Chapter 19 Meat at the negotiating table

On the fifth day of departure from the village, the two sides quickly held negotiations in a makeshift tent camp under the shield city. The treacherous and cunning old emperor has promised Doniva full power to negotiate and the national proclamation has arrived in the shield city. In order not to give Doniva the slightest initiative.

For Doniva, who received the news, he was also well aware of his father's "good intentions" when he entered his thirties. His father's move was bound to express the Empire's enthusiasm for peace talks to the new district. If Doniva had contacted it himself, it would naturally have been considered a move by local forces to win over the new district, but at this time, Garcia was the first to appoint Doniva as the plenipotentiary, and Doniva was commanded by his father as soon as he started.

Naturally, when the two sides negotiated, Doniva was bound to seize the initiative. Therefore, Doniva not only agreed to the additional bye-laws, but also reached a secret agreement with the new district in his own territory in the subsequent closed-door negotiations.

If Doniva does not show sufficient sincerity and even sacrifice some of its interests, the first contribution to the new district government will naturally fall short. The new district government can also understand the deep meaning of Doniva's desire to watch the throne from Doniva's request, and the small calculations of both sides of the royal family can get the outcome they want, but it is the new district side that benefits the most. The last shred of hope that the empire could preserve itself was dashed by internal strife.

As for the content of the secret covenant? Doniva paid for the city, aid, reclamation, and recruitment of workers in exchange for a verbal promise of protection of the territory in the new district, and promised that if the empire was overthrown in the future, Doniva would be the first head of state. This pie of righteousness is still very useful.

In the public peace documents, the empire and the new district promised to maintain their respective spheres of influence, and after the return of prisoners and compensation for the corresponding deaths, the two sides would remain at peace, and the new district would maintain freedom of trade and movement, but could not interfere in any political issues within the empire, such as succession.

As for the old emperor, he was also very satisfied with this treaty later. In his understanding, there is no possibility that the efficient magic of the new district can be taught to the local people, so he can still sit on the throne and does not want to merge with the backward imperial forces. From then on, internal and external troubles were left only external. As long as you can stabilize the basic market, you can invite the elite soldiers of the Double Moon Church to fight with the new area, and you will be able to make a profit. In his opinion, this move can be described as a good chess move for the general!

The most important thing to stabilize the basic situation is to stabilize order, and to stabilize order, it is necessary to quickly reach peace with the new area as soon as possible, that is, to meet the conditions for peace proposed by the new area. Therefore, the top priority is to quickly collect all the captives of the new district who are still alive, and even if they are dead, they must at least have some explanation. Because Elta, faced with the other side's aggressive prisoner treatment and survival situation, really did not dare to reveal the fact that most of the male prisoners had been killed. At present, the most important condition of the other side is not the reparation for the cession of land, but the civilian prisoners that ordinary people will not pay attention to, and they can only be vague on the one hand, and on the other hand, they can quickly concentrate the prisoners of war who can be concentrated.

But the situation is also extremely bleak. The scarred bus driver, the pus-covered fitness instructor in prison, the high school chemistry teacher who has been subjected to various experiments at the magic academy because he wears glasses, and the university student who is sheltered by the second princess but his girlfriend is missing, this is the only remaining male captive in the whole car.

They and the dazed female captives were suddenly flattered and put on silk clothes, and the imperial physicians were even called in to treat their wounds, not to maintain their health, but at least until the other party came to receive them. lest this fragile peace treaty be rolled up into waste paper in the wind.

The poor old man remembered his eldest son, but he forgot his pampered younger son. Baccarat? Siravia was already resentful of this treaty, and his newly acquired female captives had been taken away, knowing that this new slave under the age of twenty was even better than all his harems because of proper nutrition! Adding fuel to the fire, the little prince of Baccarat has already made a poisonous plan, and since the return of the captives has become the key to the establishment of the treaty, then he is bound to let such a conspiracy not succeed! Not just for the toys that were taken away, but also for the authority of the land that he can reign over in the future!

Coincidentally, the Bilunar Church is also looking for agents to continue the war. Lancas is naturally indifferent to the life and death of the empire, and if the country falls, the new regime will definitely choose to cooperate with Lancas and the Church when it touches the ceiling due to the pressure of survival. Compared to Elta's life or death, it was the rumors that I don't know how strong the army really was, which aroused the unanimous interest of the church's top brass. At a time when the high-ranking magicians, priests, priests, priests, and even the high-ranking gods of the world have not yet made a unanimous judgment on this matter, the sudden news that the old emperor of the empire and Doniva are vying for peace with the new district party has really become a stepping stone for Lancas to decide to intervene.

If the empire and the monster country behind the gate who don't know the right body really start to trade, the cheap and efficient magic products from behind the door will completely wash away the market hegemony of Lancas, if the opponent's force is really as strong as the legend, no, in fact, as long as the strength is equal, it is impossible for the Church of the Two Moons to hold the hegemony of this world.

The aftermath of the Red Dragon Revolt 200 years ago has not been eliminated to this day, and there are still people who use the name of the Red Dragon to get rid of the infiltration of the church into the world. For the Bi-Moon Church and even for Lancas, there was never a fair exchange, from farmers to artisans to merchants. The prosperity of the Lancas Islands, the large-scale research of magic, and the system of clerics at any cost are all the result of the accumulation of these countless flesh and blood. Guaranteeing all this was the overwhelming force of the Bilunar Church and Lancas.

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take the initiative to attack, even if the other party has the power of God to support them, they also have at least equal hole cards. The first option to consider was to send the priest back to the place where he was to close the door.

This plan has received strong support from the prince who has already rebelled in the back of his head, and to transfer this priest into the captive team, it will not only require the illusionary magic of the chief magician, but also the ghosts of the empire to facilitate it.

The little prince also has his own little abacus. Wouldn't it be a great deal to use the priest to transfer his little slaves and trap this group of iron armies in this world in isolation?
