In this crucial negotiation, they had done everything in their power to secure greater benefits for the human society represented by the United Nations. Yet faced with Moros's hardline attitude and harsh demands, they clearly felt powerless.
There was no helping it. That was the price of losing a war.
Under Moros's unmistakable threat of force, no matter how much Richard and Gerard wanted to argue their case, they still had to compromise in certain areas.
For example, they had to acknowledge the validity of the secret agreement they had previously signed—that Australia now belonged to the necromancer.
But even such a concession failed to satisfy Moros's appetite.
In the necromancer's eyes, this negotiation was the perfect opportunity to press his advantage and make the people in power at the top of human society's pyramid bleed a fortune.
How could he possibly let such an opportunity slip away so easily?
Therefore, Moros stubbornly held fast to the issue of New Zealand's ownership and the demand for 1.5 trillion Mu Continent Currency in reparations.
By contrast, the United Nations delegation represented by Richard and Gerard found itself in a rather passive position.
Having already paid the price of Australia, the people in power behind them clearly had no desire to keep raising the stakes.
Without the support of those in power, Richard and Gerard, the two negotiators, no longer had the confidence to continue bargaining.
Keenly noticing this, Moros decided to give those carnivores, who seemed to be having a slight problem with their memories, a reminder.
He would use his own methods to make the people in power at the peak of human society understand that the necromancer's power and resolve were not to be underestimated.
By the third day of negotiations, the atmosphere had grown increasingly tense.
"Phew..."
