Chapter 919: The alliance of nations cannot bear it anymore and wants to negotiate a peace
Unsurprisingly, the final ownership of the Law Breaking Blade is the Orei Empire. As Cato said, the Orei Empire fought for it regardless of the cost, which made the countries Many countries in the alliance were forced to give up.
Compared with the Orei Empire, which has no way out and does everything in a desperate manner, all countries have a way out, so they can stop their losses in time.
Then, the law-breaking blade fell into Lu Xingshi's hands, but he didn't have time to study it much.
Immediately afterwards, the alliance of nations was brutally beaten again, and most of the Dragon Mountains fell into the hands of the Orei Empire.
Due to successive defeats, many empires within the alliance of nations could no longer bear it. People died and land was lost. This would cause everyone to lose their mentality.
Therefore, a peace negotiation faction emerged within the alliance of nations.
That is to say, they don't want to fight. They have always won the wars, and they can continuously plunder the resources of the Orei Empire as a supplement. They have sufficient benefits, so they are naturally happy to do so.
But now I keep losing. Not only do I get beaten and gain no benefits, but I also suffer a large deficit. Naturally, I can't bear this anymore.
Internal calls for peace grew louder and eventually became mainstream.
Then...the peace talks began.
The news has not reached the imperial capital of the Orei Empire yet, but is still in the hands of Lu Xingshi on the front line of the Dragon Mountain Range.
It means that both parties have reached a peace agreement and you cannot continue fighting.
"What do you think?" Lu Xingshi handed the official letter to Cato.
After Cato read it, his brows furrowed.
"How are they going to talk?" Cato definitely didn't want to stop.
It's a rare good situation, and the casualties are still low. The opponent will fight whenever he wants, and stop when he wants to stop? Then what do they think of the Orei Empire?
"I don't know. I just sent an official letter of peace talks and a truce. The specific content of the peace talks is probably sent directly to the imperial capital." Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes: "If nothing happens, we will be able to arrive in the imperial capital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at most."
The alliance of various countries must have known that neither Lu Xingshi nor Cato would agree to peace.
On the contrary, among the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital, not all of them are warlords.
Although the Aurelian Empire has been making rapid progress, it is actually gritting its teeth and supporting it. It is a battle to gamble on the fate of the country.
If you succeed, you will naturally stand up; if you fail, you will definitely destroy the country.
However, now, as long as peace is negotiated, this high-risk, high-reward forced behavior can be stopped.
"I have no objection to the negotiation, but the remaining areas of the Dragon Mountain Range will become the territory of the Orei Empire." Lu Xingshi expressed his request.
It doesn't matter to Lu Xingshi whether he wants to fight or not, but if anyone dares to stop him from becoming stronger, then don't blame Lu Xingshi for being ruthless.
Even if it was the Orei Empire, Lu Xingshi would immediately fall out.
If you broke the appointment on the agreed terms, you really thought he was easy to bully.
He had fulfilled his promise to help the empire conquer the Dragon Mountains. If there were problems with his research due to the Orei Empire, Lu Xingshi would not mind letting the Orei Empire become the Langton Empire.
He rarely takes action, but his reputation in the southern part of the empire is extremely high now. All he needs to do is stir up emotions and ensure that with a wave of his arms, people will follow him to counterattack the empire.
The reason is very simple. The civilians and soldiers in the Southern Dragon Mountains are the real victims of the battlefields of the Alliance of Nations, not the people in the Imperial Capital who have not experienced it.
Therefore, when the empire negotiates peace, these people are the least likely to agree.
What about their relatives who died on the battlefield?
If you really want to negotiate peace, you only need an opportunity to be instigated and coerced by Lu Xingshi.
"I think so too. The empire invested so many people, and they took the initiative to make peace. If they don't pay a sufficient price, then tearing up the agreement next time will be as easy as eating and drinking." Cato agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement.
So many people died in the Dragon Mountain Range, no matter what, the entire mountain range had to be taken down.
"It's just... it's unlikely. We will even be asked to return the territory we occupy." Cato sighed: "Even if the alliance of nations negotiates a peace, it is impossible for the empire to occupy the entire Dragon Mountain Range."
"Once the Dragon Mountain Range falls into the hands of the empire, the next one to start a war will not be their alliance of countries, but our Orei Empire."
"And it's the more powerful Orei Empire. They can't stop it at all."
"So the empire agrees to negotiate peace, so the most likely price is that the Dragon Mountains will be returned as a price, and then the alliance of countries will compensate from other places." Cato said helplessly.
"General Gato, do you still remember what I said when I came south to the Dragon Mountain Range?" Lu Xingshi said coldly.
"I know, it's just..." Cato was helpless.
"It's not just that once the empire chooses to use the Dragon Mountains as the price for peace, I will leave the empire as soon as possible, and use the meteorite technique to completely destroy the entire imperial capital and take control of the entire empire."
"I helped the empire, and the empire agreed to my request."
"The empire broke the promise. It's not like I don't have enough means to turn the Orei Empire into the Langton Empire." Lu Xingshi said calmly.
These words silenced Cato.
What Lu Xingshi said was too straightforward.
"The Orei Empire is still the Orei Empire now because I don't have so much time to deal with it. Otherwise, do you think the empire can stop me?" Lu Xingshi pointed at the Seven Deadly Sins Magic Mirror floating next to Cato.
It means that the magic mirror puppet, you represent the empire, and what you have now is just the right to use it. The ownership is still in his hands. If you want to take it back, it is just a matter of words. At that time, all the magic mirror puppets in the entire Dragon Mountain Range will become his extraordinary soldiers and obey his orders.
"So I would advise the empire to consider it carefully. After all, I can stabilize the situation and I can also change the situation."
"It's best to listen to my advice. When they wake up, the empire will still be the empire."
What Lu Xingshi said was not a threat, but true.
Today, Lu Xingshi is fully capable of doing what he said.
It's just that he valued his own strength more than power, so he didn't choose to take action.
It is easy to conquer the world and can be solved by force, but it is not so easy to defend the world. Without the destiny of emperor, he cannot be a hand-off shopkeeper.
So it is best to have an agent to cooperate with.
His cooperation with the Orei Empire was very pleasant before the peace negotiations.
He paid a small price, and the empire supported his research in the Dragon Mountains and reimbursed all resource costs.
"Grand Duke Langton, please rest assured that the empire may not necessarily be at peace and will fully consider your suggestions."
"And even if peace is negotiated, it may not necessarily be reached. The empire will definitely try to occupy the Dragon Mountain Range." Cato said.
There are peace-promoting factions in the empire, but there are also war-promoting factions. Nowadays, it is difficult for the empire to gain an advantage, and many people are thinking of going further.
"You don't have much confidence anymore. It seems that peace talks are inevitable." Lu Xingshi heard Cato's words, otherwise how could he use words such as uncertainty and trial.
In fact, until now, the Orei Empire has paid a heavy price, and its national strength is still strong.
Especially for ordinary people at the bottom, various problems such as population decline and economic depression are emerging one after another. It will take at least three generations to recover.
"I'll rush back to the imperial capital, and I'll leave it to you to take charge of this place." Gattu suddenly said.
If the peace negotiation fails, they will continue to fight. If the peace negotiation succeeds, they will have to face Lu Xingshi.
This is not a situation Cato wants to see.
Compared with the alliance of various countries, Cato believed that once Lu Xingshi rebelled, it would be more difficult for the empire.
The meteorite summoned by Lu Xingshi was enough to level the imperial capital.
"So decisive?" Lu Xingshi was a little surprised, thinking that Cato would continue to struggle: "As soon as you leave and hand over the Seven Deadly Sins Magic Mirror to me, aren't you afraid that I will take action directly after hearing the news of the peace negotiation?"
"I'm afraid, but if that's the case, the empire deserves it." Cato replied sharply.
They fought life and death on the front line, but as a result, you stopped the war when the enemy said it would. The great advantage was wasted, and no one would want to replace it.
Not to mention that the huge advantage of the Dragon Mountain Range is also due to Cato.
Once peace is negotiated, the credit will definitely be reduced.
Whether it was for the empire itself or for himself, Cato would not just watch the peace negotiation succeed.
"Okay, then go and come back quickly." Lu Xingshi didn't stop him. It would be best for Cato to succeed.
…
"The peace agreement of the alliance of nations has been sent, and you have read it. What do you say?" A senior member of the empire's high-level council spoke up.
"Peace negotiation? They started the war without our consent. Now it's up to them to stop the war." A senior leader of the main war faction said with a sneer.
In the past, we always lost when we fought, and we would negotiate for peace if there was no gain.
But it is different now. The empire's finances are gradually recovering due to victory.
"If the war continues, the population and economy will be destroyed. Even if we win, the empire will be in ruins." A senior leader of the peace faction retorted.
"Oh, you are not a spy for the Alliance of Nations, are you? Look at their conditions, they want us to return the Dragon Mountain Range." Another senior leader of the main war faction directly slapped the hat: "Without the Dragon Mountain Range, we will wait for the Alliance of Nations After recovering, do you still want to recover? I'm afraid it won't happen again in two days."
"If you want to negotiate a peace, you must not only consider these issues." A senior leader of the main war faction said immediately: "Don't forget Grand Duke Langton's request."
"Without the Dragon Mountains, who will calm down Grand Duke Langton's anger? I don't want to face meteorites falling from the sky and endless magic mirror puppets."
As soon as these words came out, the senior officials in the council fell silent.
They knew how tough Lu Xingshi was. During the Kingdom of Voss, he had a head-on confrontation with the Grand Duke as soon as he became Viscount. Later, he even dared to fight to the death with the empire and the undead with only ten thousand moonlight werewolves.
Now that they were stabbing Lu Xingshi in the back, Lu Xingshi would definitely dare to kill them all with a backhand.
The other party, from Viscount Langton to Grand Duke Langton, did not rely on the ancestral title, but the title that was obtained through actual hard work.
Even if you didn't have the strength, you would dare to be so tough. Now that you have the strength, you will definitely be even tougher.
