thing happen.

Especially Theodore, the president of the Alliance Parliament, is responsible for stabilizing the situation in the alliance.

So when the talks between the two parties collapsed, he immediately stood up and acted as a peacemaker.

"You two, in a few months the Dark Abyss will reach the Holy Continent. Therefore, at such a critical moment, what our human race needs most is unity."

"One of you represents the Bach Empire, and the other represents the Storm Territory. Speaking of which, you both play a decisive role in the Holy Continent now."

"Not to mention the Bach Empire, it is one of the most powerful empires in our alliance."

"Although Baron Nalant's Stormland has only just emerged, its achievements in this expedition are obvious to all."

"So, as the president of the Alliance Council, I sincerely hope that both parties can shake hands and make peace!"

Theodore spoke to the two of them, with a hint of flattery and coaxing towards both parties.

Of course, what he said is actually true.

Under his influence as a peacemaker, the two parties returned to the progress of negotiations.

"President Theodore, our Bach Empire is making full preparations to deal with this invasion of dark creatures."

"This preparation requires a huge amount of gold coins and resources, both in terms of supplies and equipment."

"Baron Nalant opened his mouth. We simply can't agree to such conditions, and even if we agree, we won't have so many gold coins to pay."

"So, five million gold coins is already the highest limit given by our Bach Empire."

Maybe there is a step down, and it is really impossible to ignore those tens of thousands of extraordinary knights.

After President Theodore finished speaking, Duke Michel was the first to speak, telling Theodore about the difficulties of the Bach Empire.

Of course, he himself said this difficulty, and others did not know whether it was true or false.

"President Theodore, one of the six great empires of the Bach Empire, is really as difficult as Duke Michel said, I can't tell!"

"However, the Bach Empire's 100,000 coalition troops came to destroy my Storm Territory. I did not kill those prisoners for the sake of the alliance."

"So, due 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 use the money to redeem the captives. This is already my mercy!"

Nalant also spoke to Theodore, and he was naturally good at speaking in situations.

When it comes to pretending to be weak, who is not a king?

Of course, appropriate threats are still needed.

After a pause, Nalant continued: "Duke Michel, you have to think about it. The food expenses I mentioned before cannot be less."

"Also, I have a kind reminder here, that is, if the Bach Empire wants to redeem the coalition prisoners and reduce its contribution, it is best to make a decision early."

"Otherwise, if we delay it for another month or two, the food expenses will continue to increase. Don't be too expensive then!"

"Pfft! Baron Narante...you..." Duke Michel almost vomited blood.

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen Nalant so shameless.

Who has ever heard of prisoners needing to pay for food in the past?

Wouldn't you just give them one meal for three days to prevent them from dying?

"Baron Narant, don't be anxious. We can negotiate everything slowly. Now the Bach Empire is also sincere, so we might as well discuss it carefully and finally come up with terms that both parties are satisfied with."

President Theodore was also crying and laughing, and Nalant was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

The last time he needed the earth essence, Nalant was very generous. Why didn't he see Nalant being so stingy?

Of course, when I thought about it, it was also the fault of the Bach Empire for being overbearing and insisting on forming a coalition to attack the Storm Territory.

Therefore, this is considered deserved.

"Okay, since President Theodore has said so, I must be negotiating with sincerity."

"So, Duke Michel, don't call me Nalant stingy. Now I will give you another choice."

"Since the Bach Empire cannot produce so many gold coins at the moment, it can actually replace them with other previous items."

"As long as the values are equal, I won't mind it."

Nalant nodded towards President Theodore.

Of course he knew that the Bach Empire would definitely not be able to afford tens of millions of gold coins.

Even if there is, I'm afraid I won't take it out.

Therefore, Narant had originally expected to use other items to pay off the debt.

"Other items offset it?" Duke Michel frowned slightly.

Looking at his current appearance, it is impossible to fool the young nobleman 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 in this aspect.

As for the equivalent items that can fill up the value, apart from elves, big and small, what else are there?

land?

Suddenly, Duke Michel thought of an object.

And land is definitely the most valuable thing besides gold coins and elves.

"Baron Nalant, in that case, our Bach Empire is willing to use land in exchange." Duke Michel said.

"Oh? That's okay, but how wide is your land and where is it located?"

Nalant pondered for a moment, then nodded in response.

"The territory located in the Black Rock Plain that belongs to our Bach Empire is equivalent to an area the size of two counts."

"Haha, Duke Michel, this is a good idea of yours. Can the land area of two earls be worth tens of millions of gold coins?"

“And it's still the land on the Black Rock Plain!”

Narante immediately laughed out loud.

To be honest, the land on the Black Rock Plain is equivalent to a buffer zone for the major principalities.

Although it has an area of two counts, most of it is undeveloped wilderness. Except for the small nobles, other big nobles really look down on this kind of land.

Moreover, after he gets Nalant, will he help the Bach Empire 'guard the frontier' from now on?

"Baron Nalant's two pieces of land the size of the earldom are definitely worth six to seven million gold coins."

"Although the location is located in the Black Rock Plain, that's why I can make the decision."

"Otherwise, if it were to be in another position, even if it were tens of millions of gold coins, it would be impossible to exchange for two earl territories." Duke Michel replied.

"No, Duke Michel, you should change the exchange item. In terms of value and safety, I don't think the two counties of the Black Rock Plain are worth it."

Narant refused outright.

Duke Michel frowned again when he heard this. 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 can produce stably.

Therefore, the value of that piece of land is about double that of the land in Black Rock Plain.

And more importantly, can this kid really develop it if he takes that piece of land?

When the Bach Empire stabilizes in the future and the alliance survives this crisis, then the Bach Empire will naturally have an excuse to 'take back' the land.

"In that case, I will exchange for another piece of land, which is the territory of the three earls located on the North Burley Plain. If you are willing, use this as a ransom."

"Of course, if you are still unwilling, then I think we can only shelve this negotiation temporarily. I will go back and ask our King Bach to make a decision himself."

The second half of Michelle's words also contained a hint of threat.

Because, to be honest, compared to five million gold coins, giving this land is already a very big concession.

If he hadn't thought about 'getting back' this land in the future, he really wouldn't have been able to make such a promise directly.

"North Burleigh Plains?"

The Holy Continent is extremely vast. Although Nalant has a general understanding of the distribution of the empires, he does not know where the North Burley Plain is located and what its environment is like.

So he looked directly at Theodore.

As the president of the parliament, Theodore is naturally very clear about things within the alliance.

Seeing Nalant's gaze, he immediately said: "The North Burley Plain is a medium-sized plain located at the northernmost point 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 as good as that of the Black Rock Plain, it is not much worse."

"The only disadvantage is that the climate is cold after all, so the crops will grow slower."

"Of course, the North Burleigh Plains is not without its benefits, that is, there is almost no danger there, so cultivating crops there is very stable."

"In addition, the North Burley Plain is also owned by the six empires, and the Bach Empire does own land ownership of three counts."

"If compared to the previous value of the Black Rock Plain territory, it should be several times higher."

"Really!" Nalant naturally believed Theodore's words.

And this North Burley Plain actually somewhat suits his wishes.

The value is several times higher than that of the two counties of Black Rock Plain, which is worth more than 20 million gold coins.

In this way, he can make a fortune when he changes hands.

"Okay, then let's use this territory in exchange!"

After Nalant pondered for a moment, he immediately agreed.

He could also see that Michelle's last words were not empty threats.

I'm afraid that if he doesn't agree, he might really return to the Bach Empire first.

If so, I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the future.

And he, Narant, didn't want to be too troublesome at this moment, so it was okay to just give up.

Of course, he could also foresee that Michelle might have other plans because she was so generous and willing to increase the price.

But doesn't Nalanthe have it?

"Baron Narante, are you sure?"

Seeing that Nalant agreed, Duke Michel immediately confirmed it again.

"I am sure!"

"Very good. If that's the case, then please ask President Theodore and all the representatives to bear witness for us!"

Duke Michelle didn't have much emotion on his face, but he was already sneering in his heart.

"Boy, do you think this land is really that easy to get? Although it is temporarily yours for a while now, it will fall back into the hands of our Bach Empire sooner or later!"

"Baron Nalant, Duke Michel, are you really sure that we have reached an agreement?"

After hearing Duke Michel's words, Theodore looked at Nalant. Apparently, he was also waiting for Nalant's confirmation.

Moreover, he seemed to be worried about Nalant using the territory of North Burleigh Plains in exchange, and his eyes gave Nalant a slight warning.

"President Theodore, I'm sure we've reached an agreement. Just follow what Duke Michel said, and ask all the representatives to be witnesses!"

Nalant seemed not to notice President Theodore's very subtle reminder, and nodded towards him with a smile.

Seeing that Nalant spoke like this, President Theodore naturally had nothing more to say.

Immediately, he took out two pieces of parchment and handed them to several subordinates to start writing.

After a while, the subordinates had finished writing, and President Theodore took the parchment and sent it to Nalant and Theodore.

The content on the parchment was exactly the conditions previously negotiated between the two parties.

The Bach Empire is willing to use the land of the North Burleigh Plains to redeem all the coalition knights captured by Nalant this time, including Duke Bick and a group of commanders.

Nalant and Duke Michel picked up the parchment, and after confirming that the content was correct, they both signed their names and stamped their seals.

Then the two parties exchanged parchment and repeated the previous process.

After all, both parties need to hold a copy of the signed contract.

After the two contracts were signed and stamped by both parties, President Theodore took back the two pieces of parchment from Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com, and then signed on them himself.

After signing, he gave it to the other five imperial representatives for signature.

In this circle, the witnesses on the parchment include President Theodore and the noble representatives of the five empires.

As for the noble representatives of other principalities, there is no need to sign. After all, if the five major empires cannot be used, then there is no use signing the names of representatives of the small principalities.

"You two, this is your contract. This contract was signed under the witness of the representatives of the nobles in the Alliance Parliament, so it is true and valid from this moment on. I hope that both of you can abide by and fulfill it in the future."

"If either party is unable to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract, then the Alliance Council has the right to supervise or punish the party!"

After all five imperial noble (parliament) representatives had signed, Theodore handed two pieces of parchment to both parties and also gave a warning.

"I understand, President Theodore!"

Naturally, Nalant and Michelle had nothing to say, so they nodded directly.

Afterwards, the two of them agreed in a few words on the exchange of prisoners and the exchange of land contracts, and today's negotiation was over.

At this time, a group of noble representatives began to leave. Duke Michel looked at Nalant for a moment, and also led others towards the outside of the hall.

However, Nalant did not leave immediately, but walked towards President Theodore.

"Baron Narant, is there anything else? If it's something about those nobles from the Glory Continent, I've already informed you that tomorrow is the weekly parliamentary meeting, and I will raise it with all the parliamentary representatives at the meeting. .”

Theodore looked at Nalant.
