Chapter 60, Negotiation
Mosa's body was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether it was from pain or because he was angry with Ryan, but it was obvious that the current situation was really not good for him.
If he was not injured, he could have led the remaining orcs to fight his way out, but now it was difficult. With the human in front of him, there was a real possibility that he would be trapped here.
But he didn't know that Ryan was at the end of his strength at this moment. He felt that the power in his body was passing away quickly, and stars began to appear in front of his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and held on to his body, trying not to show it. Even if he was panicking, he had to hold on at this moment. If he couldn't frighten the opponent, then this battle might be full of twists and turns.
"Ho ho ho, human being, I admit that you are strong, cunning and despicable, but for the glory of the beast god, we would rather fight to the death!"
Mosa's face showed determination. He had his pride, and the orcs were equally proud. Even if we were outnumbered, we would never surrender!
Looking at Mosa's desperate aura, Ryan's heart suddenly thought, wouldn't he be able to get away with it?
"Fuck, if you don't agree, let's talk about the conditions. Don't you know if you can raise the price and pay back the money?"
He secretly greeted Mosa's female relatives in his heart and said calmly: "Okay, I admire your spirit. Enough people have died today. I can give you another choice. If you don't agree,
Then you will be buried in the south forever!"
Ryan's tone was serious, as if killing them was just a matter of words.
"What choice?" Mosa really wanted to fight to the death with Ryan, but Ryan was right in what he said. The opponent did have the ability to bury them here, but they wouldn't have it easy either.
He is different from those orcs who are full of killing and muscle. He knows restraint, tolerance, and choice... He still has ideals waiting to be realized, how could he die in such a small place.
After hearing his words, Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he was a smart beast and knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
He steeled himself and said, "My request is very simple.
First, leave your flag."
Just the first one made Mossa frown, but he didn't get angry. After all, the meaning of the flag to the orcs was far less than that of humans.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Ryan felt happy, there was something going on, and he quickly continued: "Secondly, I want your surviving captives to stop making excuses. Slaves are an important labor force for you orcs, and you can't use them all to attack the city.
"
This is true. Just below, there are thousands of strong slaves being restrained. Although the slaves represent the labor force, they cannot be taken away in their current state. Mosa nodded and agreed.
"Third, I want not all of the loot you captured along the way, but some of the food." After Ryan finished speaking, he immediately added, for fear of making the other party anxious.
You must know that the orcs plunder for food. If no food is left to them, they will really fight to the death. But relatively speaking, the treasure is not that important. After all, their manpower is greatly damaged, and carrying it is a burden.
After a brief consideration, Mosa gritted his teeth and agreed. In Chelt, he still had hundreds of people searching for food everywhere. These treasures were not of great use to them, so there was no harm in keeping them. Food was the most important thing.
"Greedy human being, you'd better stop here!" Seeing that Ryan still wanted to continue talking, Mosa quickly expressed his resistance. Do you really think that you are a dragon? You are just making a wish.
"Ahem, it's gone. As long as you agree to this, I can let you go, but I want you to swear in the name of the Beast God that you will not step into my territory again for five years!"
Ryan stared at him. The orcs' fervent worship of the Beast God was like the group of devout believers in the Holy See who worshiped the Lord of Holy Light. If he could swear in the name of the Beast God, it would be more credible.
This enemy is really terrifying. I have to admit that I don't have the conditions to fight him in a short period of time. Being able to push him to this point today is purely a fluke.
If next time, he pounces directly on him instead of fighting all the way like this, then Ryan will definitely not be able to handle it.
"Hmph, are you afraid of humans?" Mosa snorted coldly.
Ryan didn't comment, just stared at him calmly.
He had agreed to all the unequal treaties before, including this one. Mosa formally swore in the name of the Beast God that he would not step into Ryan's territory for five years.
In fact, the Tuwen tribe does not have the conditions for another large-scale invasion. Youth and strength are the main conditions for the tribe to survive on the grassland. After this loss, the Tuwen tribe needs to recuperate and merge with small tribes to develop and grow.
.
Of course, Ryan didn't know this. After doing all this, Ryan let them go. Well, he didn't go through the main entrance and climbed down.
According to Ryan's words, invaders are not allowed to step into the city.
De Lai and others watched all this in silence, and no one said a word to refute. The only one who might have objections, Allen, had already been carried off because of his serious injury.
Most of them are just ordinary people. They were stimulated by hatred and blood in the battle just now. Their blood surged up and they were naturally not afraid of death. But now that they have calmed down, they no longer have that ferocity.
Watching the last orc climb down the siege ladder, Ryan walked to the female wall with a strong breath, his legs were already shaking slightly.
De Lai seemed to notice something strange. He took a step forward and held Ryan's arm. Ryan nodded gratefully, and then the two of them enjoyed this rare moment of victory together.
They defeated the orcs and defended their territory!
Mossa went down to the city in embarrassment with the support of his personal guards, and came to the tall warg. His subordinates wanted to help him, but he roughly pushed him away. The warriors of the orcs would not show their fragile side!
He climbed onto the warg with difficulty, looked at Ryan standing on the city wall with a complicated expression, and said sternly: "Human, you haven't told me your name yet."
Ryan looked down at him quietly, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Remember, the person who defeated you is the Border Guardian, Baron Cana, [Eagle Eye Knight], Ryan Ray Black!"
Calling out a long list of titles was a bit confusing, but Ryan just felt happy and elated.
Mosa recited it silently several times, keeping the name firmly in his heart, and took a deep look at that face. Sooner or later, he would defeat him and wash away today's shame!
"retreat!"
Mosa turned the wolf's head around and joined the shaman who stayed below.
Regarding his failure, the shaman said nothing. He knew and tried his best.
Mosa kept his promise and left behind the prisoners and the captured loot, and took one last look at the ruined city and the messy battlefield behind him.
Then he waved the battle ax in his hand and struck the flagpole, and the scarlet flag floated down along with the broken flagpole, along with the glory of the graphic tribe.
Chapter completed!
