Demon Royal Family

The location of the negotiations between the three countries was very sensitive. Originally, Severn III wanted to hold the negotiations outside the western border, but Barria and Renault strongly opposed it on the grounds that it was too close to the Harrican defense line and they did not feel safe.

The final negotiation location was set outside the Dragon Throat Fortress in the south, where a truce and compensation were agreed upon.

Of course it was not Lasces who paid compensation, but the other two countries.

They had no choice but to realize that if they continued to fight, they would most likely turn from invaders to victims. The 100,000 troops on the Harrican Defense Line could attack the mainland of their kingdom at any time just like they did with Lasces. Shocked by Ivo's forces, they decided to negotiate peace with Lasces before this bad scene happened.

After nearly three years of war, the entire territory of Laces suffered devastating damage. The people were in urgent need of recuperation and could not afford another war, so Severn III accepted the peace negotiation request of Barea and Renault.

Of course, there were many opponents in the legion. Their hatred of the enemy and their dignity as soldiers made them look down on the peace talks. However, after hearing that Ivo also agreed to the peace talks, their attitude changed and they all supported it.

As a war hero, Ivo is also one of the strongest commanders in Lasces. He has a supreme status in the legion system that he himself does not understand. Soldiers are willing to believe in Ivo more than they believe in the king.

Ivo took Nebuldan and set off to join Severn III.

The day of negotiation is on the first day of the Evening Star Moon, and there are still more than ten days left. Excluding the time of riding a frost dragon, there is still plenty of time. Because Ivo can ride a dragon, he is the last to set off.

In the Dragon Throat Fortress, in addition to Ivo, Laces's envoys have gathered.

Severn III, Marquis Donald, Marquis of Beverly, Commander Andrew, plus the Foreign Secretary who is responsible for negotiating terms and Ivo, who is used to suppress the situation, this is the Lassese mission, not counting the retinues and guards. .

The negotiations between the three countries have attracted much attention. The eyes of the entire Hokuriku and even other continents are focused on this negotiation. The future direction of Hokuriku and the re-division of forces will be largely determined by the results of the negotiations. This is a reshuffling of forces. Card, many small forces will suffer, such as the northern orc clan, mountain people, goblins, dwarves, etc.

"Your Majesty the King, this is the compensation clause we require. What do you think?"

The Foreign Secretary handed a list to Severn III, which listed a dense list of projects. Severn III nodded and said, "Increase the number by 20%."

The Foreign Secretary hesitated: "If we increase it by another 20%, the terms will be too harsh, and the other party may not agree to it."

Severn III thought of Ivo and said firmly, "The right to speak is on our side."

…

There are two camps in Dragonmaw Fortress, where the Barria and Raynor missions are stationed respectively.

Duke Kane stood at the entrance of the camp, looking into the distance.

Soon, a cavalry team appeared in his sight, marched slowly, and stopped in front of the camp gate. Kane went up to meet him and said to the person in the front wearing a gold-red hooded robe: "Princess Aiweier, welcome. s arrival."

The leader lifted his hood, and his long bright red hair fell down, revealing a beautiful and mature face. It was Aiweier.

"I will fully represent Baria in this negotiation." Aiweier said calmly, "This is what the father wants."

"I have received the news." Kane nodded, glanced at the man behind Awell, frowned, and said calmly: "Mr. Petty, what are you doing here?"

Peidi, the president of the Pearl Chamber of Commerce, smiled proudly and said slowly: "As the princess's fiancé, I think I am qualified to watch the negotiations."

Kane frowned and wanted to say something, but Avril raised his hand to stop him and said calmly: "It's okay."

Seeing this, Kane could only swallow his words. Since Aiweier was redeemed and Baria withdrew from the war a year and a half ago, Petty, as the princess's fiancé, has been aggressively expanding the Pearl Chamber of Commerce's industry in Baria. After gaining a lot of convenience, they announced to the outside world that they would get married when the war was over. Aiweier did not refute, so the people of Bariya could only acquiesce in Pedi's consort.

But in fact, not many people like Pedi. In the aristocratic circle, especially the nobles who serve in the army, they are very disgusted with Pedi, a snobbish businessman. The content of the political marriage transaction between Aiweier and Pedi has been vaguely revealed. Many people The great nobles all watched Princess Aiweier grow up, and in their hearts they all loved Aiweier just like their own daughters.

After learning of her sacrifice, all the nobles felt sorry for the princess and did not want to see Peidi.

Aiweier was the "Red Panther" of Baria, with a prominent reputation. No matter how the people of Baria looked at it, they felt that Pedi was not worthy of Aiwei.

Of course, Peidi didn't care at all. For him, as long as he could develop his own chamber of commerce through political marriage, it was enough. No matter what the outside world said, Benas would not lose a cent of his money.

Peidi did not regard himself as an outsider and entered the camp on his own. Kane snorted coldly, ignored him, and whispered: "Your Highness, actually you don't have to do this..."

Aiweier glanced at him, with a strange light in her eyes, which quickly disappeared. She spoke calmly, without answering the question, and asked: "Who are the other party's envoys?"

Seeing that Awell didn't want to talk more, Kane sighed and said, "King Lassace, Donald, Beverly, etc."

Awell was silent for a while and asked softly: "He... won't come?"

Kane knew who she was referring to. Thinking of those bad memories, Kane looked ugly and shook his head: "I don't know, I hope he doesn't come..."

…

While the negotiations were being prepared, the Holy See's fleet was sailing on the sea, heading towards Frigga.

In order to remain neutral in the war, the Holy See withdrew from Frigga, and now that the war is coming to an end, they have sent back Holy See personnel, headed by the seventh Cardinal Archbishop, Prometheus Capric.

Originally, the seven red archbishops would not leave the Holy Land of Eden easily, but returning to Frigga is an action that everyone in the church attaches great importance to, so they made an exception and sent a red archbishop with the highest status to express their importance to Frigga. Hoping to salvage the bad image of their withdrawal from the war.

The doctrine that the Holy See has always spread is that the gods protect believers, but when the war began, they gave up their believers first to save themselves, and lost a lot of the loyalty and belief of the Frigga people.

He ran away during the war, but now that peace is about to come, he rushes back.

This behavior seems cowardly no matter how you look at it.

Of course, the Holy See represents the gods. No matter how much the people look down on the Holy See, they will not exclude the Holy See from returning.

Prometheus is an old man in his seventies, the last of the seven cardinals, and the newcomer among the cardinals.

Through the magic of longevity, the Cardinal can basically live for more than 150 years. Prometheus has gray hair, but he looks good and has high energy. Compared with old monsters like the First and Second Cardinals , he can be regarded as the young man among the red archbishops, and he is more energetic. He also needs to consolidate his position in the church.

A large part of the reason for his rise to power was the missing Cardinal Augusta. There was a vacancy in the Cardinal Archbishop. After many layers of review and screening, he had the opportunity to be elected Cardinal, so he cherished his coming. He has a hard-earned position and attaches great importance to the task assigned to him by the Holy See.

Propagating faith is the mission of the Holy See. Prometheus is very clear about how the people of Frigga feel about them. Re-establishing their majesty and status is what he considers the most important task when returning to Frigga.

In addition to spreading the teachings of the gods, the way the Holy Court established its authority also punished heretics who caused trouble to bring a sense of security to the people.

The heretics in Frigga have been on the rise for a year or two, and Prometheus is ready to attack them, so he specially brings a large number of night watchmen.

As Frigga's most famous "heretic", Ivo was also targeted by Prometheus.

And it’s the primary goal!

He wanted to use Ivo's influence in Frigga to spread the story of his arrest by the Holy See throughout the North Continent, telling the whole Frigga that the Holy See had returned with force.

Capturing Ivo can quickly establish the authority of the church.

This is Prometheus' plan.

The person who carried out the task of capturing Ivo was Orona who couldn't wait to take the initiative.
