Chapter 630
(Sorry, I'm going to kowtow to you all because of the slow update... I'm really trying to adjust, QWQ, I'm dying of inspiration...)
Not all negotiation conditions can satisfy people.
But every document is prepared to make the other party take a step back.
If you bring up the follow-up plan at the beginning, it will not be a good thing for both parties in the negotiation. The other party will not think that you have made concessions, nor will they think that you have shown enough sincerity.
The key to negotiation is how to make the other party think that you have made concessions.
"So we have prepared multiple alternative plans, Miss Laya." Ji Lin took the new document handed over by his deputy and put it on the table.
"What if we invite you and Miss An to be our guests? Cooperate with us to do some basic tests? This should be the part you can decide, right?"
Just some very basic tests on ability.
"Cooperate with the test in exchange for thousands of prisoners... You know, although we can obtain some data on the battlefield, there are still some differences compared to the actual test?"
This is definitely a generous condition. Leia believes that the group of priests will definitely agree to let her go without hesitation after hearing this condition.
The paladins are outsiders to them. There is almost no possibility of being captured for high-level combat power. It is a good deal to be able to exchange a group of prisoners unscathed through such defense.
As for the other party causing trouble to the paladins, that is something the paladins need to consider, not a problem they need to consider.
It's really troublesome.
"You know, a group of prisoners who have fought with us and survived should be very valuable to you...and we just hope you come to us to see that at least we are not the demons in the mouth of the church."
We have civilization, etiquette, and technology.
And, we are the same human beings as you.
Ji Lin spread his hands.
Leiya remained silent. She was leading the army outside and knew very well that the so-called gap between the same kind...the double gap of technology and culture...is not as beautiful as the other party described.
"In my opinion, your priests are closer to the so-called demons than us after sending 100,000 people to the battlefield."

In the end, Ji Lin did not fool two paladins to come together, he only fooled one.
Leia took the memorandum left by the recorder back to report, and the paladin An of the Holy Domain agreed to the request to go to the coalition base and also put forward her own reasons.
Her reason was that she needed to take care of the prisoners of war to prevent the coalition from sending these soldiers to an unrecoverable state. In exchange, she would also cooperate in more testing projects.
Ji Lin would not do such an immoral thing... But control the recovery speed of the prisoners of war, and then send a bunch of wounded soldiers back to occupy a large amount of medical resources of the Church...
Leave the paladin with higher combat effectiveness, and send the paladin who specializes in war zone assistance. They probably thought that if they detained one, the other could come and rescue directly with the advantage of the humanoid beast?
Even if they did not launch a rescue, a paladin launched destruction at all costs behind the coalition... The coalition would not be able to bear it.
Not to mention the possibility that Ivell and Laya, two holy warriors in the war field, could infiltrate and sabotage together. Although the coalition forces could retaliate by high-intensity air strikes on the rear of the Church, it would not be cost-effective for the lords who were still digesting the occupied land to quickly increase the intensity of the war.
Once the intensity of the war increases, the Supreme Command must increase the tax rate to maintain the front-line troops.
The two sides only fought bloody battles, and they have not yet killed each other.
After a brief self-introduction, Ji Lin extended his hand to her: "I hope we can get along well in the next period of time, Miss An."
"Ann, An Olivia." She stared at Ji Lin's outstretched hand for a while, then looked away: "Since Sister Laya agreed, I will also assist you according to the original test content. We holy warriors will not go back on our words like those priests."
Dogma and law bind every holy warrior.
An is very curious about what kind of world humans of another civilization live in. This is her little selfishness...Do humans who create such terrible weapons also live in a similar bad environment?
Her sight fell on another coalition soldier in gray uniform, who stood straight with a rifle in his hand, not much different from a well-trained Crusader infantryman.
An could feel the curious looks from others. There was no reverence and admiration that people under the rule of the Church would have when they saw her. They were just curious about her existence.
Where did their immortality come from?
A world without the Church?
Unlike Leia and Yves, who specialized in war, she was more like Alicia, a scholar. If the Church contract did not allow paladins to intervene in the governance of the country... she might be sitting in the position of a privy council elder now, instead of the chief of a legion.
It was also this characteristic that made her more suitable for collecting information and recording everything she saw.
"Would you like something to drink? We have prepared some cakes on the airship."
"We are still in a state of war."
"The state of war can be flexibly defined, depending on how you view war..." Ji Lin replied: "You don't always hold on to the scriptures and humanism, do you?"
In addition to the war, we still have a lot to communicate.
An's nose moved slightly, as if she smelled the aroma of the snacks on the table. Ji Lin spent a lot of effort to find a chef in the Holy City to make these pastries.
As for whether they suit his taste, he didn't care so much. At least the reception was acceptable.
"You are not an acting diplomat." An raised his head and looked at Ji Lin: "Sister Leia may not have seen it, but I can feel it... From the way the guards look at you, you are at least their superior, and you actually ran to such a frontline in person."
That look is very similar to the way the Crusaders look at her.
Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking that such things can be seen. However, since the person has agreed to cooperate with the test, he has no intention of covering up, and nodded to confirm her inference.
She looked at the pastries on the table, hesitated for a moment, but still worried about her colleagues, and continued.
"I hope that you can arrange a medical officer for the prisoners and let me meet them. I will cooperate with your work... It's my personal request."
Ji Lin sighed that the paladins are more like people than the priests.
"It's just that you haven't seen our cruel side." An choked back.
