This day is a highly anticipated day, because the peace talks between the three empires were finally held as scheduled in the Shadow Empire.
In the previous battle at Varok Fortress, the two empires of Fallen Angel and Blood Demon were at loggerheads. It was not until the participation of the Shadow Empire that the three kingdoms reached a truce. However, during the truce talks, the three emperors encountered an unexpected secret.
The attack of the "Blood Annihilation" force resulted in the death of the blood evil prince Tris, and civil strife broke out in the three kingdoms at the same time. The three emperors suspended the peace talks for half a year and tried their best to quell the civil strife. Now that the three kingdoms have returned to stability, the peace talks have finally restarted.
Similar to the layout of the last "round table conference" in Black Cloud Town, negotiations centered on the three emperors began in the conference hall of the Shadow Palace.
It stands to reason that the negotiation process this time should be much smoother than the last time, because when they were in Heiyun Town, the three parties had already reached a consensus on many conditions. However, unexpectedly, on the most critical issue, there was
There were differences.
The key is: armistice agreement or peace covenant?
In this kind of negotiation, the significance of the two cannot be equated. The armistice agreement represents the time for recuperation and recuperation, and the war will probably continue to start; while the peace covenant is the real end of the war, just like three hundred years ago.
As signed by the three countries, all wars are prohibited. The country that starts the war first will be jointly attacked by the other two countries.
The key to this disagreement lies with Lei Chan, who only agreed to sign an armistice agreement but was unwilling to sign a peace covenant.
Katherine sighed: "Your Majesty Lei Chan, at this point, is your goal still war?"
"It's not that I want war, but you do." Lei Chan shook his head: "The development of the Fallen Angel Empire is obvious to all, and the same is true for the Shadow Empire as a partner. According to this momentum, in a few years, the Blood Evil Empire will become
The weakest existence, as long as a war is launched, the Blood Evil Empire will be the first to perish."
"It is my honor to be recognized by His Majesty Lei Chan for the development of the Fallen Angel Empire," Shia said: "However, Your Majesty has been too concerned about the fact that the future demon world will be a demon world where the three empires will develop and prosper together.
, the people enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age away from war."
"Throughout the history of the demon world, there is no real peace at all. As long as there is an empire, there is no way to avoid disputes and wars. As an emperor, ambition and national interests are the two most basic qualities. In fact, we all know that once ambition is
If it exceeds the constraints or has enough interests to launch a war, then the so-called peace covenant will become a piece of paper, and the peace you are talking about now is just to prepare for future wars."
"Your Majesty Lei Chan," Shia frowned and said, "I think you have misunderstood."
"I didn't misunderstand. Just what you said before cannot convince me. Just explain it. Edmund and Aleus are dead, and Tris is dead too." Speaking of these names, Lei Chan's
His tone became lower: "Although I still have a son,... the Blood Evil Empire has no successors.
Your existence and speed of development make me feel a huge threat. After I retire or fall, the future Blood Evil Empire will probably lose the ability to compete with you two. I would rather choose to fight now."
Hearing Lei Chan say this, Kathleen and Shia looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Next to Shia, Chen Rui's voice rang out: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. I have a few words. I wonder if I can say them out?"
Shia and Kathleen naturally had no objection. Lei Chan glanced at Chen Rui and nodded.
Several scribes in charge of recording showed surprises. "Agulie" was just the fiancé of the Fallen Angel Queen. He had no say in such negotiations, but he was incredibly recognized by the three emperors.
Naturally, the scribes didn't know that if it hadn't been for this "quasi-king husband." Three emperors had fallen during the battle in Heiyun Town, and the entire demon world might have changed.
"Why haven't your three majesties considered merging the three empires into a true national alliance?" Chen Rui finally proposed an idea that he had been brewing for a long time.
The three emperors looked surprised at the same time. Three empires merged?
Shia's first reaction was surprise because Chen Rui rushed to the Shadow Empire just this morning. Perhaps due to time constraints, he did not communicate this idea to her.
Katherine was equally surprised, but the eyes behind the veil were more indifferent.
Lei Chan was more direct and said disdainfully: "This joke is not funny at all. If your purpose is not to fool us, then I can only give this proposal a four-word evaluation, naive and ignorant."
"The origin of any complex thing is pure and simple, as for ignorance..., so I am fearless, so I can break the rules," Chen Rui's face remained unchanged, "As His Majesty Lei Chan said, as long as more than one empire exists,
War cannot be avoided. What if we change the angle and turn this number into one? This will be an unprecedented system, and it may become a change of the times. Each country participating in the alliance still has independent legislation, administration, and military.
, financial and other aspects of power, it is still a sovereign independent country. Countries will achieve comprehensive cooperation and sharing in technology, economy, resources and other aspects, share weal and woe, and share weal and woe. Resolutions related to the alliance can be approved by the summit and take effect.
.
Although this is just a preliminary idea, we will encounter various difficulties and disagreements during implementation. However, as long as we have a unified understanding and persist in improving and moving forward in this general direction, I believe that the alliance will gradually achieve strength, economy and
Unified with freedom, our people will abandon hatred, stay away from war, and usher in true peace..."
The expressions of the three emperors finally changed. Although Chen Rui later gave detailed explanations on several key issues, the system of this "Imperial Alliance" was really unheard of. Even Katherine could not help but show doubts.
Frowning and saying nothing.
"Hmph!" Lei Chan sneered: "Are you sure that the Beelzebub clan is willing to accept the so-called alliance? If this alliance is really established, then the God-Eating Empire will never be able to recover."
"The Beelzebub clan actually has nothing to do with me," Chen Rui shook his head. "If I were the leader of the Beelzebub clan, as long as I could make the people abandon hatred and war, regain their glory in peace, and live and reproduce openly, then I would
Consider this proposal seriously rather than treating it as a joke."
Lei Chan was silent for a moment, then the commander said: "Are you sure you can break the Qiang An curse on me?"
"If the light and dark elements can be lifted separately, I am 100% sure." Chen Rui did not boast. The light curse can be solved with Xuedalei, and the dark curse brother... With the king of dark elements here, it is just a little effort.
That's all, according to Tris' original words, this dark curse was originally imposed by the Dark Element King on Lei Chan during the Dark Furnace.
"Okay." Lei Chan suddenly asked another irrelevant question: "How long will it take to unlock the confinement of your magic weapon?"
That look made Chen Rui raise his eyebrows, and he vaguely guessed something: "I don't understand, what does this matter have to do with today's negotiation?"
"You...understand," Lei Chan looked directly at Chen Rui, as if he only had eyes for this person, "Since you defeated the person I have been chasing, my opponent has been you. Now, I need answers.
"
Chen Rui glanced at Kathleen: "Two years."
Due to some special reasons, the two-year period of the True Flame Shackles has been shortened a lot. In addition, after defeating Tris this time, he seems to have comprehended a trace of the power of the Law of Destruction. Chen Rui expects to be able to completely absorb it within a year.
The power of True Flame Shackles, but he did not tell the truth because he had already made a decision in his heart, an important decision.
"Then..." Lei Chan nodded, "This time the truce will last for two years. The Blood Evil Empire has a martial arts ranking competition every ten years. Two years later, I will hold a martial arts competition again, but this time for
It belongs to the whole demon world. If you can defeat me or win the first place in the martial arts competition, I will seriously consider the alliance and peace you mentioned, and I will do what I say."
Chen Rui did not answer, but looked at Kathleen and Shia.
"Lei Chan, maybe as that person said, you are more suitable to be a warrior rather than King Ti," Catherine sighed, "Isn't it too hasty to decide the fate of an empire in this way?"
"You can understand that I need to recuperate for two years while waiting to see the situation in the devil world; you can also understand that I am acting on impulse and using Lei Chan's method to solve the problem... Kathleen, if you want to convince me, you can also use
The same way. This is actually a very demonic way, where the strong are respected, as long as your fist is big, you are the right one. Agulie, what do you think?"
Chen Rui has made up his mind, without any hesitation in his eyes, showing strong confidence: "Your Majesty Lei Chan, for the first time, I have a sense of identity with you. I only hope that your Majesty will not regret today's decision when the time comes."
"Very good!" Lei Chan suddenly showed a rare smile: "However, even if it is an armistice, corresponding terms must be indispensable. In the past two years, especially the new things and new technologies that have emerged in the Fallen Angel Empire
, it must be shared with the Blood Fiend Empire."
Shia looked into Chen Rui's eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "If Your Majesty Catherine has no objection, then we can discuss the terms of the truce now."
Kathleen's eyes passed over Xia and Lei Chan, and landed on Chen Rui. Her calm eyes flashed slightly, and she finally nodded.
After reaching this consensus, the subsequent negotiation of terms went very smoothly.
All wars between the three countries will cease within two years.
The Fallen Angel Empire shares magic TV, battle balls, rice wine and other technologies with the other two empires.
Within two years, all new technologies emerging in the Fallen Angel Empire will be shared with the other two empires.
At the beginning of next year, the upcoming Apothecary Competition in the Fallen Angel Imperial Capital will be changed to the Alchemist Competition, which will be jointly organized by the three countries. It includes the Artisan Maker Competition and the Apothecary Competition, and will be divided into two groups: Alchemist and Alchemist Master, and the rankings will be calculated separately.
In the second half of the year, the three empires will hold an exciting battle ball league. Each empire will have three teams competing at home and away. The winner will be the one with the highest points at the end of the season. All competitions will be broadcast live on Magic TV.
