Global Lord: My Undead Can Undergo Fission-Chapter 87: Taking the Initiative to Enter the Highland

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Taking the Initiative to Enter the Highland

People who were initially opposing suddenly shut their mouths.

Right, they still have air power. Although the offensive capabilities of their air power aren’t very strong, its transport abilities are not weak. A mere altitude of one or two thousand meters isn’t something we can block.

If they transport a troop at a location we can’t see, even if we manage to win the battle, we’ll suffer heavy losses.

If they coordinate an attack from below at that time, it’s really uncertain how things will turn out.

"Let’s agree to their demands now, but they must stop fighting; continuing this way, our losses will only grow larger," the chief of staff thought, as continuing the battle had lost its meaning at this point.

Li Mingshu nodded: "Let’s discuss the demands." A few people quickly discussed and then started writing them down on paper.

"It’s not the time for negotiations right now, don’t be too harsh, try to get them to stop first," the chief of staff said, quickly crossing out a few items before finalizing the plan.

Luckily, they brought some paper with them to the training area; otherwise, writing this would not have been easy.

The Mechanical Flying Eagle picked up the items, spread its wings, and flew into the sky.

"This mechanical creation is truly impressive, much smarter than our robots."

"Yes, these mechanical creations do have a certain level of intelligence, unlike our robots, which can only operate according to programs. If we had this technology back then, why would we let others suppress us?"

A group of people waited while directing the battle, as the battle hadn’t stopped yet.

The Mechanical Flying Eagle returned quickly, but to make them think it was still on the way, Fang Jie didn’t immediately issue any orders; instead, he waited here for a while.

"These are their demands; they agreed to let us build this road, but they don’t agree to our army going there to build camps. Instead, they proposed trading with us, what’s the point?"

"When was the last time you visited the trading district?" Qin Lan asked Fang Jie with curiosity.

"I check often; why, is there a problem?" Fang Jie was somewhat puzzled.

"It seems you haven’t noticed that the world rules have imposed a limitation on us."

Fang Jie was confused; he really hadn’t noticed that the world rules had added limitations.

"Maybe because the capabilities in the trading district are too strong, the world rules think we are disrupting the balance. Thus, although the trading district hasn’t disappeared, a significant limitation has been added."

"Going forward in the trading district, you can only trade with a different person once a day, and the total weight of the traded items cannot exceed one ton." This one-ton limit might seem substantial, but it’s actually nothing compared to the volume of bulk trades.

Fang Jie calculated this in his mind and was somewhat speechless: "In that case, the impact doesn’t seem too big."

Qin Lan rolled her eyes: "For the average person, the impact indeed isn’t that big, since there are more than one person trading every day, but it’s different for us, considering how much cargo we handle."

"I suspect that the world rules are like this because they don’t significantly affect most people right now; otherwise, even if the rules changed, there might be resistance. There seems to be some sort of rule involved."

Fang Jie was a bit stunned; were they really studying the rules now? Was he really that far behind Qin Lan?

"Don’t we have a market? Can’t we use that?"

"The market certainly works, but most people don’t have this building, so their trades still must follow the rules of the trading district. Moreover, although the market can facilitate bulk trading, now there will be tolls added. The longer the road and the more items transported, the higher the toll."

Fang Jie frowned; that’s just like shipping fees, no, more like a tariff.

"So that means if the distance is short, trading by direct transportation could be more cost-effective."

"Exactly, especially for us since our subordinates don’t require salaries, it’s certainly cost-effective." Their troops were simple-minded manufactured items that only needed food each day.

These troops lacked high-end thinking and thus didn’t have a concept of consumption, even the Hero Units had a weak concept of consumption.

"Alright, I understand. In that case, let’s agree. Additionally, where should we hold the negotiation?"

"Let’s go up there to negotiate, right in their military district." freeweɓnovel-cøm

"What? We clearly have the upper hand; by logic, shouldn’t they come down to us for negotiations?" Fang Jie wasn’t completely ignorant now; the advantage and disadvantage were quite clear.

Even if the other party couldn’t see it initially, just showing them would make them understand.

"Two reasons, first, we can show goodwill to the other side. Although the world has changed, the military’s reputation is still very useful temporarily. By using their reputation, we can easily recruit more people who are hiding."

Fang Jie nodded, indeed, the military had always had a favorable reputation in the old world.

Cooperating with the military could make others regard them more highly, feeling more secure, thus making it easier to recruit people.

"The second reason is that it’s difficult for us to gather intelligence here. Their strength is not weak; the reason they are negotiating with us must be because they encountered some danger; this might be our opportunity."

Just now, the Mechanical Flying Eagle wasn’t just transporting the negotiation agreement in the air, but also observing their strength.

Although it wasn’t clear if all their forces were out, the nearly one hundred thousand-strong mixed troop was very clearly indicative of their strength, including some Black Iron-level soldiers.

With this level of strength, there was no need for them to concede so early on.

This made both of them realize that the military was probably facing a very dangerous situation now.

"Alright, I understand. Regarding safety, I trust they wouldn’t dare to mess around."

"Even if they do mess around, there’s no fear. Haven’t you already reached Black Iron level? Behind you is the newly built road, plus that Mechanical Flying Eagle; they can’t stop you if you decide to leave."

Qin Lan was quite envious; he hadn’t even changed classes yet, while Fang Jie had already reached the Black Iron level.

Moreover, as a Mage, though an Undead Mage, he was still a Mage. If it were in the previous world, anyone who had a chance to gain such power probably wouldn’t hesitate to pay any price.

Fang Jie rubbed his head, he had indeed forgotten to include his own power in his calculations.

Without any Bronze-level assassins around, he indeed didn’t need to fear anything. Besides, even if there were any, he wouldn’t be afraid; he would have Bronze-level guards with him, who could arrive as long as he held out for a while.
