Chapter 40 Peace(2/2)
We just need to discuss compensation... The garrison in the 'Sacred City' doesn't want us to continue the war, so we have to respect their opinions, eh? Therefore, a truce is the best choice. Of course, our Vatican
You still have to pay the amount of compensation required by the special empire."
An old man laughed sinisterly: "We, the six-nation coalition, have the upper hand now, right? In addition to the hundreds of thousands of troops in the 'Sacred City', our reinforcements are about to arrive here. Your Vante Empire's army has only one in the city.
How can 110,000 people fight us?"
The Minister of Military Affairs of the Smart Empire suddenly said: "Our Smart Empire and the Vant Empire have always been the best allies. This war is all because of some misunderstandings. Therefore, we withdrew from the coalition and
Give the Vante Empire a compensation of 200 million gold coins. We will also re-sign a peace treaty and will not attack each other. If anyone else is planning to attack the Vante Empire, our Mage Brigade from the Smart Empire will give them a devastating blow.
.”
The tall but thin prime minister of the Bicester Empire hummed: "Our Bicester Empire is the same. We are the staunchest ally of the Vant Empire. Whoever dares to attack the Vant Empire will be attacked by our Bicester Cavalry."
Give them a heavy blow, please think about it carefully."
Lei was stunned. He really didn't understand why there was such rebellion within the Six-Nation Alliance. Only Jerry stood behind, with a sarcastic look on his face. The Bicester Empire's defection was because of the Vatican
The armies of the northern provinces of the Fante Empire have already arrived under their imperial capital, and they can't do anything without signing an alliance. As for the Smart Empire, except for the Xili Province and the Qingfeng Plain that were returned to the Fante Empire, the other three southern provinces were returned to the Fante Empire.
All provinces will become their territory, so they don't care about the compensation of 200 million gold coins at all.
That's it, everything is politics, and interests are the most important. Of course, the Smart Empire is not stupid. They understand that the Vant Empire will definitely find a way to get back those three provinces, but that will be a long time later.
, now that they have obtained the benefits, they do not want to continue fighting.
The prime ministers and military ministers of the other four countries looked surprised and began to think silently. Messot smiled proudly, made a few gestures and said: "Then, let's go in and have a good talk, right now?
It’s our three countries versus your four countries, so we have to talk about certain things carefully. We in the Fante Empire are not the kind of people who push for too far, but you still have to understand that you killed us so much
There are many elite soldiers, and their training expenses, family pensions, etc. still need to be carefully calculated."
Sidok nodded towards Lei, smiled and re-entered the door with Messot. The two ministers from Smart went in with smiles on their faces, while the two ministers from Bister left a little helplessly.
Go in. The ministers from the other four countries looked at each other a few times and exchanged a few subtle glances before slowly walking in.
The wind blew in from outside the yard, and Lei finally felt that something was wrong. He quickly shouted: "Jerry, my clothes, my clothes, oh, prepare some clothes for me."
Jerry laughed and pulled Lei upstairs. He whispered: "This is the only courtyard in the 'City of Gods' that is more luxuriously decorated and can accommodate more guests, so the ministers hold meetings there.
Here. As for you, you were seriously injured, so Mr. Messot specially ordered you to come here... But, Lei, you shocked us just now, your fighting spirit is too strong.
Some. We are the fifth-level gold knights, and the intensity of fighting spirit is no more than this. According to your current size, your muscle strength is also very strong. Hehe, when you return to the imperial capital, I will arrange for you to participate in the knight promotion competition.
"
Lei shook his head: "Promotion? Forget it, I don't want people to challenge me for duels every day in the imperial capital. Didn't you say that if a noble's son is promoted to a high-level knight, there will always be countless duels waiting for him?
Him? I don’t want to be killed, nor do I want to kill anyone.”
Jerry laughed wildly: "Oh my God, my God, Lei, those are ordinary noble children. If they are members of a big noble like us and are protected by more than a dozen family knights when they go out, who would dare to challenge us for a duel?...
Let me tell you, in the imperial capital, if we are in a crowded place, we have to put on a show to make others think we are knights, but behind the scenes, who has the patience to accept the challenge of those boring little people? Just deal with it...
.Besides, don’t forget, you are the commander of the Mad Dragon Legion. According to the empire’s establishment.”
Lomat answered: "According to the empire's establishment, the legion commander can have a team of five hundred personal guard knights, including fifty gold fifth-level knights. At the same time, any challenge to the legion commander will be
It will be regarded as a provocation to the dignity of the empire and will be subject to severe sanctions... The Imperial Security Department specializes in helping the great nobles clean up their heads and tails. So, sir, you don't have to worry about what will happen after you become a fifth-level gold knight.
Someone dares to challenge you."
Lei nodded confusedly and said: "So, it looks pretty good. This legion commander should be considered a very big official position in the empire, right?"
Jerry showed an incredible expression: "Oh my god, my god, Lei, what do you think it is like to be the commander of the Five Beasts Legion directly under the emperor of the empire? The lowest rank of the commander of the army is lieutenant general, and the lowest title is earl.
Yeah, you are now an earl, and your military rank will also be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. In the empire's military system, you are the person with the most power besides the grand knights of the Knights Association and the Minister of Military Affairs. Your fiefdom should be very large.
It’s a piece of land, and you can do whatever you want on that piece of land.”
Lei's eyes widened: "So, can I take my mother to the imperial capital?"
Jerry raised his eyebrows: "Of course, Mr. Lei, you are a big shot in the empire now, aren't you? Crete, I'll leave this matter to you. Where is Mr. Lei's origin? Go and pick up his mother.
Imperial Capital, you are leaving now, do you understand?"
Crete looked at Lei with a questioning expression, and Lei grinned: "My home is in Kali Village in Xili Province, this... Crete, you can find out where my home is by asking the village chief. But
, you should bring more gold coins over there, my military achievements will be converted into gold coins, there should be a lot of them, please give them all to the people in the village, it’s troublesome.”
Crete gave a respectful military salute and said with a smile: "It is my honor to serve you. Mr. Lei, I will set off now. As for the gold coins, it is not a problem. I can go directly to the local civil affairs officer to mobilize them. I will give them to you then."
They just send an official document. I'll leave now..." Crete turned around, took a dozen knights with him, and rushed out in a hurry.
Going upstairs and entering the room just now, he saw the furniture destroyed by Lei's fighting spirit. Lomat shook his head and rummaged through the remains of a cabinet. Finally, he found some of Lei's clothes and let Lei wear them.
on the body.
Jerry touched his chin and said with a smile: "Those ministers were in a meeting, but the garrison leaders of the 'Sacred City' simply avoided them to avoid them making certain requests that were difficult to answer in private. Well, they were also afraid of it again.
Let's get involved in this inexplicable war... We should not conflict with the armies of other countries in the 'City of Gods' these days. After all, when the peace agreement is signed, we will be close allies for a long time.
Already."
Lei said gloomily: "But this time their coalition forces attacked us, is this the end of it?"
Jerry laughed: "How is that possible? Lei, no matter what, our army suffered a lot of losses, so we must reorganize our five-beast army, and..." Jerry lowered his voice and came closer.
Lei's ears whispered: "Furthermore, Master Messot told me that the empire is preparing to expand its army. In the past, the total strength of the Five Beast Legion was about 300,000, but now the new Five Beast Legion is preparing to expand to 700,000.
.”
Lei Ye lowered his voice subconsciously: "The Empire, are you ready to retaliate against those countries?" There was a ferocious light in his eyes.
Jerry smiled sinisterly: "Of course, they are eyeing the fertile land of our Vante Empire, but we are also eyeing their territory. Also, the empire is preparing to strengthen its control over local lords and ask them to train a strong local private army.
The army came out... Those lords are so shameless. They privately over-staffed and trained a lot of troops, but the elite strength is only tens of thousands, how can it be enough? The empire has twenty-one provinces, if every province has one
With 40,000 elites, we can defeat any empire."
Lei nodded heavily and said fiercely: "When I get to the imperial capital, I will personally train those soldiers. I will train a group of archers... hum."
Jerry smiled slyly: "No, Lei, I heard about the arrangements for you. After you return to the Imperial Capital, the first thing you will do is go to school. You must go to the Imperial Capital Military Academy to study tactical theory and so on...
Hehe, there are several academies nearby and there are many beauties. You haven’t tried the taste of a woman yet, right? I will take you there then... Hehe."
Lei looked at Jerry dumbfounded, speechless. Jerry smiled proudly and stroked his chin full of longing.
The second day was uneventful, the third day was uneventful, and it was not until the fourth day that those old ministers finally negotiated an agreement.
The Smart Empire compensated the Vante Empire with 200 million gold coins. The agreement did not mention whether the Smart Empire would return the southern province. These were private and secret agreements and did not need to be known to everyone. Bis
The Te Empire compensated the Van Te Empire with 500,000 fine war horses and millions of cattle, sheep and livestock. Several other countries compensated the Van Te Empire with varying amounts of gold coins ranging from 30 million to 100 million, and also donated a batch of minerals.
Resources to the Vant Empire.
In short, with the secret mediation of the head of the garrison in the 'Sacred City', and with both Smart and the Bist Empire 'betraying', these old men finally reached an agreement that was extremely beneficial to the Vante Empire. Moreover, the agreement stipulated that
, within five years, no country will be allowed to start a war, and all countries will be allies during these five years.
Lei asked Jerry puzzledly: "No war is allowed for five years? Do we need five years to train the Five Beast Legion? Or..."
Jerry laughed sinisterly: "Lei, you are too naive. The so-called peace agreement is just like a little girl's *, it will break with a gentle poke. It is not worth anything at all. With such a clause, it is nothing more than
It shows the sincerity of our empire and shows that we will not launch revenge soon. At the same time, it gives those empires a reassurance and asks them to send up the gold coins for compensation. You must know that although our empire has lost a lot of main legions, their
Seventy to eighty percent of the elite legion has been eliminated. Look at how many coalition soldiers the Knights of Glory have killed."
Lei snorted softly and nodded slowly. Jerry shrugged his shoulders, spit heavily, and said: "Every country is unwilling to give in now, but it really doesn't have the strength to fight.
Especially the Smart Empire, their mage team has lost a lot. If it takes three years to train a powerful knight, then it will take thirty years to train a powerful magician. Therefore, Smart
The Te Empire has made a lot of concessions this time."
Jerry smiled sinisterly as he watched the ministers downstairs hugging and greeting each other, and whispered: "When the countries recover, maybe this continent will still be in chaos. Anyway, the continent has been in chaos for hundreds of thousands of years.
Let's continue. When everyone is ready to go to war, maybe the Wright Empire and the Dark Empire will be the first to attack each other, and it may not be us, the Vante Empire, who will be the first to attack."
Lei looked at Jerry in confusion, shook his head, and asked himself if he couldn't figure out these things, so he didn't bother to think about it.
Three more days later, the coalition forces from various countries slowly drove out of the 'Sacred City', and Hart and the others also gave an obvious explanation: "In view of the fact that this attack by the criminals caused a lot of casualties to the defenders in the city, so
The 'Sacred City' will be closed again in the next ten years, and no warrior from the 'Sacred City' will ever appear on the mainland again... I hope that the top leaders of various countries will abide by the peace agreement and stop indiscriminately launching wars."
Hart and the others are not worried about anything. After being attacked by the criminals, each country will be calm for a period of time, because people need to adjust psychologically, especially after all, the countries have been fighting with coalition forces for a while, and there is no need to talk nonsense.
Perhaps this is the hypocritical side of those nobles who will continue the war soon. What they have to do now is to restore the military strength of the 'Sacred City' as soon as possible and wait for the next attack in two hundred years.
Lei rode on a tall war horse and looked back at the tall city wall. The horse he sat on was specially selected by Li and given to him, saying that he couldn't bear to see a gorilla riding on a poor little horse.
Immediately, so this horse is very tall and very strong, which just meets Lei's current needs.
Lei shook his head. Although there are still many things he doesn't understand very well, there is peace now, and he is going to the imperial capital of the Fante Empire. Hehe, he is the count of the empire, the commander of the army, and the holder of the rank of lieutenant general in the army. Lei thought of this.
, his heart was filled with joy, and he thought: "In the future, I won't have to weed the grass myself, right? Someone should do this kind of thing for me."
