"Everyone, since everyone is here, let's enter the conference hall first!"
At this time, President Theodore saw that the protagonists of both parties had arrived, and immediately invited both parties to enter the parliament building.
"Okay, Sir Nalant, please do it!"
Duke Michel nodded, and then made a gesture of invitation to Nalant. His posture could be said to be as low as possible.
"Then I'm not welcome!" Nalant did not give in, and walked calmly at the front.
When Duke Michel saw this, there was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
The young man in front of him seemed to be smarter than he imagined. No wonder he could become famous in this holy continent in such a short period of time.
Under normal circumstances, if he, a dignified Duke, behaves like this, he should refuse for the sake of face.
But now the other party accepts it calmly and doesn't feel embarrassed at all.
This shows that the other party is not an extremely face-saving person like ordinary young nobles.
Thinking about how to get Narant to minimize the ransom later, Duke Michel stepped forward.
Immediately, representatives from other principalities and empires followed suit.
The council hall of this alliance is similar to the presbytery hall in the previous life.
The layout is semicircular, with seats high around the perimeter and low in the middle.
All the principalities were in a semicircular position, and only the high platform in front had a row of long horizontal tables.
This horizontal long table is usually where the six empires and Theodore, the president, sit.
Because the most important thing today is that Nalant and Michelle discuss the issue of ransoming captives.
So after both parties entered the parliament hall, they went directly to the center of the hall.
There is a long table there for speeches.
At this moment, there are armchairs at both ends of the long table, specially prepared for the two of them.
After the two of them sat down, President Theodore above him said: "Everyone, I believe you all know what is going on today, so I won't say more!"
"As for Baron Nalant and Duke Michel, since you have invited all our representatives to come and witness, the results of your negotiations today have been notarized."
"Afterwards, I hope you can all take the results of the discussion seriously. Otherwise, if one party violates it, the alliance has the right to impose corresponding punishments!"
"Baron Nalant, Duke Michel, do you both understand?"
"clear!"
"clear!"
Nalant and Michel nodded towards President Theodore.
"Very good, you two can start!"
After speaking, President Theodore sat down directly and said nothing more.
At this time, Duke Michel immediately took over the topic, looked at Nalant and asked warmly: "Baron Nalant, this friction is really unnecessary!"
"It's a pity that many nobles in our principality couldn't help themselves after hearing the sad news of the death of the eldest prince, so they promoted this expedition."
"Originally, when a great catastrophe is about to come, our entire human race should unite and help each other to jointly face the coming dark abyss."
"But having said that, now that things have happened, it is useless to talk about it."
"Fortunately, things haven't reached the worst yet, so there's still room for a party!"
"Baron Narant, I, Michelle, solemnly request you, please, for the sake of the coming catastrophe, please release the captured Bach coalition knights."
"After all, this is a considerable force, and it will be of great use when dealing with dark creatures a few months later."
Duke Michel spoke sincerely and played the emotional card as soon as he came on stage.
And he wanted to use catastrophe to threaten Narant.
But who is Narant? Having lived in two lifetimes, Narant knows that all appearances are false.
In front of Li Zi, face is not worth mentioning.
He immediately smiled and said: "Duke Michel, what you said is quite light."
"Your Bach Empire's 100,000 coalition troops came to attack my small barony, and there are also three sky knights among them."
"I would like to ask, when they came here, did they consider the catastrophe that would come in a few months?"
"And if I, Nalant, am alive, can I also make a contribution to this continent?"
"Obviously, they don't have any. They only think about how to flatten my Storm Territory and how to destroy me, Nalant."
"It's a pity that you underestimated me, Nalant. In the end, all the 100,000 coalition troops were destroyed by me, Nalant."
"Now, you want to coerce me with your carelessness. Do you really think that I, Nalant, am a three-year-old child?"
"Duke Michel, I am putting my words here today. If you want to ransom the prisoners of the Bach coalition, then just send me the gold coins I want."
"I, Narant, are very reasonable. As long as the gold coins are enough, whether it is an ordinary extraordinary knight or Duke Bic, I will ensure that they return to the Bach Empire safely."
After hearing Nalant's unkind words, Duke Michel suddenly frowned.
This Nalant is really as he thought before, and will not be influenced by face.
However, in order to minimize the loss, Duke Michel still looked amiable and was not at all angry at Nalant for not giving him face.
"Baron Nalant, I know it is wrong for our Bach Empire to send out coalition forces to attack Stormland this time."
"I also know that Baron Nalant must be angry. However, Baron Nalant, you also said that you have not suffered any losses due to this."
"How about this, Baron Nalant, our Bach Empire is willing to pay a compensation to Baron Nalant and publicly apologize to Baron Nalant."
"Then how about we both shake hands and say goodbye?"
"Baron Nalant, you are an outstanding young noble, and now you have emerged in the Holy Continent."
"Presumably, Baron Nalant's future will definitely be immeasurable, so Baron Nalant's mind is also extremely broad."
Prince Michel continued to compliment Nalant.
In this world, the most valuable thing you care about most is your own face.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As for the dignified Duke Michel, he was so complimentary that any nobleman might feel a little carried away, and then he was set up by the noble man created by Duke Michel.
Once you have this layer of personality as a concern, then it's time for Michelle to show off.
In the past, this trick was very effective for any noble. Although Michelle Nalant was a little different, it shouldn't really be unaffected at all.
But the next moment, Michelle was disappointed, because Nalant really wasn't affected at all.
"Duke Michel, as the saying goes, talking about feelings hurts money. I, Narant, am a bit of a philistine. I'd rather talk about money first!"
"In addition, if Duke Michel is still so insincere, then I think there is no need to continue this meeting today."
When Mihir heard this, he paused and relaxed for a moment. Then the original warmth on his face finally disappeared and turned serious.
"Baron Nalant, you are really different!" Michelle said something to Nalant, whether it was a compliment or a sarcastic comment.
Immediately, he paused and continued: "Baron Nalant, I wonder how many soldiers in our Bach Empire were captured by you this time?"
"Including Duke Piccolo and others, there are a total of 63,212 people!"
Nalant gave a direct answer, and then ordered Lilia beside him, asking Lilia to hand over the prisoner list to Duke Michel.
Taking the list, Michelle took a deep breath.
More than 60,000 people were captured by Narant. He could not imagine how this battle was fought, which resulted in so many coalition soldiers being captured by Narant.
Of course, the more than 37,000 people who died made him even more heartbroken.
"Baron Narant, I have read the list, but the ransom amount you gave a few days ago is wrong?"
"Didn't you say last time that each ordinary extraordinary knight is worth a thousand gold coins, while the other commanders and Duke Piccolo are more expensive."
"Why has the ransom for ordinary soldiers increased by one hundred gold coins now?"
"And the gold coins of Duke Piccolo and others have increased by tens of thousands of gold coins?"
Duke Michel was a little confused as he held the list.
"Well, Duke Michel, have you forgotten that these coalition knights need to eat and drink in my territory, otherwise how can they survive without food or drink for a month?"
