It's over.

The war between the Soma League and the Kingdom of Sika is over.

The date of the declaration of war was July 11, and the date of the formal armistice and the signing of the treaty was October 26, exactly three and a half months before and after.

In the past three and a half months, the situation on the entire continent has been turned upside down, and the Soma Alliance, the Truth Society, and the Sika Kingdom have all undergone tremendous changes.

The first is the Soma Alliance - after preparing for so long and paying a heavy price, with Richard's help, the Soma Alliance has finally accomplished its true goal of waging war and eliminated the Truth Society.

And the Society of Truth has been wiped out, and the Alliance has no reason to continue the war. After all, many people in the alliance see the danger of continuing, that is, after destroying the Truth Society, they will attack the Sika Kingdom in an all-out way, and even if they really fully annex the Sika Kingdom, they will be burdened with a heavy burden and fall into the crisis of division all the time.

Instead of this, it would be easier to stop in time, digest the dividends obtained in this war, digest and deal with the internal contradictions, and then try to swallow the entire Sika Kingdom.

Then there is the Truth Society - the Truth Society can be regarded as a complete loser in this war, the headquarters is gone, the top administrator is banished to the endless sky, most of the remaining members are killed, some hardliners want to resist, but they are soon taught to be human by Richard and the four Knights in Demon Clothes, and in the end even the soul is shattered - counting, the Truth Society has lost the qualification to speak, and from now on, it is unknown whether this name can be remembered.

Then there is the Kingdom of Sika - the Kingdom of Sika can be regarded as the inferior side, and the loss of half of the country's territory is proof of this. However, the Kingdom of Sika did not lose all its capital, and there is still a chance to turn the tables. In particular, after the high-level leaders of the Sika Kingdom decided to abandon the Truth Society and resist alone, there was an unprecedented internal unity.

At this time, the battle between the Alliance and the Truth Society happened to have a result, and although the Truth Society was destroyed, the Alliance also lost almost a complete elite alliance. The kingdom of Sika did not hesitate and took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, wanting to regain the lost glory.

But the imagination is very full, but the reality is very cruel. As soon as the Kingdom of Sika was ready to launch an offensive, the remaining three legions of the Alliance appeared in the hinterland of Sika like ghosts, and then launched a series of breathtaking attacks, crushing the army of the Kingdom of Sika as if showing off their skills, and at the same time crushing all the self-confidence of the Kingdom of Sika.

This battle was commanded by Sauron personally leading the entire command room - after eliminating the real goal of the Truth Society, the war finally no longer needs to hide and hide, and can be done with all its might - after Sauron got the information in advance, he let the three coalition regiments quickly maneuver, and burst out with extreme combat effectiveness under his command, showing the alliance army and his terror, so that everyone understands how the title "God of War" came from.

After this battle, the Sika side was completely frightened, and after several small battles and tens of thousands of lives, it was completely aware of the reality. Within a few days, within the Sika Kingdom, the peace talks faction overwhelmed the hardliners, sent the highest-ranking envoys, and began the peace talks process.

Finally, on October 26, the two sides signed a treaty in the castle of Kasha, agreeing to end the war and welcome peace.

There are many contents of the contract, including the release of their respective prisoners, the withdrawal of troops in order, the destruction of forts and outposts built in the war, the compensation of military expenses, the mortgage of mines, and so on.

And the most important of these is the latest division of territory.

In the final moments of the war, the Kingdom of Sika lost almost two-thirds of its territory, and only one-third remained. And in this regard, the Soma alliance showed generosity, not demanding full occupation, but returning half of it - that is, through the contract, the territory of the kingdom of Sika was restored to two-thirds of its pre-war level, and the alliance demanded only one-third.

In fact, the Soma alliance is not pure generosity, and the reason why it took the initiative to give up nearly half of the occupied territory is due to many considerations.

First of all, they want to exchange territorial concessions for the rest of the benefits.

Secondly, it is felt that the annexation of such a large territory is not a small burden, and it is better to take the initiative to reduce some of it - after all, it is the best to be suitable. Therefore, many areas with no war value, such as the undefended flat land, the wilderness of the flat river, and the uninhabited Gobi Desert, were returned to Sika, leaving only strategic points and transportation hubs that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and coherent everywhere, which can be said to be cheap.

After taking advantage of the situation, the alliance did not stop there, and quickly divided the occupied area into dozens of special garrison areas, large and small, with different numbers of troops stationed to maintain law and order.

Rumor has it that the alliance is going to divide some of these dozens of special garrisons in the form of fiefs to those who have made meritorious contributions to the war, some to support the Sika goodwill regime, and the last part to be directly administered.

This is in consideration of the fact that this war has consumed a lot of national strength, and to save resource consumption to the greatest extent, and to wait until the national strength is fully restored, and then digest the occupied areas step by step.

Richard didn't care too much about this, after all, he had never been very interested in political matters, and he thought more: since the war is over, then what the Alliance Emperor promised him should be fulfilled, right?

The rest of the materials in the Royal Library, he was looking forward to it.

In anticipation, Richard followed a delegation of high-ranking officers from the Alliance army and set out on his way back to Char from the border.

Speaking of which, the so-called high-ranking officer delegation is the people who contributed to the war and are ready to participate in the celebration in the palace - except for a few people who stayed in the reef fort and beware of a sudden change in the Sika Kingdom, most of the high-ranking military members are in the delegation.

Because of this, the reception received by the delegation along the way was extremely high, and every time they passed through the city, even if they did not enter the city, they just passed through, there was a grand welcome ceremony.

Moreover, it has been determined that when the delegation arrives in Char, an unprecedented grand entrance ceremony will be held, and in addition to the alliance emperor will not show up, many court ministers and princes will attend.

Why do it?

Because this is the glory that war heroes deserve.

After hearing the news, Richard decisively left the delegation, took the first step, and secretly arrived at Char a day earlier - he really didn't want to waste time on this meaningless ceremony.

Thus, on the afternoon of November 5, while the delegation was still on its way to Char, Richard entered Char's city gates.

Thinking of the last time I was here, almost four months ago, Richard sighed slightly.

Stepping on the road, Richard walked all the way towards the center of Char City, looking at the descriptions of the surrounding traffic, looking at the shops on both sides of the street, raising his eyebrows, and finding that in the past four months, a lot of changes have taken place here.
