Chapter X: Treaties
The good times with Nina were always short-lived, and the days passed quickly, and Mars came to the mountain village as promised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You're looking good, you've been having a good time these days. ”
"yes, I don't have to think about anything, I don't have to do anything these days, it's really relaxing. If only I could live like this every day. ”
"Haha, I didn't expect you to say something like this, it seems that Nina is a good girl. ”
"That's not ...... Alright, let's get down to business. ”
"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think. I intend to send the Armenian army back to the Neuzer Pass, and then negotiate with the Armenias. I know that they are too short of resources and need trade, and I want to help them by providing some supplies for free first. However, we can't make Armenia think that we are easy to bully, so we should still fight. ”
"After you win, it's time for you to bring your sweetheart to Otser. ”
"Not really. You're so happy, I look at it and I'm greedy. ”
"So, how are you going to repel Armenia? I don't think I can use the second time last time, I was almost tired last time. And General Malik's combat skills are among the best of the enemies we've seen. ”
"After the last sneak attack, they should have learned a lesson, and their defense against magic should have been strengthened, maybe they also have many powerful magicians. However, with the two of us and the magical Rao, it will definitely be no problem to defeat their generals. The key was to get Armenia to abandon the attack with minimal casualties on both sides. ”
"How about hypnotizing everyone, and then using space magic to send everyone back?"
"Isn't that a huge amount of energy, where can I find it?"
"Isn't it okay to have a lot of crystals......"
"So how do you do hypnosis? There are so many people, and the wind is so strong there, and the hypnotic gas is not useless. ”
"Hmm...... What about not hypnotizing them, so that they can't see us, and then secretly use space magic?"
"It's not that they don't have magicians...... If this method is exposed, it will be difficult for the caster to escape. ”
"Then change your mind, like this attack on the royal palace, and go directly to the king of Armenia?"
"Father, that's caused by the people's grievances, and my father doesn't do his job, so it's easy for us to get it. The king of Armenia is not so faint, so it is better to deal with the people on their front line first, so that Armenia has no ability to attack Oshur again, and then it can be considered to achieve the goal. ”
"If there is really no way, use the thunderbolt. But I don't think it's good to take some risks. Eh, by the way, I tried the time magic you talked about the other day, and maybe it will work. ”
"Oh?"
"If you can see the past, why can't you see the future?"
The next day, together with Mars, I led a team of men and horses directly to the front.
"General Armstrong, how's the battle going on the front?" Mars asked.
"Well, since someone hit Armenia's camp hard not long ago, their attack has not been as good as before. By the way, this is Count Eric...... Well...... You...... Looks like you've been through a lot. ”
"It's okay. We are here to repel the Armenian army in one fell swoop, and we hope that you will cooperate. ”
"That definitely. The new king himself is overseeing the war, and there is no reason why we should not work harder. ”
"Anyway, we need the soldiers on the front line to attract firepower, and then we can hand it over to Count Eric. Earl...... Come on, let's go back and be promoted to duke. General Armstrong is also, after winning this battle, promotion and salary increase are indispensable. Okay, let's get started in the afternoon. ”
In the afternoon, all the soldiers of the front line were dispatched.
Before the march, Mars himself said: "Soldiers, this is no longer the case, we no longer need to fight in the traditional way. We now have the forerunner of magic, Duke Eric, who will use magic to help us win this battle without casualties, and we hope that everyone will cooperate. ”
The soldiers sighed.
"I know what you're trying to say. The previous generation of King Othur did not understand the facts, and everyone misunderstood Duke Eric. Now, I testify that Eric is the strongest magician and the pride of us at Orsher!"
The soldiers stopped talking.
"Alright, warriors, let's go!"
Everything went according to plan, and the soldiers of Armenia soon became entangled with those of Othur. Mars and I teleported to the heights.
"It's a familiar scene, Mars. "Sure enough, it's General Malik, and he's in front of us again. "But I heard you're king now. The king also drove the expedition himself, which was really hard. But last time, I have to calculate it this time. ”
"Then it's up to you to see if you're capable of it. Once again, Mars pulled out the Sword of End. This time the feeling was clearer, even though I had a strong sense of depression behind him.
"Looks like you're getting stronger, too. With that, Malik rushed over and tangled with Mars.
I took the opportunity to run away with my magic. I found a no-man's corner, tossed my wheelchair aside, and turned on the ancient magic mode while using invisibility magic on myself. I flew stealthily over the center of the battlefield and used a modified time magic.
The magic of time, which had been tested with Mars before coming, made everyone present feel the beauty of the future I wanted to create, and gradually lost the will to fight.
I found my place and immediately cast my time magic. The soldiers all stopped fighting, some quickly threw away their weapons, and some fell to their knees and wept. Probably, the future they felt that I was looking forward to was very good, and the soldiers experienced it firsthand in this beautiful dream. After I finished my magic, I snuck away, back in my wheelchair, and went to find Mars.
Mars and Malik also stopped, and it seems that everyone but me has been affected, and the next time I use this magic, I will have to control the intensity. But it didn't matter, I slapped Mars a few times, and then hurriedly cast the spatial magic as planned. This time the space magic was used on all of the Oter soldiers, opening portals at the feet of all of them and sending them all back to the camp. Of course, this is where the special crystal ornaments that the soldiers brought in advance come into play. These trinkets mark our soldiers and make it easier for me to unleash space magic.
After sending them away, Mars, who had come back to his senses, immediately used a second spatial magic to send all the Armenian soldiers back to Armenia. After all, I didn't know the terrain of Armenia, and I didn't know where to send them, so I left it all to Mars. It may be a bit of a struggle for him, but after all, he has a lot of responsibilities and will definitely do well.
Looking at the smile on Malik's face as he was sent away, my nervous heart finally relaxed, but Mars collapsed to the ground.
"It's a tiring job, and you can do it. I'm just going to make a big magic array, and you have to send it one by one, it's really hard for you. ”
"It's nothing to me, I hone my magic every day, just like you practice swords a lot. I'm just skilled. ”
"Hmm. It's getting late, so let's go back and prepare tomorrow's negotiation materials so that we can negotiate. ”
"Let's go. ”
I opened the portal and went back to the small mountain village together.
After dinner, Mars immediately returned to the palace, saying that he wanted to discuss it with Kauber. I'll probably have to go tomorrow too, and maybe talk about some magic deals.
The next day, I, Mars, Kaurbol, and Rao, who was temporarily the guard, went to the palace of Armenia.
We teleported directly to the palace and found the king of Armenia.
"Ah, you guys ......" Before they could react, I directly used time magic. If you control it this time, you will be protected from the magic of time.
Sitting on the throne must have been the king of Armenia, who was still slightly younger than Mars's father.
As the king of Armenia came to his senses, Mars stepped forward and said, "I am the new king of the kingdom of Othur, Mars Osser. Today we are here to negotiate, not to hurt you. As you may have just felt, this is the world we want to create, and I hope that the two countries can join forces to realize this dream. ”
"Mars, is your mother okay? she's my sister, and I haven't seen her for a long time. "The king of Armenia did not seem to be greatly frightened. Maybe he was holding his breath.
"My mother is fine. He spent his days with my father in a palace in the suburbs. You should have felt my father's mistakes, and as a son, I have an obligation to solve the problems he left behind. ”
"You know by now that I still have some connections with your family. I didn't want to start a war with ...... in the first place."
"I know that it was the problems of my grandfather's generation that caused your generation and even our generation to solve these troubles for them, and I am here to apologize for the elders. But now that it's history, let's move forward and move towards a better world together, okay?" Mars stepped forward and handed him a copy of the agreement that had been drawn up.
The others present had not yet relented, and it seemed that the king of Armenia was not an ordinary man.
He took the agreement and read it carefully.
"So, you want to open up trade between the two countries, and give Amenian material support free of charge?"
"Yes. I think we should be sincere, so please be sincere as well. For the sake of the future prosperity of both countries, please think about it. ”
He read the agreement roughly, thought about it for a moment, and said, "This is really an urgent need for us in Amenia. It seems that you really want to be good friends with us, and you have done a lot of homework in advance. ”
"That's nature. If you agree, we'll sign the agreement. I will fulfill my promise within a month. ”
"Of course. However, is it really too late for a month? The supplies are not ready. ”
"We've got Duke Eric, and we have a lot of great magic, and we can use magic to solve a lot of problems that were difficult to solve before. Of course, it is also written in the agreement that if our two countries can coexist peacefully, we are willing to provide some help with magic in the future. It is also for the peaceful coexistence of the two countries. ”
"Okay, okay, just do as you say. ”
The agreement was signed smoothly.
Soon, we regained lost ground, recaptured the Neuzel Plateau, and the border between the two countries returned to the Neuzer Pass. Mars quickly prepared supplies for Armenia and transported them with space magic. According to Mars, his sweetheart said that the king of Armenia often praised us Oser and praised Mars to his countrymen. The image of the Kingdom of Osser, in the hearts of the Armenian people, is also gradually changing, and Armenia is gradually on the right track.
Mars has re-established the Crystal R&D Department and Orser Academy, and Ulter Academy will admit students for free so that school-age children can get a better education. Of course, I was asked to go to the crystal research department, but I didn't like the research environment, and it would be more efficient to do my own research, so I refused. But I can't put it off the matter of Orshay's Academy, after all, I have become an authority on magic, and I always have to take responsibility for teaching others how to use magic properly. The content of the teaching is all basic magic assigned by Mars, after all, we still have some concerns. I also want to train a few people who are more suitable to teach and let them teach them, after all, I don't have three heads and six arms, and I don't have that much time to do the work of teaching well and study new magic.
Mars also established the Ministry of Agriculture. The work of the Ministry of Agriculture is mainly to use magic to improve crop seeds and deliver these seeds to various places for retail. With improved seed planting, crops are harvested more and farmers' living standards are improving. The younger generation of farmers now has the opportunity to learn the magic of agriculture, which has led to a rapid increase in crop yields and a boost to the economy of Othur.
As they became more and more materially affluent, other citizens were gradually able to rely on their own jobs, be fed and clothed, and save a lot of money to do what they wanted. With magic, it only takes a few days to build tall buildings, and compared to the original Othur Kingdom, Ulter is changing with each passing day and developing really fast.
Material life has become abundant, and spiritual life has gradually become the pursuit of the people. The Underground Arena was the first to become a hot topic, and the citizens of Domir City rushed to buy tickets to the Underground Arena, which is now really hard to find. Mars felt that the underground arena was the dark side of the world after all, and it was not appropriate for the public to participate in it, but since this form had attracted many people, he obeyed the wishes of the public and prepared to build an open arena on the ground.
In just one year, the citizens of the Kingdom of Oser have basically lived a happy life. This is really thanks to Mars's good governance. In the blink of an eye, on the first anniversary of Mars's coronation, the streets of the royal capital were filled with festivities. That night, Nina and I also came to the festival on the street.
"What a coincidence, I met the little couple again. "When I turned around, it was really Rao. But Rao wasn't alone, and Sheska was by his side.
"yes, I didn't expect the two of you to develop so fast. I said.
"Oh yes, I still have something to tell you. He turned his head and said to Sheska again, "You go shopping with Duke Eric's wife first, and I'll go to you when I'm done with him." ”
"No, I'm going to hang out with you. Sheska pouted.
"Well, I'll surprise you in a moment. ”
"Well, then I'm looking forward to this surprise. Chescara took Nina's hand and went shopping.
Rao and I found a quiet alley and struck up a conversation.
"When did Nina become my wife......
"Alright, don't worry about that, it's not a matter of time or time. I want to tell you that the other day, I pulled out a book at home, and it said that this world is not only our continent, but also on the other side of the distant sea, and there are many continents, and some of the people there also use magic. I think I can team up and have a look if I have the chance. But until then, I think we should get Oter and Torem on good terms. When the affairs of our continent are all done, we are trying to find a way to go on an expedition. ”
"yes, okay. But we don't know Torem very well, so we need to think about it in the long run. ”
"That's what you really think?" Suddenly, a voice came from the shadows, and Rao and I immediately prepared for battle. "It's me. He walked forward, and through the light on the street, he could vaguely see that it was zero. "I have something to say to you. ”
It was late at night, but the festivities weren't over, so Rao and I found them and went shopping together.
"Rao, what about the surprise?" questioned Sheska.
"Oh, look at the heavens. Rao pointed to the sky, and Sheska followed the direction of his finger.
Nina and I couldn't help but look up. Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared in the sky, and the light gradually changed to the words "I love you".
Sheska suddenly jumped up excitedly and hugged Rao, and Nina and I were both startled.
Suddenly, music played, and men and women in the street formed pairs and danced. Sheska heard the music and dragged Rao into the crowd and danced with the others. I felt Nina holding my hand tightly, turned my head, and just tried to comfort Nina, only to find her quietly in tears.
"Stop feeling sorry for me. When I go back, I'll surprise you too. I comforted. That being said, I don't know what to surprise her.
Without saying hello to Rao, the two of us went back.
The bright moonlight reflected our figures, and the evening breeze rustled the leaves. In a flash of inspiration, I took her hand and lifted us off the ground and into the night sky with the help of the evening breeze. Nina exclaimed in amazement, and I drove us up to great heights in one go. The surrounding mountains became the stage, and the two of us danced in the air. Seeing her smile made me feel much better.
Fantastic evenings are always unforgettable. Nina was still unsatisfied, but she was also tired of playing, collapsed on the bed, and soon fell asleep. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw her fall asleep smiling.
But in the bright moonlight, I had to face the harsh reality again, so I packed up my things and prepared to leave for Toreem.
