    "Hehehehe.¡é¡ê"

    Hearing what he said, the old man of the Fox tribe smiled.

    "Your Majesty, there is no need to pretend to be confused, right? If it weren't for Saint-Austin's 200,000 reinforcements that were about to cut off your retreat to the Principality of Bernardo, would you still invite us to talk so calmly?  "

    The High Priest of the Beast King God, who had completely taken the initiative, was too lazy to talk in circles with the other party, and pointed out straight to the point the awkwardness of the other party's current situation.

    Eh?  The big lion Rodman has arrived?  The action is quite fast!

    Hearing what the old man of the Fox tribe said, Feng Kan finally had a little grasp of the current situation.

    No matter what, this is good news.

    No wonder.

    No wonder Count Calidos took the initiative to ask for a dialogue with the highest level of the Santa League. The originally invincible offensive was hindered. Although the Santa League was weak, it did not collapse as expected. Instead, it gradually adapted to the view of the Principality of Bernardo.  The seemingly incredible tactical maneuvers gradually regained balance on the battlefield, and the retreat of the Principality of Bernardo's army in the expedition to the Fritt Wasteland was now being threatened by the Royal Army of St. Austen. So, Bernardo  Do the armies of the principalities already want to retreat?  Was this conversation possible because of the fear of being fucked by the Santa Alliance troops?

    Butthat's not right!

    If this were the case, how could a shrewd man like Count Kalidos reveal his intentions to the enemy so obviously?

    Is there anything fishy in this?

    No, judging from the long-term performance of the Jammings Empire, there must be something fishy about it.

    The question is - what conspiracy does Count Kalidos want to play?

    Thinking of this, Feng Kan unconsciously looked at the inheritor beside him.

    ""

    Xiu had a rough idea at this time. Maybe he also noticed something was wrong, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

    "Hehehe. I do not deny what the chief priest said, but"

    Count Calidos stroked the gray beard under his chin, looking confident.

    "The situation of your army at the moment is not much better than ours, right?"

    "Yeah?"

    Hearing what he said, the old man of the Fox clan raised his eyebrows slightly.

    "Your army has completely run out of food a month ago. Although St. Austen's reinforcements have arrived on the battlefield, it is not a task that can be completed in a short time to provide hundreds of thousands of soldiers with sufficient supplies immediately, right? I  It is admitted that the warriors of the Shanta Alliance are indeed very brave. It is indeed unheard of to be able to sustain for such a long time when they are running out of ammunition and food. Your army has indeed created this miracle, but how long can such a miracle last?  I think the respected high priest himself knows this, right?"

    ""

    Neither the old man of the Fox clan nor the people behind him spoke, but just looked at the opposite side, not knowing whether it was because Count Kalidos was right or because he was considering what Count Kalidos' intentions were.

    Feng Kan secretly rubbed his teeth. He came to Fritt Wasteland to solve this problem for the Shanta Alliance. If it hadn't been for the three immortals who met the Blood Feast, the supplies of the Shanta Alliance would have been gone.  Problem.

    But the problems don¡¯t end there.

    The war that lasted for nearly three months made both sides feel exhausted. Of course, the Shanta Alliance was unable to follow up because it was cut off from supplies.  The Principality of Bernardo is not necessarily much better than its opponents.

    Feng Kan and the others had previously discovered through extraterrestrial satellites that the Bernardo Army used precise mobilization and layout to use only three to four hundred thousand troops to give the illusion of a million-strong army. This is an amazing tactic, but this tactic  This was achieved by relying on the soldiers to severely overdraw their physical strength and even their vitality. A person's life is limited. In such constant fierce battles, even if they are not killed, the surviving soldiers probably will not be able to continue, right?

    Maybe in Bernardo¡¯s plan, the war should have ended long ago, right?  No one would have expected that the resilience and perseverance displayed by the Shanta Alliance Army would be so amazing, and that the short-term decisive battle would be delayed into a protracted war with rapid consumption.

    The generals of the Principality of Bernardo may not feel very tired.  But the ordinary soldiers they led must no longer be able to hold on.

    So¡­¡­

    "What do you mean, Lord Count?"

    After pondering for a long time, the High Priest of the Beast King God raised his head and asked cautiously.

    "If the stalemate continues like this, it won't be beneficial to either of us, right? So I suggest we just end it here."

      !  !  ?  ?  ?  ?

    No one expected that Count Kalidos would speak so plainly, not even Feng Kan and the others.

    "If this stalemate continues, the only one who will be more and more disadvantaged is Bernardo, right?"

    But it is obvious that the elders of the Fox clan will not simply hand over the leadership to the other party.

    "Haha, I don't want to deny this. The Santa Alliance, which received the assistance of St. Augustine, can indeed completely defeat our army, but even if some time passes, we are not completely incapable of fighting.  Ah."

    The left corner of Earl Kalidos's mouth was slightly raised, and there was a faint light in his half-closed eyes as if he was not awake, and there was a hint of threat in his words.

    "Since the warriors of the Shanta Alliance can persevere until now despite being at an absolute disadvantage, they can definitely continue to persevere until the war is truly over."

    However, the old priest of the Fox clan was not frightened. He sneered and pushed back the other party's words.

    If someone gives in at this time, the rest of the conversation will have to follow the other person¡¯s footsteps.

    Feng Kan was watching the actions of both parties carefully from the side. He felt that the current scene was just like two gang bosses negotiating. The only difference was the size of the subordinates behind them - they could pull hundreds of thousands of people.  You could search all over the world to find a gang that negotiates with guns and knives.

    "Dear Priest, I think we don't need to continue to struggle with this issue, right? Let's talk about some constructive topics, such as: how to end this war more decently. You can't deny that this is important to us.  It¡¯s the best choice for both of us, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    Seeing that the two sides were getting more and more stalemate, Count Kalidos immediately changed the subject.

    It seems that he really doesn¡¯t want this negotiation to break down easily. Does that mean he really wants to end this war?

    ¡°Hehehehe¡­ Sir Earl seems to be very forgetful.¡±

    "how?"

    "Have you forgotten how this war happened?"

    The old man of the Fox tribe laughed, but it was out of anger.

    This war started due to the Duke of Bernardo¡¯s brazen invasion of the endless plains.

    When the situation becomes unfavorable, do you start to withdraw and leave to conserve your strength?

    Are you kidding me?

    You fight when you want to fight, but you don¡¯t fight when you don¡¯t want to fight?  Where in the world can such a cheap thing come from?

    I remember a strategic expert once said this in the past: War can start anytime you want to fight, but it will not stop when you want to stop.

    As long as the Santa Alliance still holds its breath, the Principality of Bernardo will not be able to withdraw from the battlefield so easily.

    "Of course I won't forget it."

    But facing the aggressive questioning from the old man of the Fox clan, Count Kalidos admitted very frankly, without even twitching his eyebrows.

    "But how will continuing to discuss this issue at this time help the current situation? Let's talk about the future."

    Count Calidos is indeed very nimble, and he is so handy when he uses evasive means like this.

    Such a principled issue was passed over by him lightly and deftly.

    ¡­Xiu, you are an out-and-out old loach!

    Hearing this, Feng Kan, who was playing the role of Soy Sauce on the side, couldn't help but turned his head and whispered in Xiu's ear.

    ""

    Regarding such evaluation, what can our inheritors say?  What Feng Kan said was true, Xiu Wei could only smile bitterly.

    "Soldiers of the Santa Alliance haven't had a decent meal for several months, right? There were indeed many soldiers who died in the past battles, but there were also a lot of soldiers who starved to death, right? Just like now  , I think there are also many Santa League soldiers who are struggling on the verge of death because of hunger, right?"

    ""

    The old man of the Fox tribe did not refute this time, because such a move was just a foolish act based on emotion, and what the other party said was indeed the truth, and this was indeed an issue that could not be avoided.

    As the saying goes, "People are like iron, and rice is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry." All warm-blooded animals must eat frequently to provide energy for their bodies. This is an objective fact and will never be affected by subjective will.  As the ruler of District 11 preached in ancient times, "For the sake of face, a samurai must hold a toothpick in his mouth to show that he has eaten, even if he has not eaten, and must not show it.""Looking hungry" is a nonsense that only a second-rate person can come up with.

    No strength means no strength. Even if you put a knife on his neck and tell him that he must have strength, he still has no strength.

    "In this case, I would like to make a proposal that is beneficial to both parties."

    Seeing that the other party did not reply, Count Kalidos assumed that the other party had acquiesced, so he continued.

    "I hereby propose that from today on, the two sides will no longer engage in battle. Each side will retreat fifteen miles. You and I will never engage in any active military actions. My respected chief priest, if you can  Accept my proposal"

    With that said, Count Kalidos waved his hand behind him.

    After his signal, Bernardo's army, which was originally densely arrayed, suddenly branched out into more than a dozen channels, and heavy carts loaded with bulging sacks were pushed into the open space between the two formations.

    "I am willing to use one-third of our existing grain in exchange."
