Chapter 154: The Right to Trade the Undead
The kingdoms and forces near the Gobi were boiling, and everyone was extremely shocked!
In the depths of the Gobi is a magical city, filled with countless powerful and strange undead warriors, who are free-moving corpses and ghosts.
Each of them is infinitely powerful and tireless, with a strength that is not weaker than that of an intermediate knight, and even has a terrifying power that can kill a high-level knight in seconds!
They had defeated the 300,000 army of the Kingdom of Ruins, captured the Grand Duke and a high-ranking knight of the Kingdom, and forced the King to accept the negotiating demands.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"
"How did the City of the Dead come about, and what are they?"
"It's hard to say, will there be a second Snowy Night Castle on the Eske Continent?"
"The City of the Dead may not be as powerful as the Castle of Snowy Nights, but it does deserve close attention, and we need to understand what the Undead are?"
Close discussions and intelligence continued to spread across the continent of Esker, and the vast majority of people focused their attention on the territory of the Russen Kingdom.
After receiving a reply from the Kingdom of Xusen, Baron Edra decided to go to the royal capital as a lobbyist himself.
No one knows the Kingdom of Russen better than him.
As a sign of sincerity, Baron Edra took Leonard and Yardley on his way with the two captives.
Poor Leonard and Yardley had been in the dungeon for two months, guarded day and night, and they lived in fear every day.
This time, when he heard that he was going to return home, Leonard was so excited that he almost didn't cry, and he kept praying in his heart that His Majesty would agree to the request of the City of the Dead and redeem him safely.
With everything ready, Baron Edra set off.
He still didn't forget about the safety of his life, and directly took the big killer bone Aotian with him, and also brought an additional team of two hundred undead warriors to escort him.
Edra used the wizard's acceleration potion, and seven days later, the emissary team soon arrived in the royal capital of the Ruins.
It's not as exaggerated as the whole continent is paying attention to this matter, but at least one-third of the forces and people on the Iske continent are concerned about this matter and want to know the specific content and news of the negotiations.
It's all because of the new creatures, the undead.
This is the first time that the City of the Dead has appeared on the stage of the Iske continent, with a record of defeating the 300,000 troops of the Russen Kingdom as a backdrop.
Including the wizards in the distant Castle on a snowy night, the city of the dead is discussed every day.
"Undead?, did this creature appear on the continent of Esker?"
"If that's the case, Headmaster, can we catch some undead and come back for research?"
"I heard that Garcia went out on an adventure, and he said that he was going to find the secret stone vein, and the direction of his journey was the depths of the Great Gobi, and he wouldn't encounter the city of the dead, right?"
"City of the Dead?
The wizards in the Snowy Night Castle are ready to move, and they have a certain understanding of the undead with more knowledge of the higher planes, but it is precisely because of this understanding that they are more wary and curious about the undead.
An Baichen has also been paying attention to Edla's actions, Jiang Xiaofan is still choosing a suitable geographical location, and the Hundred Corpses Gate has not yet begun to rebuild.
An Baichen doesn't need to pay too much attention to the Zhenwu Continent these days, and naturally focuses on the Eske Continent.
Ann Baichen found that Baron Edra had been growing since he followed him.
At least for now, nothing went wrong, perhaps because of the strong force at the disposal of the City of the Dead, and the negotiations went well.
On the tenth day of the negotiations between Baron Edra and the Kingdom of the Dead, the Kingdom of the Tomb announced a peace treaty with the City of the Dead.
The treaty included the status of the City of the Dead and the Kingdom of the Ruin Forest as equal and independent continents, and the two sides would no longer start a war.
The City of the Dead unconditionally released Grand Duke Leonard and the high-ranking knight Yardli, and in return for the Kingdom of Ruins' recognition of the independence of the City of the Dead, the two territories of the Great Gobi and the City of Sand were ceded.
In return, the City of the Dead will open the undead trading market to the Kingdom of the Dead, and the Kingdom of the Dead can use the materials that the City of the Dead lacks, fantasy items, wizard potions, secret stone ores and other resources that the City of the Dead lacks to buy undead warriors.
At the same time, the two sides formed a military alliance whereby the other side had the obligation and responsibility to provide military assistance in the event that either side was admitted to the group by outsiders.
......
There are a lot of terms like that, very news.
After the news of the peace treaty signed between the Kingdom of Russen and the City of the Dead spread, the various forces on the Eske continent who were concerned about this matter were shocked.
"What is the origin of this city of the dead? It can make the Russen Kingdom bow its head?" Some people can't help but be surprised, although the Russen Kingdom is not the top country on the Eske Continent, it has strong economic strength and is quite influential on the Eske Continent.
Moreover, this King of Xusen has an extremely tough personality and has an iron hand in the way many things are handled, how can he give in so easily?
There are some countries and forces that smell something unusual in the content of this peace treaty.
In the so-called peaceful coexistence, military assistance is nothing more than a blank check, and even many details of the content of the contract can be ignored, and there are only two most important points in the whole contract.
First, the kingdom of Ruin recognized the status of the City of the Dead, and ceded two territories at the same time.
This means that the Kingdom of Xusen has made concessions and compromises to the City of the Dead, and the Kingdom of Xusen is not sure of defeating the City of the Dead, or it is afraid of the City of the Dead! Otherwise, with the temper of the King of Xusen, he will definitely not be able to agree to such a humiliating territorial cession condition.
Second, the Kingdom of Russen exchanged the right to explore and mine ore veins for the right to trade in the undead, which is a matter that deserves the close attention of everyone in the Esker Continent.
Letting an outsider roam freely in his own territory, casually searching for and mining the mineral veins in the territory, this is equivalent to giving up the entire country to someone else, why would the Kingdom of Xusen agree to such humiliating conditions?
"Don't forget, King Xusen is a politician, but he is also a businessman, he will not do loss-making business, it must be the City of the Dead that gives enough rare and precious goods!"
The strength of the City of the Dead is one reason, but everyone speculates that the reason is more because the City of the Dead promised to sell the undead to the Kingdom of the Ruins.
For such a long time, many forces and countries have been exploring the specific details of the Battle of Sand City, constantly learning about the undead, and most people have a preliminary understanding and understanding of the undead.
Many nations believe that although the Sand City has only a few thousand undead warriors, it has the power to wipe out the entire Ruin Forest Kingdom.
If you count the mysterious city of the dead, if you have tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of undead warriors, I am afraid that you can become the most terrifying and powerful force in the entire Eske continent in one fell swoop, even if it is Snow Night Castle, it is not an opponent.
It was precisely because of the strength and particularity of the undead that the Kingdom of Xusen made a seemingly humiliating decision.
"The magical city of the dead, what kind of secrets are hidden in it?, is there really an endless number of undead?" The wizards of Snowy Night Castle became even more curious about the city of the dead.
"Send an emissary to communicate with the City of the Dead, and it's best if we can buy some undead and bring them back to study. "This is the mind of most kings, they can't just watch the Ruin Forest Kingdom hold a power they don't understand.
"At least for now, the City of the Dead, although it has a lot of power, they have no intention of expanding their territory. ”
"Hmph, what a foolish idea, with great force in hand but not knowing how to obtain more resources. ”
"At least that's good news for us. ”
There are also many people who are sarcastic about the City of the Dead, they don't understand the approach of the City of the Dead, why do they have to negotiate with others when they can destroy the entire Ruin Forest Kingdom?
The wizards in Snowy Night Castle also had a heated discussion about the practices of the City of the Dead.
"Teacher, do you think the City of the Dead is doing the right thing?"
"The city lord of Edra is very smart, he knows that the appearance of the undead will attract the attention of the forces of the Eske continent, if the city of the dead is exposed to a powerful and invincible force, then the kings will definitely join forces to fight against the city of the dead in order to protect themselves. ”
"So he didn't choose to attack the Russen Kingdom, because he wasn't sure to fight against the kings of the entire Eske Continent?"
A young wizard laughed: "The strength of the City of the Dead is no more than that, far inferior to the Snowy Night Castle. ”
Snowy Night Castle is never afraid of any enemy, and on the continent of Esker, no one will be the opponent of Snowy Night Castle, and no one will dare to invade Snowy Night Castle.
"No, you underestimate the City of the Undead, if they really have more undead warriors, or even tens of thousands of undead warriors, with the combat power of the undead in the Sand City, they can completely conquer the entire Eske continent. ”
The elder wizard shook his head: "Even the Snowy Night Castle may not be the opponent of the City of the Dead. ”
"Then why didn't they conquer the Russen Kingdom by force?"
"That's what I'm curious about. ”
The older wizard smiled, "Snowy Night Castle should send someone to make contact with the City of the Dead, I prefer that the City of the Dead is the same as us, and does not like war." ”
"The undead are evil by nature, and they must be hatching a bigger conspiracy. ”
"You are too young, and the knowledge in books tells you what the world is like, but you still need to find and explore the real way of the world. If you haven't really seen the undead and know about the undead, don't call it evil lightly. Truth always comes from practice. ”
"Teacher, I was wrong. ”
......
As things continue to ferment, the major forces and kingdoms of the entire Eske continent know that their world has a new creature, the undead.
The appearance of the City of the Dead has amazed, wondered, or feared the world.
Some people are afraid of the undead, some are curious about the dead, and some are eager to master the powerful power of the undead.
There are a lot of complex ideas like this, and there are 1,000 people who have 1,000 different ideas.
After the city of the dead entered a period of calm after the negotiation with the Kingdom of Ruins, it did not make the next move, which made many countries and forces that paid attention to the city of the dead a little curious and itchy.
They sent their own emissaries to the Sand City to convey to the City of the Dead through Nigel that they wanted to contact and negotiate the purchase of the undead.
Yes, they all want to get the right to trade in the dead.
Even the countries that were dismissive of the undead sent emissaries because they needed to understand the significance of the peace pact signed by the Russen Kingdom, and they did not believe that the Russen Kingdom would make a humiliating and stupid decision.
"Lord Death, many countries have sent people over to purchase the undead!" Edra excitedly told An Baichen the news: "Lord Death, we can take the opportunity to open the undead trading market, and use the undead trading power to control and conquer the entire Eske continent!"
This is also Amberchen's main plan to conquer the continent of Esker, as long as the world understands the power of the undead and gives them a taste of the sweetness of using the undead, no one is willing to give up using the undead.
After all, your enemies are all using powerful undead spirits, would you refuse to trade with the city of the dead and watch your country be wiped out by the enemy?
As long as most of the countries and forces in the Esker continent have been trading with the city of the dead, waiting for the undead to replace the main military defense system and military strength of most countries and forces, then the city of the dead is equivalent to monopolizing the lifeblood of the entire Esque continent with the undead.
The advantage of this is to avoid the city of the undead falling into the quagmire of war, avoid dragging down the development of the world of the undead, and avoid a large amount of undead consumption when conquering the continent of Esque by force.
There is no need to conquer by force, and to surrender without a fight.
Even if smart people react in the end, it will be too late, the City of the Dead must have cultivated a large number of undead warriors with the resources of various countries at that time, and no one in the entire Eske Continent will be an opponent.
In the face of Edla's excited inquiry, An Baichen shook his head and refused: "Now is not the time, let these messengers go back, we don't sell the undead." ”
"Why!"
Baron Edra was stunned, a little incomprehensible.
This was clearly part of the plan, why did Lord Death suddenly change his mind?
An Baichen sighed and explained: "Edla, they just want to test the City of the Undead, they don't really need the undead, they don't really want to buy the undead, and we don't have the initiative to trade the undead with various countries now. ”
"We only need to trade with the Russen Kingdom for now, and when the Russen Kingdom truly shows the power of the undead, and makes other countries feel terrified, then it is time for us to open the undead trading market. ”
"At that time, the nations will be more eager to get the undead, and the undead city's undead trading power will be more precious, and more resources and benefits can be obtained from the nations. ”
Hearing An Baichen's explanation, Edra couldn't help but light up in his eyes: "Lord Death, I know what to do. ”
