The fact that all 5,000 Templars were killed overnight is terrifying to think about. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Peter was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and muttered, "This ...... How is this possible? If we can kill all the 5,000 Templar troops overnight, how many troops and horses has the Wind Army deployed? Why do we have no idea about such a large-scale troop movement of the Wind Army?"

With the combat power of the Templar army, if you want to annihilate all 5,000 people, you need to mobilize at least 50,000 troops.

Seeing Peter's gaze towards him, the general in charge of the investigation hurriedly stood up and said with an ugly face: "Back to Your Majesty, during this time, there has been no change in the wind army!"

"What? The Wind Army has not moved? Do you mean that it is not the Wind Army that wiped out the 5,000 Templars?"

"No, this must have been done by the Wind Army, it's just ......"

It's just that the wind army really hasn't moved, there really hasn't been a large-scale transfer of troops, and when it comes to Prometheus, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, there is a slight disturbance, and they must not be able to hide the eyes of the scouts under their command. The fact that this time happened is too weird.

He took a deep breath and said, "I am willing to guarantee with my life, during this time, there will be no situation where the wind army will leave the camp!"

"Who killed the Templar army of the 5,000 people? Could it be that the Wind Army grew wings and flew directly to Prometheus?"

Peter was so angry that he even slapped the table case, and his own intelligence failed, but after such serious consequences, he was still a dead duck, which is too hateful.

The Besa general bowed his head and did not answer. He really couldn't figure out what was going on.

The main battle faction that has always advocated a tough stance against the Feng Army, the Minister of the Interior, Safron Avlek, suddenly said: "We can't fight this battle anymore, we can't afford to fight, we can't win it, Your Majesty, it is imperative to negotiate peace with the Feng Army immediately!"

No one expected that Savron would be able to say such a thing at this time. Peter frowned, stared at him for a long time, and asked, "Is even Count Afleck frightened by the Wind Army?"

Savron looked at Peter with a deep gaze, shook his head slowly, and said nothing. Now the situation is obvious, they have no understanding of the Wind Army, and the Wind Army knows their movements well.

He didn't think that the Wind Army's intelligence system had covered the entire Bessa Country, and that the Wind Army would know so much about their own movements, and there was only one explanation for this, that there were ministers in the royal court who were secretly communicating with the Wind Country and secretly reporting to the Wind Army.

And the entire Goro City has long been blocked, the people outside can't get in, and the people inside can't get out, but the people who have an affair with the Feng Army can still pass on the news unconsciously and accurately to the hands of the Feng Army, that must be a high-ranking person, and Sa Fulong doesn't dare to continue to think about it.

In this case, if you can still defeat the Wind Army, then it will be a ghost! If you continue to be tough on the Wind Army, Goro will only have the end of the city being destroyed and people will be destroyed. Saffron has now completely lost the confidence and fighting spirit to resist the wind army.

As the leader of the main battle faction, Savron took the initiative to propose peace, which was tantamount to a slap in the face to those ministers of the main battle faction, people looked at each other, and finally lowered their heads in unison, no one stood up to speak, obviously, everyone also acquiesced to Savron's proposal.

People know in their hearts that relying on the current military strength of Goro City alone, it is impossible to resist the attack of the Wind Army alone, and their only hope is the reinforcements of the northern city-states, but now the reinforcements are all frightened back by the Wind Army, and Goro City has no hope, and it is really a dead end.

"Brother Wang, Count Afrek is right, let's make peace with the wind people!" Will Prologis showed a worried and pessimistic look of despair, and said meaningfully: "Now that we negotiate peace, we still have the capital to bargain with the wind army at the negotiation table, and if we delay it any longer, we will ...... I'm afraid we don't have any capital. ”

Peter looked at Will, and then at the people present, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh. In the huge kingdom of Besa, they have always been the only ones who bully others, but now they are being bullied by others to such a field, which is sad to think about. Peter's sigh was like an invisible whip, slamming on the back of everyone present, whether it was a civilian official or a military general, they all hung their heads at this time, not daring to look at Peter's expression at this time, and they had no shame to look at it.

"Good. Peter, leaning back, sat on the broad throne, looking old and shriveled.

He whispered weakly: "Since you all accept the peace, then, let's make peace with the Wind Man!" As he spoke, he turned his eyes to Savron and said, "Count Avleck, the matter of peace with the Wind Man is in your charge, and you don't need to ask me for the specific details, just tell me the final result." With that, Peter slowly stood up, stepped down from the throne, and walked towards the inner chamber of the hall.

Entering the inner chamber, Peter went limp, and collapsed downward, and if it weren't for the quick reaction of the attendants on the left and right, who supported him in time, the old king would have to sit on the floor by this time.

Holding his arm, people realized that the clothes on his body were damp, which were soaked with sweat.

As the king of a country, as long as he still has a little face, as long as he is not so brazen as to be shameless, then if there is a glimmer of hope, as long as there is a little way, he will not tolerate his country signing such a peace treaty of land and reparations.

Peter really has nothing to do now, really has nothing to do.

The annihilation of the Templar army directly caused the northern city-state armies to retreat, and the retreat of the northern city-states directly caused the royal court of Besa to completely despair, and had to give up illusions and resistance, and accept peace with the wind army.

It was such an inconspicuous little battle in Prometheus that became the straw that broke the camel's back.

Of course, with the combat strength of the city-state army of Besa, even if the twelve reinforcements all rushed to Goro, it is not known whether they can really defeat the wind army in the end, but history has no ifs, and the battle of Prometheus has also become the last battle of the war between the two countries.

In the next few days, the royal court of Besa finally stopped playing tricks and began to negotiate a real peace with the Wind Army.

On the Besa side, it was not only Sa Fulong who participated in the peace negotiations, but also the main ministers of the court and the central government, and even the eldest prince Lance Prologis also participated.

On the side of the Wind Army, the people who participated in the negotiation were naturally Shangguan Xiu and the generals of the Yiganzhen County Army, Tang Ling did not show up, to be exact, only Will Pros knew that Tang Ling was in the camp of the Wind Army, and the other Bessars did not know about this matter at all, and they all thought that after the defeat of the Wind Army in Sail City, Tang Ling had fled back to the Wind Country.

It can be seen that the Bessa, who have lost hope, are serious at the negotiating table, and on the matter of how to draw up a peace treaty between the two sides, the Besa people are almost a word-by-word argument, and they do not allow any contemptuous or humiliating words in the peace treaty.

The question of reparations for defeat alone was debated by both sides for a whole day. According to the conditions of the wind people, the amount of the indemnity should be clearly stated in the peace treaty, and the Besa people did not agree to include the amount of the indemnity in the content of the peace treaty, and there should not even be such a word as indemnity in the peace treaty.

Saffron proposed that the Bessa State could cede Nasikia to the Windy Country, but in the terms of the peace treaty, it should be stated that it was a sale, not a cession, and as for the compensation demanded by the Windy State, no matter what the amount was, it was the amount that the Bessa State sold Nashikya, and the two sides offset it.

Since the compensation demanded by Shangguan Xiu is 200 million silver coins, then the price at which Besa sold Nasikeya is also 200 million silver coins. All in all, the Bessa Nation will not pay another copper coin to the Windy Nation.

Regarding the reparation, Shangguan Xiu did not argue with the Besa people to the end, and he did not value the reparations of the Besa country, what he wanted most was only Naxikya. In the end, Shangguan Xiu made a concession and agreed to Sa Fulong's request.

Therefore, the country of Besa obviously ceded Nasikia to the country of wind, but what was written in the peace treaty between the two countries was a sale, and in this matter, the country of Besa fought for face at that time, but everyone who negotiated did not think about it, and this face at the moment has brought endless trouble to future generations. Unequal treaties can be abolished, and the land that was forced to be ceded to others back then can also be regained by relying on strong military and national strength in the future, and it is different to sell it, since you were willing to sell it to others, and it is clearly written in black and white, how can you ask for it from others in the future?

At the negotiating table, a good start was made, and Besa's ministers were greatly encouraged and excited. The focus of the next negotiation fell on the matter of the garrison of the Wind Country in Mulun City.

Negotiations between the two sides began in the morning, and after a day of verbal warfare, no result could be reached.

It is a great shame for the armies of other countries to garrison their own troops, and how can the people of Besa accept it willingly?

In the matter of garrisoning, Safron and others behaved more toughly than the matter of reparations, and they did not agree to the stationing of troops in Besa by the Wind Country. And for this matter, Shangguan Xiu is also extremely tough and refuses to back down.

The garrison of Mulun City involves the tangible interests of the Wind Country. First of all, it can buy a nail in the territory of Besa so that the Besa people will not dare to act rashly, and secondly, it can prevent the eastward expansion of Ningnan and compress the power of Ningnan within Duki.

Thirdly, and most crucially, the garrison in Mulun City is to provide an umbrella for the city-state of Solan. If, after the war, the Wind Army ignores the Solan City-State that is close to its own side and leaves it to fend for itself, which city-state will dare to make friends with the Wind State in the future? How can the Wind Country still support the city-states that tend to be close to their own side in Besa?

If you do not divide the city-states within the kingdom of Besa, but unite them, then the invasion of Nashik Asia by your own side will not only be a blessing, but a disaster, which will lead to a long-term war between the two countries, and the country of wind will be mired in war.

Shangguan Xiu didn't want to be a sinner for the ages who only wanted to be happy for a while, and then troubled future generations. What's more, the real target of the Wind Country is not in the north, but in Ningnan in the west. Putting too many troops and energy into the north will only make Ningnan grow more rapidly.
