Chapter 491 - 491 491 Remote Negotiation

491: Chapter 491 Remote Negotiation 491: Chapter 491 Remote Negotiation “The distance from our side seems quite far, this shouldn’t be the Simultaneous Writing Skill, but rather an advanced spell.”

“That should be the case, I’ve never heard of the Simultaneous Writing Skill working over such a distance.

But an advanced spell?

It seems this Lord’s alchemy ability is very strong.” Alchemists among mages are quite wealthy.

However, what they cared about was not this; the reason they were negotiating was because the other party’s alchemy weapons were very powerful.

Such long-range offensive weapons, they are practically like those troublesome elves, invisibly leading to annihilation.

“It might not necessarily be so, it’s possible it’s from his subordinates or obtained from other places.”

“No matter how he got it, what we should consider now isn’t this.”

“Right, right, right, we still need to discuss what follows.”

Thinking of this, a skeleton began to write on a piece of paper, “Hello Lord Xuanwu, we are undead mages who have fled from the North, and we believe you are aware of our situation.”

“If you cannot help us resolve this issue, then we can only resort to force.”

This indicated they were at the end of their rope, and if Zhao Guang continued to resist, they would have no choice but a showdown.

After all, no matter how difficult this place is to attack, it’s still much easier than those eastern fortresses.

Once past the outposts, the walls behind are not so tall nor continuous, and at that point, resistance becomes much more difficult.

Awaiting for a moment, new text began to emerge.

“I’m not afraid of a direct confrontation; I can simply invite orc reinforcements to help.”

The group exchanged glances, “Orcs?

Can Lord Xuanwu really summon orc troops?

Right, he managed to get so many wolf cavalrymen; he certainly has some relations with the orcs.”

“What should we do, then?

We don’t care about a small number of orcs, but if their numbers are large, along with the defensive fortifications here, we might as well try our luck in the east.”

“Damn it, if only we could have captured those lizardmen in advance.”

The others looked at him as if he were a fool.

If that were the case, they would have more undead under their command, and the quality of the lizardmen undead is not bad either.

At that time, one surge forward, and sheer numbers would overwhelm the opposition.

“Enough, why talk about this?

Even if we really could capture them, we couldn’t control that many undead.”

“Ask him, what exactly will it take for him to let us pass.

If he lets us through, we can offer him some benefits, but tell him not to overdo it.”

The skeleton nodded, “Okay, I’ll inquire.”

Then it wrote on the paper, “We can offer you some benefits, as long as you let us head south.”

On the other side, Zhao Guang looked at the paper, and he too began to ponder.

In fact, he himself did not want to confront these undead mages.

After all, his own battle spells were a bit deficient, sufficient against one or two maybe, but not against many.

After all, those undead mages, each with various means, and every one of them holding their own trump cards.

Don’t look at how his bombing had overwhelmed them before, but if it happened again, the effect would not be as good.

Not only that, once Magic Power is depleted, it does not restore so quickly, and direct combat is also problematic.

If it really came to a fight, the opposition wouldn’t likely give him an hour to recover.

“Master, what shall we do?

It looks like if we don’t let them through, they really might launch a strong attack.

We don’t know how many undead mages are still to come; this might not be all of them.”

Zhao Guang nodded, “Of course not, but these people can’t possibly be completely without gaps.”

Just looking at the site of his previous bombing, it was evident that these undead mages were not together; they were very mistrustful of each other.

Otherwise, such a situation would never have arisen.

Therefore, these undead mages are also afraid of taking damage and then being preyed upon by their so-called comrades.

The situation now was that neither side dared to act first; it was a matter of who could gain more advantage from the situation.

With this thought, Zhao Guang once again wrote, “You may head south, but you must do so outside of my territory.” Saying this, Zhao Guang listed several place names and some distinctive terrain.

The undead mages on the other side, preparing to take out their maps for comparison, saw this.

Because there had been no lord here for a long time, they were quite familiar with the area.

Some names were different from their original namings, but by comparing the maps, they understood.

Soon, a map was delivered from the outside; a crawling zombie brought it quickly.

“That won’t do, eh, does his territory span this wide?

Looking at this, it seems we would have to pass through orc territory.”

“Those battle-crazed orcs, while good for making undead, would mean drastic losses if we directly clashed with them.

If we suffer too extensive losses, it would be difficult to establish a foothold once we head south.”

“Stop talking about that, is his territory really that extensive?

It even extends deep into orc lands.

Wait, that’s not right, this place, isn’t this inside our Plague Swamp?”

Suddenly someone slapped their forehead, “I remember now, when I arrived, I saw a sign in a corner, it seemed to read ‘Welcome to Xuanwu Territory’.”

“These human nobles, each one thinks sticking up a sign means it’s their territory.”

“But the problem is, the administrative bodies really believe it.

By the way, what if we walk through the interior of the territory?

If it hasn’t been occupied yet, they probably won’t know.”

“Wait, first let’s ask.” The skeleton said this and began to write again.

Seeing this inquiry, Zhao Guang showed a smile, it seemed things were going his way.

“As long as you go that way and do not disturb the orcs, then I can persuade them to clear the way for you to head south.”

Zhao Guang believed he had the influence to make this happen; after all, the orcs did not value the borderlands very much.

Unlike the human empire that valued its territory, to the orcs, lands unsuitable for grazing and hunting held little value.

Despite the vast expanse of the Beastman Empire, few orcs ventured to the northern borderlands.

Even for the races residing there, they were mostly weaker tribes.

Believing this mindset, as long as a suitable price is offered, they could be swayed.

However, to head south, once reaching a certain region, the orcs would no longer give way, but that was no longer his concern.

Seeing this, the undead mages exchanged looks, not expecting Lord Xuanwu to have such clout.
