Towards sunset the next day, a report of the theft of the legendary mage's legacy was urgently presented to the Viking Palace.

The thieves took away most of the resources that could be taken from the magic tower, and even the tower spirit of the magic tower disappeared, and it was possible that it was destroyed while defending against the invaders, but if it was the latter case, the other party could break through the tower spirit defense in such a short time without destroying the tower, I am afraid that even a legendary mage would be difficult to do.

All that remains in the magic tower is a magic device like the elemental pool that is connected to the entire magic tower and provides the source power for the magic tower, so it cannot be taken away, and no matter how powerful the thief is, it is still not strong enough to steal the entire magic tower.

There was also a small half-plane of the legendary mage, which could not be stolen, and the only entrance was indeed placed somewhere inside the tower, but unfortunately, it was also ransacked by thieves.

This was a huge loss, and there was no evidence left at the scene, the only thing that could be confirmed was that there should be at least two more thieves, because the royal guard who was sent to monitor was shot with a bow and arrow, but he showed signs of being plotted with a soul walk before his death.

Finally, it was reported that if you want to find this thief, it is not enough to rely on the current clues, and you need to rely on the traces of time to further find this hateful thief.

The report was exhaustive, but Sauron didn't have time to pay attention to it right now.

It's not that the theft of Orwyn's magic tower doesn't matter, but now, right before him, the Viking Palace is again arguing about the Plane of Fadell and Asturias's answer.

More than ten days ago, the Asturians officially rejected the Empire's demand to stop trade.

After the news reached the Vikings, Sauron's courtiers split into factions regarding Fadel's affairs. Except for some who refused to take a stand. The ministers, who were good friends with the two princes, happened to be on two sides.

News from Asturias. Edward had already rejected Titania's request.

The second prince Gallon and the captain of the White Dragon Legion were very angry at this, and the prince of Gallon allowed him to make a move on the Asturians and erase them directly from the map of Fadell, and the Minister of Commerce, Valente, was a little more modest, but also insisted on completely blocking the operation of Asturian in Fadel after crushing the resistance of the natives, forcing the Argentines out of the Fadell plane and making them regret what they had done now, which is a hardliner who advocates hardliners.

The eldest prince was adamantly opposed to war. Tell Sauron what is at stake. In the past, Titania has always faced pressure from the Church of Light, an organization that is not a country but is better than a state, and can unite the forces of most Terran countries on this continent, but it has never given up its coveting of Titania's royal power. Although Titania is strong, it has always been alone, until Edward, the current king of Asturias, angered the Holy See because of his marriage, which was actually a backlash caused by the church's excessive involvement in the affairs of the kingdom, which can be regarded as sharing part of the pressure of Titania.

Moreover, purely in terms of national strength, although Titania is better than Asturias. But if you resort to force, it will definitely be a consequence of killing 1,000 enemies and self-harming 800. Moreover, the Terran country began to rebel against the High Elves, and later competed with the Orcs for continental supremacy, and there was very little infighting, and Titania had to fight with Asturias for Fadel, which was too much to implement.

The military undersecretary of Titania also came out to echo the opinion of the eldest prince Tristan, and deduced it for everyone. The first is the consequence of the war with Asturias on the mainland, even if Asturias is suppressed, the greatest possibility is to force it back to the side of the Church; if the use of force is restricted in Fadel, it may repeat the quagmire of the original Farucion, in the battle of that plane, it is because the two countries do not give in to each other, and as a result, both pay a higher price to achieve the goal, this time in Fadel, no one dares to guarantee that if the Asturians are tried to expel the Asturians directly by force, the other side will not be reinforced accordingly to fight against it。

Once this situation is formed, although the war is isolated from the mainland and limited to a local war similar to Farucion, but when it comes to fighting, coupled with the exterminating aborigines, I am afraid that Titania's plan to mine black rock and collect other resources in Fadell will come to naught.

The truce in Farusion was not a compromise reached by both sides realizing that it would not be of much benefit to both sides except for the cheap natives.

The most important thing is that from Farusion to the current Fadell, if they meet in other planes in the future, there is only one choice between the two countries to fight to the death first.

Therefore, Tristan may wish to consider the open door policy proposed by the Count of Asturias earlier, at least he can have a try in the Fadel Throne, if the confrontation stops, first crush the resistance of the natives of the plane according to the principles jointly formulated, and then distribute the benefits according to certain principles, it may not be an attempt that is beneficial to each other.

For the idea of the eldest prince, Prince Garon refused to agree, because if it was implemented according to Tristan's intentions and succeeded, then at least half of the credit of the Fadell plane would be given to Tristan, and maybe the military and political power of the ruling plane would be divided, and of course the second prince would not.

It's a pity that the situation in the Fadell plane is not very willing to support Prince Garon.

When Titania was struggling to make a decision because of Asturias' refusal, in the Fadel plane, the Titanians' war against the natives did not stop, but the progress that came made Titania a headache.

In fact, after a few months of using the firearms they had traded to inflict on the Hobro Legion, the Faddell natives had a taste of the sweetness and morale boosted, and they continued to buy a lot of firearms and bullets on credit from the Asturians.

In the course of the ensuing war, Titania won many battles, but the problem was that the aborigines really resisted very strongly, especially the role of religion, whether it was the renewed support of the Temple of Mana, or the appearance of the god of war priest among the aborigines, the latter Titanians have been able to affirm that the god of war belief among the aborigines originated in Asturias Padarek Church, but the cunning Asturians insist that the aborigines were inspired by the god of war in the process of trade to become believers, and then produced priests。 The proof is that the Asturians did not appear on the battlefield. Only the aboriginal priests who believed in the god of war, Padarek, survived.

And Padarek's beliefs are very extensive. The people of Titania have a large number of God of War believers and priests in the army, in fact, if it were not for the fact that the God of War Church originated in Astuas and was not the native religion of Titania, and the God of War did not prohibit his followers and priests from fighting each other, Titania might even consider the belief of Lepadarik as the state religion to suppress the Church of Light.

As long as the Asturians refused to cut off trade, there was religious encouragement in the presence of foreign aid. The resistance of the aborigines has always been constant, even in areas that have been occupied by Titania, there will be special teams formed by the aborigines to liberate their compatriots who have been forced into labor by aliens.

Of course, the casualties of the aborigines are also very large, but the Titanians also feel that they are about to be overwhelmed, unless further elite troops are drawn from other places, it is not enough to completely solve the problem by simply transferring second-line legions and local guard regiments as they are now.

Therefore, on the thirteenth day after the theft of the Magic Tower, that is, on the twenty-eighth day after Solomon left St. Quentin, when the Fadell plane went through another major battle and two smaller battles, Emperor Sauron finally decided to adopt the construction of the Great Prince Tristan. Discuss the open door policy with Asturias.

When Solomon returned to St. Quentin, he immediately accepted the assignment. As a special envoy, he cooperated with the Duke of Bourbon as a deputy to negotiate the open door policy.

The two countries are engaged in a heated debate over the meaning and scope of the Open Door policy, with Solomon's representative of Asturias wanting to extend the Open Door to all aspects of the two countries, at least to all planes that share borders or common interests except the mainland, while Tristan, according to Sauron, is currently willing to limit the scope to Fadell and not to any other plane, let alone promise to refer to this policy in the future.

There is a grapevine that the prince Tristan privately apologized to Count Solomon for this position of the Titanians, because he is personally in favor of extending the open door policy to other planes except the homeland, which can reduce the confrontation between the two countries in the heteroplane, and even form a common interest against others. Unfortunately, the imperial decree granted by Emperor Sauron did not allow him to make such a promise.

Eventually, three days later, the two countries reached an agreement to jointly enforce the Open Door policy on the Fadell plane.

The main content of the agreement is that Asturias will no longer provide any military support or trade related to the war to the Fadel natives, but the two countries will be united in their position to demand that the natives accept the rule of the advanced civilization.

The advantage that Asturian can get is that the Titanians recognize the ownership and exploitation rights of the mines, forests and other resources sold to the Asturians by the indigenous people during the previous trade, and if they have not been developed, the merchants of the two countries will bid fairly, and if they have been acquired by the Titanian merchants, they will allow the Asturian merchants to take a stake in the joint operation.

Both countries recognize that from now on they have an indisputable right to rule over the land that Fadell has already occupied and the land they will occupy in the future, but that the merchants of the two countries have equal rights in commerce and trade, specifically in the area of the two countries in the Fadel plane, the tax rate and freight of goods shall not be imposed to protect their own goods, but the tariff shall be charged at the current rate of the aborigines, and in future actions, the two countries shall also take the same position and have equal interests, and the merchants of both countries shall have the right to compete on fair terms for the benefit of any aboriginal opening to one of the countries。

The implications of this agreement are far-reaching.

The most direct impact was that Fadell Development Co., Ltd. immediately stopped selling firearms, bullets, grain, seeds, woolen fabrics, woolen textiles, cotton, cotton textiles and other commodities to the aborigines, and immediately demanded that the aborigines pay off the money they owed in advance.

Poor natives, whose treasury has long been emptied, where can they still take it, but the temple of Mana still holds a lot of wealth, but they will never agree to give it to the strangers.

Therefore, Asturias allowed Fadell Pioneer Co., Ltd. to declare war on the aborigines on the grounds that the aborigines had violated the commercial agreement and failed to repay their debts, and would work with the Titanians to crusade against the Fadel natives, and claim their due benefits and compensation through the means of war.

The Fadell War has since entered a new phase.

On the other hand, from the day the two countries announced that they had agreed to jointly implement the open-door policy, the price of one commodity on the San Quentin Exchange only increased, not fallen, and that was the stock of Fadell Plane Development Ltd.

By the day Fadell Pioneers had declared war on the Fardell Plane Natives, the stock price had nearly doubled, and as long as someone was willing to throw it, someone was sure to take over. (To be continued......)
