"Truce? And with whom? ”

The tower, who reacted immediately, asked solemnly.

"and the United Kingdom of Malte, and two other great powers that will most likely join in the future."

Dio's answer was a bit beyond Ta's expectations.

"This ......"

The somewhat confused tower subconsciously frowned: "We don't seem to be directly at war with you humans, do we?" ”

Although the Elemental Legion sent by Dio and Aisha and Karen participated in the Battle of the Cast Iron Castle, they were actually only supporting the Cast Iron Castle in the name of mercenaries. So theoretically, the United Kingdom of Malt did not officially start a war with the demons of the underworld.

This is as if during the period of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, our army and the US army fought fiercely on that small peninsula, but we never entered a state of war with US imperialism.

In addition, before this, there were indeed demon forces that attacked the Mantes Empire, but the official definition of this is a small-scale conflict, so the Mantes Empire did not officially start a war with the demons.

Politics has always been so dirty.

Because the demons have not yet started a war with the United Kingdom of Malt, Ta is a little confused about the significance of this truce agreement proposed by Dio.

"This armistice is really just an alternative covenant."

Dio, who sat up straight, said very seriously: "After this, we, the United Kingdom of Malt, will send official diplomats to visit your demons, and if the two sides can reach an agreement, we will officially start to assist the demons after the armistice agreement is signed." ”

"Aid the Demon Realm? What are you kidding! ”

Hearing Dio say this, Ta suddenly frowned. Because in his opinion, it is simply an impossible task.

You see, the warlike demons and the cunning devils have offended the rest of the worlds for countless years. In addition to the Heavenly Realm, which has become a mortal enemy, the relationship between the Demon Realm and the Machine Realm, the Elemental Realm, the Phantom Beast Realm, and even the Underworld is very bad, and it can be called the enemy of the whole world.

In this case, Dio actually said that he would help the Demon Realm?

Taco really couldn't imagine how much pressure the other big powers would put on the United Kingdom of Malte if they found out about this. At the very least, Ta felt that Dio was not a person who could withstand this kind of pressure, even if he was a demigod-level powerhouse.

"Politics isn't as simple as you think......"

Looking at the tower with a look of disbelief, Dio shook his head very calmly. In Dio's opinion, as long as the danger of those void creatures can be determined, and other forces don't mention it, the four archdukes of the United Kingdom of Malte will definitely agree to help the demon world.

Because it's better to keep the war against the Void creatures on the territory of the Demon Realm than to let this war take place on the territory of the United Kingdom of Malt.

In the case of the former, no matter how much loss is made, it is only a small loss of human and material resources. However, if the Void Invasion took place on the territory of the United Kingdom of Malte, then even if the United Kingdom of Malte was able to destroy those invading Void creatures, the various damages caused in the battle and the various adverse effects that followed would be enough to make the four Grand Dukes feel heartache.

To be able to become the ruler of the United Kingdom of Malte, there will be no stupid people among the four Grand Dukes. Even the youngest Kalian, apart from being a little self-willed, was very good in all aspects, worthy of the title of Grand Duke of Flame.

Therefore, Dio showed great confidence in convincing the four archdukes. However, in order to convince the four Grand Dukes, he still needs to get some straightforward information.

In addition, he had to convince the unbelieving Minotaur leader in front of him.

"If the situation in the Demon Realm has become so critical, then several Demon Kings in the Demon Realm must have thought of other ways out. Your presence in this underworld is proof enough. ”

The old god Dior, who clasped his hands to his chest, said: "In fact, one of the two sides in the armistice agreement I am talking about, of course, is our United Kingdom of Malt, but the other side is not you, but the one behind you!" ”

"This!"

Hearing Dio say this, Tower's brow suddenly furrowed even tighter, and the faces of the minotaurs, including Old Barton, also showed anger.

Dio's words are tantamount to saying: their minotaur clan is not qualified to sign this "truce agreement" on behalf of the demon world!

How could this not anger the arrogant and always impulsive minotaurs?

But just when some of the more anxious minotaurs had already taken up their weapons and were about to teach Dio a big lesson, Asterius, who had been observing the vase of flowers on the table, once again released his momentum.

The incomparably strong momentum once again pressed on the hearts of all the demons present, and the anger in their hearts was forcibly extinguished in an instant.

Asterius used his actions to show that the Minotaur clan, which was easily suppressed by Dio and him, really did not have the qualifications to represent the Demon Realm.

At the very least, you have to have a strong person who can confront Dio or Asterius to have that kind of confidence to speak.

Pressed by Asterius' momentum, the breathless old Barton couldn't help but have a flash of sadness in his eyes. You know, Asterius, who was originally known as the "Minotaur", should be the strongest combat power belonging to their minotaur clan! As a result, now, in turn, it has become a powerful help for the other party, how can this not make old Barton feel sad.

But sorrow is sorrow, and old Patton has nothing to do about it.

In fact, the fact that the ancestor of the Minotaur clan, "Minotaur", was sleeping in the deepest part of the endless labyrinth, was well known to all the high-ranking members of the Minotaur clan. However, in the last thousand years, there has been no new minotaur in the Minotaur clan who has been able to defeat or awaken the "Minotaur", which makes the Minotaur clan have some problems in terms of top combat power, so the status of the Minotaur clan will continue to decline.

And at this time, after feeling the grievance of not having a strong pillar in the clan again, Old Barton couldn't help but turn his head to look at the tower as the leader.

Under the pressure of the momentum of the "Minotaur", the injured tower behaved no different from other minotaur warriors, but the old Barton, who was not old and dizzy, noticed it very keenly, and the tower's eyes contained an unyielding will!

Indeed, compared to the other chieftains, the tower was indeed a little too young. But being able to successfully take on the position of the leader of the clan at such an age is enough to prove the potential of the tower!

Young enough, there is enough potential, if enough training can be given, then the young tower may really be able to reproduce the glory of the Minotaur clan, so as to develop and grow the Minotaur clan again!

After having such a plan in his heart, old Barton immediately resisted the pressure of Asterius's momentum, and stammered a little and said, "Please...... Reclaim your momentum...... Let's do it! ”

"This thing...... We...... Agreed! ”

Seeing that old Barton was finally relieved, Asterius immediately retracted his momentum, and then silently observed the little flower in the bottle again.

For Asterius, the things that Dio and the Minotaurs were talking about were more interesting to him than the little flowers. Even if Dio hadn't given Asterius a little instruction through the contract, Asterius, who didn't know how to read the atmosphere at all, would not have released his momentum in such a timely manner.

Even now, when Old Barton spoke, Asterius took advantage of the situation to regain his momentum, and made the Minotaur side think that Dio had agreed with Old Barton's opinion.

Although this is true, Asterius' lack of cooperation still makes Dio a little big.

(Looks like you really can't let this idiot go out on his own, you have to match him with a smarter retinue first.) ）

After slanting a glance at Asterius, Dio, who sighed secretly, also put aside the matter of Asterius for the time being, and began to think about what to do next.

After a moment's thought, Dio continued: "Until the envoy sent by your superiors arrives, we will have a temporary truce, right?" ”

Although Dio didn't say it explicitly, the Minotaur such as Tower and Old Patton, who had already relieved themselves, understood that the two sides he was talking about this time were referring to the Minotaur clan and the Cast Iron Castle.

Due to the defeat just now, coupled with Dio's trouble, the morale of the Minotaur clan is estimated to be very low. Coupled with the fact that the troops have gradually lost their discipline, there should be no way to start a war again in a short time.

However, Dio also took into account that the warlike demon clan wanted to feed the war with war, so the Minotaur clan with broken jars was likely to attack the cast-iron fort again, relying on war to eliminate those unqualified soldiers. So just in case, Dio brought up the matter anyway.

After all, until the four Grand Dukes of the United Kingdom of Malt reach an agreement, it is necessary to maintain the balance of this underground world.

Hearing Dio's words, Tower, Old Barton and other high-ranking members of the Minotaur clan agreed to a temporary truce with the side of the Cast Iron Fort after a little discussion.

Of course, the problems found by Dio and the others of Tower and Old Patton will not be unclear. But before that, they were hired by the fallen angel Saraphim. Before the end of the employment relationship, Tower and Old Patton had no time to deal with these trivial matters in the residence, so they could only leave it to their own devices for the time being.

Now, although they were forced by Dio to temporarily cease the war, Ta and Old Barton and others, who had nothing to do, finally had time to deal with these trivial matters. Considering that the cast iron fort side that was heavily damaged by them probably did not have the strength to fight them again, so although they were still a little reluctant, the high-ranking members of these minotaur clans, led by Tower and Old Barton, still agreed with Dio's opinion.

Seeing that the Minotaur finally agreed to a truce, Dio also breathed a faint sigh of relief.

Although persuading the Minotaur to temporarily cease fighting with the Cast Iron Castle was only a trivial matter, after facilitating this incident, he also had a reason to explain to Aisha and Witt Cast Iron and others.

As for the Void Invasion of the Demon Realm, the ** has become so serious, and Dio doesn't want to tell anyone else about this aspect for the time being, after all, the impact of this problem is too great.

(hmm...... In order to convince the three Grand Dukes except Karen, such empty words are obviously not enough, I also need some information that is accurate enough, preferably more intuitive...... ）

Considering the difficulty of convincing the three archdukes, Dio decided to put in a little more effort, and his main task at the moment was probably this anyway.

"Since you want to relocate from the Demon Realm to this underground world, you should have already established a semi-permanent space gate, right? I want to borrow that door. ”

Dio said directly if he wanted to do it.

"What do you want to do?"

Hearing Dio say this, the atmosphere that had eased a lot just now became tense again, and the tower directly took out the battle axe and looked at Dio very vigilantly.

For the current Minotaur clan, all matters related to that semi-permanent space gate are top secret!

You must know that the dwarf clan just made a regional space gate that is not far away, and they consumed so much material resources, and in order to send troops to Aisha, Kalian's side even made the legendary Akatsuki and Bart consume it, and they have not been able to slow down now.

It's just that in the same world, the temporary space door that is not far away is actually not far away, and the price to pay is so great. So how high the cost of the semi-permanent space gate that crossed from the demon realm to the main plane and could be maintained for a long time was really impossible to estimate for Dio.

If something goes wrong with this spatial gate, then it may not be enough to fill in the entire Minotaur clan! Therefore, when they heard Dio talk about the space gate, the high-level demons led by the tower showed such excitement.

It's so high that they can't afford to be careless!

"Calm down, I just want to go to the Demon Realm."

Looking at the towers and other demons who were like the great enemy, Dio shrugged helplessly: "If I can, I want to borrow a guide from you." ”

Dio's words finally calmed down a few demons, including Ta. They also realized that if Dio really wanted to do something to that spatial gate at this time, they were powerless to stop it now.

Therefore, these demons, including the tower, once again felt the grievance of being a weakling.

"If you're going to be a guide, I'll do it."

At this moment, the leader of the sheep's head monster, Buck, took the initiative to say, "It just so happens that I also want to go back to the Demon Realm to have a look." ”

As he spoke, Barker's eyes looked rather complicated.

With Buck taking the initiative to take the pot, the already reluctant old Barton and others naturally pushed the boat along the way. While the elders of the Minotaur clan led by Old Patton were all relieved, only Ta glanced at Buck with very complicated eyes.
