Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Shutana Hardy's face couldn't be complicated.  +¡ô

    To be honest, I felt very embarrassed to see Feng Kan's dragon knight captain again. As early as when he was in the holy city of Garde Tervaz, he had repeatedly expressed his intention to persuade Count Kalidos to stop this hopeless war, and  He did think so in his heart, but after returning to Camp Bernardo, he and his young dragon knights were isolated. Although they were not questioned or tortured, they never met Count Kalidos again.  The opportunity came, and what followed was a series of dazzling things - all the dragon knights except them were gathered together, and all the teams abandoned their baggage and heavy equipment and marched quickly in a roundabout way

    It was only after the thing that no one could understand happened that Count Kalidos sent someone to summon Shutana Hardy to speak, and the Dragon Knight Captain had the opportunity to briefly explain what he had seen and heard in Gadetevac.  Said it again.

    In fact, the responsibility for this matter does not lie with him, but the upright dragon knight has always felt guilty for not fulfilling his promise well.

    "Tell me what you want."

    After sitting down, Count Kalidos immediately asked the question in his heart straight to the point.

    "What do you think? This is what we have to ask, right? By the way, this time it was Bernardo who invaded the Santa League, not the Santa League who went to Bernardo to act wild, right? Why does it feel like we are bullying you?  "

    Once he heard what Count Kalidos said, Feng Kan was very angry.

    ¡°¡­Then what do you want?¡±

    Count Calidos stared expressionlessly into Feng Kan¡¯s eyes and continued. Although he didn¡¯t say it explicitly, it also meant that he admitted that he was in the wrong.

    "I don't want to do anything."

    Feng Kan easily leaned comfortably on the backrest and stretched.

    "You retreat, we will go home."

    ""

    ""

    ""

    ""

    ¡°¡­Is this the end?¡±

    "It's over, what else do you want?"

    ""

    Count Calidos¡¯ eyes widened and he looked at Feng Kan as if he were an alien.  After a while, he seemed uneasy and looked at High Priest Visit sitting next to Feng Kan doubtfully.

    "The words of the prophet are accurate."

    The old priest of the Fox tribe didn¡¯t even raise his eyelids, and said this calmly with a smile that seemed to have a meaningful meaning on the corner of his mouth.

    "¡­¡­Eh?"

    This time, not only Count Kalidos, but also Feng Kan and the others were taken aback.

    No one expected that the old priest of the Beast King would be so happy. Although Feng Kan had the inexplicable title of "Prophet of the Sky", he was still an outsider.  This is related to the issue of whether hundreds of thousands of people in the Santa League should stay or leave. The old man gave up the decision-making power with just one word What kind of medicine is this old man selling in his gourd?

    "It was the Prophet who defeated Bernardo, so naturally he has to follow the arrangements of the Prophet."

    The old man of the Fox Clan is an old man. Although he doesn't really understand the things Feng Kan used just now, he is very aware of their huge power. With such a powerful weapon, even if there are thousands of troops in front of him, he can't do it.  It was just a matter of smoke. Fortunately, this person was on his side. Since he wanted to let the other side go, he had no confidence to raise any objections.  Not only does this have no practical significance, but it will leave a knot in the heart of this prophet of the sky who has just met him. In this case, it is better to be a favor and let him continue to stand firmly on the position of the Santa Alliance in the future.  Benefits of Santa League.

    ¡°Compared to the bachelor-minded High Priest Visit, Count Kalidos is confused.

    By now, he is very clear about his situation and doesn¡¯t say much else.  Just when Bernardo's army was able to move, if the Santa Alliance launched an attack.  These hundreds of thousands of troops can only face the enemy's unbridled massacre. In the face of such power, all glory and pride are meaningless. No matter how many troops there are, they are just a piece of meat in someone else's bowl. Such powerlessness  Feelings and despair can turn any ambition into smoke.

    The Earl is mentally prepared to pay a heavy price if he encounters similar things in the past.  Everyone will become prisoners, and the nobles can rely on the ransom paid by their families to regain their freedom. At that time, soldiers with no status will not be treated so well. In the Jammings Empire, these soldiers will become slaves.  To be driven by people.  If you are lucky, you can regain your freedom through hard work in the arena, but if you are unlucky, you will be squeezed until you die like a wild dog on the roadside., or spend the rest of his life in a dark mine.

    Count Calidos didn¡¯t have too many thoughts about such a result, but losing so many young men at once would make the situation of the Principality of Bernardo very worrying.

    As long as there is a glimmer of hope, Count Kalidos will not bow to others easily. Bernardo's soldiers are not afraid of death. Instead of suffering such humiliation, it is better to fight hard. Even if they are unable to save themselves in the end, at least they will be saved.  It can be a blast.

    But even those who are not afraid of death are afraid of death to the point of meaninglessness.

    Count Calidos is ready to accept the greatest humiliation in his life. As long as it can leave more descendants for the Principality of Bernardo, he is willing to bear no matter how great the humiliation is.

    But things didn¡¯t seem to be as he imagined.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? but no matter how rich the imagination of the earl was, he never expected that the other party would react like this.

    As long as we withdraw our troops, can we return to the principality intact?  !

    There is such a good thing in this world?

    This means that the other party has completely given up the rights that the winner should have. Are there really such generous people in the world?

    "If your lordship has no objections, then please sign this agreement."

    Of course Feng Kan will not let things go so easily. The focus of his concern is actually still on the agreement handed out at this moment.

    Count Calidos sneered and took the paper handed out by the other party. He also thought that the other party would not be so kind. Even if the other party asked for more compensation and ransom, the old count was going to tighten his belt and accept it.

    But when he scanned the contents on that thin page, his eyes widened even more.

    ¡°First: The Principality of Bernardo solemnly apologizes to the Santa Alliance for this unprovoked invasion of the Endless Great Plains, and promises that such things will never happen again in the future.

    Second: From now on.  Any armed personnel of the Principality of Bernardo are not allowed to carry any weapons onto the land of Endless Prairie without the permission of the Santa League. If it is necessary for the armed personnel of the Principality to go to the Endless Prairie, they must obtain the approval of the Santa League and be in Santa Claus.  be reported to the official records of the Tower Alliance.

    Third: The Principality of Bernardo agrees to open trade routes with the Santa League and the Kingdom of Saint-Austin, and guarantees not to interfere with commercial activities between the countries in the agreement. The Principality of Bernardo must ensure the safety of business personnel from other countries in the agreement within its territory  matters.

    Fourth: The Principality of Bernardo agrees to exempt business personnel of the Santa League and the Kingdom of St. Austen from all taxes within its territory.

    Fifth: Business personnel of the Santa League and the Kingdom of St. Augustine have priority in purchasing and selling in Bernardo. If there is a dispute, the parties must be handed over to the country of their nationality.

    Sixth: The Principality of Bernardo agreed to establish diplomatic relations with the Santa League and the Kingdom of St. Austen. The three countries established each other's embassies as the residences of their respective diplomatic personnel.  Diplomats of each country enjoy diplomatic immunity, and each country shall not infringe upon the various powers enjoyed by the embassy of other countries (details of the specific powers enjoyed by the embassy will be clearly stated in the subsequent supplementary instructions). If there are disputes between the three countries, they must first go through diplomatic channels  Get communication and agreement.

    ¡­¡±

    "¡­¡­that is it?"

    Count Kalidos even didn¡¯t believe his eyes.

    There was no requirement for any land in this agreement, and there was not even a word about any ransom or compensation. In his opinion, the other party was tantamount to giving up all the rights that the victor should enjoy.

    As for the commercial aspects of the agreement - the old count did not realize its importance at all.

    "Is there anything wrong?"

    Feng Kan asked with a smile.

    He himself knew very well that this agreement was a completely unequal treaty.

    ¡°No one in Trantac understands the importance of economic strength to a country better than him.

    The Kingdom of St. Austen is about to enter the industrial age. The problem the Kingdom faces now is the contradiction between mass production and consumption inequality.  The most basic characteristic of industrial society is the desire for the market. An industrial society without a market is like a pool of stagnant water with no future. As long as there is a large number of markets, the national power of the Kingdom of St. Austen will develop at an unimaginable speed.

    In cooperation with the Principality of Volken, the positions of both parties are equal. The Principality of Volken itself is not developed in resources, but it can provide a large amount of human resources. Therefore, the relationship between the Principality of Volken and the Kingdom of St. Austen is more  It is similar to a partnership in which interests are equally shared.

    But for the Principality of Bernardo.  Feng KanNot so polite.

    Count Kalidos did not realize the most fundamental significance of this thin page, because in this era.  Commercial activities did not account for much of the national interest. He really could not imagine that when merchants from the Kingdom of St. Austen entered the Principality of Bernardo with overwhelming goods in both quality and quantity, what would happen to the Principality of Bernardo in the first place?  What a huge impact the very poor business base has caused - and these businessmen do not need to pay taxes.

    However, such an impact will not destroy the economic system of the Principality of Bernardo.

    Feng Kan believes that the most indispensable thing in this world is smart people.

    After the initial impact, Bernardo¡¯s businessmen will discover the business opportunities. They can buy a large amount of goods from the Kingdom of St. Austen and then dump them to other countries in the Jimins Empire at higher prices

    When things get to that point, the Principality of Bernardo and the Kingdom of St. Austen will have inseparable interests.  At that time, the Santa League and Saint-Austin would not have to worry about the threat from the Principality of Bernardo.

    Feng Kan does not want to destroy the Principality of Bernardo. His goal is to fully integrate the Principality of Bernardo into the interest system he has woven to enhance the power of the Kingdom of St. Austen.
