After the Far Eastern Dynasty raised a large army and Doguland decided to counterattack, the desert region can be described as very noisy.

The Far Eastern Dynasty continued to seize the oasis as a stronghold, and the desert forces were unable to resist the million-strong army, and finally decided to form an alliance with Dogurand to jointly counterattack the Far Eastern invasion.

Recently, with the help of the leading forces of the desert forces, the main force of Doguland was stationed in the oasis stronghold like a tide, and quickly took control of the western part of the desert.

At the same time, the Far Eastern Imperial Army occupied the eastern part of the desert and continued to advance westward, and the spheres of influence of both sides were concentrated in the middle line, and when the soldiers of the front-line strongholds looked up, they could even faintly see the wolf smoke rising from the other side of the horizon, and the nearest vanguard troops on both sides were only dozens of miles away from each other.

The spirit of the officers and men of the two armies was like a taut string, and they did not dare to take off their armor when they rested at night, for fear that the vanguard of the other side would suddenly launch a surprise attack.

At sunrise the next day, Pertheus was on the front line, wearing the armor he had worn during his own expedition in the "Laurel War" 28 years earlier, and his eyes were calm and cold, like a mighty lion despite his old age.

Stine stood next to Pertheus, looked with him in the direction of the Far Eastern Army's station, and asked worriedly: "Are you really going?" ”

Persius nodded and said, "This is an invitation from the Emperor of the Far East, if through this conversation I can kill fewer soldiers and even prevent the imminent war, I have to go." ”

Sting put his hand on the old comrade's shoulder and said heavily, "We are all behind you. ”

Persius smiled slightly, patted Sting's arm for comfort, and then mounted his tall horse and headed towards the middle of the area under the escort of the imperial guards.

Not long ago, the Far Eastern Empire sent an invitation to the leaders of the two sides to hold one last negotiation before the start of the war - not for the messenger to pass the word to the other, but for the king and the emperor to talk face to face.

The situation has developed to the point where it can be said that the saber rattling is ready to fly, and the possibility of no conflict breaking out is very small, but in order to control the scale of the war as much as possible, Perseus was invited to accept this negotiation.

The negotiation between the two sides was chosen in an intermediate area that was not controlled by either party, and Perseus was full of sincerity, except for a dozen or so imperial guards who traveled together, there was no pomp and circumstance, and the fast people and horses came.

The Far East side was much more elaborate, with hundreds of negotiators, including 66 royal standard-bearers who held the royal yellow dragon flag on a yellow background, ran in a circle, planted the flag in the yellow sand, and then knelt down and bowed down like a resting wave.

Behind the array of standard-bearers, the huge Holy Seat of the Son of Heaven is carried by 24 royal servants, slowly walking towards the center, the main body of the Holy Seat is made of thousand-year-old sandalwood wood, and the famous craftsmen have carved out the pattern symbolizing the supreme imperial power on it, lifelike, the hovering five-clawed golden dragon is fierce and angry, as if it is about to break out of the Holy Seat and soar in the nine heavens.

A golden curtain hangs above the Holy Seat, which seems to be a golden flame under the sun's illumination, and the tall figure sits behind the curtain, only recognizable and invisible, and the mysterious and oppressive momentum is natural.

Thou shalt not look at the Son of Heaven - this is an ironclad rule in the imperial court, and this ancient rule is still in effect even when the leader is negotiating.

On both sides of the Holy See stood two figures wearing "four-clawed golden dragon robes", and on the right was an old man with vicissitudes of life, his beard was as white as the feathers of a crane, standing with his hands in his hands, and his deep eyes seemed to penetrate all the mortal things in the world.

Zhang Bufan, the current national teacher of the Far Eastern Dynasty, the head of the Yin and Yang Division, legend has it that this person refines rare spells in ancient and modern times, with magical powers of yin and yang, and boundless magic power, 28 years ago in the "Laurel War", it was this person who laid down the "Great Sumeru Nine Palaces Xuanhuo Array" in the royal city, and almost burned the capital of Dogurand, which had stood for 486 years.

Unlike the vast majority of generals, for Onmyoji, age and physical aging are not necessarily an obstacle to strength, and their mana may decline due to age, but with it, they also have experience in manipulating spells.

Older Onmyoji tend to learn more ancient spells than newer Onmyoji, and know how to use less mana to create more powerful spells.

Therefore, compared with 28 years ago, Zhang Bufan's strength is now even better.

Standing on the left side of the Holy Seat was a slender girl, her four-clawed golden dragon robe swaying with the wind, and her long black hair splashed like ink cut directly to her waist.

The girl had a rare pair of golden eyes, like a solitary sun carved into the sky, and if you looked closely, you would find that her vision was unfocused, and although she was looking at the negotiation team of Dorguland, she did not look at anyone, and it seemed that even King Perseus could not enter her eyes.

Among the Far Eastern Imperial Dynasties, the only person who can have such momentum is the number one master in the current Ouchi, the head of the Heavenly Hanging Division, Cangxuan, and the only person in the whole world who is qualified to enter the Holy Seat curtain and look at the Son of Heaven.

Compared with the Far Eastern Dynasty, the pomp and circumstance on Percius's side was obviously much weaker, there were no masters to suppress the formation, only a dozen imperial guards wearing closed heavy armor, but in a sense, this was also showing his sincerity.

No matter what was written in the previous battle book, and no matter how he built up momentum before the war, Percius knew very well in his heart that Ye Lingchen was killed in the kingdom, and this kind of thing should not happen no matter what.

Even if this imperial grandson really deserves death, he should be sent back to Yuandonggi in its entirety and punished by the emperor himself, which is the rule of the political game.

Now that such a ridiculous thing is happening, don't say who is at fault first, and don't care how justice is in the world, from a political point of view, Dogurand is at fault, so Perseus did not make such a big formation, but lowered his posture, which can be regarded as expressing his sincerity to the emperor of the Far East.

After the meeting between the two sides, Pertheus untied the bag hanging from the waist of the war horse, took out a pot of spirits and a wine glass, and said lightly: "I said goodbye 28 years ago, and now we meet again. ”

Pertheus filled his glass, drank it all in one gulp, poured it again, drank it again, poured it again, drank it again, drank it again, drank it again and drank it again, and drank it again and again for three glasses in a row.

Drinking three cups of oneself, whether in Doguland or the Far Eastern Dynasty, this is the meaning of punishing wine, and Pertheus can be regarded as putting his posture to the lowest point.

After drinking three glasses of wine, Perseus wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, looked up at the figure behind the curtain of the Holy See, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice was dull, but with the unique majesty of the king: "The greeting has also been beaten, and the wine has been drunk, what are the conditions, we will talk calmly and slowly, you and I will retreat first, how about it?" ”
