559: Chapter 454: Alliance Under the City_3 559: Chapter 454: Alliance Under the City_3 The rulers of the other two cities will certainly suspect that this beautiful serpent might have secretly reached a secret agreent with their own.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, everything else becos easy to handle.
After all, it’s not just the Dwarves Elves who are adept at sches and intrigues, they are too.
“Thank you.” The smile on the dusa Lord’s beautiful face grew even sweeter, and even her head full of snake hair seed to flutter with excitent because the mont the other praised her like that, they had already made up their minds, “To show my sincerity, I have another new proposal for cooperation.”
“Oh?
Let’s hear it.” Gaven showed a look of interest, knowing that the longer he dragged out the ti, the more it worked in his favor.
Not only did he have the absolute initiative on the battlefield, but also Thunderwood within the Tower of Dominion would have completed a new round of charging.
As long as he controlled that superweapon, whether to fight or negotiate, the initiative was in his hands.
“Once I seize control of Delnox City, I would like to do a personnel exchange.
You give the female Dwarves prisoners you have, and I will give you those male Dwarves Elves without shadows, turning them all into True Wraiths.” The dusa Lord’s new proposal caught Gaven completely by surprise.
Gaven considered it briefly and asked, “What’s the exchange ratio?”
This ti, it was the dusa Lord’s turn to reveal a surprised expression and she said, “Of course, it’s one for one, do I even need to ask?”
“Impossible.” Gaven said with a cold laugh, “There’s no reason in the world to let you have all the advantages.
Not only would you permanently get rid of those who oppose you without any future worries, but you would also exchange them for a group of female Dwarves Elves who, once turned, will beco absolutely loyal dusas.
No matter how I calculate it, I am at a loss.
One for two is a more appropriate ratio.”
He directly pointed out the dusa Lord’s little sche, indicating he knew about her secret ability to turn females into dusas.
“Ha ha…
I didn’t expect the City Lord to be such a shrewd businessman.
But you only count my benefits, not considering your own,” the dusa Lord argued reasonably.
“Since you have Shadow creatures, you should be well aware of the difference between a Shadow and a True Wraith.
Before consuming their original body, a Shadow is just a poor imitation, with a limited capacity for growth.
But becoming a True Wraith is different; they will have the chance to grow into a Nightshadow Warrior like the shadows themselves.”
“Moreover, permanently eliminating a Dwarves Elf is also greatly beneficial for you, right?
One for one is fair and reasonable.”
“It’s just a chance for growth, not a certainty, and even if there wasn’t an exchange involving females, as long as they are against us, turning them into True Wraiths is just a matter of ti.” Gaven was equally unbending, “Besides, we could simply kill these female Dwarves prisoners to double the number of Shadows I possess.
If you don’t mind a pile of corpses, we can exchange one for one.”
“No, I want them alive.” The dusa Lord imdiately shook her head in refusal, as only females with their Soul Consciousness intact could be turned into dusas.
Those who had lost their shadows had fragnted Soul Consciousness; even if they were resurrected, they could not be transford into dusas.
“Then it’s impossible.
There’s no profit in this trade for , so why should I make a deal with you?” Gaven retorted.
“Because the firr my foothold, the safer your snoel will be.” The dusa Lord quickly ca up with a new reason, her eyes spinning.
Gaven laughed heartily, “Even if I let you go today, it doesn’t an we are intimate allies.
At best, we are using each other, and it’s still full of uncertainties.
Who knows, after turning around, might you not fall back into the arms of Lord Blade of Venom?
Don’t talk to about long-term interests, I want the imdiate, visible benefits.”
The dusa Lord couldn’t help but grind her teeth with frustration.
This young Rebooter was far more troubleso than she had imagined, as slippery and cunning as a Dwarves Elf wrapped in the skin of a Half-Elf, “Three for two, that’s my final offer.
If it works, we’ll make this trade, if not…”
“Done.” Gaven’s straightforwardness made the dusa Lord wonder if she had asked for too much.
Gaven also specified the location of the exchange, “Once you have the goods ready, bring them here, and soone will respond to you then.”
This indirectly showed the dusa Lord that her earlier guess was not just speculation, they indeed had the ability to monitor this place.
Their failure this ti was not a fluke, but an inevitability.
Because they chose to fight on the enemy’s ho ground, everything was under their host’s watchful eyes.
Fortunately, she had prepared for both possibilities, or else today, even if she did not surrender here, the foundation she had worked hard to build over the years would be lost.
Should she beco a commander without an army, the difficulty to seize the rulership of Delnox would massively increase.
The dusa Lord glanced down at the increasingly unfavorable situation for her side and said, “City Lord, can we go down and call a halt, and let my people go?”
“No rush.” Gaven’s gaze was cold as he stared at the still-invisible Nightshadow Sky Cavalry, “You’ve only finished stating your conditions, but I haven’t started mine!”
The dusa Lord looked at him in astonishnt, “Haven’t we already reached an agreent?”
“An agreent?
Who agreed with you?
From start to finish, it’s only been you talking to yourself.” Gaven’s face was stern, “Just empty words, and you want to let you and your n leave?
Where on earth do you find such a good deal?
I’ve already said, I don’t look to long-term interests, I look at what’s right in front of .”
“What do you want?” The dusa Lord, unable to maintain her previous smile, asked with a cold face.
“I want him to stay.” Gaven pointed out behind the dusa Lord.
To an outsider, that place appeared empty, but both Gaven and the dusa Lord knew there was a powerful presence there.
