Everyone has their own bottom line and principles to protect, and Baru is no different. People of the grasslands value their promises highly, as do middle-aged men, or they wouldn't use this as leverage. While Baru hesitated whether to agree, Luo Zheng's timely consent came through the earpiece, giving Baru confidence. He solemnly declared, "I swear in the name of the tribe: if the Hidden Tribe accepts the conditions, releases the hostages, and provides five hundred camels, along with food and clean water for one thousand people for five days, our disputes will be settled. Can you release them now?"
Having Baru's pledge in hand, the middle-aged man was reassured, nodded in agreement, and said, "Take your people and leave the city now, wait outside, and we'll deliver the compensation shortly."
