Chapter 669 Peace Talks
Phew, the breeze brought a hint of warmth. Unknowingly, the short winter in the New World has ended, and the warm spring has once again ushered in. During this period, some subtle changes have also quietly occurred in the green field. produce.
First, a sect called the Holy Oak Church suddenly appeared in the Green Field Territory and developed rapidly. Based on the Green Field Territory, it spread to the entire New World. This church even appeared on the Golden Channel. The speed was astonishing. Secondly, Midorino led the Navy's candidate Silver Fox Sesshomaru to take office. In a short period of time, he destroyed twelve medium-sized or above pirate groups and killed several legendary monsters. His sharp edge was revealed. It was shocking. In an instant, Silver Fox's reputation spread all over the sea, and even surpassed that of Navy Marshal Aokiji to a certain extent. Finally, the first organic knight order in the Green Field was officially established, with the designation Dragon of Destruction.
"Sean, the war is almost over."
The video phone bug exuded a hazy light. He was sitting in the study with his hands folded in front of him and leaning on the back of the chair. When he heard Heathon's words, Sean frowned. This was the time between him and Heathon. Dun's second contact, the first time was due to changes in the family's bloodline.
"Although the war on the border has not yet been extinguished, the top leaders of the invasion alliance led by the Mensa Empire and the anti-invasion alliance led by the Free Federation, Bald Eagle Kingdom, Sutilt Kingdom and other countries have secretly held negotiations."
Within the light curtain, Sean's father, Histon Montel, had a solemn face. The sudden change in the situation made him, the head of the Montel family, feel a lot of pressure.
The war has been burning in the Old Continent for many years, sweeping across the entire continent. Countless humans have died because of it. Some people have lost their husbands, some have lost their brothers, some have lost their sons, and some have lost their fathers. In this way, Under the circumstances, if the war can be stopped, it will be a good thing for most people, but the Montel family is not included.
Sean is now able to master the Golden Channel so easily and continuously obtain resources from the Old Continent to supplement the deficiencies of the Green Field Territory. A big reason is that the continental war has restrained the energy of various countries. Once the war is over, the golden channel flowing with it will The waterway will inevitably arouse the covetousness of others, and those people are the real hungry wolves.
"What price did the Mensa Empire pay?"
Raising his head and looking into Histon's eyes, Sean asked.
"The Mensa Empire will withdraw from the occupied territories within a year and return them to the alliance for processing. It also promises to introduce steam technology from various countries and vigorously develop the steam industry."
With low words, Histon stated the conditions given by the Mensa Empire.
Upon hearing this, Sean's brows furrowed even more.
"Too little.
"
"Yeah, too little."
On the other side, Histon also sighed.
The war in the Old Continent lasted for many years. At the beginning, relying on surprise and powerful extraordinary foundation, the invasion group headed by the Mensa Empire won successive victories on the battlefield, and the counter-invading countries could only barely parry, but as time went by With the passage of time, the countries of the Anti-Aggression Alliance truly united and used their resources. The offensive of the Mensa Empire was immediately contained. After so many years of entanglement, the Mensa Empire was in a state of unparalleled strength both in terms of top combat power and on the frontal battlefield. They have been completely at a disadvantage. Defeat seems to be only a matter of time, but now they suddenly want peace talks. This is really abnormal.
Although there are sixteen principalities and seven kingdoms that have been destroyed by the Mensa Empire in recent years. These occupied lands are indeed a big cake, but there are many forces in the anti-invasion alliance, and each force can get its share after carving it up. Not much. In addition, some of the most precious assets of these kingdoms must have been looted by the Mensa Empire, and their actual value will be further reduced.
As for the introduction of the steam industry, although it is good for several countries such as the Free Federation, it is also a good thing for the Mensa Empire itself. After all, the introduction of the steam industry will definitely further promote the economic development of this country.
In exchange for the cessation of the war with these two conditions, one is not to cede territory, and the other is not to pay compensation, it is really too cheap for the Mensa Empire. You must know that this war that swept the entire Old Continent caused both sides to endure a great deal. There is huge pressure, but the people's livelihood foundation and economic strength of the Anti-Aggression Alliance will eventually far exceed that of the declining old empire of the Mensa Empire. Even if the war continues, the Mensa Empire will be the first to collapse.
The most important thing is that during this war, the Mensa Empire plundered a large amount of resources. If they cannot be defeated this time and they digest this amount of resources, then the old empire of the Mensa Empire will usher in a new transformation. At that time, no matter how terrifying it is on the mainland, it will be difficult for any force to check and balance him. Sean doesn't believe that the people in power in various countries can't see such a problem, but in the end they still agreed to the armistice. There must be something hidden in it that he doesn't know. thing.
"No other news?"
His fingers tapped on the table, and the thoughts in Sean's mind kept turning.
"No, although the Montel family is pretty good within the Kingdom of Sutirte, looking at the entire Old Continent, it can barely be considered a first-rate force. It is still far from the real top forces. However, according to the family think tank Judging from the results deduced by Tuan, the existence behind this incident is likely to involve existences above the seventh level. Only these existences can make such a counter-intuitive thing happen so naturally."
Looking at Sean, a dark brilliance flashed in his emerald green eyes, Histon revealed the family's speculation.
Hearing this, Sean fell into deep thought.
After all, the world of Boya is a world of high demons. Many things cannot be seen only from the surface, or from the world. The third demonic wave is about to come. As expected, those seventh-level beings will truly wake up from their slumber. In such a world At sensitive time points, worldly changes may also be a manifestation of their will.
"Father, you should be promoted to the sixth level soon, right?"
With thoughts swirling in his mind and thinking of some possibility, Sean changed the topic.
Hearing this, Heston took a deep look at Sean and no longer struggled with the previous topic. Histon nodded.
"My progress has been faster and faster during this period. I have vaguely touched the boundary of the sixth level. I will try to hit the sixth level soon."
Without hiding anything, Histon explained his current state. His eyes were originally blue, but now they have turned into emerald green due to the mutation of his bloodline, and his strength has also changed with it.
Histon and Sean had had an exchange before about the abnormal bloodline of the Montel family. Although Sean did not say it clearly that time, Histon could clearly sense that Sean knew the truth of the matter. And as the Holy Oak Church took root in the Greenfield Territory, Histon became more certain of his suspicions.
Of course, although there were already speculations in his mind, Histon had no intention of pointing out or asking further questions. It would be nice to know some things by himself. At this critical moment, being able to have a relatively close relationship with a seventh-level person would be very important to Monte. This is a great thing for the Er family.
"Father, advance to the sixth level as soon as possible. The third wave of demons is coming soon. By that time, the world's structure will have changed dramatically again."
Looking at Histon, Sean spoke again.
Hearing this, his expression changed slightly, and Histon nodded. Many forces have predicted the arrival of the third demonic wave, but so far no one has given a specific time.
After hanging up the transcontinental phone call, Sean sat alone in the study, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, and narrowed his eyes.
"Most of the sixteen principalities and seven kingdoms that were destroyed were countries that emerged in recent times. Only a few of them have been inherited for a long time. Should I say this is a coincidence or a silent understanding?"
Seeing the carefree and dancing butterflies in the sun, Sean's thoughts were spinning.
"Although there were some twists and turns, the steam trend finally took shape in the Old Continent. Although war was an obstacle, it was not necessarily a catalyst. It was precisely because of the existence of war that many countries had to vigorously develop steam science in order to obtain better results. Powerful weapons, and a vast war that lasted for many years, affected the entire Old Continent, and had casualties in the hundreds of millions, might not be a feast for some beings."
There was a dark light in his blue eyes, and Sean's thoughts gradually sank.
