This day is a day that everyone is looking forward to, because the peace talks between the three empires have finally been held in the Shadow Empire as scheduled.
In the previous battle at the Warlock Fortress, the two empires of the Fallen Angel and the Blood Fiend were at loggerheads. It was not until the Shadow Empire participated that the Three Kingdoms negotiated a truce. However, during the truce negotiations, the three emperors encountered unexpected dark forces. "Blood Annihilation" attack resulted in the death of the blood fiend little prince Teris, and civil strife also broke out in the Three Kingdoms at the same time. The three emperors suspended the development and negotiation and tried their best to quell the civil strife. Now that the three countries have returned to stability, the peace talks have finally reopened.
Similar to the arrangement of the "round table meeting" in Black Cloud Town last time, the negotiations centered on the three emperors started 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 in Heiyun Town, the three parties have reached consensus on many conditions, but unexpectedly, on the most critical issue, a disagreement.
The crux of the matter is: armistice or peace treaty
In this kind of negotiation, the meanings of the two should never be equated. The armistice agreement means that after the recuperation time has passed, the war is likely to continue; 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 will be prevented, and the country that goes to war first will be jointly attacked by the remaining two countries.
The key to this disagreement lies in Lei Chan, who only agrees to sign an armistice agreement and is unwilling to sign a peace treaty.
Catherine sighed: "Your Majesty Lei Chan, at this point, is your goal still war?"
"It's not that I want war, but you want it." 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 Fiend Empire will become The weakest existence, as long as war is launched at that time, the Blood Fiend Empire will be the first empire to perish."
"It is my honor for the development of the Fallen Angel Empire to be affirmed by His Majesty Lei Chan," Xia Ya said, "However, Your Majesty is too worried, the future of the Demon Realm will be the common development and prosperity of the three empires In the Demon Realm, the people enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world far away from war."
"Throughout the history of the Demon Realm, there is no real peace at all. As long as there is an empire, there will be no avoidance of disputes and wars. As an emperor, ambition and national interests are the two most basic qualities. In fact, we all know that once ambition If you are beyond the shackles, or have enough interests to start a war, then the so-called peace covenant will become a dead letter, then the peace you are talking about now is only a preparation for future wars."
"Your Majesty Lei Chan," Xi Ya frowned, "I think you have misunderstood something."
"I didn't misunderstand, just what you said earlier can't convince me. Let's just explain it. Edmund and Aleus are dead, and Terris is also dead," said Lei Chan. His tone became low: "Although I still have a son, but...the Blood Fiend Empire has no successors. Your existence and speed of development make me feel a huge threat. After I retire or fall, the future Blood Fiend The empire is likely to lose the ability to compete with your two countries, I would rather choose to fight now."
Hearing what Lei Chan said, Catherine and Xia looked at each other and fell silent for a while.
Beside Xi Ya, Chen Rui's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. I have a few words, but I don't know if I can say them?"
Xi Ya and Catherine naturally had no objection, Lei Chan glanced at Chen Rui and nodded.
Several clerks in charge of the records showed surprise. "Agulie" was just the fiancé of the Fallen Angel Empress. He had no right to speak in this kind of negotiation, but he was unbelievably recognized by the three emperors.
The clerks naturally didn't know that during the Battle of Heiyun Town, if it weren't for this "Quasi-king Husband", the three emperors would have fallen, and the entire devil world might have changed.
"Why didn't the three majesties consider merging the three empires into a true national alliance?" Chen Rui finally proposed a concept that he had been brewing for a long time.
The three emperors showed surprise at the same time, and the three empires merged
Xi Ya's first reaction was an accident, because Chen Rui rushed to the Shadow Empire only this morning, perhaps due to time, and did not communicate this idea with her.
Catherine was also surprised, but the eyes behind the veil were more indifferent.
Lei Chan said more directly and contemptuously: "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 complicated thing is pure and simple. As for ignorance... so I am fearless, so I can break the stereotypes," Chen Rui's face remained unchanged, "As His Majesty Lei Chan said, as long as more than one empire exists, it cannot be avoided. War, if we change this number into one? This will be an unprecedented system, and may become an epoch-making change. Each country participating in the alliance still has independent legislation, administration, military, finance, etc. The power is still an independent country with sovereignty. All countries will achieve comprehensive cooperation and sharing in technology, economy, resources and other aspects, share weal and woe, and share interests. Resolutions related to the alliance can be approved and effective through the summit meeting. Although this is only A preliminary idea will encounter various difficulties and differences in the implementation, but as long as we unify our understanding and unremittingly improve and advance in this general direction, I believe that the alliance will realize the realization of power, economy and freedom step by step. Unified, 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 explained several key issues in detail later, the system of this "Imperial Alliance" was completely unheard of. Even Catherine couldn't help showing doubts. He frowned and said 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 Devouring 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 clansman abandon hatred and war, regain glory in peace, and live and reproduce in an open and honest manner, then I would Seriously consider the proposal here and not take it as a joke."
Lei Chan was silent for a moment, and asked, "Are you sure you can undo the curse of light and darkness on me?"
"If the light element and the dark element can be lifted separately, I'm 100% sure." Chen Rui didn't boast that the curse of the light element can be used with Xue Dalai, while the curse of the dark element...with the king of dark elements, it's just a matter of effort. According to Tetris' original words, this curse of the dark system was originally cast on Lei Chan by the king of dark elements when he was in the dark oven.
"Yes." Lei Chan suddenly asked another irrelevant question: "How long will it take to untie your laws and artifacts?"
That kind of look made Chen Rui frowned, and he vaguely guessed something in his heart: "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 this person in his eyes, "Since you defeated the person I was chasing, my opponent has been replaced by you. Now, I need an answer."
Chen Rui glanced at Catherine: "Two years."
Due to some special reasons, the two-year period of the True Flame Shackle has been shortened a lot. In addition, during the slumber of defeating Tetris this time, it seems that he has 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 the true flame shackles, but he didn't tell the truth, because he already had a decision in his heart, an important decision.
"Then..." Lei Chan nodded, "This truce is for two years. The Blood Fiend Empire holds a martial arts qualifying match every ten years. After two years, I will hold another martial arts competition, but this time it is for the It’s the whole Demon World. If you can defeat me or win the first place in the martial arts competition, I will seriously consider what you said about alliance and peace, and I will do what I say.”
Chen Rui didn't answer, but just looked at Catherine and Xia.
"Lei Chan, maybe as that person said, you are more suitable to be a warrior than an emperor," Catherine sighed, "Isn't it too hasty to decide the fate of an empire like this?"
"You can understand that I need to recuperate for two years while watching the situation in the devil world; it can also be understood that I am acting on my own will and using Lei Chan's method to solve the problem... Catherine, if you want to convince me, you can also use the same method." Way. This is actually a way of the devil world, the strong are respected, as long as your fist is big, you are right. Agulie, what do you think?"
Chen Rui has already made up his mind, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes, showing strong confidence: "Your Majesty Lei Chan, this is the first time I have a sense of identification with you. I only hope that Your Majesty will not regret today's decision."
"Very good!" Lei Chan suddenly showed a rare smile: "However, even if it is a truce, the corresponding clauses are absolutely indispensable. In the past two years, especially the new things and new technologies that have emerged in the Fallen Angel Empire , must be shared with the Blood Fiend Empire."
Xi Ya looked into Chen Rui's eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "If Her Majesty Catherine has no objections, then we can discuss the terms of the truce now."
Catherine glanced over Xi Ya and Lei Chan, and landed on Chen Rui, her calm eyes flickered slightly, and she finally nodded.
After reaching this consensus, the next negotiation on the terms went very smoothly.
Within two years, the Three Kingdoms ceased all wars.
The Fallen Angel Empire shared technologies such as magic TV, battle balls, and rice wine with the other two empires.
Within two years, all new technologies that appear in the Fallen Angel Empire will be shared with the other two empires.
At the beginning of next year, the upcoming Pharmacist Competition in the Fallen Angel Empire will be changed to the Alchemist Competition, which will be jointly organized by the three countries, including the Artifact Maker Competition and the Pharmacist 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 a wonderful battle ball league. Each empire will send out three teams to compete in home and away games. At the end of the season, the winner will be the one with the highest points.
