Chapter 2334 Diplomatic Rhetoric
Although the casualties in this war were not large, it was considered by critics to be the event with the worst impact since the legendary hero period. What's more, it was considered to be the transition from the legendary hero period to the melee period.
It’s no wonder they think this way. It has been a thousand years since the legendary heroic period. During this thousand years, there have been very few wars between countries. Even if there are occasional troops coming to the city, it is because that country broke the Zephyr Continent contract and was subject to It’s just joint sanctions from several other countries.
But not this time.
According to intelligence sources, the foreign affairs personnel of the two countries immediately returned to their countries after the negotiations failed. On the same day and the next day, they assembled their troops. When the sun rose on the third day, they rushed to the junction of the two countries and launched a war that caused A battle in which thousands of people died and tens of thousands were injured to varying degrees.
Whether it was done impulsively or premeditated, the negative impact of this war is indeed incalculable.
Hundreds of local businessmen from both countries purchased airship tickets to other towns.
Although there are only a few hundred people like this at present, this is a signal that tells us that if the war continues, there will be more businessmen leaving the country. Even by then, it will not only be the businessmen leaving the country, but also ordinary residents. Go far away.
On the third day after the war ended, Moonlight City issued a stern rebuke, believing that this war, which was caused by the inability to reach a consensus on the distribution of mining areas, was impulsive and unwise, would have extremely negative consequences, and would destroy Zephyr Continent. Contracts and regulations signed between countries should be reviewed.
Immediately afterwards, Fort Vicky also sent a rebuke. The Goblin King and the Dwarf King jointly stated that it is said that during the heroic period, the ancestors of the monarchs of various countries were the best friends. As their descendants, we should also respect and love each other. Let's go hand in hand to build a civilized and beautiful peaceful continent, instead of causing vicious wars like now because of some insignificant things.
Parallel to Vicky Castle's rebuke was the condolence speech by Simons Locke, the Lord of York and Han City. He said that in this battle, nearly a hundred adventurers from the York and Han City guild stationed in Airey City were unfortunately killed. These adventurers They are all young people with outstanding talents, and they are all the shining stars of York and Seoul in the future. They originally wanted to send them to Airey City to practice for a few days, polish their edges and make their lives more meaningful, and then call them back to the country and entrust them with important responsibilities. Who will Unexpectedly, such a sad thing happened. As a monarch, he had an unshirkable responsibility, but before he took responsibility, he wanted to ask for a fair explanation from the two countries as to why he suddenly broke the contract and initiated War, if the two countries' explanations cannot convince the public, York and Hancheng will take necessary measures and seek justice from the two countries in their own way.
The Elf Palace, the side hall, and the meeting hall.
The Fairy Queen smiled and threw a copy of the newspaper on the newly waxed hollowed-out rosewood table. The newspaper slid far away and stopped right in front of me.
"This Simmons Locke is really a bold man. He dared to take advantage of my sisters when he was young. However, in middle age, this man still has such a hard temper. It's rare, rare."
The Elf Queen stretched out her hand and placed the newspaper board in front of me, and said softly to the Elf Queen: "With the words of the Lord of York and Han City, the two countries will more or less converge."
"Yes." The Fairy Queen nodded slightly: "It will stop for a while, but I'm afraid it won't stop for long."
As she said that, she took out a small piece of paper from her arms, threw it in front of me, and said, "Open Nian Nian."
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Dasai City and the noble class are meeting to discuss secretly, preparing to use diplomatic language to extradite the foreign elder's fiancée, Lord Kailan."
The end of the note is marked: Your most loyal subordinate.
The Elf Queen frowned slightly: "You want to extradite Xiao Yi's fiancée through diplomatic rhetoric? Why do they have to extradite? And what qualifications do they have to extradite?"
"Calm down, Anastas, this is nothing like your usual self." The Elf Queen smiled and patted the Elf Queen's little hand: "Don't be blinded by the fate of your future sisters. You have to believe in you, Xiao Yi, and your future." My husband, I believe he will handle this matter well."
After hearing this, the Elf Queen blushed slightly and bowed her head shyly.
The Fairy Queen looked at me and said, "If I guessed correctly, you should have known about this matter a long time ago and have already thought of countermeasures, right?"
"As you said, grandma," I said, "Kailan is my fiancée, the fiancée of an elder from outside the Moonlight City. No matter what diplomatic rhetoric is used, it is impossible to extradite her back unless she still has an unfinished contract. But in fact, she has completed all the contracts that should be completed, whether it is the wine debt of the tavern merchant on credit, or the right to use the equipment enhancement machine."
"What if they find other excuses?" The Fairy Queen asked: "What if they suspect that Kailan has stolen the secrets of Darsay City?"
"Suspicion requires evidence. If they can produce evidence, even if it is temporary or fake, as long as they can produce it, everyone can gather in one place to discuss the authenticity of the evidence. But if they cannot produce it, , that is slander, I will protest to Dashai City as a foreign elder from Moonlight City and demand a public apology from Dashai City."
The Fairy Queen narrowed her eyes: "What if they don't apologize? What if they use forceful words?"
"It doesn't matter." I spread my hands and said, "Apologizing is just a means of perfunctory and shifting the target. As long as the topic is shifted to slander, as long as the people believe that Kailan is innocent and was persecuted by some people with ulterior motives in Dashai City. We believe that the vulnerable groups will soon receive a response from the public, especially those who have been oppressed all year round."
After taking a sip of tea and moistening my lips, I continued: "Don't underestimate the power of the people. Once their anger is aroused, any power will be as crisp as a piece of paper and be completely torn into pieces."
The Fairy Queen smiled and nodded at me: "This cunning boy, Anastas, you have to pay more attention and don't be bullied by this boy."
"Grandma~" The Elf Queen's cheeks were red, her ears were hot, and she was about to hide under the table in shame.
Things turned out just as we expected.
One week before the end of the war, the envoy from Darsay City met with the two Queens on the order of the Orc King and submitted the so-called diplomatic instructions, hoping to extradite Kailan back to the country. The excuse submitted was that Kailan was ordered to design for the military. When equipping the enhanced machine, he was exposed to military secrets. These military secrets are classified and must be questioned and investigated in Dashai City. Only after it is confirmed that he does not know the secret contents can he be released as a free man.
The envoy also solemnly expressed the hope that their majesties, the two queens, could cooperate with the decision made by Dasay City and not be swayed by emotions, let alone do anything that goes against the relationship between the two countries.
