Chapter 70 Friction and Assassination

The two sides accepted the mediation, and the negotiation location was set in Taquelin, Anthony Das and Taranji and others were excited. They realized that they were doing something of a milestone.

If this mediation is successful, it means that regional conflicts will occur in the future. As long as there is no conflict that cannot be completely reconciled, there is a possibility of a resolution through negotiation.

This means that Anthony Das and his group are likely to be setting rules for the future world.

Even though that's it, when the negotiations started, everyone found that the difficulty was not ordinary.

High elves and trolls have different moral values, which leads to many differences in the negotiation process. The biggest core issues are two: dealing with war criminals and land issues.

If the high elves were thinking, everyone involved in the war should be designated as war criminals. But if that were the case, the young and strong Amani tribe would probably be beaten up in one fell swoop.

Amani believed that almost everyone of the high elves could have magic, and every elves they killed in war had the ability to resist and could not be considered as killing civilians.

Finally, after consultation, the human race and Zandala formulated a trial standard: that is, those who ordered or directly participated in the killing of non-military women and children were designated as war criminals.

In addition, land division is also a major issue.

The High Elves believed that as the victorious party, they should obtain all the land in the Nanyongge Forest, and only preserved Zuo Amani and part of the surrounding land, and ceded the rest to the High Elves.

Once this request was put forward, Zandala expressed dissatisfaction, let alone Amani. They mediated to preserve Amani's strength, how could they agree with such an exaggerated land cede?

It was Anthonydas who persuaded Annasteria that the high elves did not have that large population and could not manage so much land, unless it was said that Silver Moon City could also place a large number of rune stones in the Nanyongge Forest.

But rune stones require a lot of manpower and material resources. Trolls who are unwilling to lose so much land will not be able to place rune stones in Silver Moon City, but will only put Nan Yongge Forest into an endless security battle. The high elves who are trapped in the Nan Yongge Forest will not have more energy to participate in the security issues of Azeroth.

The final agreement was that a diagonal line was drawn between these two points from Yanghen Peak in the northeast of Nanyongge to the Wind Walker Tower on the southwest coast.

This line is named Yanghen-Fengxing Line on the map. The land on the upper left of the middle line of the map is ceded to the high elves, and the land on the lower right is retained to the trolls. Both sides use the lines as the boundary and do not invade each other.

Zulkin generally accepted this arrangement.

But under such a main tone, endless disputes followed: in the process of determining the war criminals, every suspect must be pulled; in the Yanghen-Fengxing land, every piece of land must be quarreled for a long time.

The negotiations lasted for half a month, during which time a decisive battle of Burning Plains broke out in the southern part of the mainland. The reputation of Li De and Turayan spread throughout the mainland in the past few days.

The news reached Yongge Forest, which was also a big impact on all parties in the negotiations. Zulkin couldn't help but feel sad. He and Orgrim had not had a long relationship, but were deeply impressed by the other party's demeanor. Now Orgrim has become a prisoner, what else can he say?

Zulkin's attitude changed and began to cooperate with the negotiations, which made the high elves very proud. The madman they had been staring at for a hundred years finally surrendered today.

Under such circumstances, the nobles in the Silver Moon Parliament who were not optimistic about negotiations were also a little moved. When the negotiations were successful, all members who signed the treaty on behalf of Silver Moon City would definitely obtain considerable political capital.

So the wealthiest member of the Silver Moon Parliament, Alessel Sun Watcher, arranged his son Ragsel Sun Watcher into the negotiating delegation through operations.

Lagsel understood that his father was doing this to pave the way for himself. So he tried his best to highlight himself in the delegation, and often made some excessive demands for Amani, which often made unhappy at the negotiating table.

Of course, in the face of the big trend, one or two jumping clowns were harmless. But shortly after a bad negotiation ended, a bloody friction broke out in the Salas Trail!

Zurkin has now almost accepted the results of the negotiations. In order not to interfere with the negotiations, he decided to send his confidants to inform the southern tribes and cancel the previously agreed military plan.

But the person sent out for several days but didn't come back, which made Zulkin a little suspicious.

He didn't know that the people he sent out were captured by Hadurun Mingyi's troops as soon as they entered the Salas Trail.

Hadurun has been stationed here half a month ago after arguing with Dalkan to block the road to the south. Since the negotiations began, Hadurun has not believed that Zulkin had sincere negotiations. Now he has captured Zulkin's confidants, which has further strengthened Hadurun's judgment:

Zulkin wanted to paralyze the high elves in the name of negotiations, contact the trolls of other tribes in private, and once again attacked Quelthalas!

After deciding on this matter, Hadurun immediately ordered the troops to have a level 1 combat readiness.

It shouldn't be so coincidental that because I haven't received any contact from Zulkin, the forest troll, who had been in a mess, decided to send a unit north to see the situation.

It was a team of 1,000 people from the Rotten Moss Tribe. As soon as these 1,000 Rotten Moss Trolls entered the Salas Trail, they were attacked by the Hadurun Rangers! All the troops were wiped out at night!

The Rangers' troops saw off the right fangs of the rotten moss trolls, and while remembering their military achievements, they also brought them to the negotiation venue to question Zulkin.

If Zulkin might have had some other thoughts before, then this time he was really wronged, especially when he saw 1,000 bloody fangs, Zulkin's eyes were even more congested.

Not to mention Zulkin, Taranji and Lar, the sand trolls such as Nipur who have never been involved in their affairs, are furious when they see this scene. Reasonable creatures can hurt their species. Although the sand trolls and forest trolls are very close, they always have similar appearances.

Hadurun's army used such cruel means to execute the rotten moss trolls and saw off their fangs before they were investigated clearly. Even Antonidas felt a little uncomfortable.

"Damn White Skin! You use part of my family to frame me?! What do you think we are? Are animals?!"

Zulkin was trembling all over, and the pair of fangs exposed outside the mask moved up and down.

Hadurun was unmoved. He was a soldier and he was only responsible for the safety of the High Elves.

"False accusation? I personally caught your confidant whom you sent out to ask for help. If I hadn't blocked the road to the south, I'm afraid we would have died here today!"

"You have blocked the road to the south?"

Anthonydas looked at Hadurun in disbelief. How could such an act be possible during the negotiations?! More importantly, these elves actually hid themselves as the mediator!

"Haha! It turns out that you are the one who has no credit! Use negotiations as an excuse to demand a ceasefire, but in fact you mobilize teams to surround us... Let any negotiations go to hell!"

Zulkin roared and was about to attack Hadurun, but unexpectedly, Lar hugged him quickly.

"Don't be impulsive! You have reached this point. Do you want all your previous efforts to be wasted? I will let the elves give us an explanation!"

Upon hearing Raal's words, Zulkin stopped struggling. It was not that he was persuaded by Raal, but that he no longer trusted Zandala at this moment.

At this time, Zulkin looked at everyone in the venue:

‘They... are all my enemies!’

Almost in a moment, a brilliant revenge plan appeared in Zulkin's mind. He did not speak anymore, but turned around and left the venue.

"I'll keep an eye on him."

Taranji, who had no choice but to see him, spoke, and Lar left a short sentence and followed him out.

"Don't try to run away in a pretentious manner!"

Hadurun was still determined to chase after him, Taranji took a step sideways and stopped him in front of Hadurun. A faint fire-like light burst out from his eyes.

"You said you caught Zulkin's confidant, what about the people? Can you bring them out to confront each other?"

Hadu said it naturally.

"I have executed that spy."

"Have you been interrogated? I know that Zulkin sent someone out. He wants to notify the cancellation of the plan to send troops. You take it for granted that the war is going to start again?! And! Who gives you the power to kill the other party without authorization during the negotiation?!"

Taranji suddenly burst out with a strong aura. Many things have been dealt with by Lar, which has led people to think Taranji is just a tablet. But now Taranji's performance has surprised Anthonydas.

"Princess Taranji please calm down. I am willing to believe that Zulkin sent his confidants out of kindness. But he should say hello to us first in this kind of thing, otherwise a misunderstanding would be the result of today and the price of his life would be paid.

Hadurun, I also think Zulkin has no intention of sabotaging the negotiations. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be only 1,000 trolls entering the Salas Trail. Such a small number of people is not related to this war.”

After all, Anthonydas is the mediator of the high elves. Even if he is dissatisfied with the elves' behavior, he must reconcile in the middle at this time and do not further intensify his emotions.

"But someone died, and in the negotiations, 1,000 forest trolls died inexplicably."

Taranji said gritting her teeth, Anthony Das tried to stabilize her mood.

"I can understand your feelings, but they are not Amani tribes and have little connection with negotiations..."

Seeing that Taranji was on the verge of attack, Anthony Das quickly continued.

"But in order to express our apology, we will compensate the deceased by giving up some of the benefits at the negotiating table."

"Yes, we'll make compensation."

At this time, the negotiator of Silver Moon City, Beloval Sarona, also expressed his attitude. The great magician himself was a member of the Silver Moon Council. This great magician was upright and focused on the Elf King, and was the best candidate for negotiations on behalf of the Elf King.

After hearing Beloval, who represents the Elf King, say this, Taranji could only accept such a result. Although she was extremely angry, she did not forget what was more important.

However, no one noticed that in the Silver Moon City delegation, there was a person full of worry. It was Rothema Theron who entered the delegation as the front-line commander. He served only as a counselor in the delegation, and his status was comparable to that of the mixed-class Ragsel Japanese observer.

Rothema Theron has a wise mind far beyond his fellow tribe. He calmly analyzed it: it is meaningless to convince Taranji, and the key to the problem is still Zulkin.

If Zulkin no longer trusts negotiations because of today's incident, then he must plan to move towards the worst direction.

Just in response to Rothema's guess, things were going worse than he thought.

After the negotiations ended, Taranji found Zulkin. At that time, Lar was still persuading him, but Zulkin was not moved at all, but he didn't speak, just sat quietly.

"Under my pressure, the High Elves decided to give up some of the benefits and compensate the dead of the rotten moss tribe. We cannot ruin big things because of a momentary impulse, and the subsequent negotiations must continue."

When Zulkin heard Taranji say this, he seemed to have changed his mind and stared at the other party for a while before speaking in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Princess Taranji, I understand."

Although they didn't believe that Zulkin was really angry, Taranji and Lar were still a little relieved and went back to their rooms.

But just in the middle of the night, Lar heard a disturbance outside the door, as if someone was prying his window

"who?!"

The keen Lar woke up suddenly, then got out of bed and opened the door. But when he chased him out, he was still too late and saw a blurry figure running towards the distance.

"Want to run?!"

Lar is the priest of the god of the sky, Paku, with super fast speed and soaring power. He doesn't believe anyone can escape him.

But soon Lar went from confidence to shock, but at his speed, he couldn't catch up with the other person. Lar watched the man suddenly become like a bobcat running from a distance, and he also picked up the road with lush trees and weeds. After chasing for more than ten miles, Lar actually chased the man away.

"asshole!"

Lar cursed in dismay, and suddenly he realized something was wrong. The man threw away the power he used, which obviously seemed to come from Loa. Those who could use Loa's power here...

"not good!!!"

Lar shouted and turned around and rushed back. He should have thought of it. That guy Zulkin didn't take this breath so easily! But Lar really didn't expect that Zulkin began to become hostile to Zandala, but he just didn't know what Zulkin was going to do with these tricks in the middle of the night?!

When Lar returns to his room, he knows what Zulkin wants to do, and puts a bloody head on his bed! Ragsel Sun Watcher!
