The demonic invasion quickly became the most serious situation of the moment, and everyone knew the weight of the news.

Wood hoped that the princess's side would return the captives of the Flame Sanctuary first, and that the Conolia fleet would at least recover some combat strength to deal with the ensuing war with the demons. However, Brando did not respond to this request immediately, and the time was short, but it did not mean that he needed to give up his previous gains.

The big battle is a little rest, and both sides need to rest. Demons weren't going to be able to appear to them right away, and the creatures from beneath the Brimstone River would be hampered by the torrential rain, and even the worst estimates would have more than ten hours to negotiate with the Cruz.

Brando's request is simple, and it smacks of a lion's mouth.

The Northern Coalition side should return all the captives belonging to the princess's side, which naturally includes His Royal Highness the Little Prince.

The Temple of Fire then bears the cost of the war, because Brando believes that the northern nobles started the war at their instigation - and he doesn't care if that's the case or not.

This includes reparations and trade compensation agreements.

Of course, the reparations were made privately, in order to take into account the face of the Cruz. This small request can still be met by Brando, after all, he only focuses on practical benefits.

The Trade Compensation Agreement was a form of compensation proposed by Brando, ostensibly as a trade preference between the Cruz Empire and the Eruin Empire. But in fact, there are many detailed conditions, including two important technology deals.

Drawings of the Magic Transmission Device and the manufacturing techniques of the Imperial 'Dreadnought-class' first class battleships.

This is nothing short of blackmail.

Seeing these two conditions, the expression on Wood's face was as black as a dark cloud off Ampesel, and he brushed his sleeves away without saying a word.

Then he sent an envoy to negotiate with Brando.

The envoy simply declared that if Brando did not cooperate, the Templars would abandon Eruin, for which the Cruz would lose face at best. But waiting for the best fate of Eruin is also a great loss of vitality, and the worst outcome is undoubtedly the destruction of the country.

If these words were put in front of the other Eruin nobles, it would undoubtedly be a huge bomb, and even Her Royal Highness the Princess would be shaken by it. But Brando just laughed when he heard this, and directly told Mordface to throw the guy out of the camp.

Joke.

He was well aware of the Templars' weaknesses, and the Cruz people probably wanted more than just to save face. More importantly, the secrets of the Gate of Fire must not fall into the hands of the One Society. He knew that there were several permanent Gates of Fire in the territory of the Cruz Empire, and once the secrets of the Gates of Fire were revealed, he was afraid that the Empire would become another gate from the River of Brimstone to the surface world from now on.

Having mastered this secret, Brando naturally did not compromise lightly. However, he also felt uneasy in his heart, if Wood's old fox really dared to stand still, in the end, Brando was afraid that he would really take the initiative to compromise with the other party.

For only he, Antitina, and Freya knew that Roman was still in the port of Ampesel.

And once the Cruz people take the initiative, I'm afraid that Eruin will let them peel off a layer of skin. Brando gritted his teeth and persevered for an hour and a half, and finally Wood couldn't help but find the door first. After all, the High Priest didn't have any news in his hands that would reassure him.

When Wood came, Brando was completely relieved.

The Cruz relented.

Within half an hour, Brando signed a provisional peace agreement with Wood, taking advantage of the Cruz people's softness. Brando showed no mercy, and in addition to the superficial agreement, the two sides signed a secret agreement on an improvised basis.

The Sanctuary of Fire privately recognized the right of the Corkova royal family to hold several of the leading leaders of the northern nobility accountable for usurpation in the future. This included the disposition of the Grand Duke of Sifah, the Marquis of Balta, the Count of Vitokin, and the Marquis of Yuxi.

However, this second provision has not been made explicit. First of all, now is not the time to shake the confidence of the northern nobles, and secondly, the high priest has already discovered that Grand Duke Sifahe, Marquis of Balta, Count Vitokin, and Marquis Yuxi are missing, presumably His Royal Highness Prince Haruzer may also fall into the hands of the One Society.

Therefore, even if the temple wanted to fulfill this provision, it would not be able to do so for the time being.

And after all the requirements have been met. Naturally, Brando agreed in principle to return all of the Templar captives in his possession, including the seven Templars, the Whitewing Knights, and the rest of the Conolia fleet.

After all, these people will also play their part in the war, which is considered to be Brando's coolies. Although the Cruz people don't necessarily think so.

At the same time, in exchange for a second, more important agreement. Brando also took a step back from the original technology transfer agreement. The latest version of the magic guide transmission device was changed to a drawing that was no more than ten years behind, and the technology of building battleships was changed to that of building frigates.

Even so, Brando left a trap behind. Because his original target knight was the design of the new frigate of the Cruz Empire, the battleship of the Cruz people, which pursued firepower and armor, was bulky and unpleasant. He preferred the new type of battleship of the Wind Elves, but the new frigates of the Cruz were stolen from their old enemies, the Hazels, who were among the best wizards in the world of Vaynd.

It's a pity that Wood is a respected high priest. The most talented high-ranking people in the Flame Temple, but they are not technocrats, and most of the nobles who accompany the Flame Temple are unlikely to bring with them the level of master craftsmen. So when everyone didn't know the trap in this, Brando naturally pitted them cleanly.

In the end, the two sides exchanged prisoners and reached a preliminary settlement. Brando wasn't going to let two armies that had killed Red-Eyed only a few hours ago merge together to fight the demons. This is undoubtedly a fantasy. Therefore, he simply had the Northern Coalition stop in the area of Bunoan, while the Princess's army and Lantonilan's army were stationed directly in the Mar Heights.

This mention was also approved by everyone, and anyway, the northern nobles were not necessarily willing to stand in the same trench as Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Brando then blocked the news of the demonic invasion, not letting any rumors circulate among the ordinary soldiers, only telling them that an alien army from Jogandegang might have invaded Ampesel. Although it is said that a big battle has been won, it is still too late to celebrate, and it is frustrating to go back to fighting. But it's better than having a lot of deserters all at once.

He had seen similar scenes, which abound in the Second and Third Wars of the Black Roses. Both Outin and the nobles of the royal party agreed, and they knew the virtues of their men.

Although the royal party parted ways with Her Royal Highness the princess earlier, the princess had already expressed her innocence for the past, and the two sides temporarily returned to the same chariot. Thanks to the existence of Brando and Eco, Princess Griffiin's status has improved considerably.

But the morale of the soldiers is still a problem. Brando left the problem to the Cruz and told Wood to convince the nobles of the Northern Coalition to gather supplies from near Bunoan, so that Lantoniland and Count Outin's army could celebrate a victory for at least.

"As long as there is a hot broth, even in this ghost weather, ordinary soldiers can still be satisfied." By evening, Brando had already begun sending scouts to the periphery to get information on the vicinity of the harbor and whether or not the harbor had fallen into the hands of demons. and the number of demons.

However, considering that the inhabitants of the surface world knew very little about the underworld, Brando decided to go and find out in the vicinity of Ampesel. Naturally, his risky move was strongly opposed by Antitina, and even Princess Griffiin did not approve of it, but he decided to go ahead despite all the criticism.

It's just that she didn't expect Her Royal Highness the princess to fail to stop him from taking risks, and she insisted on joining him. She ordered Overwell to stay behind to pacify the soldiers, then changed into a knight's uniform and mounted her warhorse. Joined by his ranks, Count Outin accompanied her.

What Her Royal Highness the princess wants to do, Brando is naturally powerless to stop it. Fortunately, he didn't plan to fight the demon in the first place. Just to investigate the situation on the front line, it is up to her temperament.

Brando naturally didn't think that Her Royal Highness the princess cared about him, and maybe there was a reason for this, but there were times when he saw the half-elf girl with bright silver eyes in the rain, and he thought to himself that she must not be satisfied with his identity as a woman.

Indeed, she was far more suitable for the throne than her brother.

"I just don't know if those cavemen will give us a night's rest." Count Outin replied with some trepidation.

Brando could understand Outing's uneasiness, as events like demonic invasions can be large and small, and they happen on the surface world at all times. Such as an evil warlock summoning a demon and making a pact with it, or the occasional beast from the River of Brimstone escaping to the surface. These events are insignificant.

But once a situation like the one is now, and the demon has mastered one or more large portals, it will be a terrible matter. Because the demons themselves also have the technology to control the portal, if the local lords do not react to quickly extinguish and destroy the teleportation array, the army of creatures in the lower world will grow like a snowball.

There have been several incidents of national destruction in history. The earliest example is in the year of the Golden Hoof. Then the Year of Radiance happened again, and the hapless principality was very close to Eruin, near the Duchy of Antobro.

"I'm afraid not." Brando replied. Demons are not like the Wyvern's dragoons of Eruin, they can march well at night, but the heavy rain will also hinder their movements.

The slopes of the black pine forests became slippery and difficult to walk under heavy rains. Between heaven and earth becomes a boundless line at the end of the pole. Fortunately, Brando was familiar with the terrain of the area, and the group rounded several low hills, and then a majestic peak came into view.

That's what Brando is aiming for.

Guarded by knights, he climbed the highest mountain closest to Ampesel in the rain with the princess and the Earl of Outin, and looked down from the top of the hill to see the darkness in the direction of the port, which was one of the worst signs. He looked up a few dark clouds drifting from the north, and then he realized that they were all harpies - close relatives of the Sirens, who had been banished during the 'Kailanor' War and had gone into hiding in the underworld.

Brando put down the binoculars in his hand, couldn't help but take a light breath of cold air, he turned around, and Her Royal Highness the princess on the side was pale. Sure enough, just as Wood had predicted, there was already an army from Jorgandegon in the harbor of Ampesel.

The three of them were silent for a moment.

"Those don't seem to be demons?" Her Royal Highness asked.

Brando nodded, and he glanced at the other two, only to see that they didn't seem to realize what was wrong. The demons are mixed with the army of Jogandigan, which is not a good sign.

The inhabitants of the Underworld are not only cavemen, but most of the surface dwellers are referred to collectively as troglodytes. Few of them could distinguish the relationship between the demon and the other forces of Qiao Gendigang, so it was understandable to show such an attitude.

But Brando knew that Joe Gen Digan was actually a general term. The underside crisscrosses the region, connecting many regions, such as the Mushroom Field and the Eternal Abyss, and the River of Brimstone, where the demons live, is actually the lowest level of the Inner World, cut off by Vaynd's elemental boundaries. The first to discover them were the Dark Elves, who built a city on the lava plains, Scorched Tip. Due to the influence of dark magic, the city's high-ranking nobles quickly became corrupted and degenerated, breaking the seal of the elemental border, and the demon broke out of the box, and the dark elf empire also died.

The Dark Elves then retreated into the Abyss of Eternal Darkness, and the demons quickly took over a piece of land and became one of the natives of the underworld. However, the inhabitants of the underground are hostile to each other, and it is absolutely impossible for the Qiaogendigang Empire, which is controlled by the black dragon, to give in to the demons, how did the two races get together?

Brando remembers that the first invasion of the surface world by Jorgane was at the beginning of the Second Age, after the Second War of the Black Roses. That's the third chapter of the game, 'Eternal Darkness'.

Could it be that something unknown has happened in the world underneath? No, Brando didn't think that the history he had changed had affected Jogan so quickly, and a sword of the earth was already a coincidence within a coincidence.

However, in any case, the real problem still needs to be solved urgently.

"Mr. Brando, what should we do now?" Princess Griffiin asked, there were so many harpies in the sky that they were like dark clouds, and she never dreamed that in just one day, such an army would gather near Ampesel. And the number of demons on the ground can be imagined, this is a force that even Lantonilan's army and the northern coalition army combined cannot resist.

Brando also looked at this scene and was slightly silent for a moment.

"There's nothing I can do."

"Mr. Brando, you can't ...... either?" Princess Griffiin could barely speak.

Brando nodded, and the hand of the One Everything Meeting was indeed greatly beyond his expectations. The current demon army is almost more than the previous Flame Sanctuary and the Northern Alliance combined, and he has no ability to start another cycle of adversity heaven in a short period of time.

Summoning the Sanctuary of Life, the Trojan of Adversity, and all the precursor cycles, he has to accumulate elements for a long time. Don't think about it for at least a week.

He pursed his lips, his mind filled with thoughts about the current situation.
