Chapter 112: Agreement of Surrender
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket of the parts book friend who fell from the sky, and in addition, writing 6,000 words when I had a cold really asked for the life of the bun, asking for a monthly pass and a reward.
"Welcome Lord Ingrid, welcome Her Highness Kagel. β
At the gate of the coalition advance base, Andy (Anti), Ouyang Yu, Prince Terry and Chris Redfield and other coalition military and political personnel all came out to welcome Ingrid, Kajieer and the three elders who accompanied them.
After greeting at the gate for a while, the group came to the big tent of the base and sat across a long table, Andy (Antti) sat in the middle on behalf of the coalition forces, Ouyang Yu on her left, Prince Terry on the right, Kajieer in the middle of the elf on the opposite side, Ingrid on the left, and Lula Shadow Song on the right.
Because both sides knew the reason for this meeting, since they had already planned to surrender and in order for the human race to stop the attack as soon as possible and reduce the casualties of the clansmen, Kajieer said directly to the point: " His Royal Highness Andy, His Royal Highness Catherine, His Highness Terry, everyone, we elves do not have the habit of beating around the bush to say anything, this time we are here to surrender conditionally to you humans, what conditions we have on both sides to say it, if everyone is sincere, then this tragic war will stop, if there is no sincerity, don't waste time, let's fight to the death on the battlefield. β
Kajie'er's words were difficult to listen to on the surface, but Ouyang Yu, Andy (Anti) and Terry all heard a sense of urgency from her words, and the elf really couldn't hold on, and the three exchanged opinions with their eyes, and then Andy (Anti) spoke: "Your Highness Kajieer, we must have sincerity." If you have any conditions, please say it first, as long as it is reasonable, we can agree. β
"Good. Kajieer took out a piece of parchment and read, "First." When the war is over, your army exits the Endless Forest, and the camps outside the forest must be dismantled. Second, release our soldiers who have been captured by you, and you must not deliberately abuse or detain them without reason, let alone sell them as goods, and third, because of the war, our people lack food, and you need to provide enough food for our people to eat for a year. Fourth....... β
Kajieer Lin Lin said a total of nineteen conditions, some of which were quite reasonable, while some of them made Ouyang Yu and the others frown when they heard it. For example, Article 7: The human side needs to set up a buffer zone for 200 kilometers bordering the Endless Forest and the Turani Grassland, and the human race must not send troops to garrison it, Article 12: The human race must retrieve the elves that have been captured over the years and return them to the elves and punish the buyers and sellers, Article 15: Destroy all air force equipment and production plants, and do not develop similar technologies again in the future, etc., those who don't know still think that the elves have won the battle, and the inexplicable arrogance of the elves can be seen.
After hearing these conditions, Prince Terry slapped the table angrily and shouted: "This is your conditions? This is your sincerity? If this is the case, there is no need for us to talk about it anymore, let's fight it out on the battlefield!"
Andy (Antti) sneered and said, "Since your conditions are finished. Then it's time to talk about our conditions, first, the elves can only keep an army of 100,000 after the war, and second. Two hundred kilometers to the west of the Endless Forest is set up as a demilitarized zone, and the elves are not allowed to station troops, third. The elven air warships must be handed over for destruction by us, fourth. Twenty million gold coins for the war are compensated, which can be paid by minerals or other precious metals of equal value. It must be paid in a hundred years, with an interest rate of five percent per year, fifth, destroy all magic weapons and production factories, and never develop similar weapons in the future, sixth,......γ Andy (Antti) uttered twenty-one conditions in one breath, and the elves turned pale when they heard them.
"We absolutely cannot agree to your terms, you have no intention of a truce!" Lula Shadowsong stood up and accused.
Andy (Antti) smiled contemptuously: "Is it my insincerity or your lack of will?" It's the first time I've seen that as a defeated person, you would put forward so many unbelievable conditions, are you really here to negotiate surrender?"
"This ...... Even if our elves are defeated, we still have our dignity, and we will not accept your conditions!"
"Dignity? Hmph, dignity is nothing compared to life, can the dignity of your elves be exchanged for the resurrection of the dead people? Can your dignity be exchanged for the strength to defeat us? Can your dignity be exchanged for the food of the belly? At this time, you elves are still clinging to the so-called dignity and unwarranted pride, you elves were defeated by us ten thousand years ago because they don't take us humans in their eyes and think that they are higher than one qiΔ, and they are huddled in the endless forest to survive!"
The first meeting ended in a quarrel, after which Ouyang Yu, Andy (Antti) and Terry decided to concentrate on fighting the remnants of the elves' army, expanding the scope of the air raids, and defeating the elves' luck and inexplicable arrogance and unwarranted dignity.
In the next few days, Ouyang Yu's banshee fighters were dispatched on a large scale, including the Griffin, more than a thousand fighters burned down hundreds of elven villages, and even carried out a frightening bombing of Yongge City, in front of hundreds of thousands of elves, dropped thousands of tons of incendiary bombs in the large woods outside the city, the fire burned for three days and three nights before being extinguished, although it did not cause a single elf casualties, but the scene of thousands of fighters throwing bombs in the sky and the sun still gave a strong shock to the elf queens, if those incendiary bombs were not thrown outside the city, but inside the city, Yongge City would become history, the hundreds of thousands of elves in the city will become charred corpses, and the elves immediately responded to the warning on the human side.
It is still the advance base of the coalition army, or in the big tent, the two sides of the long table are still the same people and seats, but the momentum of the elves is much weaker than the last time, this time it was Ouyang Yu who spoke first, she said: "Everyone, our patience is limited, if you still do not accept our surrender conditions, then we will no longer maintain restraint, and will carry out a comprehensive attack on your elven race, including a nuclear strike, and we will not withdraw our troops if we do not make your elven clan a historical term!
Hearing the nuclear strike elves, everyone shuddered, and when the Hope saw the light of day, he fought with Ouyang Yu. They have a very intuitive concept of nuclear weapons, which is very powerful. Very powerful, with an extremely wide range of damage. If Ouyang Yu really launched a nuclear strike, all of the elves would be able to escape the poison, and this time the elf queen gave a strict order that it must be negotiated, no matter how harsh the conditions must be agreed, Yongge City has already had a shortage of food because of the concentration of a large number of elf refugees and Ouyang Yu's air force blockade, and the elf queen does not want her royal city to become the same as the royal city of the swamp orcs, hundreds of thousands of people starved to death because of lack of food, and the rest of the people all became man-eating devils.
Kajie'er gritted her silver teeth and said, "After discussion, we have decided to accept all your conditions, but I don't know how many of our conditions you can agree to?"
Ouyang Yu, Andy (Antti) and Terry looked at each other and smiled. Andy (Antti) said: "We agree in principle to the second and third articles, and the eighteenth, tenth, thirteenth, and eighteenth still need to be discussed, and we cannot agree to the rest." β
Among the nineteen articles, the elves value the first three the most, and these three are also the bottom line, and now the second and third human beings have agreed, except for the first one, it doesn't matter if all the human beings oppose the other conditions.
Kajier said, "Why can't you agree to the first article? After the peace treaty is over, why don't you withdraw your troops from the Endless Forest?"
Andy replied with a smile: "This is about the upcoming demilitarized zone, in which we will have an army of 200,000 people stationed for a long time. The forward base outside the Endless Forest will be converted into a logistics base to support this army in the future. β
"200,000 garrisons, this is absolutely not possible!" Andy (Anti) immediately objected excitedly as soon as he finished speaking.
"These 200,000 garrisons do not penetrate deep into your settlements, but only serve as a surveillance, and they will patrol the forests to protect the nobles from slave hunters. Therefore, the garrison is still very necessary, and you must agree to this condition. Andy (Antti) said toughly.
Kagel, Ingrid, and Lula Shadowsong looked at each other, then nodded helplessly in agreement.
The most critical issues have been discussed, and the rest are the minor ones. The surrender agreement was quickly drafted, and all that remained was for the Elven Queen and the monarchs of the seven members of the Continental Council to sign the agreement before it would take effect.
After talking about all the business, Kajie'er looked at Ouyang Yu and said, "Her Royal Highness Catherine." I have something I want to discuss with you. β
"Speak. β
"After the war is over, I hope you can release the three elders of our clan and a dozen saint-level people who were captured by you, and we will pay you a satisfactory ransom. I wonder if you can say yes?"
"No, I can't. Ouyang Yu rejected Ka Jie'er in one bite, "According to the rules of the mainland, they were defeated by me, and they will be my slaves in the future, I like these slaves very much and don't plan to release them, and they have all been destroyed by me, and their cultivation is long gone, will you still spend a lot of money to redeem them? If you still want to redeem them, you can also, for each one million gold coins or one hundred thousand magic crystals, we will pay the money with one hand and the other hand." β
Kajie'er held back the anger in her heart, closed her eyes, forced herself to calm down, and said for a long time: "No need, we don't have so many gold coins to ransom some waste people back." It's not that Kajie'er doesn't want to save her, but as soon as she heard Ouyang Yu's tone, she knew that she didn't want to let go, and the lion opened her mouth, from the perspective of the entire elf clan, it was not worth it to spend a lot of money to be ransomed by the captives who destroyed the source of magic power, so she had to say the above ruthless words.
In the palace of the Song City, the elven queen took a pen and wrote her name on the surrender agreement, which has written the names of the seven monarchs of the Council of the Human Continent, and the name of Riches is also among them.
The elven queen picked up her royal seal and put it on her name, and then took the agreement and said to Andy (Anti), who came to attend the signing ceremony: "I hope that there will be no more war between your and my clan in the future." β
Andy (Anti) smiled reservedly from the perspective of the victor: "As long as the communication and understanding between our two races are strengthened, and mutual trade and mutual dependence are strengthened, I think there will be no more wars in the future." β
There is a trade agreement in the additional terms of the avatar agreement, and the elves' magic items and handicrafts, as well as paintings, statues and other works of art are very popular among the human aristocracy. Human food, cloth, elven luxury goods and unique fruits and other goods will be exchanged to form a good business circle. As Andy (Anti) said, there was communication and understanding. The likelihood of another war would be greatly reduced.
And the monarchs of the council also analyzed why the elves would participate in this war, in fact, they were all self-inflicted by human beings, because of the elves' beautiful appearance and rare preciousness, the nobles of all countries have been proud of raising elven slaves, so they have bred a large number of slave hunting teams against elves, and every year dozens to hundreds of male and female elves are captured by slave traders, and then sold to nobles for fun, becoming the nobles' sexual slaves, conservative and cruel to death, and so on year after year. Day after day, the elves' hatred of humanity grows stronger and stronger, and they will only join the invasion war if they are provoked by the people of the Dark Council.
Therefore, in view of this situation, the countries of the Council jointly issued a decree prohibiting everyone from buying and selling elven slaves, and those who have purchased elven slaves will be released immediately, and anyone who dares to violate them will be severely punished.
After completing the signing ceremony of the surrender agreement, the elven queen said to Ouyang Yu, who also came to participate: "Your Royal Highness Catherine, now that the decree issued by the nobles prohibiting the purchase of elven slaves has come into effect, the people of our clan who have been captured by you can now be released, right?"
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, but those elves you said were openly defeated by me on the battlefield and not bought with gold coins. According to the general rules on the mainland, they will automatically become my slaves for life, so that decree does not apply to me, and I cannot accept your request. "What are you kidding, elf slaves are rare, and they are all saint-level. Although the source of magic power has been destroyed, Ouyang Yu can still recover after the training, and the addition of more than ten saint levels under his command is a big help, so Ouyang Yu will not release them.
The elf queen said helplessly: "Is there really nothing to talk about?"
Ouyang Yu turned his head to Ka Jie'er and said, "It's not that there is nothing to talk about. If I can let Her Royal Highness Princess Kajieer be my personal maid for two hundred years, I will release half of my captives. β
"No!" the Elven Queen immediately said angrily, "Kajieer is the next Queen. How can you let her be your personal maid, you are insulting our people!"
"Mother. Promise her. Kajie'er took the elven queen's hand and said: "I am willing to be her personal maid in exchange for our people, isn't it two hundred years, with the long life of our elves is not a long time, as long as our people can return safely, what is this sacrifice." β
"Kagier. The elf queen held her daughter's hands tightly, and looked at her eyes with tears in her eyes, and what the elf queen saw from Kajieer's eyes was the sense of responsibility that she should have as a princess and the next elf queen.
"Well, I agreed, and I ask Her Highness Catherine not to break her promise and release my ordinary people. The elf queen said to Ouyang Yu very reluctantly.
Ouyang Yu was also surprised, she was just talking casually, in fact, she didn't want to hand over any of the captured elves, but the elf queen and Kajie'er actually agreed to her almost humiliating request, which was really too unexpected for her.
"Ahem, Princess Kajie's character is really admirable, in that case I will definitely do what I say, please wait a moment, I will bring someone here." With that, the golden space-time gate opened beside her, and the banshee lord Akasha walked out of the space-time gate, followed by eight female elves.
"Master, according to your orders, the people have been brought here. Akasha bowed to Ouyang Yu and stood quietly behind her.
In addition to the elf queen, the others are still seeing Akasha for the first time, and they have long heard that Ouyang Yu's subordinates have a saint-level female elf, and they all thought it was a rebellious elf before, but it doesn't seem to be the case when they see it today, compared with ordinary elves, Akasha is no different in appearance, but the skin is indeed blue, if the friend's elf is a blood elf on the continent of Azeroth, then Akasha is a night elf, they are all elves but different races.
"As a reward for the dedication of Princess Kajie'er, I give you a small gift, all of whom stand up. Under Ouyang Yu's instructions, the eight captured elves stood tightly together.
"Talismans!Great Healing Technique!"
The pure life energy turned into countless points of light and submerged into the bodies of the eight elf captives, repairing the source of the destroyed magic power, and they felt that the magic power that had been lost gradually began to recover, and when all the points of light disappeared, the damaged magic source of the eight elves was all restored. The cultivation of the whole body is restored, and as long as you rest for a while, you can return to the previous energy level.
"Oh my God! It's a miracle. Thank you, Your Royal Highness Catherine!" The Elf Queen sincerely thanked Ouyang Yu, Ouyang Yu said this, which also meant that her daughter would not suffer much under her in the future. Although Ouyang Yu is a famous lace edge in the mainland, this is nothing in the eyes of the elf queen, the wind of lilies prevails among the elves, and the love between men and women is a very common thing, which is also one of the reasons why the fertility rate of the elves is not high, even if their daughters are "eaten" by Ouyang Yu in the future It's nothing if she drops, maybe she can also use the special love between her daughter and Ouyang Yu to win a lot of benefits for the elf clan, thinking of this, the elf queen no longer feels so uncomfortable letting Kajieer be Ouyang Yu's personal maid.
Since Ouyang Yu had exposed his powerful healing ability. Just do the good guy to the end, and take the initiative to say that he can treat the injuries in the elves, including the cripples of broken hands and feet, which can regenerate their limbs.
Ouyang Yu's initiative made all the elves happy, there were too many elves in the war who lost their labor force because of cripplement, and the population was not large, and the elves still needed to feed these disabled soldiers, which was really a big burden, and now there was a chance to restore the crippled clansmen, so that the elf queen and others would look at Ouyang Yu more and more.
The disabled elves are widely distributed, and it will take a while to concentrate, so Ouyang Yu and Andy (Anti) are temporarily living in the elf palace.
In the evening, after the elf queen entertained Ouyang Yu and Andy (Anti) for a dinner with elf characteristics, the three of them talked secretly for a long time behind closed doors. It wasn't until the next day, when it was almost dawn, that Ouyang Yu and Andy (Antti) left.
The Elven Queen, who had been talking all night, was in good spirits, and she called all the elders, and after laying down the soundproof barrier, she said, "Everyone, our war with the humans is over. But we have one more trouble. β
Elders, you look at me, I look at you, I don't understand what the Elven Queen means when she says trouble. Wait quietly for the Elven Queen to say the answer.
The Elven Queen continued, "Our trouble is that the 800,000 orc army that is still left in the Endless Forest, if we leave the orcs alone and make a truce with the humans, the news spreads. Then the army of 800,000 orcs will immediately become our enemy, so I intend to cooperate with humans. Together, leave those 800,000 orcs in the endless forest forever. β
"Hiss......!" The elders all took a breath of cool air, it is normal for countries and races to deceive each other, but the orcs came to the Endless Forest as reinforcements from the elves, and they came to help the elves fight, and now they have just signed a surrender agreement with the humans and turned around and sold their former allies, which made many elders unacceptable for a while.
"Your Majesty, I don't agree with your approach, if you do this, the dignity and face of our elves will be lost, who will ask us to cooperate in the future? β
"The four elders are right, no matter how the orc army is, it used to be an ally who fought side by side with us, although we have ceased war with the humans, no matter how we turn around, we can't turn around and stab the orcs in the back, and I am also against your approach. β
Most of the elders were opposed, and only a few supported the queen.
The Elven Queen patiently explained, "Elders, I intend to do this because I have a last resort, you think, if the orcs knew that we left them alone to make a truce with the humans, what would the orcs do with their violent nature? It is certain that we will declare war immediately, and then 800,000 wolf-like orc soldiers will do heinous things in our hinterland, burn down our villages, kill our people, rape our sisters, humans will not abuse my prisoners of war, and they will give warnings before burning down villages, but the orcs will not, they will only do more than humans, and we will not be able to stop us when we have no resistance power, so we can only use human hands to drive away or destroy the orcs, otherwise what awaits us will be the danger of extermination, and now you still oppose my planοΌβ
The elders were silent for a long time, and then unanimously agreed to the Elven Queen's plan to unite humans to destroy the orc army. (To be continued......)
