Chapter XXVII
Just when Ernn was in a panic because of the zombie crisis in the south, the first thing the northern countries thought of was not to form a human united front with the Ernne Empire and jointly fight against the zombie army, but to think about how to weaken the strength of the Ernne Empire in every possible way.
Even some countries are already planning how to divide up Erne's territory, although the northern countries know the horror of zombies, but driven by huge interests, the zombie army seems so insignificant.
The royal capital of the Taron Empire
In the council chamber of the Royal Palace of the Taron Empire, an unprecedented meeting was going on quietly.
Before this meeting began, no one could have imagined that the northern countries, which had been intrigued, would one day be able to sit together calmly and discuss things.
"I think you all already know, not long ago, the 200,000 troops in the southern theater of the Erne Empire were basically wiped out by the zombie army, and now Erne is in chaos. ”
The generalissimo of the Talon Empire, Slok, glanced at the envoys from the other five countries and said lightly.
"Of course, otherwise we wouldn't be here to listen to your nonsense. ", General Curry of the Borren Empire said mockingly.
Tarun and Borren are neighbors, and military conflicts often break out between the two countries, and if it weren't for the threat of the growing Orne Empire, the two countries would probably still be at war, so General Curry's words were full of gunpowder.
"I have summoned you here today in the hope that our five countries can form a military alliance and jointly send troops to conquer the Ernne Empire, after all, none of our countries is an opponent of the Ernne Empire. ”
As if he had expected General Curry to be like this, Srock ignored his words and continued.
"Let's get straight to the point, I'm more concerned about the distribution of benefits after sending troops than whether or not I'm an alliance. ", said Prime Minister Green of the Falkland Empire with a smile.
"Of course, if nothing else, this is arguably the most vulnerable moment for the Ernne Empire in the last fifty years.
If we send troops together to fight against Erne, we can at least force Erne to give in and regain the territory that Orne has occupied over the years, and at the same time further curb Erne's strength and ensure the security of our territory in the future.
If all of you here had more ambitions, we could even annex Eun in one fell swoop, and then we had to discuss how to divide up Eun's land. ”
Srock's impassioned speech clearly piqued the interest of the delegates from all the countries present.
"But I've heard that both Sadar and Ernne have been beaten by a kind of devil from hell, and if we defeat Ernne, you won't mean we're going to face these evil devils. ", Marshal Awani of the Livia Empire asked worriedly.
"I can tell you for sure that we will not encounter these evil devils.
Because Erne's General Elier has successfully kept the zombies out of Stanger, I don't think anyone will doubt his solidity in the city-state known as Erne's Trench.
In addition, the devil this time, that is, the zombies recorded in "Ragnarok", according to our understanding, they are an evil creature created by the gods, and even the gods themselves are afraid of this creature.
According to the account in the Doomsday Chapter, the gods themselves were finally destroyed by the zombies.
At the end of Ragnarok, the gods used their wisdom and strength to open Pandora's box, and the devil who jumped out of the box eventually destroyed all the gods.
This time, for unknown reasons, Pandora's box was opened again, and the devil was released. The zombies first appeared in the Great Forest of Grimm, and then swept through the entire southern part of Sada at great speed.
It was this opportunity that Erne destroyed Sada in one fell swoop, but was forced to retreat to the city-state of Stanger step by step by the zombie legions that followed, and even the entire southern legion was wiped out. ”
Srock explains in detail the current state of the Ernne Empire and the origin of the zombies.
Obviously, Marshal Slocke's detailed explanations succeeded in dispelling the last scruples of the delegates. From the way they were smiling, Srock knew that they were tempted.
"I think I need to seek the advice of my King before making a final decision. ", said Fred, the general of the Nurta Empire, who had not spoken.
Seeing this, the representatives of the other countries expressed their desire to ask for the opinion of the king of their own country, and the meeting was almost over.
Srock knew that their king had no reason to refuse the alliance. Because if you don't take this opportunity to suppress Erne's strength in one fell swoop, it will only be a matter of time before Erne unifies the Miracle Continent.
In fact, all the delegates here are aware of this fact, and now this group of old foxes are putting on such a posture just to obtain greater benefits in the next negotiations.
This is a political tactic commonly used by politicians, and it is just a political game. Srock knew that as long as the pie he drew behind him was big enough, it was only a matter of time before the group took the bait.
Yes, the Taron Empire has great ambitions, and their drive this time is not only to defeat the Ernn Empire in one fell swoop, but also to weaken the strength of the other four kingdoms at the same time.
In this way, the Talon Empire can take the opportunity to sweep through the northern countries and the Erne Empire in the center in one fell swoop, and then the weak Sada and Norlan Empires in the south will naturally be in the bag.
From this point of view, it can also explain why the Tarun Empire is so active in promoting the five-nation alliance this time, after all, this abacus has been played so loudly, how can it be done if it is not implemented?
Sure enough, to Slok's surprise, within a few days, the countries conveyed their intentions to the Taron Empire that they were willing to conclude an alliance.
So within a few days, Srock convened another meeting. At this meeting, the delegates did not think much about concluding the alliance, and basically signed it symbolically.
On the issue of the distribution of interests, the representatives of various countries held more than a dozen meetings of various sizes in three days, and the debate over this was endless, and the scene got out of control several times. It was only after dozens of additional articles had been added that the representatives of the parties reluctantly agreed.
It was only by this time that the Five-Nation Alliance was formally formed.
The covenant stipulated that the five nations temporarily form a military alliance to jointly fight against the unjust Orne. This time, each country sent 200,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on Erne on their own border with Erne.
The ownership of the land occupied by each country is determined by the States, and the rest of the States are not allowed to interfere without permission. If Erne gathers superior forces to attack a country, the remaining Allied states are obliged to provide military assistance.
The agreement seems fair, and the countries did pay the same price for the war. But we must understand that there are also differences between the strong and weak countries of the north, and the impact on each country is different when paying the same price.
And this is precisely the wishful thinking of the Taron Empire, as the most powerful country among the northern states, Talon can withstand this kind of attrition. The rest of the countries understand this, but this agreement is really the fairest for them, and they have no choice.
The most powerful thing in the world may be such a scheme, of course, the most fundamental thing is that a weak country has no diplomacy and can only passively accept it.
