"Conley, I don't want to be dragged into the water by you."
Governor Conley sneered, and said: "Since you don't want to bear the wrath of the church, it's best not to sit on the sidelines, wait to see my jokes, and sneer at me. That won't do you any good. Maybe, Before the church's anger comes, you will be burned to ashes in my anger."
"You wouldn't do that," Arkady said.
After listening to Arkady's words, Conley became calm instead. He seemed to think for a while, then opened his mouth and said, "Yes, I won't do that. Then you should know what you should do now."
"I know, I know, to help our great Governor Conley." Arkady said these words, still so insincere, it seemed quite unbearable.
After habitually ironing Conley in this way, Arkady finally came up with an idea of his own.
After listening to Arkady's statement, Conley tapped his fingers and said, "You said I was eager to advance? Your idea is more radical than all the strategies I have adopted."
…
Except for the two people present, no one knows exactly what Arkady and Conley discussed in Cinderella's palace-at least no one knows now.
At this time, Dane was leading the army and rushing towards the confused city. In just one week, his main army had already arrived under the walls of the Lost City.
After a whole week of rapid marching, no matter how elite Dane's army was, it was not made of iron. Flesh and blood, after such a high-intensity journey, definitely needs to rest.
Dane also has no intention of urging the troops to forcefully launch an attack at this time, there is absolutely no need for that. In addition to the fact that the soldiers need a certain amount of time to rest and the siege equipment needs time to assemble, he also wants to wait and see to see how the parties will react when he is approaching the walls of the Lost City.
Ou Ze was the first to respond. His life during this period was really hard. He led his main army, and after losing a step, he was suppressed everywhere. Although there will be no danger of defeat for a while, in the past half a month, from the outskirts of Ice Cave City, under the continuous oppression of the Northern Army led by Galvin and Anders, Next, a little bit is being pressed back.
Judging from this situation, it is estimated that in less than half a month, he will be pushed back to the Beast Blood Castle.
So, when he heard that Dane had killed Cinderella, he was very happy; when Dane stopped at the city of Cinderella for four days without moving, and failed to cause enough pressure on Conley, he was angry He was also anxious; but when he knew that Dane turned his head and continued northward, he actually killed the city directly under the city of confusion, and it seemed that he had the hope of quickly capturing the city of confusion, he was extremely excited.
Although, for the time being, he was still under the oppression of the Northern Army Group, but just the news that Dane's soldiers were approaching the city had immediately improved his situation. The most direct manifestation is that after Galvin and Anders were in danger of being cut off, the oppression of Ou Ze no longer dared to continue to be so blatant and unscrupulous.
They have obviously become a little suspicious, large-scale military operations have become rare, and even the morale of the army shows signs of being shaken.
This sign even gave Ou Ze the idea of wanting to take this opportunity, kill the carbine, and directly launch a surprise attack. However, he was still not that bold. If the surprise attack failed and he was taught a hard lesson instead, the loss would not be worth the gain.
This is the most direct impact of Dane's military actions on the main northern battlefield.
And another influence came soon.
On the second day after Dane arrived at the city of confusion, a group of envoys from Cinderella ushered in his barracks.
At the beginning, Dane's idea was to beat out the emissaries of Kangli with sticks, or even kill them directly. In his opinion, the words that Conley sent the envoys to use are nothing more than words such as, "You and I are together, and I will treat you how I will treat you after defeating Ou Ze." Dane wasn't interested in this at all, and didn't believe it at all.
However, after thinking about it, he chose to meet these envoys.
Because, some other thoughts arose in his mind. After sending a heavyweight like Janice to persuade him, but they all ended in failure, Conley should not be so naive to think that in the current situation where he has pinched his lifeline, I will also agree to his unrealistic proposals.
This time, Kang Li's proposal should become very sincere, right
Thinking of this, Dane became interested—he wanted to see what Conley might have a sincere proposal this time.
…
Half an hour later, Dane ended his meeting with Conley's emissary.
After sending the envoy away, Dane let out a long sigh of relief, and Gnar next to him said with a strange expression: "I... I can't believe it, this is the proposal made by Governor Conley?"
"Amazing, isn't it?" Dane said with a smile, and he himself felt a little unbelievable.
The reason why the two of them have such special emotions is indeed because the conditions given by Kang Li are so satisfying!
The Kangli envoy, after seeing Dane, didn't say anything nonsense at all, and directly threw out a set of agreement terms in duplicate, on which Kangli had even signed, as long as Dane was in another If a place signs its own name, the agreement will take effect immediately.
I won't mention some nonsense clauses, but the most important ones really moved Dane's heart.
First of all, as far as Dane is concerned, Governor Conley recognized Dane's identity as "Governor of Dire Wolf" and was officially called the Governor of the South by Schindler. All the territories south of Mihe City will be under the jurisdiction of Governor Dire Wolf.
With this sentence, all the territories of Iron Spike Hill and Arnold were assigned to Dane. This piece of land is not very prosperous, but in terms of territory, it is not at all smaller than White Wolf Fort to Shawan Port, and even a circle larger. Most importantly, Governor Conley also promised that although Mihe City does not belong to Dane, the 'Governor of Dire Wolf', he will not garrison a single soldier in Mihe City. The security of this city will be jointly managed by both parties.
This is a huge temptation for Dane.
When Conley is no longer just a false promise to Barnes and Noble, it is indeed very generous to give this fact.
Analyzing one by one, acknowledging Dane as the "Governor of Dire Wolf" means that Dane has the same status as Ou Ze and Conley in terms of law.
Of course, if it's just such a false name, he doesn't care. But it is impossible for him not to care about the land.
Iron Spike Hill and Arnold Territory are owned by Dane, and this is only secondary. The most important thing is that Kangli promised not to garrison troops in Mihe City.
This means that the south of Cinderella is completely open to Dane. If Conley has any bad thoughts about Dane, there are three checkpoints in front of him: Mihe City, Arnold Territory and Iron Spike Hill. Only by breaking through these three barriers can he threaten Dane's core territory. And if Dane had some bad thoughts, then heading north from Mihe City, he could directly threaten Cinderella.
Conley gave Dane his confidant position completely undefended!
However, if it's just these conditions, it's not enough to impress Dane. Not to mention letting him fall to Kangli, it is impossible to let him not intervene in this war. After Conley wiped out Ouze, no matter what he promised Dane, he could get it back again.
But on this matter, Conley has made the biggest concession.
He promised to disband the formation of the Northern Army Group, and will break up the troops into their own formations and withdraw to Lost City and Cinderella. As for the Ice Cave City, it will also be set up as a city jointly managed by the three governors, Dane, Kangli and Oze, according to the treatment method of Mihe City. Within a hundred kilometers around the Ice Cave City, no warlord actions are allowed, and the three parties will not garrison the Ice Cave City.
What does this mean? This means that Governor Conley will completely abandon all the results of the large-scale military operations in the past two months! And under this agreement, when Ou Ze still maintains a strong combat power, Kangli can't even think about going back on his word. Even if he repented, it would be useless, at best it would be the beginning of the next war.
If this agreement really comes true, it means that Conley has given up most of his control over Schindler, and his power has completely shrunk to the surrounding areas of Cinderella and Lost City, which can be described as a big loss. deficit.
Governor Ou Ze made a small fortune. Although the territory did not expand, it did not shrink either. The most important thing was that he also obtained the co-management rights of Ice Cave City.
As for Dane, he has made a lot of money. He will completely control the south of Schindler, and his territory will become larger than that of Oze, becoming one of the three major governors worthy of the name. And, if If Dane is given enough time to develop, with his territory more than doubled, even if he does not rely on the system, he will be able to leap into a real power that is not weaker than Conley and Oze.
Can get such a condition, but also fight a hairy battle? How do you say a word? What cannot be obtained at the negotiating table can be obtained in war. Then this sentence is also true in reverse, things that cannot be obtained in war can be obtained from the negotiating table. For example, Dane is holding the agreement that Conley has already signed.
To be honest, this is already the best condition that can be won. Apart from Cinderella and Lost City, Conley has already stated that he doesn't want anything, even the hegemony is surrendered, so what else can he do? If you want to be more generous, you can only get it unless Kang Li is completely killed and eliminated.
But Governor Kangli is not really at the end of his rope. The more than 40,000 soldiers of the Northern Army and the tall and strong super fortress of Cinderella are all capital in his hands. Even if Dane and Ou Ze work together, can they really beat Kang Li to death? Even if he was killed, how much would he have to pay
Especially for Dane, even if Conley is wiped out and the entire big cake of Schindler is snatched, how much will he get in the next process of sharing the cake with Oze? Can it bring Dane a lot more than this agreement
Putting aside sentimentality and just looking at it with the most rational thoughts, Dane has no reason to be dissatisfied with this.
To be honest, Dane was moved.
He looked over and over at the agreement he was holding in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt the urge to sign it. If all the contents of this agreement are realized, there is really no need to continue fighting.
At that time, he will develop well in the south of Schindler. It won't take long. Give him another year, and he will have enough confidence to develop the power to directly push down the entire Schindler. At that time, even if Ou Ze and Kang Li joined hands, they would never be able to stop him.
But the reason why he hasn't directly signed it is that there is actually only one last concern: how sincere is Conley for this agreement? Did he sincerely want to use this agreement as a basis for a peace—at least a temporary peace agreement, or was this just a stopgap measure for him
For this question, Dane himself thought that he would definitely not be able to think of any answer. However, what Patience said made him realize.
"Actually, we don't need to care whether Kangli is sincere or not. We just need to sign the agreement, and then continue to park the army under the city of confusion, to see if Kangli will really withdraw his Northern Army Group, It would be fine even to disband completely. If he withdraws, we will withdraw; if he fools us and the Northern Army continues to move around Ice Cave City, then we should not hesitate to take down Chaos City directly with the force of thunder. "
Dane thought her idea was pretty good.
After getting in touch with Ou Ze, Dane decided to accept the agreement.
Ou Ze didn't want to accept it. Although he could earn a little money from this agreement, it wasn't much. But he has no other options. He is now the party that has been beaten the most and is in the most difficult situation. The most important thing is that the initiative is not in his hands at all.
What's more, although he can't earn too much, he earns after all. And his biggest enemy, Kangli's power, will be greatly weakened under this agreement, which makes Ou Ze very satisfied.
After discussing with Dane for a while, Ou Ze decided to accept the agreement as well.
Therefore, this agreement signed on December 7, 217 in the new Caesar calendar, known as the "Confusion City Schindler Agreement", may be the entire Orodic world, one of the agreements concerning a country. Among them, the agreement has the fastest process from drafting to signing.
