Yeli Shaode ordered his subordinates to contact the Tianyi Mercenary Group, saying that they would send a negotiating team to the Tianyi Mercenary Group's mother base to discuss some matters with the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
On August 15, 125, the first year of the universe, the Yelisaud negotiating team came to the mother base of the Tianyi Mercenary Corps.
Besides Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming, Salamanda and related negotiating teams greeted the negotiating team.
The negotiating team representative of Yelisaud is also an old colleague Christophe who Salamanda knew. He belonged to the same country as him back then, and was the head of another royal knights.
Christophe also did not expect to meet her old colleague Salamanda, although she had already heard that Salamanda had followed Long Fei.
It was even heard that Salamanda had made countless contributions since the days of war between the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the Dion Army.
After the country and king he was loyal to in the past ceased to exist, Christopher joined the rebel army, and after he rescued Princess Yoyo, a series of things happened.
In particular, Princess Yoyo fell in love with Barbaros, her father-killing enemy, which made her unacceptable, and she couldn't accept that man as her companion, let alone swear allegiance to Princess Yoyo, the unfilial daughter of the former king.
Later, she accused Princess Yoyo in front of everyone, and Princess Yoyo immediately dismissed her from all positions in a rage.
Discouraged, she left the rebel army and lived as an ordinary person incognito.
As a result, Yelisaud found out her details by some means, not only did not embarrass her, but instead sent someone to invite her to join his camp, and even Yelisaud met her several times in person to invite her.
She really couldn't believe that a prince from an enemy country invited her regardless of past suspicions, which made her feel very flattered and moved.
"The former king is the wise master, and Yeli Shaode is also the wise master. The former king I am loyal to is dead, and his daughter is so incompetent. Why should I be foolish and loyal? Then I will vote for another wise master."
Christopher frowned when he saw Jorge behind Salamanda.
"This money-hungry and lustful person will get more benefits and change his master directly." A trace of disdain flashed in Christophe's heart for Jorge.
After the two parties shook hands and introduced themselves, Li Jiaming led everyone to the negotiating room.
"What does the Dion Empire want to negotiate with this mercenary group?"
Christopher said straight to the point: "I just hope that your mercenary group can return our soldiers back."
"Return? You have been fighting with us for so many years. Now that the war has come to an end, you want us to return your soldiers. You think too well." Salamanda said.
"Of course, we are not asking your mercenary group to return our soldiers unconditionally. The expensive mercenary group can ask for the conditions you want. As long as it is reasonable, we will definitely meet the requirements of your mercenary group."
Li Jiaming said sarcastically: "That's redemption, it's not restitution at all. If you make it clear, you will almost get into a fight because of a misunderstanding."
The corners of Christopher's eyes twitched a few times. He could see that the other party had no intention of negotiating with them at all, but he still suppressed his unhappiness and said patiently: "This is something wrong with our wording. Please also invite your mercenaries Forgive me, your mercenary group can talk about the conditions you want."
Li Jiaming sent someone to hand over their conditions to Christopher and his party.
Christopher and his group looked at the conditions on the document, their expressions changed from frowning to twitching at the corners of their eyes, and then the whole look became more and more ugly, and even many people had angry expressions on their faces.
Among other things, these conditions are just 4 items.
The first item is to redeem a private soldier, and it has to be redeemed by 10 million Earth Circle coins, and there are some metal materials, etc., and this is just an ordinary human being. If it is an adjustment person or a new human being, it has to be calculated separately.
The higher the rank, the higher the ransom and conditions.
Item 3, the lowest-ranked soldiers must be redeemed first, and then the higher-ranked soldiers can be redeemed. You cannot jump to redeem captured soldiers.
Item 4, before redeeming these captured soldiers, a series of compensations must be made to the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
Christopher and his group looked at the conditions on the document, and at the amount and conditions of a series of compensations to the Tianyi Mercenary Group.
Christophe and his group were gnashing their teeth, many of them threw documents directly, pointing at Li Jiaming and his group and cursing.
"You guys are blackmailing!"
"You are a lion with a big mouth!"
"Are you playing us like a kid?"
"Is there such a random condition?"
"Are you slaughtering us like fat sheep?"
Li Jiaming and his group sat on the chairs with an old god-like expression, either closing their eyes and turning a deaf ear, or looking up at the ceiling, not paying attention to the other party's scolding and protesting at all.
Saramanda twisted her neck and said, "Have you guys had enough arguing?"
Only then did Christophe and his group quiet down, and everyone glared at Li Jiaming and his group.
Li Jiaming said slowly at this time: "It's you who want to negotiate with me. We didn't think about negotiating with you, because we have nothing to say to you, and you haven't captured our mercenaries, so it's important for us Said, we don't need to talk to you about this."
The corners of Christopher's eyes twitched. She also understood that during the battle between her country and the Tianyi Mercenary Group, when cleaning the battlefield, the two sides exchanged prisoners in equal amounts.
Basically, the Dion Empire has no captured Tianyi mercenaries at all. On the contrary, the Tianyi mercenary group has captured a large number of its own soldiers.
The Tianyi mercenary group basically eats them to death.
Li Jiaming looked at Christopher and his group with a smile, and said in his heart: "Since the other party wants to redeem their people, then we will make a lot of conditions, and it depends on whether they agree or not. If they agree, we will earn money." A lot of money, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, we have no loss, anyway, those captives are also a group of cheap laborers, which can make us Tianyi Mercenary Group earn good profits, if you want to redeem someone, just agree to our terms, to use my hometown It’s enough to eat people, it’s up to you whether you agree or not.” I smiled secretly in my heart.
Everyone on Li Jiaming's side laughed secretly.
Christopher said patiently: "Your Excellency, can you lower the conditions a little bit, your conditions are too high."
Li Jiaming turned his head to look at Salamanda, and gave Salamanda a color, and Salamanda understood the meaning of the commander-in-chief.
"If you think our conditions are too high to accept, then your business has nothing to do with us. Either you agree, or you leave. We will not entertain you."
Christopher stood up and said angrily: "You are not negotiating in good faith at all, you are simply playing us."
"Yes, it's just to tease you. Anyway, we have nothing to talk to you about. Either agree or leave now. We won't entertain you."
As soon as Salamanda finished speaking, the door of negotiation opened, and many Tianyi mercenaries poured out.
Li Jiaming said: "If you can't agree to our conditions, or if you need to discuss with your superiors, please go back first."
Christopher and his team saw that the Tianyi Mercenary Group had no intention of negotiating with them at all, and the condition they offered was simply that the lion opened its mouth. If they didn't agree to the Tianyi Mercenary Group's loss, if they agreed, they would bleed profusely.
Christopher and his party had no choice but to leave.
