Thinking away from the girl who was already gone, Aine sighed as he looked at the light shining from the eastern sky.

Time is too tight.

This year is already the twenty-seventh day of the Melting Moon. And the time that Ain scheduled to arrive at the royal capital of Thran was before the second day of the Spring Flower Moon, and there were still six days to go. From Ain's current travel speed, it is almost enough to get there.

Although Ain could have spent the night on his way, the mage knew that if he did reach the royal capital of Thran, it would be the beginning of a real battle. The magic energy that can be accumulated on the road in the past few days, Aine will naturally accumulate to make up for the loss when he was in the Northwest Fortress before.

……

At this time, in the palace of Dutherland, King of Reesel, the original destination of Ain, the king of the kingdom of Reesel, Philip Carr, even under the service of his beloved queen Judy, showed unease.

Those Drew bones have really touched Rysel's clearly...... Philip's heart couldn't help but feel a little powerless, he didn't expect that his kingdom had been so controlled by the enemy.

……

Yesterday, after the king of Resel had left the council hall in a fit of rage, the Prime Minister of Bahrain and the Generalissimo Nelson, who had received the king's order, came to Drew's Hall. However, to the surprise of both of them, the black-robed man, even Drew's ambassador, had prepared a remote teleportation circle, as if waiting for the two of them to arrive.

As for this long-established teleportation circle, the other end is connected, that is, Drew's Necromantic Council Speaker Berthrum.

"Your Excellency, good afternoon?" When the Prime Minister of Bahrain saw the lich who had already reached the legend, the first thing that came out was actually a greeting.

"Good afternoon, but you two, you seem to have come to say good afternoon not to me, a mortal enemy who has been a bone for many years." Bertreum replied with great interest a good afternoon.

"The armistice agreement that Your Excellency has submitted to His Majesty Philip through the Ambassador is too harsh, and we are obliged and have the right to negotiate with you." Generalissimo Nelson, who was already a few years old, did not express himself accurately, and did not give an obvious response to the possibility of an armistice.

Perhaps in an informal setting, Nelson's words have basically represented his willingness to agree to this agreement, but some of the terms are too strict and unacceptable, but in this formal diplomatic setting, what is not said is not said, there is no subtext.

The image of Bertrem projected in the teleportation circle felt a little less serious, and he looked at Balin and Nelson with the smile characteristic of a lich, and said in a tone as if joking: "From your point of view, it is true that you are obliged to negotiate this agreement, but I feel that you no longer have the right to negotiate in my eyes.

"Do you really know the progress of this war? Do you really know my soldiers, and what leverage do you have to bargain with me and with Drew? Can the priests of the three major temples really keep the Northwest Province? Or will I be able to keep a few large cities, or will only Winterfell, with the Arcanist Dynasty Locks, survive the onslaught of my soldiers? You don't know. ”

Bertrane's words, sentence by sentence, made Balin and Nelson feel a kind of suffocating pressure, but they had no way to refute the words that made them extremely uncomfortable.

"However, for your sincerity, I think I can show my generosity."

From the projection of the teleportation circle, Bertreum casually took a thick roll of parchment and threw it over, and then the parchment paper passed directly through the projection and appeared at the feet of Balin and Nelson.

"Perhaps, this pact is as harsh as you, but if you are not prepared to accept it, the entire Northwest Province will no longer belong to you - except for the city with the Lost Locks - and everything will become what the Necro likes."

The interrogation, directly interrupted, did not give the two a chance to speak at all.

……

And now the king of Resel is a little worried because of this new agreement.

Perhaps, compared with the previous agreement, the whole agreement is not so aggressive, but if this agreement is agreed, then if these undead have no spirit of agreement at all and tear up the agreement, there is no chance of delay in the fall of Reesel.

The opening of the Northwest Fortress, the demilitarization of White Mountain City, and the granting of Drew mages and nobles in the Northwest Province the same status as the Kingdom of Reesel.

The rest of the indemnities and privileges are not as fatal as these.

The most helpless thing for the king of Rysel is that the first to accept this agreement is actually the army faction, at least the generalissimo Nelson of Ressel has said that if it is not signed, the northwest of the kingdom will be completely sunk.

"But acceptance, what is the difference between the northwest of the kingdom and the absence of sinking?" At the time of his return, King Philip asked Generalissimo Nelson.

Generalissimo Nelson was extremely tough, and what he said also made the lord of the kingdom speechless.

"Rather than completely sinking in war, it is better to slowly grow up in peace, and perhaps the commoners and the nobles at the bottom are more adapted to such slow changes."

King Philip looked at his half-brother, a statesman with his own characteristic views.

However, the prime minister of Bahrain has remained silent.

"Let me think about it all night." In the end, King Philip took advantage of this sentence to delay the decision until this morning.

After taking care of himself, he casually ate two mouthfuls of breakfast brought by the maid. Originally, the lord of the kingdom's favorite honey jam bread and ham was in no mood to eat some today, just took a few rough bites, and then took a sip of mellow milk tea, ended breakfast, and walked towards the meeting hall.

……

After almost a morning of quarrelling, King Philip finally chose to reluctantly agree.

King Philip felt that no king had ever been so humiliated since his family established the kingdom of Reesel, and he had to go to Drew's hall in person to sign a humiliating armistice.

"Using the multiverse as a mirror, I have signed this truce between Drew and Rysel with His Excellency Philip."

"Using the multiverse as a mirror, I sign this truce between Drew and Resel with Lord Bertreme."

Faced with the parchment scroll floating between the two, the two signed this armistice with the multiverse as witnesses.

While King Philip and most of his ministers were relieved, the king's half-brother seemed to sense something unusual, but he couldn't say it.
