Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 473 Peace Negotiation
With the will of the Earl of the North being implemented and the revolutionary army itself expressing its willingness to negotiate, the ceasefire was achieved faster than expected.

Of course, this was naturally due to the sudden snowstorm.

After all, the army in the North still has relatively good anti-cold measures. Although the colonial garrisons are rotten, the basic guarantees are still there.

On the other hand, the revolutionary army was originally a group of poor workers. After becoming the revolutionary army, they fought more for their ideals and did not seek any treatment.

In previous battles, many people were wearing thin clothes and fighting in the severe cold, which also caused a certain degree of non-combat casualties to the revolutionary army.

If the colonial garrison had not been so disgraceful and the revolutionary army had not quickly organized and resumed production to provide logistical support for the revolutionary soldiers after capturing the city, this blizzard would probably have caused them great losses.

However, even so, the invasion of the blizzard still made the revolutionary soldiers on the front line lose their combat capability. If Perfect really launched an attack regardless of casualties at this time, the defense line established by the revolutionary army in the city of Stansor would be completely powerless to resist.

Faced with this reality that they could not refute, even the representatives of the revolutionary army who were most opposed to peace talks had to admit that the peace talks were beneficial to them.

So after the snowstorm stopped, Kallen brought several main representatives of the Revolutionary Army to the city of Stansor, ready to welcome the negotiating representatives from the North.

They took it for granted that Perfectot would not show up in person, or might just show up. After all, they themselves felt that it was impossible to expect the Earl of the North to come and discuss such matters with them in person.

I felt that Perfecto could not be so sincere, nor did I feel that she had the time to do so.

However, when the Northern Earl's airship appeared over the city of Stansor, everyone realized that Perfectoct really intended to negotiate.

Even though she transferred two flag teams of steam knights from the North for the purpose of military deterrence.

This time they are not self-disciplined knights, but real knights of the North.

The dragon-slaying flag team of the White Bear Knights and an elite flag team of the Iron Fire Knights served as Perfecto's guards this time, always guarding her side.

But earlier than these two banner teams were the Flying Knights of the North.

Yes, after such a long time, Perfecto finally perfected the flying knights and gathered a flag team of twelve people, forming the first flying knight flag team in the North.

This time, Perfect brought them out as well, and announced their presence to everyone by taking off directly from the airship and landing at the negotiation venue.

"Damn it, it's a flying steam knight!" Kevin's face turned green when he saw the flying knight. He had seen how difficult it was to deal with the steam knight, and now there was one that could fly? How was he going to fight this?
In fact, it wasn't just Kevin whose face turned green, but also the representatives brought by Karen.

Their faces also turned ugly, even though some of them had previously looked down on the Steam Knight. However, no matter who they were, when they saw such a huge iron lump flying in the sky and then smashing in front of them in a heroic manner, creating a hole, the impact would make even the toughest people realize that tough talk is not as hard as fists.

Not to mention, the Steam Knight itself is very oppressive, and in order to realize the flying function, the Flying Knight installs various auxiliary equipment, as well as protects the knight himself during the flight. Perfect also deliberately enlarges the size of the Flying Knight's armor, making it look nearly three meters.

Being frightened to the point of changing one's face was already considered good. Some of the ignorant revolutionary soldiers at the scene were frightened to the point of their legs going limp, and they collapsed to the ground, constantly praying to the All-Father or something like that. This was the normal reaction that a normal person would have.

Fortunately, Perfecto soon landed from the airship and arrived at the negotiation venue. He did not make a fuss about the matter and asked to start negotiations directly, which eased the situation.

So both sides entered into a formal negotiation state, but this incident itself still had a great impact on the revolutionary army. After all, negotiations are often a psychological game, and showing force for deterrence is undoubtedly a very effective means in negotiations.

Judging from the current results, even if Perfect had no intention of taking advantage of this, the Revolutionary Army was already in a passive position right from the start.

"Listen, the end of the world is coming, and I have a lot of things to do, so I am serious about this peace talk!" Perfect returned to his original identity and said to the revolutionary army negotiators headed by Kallen in an extremely serious manner: "You can make any demands, but before you speak, I hope you will think carefully about whether you have thought through the demands you put forward. Don't make those completely impossible demands.

Although I don't want my army to make unnecessary sacrifices due to the impact of this blizzard, if you really want to reject this kindness, then I don't mind using Steam Knights to break all your defenses."

This is undoubtedly a passage that is more of a threat than a statement.

Faced with Perfectok's attitude, a representative of the revolutionary army changed his face on the spot and wanted to stand up and curse Perfectok.

However, just a look from the Steam Knights behind Perfecto made him sit back down, not daring to say anything.

On the contrary, Kallen was calm and composed at this time. She nodded affirmatively and said, "Although your words are unpleasant to hear, I can hear that you are indeed sincere in negotiating. So what are your conditions? First of all, I have to state that for the Revolutionary Army, surrender is absolutely impossible."

"Well, is this your bottom line? Then my bottom line is that the Empire does not accept division." Perfect looked at Kallen. At this moment, she was somewhat pleased with Kallen's growth, but she would not give in on anything that needed to be discussed: "What the Empire needs is stability, and the New World colonies are also of great significance to the Empire and the North, so any form of division of the New World is intolerable.

To this end, I will ensure this, even if it means taking measures that I do not wish to use.

As for other matters, they are all within the scope of negotiation, including the establishment of a dominion."

"Dominion? Can the Empire really accept such a thing?" Kallen looked at Perfect, finding it unbelievable.
