“Actually, the fact that I captured that elder back this time doesn’t mean that we have won this war, and naturally, it doesn’t mean that they have lost.”
“Originally, I could have taken advantage of the chaos and just killed the elder, so that they would have no leader and their army would be in disarray, so it would be a good opportunity for us, but I have thought about it, and we would never be able to win.”
If one could take advantage of the chaos to kill the elders and cause more chaos on the opposite side, then naturally it would be an excellent opportunity to attack them.
But the problem was that after many days of bitter fighting, Han Qianqian had not only a camp full of wounded soldiers on his hands, but most importantly there were just not many of them left.
Most of the men had already been sacrificed, while the rest were simply not enough to launch a counter-charge.
So, there was only one situation at that point.
Han 3,000 had made a big noise on their side, but because there was no attack from outside to make them more
chaos, then, with time, they would always slowly restore order.
By then, when the millions of troops came back to their senses, the overall battle situation would not really be much different from now.
They will go back and re-elect their temporary commanders, and their own side will get a little time to recuperate and prepare for defence for the time being.
But the cost of doing so would be far higher than it is now.
The loss of their own brothers would be greater, and it was anyone’s guess as to when the enemy would choose a new commander, which meant that Night Sky City could be re-attacked by the enemy at any time.
“So, I’ve thought about it, instead of winding up and passing with heavy losses, we should do what we’re doing now, at least we’ll all have peace for another twelve hours.” Han Qianqian said.
“But twelve hours doesn’t seem to do much for us.” Hai Jin
said with some concern.
“I’d like to get a longer time too, but the other party isn’t stupid, and with such a situation, my asking price can’t be too much to make it easy to refuse.” Han Qianqian said.
Once one was rejected, trying to re-negotiate at this point would actually be the same as lowering one’s own price, or the bargaining chips were no longer as **far** as they were initially.
Stopping when it’s appropriate is sometimes the basic guarantee for negotiation.
“What are Mr. Han’s plans?” Luo Jin asked.
Han Qianqian frowned slightly, “I won’t hide it from you all, but I actually don’t have too good an idea at the moment.”
Luo Ying’er spoke up, “I agree with Sir Han’s approach, however, twelve hours is very short, we have to come up with a good solution as soon as possible, we don’t have much time to burn.”
Han Qianqian nodded, “This is also why I have called several people to
here for a reason.”
With those words, Han Qianqian took a somewhat melancholy sip of mulled wine.
Scar thought for a moment and opened his mouth, “Why don’t we wait for the twelve hours to arrive and delay them for a while longer? The hostages are in our hands anyway.”
Han Qianqian refused straight away, “Let’s not talk about the patience of others, but personally I, Han Qianqian, would never go back on my word, even in the face of my enemies.”
Hai Jin also nodded his head, “That’s right, a gentleman’s word is a promise that cannot be kept.”
Scar muttered, “It’s a war, who’s going to talk to him about benevolence and morality.”
“By the way, why aren’t the Ant-Man brothers here?” Han Qianqian suddenly remembered that the Ant-Man commander-in-chief was not in place.
Although Tigertooth had gotten out of the trap, after all, with his cultivation level, he was lucky to be able to run out from the 10,000 troops by taking cover, and the injuries he had sustained were quite a few, so Han
The injuries he sustained were quite a lot, so Han Sanqian had long since arranged for him to enter the Eight Directions World for temporary recuperation, and he did not come here.
However, the Ant-Man side should not be a big problem, as the Ant-Man had also been arranged by Han Sanqian to go into the Eight Directions World to recuperate in shifts.
“Oh, that’s right, we don’t have much wine left here, and I was going to buy some good wine on the way here.” Scar returned, “He told us to bring Lord Luo and the others over first while he went to buy the wine. But it’s about time, he should be back too.”
Just as the words left his mouth, the Ant-Man Commander walked in at that moment with a large jar of wine on top of him.
Seeing the Ant-Man, Han Qianqian’s thoughts suddenly opened up all at once.
Immediately afterwards, Han Qianqian smiled: “This wine is a really good buy, I think …… I suddenly thought of some good methods within twelve hours all of a sudden.”
