Chapter 66: Four-Power Talks 2 Exchanges under the Table

When the daytime talks ended inconclusively and the people of the four countries returned to their respective urban areas, it did not mean that the activities of the four countries ceased. On www.biquge.info the contrary, each country has sent people to the garrisons of other countries, bringing with them conditions that would not be put forward on the table.

The conditions under these tables are the main force driving the process of the conference.

For example, Toristin's condition for Goria, a 30-year lease of southern Torristin, to provide Goria with enough food for an army of 100,000 to eat for a month. In exchange for Goria's strong support and contribution to the [Fire Elves] issue.

Asya, who was aggressive at the conference, made a condition that Goria return the occupied royal capital, not all northern territories. In exchange, Albion will commit 20,000 troops to Goria to help resist the Fire Elves heading north.

Alice, who rarely spoke at the meeting, also proposed that Goria return the royal capital, and that the territory did not need all of the south, as long as half of the southwestern part of the land was returned first. In exchange, Kermania would commit 30,000 troops to Goria.

The three nations of Torristin, Kermania, and Albion exchanged secret covenants to resist and maintain the integrity of their existing territories in the event of an invasion of any of them by Goria. The repossession of land already occupied by Goria was not covered by the Covenant.

Ann Rietta, Asya, and Alice have no objection to this. The covenant between countries is linked by strength and interests, and in today's situation, one strong and three weak, if the three countries do not unite, they are likely to be swallowed up by Goria one by one. And if there is a great change in the power of the nations, the binding force of the covenant is like waste paper.

Although Goria took a tough stance at the daytime meeting, he did not give up a single piece of land. But in the face of the threat of the [Fire Elf] [Earth Elf], Joseph chose to compromise. But he did not intend to return the original lands of the countries, but to divide the lands of southern Goria among the three countries as bargaining chips. To the southwestern corner of Albiongoria, to the central part of the southern part of Toristíngolia, to a large strip of territory from the eastern part of the former southern Kermania down to the southeastern part of Golia.

The area of land given by Joseph was very large, which made Torlistine, Albiang, and Kermania all moved. I don't know the news that the [Earth Elf] is about to awaken, and the three countries still believe that there is only a threat from the [Fire Elf], and as long as the [Fire Elf] is defeated, these lands can be inhabited and developed.

After four or five porters back and forth, Goria persuaded Albion and Kermania on the condition that they would attach the royal capital and the lands to the south.

The former, as a floating island country, has always longed to have a piece of land on the mainland, and at first House and other families would be encouraged by Joseph to attack Toristine for this reason, and as a floating country, they use floating ships to travel between the mainland and the floating island, and there is no concern that the territory is not adjacent.

The latter lost a lot of land a year ago, but the population is still more than 2 million, and it is difficult to support it with the land in the north. Now Goria gave such a big pie, Alice, who didn't know the inside story, was fooled.

And Toristin still didn't say yes. In the southern part of Goria, although the central area of the country is large, but it does not border the Torlistine, should it be established as an enclave in that area? So Anrietta and Joseph bargained for the land adjacent to Torlistine.

Joseph set a trap to assign to Torristeen the western part of the non-Gorian lands that were now actually occupied in southern Kermania. If Toristin accepts, then there will be a territorial dispute between Toristin and Kermania, and there will be cracks in the alliance of the three countries.

At that time, Haotian was unconscious, and An Lieta was bent on facilitating peace talks, but she actually agreed to it. After An Lieta also nodded, Goria and the three countries all agreed, for the land occupied by Goria one year ago, each country acquiesced to Goria's occupation, and Goria also divided the actual occupied land and the southern land to the three countries in exchange for military assistance from the three countries.

This kind of cake-cutting division of land was not known to the people, but the leaders of the countries did it, and then the problem was quickly resolved.

At the second day's meeting, the leaders of the countries withdrew from the negotiators, leaving only four people. Ann Rietta, Joseph, Willus, and Alice signed the documents agreed upon last night, in quadruplicate, and kept by each of the four countries. Which country violates the Entente, the other three countries have the right to jointly attack the violating country.

Having negotiated the divided land and the number of troops to be assisted, today's meeting concludes. Not only did they discuss a joint response to the threat of the [Fire Elves], but they also did not settle the legacy of the Great War a year ago.

After signing the treaty, Anrietta held an open-air banquet in the city, which was attended by soldiers and high-ranking officials from the four countries who came to the city. This is a celebration of the signing of the Treaty and the hope of harmonizing relations between the four countries.

Anrietta felt a heartfelt joy that with her efforts she had avoided a civil war for humanity. Although the [Fire Spirit] is so terrifying in Haotian's mouth, Anrietta believes that as long as the four countries are united, they can be defeated. Didn't the 6,000-year-old ancestor also defeat the [Fire Elf], and the ancestor and the king will protect me.

The carnival that night had nothing to do with the unconscious Haotian.

On the morning of the third day, when the people from various countries returned to their countries, Tabasha came to see Haotian for the last time. With a gentle kiss on the forehead of the unconscious Haotian, he left here and returned to Goria with Joseph.

At the end of the song, the city was built because of the four-nation talks, and the buildings were empty a day later. The personnel of the four countries returned to their respective royal capitals and administrative centers, and soon began to implement the contents of the treaty.

Goria withdrew the people and soldiers from the land, and the other three countries moved over and sent soldiers to maintain law and order. Then it is to send troops to the southeast of Goria to prepare for the northward movement of the Fire Elves.

Haotian woke up on the evening of the third day of his coma, when the treaty had already been signed. Haotian failed to express his opinion, and Toristine was determined by Anrietta's future direction. This made Haotian a little angry, but the matter had passed, and the occupation of the Albion Floating Island he proposed was no longer desirable, and he could only continue to operate from the current situation.

After Haotian woke up, Anrietta once again handed over the dominance of Torristeen to Haotian. Haotian proposes that Toristin send 50,000 soldiers to the war, while Goria, on the other hand, wants to hand over the command of the coalition forces to Toristin.

Naturally, Goria disagreed, and Joseph was preparing to mobilize 100,000 troops, while the other three countries combined were only 100,000. Naturally, he was reluctant to hand over command.

Haotian assured him that the battle losses of Toristine and Goria would not differ by 10%, and if they exceeded, he would hand over the command to Goria. This allowed Joseph to agree to hand over the command of the coalition forces.

After receiving the command of the coalition army, Haotian left the royal capital of Toristine, and led the 25,000 Variel Legion and Gramont Legion to the south, and after crossing the border of Goria, he arrived at the battle line southeast of Goria.

After a month, 20,000 soldiers led by Albion Willus, 30,000 soldiers led by Kelmania Alice, and 100,000 soldiers led by Goria Sheffield converged on the front against the [Fire Elves] in the southeast of Goria. At this moment, 200,000 troops from 4 countries of the human race have gathered here to fight against the [Fire Spirit] incarnated by the natural disaster.

And Haotian is the commander of this 200,000 army. He couldn't wait to implement his idea.
