After negotiations with the Principality Alliance, the Kingdom of Kapani, under the concerted pressure of its ally, the Gultoka Empire, had to agree to terms that went far beyond its bottom line.

Because they knew very well that if they did not agree, several detachments of the Gultoka Empire's North Sea Fleet cruising on the ocean would not mind covering the marines and rushing into the ports of the Principality Alliance to launch a new attack.

The situation is weaker than people, and the Principality Alliance has to sacrifice several small countries to protect the interests of other countries.

The three principalities of Srniz, Ingres, and Adiron were fully incorporated into the kingdom of Capani.

The Principality League paid 3,500 tons of gold, a total of about 350 million gold coins, or the equivalent of valuable items, to the Kingdom of Capani for the cost of reconstruction.

These two terms were decided between the Kingdom of Capani and the Gultoka Empire.

Although Druka and the others also want to impose corresponding military sanctions on the Principality Alliance, but the Gultoka Empire's suggestion is also reasonable, rather than leaving a weak Principality Alliance, it is better to let it retain most of its vitality, and after teaching the other party a profound and unforgettable lesson, it will serve as a barrier against the Glenshire Empire in the east of the Capani Kingdom.

Although they were also worried that the other party would completely move closer to the Glenshire Empire, they also knew that if this incident really happened, neither of them could do anything about it. So after thinking twice, they decided on the terms of waiver of military sanctions.

So, the above is all the additional clauses of the armistice agreement that have been published.

The overall economic strength of the Principality Alliance is completely above that of the Kingdom of Capani, so 3,500 tons of gold is still a bit of a hemorrhage for them, but in less than five years, they can also gather the same wealth.

However, most of the principalities within the alliance that did not lose territory were in favor of the cession of the three minor principalities, although the kings of those three countries strongly objected, and proposed to move closer to the Glenschal Empire and obtain support to continue the war.

It's just that even if they are completely tied to the Grunshire Empire, it is impossible to face the Kapani Kingdom that has torn down the courtyard walls and had in-depth and friendly exchanges with their neighbors, and most of the principality monarchs did not agree to the proposal of the three little dukes, if they really continue to fight, it will be more than the three small principalities whose interests will be damaged.

So, under a conspiracy, the monarchs of the three minor principalities were placed under house arrest, and then a large number of principalities' allied reserve forces quickly took control of the three principalities, and after disarming the garrisons of the three minor principalities, they informed the opposite king of Capani [***] that he could take over the territory.

Perhaps it was because the monarchs of the three minor principalities were well connected, or perhaps because the principality alliance was unwilling to bear other stigma, and when the dust settled, the monarchs of the three minor principalities, after receiving a little money, were expelled from the principality alliance along with their relatives who had been transferred to house arrest.

This move also planted a hidden danger with profound implications......

And this is also known as the fuse of the continental war......

……………………………………………… Dividing Line................................................

The rainy season in the Kapani Kingdom has stopped for three to four days, and under the repeated hints of the Gultoka Empire, Zhang Shixin also knows that he must visit the Gultoka Empire according to the agreement.

Merely......

On the morning of the confirmed departure. Getting up from the bed in a daze, Zhang Shixin shook his slightly swollen head, stretched his body that seemed to be very tired, looked at the room where he had lived for several weeks, and looked at the windowsill......

Suddenly, he saw DePerry sleeping next to him, and there seemed to be these tear stains on his face......

"Why......" Zhang Shixin is not a fool, and he is also not an inexperienced person, of course he knows what is going on......

But the problem is that in Zhang Shixin's impression, he doesn't seem to remember meeting De Perry......

He was obviously invited by Druca to go to his house for a drink......

"Should it be ......" Zhang Shixin was embarrassed, the prime minister who sold his monarch was still sold in this way, he was still unheard of, but it happened that he met one last night.

At the same time, in Drucka's mansion, Druca looked at the Dural brothers and sisters in front of him, and then made a hint to Durrell.

Immediately, both of them had smiles on their faces that made Alice shudder.

……

Zhao Feilin and Liu Hu, two strong men, were communicating something in the corridor, and then their eyes looked at Zhang Shixin's room from time to time, and their faces were very strange......

And at their feet lay two half-large black backs that were constantly fiddling with the rope tied to their mouths with their front paws. (Although this is unlikely to suffocate the dog in reality, it may heat the dog to death if the weather is hot.) ）

"Don't we need to wake up the second young master? After all, it's almost time to leave. Liu Hu glanced at his watch, and then said to Zhao Feilin.

"Let's make an excuse then, it's inconvenient for you and me to interfere in this kind of thing. Don't forget that we're just the captain of the Second Young Master's personal soldiers now. Zhao Feilin said very calmly,

"But...... Miss Vina is not ......" Liu Hu touched his bald head and said.

"Remember, don't let the second young master know about this matter." Zhao Feilin couldn't help but remember that he was going to come over some time ago, but when he saw the two of them and the two struggling half-big black backs on the ground, he turned around and left.

Liu Hu touched his bald head again, and after thinking for a while, he stopped talking......

The two of them continued to stand silently in this hallway.

……

Zhang Shixin got out of bed gently, but he didn't know that De Perry had actually woken up for a long time.

As he got out of bed, he heard a soft voice: "You...... Going? ”

"Hmm...... Yes, I was very ...... last night" Zhang Shixin hesitated for a while, but still said an apology for not being nutritious.

"There's no need to apologize to me, except that the process isn't very good, you know, I like you, so I want you to do the same to me......" De Perry's voice became smaller and smaller, and she saw Zhang Shixin's somewhat unnatural look, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"That's why I'm apologizing...... After all...... Well, I won't talk about it. Looking at De Perry, who rolled her eyes violently, Zhang Shixin had to close her mouth.

Then, he walked up to De Perry, leaned down, and kissed the girl's lips gently......

……

When Zhang Shixin, who was fully dressed, glanced at De Perry, who was still loading ostriches in the bed, and then walked out of the room as if nothing happened, he saw two black-backed and tearful trotters coming over, whining at his feet, and couldn't help caressing the corners of his forehead......

Ten minutes later, under the protection of Liu Hu, Zhao Feilin and the two summoners, Zhang Shixin quickly came to the temporary residence of his Elven Dragon Security Company.

However, after the three girls who had arrived saw Zhang Shixin, they all blushed slightly and did not look at Zhang Shixin.

"Sure enough......" Zhang Shixin had already had such an estimate, of course, if something like this happened, it would not be a good thing for him.

Then, he also saw the ambiguous gaze of his own subordinates......

"......" Zhang Shixin was completely speechless.

"Let's go." Zhang Shixin had to pretend not to see the expressions of these people, and then gave the order for the team to set off.

……

This time, Zhang Shixin took half of the troops to the Gultoka Empire, and the other half was led by Firay and Leni, mainly mercenary troops from Herrington, to the land transferred to Gultoka to carry out the capital construction of the camp.

Due to the lack of "transportation capacity", Zhang Shixin had to ask Firay's troops to lease King Capani[***]'s armored vehicles and trucks as means of transportation to go to their destination.

In fact, if Zhang Shixin didn't give money, Durrell, the quartermaster, would not say anything, but some things still don't need to be too obvious...... At least that's what Zhang Shixin thinks.

And Zhang Shixin's troops went directly to the Gultoka Empire through the newly built arterial road to the west.

…………………………………………………… Dividing line ..........................................

"Hasn't the other party taken action yet?" In the Hilton Palace, Heather II, the Emperor of the Hilton Empire, glanced at his military minister and said dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the Glenshire Empire does not want to start a war when winter is approaching, and the people they sent to communicate have expressed that it will be easy to take the Duchy Alliance before winter, but even if we cooperate and want to solve the Kapani Kingdom before winter, it will be impossible." The Minister of War reluctantly expressed his opinion.

"Humph! If you don't act as soon as possible, do you have to wait for the other party to recover before launching an attack? I also know that it is undoubtedly a matter of time to deal with a quasi-first-class power like Capani before winter, but apart from this opportunity, the chances of us attacking the Kingdom of Capani and directly threatening the Gultoka Empire will become more and more slim. Also, how was the preparation for that event? Wiesel II said lightly.

"Your Majesty, the other party hopes that we can give him the best protection, after all, the Gultoka Empire also has its own powerful secret power. Are we acceding to each other's requests? The War Minister whispered to Wiesel II.

Wiesel II thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "It is enough to verbally agree to the other party's request." Don't let the other side take advantage of the opportunity that we might be able to get the truth out of this regard. Also, how sure is the other side that they will be able to get the weapons that capture the other side? ”

He said that if he took this unit in two hours, he was sure that he would be able to capture the tank, which seemed to be indestructible, powerful, and capable of maneuvering. However, Your Majesty, it is only a verbal agreement, and it is unrealistic to expect the other party to enter into a trap like this. After all, the other party is not only a nobleman of the Gultoka Empire, but also a local magistrate, and it is not too much to openly do this kind of thing to attack the dignitaries of the empire and the royal princess, which is enough for his family to be killed dozens of times by the angry Emperor Gultoka. Therefore......" The Minister of War looked at his monarch with a little embarrassment, and found that the other party's request was really difficult for people to accept and complete.

"So, I don't have a problem? If you rice buckets could give me a promise to block the Gultoka Empire's all-out attack for half a year without falling behind, I would have swallowed the Kapani Kingdom for myself. Do you still need to use this kind of indiscriminate tricks? Wiesel II looked at his military minister angrily and complained loudly.

"This ...... Well, Your Majesty, I'll try to discuss it with the people below. "The Minister of War wants his own monarch to run. He didn't want the horses to eat too much, but he had to say something he would do his best to accomplish it.

……

Cole Grice is the Governor of the Eastern Church region of the Gultoka Empire, former Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eastern Cluster of the Empire, and Count of the Empire.

He was pleased with his name itself, especially the title of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Empire's Eastern Cluster, which allowed him to have a place in the military.

It's just that this situation changed quickly because of the appearance of a young man and after becoming the lover of Her Royal Highness Princess Hailey.

The young man's transformation into a semi-direct member of the imperial family and the youngest duke in the empire only made him feel jealous.

However, when the Empire reached a defensive alliance with the Kingdom of Kapani, his most important military position was demoted from Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Empire's Eastern Cluster to Commander of the Kihid Regional Garrison.

Except for a small number of troops from the former Eastern Cluster, who remain in the Kihid region as part of the garrison. Most of the other forces were quickly dismantled and redeployed to other regular army units.

This was due to the establishment of a sense of mutual trust between the Gultoka Empire and the Kapani Kingdom, and similarly, in addition to the 20,000 troops of King Kapani[***] who needed to maintain strategic points, the mountain clusters of the Kapani Kingdom were also dismantled and reassigned to other forces.

The Gultoka Empire did not take this matter to heart as the other side still had more troops than the semi-regular army of Kihid, and again, the two sides tacitly agreed on this issue.

However, the actions of the two countries have deprived Cole Grice of his right to speak in the military.

Although he still holds the title of commander of the garrison, no one will take to heart the outdated command of a semi-regular army.

And more importantly, the dissolution of the Eastern Cluster has greatly affected the vast majority of the interests of the Grice family, which focuses on this aspect.

Because of the profits from military purchases, Grice, who originally belonged to a third-rate family in the empire, developed into a second-rate and upper-middle family in just a few years.

Although there are also factors for that position, it is more about the huge profits that the military receives from purchasing products from the Grice family's industries.

Therefore, in a sense, Zhang Shixin, who is about to cross the border between the two countries, is the biggest enemy of the entire Grice family.

Cole Grice was not a fool, he knew very well that the Empire's punishment for assaulting a registered duke, let alone assaulting a royal princess, even one of them would be enough to remove his family from the list forever.

Under these circumstances, the high-ranking members of the Grice family, who were determined to take revenge, decided to move closer to the nearest Hilton Empire, which was able to protect them.

It's just that the other party has never wanted to put forward a paper agreement, so they feel that the other party really doesn't care about their life and death at all.

Without the Hilton Empire's asylum declaration, the high-ranking members of the Grice family were also divided, and the vast majority of the members were not very in favor of the action.

Cole Grice was also in a dilemma, he didn't know if the Hilton Empire would kick him away if he really did what the other party wanted.

However, after a piece of news reached his ears, he decided to take a solo gamble......

His only son, who was also helpless, actually molested Princess Hayley and her friends on the street, and tried to forcibly take them away, but was shot on the spot by a troop......

"Let's do it, in this case, we will die if we do it, and if we don't do it, we will die." In the emergency meeting that followed, Cole Grice made a desperate decision.

ps: There is a change in the evening, now try to compress the number of words. But it's still more than four thousand words...... Looks like I'm having a hard time doing a 2k3k party anymore.
