Free Web NovelChapter 549: Chapter 224: Battle’s End, Deep Sea Stone Lotus (Part 3)
"Lord, consider yourself lucky this time!" The King of the Sea immediately spat harsh words to vent his anger upon arrival.
"If you say it’s luck, then so be it!" Yi Tian was indifferent.
"Lord, tell me, how much do you want?"
This failure of the Sea Kingdom caused the King’s blood pressure to soar, unable to calm down for a long time.
Demon Wolf Abyss, the major forces, High Priest, State Preceptor exerting their power, over sixty thousand troops!
And each one is the pride of the heavens.
How long has it been?
In the future, who else in Dagu Realm can restrain the Demon Lord?
"No rush, let me finish counting the battlefield, see how many of your country’s people are captured. Then your country will have to pay me compensation for casualties, territorial damage, mental distress, food for captives, medical expenses, and a little for corpse clearance." Yi Tian replied to the King of the Sea as he walked out of the Celestial Prison.
"Fine! Our Sea Kingdom admits defeat." The King of the Sea had a purpose, agreeing to whatever Yi Tian said for now.
"As the saying goes, not knowing each other until there’s a fight. Also, your daughter is quite beautiful, even making me, a human, tempted. Why not shake hands and make peace, and let her stay in my territory?"
Just then, Yi Tian nonchalantly said something that caused the King of the Sea’s blood pressure to spike again.
"No way! My precious daughter is not someone you can match! I want to redeem my daughter, as long as the price is reasonable, I will pay." The King of the Sea was agitated.
From Jones’s implications, the King of the Sea knew the Demon Lord had not yet discovered the Deep Sea Stone Lotus.
He cherished his daughter and did not want the national treasure to be lost.
He knew his daughter’s beauty, feared the Demon Lord would do something bestial.
"Lord, if you dare to harm a hair on my daughter, you will get nothing." After speaking, the King of the Sea replied harshly.
"That depends on how much you’re willing to give up! You should know, I don’t lack resources, I want to see whether your ransom or your daughter tempts me more!"
The initiative was in Yi Tian’s hands, and the King of the Sea’s sternness was meaningless to him.
Yi Tian instructed Gu Qianqiu to first tally the captives from the Sea Race, assess their specific strengths, and have the Sea Race captives gather their tribe’s bodies.
Very quickly, after a search, it took about two hours to gather everything they had.
At this point, the Demon Wolf Abyss incident was not over yet. Yue Fei, Guan Yu, Zu Ti, and Huo Qubing were leading soldiers to hunt down all enemies within the territory, with the cooperation of the Eastsea Falcon and the Golden Eagle.
The warships were released back into the Saltwater Lake.
Cutting off any possible escape routes for the enemy.
Members of the Galaxy Agriculture Company, aboard the Bronze Assault Boats, were fishing bodies out of the lake, making some extra money on the side.
Under the attack of the Profound Turtle and the Water Qilin, only about half of Great Fei Kingdom’s assault boats escaped.
Of the nearly five thousand soldiers of Great Fei Kingdom who fell into the water, more than half swam out of the Mist, several hundred were killed by the Water Qilin and Profound Turtle. Over a thousand were forced back to the territory by the Water Qilin and Profound Turtle to serve as captives.
There were still hundreds of assault boats in the lake, and three thousand Divine Weapons needed to be salvaged.
"Your Majesty the King, it’s unfortunate that we only captured over 4000 of your Sea Kingdom, including 26 A-level Warriors. I don’t want more from these Sea Race warriors. Including compensation for territorial damage, casualty compensation, mental distress fee, etc., the total is thirty million gold. I will gather and return the bodies of your heroic warriors who died in battle, free of charge."
"Not including Sona and Jones!"
Yi Tian thought he wasn’t asking for much, just three times the auction house price.
"Including Sona and Jones, I am willing to give you thirty million units of gold." The King of the Sea replied to Yi Tian.
"Ha ha. Your Majesty the King, you are redeeming your people, the brave warriors who fought for the country, not trading slaves. You should only be able to price them as B-level slaves, this is my bottom line. If not, then we’ll each go our separate ways." Yi Tian gave a final price, not considering haggling over this.
"Alright! I’ll add another ten million gold, to redeem my daughter and Jones." The King of the Sea gritted his back teeth, as he now just wanted his daughter to return with the Deep Sea Stone Lotus.
"Ten million? A princess of a nation, breaking through to S-level at under two hundred years old, truly a prodigious woman. Is she worth so little? I once captured a B-level prince for whom I demanded a ransom of a billion gold." Yi Tian said with a hint of a message.
A billion gold!
"Greedy lord! Our Sea Kingdom has already offered thirty million gold, where can I find another billion units of gold? This is too difficult." The King of the Sea flatly refused.
The Deep Sea Stone Lotus isn’t worth a billion gold, the Demon Lord really dares to name his price.
"In such a vast country! If there’s no gold, there can be resources, like Spirit-level Stone and top-grade Wood. If that doesn’t work, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures will do too. Beast Cores, forget it, I don’t want them." Yi Tian only wanted what couldn’t be purchased at an auction house.
"The national strength is weak, can’t gather so many valuable items." The King of the Sea was unwilling to be extorted like this.
"If unwilling, then let’s forget it!" Yi Tian acted as if to hang up the conversation.
"Lord, return the Crystal Ball to my daughter, let me talk to her to confirm her safety, then I’ll reconsider." The King of the Sea quickly called after Yi Tian.
"No need, just right for an intimate acquaintance with the princess." Yi Tian certainly refused the King of the Sea’s request.
Is it to see if she’s safe, or to check if the Deep Sea Stone Lotus is still on her?
Yi Tian just wanted the King of the Sea to be uncertain, making him gamble.
At the same time, he wanted to see Sona’s importance in the King of the Sea’s heart.
"Lord, you will get nothing!" The King of the Sea’s blood pressure, which was finally stable, rose again.
Yi Tian’s words were the greatest shame in a father’s life.
Moreover, such words would definitely expose the Deep Sea Stone Lotus.
"I don’t need to get anything. To die under the peony flower, even as a ghost, one could revel. Not to mention a trivial amount of gold!" Yi Tian pressed hard for the sake of interest.
It’s not that Yi Tian is harsh; it’s the Sea Kingdom’s choice.
People must be responsible for their actions, and since the Sea Kingdom chose to attack him and greedily sought the Earth Bear, they must be prepared for failure.
If Yi Tian was attacked today, survival would definitely be a luxury!
In comparison, Yi Tian only asks for resources; Sona and Jones and others are already very fortunate.
