Alien Knights

Chapter 137: 3-party negotiation

The black skull chief and the sharp claw chief, one old and the other young, stood at the two ends of the duel springboard, put on a combat posture, and stood facing each other.

The blockade of the Valkyries and the idling of the tribesmen made Crofts completely cut off the idea of ​​escaping. In order to survive, he sank his heart, no more panicked expression on his face, instead he settled on the idea of ​​breaking the boat and fighting back.

Huggins took the dry cloth from his subordinates, wiped off the blood on the armor, came to Todd's side, and asked in a low voice: "Which one of them can win?"

"One is fighting for survival, and the other is for honor. I don't think I can give you an accurate answer." Todd took a sip of the hot water in the cup. Although his words were aimed at the two duel on the field, his eyes But he looked at the Valkyries beside the duel field.

These female fighters have beautiful faces and well-proportioned figures, and there is no trace of fat on their bodies. In addition, they are almost the same height as men. Todd is inexplicably reminded of the "Victoria's Secret Angels" who walked on the stage of previous models. Putting aside these mixed thoughts in his mind, the head of the regiment focused his thoughts on their combat capabilities.

Shooting a crossbow with a bow and arrow, this kind of archery similar to a fantasy, is simply incredible.

Could it be that they are really the Valkyrie under the command of the North Island gods? That's why you got the supernatural power?

After thinking about it for a while, Todd denied this idea, at least since he traveled to this other world, he has never seen the scene of the gods appearing until now. It is not his style to use idealistic methods to explain the unknowable world.

Then, there is another possibility that these Valkyries are alien species, a group of alien species with special abilities.

Todd put down the water glass and touched the bridge of his nose to think carefully, then what kind of ability is it that can make a person shoot down a high-speed flying crossbow arrow?

There was a cry of exclamation from the field, interrupting Todd's thoughts.

Crofts stirred up the mud with a shield, disturbing Morgan's sight, and then kicked him heavily on the opponent's knee. The man with a centipede scar on his face suffered heavy injuries and involuntarily knelt on the ground, reluctantly using a shield to block the attack of the claw chief. When he stood up and walked again, his pace was limping and his center of gravity could not remain stable. The situation instantly became unfavorable for the Black Head tribe.

"Morgan! Back then, you and your father, like bereavement dogs, escaped from Black Skull Island. The day you ran away, your brothers were brought here by me. I cut the land under your feet. Under their heads!" Crofts turned the long sword in his hand and roared: "Today, you will join them!"

Morgan flushed and rushed towards Crofts with a roar, but was tripped and knocked to the ground by the Claw Chief.

Huggins squeezed the sword in his hand, and just about to stand up, he was pressed by Todd's shoulder.

The latter motioned the knight to look to the side of the duel field, the silver-haired Valkyrie's eyes were always watching here, and the arrows in her hand were also tied with the bowstring.

Huggins put down his sword angrily and said to Todd: "This Crofts, who was so scared that he didn't even dare to go to the battlefield just now, now has the courage, it's really strange!"

Todd smiled and said: "People will only think of the instinct to survive when they are pushed to the edge of death. The fear of the claw before the claw stems from the unknown of our group. Now the opponent is Morgan, this line of life is given. He is courageous, so this is not surprising."

Just as Huggins and Todd talked, the field changed again. Morgan entered the state of a berserker. The muscles under his skin twisted like a water pipe, and his limbs swelled as if he had been injected with air.

Todd frowned when he saw this scene.

The experienced Crofts avoided the Berserker's attacks again and again. He began to run in circles and curves, consuming Morgan's physical strength.

Todd understands that at this time, he must find a way to remind the Black Head Patriarch of his situation.

Pretending to be annoyed, he threw the cold water cup into the duel, and said loudly: "Morgan! Fury will only make you farther and farther away from victory!"

The cold water sprinkled on Morgan's head, waking up his sanity.

The black head patriarch suppressed the fury in his lower body, considered the respective tactical advantages of both sides, and began to use his youthful and abundant physical strength to engage in attrition battle with Crofts.

After an hour of fighting, the old patriarch of Sharp Talon was finally caught by Morgan due to lack of physical strength, and pierced his chest.

Watching Crofts struggle on the ground for a while, he finally lost his breath. The Valkyries walked up to Todd and looked at each other condescendingly.

Todd was very dissatisfied with his current state. As the chief of the hallowed knights, he actually wanted to look up at the woman in front of him. But speaking of the reasons, on the one hand, the height of these North Island Valkyries is really staggering, and on the other hand, it is also because Todd's height has not yet begun to develop.

"The leader of Muxi Town, the patriarch of Claws is dead, I must confirm that you will not harm other Claws, otherwise my sisters and I will use bows and swords to carve the inscriptions on the tombstones for you!" The Valkyrie took off the spear in his hand, looked at Todd and said.

Todd glanced at the old and weak women and children who were slowly gathering up. They raised their weapons in their hands again, and even the soldiers under Morgan cast hesitating eyes. He realized that if he now ordered an attack on the Valkyrie, these people would undoubtedly use their lives to protect their spiritual leader.

Todd lifted the cross on his chest and nodded towards the Valkyrie: "The culprit who attacked Muxi Town is dead. I swear in the name of Heavenly Father that I will not hurt these people."

The silver-haired Valkyrie looked very satisfied with Todd's oath, put away her weapon, and planned to leave.

"Valkyrie, can you tell me your name?"

The silver-haired woman turned her head and looked at the young man who asked the question. After thinking for a moment, she replied: "They call me "Brownhild"."

————————————————

Todd sat in the deliberative hall of the Talon Longhouse, looking at the circle of people sitting around the firepit, lost in thought.

After receiving a simple bandage from the monk, Morgan sat on Todd's left hand. He glanced at the wound on his body, and the scene of the battle flashed in his mind. He couldn't help being afraid for a while, and whispered to Todd: "If there is no warning from you, I am probably just a corpse now. I owe you a life."

The latter waved his hand, motioning Morgan not to care.

Huggins and Jerry stood behind Todd. The knight looked at the Claws sitting in the longhouse--two princes and two old men of the tribe, and said with some anxiety: "Head of the Claw, Claws The tribe once attacked Musi Town, why should we negotiate with these people?"

Todd shook his head and said: "The North Island's threat to Muxi Town is not a good solution after all. It may be more effective if you can start with negotiations and break the chain of interest between the pirates and the barbarians."

Negotiations between the Musi Knights, the Black Skull Tribe, and the Talon Tribe have officially begun. The first to speak is the old man of the Talon Tribe.

"I heard that a group of prisoners of the Talon tribe are being held in Muxi Town..."

After hearing this, Todd said to the old Talon: "Lev told you, right? It seems that he secretly gave you a lot of news last night."

Morgan patted his hands on the ground again and said loudly, "That **** named Lev! It's not honest to be a prisoner!"

The old man with Talon pretended not to hear Morgan's words, but turned his face to Todd: "The leader of Muxi Town, please forgive our fault and release the prisoners."

After hearing this, Huggins angrily touched the long sword at his waist.

Todd laughed: "Let me think about it. Someone ran to your house with a torch and armed with a weapon, burned your house, and killed your child. Now this person has been arrested. Currently, his parents have found the victim's family, hoping to be forgiven, and begged to release the murderer."

Todd tilted his head to look at the old man with Claws, and asked amusedly: "If the victim is replaced by you, would you agree?"

The old man turned pale and sat back in his position without saying a word.

A prince warrior with claws said: "Didn't we have an honor duel?! We have a dozen or so tribesmen who have died under your sword. Can't this still bring the matter to an end?"

Todd was completely speechless about the strange logic of these North Islanders. He patiently said: "First, the honorable duel between us is not over at all, it was forcibly terminated by the Valkyrie; second, I asked The Valkyries promised to stop hurting the Talons, but I never said that I would no longer pursue the attacks in Musi Town, let alone release the prisoners."

The prince warrior stood up excitedly and shouted: "Then what do you want?!"

Todd leaned back and said helplessly: "Calm down, we are negotiating, and shouting can't solve any problems. If you can put forward conditions that satisfy me, I might release the prisoners."

Another old man of Sharp Talon suddenly said to Todd: "What if we are willing to compensate you for your loss? Will you release our people?"

Hearing this, Todd showed some interest and asked directly: "How do you plan to compensate for my loss?"

The old man was taken aback for a moment, then he discussed with the people around him for a moment, and said tentatively: "How about gold and silver jewelry? There are still some in the tribal warehouse. We can bargain for the prisoners."

Todd shook his head after hearing this. Now the Musi Knights are attacking the noble fiefs of the Silver Ring Kingdom, plundering countless treasures.

"So weapons and shields? Our people have sharp weapons and strong shields, and they can exchange prisoners with you..."

Todd was even less interested in this. He knocked on the armor of the knight behind him, then drew a sharp sword and gestured in the air twice, and then gave the Claws tribe a look of "Are you kidding me?"

The old man of Sharp Claw discussed with the tribe around him for a long time~lightnovelpub.net~ Finally stood up, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "There are some young and beautiful virgins in the Claw Tribe. We are willing to exchange them for the Hui tribe. Warrior."

Todd's face sank: "Who do you think of me? I am the commander of the Knights, not the leader of the bandits!"

Hearing the words, the old man sat back dejectedly and sighed repeatedly.

Todd saw this scene and didn't intend to go around anymore. He said in a questioning tone: "What I want to know is, are there any special products you can trade here? For example, rare mineral deposits, rare resources..."

The members of the Sharp Claw tribe looked at each other. After a while, a princely warrior suddenly said, "Someone might know."

Ten minutes later, contrary to Todd's expectation, an alien with a white robe and a turban was taken into the longhouse by several warriors.

The alien leaned slightly, smiled and said, "My name is Abu Ben Sabah Kendi, and may the blessings of God be upon you!" (https://)
