Chapter 1447 Reaching a Consensus
Although the bigger the land, the better, practical considerations must also be taken into consideration.
Someone controls that’s their own land, no one controls it, it’s just a nominal territory, actually a no-man’s land.
The capital of the Tandelon Demonic Kingdom and the surrounding three hundred miles of land are of course high-quality fertile land. There is also a canal leading to the sea near the capital, making trade very convenient.
But its location is too far from Avarus.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is an enclave. Even if Viola wants to, she does not have enough people to occupy it.
What's more, there is still a long forest between the capital and Viola's current actual control area. Communication and transportation between the two are very troublesome, and Viola is not capable of managing it even if she nods.
Of course Laurent, the demon king of Lakshurea, knew about this, but he still proposed it, and it was approved by Oswaya.
Something is wrong.
There must be another reason for this so-called compensation.
"I understand your good intentions, but I will not take over that territory."
In any case, the current Avarus cannot eat it, and holding a territory that cannot be eaten will cause trouble, and Agreeing was equivalent to accepting Laurent's favor, and it was time to make concessions on other issues.
So Viola didn’t do any ink and refused outright.
"If your majesty Laurent has any suggestions, please explain directly. The time for magic communication is limited, and the details can wait for our interview later."
"Very good, majesty Viola, you are a favorite It makes me happy to talk clearly."
Laurent said:
"I hope to exchange a piece of territory close to ours in your hands."
"Where?"
"The Balsa Wood Basin."
Go out from the fortress just north of Avarus and cross five cities in Tanderon to reach the Balsa Wood Basin.
It produced a lot of wood for building warships, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.
For Avarus, this land is dispensable. It’s not that it can’t be given, but you can’t give it to me just because you say you want it, right?
“In exchange, we are willing to hand over the two fortresses in our hands to you.”
“Are you sure you want to do this?”
The fortress given by Lakshurya , almost their gateway, making it much easier for Avarus to invade them.
“Of course, Your Majesty Viola.”
Laurent said:
“We Lakshurya is a mountain country. After this war, we will gain access to the sea, but A bunch of mountain monkeys can’t build a big ship, so I need the basin in your hand that produces high-quality wood.”
Lakshurya must have made some deals with Oswaya secretly, otherwise it would be the same as it is now. In terms of control lines, Lakshurya has no outlet to the sea.
“But your safety will be greatly threatened.”
"I believe that the friendship between the two countries will last forever, and I also believe that under the guidance of Your Majesty, we will maintain peace."
Really just simple belief?
Viola didn’t believe it.
She glanced slightly at the map hanging on the wall.
So, Lakshurya may be planning to invade the Enwei Demon Kingdom next.
As the only country among the seven demon kingdoms that has not been involved in the war, it is not that they are honest, but that they have been disabled by Viola, and now they dare not move.
Laurent seemed to have given Viola two fortresses to reduce his territory, but in fact he allowed Avarus' power to extend forward, just bordering the Demon Kingdom of Enwei.
I was beaten to autistic state by Avarus not long ago, and I suddenly found myself on the border with an enemy. This enemy had invaded not long ago. What do you think the Demon Kingdom of Enwei would think?
Avarus will definitely come for revenge. For this reason, Enwei Demon Kingdom will definitely mobilize its troops to focus on defense. However, in this way, it just falls into Lakshurya's trap and can attack the weak defense areas of Enwei Demon Kingdom from the other side.
Even if they join forces with Avarus to carve up the Enwei Demon Kingdom, it is not impossible.
Lakshria is a mountain country, and they want flat land too much. Whether it was the previous invasion of Avarus or all previous wars, almost all of them revolved around land.
The land of the Tandron Demon Kingdom has been eaten, and now it’s time to eat another dish.
This guy is really ambitious.
But this has nothing to do with Viola.
Viola has decided that after this war, Avarus will recuperate and consolidate the territory it has captured so far. There will be no more wars in a short time.
Lakshurya wants to fight, then let him fight, and Viola will be happy to watch the show.
“In principle, I agree, but the specific details still need to be discussed.”
“Of course, I will send my most trusted prime minister to do this.”
Laurent only asked for this from Avarus, Viola then asked:
"In this case, I have a proposal. I hope that after you conquer the capital of Tandelon, we will allow the area to be autonomous."
This sentence made Laurent and Sara frown:
"Your Majesty, can you explain your thoughts?"
"Everyone here is not capable of eating it. Rather than holding it in your hands and causing trouble for yourself, it is better to let them govern themselves. Of course, there is also autonomy Conditionally, it must become a city for the king.”
Now everyone understands that autonomy means transforming it from a political center to a religious city.
As long as the belief in the Demon King God spreads, there is no need to worry about the resurgence of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom, just like the Academic City, becoming an independent and neutral city.
The three countries do not need to spend manpower and material resources to build or manage it, and it can also become a buffer zone between the three countries, so that everyone is more assured and satisfied.
The Tanderon royal family may not be very happy.
Viola is the regent of Avarus and a devout believer. It is not surprising that she would make such a proposal.
In fact, Viola has long wanted to build a city belonging to the Demon King, but she has been too busy during this period, and the grand temple in the capital has only built an antechamber so far, and it still needs a lot of time. It takes a long time to complete.
Although Li Chengqi didn't care, Viola felt that as the powerful Demon King God, he must have a city that belongs entirely to him.
This proposal has been approved by the other two countries. Although there are still many details to be discussed, the general direction has been set.
At this time, Guateni's Demon King Claydy said:
"Your Majesty Viola, I think we need to discuss the attack on the Demon Kingdom of Subia."
How to divide the Tandelon Demon Kingdom has nothing to do with the Guateni Demon Kingdom, so Claydy has been simply listening and waiting for them to finish their discussion.
“You also know that our side is best at naval battles, but we don’t know much about land battles. We have only captured a few coastal cities so far.”
“Your Majesty Claydy, I was just about to say that I hope you can cooperate with our navy to defeat the effective forces of the Subia Demon Kingdom at sea, but realistically speaking, we cannot carve up Subia like we did with Tandelon.”
< br>Now that they have captured a lot of territory, Avarus can only cut another piece of flesh from Subia, and it is impossible to split it in two and share it equally with Guateni.
And the Guateni Demon Kingdom also knows this. They are even more small and weak. Even if the Subia Demon Kingdom does not resist at all, they will not be able to take on such a big enemy.
So the strategy for the Demon Kingdom of Subia is basically to let it cede territory and pay compensation, of which the land ceding is only a small part, and the compensation is the bulk.
