Chapter 134: Agreement
Roland IX still sat high on his magnificent throne, his expressionless face full of majesty, and he was engaged in daily court deliberations with his important ministers as the distant fortress of Blackstone Fortress teleported the parchment scroll. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Along with the parchment scroll came a thin report, which was the latest description of the situation of the Blackstone Fort Fortress, and the expression on His Majesty Roland IX's face after reading these two rich sheets of paper was indescribably strange.
"You all have to take a look, and then think about it after reading it. Roland IX asked his attendants to hand the two pieces of paper to Prince Eugen at the head, and circulated them one by one.
"Shh~ This can't be a mistake. After reading half of it, Prince Eugen couldn't help but take a breath and asked in disbelief, although he knew that such an important teleportation would never go wrong.
After finishing speaking, he continued to read, his brows furrowed into a big Sichuan character, before he thought that the orcs were nothing more than a request for peace, withdrawal of troops and the like, but this was an extremely strange beginning "Orc Empire and Roland Empire Joint Defense Burning Legion Agreement".
At the beginning of the beginning, a large paragraph of text is used to describe that in the highland forests within the territory of the Orc Empire, there is a space-time rift sealed by the Elven Empire thousands of years ago.
Now, with the passage of time, the seal has begun to gradually fail, so far there have been more than a dozen groups of demon armies of the Burning Legion, trying to establish a bridgehead through the rift, but fortunately, under the sniping of the Highland Elf tribe and the Iron Lord, the demon army has been beaten back.
Then the words on the parchment turned around, and they began to try to describe how the demon army of the Burning Legion, the Highland Elf tribe and the Iron Lord, had suffered heavy casualties, and as the gap in time and space gradually expanded, they were about to be unable to defend.
The following is also a detailed record of the number of people attacked, the composition of the troops, and the strength of the commander of each demon army.
Finally, the Orcs claim that in order to protect the common home of the Fila Continent, they need the support of all terrestrial races, and hope to reach the following agreement with the Roland Empire:
First, from the date of the agreement, neither the Orc Empire nor the Roland Empire shall launch any military action against each other, and the Roland Empire shall cease all activities of civil slave groups in the Orc Empire.
Second, the Roland Empire opened all material embargoes on the Orc Empire, and had no choice but to block the people-to-people trade exchanges between the two countries under any pretext.
Third, the Roland Empire supports the Orc Empire free of charge every year, with 40,000 catties of grain, 500,000 horses of cotton cloth, 500,000 catties of salt, and 10 million gold coins, and within ten days of the agreement being reached, half of them will be delivered in advance.
Fourth, from the date of the agreement, the Roland Empire needs to dismantle all the fortresses of Blackstone within one year, so as not to hinder trade between the two sides.
Fifth, the Roland Empire has the obligation to jointly undertake the defense work of the space-time rift in the highland forest, which requires the investment of no less than 10,000 and no more than 20,000 elite troops every year to undertake part of the defense tasks, and the required materials are borne by the Roland Empire itself.
In addition to the most important five points, there were also more than a dozen requests on the parchment, and after everyone present read it,
The luxurious council hall fell silent, and all the important ministers of the Roland Empire fell into thinking and making choices.
On the orc's parchment, there is not a single word about the current battle between the two sides of the Blackstone Fort fortress group, but everyone present knows that at least half of the requirements in the agreement are based on this aspect.
The meaning of the shadow hidden behind the parchment is actually easy to understand for these old foxes in the political arena: after fighting for so long and dying so many people, the Orc Empire now has the upper hand, and if you want us to withdraw our troops, it's okay, but we must give some benefits.
If you still want to fight, then I can tell you in advance, there is still a big threat in my family, and when the time comes, we will suffer heavy casualties and will not be able to hold the rift in time and space, so don't blame us for everyone finishing together.
In the eyes of these high-level elites of the Roland Empire, the thin parchment was full of a strong atmosphere of hooligans and scoundrels.
After waiting for the important ministers below to think for a while, Roland IX spoke: "The matter of the Burning Legion Demon Army should be true, this kind of thing is too easy to be exposed, now you can talk about what should be done?"
Dozens of old foxes in the entire political arena in the entire council hall are all scheming veterans, but in the face of such a straightforward rogue against the orcs, there is no good way for a while, and the scene is suddenly deadlocked.
In the end, it was a senior general in his sixties who spoke, this is one of the three military marshals of the Roland Empire, Field Marshal Erhard Milch, he said indignantly: "Your Majesty, this is the naked blackmail of those filthy orcs, and our military cannot accept such a humiliating agreement. ”
"Dear Marshal Erhard, I would like to ask if it is really as the orcs say, after they can't hold the line, don't know if our valiant soldiers can defeat the demon army of the Burning Legion?" the Minister of Civil Affairs immediately retorted.
The military generals present suddenly scolded in their hearts, isn't this nonsense? Although the Roland Empire claims to be one of the three major military powers in the Phila Continent, with a military strength of millions, they are a fart compared to the legendary Burning Legion that destroyed countless main plane worlds!
Looking at Marshal Erhard, who could not answer, the Minister of Civil Affairs shouted to Roland IX: "Your Majesty, I propose that this agreement be reached in moderation, but only if that rift in time and space must exist, and the orcs do not exaggerate it. ”
Before Roland IX could make a decision, some of the generals of the military stood up again, and the important ministers present for a while were divided into two factions, and it was basically the military and the civil ministers who quarreled with each other.
Except for Roland IX on the throne and Prince Eugen sitting at the head of the throne, everyone joined in the quarrel, until finally Roland IX coughed a few times, and everyone knew that His Majesty had made a decision, so they stopped.
"Let the dragon knight Manfred ride his throne dragon, take the intelligence minister Brig, and set off to the Blackstone Fort fortress together, after Manfred confirms the spatial rift, Bragg is fully responsible for negotiating the agreement, and those conditions that can be refused will be refused, and those who can't refuse will be reduced by half for me. Roland IX finally made a decision.
But Roland IX, who had no choice but to accept the orc's blackmail, clenched his fists tightly, and the exposed green tendons showed the anger in his heart, and he commanded his henchman Brig: "After signing the agreement, tell the lion emperor, just say that I said it, I want my Praetorian Guard and the orc army to fight a few battles." ”
"If we lose, we will increase the amount of money and money we promised to them, and if they lose, we will reduce it by one percent, and you ask him if he dares to do next. Roland IX gritted his teeth and said.
