Chapter 147: The End of the War

On November 1st, when the chill of early winter hit most of the Sainz continent, a piece of news spread throughout the continent at the same time.

After half a month of negotiations, the Candela Empire and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Ruerson finally signed an armistice.

After this news broke, it did not surprise too many people.

Since half a month ago, the combined forces of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire and the two empires were defeated by the Luxin coalition army on the Serra Plain, this result has been doomed.

Or it can be said that this result is actually the best result for the Candela Empire.

Because if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not plan to cease the war, but continues to jointly attack the Candela Empire with the Ruerson Kingdom, then the Candela Empire will definitely have no ability to stop.

If the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were more ruthless, it was even very likely that the entire Candela Empire would be torn apart, or even destroyed.

No one believed that the Kingdom of Luxon and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce were capable of completely occupying the Candela Empire, but no one doubted that they had the ability.

So when the news of the signing of the armistice agreement between the two sides came out, the first thought of the vast majority of people was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Since the conflict between the two sides at the beginning of last year, which led to the war, and then the signing of the armistice agreement near the end of this year, although the entire war only lasted for about a year and a half, it has affected countless countries and most of the people on the entire Sainz continent.

Affected by the war, the lives of the people of most countries on the continent of Sainz have been extremely seriously affected.

The most obvious example is that because of the war, the foreign trade of several countries in the southwest corner of the mainland that belong to the camp of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has suffered a serious setback.

This has the greatest impact on these countries, though. But it also has a great impact on the countries with which they trade.

For example, these countries have long popularized the magic mechanical farming mode of farmland. In addition, the special fertilizer of the elves is widely used. As a result, grain production has become extremely high, so a large amount of grain will be exported to the outside world, and the price is still low.

Many countries are very dependent on these countries to export their grain, and as a result, in the past two years, due to the impact of the war, the grain exports of these countries have also been affected, and even famine has occurred in several countries.

Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire have finally signed an armistice agreement, the merchants who have long been unable to hold back have reorganized the trade routes in the shortest possible time, and a steady stream of food and materials has been sent to the transportation in an instant. Famine in these countries will soon be alleviated.

Of course, these are only a small part of the impact after the two sides signed the armistice agreement, and what people are really concerned about is what specific conditions the two sides reached in this armistice agreement.

It stands to reason that the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have clearly won a complete victory and forced the Candela Empire to sign an armistice, so this armistice agreement is bound to be extremely beneficial to the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

It's just that considering that the Candela Empire is an old empire that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years after all, and has a profound heritage, even if the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce gain an advantage in the battlefield with military magic machinery, it will be difficult to force the Candela Empire to sign such an excessive agreement.

So people are curious about what the agreement is about.

On the part of the Ruerson Kingdom, it is not enough. After all, the war on the continent of Sainz did not happen once or twice, and the armistice agreement signed between the two countries was basically like that.

People are really curious. It was the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce that was able to sign an armistice agreement with such a huge empire as the Candela Empire, which was the first time in the history of the Sainz Continent.

Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce after all, unlike the Ruerson Kingdom, which has a lot of completely guessable needs, what kind of conditions should it put forward?

However, both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire kept silent about this armistice agreement, and did not reveal what the specific conditions were.

It's just that after the signing of the armistice agreement, the Luxin coalition army quickly withdrew from the territory of the Candela Empire, and it is speculated that the conditions agreed by the Candela Empire should be satisfactory to both the Ruerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they would not have withdrawn so simply.

However...... For the Candela Empire, the signing of the armistice was just the beginning.

Because of the successive battles of the Luxin Alliance, the current Candela Empire has already fallen into chaos even without the influence of the Luxin Alliance.

If nothing else, the dozen or so provinces that declared independence alone were enough to make the Candela Empire's royal family anxious.

Although the Luxin coalition army retreated, it was not so easy to re-stabilize the chaotic situation within the Candela Empire.

The vast majority of people feel that even if the Maro Empire does not stab the Candela Empire in the back at this time, the Candela Empire itself will have to spend a lot of effort to calm the chaos in the country.

On November 9, the Maro Empire, the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Duchy of Draco announced at the same time that an armistice had been signed between the two sides.

This means that after the Candela Empire was forced to sign an armistice, the Maro Empire, another pillar of the two imperial camps, was also forced to declare an end to the war.

Although it is slightly different from the Candela Empire, which was forced to sign an armistice after its crushing defeat, everyone can see that the Maro Empire has obviously paid a great price.

After all, in the battle on the Serra Plains, the Maro Empire also sent a large number of reinforcements to fight against the Luxin coalition army with the Candela Empire, but they suffered a crushing defeat together.

Obviously, the Maro Empire also realized through this battle that it could not fight against these armies that could be supported by the military magic machinery of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, so instead of being completely defeated like the Candela Empire, or even breaching the capital by only one step, it was better to recognize the situation in advance and choose to pay a sufficient price to stop the war as soon as possible.

As for the specific content of the armistice agreement, neither the Marlo Empire, the Lampari Kingdom, nor the Principality of Draco have announced it.

However, from some subsequent treatment measures, some clues can still be seen.

The most obvious example. It was the government-in-exile of the Frankish Kingdom, which had been under the control of the Maro Empire, that announced its dissolution. The Frankish kingdom was officially declared extinct.

Meanwhile. The Emperor of the Sark Kingdom, who had been carrying out various activities with the support of the Maro Empire, also disappeared at the same time and disappeared without a trace.

This meant that the kingdom of Sark had since disappeared from history.

On the other hand, the Kingdom of Lampari and the Duchy of Draco divided up all the territories that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of the Franks, in accordance with the agreement signed by the two sides long ago.

Of course, the Lampari Kingdom occupies the vast majority, that is, almost the entire Sark Kingdom and more than half of the Frankish Kingdom, while the Principality of Drake only occupies less than 20,000 square kilometers of the Sark Kingdom and a small half of the Frankish Kingdom territory that has been determined before.

In this way, the territory of the Lampari Kingdom has more than tripled at once, and it has suddenly jumped from an ordinary kingdom in the southwest corner of the continent to a superpower with a territory second only to the two empires on the entire continent.

And the territorial expansion of the Duchy of Drake is even more exaggerated. Directly from a small principality of only tens of thousands of square kilometers, it has suddenly become a large country with more than 200,000 ordinary kilometers.

With such a large area, of course, it can no longer be considered a small principality.

On November 17, on the occasion of the annual founding celebration of the Duchy of Draco, Archduchess Caroline officially announced her ascension to the throne as the first king of Delaco.

From this day on, the Duchy of Draco became the Kingdom of Draco.

On the other hand, the Lampari Kingdom did not have such an obvious landmark event, but only made every effort to absorb a large number of newly acquired territories, and fully encouraged the merchants of the Lampari Kingdom to enter the new territory for investment, construction and development.

These things have been done in the Lampari Kingdom before, but they have always been subject to various restrictions because they are in different countries.

Now that the kingdoms of Sark and Frankish no longer exist, the hindrances are gone. The movements of the Lampari Kingdom naturally accelerated.

On 23 November, the Principality of Wales came with the help of the coalition forces of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. After breaking through the royal city of the Dro, King Wakri was killed in the battle to defend the palace, and the city of Dro fell, and the kingdom of the Dro was declared extinct.

On the same day, the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdorm, which had been on the defensive, suddenly launched an all-out counteroffensive.

With the support of a large number of military magic machines from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, the Norzdorm Commercial United Kingdom army won a resounding victory in thirteen battles in less than half a month, repelling all the besieging enemy forces.

Subsequently, the southeastern countries of the Sainz continent signed the "Treaty of Trade and Cooperation of the Southeastern States of the Sainz Continent" in response to the call of the commercial United Kingdom of Nozdom.

Under the terms of the South-East Treaty, the thirteen chambers of commerce of the United Kingdom of Nozdorm will have full trade authority in all of the South-East countries.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strong commercial capabilities of the thirteen chambers of commerce in the United Kingdom of Ennorzdorm, as well as the strong magical industrial system they have obtained after cooperating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, once they obtain complete trade rights, the entire southeast corner of the continent will inevitably become the world of these thirteen chambers of commerce.

However...... The situation is stronger than people, and no matter how unwilling the southeastern countries are to sign this treaty, there is nothing they can do.

On November 29, the Magic Kingdom of Mana also announced the signing of an armistice agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.

At this point, the two imperial camps and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp lasted for a year and a half, and the war that almost affected the Sainz continent really came to an end.

In the history of the Sainz continent, a war that covered such a wide range of areas ended in only one and a half years, which is truly unique.

There was a time in history when the two empires went to war in an all-out war, but it lasted for twenty-three years before it came to an end.

Of course, everyone understands that the reason why it ended so quickly was entirely because the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was too powerful, so that there was no suspense on the frontal battlefield at all.

So...... The other participating countries have already announced the results, what is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doing? (To be continued......
