"This is no longer the time when even if your Bright Sect is defeated, you can rely on your strong strength to get some benefits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoYou, the strongest demigod, don't have this face anymore. ”

Hearing Douglas's merciless words, Molfa's face turned red, and he instinctively opened his wings of light, ready to wait for Benedict II's order to deal with it desperately.

Since the beginning of Morfa's memory, the Holy See of Light has recovered its vitality and has once again become the number one force that threatens the entire Ymir Continent. Although the style of the Bright Sect has been somewhat restrained because of the fear of other forces joining forces, and it is not as domineering as it was in its heyday, as long as the Bright Sect makes a move, whether it succeeds or fails, it will inevitably have gains.

Even if it fails, the forces plotted by the Holy See of Light will not dare to pursue it too much, so they can only dispose of the parties, and then take out part of the benefits in exchange for the Holy See of Light not to retaliate immediately. Even in the battle of the Feilin Kingdom, which caused a strong counterattack by the Alliance of Human Kingdoms thirty years ago, although the Holy See of Light paid some costs, it finally took the Feilin Kingdom, exterminated the Feilin royal family, and turned the entire country into a religious state.

But this time against the Elson Kingdom, because of the participation of the Nine Rings White Tower, the Holy See of Light not only lost the extremely precious Holy Weapon of Light, but the other party was not ready to compromise at all, and put the Holy See of Light directly in the position of the vanquished. This made Morfa, who had hardly suffered any setbacks, let alone humiliation, unable to accept it at all, and subconsciously wanted to fight back.

"Since Speaker Douglas insists, then I'll give you a face. Just a kingdom of Elson, we don't want it. Without waiting for Molfa to make a move, Benedict II waved his hand and stopped the angry Molfa, and at the same time said to Douglas lightly: "But if this matter is over, I will not be able to explain it when I go back, I'm afraid Your Excellency Speaker will not be at ease, right?"

Although since last year, the seal of the Arcane Emperor has officially begun to weaken, and the laws of the Ymir Continent have been slightly loosened, this change is far from being able to support the awakening of immortal level masters. So Benedict II was not entirely convinced of the attitude shown by Douglas. In fact, Benedict II took a step back and said that the abandonment of the Ilson Artifact, as long as the kingdom of Elson, was itself a temptation for Douglas.

If Douglas directly agreed to this compromise, it would mean that Douglas's previous attitude was a bluff nine times out of ten, and the Nine-Ring White Tower did not really gain the support of the Immortal Tier forces. In that case, Benedict II could have reversed himself at any time and continued to compete with Douglas for interests. You can even mobilize your strength to directly strike at the Nine Rings White Pagoda and force the other party to return the Light Hallows.

But now Douglas has directly rejected the compromise plan, showing that he is not afraid of retaliation from the Holy See of Light, and Benedict II is a little unsure of the opponent's hole cards. After all, the Nine-Ring White Tower is one of the inheritance forces of the Arcane Empire, and it has some special inheritances. It is not impossible that they have a way in their hands that can make the Immortal Grand Arcanists awaken in advance. So out of prudence, Benedict II was not provoked by Douglas, but took another step back.

"That's just as well. Then Your Majesty, what are you going to do about it?" After Benedict II took another step back, Douglas did not continue to chase and fight, as others had imagined, but resumed his posture of negotiation.

"You have enough hole cards, but you don't want to really tear your face and consume your vitality?" Hearing Douglas's response, Benedict II frowned and silently pondered in his heart.

If Douglas insists on being tough and continues to make inch-in-progress, it means that the White Tower of the Nine Rings is either full of confidence and wants to fight with the Holy See of Light, and this action is the trigger to lure the Holy See of Light to make a move. Either that or there is no Immortal Rank power awakening at all, and Douglas is just bluffing. So in response to this situation, Benedict II's biggest possibility is to mobilize forces and fight with the Nine Rings White Tower, even if he loses some strength, he must test the hole cards of the Nine Rings White Tower.

But Douglas's choice of compromise at this juncture just made Benedict II a little undecided. Douglas's performance, as if he had enough confidence but didn't want to really consume, was more in line with Benedict II's prediction of the situation. But in the face of Douglas, an old fox who has lived for almost a thousand years, Benedict II did not dare to believe it completely, and was afraid that this was an illusion carefully designed by the other party.

And now if Benedict II believes Douglas and thinks that there are immortal level masters in the Nine Rings White Tower, and chooses to compromise, the Bright Church will suffer a relatively large loss. The loss of a kingdom's interests and a Bright Artifact is also a big blow to the Holy See of Light.

But if you don't believe Douglas's words and choose to go to war, the risk is too great. Even if the Nine-Ring White Pagoda does not have the power of the immortal rank, it is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch. If an Immortal Rank force joins, then it is likely to cause the Bright Sect to suffer a heavy setback. At a time when the general trend of the world is about to undergo drastic changes, if the Bright Sect suffers a setback and becomes weak, then the loss is not as simple as a kingdom and a Bright Sacred Weapon, and the entire Bright Sect may be destroyed because of this. After all, in the era of the rising tide of demons, the forces that have been traumatized and fallen into weakness but occupy huge interests are always in the most dangerous situation.

"We will no longer meddle in the affairs of the Northlands, and the White Tower of the Nine Rings will also promise not to interfere in the actions of the Holy See of Light for twenty years. And when the Human Kingdom Alliance asks to join forces against us, you, the Nine-Ring White Tower, will be on our side. After pondering for a long time, Benedict II finally did not dare to make up his mind to fight to the death with the White Pagoda of the Nine Rings, and chose to compromise.

For the Holy See of Light, how to deal with the demon tide has a whole set of plans internally. And this plan does not include fighting to the death with top forces like the Nine Rings White Tower. Once you choose to start a war, it is better to win a big victory quickly, but once you are defeated, or even just a miserable victory or a draw, it will greatly affect the response plan of the Holy See of Light. And now, Benedict II apparently did not have the confidence to easily crush the White Tower of the Nine Rings.

However, although he chose to compromise with the White Tower of the Nine Rings, Benedict II did not give up fighting for the interests of the Holy See of Light. The conditions for peace are actually to use a Bright Artifact that has fallen into the hands of the enemy, and to give up expansion in the Northlands, in exchange for ten years of mutual non-aggression with the White Tower of the Nine Rings, and support when encountering the Alliance of Human Kingdoms. In this way, the Holy See of Light can concentrate its forces on dealing with weak and small countries in other regions, taking advantage of the fact that the Human Kingdom Alliance has no time to take care of itself, and try to grab benefits as much as possible to make up for the losses in the Elson Kingdom.

As for why the time is set at twenty years, on the one hand, it is because the civil war between the human kingdom alliance will not last long, and it should be possible to decide the winner within twenty years. When the time comes, the situation on the entire continent will change dramatically. This agreement will definitely not be able to be fulfilled at that time, and it will be meaningless to make an appointment for a long time.

On the other hand, in the plan of the Holy See of Light, after twenty years, it should have used the demon tide to accumulate enough strength to deal with the crisis, and truly opened up the faith channel with the God of Light. At that time, with the direct support of the God of Light, even if there were immortal level masters in the Nine Rings White Tower, it would be impossible for them to be the opponent of the Holy See of Light. At that time, everything that has been paid today, the Holy See of Light will take it back.

"The twenty-year agreement of non-interference is fine, but between you and the Human Kingdom Alliance, the Nine-Ring White Tower will only be neutral and will not support you. After a moment's deep thought, Douglas nodded in response.

Although he is not afraid to go to war with the Holy See of Light, Douglas also knows that this is definitely not a good opportunity to fight to the death with the Holy See of Light. Although because it is the remnant of the Arcane Empire, the Nine Rings White Tower has more preparations to deal with the demon tide, but when the big changes are about to start, the strength will be greatly reduced, and the future outcome of the Nine Rings White Tower will not be too good. So from the very beginning, Douglas didn't want to start a war with the Holy See of Light, and all his previous actions were just to force the other party to make concessions.

Of course, if Benedict II insists on not compromising, Douglas is also ready to have a top-level battle with the other side. For the Nine-Ring White Pagoda at this stage, the resources of the Northland countries are very important, if the Bright Holy See does not compromise, even if there is a fight, the Nine-Ring White Pagoda will also include the Northland countries in its sphere of influence.

Judging from the current results, Benedict II's conditions are basically acceptable to both sides. After dividing the spheres of influence and signing a non-aggression pact, the two sides can free themselves from confrontation and concentrate their forces on expansion. Take advantage of the opportunity of the civil war at the core of the Human Kingdom Alliance to seize the benefits as much as possible and strengthen yourself.

Of course, compared to the encroachment of the Bright Sect Chiguoguo's kingdom, the means of the Nine Rings White Tower would be much gentler, and there was no need to even turn against the Human Kingdom Alliance. Therefore, Douglas directly chose to reject the suggestion of forming an alliance when the Holy See of Light encountered the counterattack of the Human Kingdom Alliance.

As for the time of this peace treaty, the Nine Rings White Tower also has its own hole cards and plans. Twenty years is enough time for the Nine Rings White Tower to make some preparations. As the remnant of the Arcane Empire, the Nine-Ring White Tower is confident that it will stand firm in the midst of the magic tide, and even use the influence of the magic tide to restore the glory of the Arcane Empire.

"That's fine. That's it. Benedict II nodded in approval. The attitude of the White Tower of the Nine Rings was expected, and Benedict II had no intention of really forming an alliance with the other party, in fact, the two sides were just taking what they needed and concentrating on cutting meat from the Human Kingdom Alliance.

"That's it. Douglas nodded and approved the agreement.

In a few words, a 'peace agreement' involving several kingdoms and affecting the situation on the entire continent of Ymir was reached.
