It would be good if Shen Chao strictly implemented the terms of this agreement, after all, there was nothing discriminatory against the people of Theron in the terms. If it is strictly enforced, it can even be considered quite fair. According to the information provided by Shen Chao and the descriptions of other Theron people who have been living in the council-controlled area for a long time, they can be regarded as stable and harmonious.

If these are true, it is not an unacceptable thing to accept these terms. However, there is always danger. If Shen Chao maliciously distorted these terms in the process of enforcement, the people of Theron would lose their own money.

If they're lucky, they'll just become colonies of the Space-Time Council, and it's not entirely impossible to be genocided if they're unlucky. As a race that has been enslaved by humans for a long time in history and has suffered many losses, the people of Theron naturally will not feel comfortable putting their fate in the hands of another human.

However, anyone can see that if the war continues, the Theron people will probably have no future at all. Negotiations have reached an impasse, with neither side willing to make further concessions.

At this moment, No. 1, who had not spoken before, suddenly spoke, and in the surprised eyes of the other Theron representatives, he proposed to discuss with Shen Chao alone. What puzzled many people at the scene was that Shen Chao immediately agreed to No. 1's request.

In the eyes of the other Theron representatives who gradually became frightened, Shen Chao and No. 1 left the current negotiation table, walked to the edge of the line of sight not far away with a few followers, and set up another negotiation table, and then began one-on-one negotiations.

It was only about 200 meters away from the previous negotiation table in a straight line, and the two sides were still within visual distance, but they could no longer see each other's movements and expressions. The sound of the conversation can also be blocked by the ambient wind.

Under such circumstances, the negotiations between the two sides were able to hold uninterrupted closed-door talks while maintaining "openness". Shen Chao didn't know what No. 1 wanted to say, but he had a hunch that the other party was mentally prepared to make an important compromise.

"You've won, we've lost. What else do you want them to do? As soon as Number One sat down, he first had his own questions. This is the first time he has used the word "they" to describe his fellow citizens in a negotiation, which shows a further split in the intellectual realm of the Terron people.

"I always wanted peace, and order. I made that clear the last time we met. However, you seem to want war more. Now, you have the war you want, and I just want to make the peace I need......" because Question Number One is too vague. Shen Chao didn't answer positively, but just gave this reason.

"They will no longer accept the enslavement of humans, no matter who that person is or how powerful he is!" Number One reaffirmed the position of the Theron people, but his nonchalant tone revealed that he was no longer as concerned about the future of his race as he had been in the past.

"Of course, the Theron people will not be enslaved by the alien race again, I can be sure of that. But by now you should have understood how naïve it is to continue to claim that the Theron people are not humans......" Shen Chao picked up the number one words as if he was a riddle, and the other party only shook his head gloomily after hearing his words, as if agreeing with his point of view.

Not long since. One, like the rest of the Therons, thought that the Therons were more noble and pure than the humans who created them, but now he had to admit that his people were no better off than his own despisable humans when faced with the pressures of war.

In the face of a formidable enemy like the Space-Time Council, the Theron people did not unite unconditionally to deal with the danger as he expected. On the contrary, his people almost did not hesitate to remove themselves from leadership positions when they realized the strength of the other party.

If only that's it. One will not be too disappointed yet. However, when the new authorities came to power, they did not judge the situation and make what he thought was a reasonable choice, but decided to immediately relent and hand himself over. Calm the anger of the enemy......

Such an approach is not a "stopgap measure" that can be justified. In One's view, the Theron people who were able to make such a decision have lost their most important essence: unity! Now they are divided like human beings, and they are no longer the united group he imagined.

Since the overall moral standard of the Theron people has "dropped" to the level of humans, they naturally have no reason to classify themselves as superior races beyond humans due to their high physical structure and the high degree of physical structure with humans.

No. 1 understood Shen Chao's subtext here, that is, the other party did not look up or down on the Theron people from beginning to end. The Theron have not been treated differently or differently from other human groups, as such. Whether or not there will be enslavement depends only on personal perception.

"I see, what are you going to do with those "war criminals"? , you see, more than half of the people of Theron voted for war, and more than a third took part in the battle against the 12 colonies. If you don't make any difference, those guys over there are war criminals. If you insist on killing them all, we shouldn't have this conversation. ”

One expressed his opinion confidently, and as he spoke, he pointed to the other negotiating table 200 meters away, looking at the Thoron representatives from afar. Shen Chao knew that most of the Theron people were inseparable from the crimes of the war, but what he wanted was to annex as many of the Theron people as possible.

For this reason, he could not have killed every Theron who had voted for war. If he really insisted on doing so, he would basically have to choose to continue to expand the war and exterminate the Theron completely, but this would be beyond the current capabilities of the Planar Council.

"Yes, I really won't kill them all, and many of them will be pardoned or commuted depending on their contributions in the negotiations." However, a group of important war criminals must still be pulled out to set an example. Speaking of which, you've attracted a lot of hatred, both within the Theron and among your old enemies, who want to make you pay. Shen Chao answered No. 1's question, and also smoothly moved the topic to No. 1 himself.

He brought the conversation to No. 1 in order to make the other party give in to him, after all, he had already mentioned that he would pardon some high-ranking war criminals. Compared to other Therons, One hates humans the most, but he's also the most honest.

Many of the other Theron representatives could say anything to survive, but Number One dared to unabashedly express his hatred of humanity in front of him. He also has enough power to restrain the behavior of the entire Theron people, and from the point of view of communication and domination, dealing with Number One is actually more time-saving and labor-saving for him.

That's why Shen Chao wants to leave him a way out, he has already thought that as long as No. 1 is willing to surrender to him personally, he can absolve No. 1 of war crimes and cooperate with the other party to develop the No. 035 plane. However, Number One does not seem to accept his well-intentioned idea, and quickly gives a negative answer.

"I know my reputation, and here I am undoubtedly the biggest war criminal. There's nothing to say about that, you can take my life as you please. But I will not ask for anyone's forgiveness, let alone apologize. If I had another chance, I would still make the same choice. In human terms, I deserve it......"

"But I don't mean I'm the kind of idiot who can't see the situation clearly, you've won, and now the only question is how the people of Theron are going to survive." I don't know what kind of treatment they will encounter again and when they enter human society. Nor is he ready to bear the contempt of humanity with them. ”

"However, I can help them and you take some of the stress out of merging! You say you need someone to lead by example, but who better here than me? Anyway, those guys over there are ready to put all the blame for starting the war on me, I'm not as greedy as them, and since they are all willing, so be it......"

No. 1 gave his answer very firmly, and Shen Chao could see that as No. 1 said, he did not regret it at all, and he was not ready to make any form of begging for mercy. In this way, Number One was not ready to go back alive in the first place, but wanted to use his life to achieve something that he couldn't do while he was alive.

"Are you sure you want to?" If you die this time, there will be no resurrection......" Shen Chao reminded when he saw No. 1 begging for death so stubbornly.

"We all die eventually, I have no one of my kindreds to return to or the next life to rely on, death is my best destination." One eventually confirmed that he looked very calm, with even a slight smile on his face, not at all like a man begging for death.

It wasn't until many years later that Shen Chao fully understood the meaning of that prescient smile. However, at the moment, he quickly accepted No. 1's mention and added the other party to the list of war criminals to be executed.

After that, other terms of negotiation were quickly negotiated. For the month that followed, the Theron people were reorganized by the Space-Time Council, and the war criminals were tried and brought to the execution grounds to enforce the law.

It was here that Number One ended his life, and many of the people from the fugitive fleet who had previously arrived at the scene to watch his execution and applauded loudly. After the official communication network was transmitted to all corners of the Parliament of Time and Space, the prestige of the Parliament also increased significantly.

The Space-Time Council is omnipotent, and the image of fairness and justice was officially erected during this period, and became a template for dealing with conflicts in many planes in the future. (To be continued......)
