It is impossible not to have a complicated look on the face of Shutana Hardy.

To tell the truth, it was very embarrassing to see Feng Kan's dragon knight captain again, as early as when he was in the holy city of Gadtevac, he had repeatedly said that he wanted to persuade Count Caridos to stop this hopeless war, and he did think so in his heart, but after returning to the Bernardo barracks, he and his young dragon knights were isolated, although they were not questioned and tortured, but there was no chance to meet Count Caridos again, and then there was a series of dazzling things- All the dragon knights except them were rallied, and all the teams abandoned their baggage and heavy equipment and marched in a roundabout way......

It wasn't until after something that no one could understand that Count Caridos sent for Shutana Hardy to speak, and the dragon knight captain had the opportunity to briefly recount what he had seen in Gadtevaz.

In fact, the responsibility for this is not his, but the upright dragon knight has always felt guilty that he did not fulfill his promise well.

"Tell me what you want. ”

As soon as he sat down, Count Caridos asked the question in his heart.

"What do you want? That's what we're going to ask, right? Anyway, this time it was Bernardo who invaded the Santa Alliance, not the Santa Alliance, and ran to Bernardo's wilderness, right? How do you feel like we're bullying you?"

As soon as he heard the words of Count Caridos, Feng Kan was angry.

“...... So what do you want to do?"

Count Carridos stared at Feng Kan's eyes expressionlessly and continued, although he didn't say it explicitly, but it also meant that he admitted that his side was at a loss.

"I don't want to do anything. ”

Feng Kan easily leaned himself comfortably on the backrest and stretched.

"You retreat, let's go home. ”

“......”

“......”

“......”

“......”

“...... Is that the end of it?"

"It's over, what else do you want?"

“......”

Count Carridos' eyes widened, and he looked at Feng Kan as if he were an alien. After a while, he didn't seem to be at ease, and looked at the chief priest of Vesit who was sitting next to Feng Kan suspiciously.

The words of the Prophet are a certainty. ”

The old priest of the fox clan didn't raise his eyelids, and said this lightly with a smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to have a deep meaning.

“...... Huh?"

This time, not only Count Caridos, but even Feng Kan and them were taken aback coldly.

No one expected that the old priest of the Beast King God would be so happy, although Feng Kan had the name of an inexplicable "Prophet of the Firmament", but in the end he was an outsider. This is a matter of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Santa Alliance, and the old man just gave up the decision with a light word...... What kind of medicine is sold in this old man's gourd?

"It was the Prophet who defeated Bernardo, so naturally he had to listen to the Prophet's arrangement. ”

The old man of the fox clan is old and refined, although he doesn't really know the few things that Feng Kan used just now, but he knows very well its huge power, with such a powerful weapon, even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, it is just a puff of smoke, fortunately, this person is on his side, since he wants to let the other party go, if he wants to raise any objections, he has no confidence. Not only does this have no practical significance, but it will leave some knots in the heart of this Celestial Prophet who has not met for a long time, in this case, it is better to be a favor, and it is more in line with the interests of the Santa Alliance to continue to stand firmly on the position of the Santa Alliance in the future.

Compared to the single-minded chief priest of Visit, Count Caridos was confused.

So far, he is also very aware of his situation, and he doesn't say much else. Just now when Bernardo's army was able to act, if the Santa alliance attacked. These hundreds of thousands of troops can only powerlessly face the unscrupulous slaughter of the enemy, in the face of such power, all glory and pride are meaningless, no matter how many troops are completely a piece of meat in someone else's bowl, such powerlessness and despair can make any ambition in smoke.

The Earl was mentally prepared to pay a terrible price, if something like this happened in the past. All would be taken captive, and the nobles would be able to regain their freedom on the ransom paid by their families, while soldiers with no status would be treated so well, and in the Jamins Empire, they would be reduced to slavery. If you're lucky, you'll be able to regain your freedom through your efforts in the gladiatorial arena, while if you're unlucky, you'll be crushed to die like a wild dog on the side of the road, or spend your life in a dark mine.

For such a result, the Count of Caridos did not have too many ideas, but the loss of so many young and middle-aged men at one time made the situation of the Duchy of Bernardo worrying.

But if there is a glimmer of hope, Count Carridos will not bow his head to others lightly, Bernardo's soldiers are not afraid of death, rather than suffer such humiliation, it is better to fight hard, even if they are unable to return to the sky in the end, at least they can make a big bang.

But no matter how much you are not afraid of death, you are also afraid that there is no point in dying.

Count Carridos is ready to accept the greatest humiliation of his life, as long as he can keep some more descendants for the Duchy of Bernardo, he is willing to bear the greatest humiliation.

But things didn't seem to be as he imagined.

In other words, no matter how rich the imagination of the Earl was, he did not expect such a reaction from the other party.

As long as you withdraw your troops, you can return to the principality intact?!

Is there such a good thing in this world?

This is tantamount to the other party himself completely giving up the rights that the winner should have, is there really such a generous person in the world?

"If you have no objections, your Excellency, please sign this agreement. ”

Of course, Feng Kan would not let the matter pass so easily, and the focus of his concern was actually in the agreement handed over at this moment.

Count Carridos sneered and took the paper handed by the other party, he also thought that the other party would not be so kind, even if the other party asked for more compensation and ransom, the old earl planned to tighten his belt and admit it.

But as he skimmed through the thin page, his eyes widened.

"First: The Duchy of Bernardo solemnly apologizes to the Santa Alliance for this unprovoked invasion of the endless Great Plains, and assures that such a thing will not happen again.

Second: from now on. No armed personnel of the Duchy of Bernardo are allowed to carry any weapons on the land of the Endless Savannah without the permission of the Santa Alliance, and armed personnel of the Duchy must obtain the approval of the Santa Alliance and report to the official records of the Santa Alliance if they need to travel to the Endless Prairie.

Thirdly, the Duchy of Bernardo agrees to open trade routes with the Santa Alliance and the Kingdom of St. Augustine, and undertakes not to interfere in the commercial activities between the countries of the agreement, and the Duchy of Bernardo must be responsible for the security of the merchants of the other countries in its territory.

Fourth: The Duchy of Bernardo agreed to exempt the Santa League and the merchants of the Kingdom of St. Austan from a single tax on its territory.

Fifthly, the Santa Union and the merchants of the Kingdom of St. Austin have priority in the purchase and sale of goods in Bernardo, and in the event of a dispute, the parties must be placed at the disposal of the country of their nationality.

Sixth: The Duchy of Bernardo agrees to establish diplomatic relations with the Santa Alliance and the Kingdom of St. Augustan, and the three countries establish each other's embassies as a place for their respective diplomats. Diplomatic agents of various countries enjoy diplomatic immunity, and each country must not infringe on the various powers enjoyed by the embassies of other countries (the details of the specific powers enjoyed by embassies are clearly indicated in the subsequent supplementary instructions), and if there is a dispute between the three countries, communication and agreement must first be obtained through diplomatic channels.

......”

“...... It's just that...... So?"

The Count of Carridos didn't even believe his eyes a little.

The agreement did not even mention any land claims, not even a single word of ransom or compensation, which, in his opinion, was tantamount to giving up all the rights that the victors should enjoy.

As for the commercial aspects of the agreement, the old earl did not realize the importance of it.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Feng Kan asked with a smile.

He knew in his heart that this agreement was an outright unequal treaty.

No one in the Transtac today understands the importance of economic power to a country better than he does.

The kingdom of St. Austin is about to enter the industrial age, and the problem facing the kingdom now is the contradiction between mass production and unequal consumption. The most basic characteristic of industrial society is the thirst for the market, and the industrial society without the market is like a pool of stagnant water without any future, as long as there is a large number of markets, the national power of the kingdom of St. Austin will develop at an unimaginable speed.

The cooperation with the Duchy of Volcan, the positions of both sides are equal, the Duchy of Volcan itself is not developed, but it can provide a large number of human resources, so the relationship between the Duchy of Volcan and the Kingdom of St. Austin is more similar to a partnership of equal interests.

But to the Duchy of Bernardo. Feng Kan was not so polite.

The Count of Carridos did not realize the fundamental significance of this thin page, because in this day and age. Commercial activity did not take much into the interests of the state, and he could not imagine how much the merchants of the Kingdom of St. Austin would have an impact on the already barren commercial base of the Principality of Bernardo when they entered the Duchy of Bernardo with goods of overwhelming quality and quantity, and these merchants were not required to pay taxes.

However, such shocks did not destroy the economic system of the Duchy of Bernardo.

Feng Kan believes that there is no shortage of smart people in the world.

After the initial shock, Bernardo's merchants would see an opportunity to buy goods from the Kingdom of St. Austin in large quantities and then dump them at higher prices to the rest of the Jamins Empire......

When things got to that point, the Duchy of Bernardo and the Kingdom of St. Austin had inseparable interests. At that time, the Santa Alliance and St. Austin could not worry about the threat from the Duchy of Bernardo at all.

Feng Kan did not want to destroy the Duchy of Bernardo, and it was his goal to let the Duchy of Bernardo fully integrate into the system of interests he had woven to strengthen the power of the Kingdom of St. Austin.
