Chapter 33 Negotiation

Before Hammuye came, Saladin had earnestly instructed him to be cautious and courteous, and try not to anger the empire.Because Saladin really couldn't think of any way the empire could reject his request for an alliance.It means that as long as you do well enough, whether the empire forms an alliance or not, what it will do after forming an alliance, whether to send troops or not to send troops, is beneficial to itself!And he is justified!So what he can do is try not to let the empire have any excuses.

"These cunning Roland people are very good at playing some word games, you must not be provoked by their schemes and do something irrational, otherwise we will probably get nothing." Saladin put this sentence The words were spoken to Hamuye at least four times.

"No, Mr. Hamuye. First of all, I am the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire who is here to negotiate with you, Blue Ochstina. This is Lieutenant General Charles of the Military Department, and this is our Ministry of Finance. Minister, Deka, Deka Munes, he is the grandson of the Imperial Finance Minister. The three of us will discuss with you about the alliance. Then, you will meet our Queen, but not now. As for diplomacy Grand Duke Tulip is now in charge of the matter, and Her Majesty the Empress is taking care of everything, so she doesn't have much experience to manage diplomatic matters."

Ah...seems like the Empire has agreed to an alliance with us?This was Hamuye's first thought.The second thought was that it was unbelievable and weird. This woman seemed to be the highest among the three, but it was actually a woman who was negotiating with me!In the eyes of the prairie people in the patrilineal society, this is simply unbelievable.But thinking about it, even the emperor of the empire is a woman, so this doesn't seem to be a big deal.The third thought is, how much power does the Grand Duke Tulip have! ?The emperor of the empire trusted him to such an extent!

Fortunately, Hanmoye did not come alone.He also had two helpers, one of whom was a big man with beards—a standard prairie man with a bit of sheep smell and body odor that couldn't be washed off.He was in charge of coordinating [-] cavalry in the tribe.

The other is the direct descendant of Hanmuye, which belongs to the type of think tank.But it's a pity that he doesn't have such good innate conditions as Hanmuye-it's just that Hanmuye looks like a civilized person.But this guy has nothing special about him except that he is a little thinner and taller.

Three against three seemed like a very fair negotiation.

Hanmoye went straight to the point, and directly brought up the topic of whether the grassland sent troops to the empire, or what.Hanmoye, who originally thought that the other side would be furious, completely miscalculated. What this elegant and gentle woman said was not heavy at all, and even sounded very comfortable, but the content made Hanmoye uncomfortable!

"Leaving aside the empire's thoughts, what is your tribe's plan? Do you want to enter the Kaspersky defense line of the empire to help fight the wolf cavalry, or let the imperial air force help you deal with the elves?"

Hanmoye broke out in a cold sweat on the spot.

...what the fuck does this mean?what happened?Shouldn't it be absolutely unacceptable to your empire no matter what you do?You are good, why did you kick the ball back to me?How do I know what you don't want to do! ?

Hanmoye's calculation is also good.Because the negotiation had already come to an end before he came, no matter what demands the prairie people made, the empire would never agree!At this time, as long as you act like a victim and let everyone think that we, the grassland people, are kind enough to form an alliance with your empire, are you going to treat us like this?No sincerity at all!This is enough to achieve Saladin's purpose.And even if the empire couldn't resist forming an alliance in the end, and really sent the air force to the grassland, that would be in line with Saladin's wishes!Because it is impossible for the empire to let its own cavalry enter the empire's territory anyway.Besides, even if the empire allowed it, no one on the grassland would send their forces to the empire.Not to mention that there will be no return, and the soldiers and horses who go there are enough to quarrel with their leaders.But...but what the hell do they mean! ?Don't play cards according to your own plan at all!

"This... how about letting the Imperial Air Force help us deal with the elves? The elves are flying around in the sky, which makes our cavalry very troubled. Only wizards can barely deal with them, but the number of wizards is too small ..." Hanmoye tentatively expressed his thoughts.

"No." Lanlan shook her head and said firmly.The boulder in Han Moye's heart was dropped all of a sudden.

Yeah!This is the right track!Hanmoye was about to use his snarky skills to make the empire lose its moral support, but he was about to slam the table, and Lanlan's next sentence frightened Hanmuye's raised hand back up!

"But the empire is willing to provide you with the greatest help in terms of materials, and open up a part of the iron trade to the grassland."

"What did you say!?" The hand that was raised and lowered was raised again after listening to it, and it was placed on the table fiercely.

Lanlan was startled by the loud noise, and immediately a figure in a red robe appeared in the dark corner of the wall. With a light finger pointing, only a chirping sound was heard, and Hanmuye jumped up and clutched his chest tightly. The hand that seemed to have been shocked by electricity looked at the red robe in horror.

The bearded man behind him immediately jumped up, whimpering in Prairie language with a line of imperial language: "%#*& you cunning Roland pigs)! @#￥^&" is light again With a light finger, the bearded man also fell backward as if he had been hit hard, knocking down several stools.

"On the negotiating table, don't be rude. Next time, there will be something like this!" The gloomy red-robed mage finished slowly, and pointed again, and the candle holder inserted on the negotiating table for decoration suddenly turned into a Fly ash in the air.Then, regardless of the expressions of the crowd, the mage slowly disappeared into the darkness again.

"Just now...was that the well-known court magician just now?" Han Muye looked at the corner with a pale face.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Hanmoye, I surprised you. Magicians are always rigid and abide by the rules. He just strictly abides by the Queen's order that no one hurt me. Maybe he is a little cautious." After Lan Lan finished speaking, Han Muye took another high look at this woman.

This woman... has such a high status in the empire?

"I lost the atmosphere of negotiation today. I hope you will forgive me. However, this does not prevent us from continuing to communicate. This is a document we prepared before you came to assist the grassland. You can go back and study it carefully How about we continue negotiating the day after tomorrow?"

This kind of thing happened, and Hanmuye really couldn't continue the negotiation as if nothing happened.He had no choice but to agree to Lan Lan's request, took the document, put it in his arms, nodded gently, rejected Lan Lan's invitation to stay in the palace for dinner, turned around and took the two of them away in big strides.
