Doomsday Totem

Chapter 562 Treaties
The sky was cloudless, and not a breath of wind blew on the ground.

Looking from a distance, the horizon is somewhat distorted, like a slightly trembling wavy line, which is an illusion caused by the slowly rising heat on the retina.

The weather was extremely hot, the scorching sun scorched the red Gobi Desert, and the sparse withered grass bowed its head, lifeless.In the shallow sand next to the grass ball, there is a viper lying on its stomach, curled up in a ball, spitting out letters, looking a little listless.

And to the south of it, at the end of the red land, on a high ground, there is a human fortress, the outer wall made of obsidian glistens in the sun.

At this moment, in the fortress of the fortress, in a spacious and bright office, a retro-style radio with a mahogany casing is playing melodious music,
On the half-inch-thick glass coffee table, there was a red wine with an old and yellowed label, with scribbled printing but beautiful and smooth lines.Beside the wine bottle is an exquisite goblet, the wine in the glass is as red as blood, thick and clear, it is a good thing at a glance.

It is now 37170225:11 a.m. Dr52 Silver City time and [-]:[-] p.m. Dorset time.Iron Slag Norses, the head of the Black Wolf Legion, just woke up and was flipping through today's newspaper.

"After six weeks, the Crescent Alliance responded to the Sequoia and Sakata incidents and strongly condemned the relevant departments and companies. Zhao Linglong, spokesperson of the public relations department, said that in the area where the world convention is implemented, a family of thousands of people The industrial company and another group company with a scale of tens of thousands of people were directly deprived of their rights without a trial through legal procedures, which is contrary to the spirit of fairness and justice of the world convention..."

"The Central Continent Northern Territory Noble Alliance Central Earth Alliance held a press conference. The chairman of the Alliance, Leonard, delivered a speech for nearly 10 minutes. He said that Silver City World has entered a period of foreign wars. The major forces and major group companies , we should let go of our prejudices and unanimously speak to the outside world.”

"Yesterday afternoon, the vice president of Central Heavy Industries publicly admitted at the press conference that the black oil power armor may be more suitable for a special group, and mass production may cause social unrest in the short term. Therefore, the board of directors decided to postpone related research and development. According to reports , As early as two weeks ago, Central Heavy Industries has ordered the disbandment of the black oil power armor research and development team, and postponed the research and development plan indefinitely."

Seeing this, Tie Slag couldn't help but feel puzzled. A few weeks ago, Central Heavy Industry was still fighting with the Temple Presbyterian Church. Why did they give in so suddenly?
Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, he put down the newspaper, drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, then corked the cork, put the remaining half bottle of wine into the wine cabinet, and then went down to the restaurant on the third floor.

Not long after, he saw Zhao Wenke who came to have lunch, so the two ate together.During the meeting, he asked the other party about the fact that Central China Heavy Industries stopped developing black oil power armor.

Zhao Wenke thought for a while and said, "Actually... this matter has something to do with us."

"Ah?" Tie Slag showed surprise and was greatly puzzled.

"This...how should I put it..." Zhao Wenke hesitated for a while before saying, "We divided Sequoia and Sakata, and the World Congress has an ambiguous attitude and has not issued any official opinions so far. Not only that, they It also agreed to our application for ownership transfer in accordance with the usual procedures."

"To put it simply, CHI regards the demise of these two companies as a joint warning from the Temple and Notre Dame."

"If it's just the temple, they dare to sing a naysayer, because their foundation is in the diocese of Notre Dame, so they don't have to buy the account of the temple. But if their big backers also join in, then they can only bow their heads and admit their mistakes gone."

"So..." Tie Slag said a little depressed, "I'm shooting myself in the foot."

"You can't say that..." Zhao Wenke sighed, "Our current scale is still too small, whether the black oil power armor is mass-produced or not, it will not have a big impact on us." He continued, "And, from From a macro point of view, it is impossible for Notre Dame to acquiesce in the long-term acquiescence of Central Heavy Industries and the Temple Presbyterian Church, which will affect the balance between their two major beliefs. It is almost imperative to beat Central Heavy Industries, so..." He finally concluded, "You don't have to take it too seriously."

Tie Slag didn't speak, but as a worm, he naturally hoped that his own population could be strengthened.Perhaps one day, when the Xinghuo Daoyuan, the existence of the black oil power armor will be of great importance and significance.It's just this issue, he doesn't want to say more, because it's not something he and Zhao Wen might interfere with.However, he is going to meet someone soon.The other party has this ability, it just depends on whether she is willing to help...

While Tie Slag was thinking and eating, between the Western Continent and the Central Continent, above the Strait Sea, a golden super-large aircraft was swimming in the clouds, like an ancient baleen whale devouring the sky and the sea , slowly swam to the east.

On the bridge of the golden battleship, Eva Green connected to the video communication of the purple-eyed demon general Hermasis Steelwheel.Not long after, a tall and strong Elta man wrapped in mithril armor appeared on the screen, bowed to Eva in salute, then thumped his breastplate vigorously, and greeted Eva in a rough voice. Said: "Sololan is on top." His purple pupils were purple-red, his gray and neat beard, his hair was flat and short, and his image was majestic but gentle.

"Hippas above." Eva nodded in return.

These two greetings originated from the "Soloran and Hippas Treaty" signed between humans and demons more than 600 years ago. The demons respectfully called Soloran Zangwill, the human sage who contributed to the peace between the two races, while humans respectfully called Hippas Ironheart, the sage of the demons.However, due to the destruction of Brilliant beliefs later, Zangwill was also the "falling rain" of one of the Brilliant big families.Therefore, both parties tacitly withdrew the surnames of the two sages.

When the high-level leaders of the two clans negotiated, chanting the names of the two sages meant that the negotiations would be based on the observance of the treaty. For 600 years, the war between humans and demons has basically not exceeded the constraints of the treaty.

"Hippas, we will not impose 370 and eight forbidden spells, including doomsday judgment, endless plague, blood sacrifice, and spiritual destruction." Hermasis Steel Wheel said.

"Sololan, we will not use 190 seven forbidden technologies including nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, and ultra-long-range weapons." Eva said.

"You are 27 hours and 3 minutes ahead of schedule, Ms. Eva." After reading the basic treaty, Hermasis reminded that according to the agreement between the two parties, the negotiation meeting should be tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, but I think..." Eva smiled and said, "We don't need much time to think."

"Okay..." Hermasis spread his hands, then smiled again, and said, "If I'm not wrong, you should have an important date tomorrow."

"Your gaze is as sharp as ever." Eva did not deny it.

"Oh, God of the Giant Spirit..." Hermasis said seriously, "Old Steel Wheel is really curious, what kind of person can be more important than the fate of the Aurora Plane?"

"It's a secret," Eva said with a smile.

"Well, from your gaze, I saw the happiness that belongs to a little woman." Hermasis said, and then his face became serious, and he said solemnly, "So, can we start?"

"You must withdraw from the Aurora Plane, otherwise we will go to war." Eva put away her smile and said without doubt.

"You are too greedy." "We discovered this plane first." "According to the treaty between Soloran and Hippas, no matter which party enters first, the other party will own 30.00% of the land."

"You have occupied the south of the Unfrozen River, and the control area has exceeded [-]%," Eva said.

"There is only one river in the whole plane, what can we do?" Hermasis said.

"Taking a step back, you can only represent one of the seven major clans, and the control area cannot exceed [-]%." Eva said again.

"Havlin doesn't need to control how we distribute internally." Hermasis said with a big grin.

"If you want a war, we can give it to you, but I must remind you that you lost the last two battles," Eva said.

Being poked at the sore spot, Hermasis immediately blushed, and shouted with bulging veins, "That's because of you!"

"If you are willing to withdraw from the Aurora plane, we can give you corresponding compensation." Eva said unmoved, "For example, 5.00% of the income of the entire plane..."

"30.00%, not even a penny less." Hermasis calmed down and said.

"Then what are we talking about?" Eva asked with a cold face.

"20.00%, this is our bottom line, the people of the Giant Spirit God never like to bargain." Hermasis said bluntly.

"Impossible." Eva said calmly.

"Havlin, I will crush your head..." Hermasis grinned, "Although it looks beautiful." Then he cut off the communication with a snap.

Elta people are usually impatient, and the purple-eyed demons are the best among them.Negotiations between the two sides, just a few words back and forth, are quite simple and rude.Eva always felt that if she communicated with them, she would be brought down to the level of elementary school students fighting outside of class.

Basically, it's okay, in a word, it's not okay to start fighting.

Now that the negotiations have failed, the next step is war.Eva called her assistant, Shirley Christina, and issued a war mobilization order for the Aurora plane.In fact, this proposal had already been decided, and she was just implementing it.

The purpose of this negotiation is only for the two parties to reaffirm the Treaty of Soroland and Hippas, which is more formal than practical.If the purple-eyed demons were willing to quit, they would have quit long ago.And this level of war, although it seems large-scale, is actually very low-level, mainly using mercenary groups and small demon tribes to fight long-term wars of attrition.After all, the plane is too big, and the main purpose of both sides is to collect resources.Mutual destruction and harassment is the main theme of plane wars.

As for the large forces on both sides, they are only used as a deterrent, and they will not go to war unless it is absolutely necessary.Damage to the core combat power will threaten internal governance, both for humans and demons.Moreover, the two sides also have a common threat of bee ants, so it is impossible to fight the war too thoroughly.
