  Simon Griffith felt that the Idars had no respect for their sixty-nine-year-old comrade.

  Because of his arrival, Idar’s army did not stop its march.

  According to Sam Layton, conducting war and negotiation at the same time can effectively improve the efficiency of negotiation...

  This is simply not talking about martial ethics!

  The general war is exquisite, but the Idars in front of you are obviously fighting!

  Not only did they come prepared, but they also interrupted Simon Griffith's words many times, and listed some unacceptable proposals.

   When did the Odin Empire suffer so much? !

  Simon Griffith felt that if he agreed to the conditions given by the Idars in this way, he would definitely be smashed by Alio O’Sullivan after he returned.

   But if you don’t agree... Idar’s army is about to pass through the Valence Plain and march towards the Sogn Plain!

  Can't let the Idar army cross the Valence Plain!

  This is the death order given to Simon Griffith by the Lord of Odin, Alio O’Sullivan.

so……

  The 69-year-old comrade finally came to Sam Layton again.

   "Please sit down."

  Sam Layton said calmly.

   See it,

  The soldier on the side brought a chair, and the accompanying Odin's attendants hurriedly helped the old man to sit down.

   "Oh, slow down, slow down, this old bone is about to fall apart..." Simon Griffith groaned breathlessly.

   "The messenger did not take a good rest in the arranged camp, why did he come to me with the intention?"

"General Sam Layton..." Father Simon coughed a few times: "From the bottom of my eyes, fighting is really a matter of labor and wealth. I always think that everyone should regard peace as the most important thing. The Odin Empire and Idal must lead. You can live in harmony."

  Sam Layton took a serious look at him with a caring look, and said, “Isn’t this war initiated by the Odin Empire?”

  "No, no, no! It's not like that. The cause of this war is obviously Odin's general Raymond O'Sullivan who sent troops to provocation privately, not the meaning of Odin's royal family." Simon said hastily.

  Anyway, Raymond O’Sullivan has died, and it’s not a big deal to carry a scapegoat. It can also be regarded as making some other contributions to the Odin Empire after his death.

   "Oh? Is that so?!" Sam Layton suddenly realized.

   "So... General Sam Layton, His Majesty Alio O'Sullivan, Lord of Odin, feel... Ending this war as soon as possible will be of great benefit to both of us."

"You are right, but I think...it's only been a while. The soldiers under this general haven't earned enough merits, so...I hope you can understand the painstaking efforts of the general. , We will come to you for peace talks after we have collected enough war scores after we have collected enough war scores."

  Hearing this, Simon almost spit out old blood with anger.

  He has been in the Idar barracks for two days, but Sam Layton, as the commander of the Idar army, has no intention of making peace.

   is simply unreasonable!

but……

Thinking that Idar’s army will soon pass through the Valens Plains, Father Simon can only suppress his dissatisfaction, and said: "General Sam Layton, you can open the negotiation terms of Idar, otherwise I can’t do it. Explain to His Majesty Alio."

After dragging on Simon for several days, Sam Layton felt that the heat was almost over, and he said with a big mouth: "First of all...the territory occupied by the Norman Empire by the Odin Empire should all be transferred to the Idar. ."

   "This is absolutely impossible!"

  Although at this moment, the Odin Empire is the one who most hopes to make peace, but...the conditions offered by the Idars made him totally unacceptable.

   To open up the territory and divide the vassals, this is one of the purposes of the Odin monarch Alio O'Sullivan to launch this war.

  Odin people can give up part of the land, but if all the looted land is divided, Alio O'Sullivan will not be able to explain to the tribes in the Odin Empire!

  The expected chattering did not appear, because the messenger of the Odin Empire was an old man who had to pant for a few words, and Idar’s side was Sam Layton who only knew the leader of the battle.

  But...the negotiations are not without progress. After these days of exchanges, Sam Layton has at least roughly figured out the core interests of the Odin Empire that will never give way.

  Sam Layton did not order to continue the marching army after all, because once Idar’s army was too urgent, Sam Layton could not be sure whether Odin’s army would fight to the death under the leadership of Alio O’Sullivan.

  In this era dominated by cold weapons. The morale bonus that the prince of a country can bring to soldiers is highly uncontrollable. It may increase by 5%, or it may increase by 50%!

  Idar's army does have excellent equipment, but again, Idar's army has fewer than 3,000 men!

  Moreover, there are some soldiers who stayed on the banks of the Eide to take care of the prisoners!

  So...Since the Odin Empire has taken the lead in showing sincerity in peace talks, and the Idars have already mastered the initiative in the negotiations, then Sam Layton does not need to be stubborn anymore.

  War is only a means.

  Since it is now possible to reach a reconciliation through peaceful means, the Idars naturally do not need to choose war.

after all……

  Even if it has the advantage of weapons and equipment, the war will be deadly after all!

Bruno actually has little hope for Sam Layton’s negotiation skills. The reason why Sam Layton has been allowed to speak with Simon Griffith is more to clarify a position... Idar has taken over. Don't worry that this war may go on.

Although Idar’s army defeated Odin’s army on the battlefield, many Odin’s generals always had an idea in their hearts—Idar’s collar was only an earl collar after all. Even if Idar’s collar possessed powerful equipment, it would be better to proceed. In a long war, the Odin Empire can also rely on its own heritage to win.

  However, Sam Layton’s advance led to a crushing of the Odin’s illusion, and the Odin monarch Alio O’Sullivan completely gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight against the Idars.

  Old Ford arrived late the next afternoon.

   There is a specialization in the art industry. Sam Layton is indeed good at leading the war, but when it comes to presiding over negotiations, it is almost meaningless.

  After all, the old Ford was knowledgeable, and also participated in and led the signing of the "Sorenburg Treaty", which can be regarded as a certain amount of negotiation experience.

  Old Ford and Simon Griffith are both over half a hundred years old. When the two old men sing a diagonal drama, they will not be accused by the Odins of not talking about martial arts.

no way!

  Idar people always regard harmony as the most important thing, and persuade others with reason.

  ……

  Land issues, prisoners of war issues and compensation issues.

  Rounding around the above three main topics, the two sides had a verbal battle lasting four days.

  Odin’s messenger Simon Griffith was almost fainted several times in a row, so that after the first day of negotiations, Idar’s medic would always be on standby outside the Odin’s camp.

  For four whole days, from 7 or 8 in the morning to 7 or 8 in the evening, roars of "friendly exchanges" were heard from both sides in the camp from time to time.

   But even so, this peace agreement was not finalized until the Idar threatened to continue marching on the Sogn Plain.

  The war between Idar and the Odin Empire,

   finally at this moment,

ended……

On March 11, 538, the first Odin war ended with the complete defeat of the Odin Empire. The messenger of Odin, Simon Griffith, signed the "Valen But at the same time, this peace treaty was also regarded by some progressives in the Odin Empire as an important turning point for the Odin Empire from barbaric backwardness to civilized society.

  ……

As the special negotiation envoy dispatched by Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idar, Bruno set out a series of "minimum requirements" for Old Ford. As long as the final negotiation result is better than the "requirements", Old Ford can be the master. Signed an agreement with the Odin.

  It’s just...

  When the final version of the armistice agreement was placed on Bruno's desk, he couldn't help but froze there.

  Not because the conditions are too harsh, but because...This agreement is extremely beneficial to Idalling, even far beyond Bruno's previous expectations!

Of course, the Odins did not want to make the Idar collar cheap, but... when the fleeing Odin soldiers brought back news about the Idar army, even if Alio O'Sullivan ordered the news to be blocked at the first time, it was of no avail. .

  Nearly a thousand fleeing soldiers means that nearly a thousand mouths were opened, the marshal was killed in battle, and the sacrifice was blown to death. How can such a hot news be so easy to block?

so……

Under the combined action of the Idar people and many factors, the invincible Odin empire in the past has finally been subdued. With the acquiescence of the Odin monarch, Alio O'Sullivan, Simon finally signed. This "Peace of Valence" is extremely beneficial to Idar.

  First of all, it is the issue of land division.

  According to the armistice agreement signed by the second prince Ryze and the lord of Odin, Alio O’Sullivan, the Dornland, the Plain of Valence, and the area east of the Armis Mountains all belong to the eastern part of the empire.

  So, they are all designated as the de jure territory of the Odin Empire in the armistice agreement.

  In the latest "Valence Peace Treaty", the Odin Empire has made a large concession to Idalling.

  Out of geopolitical considerations and fear of the mysterious weapons possessed by the Idars, the Odins had to reluctantly cut their love and split the Valence Plain in two along the central axis.

In addition to ceding all the areas east of the Eid River to the Idar Territory, the two sides also agreed to use the Valence Plain as a military buffer zone, the eastern region will be controlled by the Idar Territory, and the western part of the Valence Plain... Control of the Norman Empire (second prince Ryze)!

  That's right!

  Although the two parties who signed this agreement are the Idarlings and the Odin Empire, the Odin monarch Alio O'Sullivan really does not want to see the death perversion of the Idars that can reach 3,000 to 10,000.

So... After forcibly asking for a ransom of tens of thousands of gold coins and a large amount of food and crops from the second prince Rez, Alio O’Sullivan handed over the western part of the Valence Plain to the Norman Empire again. As a result, there is no longer a direct land border between the Idar Territory and the Odin Empire.

  Looking at this part of the "Valens Peace Treaty", Bruno felt confused. Isn't this equivalent to the "Three Kingdoms Intervention and Liao Liao" in a different world?

Not to mention other clauses, only in terms of land, the "Valence Peace Treaty" made the Idalling directly occupy nearly two-thirds of the eastern territory of the empire, becoming the biggest winner of this war, but the original aggressiveness The Odin Empire retained only a part of the area north of the Dorne River.

  You know, it occupies two-thirds of the eastern part of the empire!

  After this battle,

  Idal collar has directly become the powerful vassal with the most extensive territory among the many nobles of the Norman Empire!

  The land area of ​​Idar Territory has expanded more than ten times!

certainly,

  The benefits of the "Valens Peace Treaty" to Idalling are by no means confined to the land.

  In order to promote peace between Idarling and the Odin Empire, the two sides also exchanged interests in other aspects and made many mutual promises.

for example……

  Idalling needs to release more than three thousand Odin’s pawns captured,

  The Idar leader should not actively launch any offensive against the Odin Empire within five years, nor can it interfere in the Odin Empire’s aggressive war on the rest of the Norman Empire.

  The Odin Empire can buy food in Idalling at a favorable price within five years.

  Idar will export some melee weapons to the Odin Empire, and give priority to the weapons purchase request made by the Odin Empire.

but in the meanwhile……

  The Odin Empire should reveal the secrets about the Forest of Warcraft and the Church of Light to Idar, and allow the Idars to walk freely in the Forest of Warcraft.

  The Odin Empire leased the Port of Dorn on the east coast of the Forest of Warcraft to Idar indefinitely, and allowed Idar to set up a temporary concession with a total area of ​​no more than 30 square kilometers in the eastern plateau area of ​​the Odin Empire.

  The Odin Empire should allow the Idars to conduct mineral exploration on the eastern plateau of the Odin Empire~lightnovelpub.net~ and for all minerals discovered by the Idars, the Idars have a ten-year priority to mine...

  ……

actually,

  In addition to the long entanglement about sharing the secrets of the Forest of Warcraft and the Church of Light, Simon Griffith didn't care much about the establishment of concessions and mineral exploration that Bruno valued the most, and he casually agreed.

  And this is also an important reason why the "Valence Peace Treaty" has been criticized by the Odin nationals since then.

   But to be honest...

The limitations of the    era are there after all. In Simon’s view, a small port of Dorne, plus a concession located in the northeast of the Odin Empire, what moths can be found in a place with a big fart?

  As long as the Idars agree to supply food and weapons to the Odin Empire, and do not affect the Odin Empire to harass other noble leaders in the Norman Empire, everything is negotiable!

  　 It’s not today.
