Chapter 479 405: Negotiation Leverage (2)
When Fang Ka assigned the task to Mr. Zhou, he specifically noted that Mr. Zhou could have full authority over the negotiation matters, and that even the distribution of interests could be directly decided by Mr. Zhou.
The reason Fang Ka dared to make such a decision is based on understanding that players don't enjoy being at a loss; they absolutely want to have a hand in everything and take their share.
And since players naturally belong to his undead camp, when it comes to the distribution of interests, they will undoubtedly consider it their own interest distribution.
As such, Mr. Zhou will certainly maximize the benefits he can fight for, and there's no need to worry about that at all.
After a slight contemplation, Mr. Zhou directly raised his head: "Then, Your Majesty King Jana, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
Looking at Mr. Zhou's skeleton head in front of him, King Jana laughed heartily, then extended his palm to slightly shake Mr. Zhou's skeletal hand: "You are indeed a very interesting undead skeleton. Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"By the way, afterward, have the necromancer in charge on your side bring over a communication magic array carrier. I hope we can communicate directly to prevent any unforeseen situations. Do you understand what I mean?"
Upon hearing King Jana's words, Mr. Zhou nodded immediately: "Alright, Your Majesty King Jana. After I return, I will convey your words to the necromancer in charge and have the communication magic array carrier sent to you as soon as possible."
After hearing Mr. Zhou's words, King Jana smiled contentedly and then slowly spoke: "My name, you must have heard before. From now on, just call me Lord Luo De without needing any formal titles."
"Additionally, I would like to know the name of the necromancer in charge on your side."
Upon hearing King Jana's inquiry, Mr. Zhou contemplated slightly, thinking there was no need to hide the name Fang Ka, so he nodded gently and spoke slowly: "Lord Luo De, the necromancer in charge on our side is named Fang Ka."
Upon hearing Mr. Zhou's words, Luo De raised his eyebrows slightly, a bit surprised.
"Fang Ka, is it? I see, you may go back now, and please deliver the communication magic array carrier here as soon as possible."
After lightly nodding, Mr. Zhou then left the royal palace with the other players.
After Mr. Zhou and the other players had completely left, the legendary tier Gana standing by the side, dressed in black armor, first bowed to Luo De, then slowly spoke: "Father, you seemed quite surprised when you heard the name Fang Ka just now."
Glancing at the legendary tier Gana dressed in black armor beside him, Luo De spoke indifferently: "Luo Na, you are a training battle fanatic, always busy either training or looking for people to spar, or leading patrols, so it is normal for you not to understand many things."
"Let me explain to you then. There was once a rather terrifying prodigy in the Bright Church Country, who later betrayed the Bright Church Country and could no longer be traced."
"Therefore, with the rise of the undead forces in the Chaotic Sea Domain this time, I always thought that prodigy was behind supporting it all, but I really did not expect it was not him, which was quite surprising."
"But it doesn't matter who the necromancer behind this is. Since he is capable of pulling together such a powerful undead force, his capability is beyond doubt."
"Cooperating with such people is dangerous, but the benefits are substantial. By the way, you should pay more attention to various information in the future, and go through the records in the secret library."
"Otherwise, it will be challenging for you to inherit my position in the future."
Upon hearing Luo De's words, Luo Na raised his eyebrows slightly, then lightly shook his head: "I dare not aspire to inherit Father's position, and I am well aware of my own affairs. I am skilled in fighting and training, but when it comes to toying with power tactics, I am not adept at all."
"So, Father, please consider my other brothers without factoring me in."
After hearing Luo Na's words, Luo De shook his head lightly in exasperation: "Forget it, how many times have I told you that since you have no interest in my position, there is nothing I can do."
"Compared to your other brothers, firstly you're the eldest, and secondly, your combat talent is the strongest among all your brothers, so ideally, I would really want you to inherit my position. However, my position is not one that can be filled by strength alone. Your personality is indeed unsuitable, and I have mentioned this many times, yet you are unwilling to change."
"Alright, I won't say more. Just go and do what you need to do."
Upon hearing Luo De's words, Luo Na nodded gently, intending to turn and leave.
However, seeming to think of something, Luo Na immediately turned back to inquire: "Father, I have another question."
Upon hearing Luo Na's words, Luo De asked curiously: "Oh? I wonder what other question you have? Just speak directly."
Luo Na lightly nodded, then pondered aloud: "Father, I want to ask why you didn't give our magic array carrier to those undead creatures to take back to their necromancer?"
"Instead, you asked them to go back and request their necromancer for their magic array carrier to bring it to you, which complicates something that could be quite simple."
Upon hearing Luo Na's words, Luo De shook his head in disappointment: "Silly son, you really are not fit to inherit my position. You must understand that if I provide my communication magic array carrier to those undead creatures to bring back to their necromancer, they could present this item at any time, proving the collusion between our Gana race and their undead forces."
"At that time, it would give a good excuse for those disgusting forces on the East and West Continents to criticize us. Although I don't really care about my reputation, I don't want nasty words to reach my ears."
"And truthfully, I am not particularly inclined to maintain a long-term partnership with this undead force. I even consider perhaps delivering a stab in the back sometime?"
"So there's no need to leave them a handle. If they present this handle in the future, anyone would laugh at our Gana race."
"While our Gana race might be considered enemies by the world, others fear us, hate us, oppose us, but they don't despise us."
"It is different with the undead forces, which are universally despised. I definitely don't want to be too entangled with them."
"When they send the communication magic array carrier over, I will explain to their necromancer that both sides will maintain their positions and not merge together."
"After defeating the other three oceanic race forces, when dividing territories, we must put on a show, even stage a fake fight for other external forces to see. Cooperation can exist secretly, but not publicly."
"When making concessions during negotiation, I had actually considered this. After making significant concessions, making such a relatively small request in the context of a cooked rice situation, I believe the necromancer behind the other side will inevitably agree, do you understand what I mean?"
After listening to Luo De's explanation, Luo Na was a bit dumbfounded. To be honest, after hearing Luo De's words, he never thought it involved so much intricate maneuvering.
His expression stiffened slightly, and he bowed to Luo De, said that he understood, and then retreated.
