Chapter 885: Agreement (I)
A few days later, sure enough, some news came one after another. Among the coastal kingdoms, there are already three kingdoms that have signed peace agreements with the elves. All of a sudden, people's hearts were in turmoil.
"I really didn't expect that these human kingdoms would compromise so quickly, my lord is really wise!" Some of the elders who had been reluctant to negotiate peace had also changed their views.
In the great temple, the altar is mutual, the light is flickering, the great elder kneels in front of the statue, and prays to the exhibition, on the statue, the holy light is a **, this is Anion is listening to the report. ...... At present, there are already three kingdoms in the coastal kingdoms of mankind, and they have signed peace agreements with our people......"
"Very good!" Anion's low and majestic voice sounded in the Great Temple, "What are the other human kingdoms doing?"
"My lord, the other human kingdoms have always held a wait-and-see attitude before, neither immediately agreeing nor immediately opposing it, but after the agreement between the three kingdoms is signed, these wait-and-see kingdoms will surely take certain actions. The Great Elder knelt on the ground respectfully and said in return.
"Of the nine kingdoms along the coast, three kingdoms have signed an agreement, and at least half of them can be signed, but if they do not sign, they will be beaten by force until they succumb. The idol of Anion said coldly. "Yes, my lord!" the Great Elder replied respectfully after receiving the divine metaphor, which was also what he was thinking.
Seeing that the statue of the god was sinking, the great elder waited respectfully, and after half an hour, seeing that there were really no other gods, it retreated respectfully.
Although it is not a good thing that God frequently intervenes in the world, it is now that everything has been built, it will be rewarded. The elven kingdom must maintain a high degree of alignment with the heavenly gods in order to cope with the current situation. "Great Elder, what is the myth of our lord?" Several elven elders who were waiting outside the hall gathered when they saw the Great Elder come out and said inquiringly. "My lord said, If anyone refuses to sign, let him be smitten by force until he submits. The Great Elder stood in place and said indifferently. "Yes, we will obey my lord's will!" Hearing the divine words conveyed by the Great Elder, the elven elders present immediately bowed their heads respectfully and expressed their obedience.
"However, before that, it is better to get more human kingdoms to voluntarily sign an agreement with us. The Great Elder walked to the side of the main seat and sat down: "After all, peace negotiation is our main goal. An elder also sat down and said, "It depends on whether the other envoys are doing their job effectively." "How many kingdoms have not signed the agreement a few days ago?" the Grand Elder asked. "There are nine human kingdoms along the coast, of which three have signed agreements with us, and six kingdoms have not yet signed. The elder replied.
"These six human kingdoms, if you want to break each one, it is obviously not easy, wait a minute, my lord also said just now, as soon as the three human kingdoms are allied with us, the other kingdoms will definitely make a choice, I think, there will be human kingdoms and we will sign a peace agreement. The Great Elder said with certainty. "However, military preparations must be carried out in advance, and the training of the sea fleet cannot be slowed down for a day, you know?" After the Great Elder finished speaking, he looked at the elders, all of whom nodded and agreed to his proposal. So, hopefully, the island will be busy again.
The other six coastal countries that received the news that the three coastal countries had signed a peace agreement with the elves had mixed reactions.
First of all, it was the Kingdom of Eske, before receiving this news, the old king lived every day like a year.
He is an umbrella father, but he is a king first, and the death of his son His Royal Highness Husenya in battle made him ten years old all of a sudden, and he hates the elves, there is no doubt about it, but he is also a king, and he is more responsible for the Kingdom of Esker. The old king walked in the flower-garden with his hands behind his back. The king's attendants protected him from afar, and did not dare to get too close to him, for fear of disturbing his thoughts. "The third and fourth fleets have been completely wiped out, and my son Xiu Senya has also died in battle, and there are no generals!" As soon as he thought of his son Xiu Senya's death, the old king's face was gloomy and terrible.
Xiu Senya is not only his son, but also the crown prince of the Esker Kingdom, and the future king of the Eske Kingdom, such a person is not something that can be cultivated casually.
The old king poured too much effort into this son's body, and he saw that he had been cultivated, but in a naval battle, there was no dead body. How can the old king accept this emotionally?
If it is purely from personal feelings, he really wants to kill all the elves, at least the elves who came to the royal capital, and immediately execute all of them. But for the sake of the royal family and the kingdom, he could only forcibly suppress this resentment.
"But choosing a peace agreement like this is really unwilling!" "The thought of negotiating peace with the elves made the old king's heart feel panicked, and then, he smiled bitterly: "I can't imagine that I will make a decision for the rest of my life, and when I get old, I will still be so emotional!"
As he pondered the question in the garden, the Foreign Secretary hurried over in the distance.
Far away, he appeared with the palace attendants who were patrolling here, and hurriedly grabbed one and asked, "Is His Majesty in the garden?" "Please help me with this, I have something urgent to report to Your Majesty." The Foreign Secretary said.
Although he was a powerful minister, in a place like this, at a time like this, it was better to have someone to communicate with him. "Your Excellency, please wait. The squire nodded, and walked inside. After a while, the attendant walked out: "My lord, please come in, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside." Nodding to the attendant, the Foreign Secretary stepped in. A dignified foreign minister, why should he be so polite with a small attendant, there are many connotations in it.
First of all, the ministers have a high status, but they are not the ones who accompany the king at all times, and dealing well with the people around the king is a thing that a minister must learn.
Powerful nobles don't have to be like this, but for them court nobles, glory and wealth, all pinned on the royal family, have to be like this.
Moreover, these attendants in the palace who protect the king are not from ordinary families, each of them is a real noble child, and those who can serve in front of the king for a long time are all counts and above among the nobles of the court. In fact, the Foreign Secretary's own son is also an attendant in it.
There is such a relationship, and they are all polite to each other.
When I walked into the garden, I saw the king, dressed in civilian clothes, standing in front of a flower bed with his back to him.
The Foreign Minister hurriedly walked over and saluted: "Your Majesty." ”
"Well, you're here. The king turned and his gaze lingered on his face: "I heard that you have an urgent report?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, my subordinates have received the latest news, saying that there are already three coastal kingdoms that have signed a peace agreement with the elves!" said the Foreign Secretary.
"Have there already been three kingdoms signed?" After hearing the news, the king fell into deep thought.
It was a long time before the king raised his head and looked at the foreign secretary. "Help me invite the elven messenger into the palace.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean ......"
"I decided, to sign a peace agreement with them. The king's face was not very good-looking, but when he said his good fortune, his tone was very decisive.
It's been emotionally charged for half a month, and it's time to make a decision.
The king thought so.
"Yes, I'll go and please. The Foreign Secretary hurriedly said.
"Wait a minute. The king stopped him and coldly ordered: "When you get there, don't reveal a little bit of tone, since you want to sign an agreement, you must get more benefits, as a foreign minister, you should understand this!" The reason for the delay, in addition to feelings, is more important, this is the intention.
Fiercely stared at by the king's sharp gaze, the foreign minister only felt a chill, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know this very well. "Well, well, that's it, you can go now, and invite the envoy now." "Yes, Your Majesty. The Foreign Secretary replied respectfully.
Straight to his departure, looking at the back of the foreign minister who was leaving quickly, the old king's mood slowly calmed down.
"Xiu Senya, please forgive me, it's not my father, I won't avenge you, it's really ...... It had to be so!" There was only a sigh in the air, and the king walked towards his palace with a slight staggering step.
Half a month later, the five kingdoms represented by the Kingdom of Eske also signed peace agreements with the elves one after another.
Of the nine coastal countries, there is only one country that has not signed a peace agreement with the elves, that is, the kingdom of Hyput, which is blessed by the god of the sea, and even the kingdom that intercepted and killed the elves at the beginning, after paying some price, signed a peace treaty with the second group of elves. Only the kingdom of the god of the sea, the kingdom of Haiput, refused.
The sea god is an arrogant and tyrannical god in legend, as if contaminated with his character, and the kingdom of Haipt is also an arrogant country. In this matter, they took an extremely tough attitude and put to death all the elven messengers who came. Lomon, who was in the royal capital, heard the news and was thoughtful. "The sea god is the god who controls the ocean, and the elves rely on the ocean, it seems that the running and implicit content are really deep!"
Not to mention Romong's deliberations, after signing a peace agreement with the elves in the other eight countries, the elves have already announced: "Unconditionally allow the passage of the fleets of these eight countries, reopen the sea trade, and only strike at any fleet of the Heput Kingdom!"
The Kingdom of Xihaiput also immediately said: "Relying on the divine power of my lord, I will wait for the elves to be on the sea, and I will allow an inch-!"
The smell of gunpowder once again permeated the sea.
