Chapter 1139: 511: Humiliation, military merit list published!_2

Duo Ning’s face trembled, and she said, "You... What conditions do you want?"

"Heh heh..." Lanling sneered coldly without replying.

Duo Ning looked away and said, "Whatever terms Konstantin is willing to agree to, we can match them."

After saying this, her exquisitely beautiful face quivered violently, and her eyes revealed a look of humiliation.

The meaning was clear: if Nini’an could marry Lanling, then Duo Ning could marry him too.

"Feeling humiliated? Feeling like you have to make such a great sacrifice for your tribal ambitions? The distinguished daughter of a Chieftain, reduced to marrying a lowly outsider like me?" Lanling narrated her inner thoughts mockingly.

Duo Ning remained silent and then said, "For my father, for the Wild Horse Tribe, I’m willing to do anything."

Lanling frowned and said, "Why do you women always feel so self-important? As if marrying me is some grand favor, some monumental sacrifice? Please, the women I’ve slept with—are any of them not prettier than you? Just among the Chimera Tribe alone, every woman I’ve had was more beautiful, and their moans in bed were far more pleasing."

Instantly, Duo Ning felt an even deeper sense of humiliation, one that nearly made her grit her teeth to dust.

She swore that if it weren’t for needing Lanling’s help, she would have already chopped off his head.

"What other conditions are there? Speak them," Lanling said.

Duo Ning replied, "We know your relationship with Suo Mo is strong. We are also willing to accept his Foreign Tribe Army and offer them the same treatment as the tribal forces."

"This is a condition?" Lanling sneered, "My uncle’s martial arts are overwhelming, and not to mention, he commands a thousand Foreign Tribe soldiers. To you, this is like receiving a lifeline, an enormous favor. What do you mean by ’willing to accept,’ ’equal treatment’? Don’t you think that’s laughable?"

Clearly, Duo Ning was not a good negotiator, as she immediately became flustered and angry, "Then what do you want?"

Lanling said, "You’re the one negotiating. Shouldn’t you name the conditions?"

"Suo Mo can join the Tribal Elder Council," Duo Ning said.

"And what else?" Lanling asked.

"That’s all," Duo Ning replied.

"And me?" Lanling asked.

Duo Ning replied, "What more do you want?"

Lanling said, "Is there no seat for me in the Elder Council?"

"Impossible!" Duo Ning said, "You’re being delusional."

Lanling smiled and said nothing further.

Of course, he wasn’t genuinely negotiating with Duo Ning. He was merely testing the Wild Horse Tribe’s limits.

Now it seemed that the Wild Horse Tribe still thought quite highly of themselves—they weren’t desperate enough yet!

Duo Ning said, "I can marry you, but I’ll decide when the wedding and consummation will take place. We will accept the Foreign Tribe Army, provide them the same resources as the tribal forces, and allow Suo Mo to join the Elder Council. Those are our final terms."

Lanling said, "And if I refuse?"

Duo Ning tightened her blade and said, "Then I’ll kill you right now, to avenge my brothers in the tribe. And since you won’t help us, you won’t fall into Konstantin’s hands either."

"So it’s either agree or die?" Lanling asked.

"Yes, agree or die!" Duo Ning said.

It seemed the Wild Horse Tribe and the Chimera Tribe were surprisingly alike.

Although Konstantin’s methods might be more despicable and shameless, the end result was exactly the same.

Lanling could either agree or die!

What sheer arrogance!

Lanling said, "Then I have a condition too."

Duo Ning coldly replied, "What condition?"

Lanling said, "You’ll consummate the marriage with me right now. I might consider your terms."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Duo Ning’s gaze flared with an explosive killing intent. She could no longer contain her inner rage and swung her curved blade down forcefully.

"You’re seeking death!"

With a furious shout, Duo Ning truly intended to cut Lanling’s head off!

But...

As her blade swung down midway, her entire body froze in place, as if she were immobilized.

This was because a sharp sword had pressed against her waist.

The person holding that sword was, of course, Suo Mo.

He had been focused on deeply recovering his strength lately, constantly immersed in meditation. But to protect Lanling, he stayed in the adjacent room.

At this moment, Lanling felt a little embarrassed. After all, he had just acted indecently toward a girl in front of his elder.

But he wasn’t truly behaving indecently—he aimed to completely enrage Duo Ning to test the Spirit Solidifying Skill.

Only when she was utterly furious and lost rational thought would she also lose most of her mental defenses.

But Suo Mo had intervened just in time. Lanling hadn’t yet used the Spirit Solidifying Skill.

Lanling stared coldly at Duo Ning and sneered, "My uncle spared you and your father’s lives on the battlefield, and this is how you repay him?"

"Kill me or torture me, do as you please," Duo Ning said coldly.

Lanling said, "I don’t waste my time negotiating with fools like you. Go back and relay two messages to your father: First, we are not his enemies. Second, no matter how dire the situation gets, he must do everything to stay alive."

Suo Mo withdrew his sword from Duo Ning’s waist and stepped aside.

Duo Ning glared fiercely at Lanling before turning and walking out.

"The direction you’re heading leads to Konstantin’s main tent. That’s suicide," Lanling said coldly.

Duo Ning gritted her teeth and changed her direction, leaving Lanling’s tent and vanishing into the darkness.

"How did it go?" Suo Mo asked.

Lanling said, "As expected, they won’t shed tears until they see the coffin. Even now, as they beg us for salvation, it’s still with an air of entitlement. Looks like they haven’t suffered enough. Let’s wait for their battle with the Ankara Tribe. When the Wild Horse Tribe is annihilated, reduced to barely a hundred survivors—they might finally recognize reality."
