Section 222 The First Ambergris War (32)
After the Luna fled, it was impossible for the High Elves to turn defeat into victory, but it would be very difficult for the multinational coalition to destroy the elves.
Although the sun god Sindorem was defeated together, he and the moon god Diana still caused terrible casualties to the multinational coalition army, not only the casualties of the servant armies of the countries, but also the domestic army suffered heavy casualties, and even the source force gun army was reduced a lot, and died from the burning of the solar god's magic power.
And in the realm of the moon god Diana, the High Elves have been greatly restored, and if the multinational coalition intends to exterminate the High Elves, even if the other party faces it head-on like now, it will make the countries pay a considerable price.
Moreover, it is impossible to have such an ideal, and once the High Elves abandon all their cities and completely retreat into the forest, it will be very troublesome to clear them.
However, after the battle of the River of Awakening, the High Elves had no fighting spirit, and Altanes sent a messenger to sue for peace, hoping that the war would end and that the multinational coalition forces would not cross the River of Awakening.
As a condition, the High Elves recognized the right to continue trading with several cities on the east coast.
Of course, such conditions could not satisfy the countries, so after discussion, the four countries put forward conditions to the elven royal court, demanding that the east coast city of Mochizuki City be used as a public concession for the countries, and the countries would establish a fixed teleportation channel here, and heavily defended, and the high elves were not allowed to attack and interfere, otherwise it would be regarded as provoking a war.
In addition, Silvermoon City, Oak Leaf City, Muward City, and Fiji City (to be rebuilt) were opened as treaty ports, and each country had the right to station diplomats and a certain number of troops in these four cities, but it was not allowed to establish a teleportation route. In the Appeal City and its vicinity, the High Elves must follow the rules of free trade. The trade in ambergris and other commercial trade shall no longer be prohibited. It is also not allowed to be taxed in addition to the normal tax.
The High Elves must compensate for the damage caused to the nations by the previous seizure and destruction of the ambergris. The High Elves must also pay for the cost of the war in the countries, which is also denominated in Mithril coins, and the actual repayment can be paid after the acceptance of other equivalent resources.
In terms of faith and proselytizing, Mochizuki Castle, a public concession, was allowed to build temples for other gods, and the other four treaty cities allowed pagans who were not the main elven gods to settle and did not interfere with their beliefs.
In terms of justice and crime, the countries originally proposed that the citizens of the countries commit crimes. The elves were not allowed to be tried, but this was sternly rejected by the elves, and finally after bargaining, the high elves did not have the right to arrest and try in the public concession, and in the other four treaty ports, the arrest must also be notified to the diplomatic consul stationed in the city, and the trial must also be attended by the diplomatic consul, and if it involves a possible death sentence, a collegial panel must be formed.
The High Elves eventually agreed to this treaty, which is also known as the Ambergris Treaty because the war was fought over the trade in ambergris.
The signing of the Champris Treaty ended the First Ambergris War. Titania, Asturias, Aurora, Saxon, and even the Church of Light may not be really satisfied. But due to the situation, I don't plan to fight anymore, otherwise the cost will be too great.
Solomon also accepted it when he saw it, although the sun god was gone, but the moon god was still there, it was not easy to exterminate the high elves, and if the high elves abandoned the city and fought guerrilla warfare completely, it would also be a headache.
And just like now, it's a headache for the High Elves.
Because the High Elves agreed to these terms for the sake of a truce, their relationship with their allies became very difficult.
Moreover, although the countries decided to withdraw their troops, the war did not leave the Emerald Continent, and of course Solomon would not give the High Elves a chance to recover.
Next, the Lords took advantage of the opportunity of trade and continued to import goods, including ambergris cream, from the Emerald Continent to the resources they needed.
Although the High Elves already know the dangers of ambergris, if this war is won, they can still completely cut off the ambergris, and if they are defeated, it may not be possible. One is that there are endless sources, and the ambergris paste will always be imported, and the second is the aftermath of the war, the glory of the High Elves is no longer there, their dignity is trampled, their glory is abandoned, and even the ancient allies despise them.
And even if the High Elves can resist the ambergris cream for the most part, there is still a market, and that is the Centaurs.
Solomon would no longer be involved in the ambergris trade, but he would sell arms to the Centaurs, and with the spread of faith, the beast god Tamriel would not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, even if the current war is over, the Centaur and even the Beast God Tamriel's faith propagators will start a new confrontation with the High Elves in the years to come, even a new war, but the scale of this war may not be as large as the first Ambergris War.
And Solomon had already planned that in such a confrontation, although the Terrans on the Azure Continent would claim to remain neutral, only maintain the security of the public concession, and ensure the normal flow of the other four trading cities, as long as they can trade arms in the name of trade, they can kill two birds with one stone, not only to open up a market for the arms industry in Asturias, but also to directly make the High Elves lose blood by borrowing the Centaur and even the orcs of the Skyfire Plateau.
And even if the Western Beast Alliance, which has joined Asturias, is not convenient to directly aid the Centaurs, the Eastern Beast Alliance is only an ally of the Aurora Kingdom, and they can even provide more direct assistance in the name of maintaining the belief of the Beast God.
The consequence of the First Ambergris War was to declare the end of the era of the High Elves, and the hegemony of the Kaos plane was handed over to the Terrans.
In the decades that followed, the Terrans continued to trade in ambergris paste and other commodities for unequal resource exchanges, and obtained an endless stream of abundant resources from the Emerald Continent, creating favorable conditions for their subsequent development.
At the same time, they also used the sword of the Centaur and even the orcs to continue to suppress the High Elves, so that they could not recover and fell into war and turmoil for a long time.
However, I have to say that even if the gods of both sides do not end, the vitality of the High Elves has not recovered, and there is the help of other orc races, but the battle between the tribes is still at a disadvantage after thirty years.
But at this time, the countries of the Azure Continent once again came to an end, and launched the second ambergris war under the pretext of the Muhua City Teaching Plan.
This war was not only smaller in scale than the first Ambergris War, but also ended relatively quickly.
After the Terran states entered the war under the pretext of entering the war and successively captured the city, the High Elves once again conceded defeat and signed the Treaty of Muwald.
The Treaty of Muwald further expanded the scope of the previous Champhire, expanding the treaty cities from those four to the theoretical entirety, and freedom of worship, allowing any city of the High Elves to be built with temples to other gods, and believers of other gods were free to preach.
In addition, there are also adjustments in tax rates to facilitate the further sale of goods from various countries and expand the market.
While gaining benefits through various means on the Emerald Continent, the nations of the Terran race also continued to begin their endless dimensional history of conquest and plunder, sometimes uniting, sometimes confronting, intriguing with each other and working together.
Like the multi-faceted Falmalik continent of Cologne, it is a plane that the Kingdom of Aurora wants to control completely, but the Saxons and the Church of Light still support the continuous resistance of the Apuro Empire for decades, and Solomon also supports the Free Alliance.
Under the alliance of various forces, even the queen of pain and suffering, Andariel, was finally defeated and retreated.
And in this process, the biggest beneficiary is not the Apuro Empire, the head of the natives, nor the Aurora Kingdom as an invader, but the Freedom Alliance, which is surprisingly lucky.
They got the opportunity to grow stronger in the war, and successively established a new empire with the Xi people, the remnants of the northern Pure Country, and the remnants of the Ori Kingdom, and Kehorin became the Emperor, who not only controlled part of the territory of Southern Falmalik, but also inherited Northern Falmalik after the fall of the Ghana Empire because of the help of the remnants of the Pure Kingdom and the Ori Kingdom.
As a result, the empire established by Khorin became the third pole on the continent of Falmalik, standing alongside the Apuro Empire and the Aurora Kingdom, and began to break away from the control of his former supporters, and gradually had his own will and ideas.
However, for the changes on the continent of Falmalik, neither Asturias nor Titanya directly sent a large army to intervene.
This is due to the fact that in the war on the Kaos mainland, both countries were the main forces, and the losses were greater than those of Aurora and Saxon, and because of the interests on the continent of Falmalik, both countries were also far inferior to Aurora.
Even after recovering from the two Ambergris Wars, there are more options, such as the discovery of Ogara, Langulisa, Arcanea, Valencia, Ereb, Macchivir, Lundbel, Telius, Kolarus, Esgard, Vandal and many other planes, not necessarily to fight Aurora on Falmalik.
Successively set foot in these planes of different sizes and different civilizations, whether it is Asturias or Titania, and Aurora have all received more and more benefits to support the development of their own magical civilization, and it is precisely because there are endless planes to conquer and plunder, the native countries on the Azure Continent have not broken out irreconcilable contradictions, at most they are only pulling each other back on the conquest of the heteroplane.
Solomon seemed to have fallen silent after completing the layout of the first Ambergris War, but the name of Chuangshen Investment Co., Ltd. gradually brightened up, and the company could be seen behind many heterotopic operations, and rarely failed, only losing money on Falmalik's investment in the Shining Cult, because the Emperor Khorin abandoned his cooperation with the Church of the Shining after receiving the support of Northern Falmalik and the Xi people.
Twenty-nine years after the First Ambergris War, Queen Tifanie of Asturias abdicated and was succeeded by her son.
In the thirtieth year, the year of the outbreak of the Second Ambergris War, Chuangshen Investment Co., Ltd. announced that the United Kingdom's Magic Institute had invested in the construction of Skynet in Asturias.
A new chapter has been turned in history. (To be continued.) )
