Chapter 338: Lure
Trantor: Editor:
Over nine hundred Jia n’s big warriors were captured alive.
All those Jia n’s big warriors were only half a step away from bing top-grade warriors, and any of them could be considered as the backbone of an army, the pir that had been supporting a noble family.
Except for the hierarchical differences, the value Di Suo and Di Mo had added to the Di Family were actually not as much as the value made by any Jia n’s big warrior.
Instantly, Di Lung showed a bit nervousness. He was clearly aware of those hidden rules between the humankind and the non-humankind. Upon the current situation, Di Suo and Di Mo were basically safe, and as long as the Di Family offered enough as ransom, the humankind would love to release them after draining their surplus values.
However, those Jia n’s big warriors were the core of the non-humankind armies, always fighting as the main forces in wars. Who had done the most harm to the humankind were no one else but them. Therefore, in fact, Di Luohang never hoped that the humankind could release those Jia n’s big warriors.
When Ji Hao mentioned those Jia n’s big warriors, Di Lung’s eyeballs immediately began shining brightly.
Even to the Di Family, training nearly a thousand Jia n’s warriors was never an easy thing to do. If all those Jia n’s big warriors could go back to the Blood Moon in full shape, that would surely be the perfect thing. However, Di Lung had already seen what Ji Hao could do in the field of extortion. Extra cautiously, he said, “But dear Lord Ji Hao, you have to understand that, the value of those Jia n’s warriors can never bepared with Di Suo and Di Mo.
“Sure, sure, I’m fully aware of that. You can’t sell dragon meat and Jurassic beast meat at the same price, can you?” said Ji Hao while nodding and patting on Di Luoyang’s shoulder. As for Di Lung, he seemed to be choked by Ji Hao’s words, and couldn’t say anything for quite a while.
What Ji Hao said was totally reasonable, however, it was also quite hurting.
“Firstly, we can’t release them before this Chi Ban Mountain war ends,” looking at Di Lung, Ji Hao said with a serious face, “I hope you can understand. Every single one of them is way too powerful, and if they go back, each putting on a new armor, they would immediately be nearly a thousand armored Jia n’s big warriors, capable of devastating a human army of one-hundred-thousand warriors.”
Di Lung remained silent, and after a while slowly nodded, and said, “I hope they can be treated well during their custody.”
Ji Hao gave a big grin, nodded hurriedly and said, “Our humankind is always kind, generous and friendly. We certainly won’t do such things as abusing captives.”
While Ji Hao was speaking, from a corner of the special army campsite, a thrilling howl suddenly rose into the air. Magi Pce’s people had been doing their experiments on those Jia n’s big warriors, only god knew what they had just done to make the voice of some poor Jia n’s man transmit into the main camp throughyers of enchanted screen.
Di Lung’s look slightly changed, while Ji Hao gave a simple, innocent smile, and said, “Ah, that’s for sure, but if any of them dared to break the rules of the prison, they would definitely be punished severely. But of course, you need not worry. They would lose a few bones tops, and absolutely no one will die.”
Di Lung had his teeth gnashed with hatred and red at Ji Hao right in the eyes, then, he slowly and reluctantly nodded.
“Good, secondly, you will pay ransom for them. I totally understand that those Jia n’s big warriors are not as valuable as Di Suo and Di Mo, so...” said Ji Hao while rubbed his own hands hard and stared at Di Lung with a pair of glowing eyes, “that many of Jia n’s big warriors, can at least be worth one...no, ten metal city-forts, like the one Di Sha and his brothers were using before, right?”
Di Lung couldn’t help but quiver his body, nearly spurting a full mouthful of blood out. Desperately, he screamed out, “No! Not gonna happen! Every single one of those portable metal forts has its own unique code, and we can never fulfil your requirement, because we cannot sneakily give you any of our metal forts!”
“Then we won’t do it sneakily, we can just take one!” said Ji Hao with a nd and unperturbed look, “You go find a small family, let them take the me for us. Use your resources, provide them ten metal forts, but also secretly arrange your people in those forts. After weunch the attack and break those forts, those forts will naturally be ours.”
Di Lung, who was yelling at the moment, instantly shut his mouth, stared at Ji Hao stunned, unable to let a word out for a very long while.
“You see, dear Elder Di Lung, everything is negotiable, everything can be settled.” Carelessly, Ji Hao pped on Di Lung’s shoulder again and said, “Now, you should quickly think of some poor small family that had wrongly offended you before, or the one you have something personal against them, to be our target to frame; then we can just destroy them with our n!”
Di Lung quickly blinked his eyes while his eyeballs rolling speedily in his eye sockets, then he said slowly andzily, “To a big family like us, the cost of making metal forts is nothing. However, in this case, the risk is too big. That kind of portable metal fort is the Xiu n’s newest work during the recent years, and those top-level people have their eyes on those metal forts very closely.”
Ji Hao pressed his hand hard on Di Lung’s shoulder and said, “I’m going to say this again, your Yu n is so strong and so powerful, giving us a little bit benefit can never actually harm you. That’s nothing but ten portable metal forts. I assure we won’t use those forts in the battlefront for this Chi Ban Mountain war. We will use them to build our own territories.”
Di Lung looked at Ji Hao in surprise, asked, “Really?”
Ji Hao looked back at him seriously, responding in a matter of fact tone, “Of course!”
Di Lung let out a breath in relief, smiled and said, “If those metal forts won’t appear in the Chi Ban Mountain war, this would be much easier. However, ten are too much. They were only nearly a thousand Jia n’s big warriors. For their lives, we will give you two metal forts at most. This is our bottom line, beyond which, we won’t pay you even another single jade coin!”
Ji Hao looked at Di Lung’s iparably determined face, realizing that this time his decision was unshakable.
Remaining silent for a while, Ji Hao sighed and said, “What about you give us ten metal forts and we give Di Suo and Di Mo a heavenly great military exploit?”
In a great shock, Huaxu Lie’s head heavily bumped against the long, wooden table before his face; Si Wen Ming, Elder Wulong and the others who were still standing outside the camp had alsorgely popped out their eyes.
Give then a military exploit? How could that even happen?! During wars between the humankind and the Blood Moon, military exploits of the Blood Moon’s people were calcted upon how many human civilians, warriors ormanders they had ughtered!
Di Lung looked at Ji Hao in a weirdly careful look and asked, “Military exploit? You give us a military exploit? I...I’m afraid that this is impossible, isn’t it?”
Ji Hao smiled, looked back at Di Lung and said gently, “Why not? Everything is possible. Come, let’s just carefully and cautiously make a n. You should listen to my n at first and see how it is.”
While speaking, Ji hao took out a map painted on leather from the drawer in front of Huaxu Lie. After that, he pointed his finger at a spot on the map, looked at Di Lung sideways with a weird, evil and even creepy smile on his face, and said, “For example, the Qian Family. They’re your enemy, aren’t they? You always have a bad rtionship with them, right?”
Hearing Ji Hao, Di Lung’s eyes suddenly sparkled. “The Qian family...You’ve got lots of information from them, haven’t you?!”
Ji Hao smiled and responded, “Good, let’s take the Qian family as an example. The Qian family’s army that is in the battlefront, is encircled by our human army because of wrong information.”
