Chapter 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 agreement with their own.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, everything else becomes easy to handle.

After all, it’s not just the Dwarves Elves who are adept at schemes and intrigues, they are too.

"Thank you." The smile on the Medusa Lord’s beautiful face grew even sweeter, and even her head full of snake hair seemed to flutter with excitement because the moment 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 time, 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 me the female Dwarves prisoners you have, and I will give you those male Dwarves Elves without shadows, turning them all into True Wraiths." The Medusa Lord’s new proposal caught Gaven completely by surprise.

Gaven considered it briefly and asked, "What’s the exchange ratio?"

This time, it was the Medusa 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 become absolutely loyal Medusas. No matter how I calculate it, I am at a loss. One for two is a more appropriate ratio."

He directly pointed out the Medusa Lord’s little scheme, indicating he knew about her secret ability to turn females into Medusas.

"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 Medusa 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 time." 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 Medusa Lord immediately shook her head in refusal, as only females with their Soul Consciousness intact could be turned into Medusas.

Those who had lost their shadows had fragmented Soul Consciousness; even if they were resurrected, they could not be transformed into Medusas.

"Then it’s impossible. There’s no profit in this trade for me, so why should I make a deal with you?" Gaven retorted.

"Because the firmer my foothold, the safer your Mesnoel will be." The Medusa Lord quickly came up with a new reason, her eyes spinning.

Gaven laughed heartily, "Even if I let you go today, it doesn’t mean 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 me about long-term interests, I want the immediate, visible benefits."

The Medusa Lord couldn’t help but grind her teeth with frustration. This young Rebooter was far more troublesome 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 Medusa 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 someone will respond to you then."

This indirectly showed the Medusa Lord that her earlier guess was not just speculation, they indeed had the ability to monitor this place.

Their failure this time was not a fluke, but an inevitability.

Because they chose to fight on the enemy’s home 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 become a commander without an army, the difficulty to seize the rulership of Delnox would massively increase.

The Medusa 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 Medusa Lord looked at him in astonishment, "Haven’t we already reached an agreement?"

"An agreement? 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 me to let you and your men 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 me."

"What do you want?" The Medusa Lord, unable to maintain her previous smile, asked with a cold face.

"I want him to stay." Gaven pointed out behind the Medusa Lord.

To an outsider, that place appeared empty, but both Gaven and the Medusa Lord knew there was a powerful presence there.
