I'm the one running the game

As expected, the final owner of the Blade of Law Breaker was the Aore Empire. As Gato said, the Aore Empire fought for it at all costs, forcing a number of countries in the Alliance of Nations to give up.

Compared with the Aore Empire, which had no way out and was desperate to do anything, the countries had a way out, so they could stop the loss in time.

Then, the Blade of Law Breaker fell into the hands of Lu Xingshi, but he didn't have time to study it much.

Then the Alliance of Nations was beaten again, and most of the Dragon Mountain Range fell into the hands of the Aore Empire.

Because of the successive failures, many empires in the Alliance of Nations could not bear it. People died and land was lost. This would make anyone's mentality collapse.

So the peace faction appeared in the Alliance of Nations.

That is, they didn't want to fight anymore. They had always won the war and could continuously plunder the resources of the Aore Empire as a supplement. They had sufficient benefits, so they were naturally happy to do so.

But now they keep losing, not only are they beaten but also have no benefits, but they are also in a large deficit, which is naturally unbearable.

The voices of internal peace talks are getting louder and louder, and finally become the mainstream.

Then... peace talks begin.

The news has not yet reached the capital of the Aore Empire, but is still at the front line of the Dragon Mountains, in the hands of Lu Xingshi.

The meaning is that the two sides are negotiating peace, and you can't continue to fight.

"What do you think?" Lu Xingshi handed the official letter to Gatto.

After reading it, Gatto frowned.

"How are they going to talk?" Gatto definitely doesn't want to stop.

It's a rare good situation, and the casualties are low. The other side fights and stops when they say they will? Then what is their Aore Empire.

"I don't know, just sent a letter of peace talks and ceasefire, and the specific content of the peace talks is probably sent directly to the capital." Lu Xingshi narrowed his eyes: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will arrive in the capital at the latest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

The alliance of countries must know that neither Lu Xingshi nor Gatto will agree to peace talks.

On the contrary, not all the high-ranking officials in the imperial capital are war advocates.

Although the Aole Empire is advancing rapidly, it is actually holding on with gritted teeth. It is a battle to gamble on the fate of the country.

If it succeeds, it will naturally turn over, and if it fails, it will definitely be destroyed.

However, now, as long as peace talks are made, this high-risk and high-return forced behavior can be stopped.

"I have no objection to peace talks, but the remaining areas of the Dragon Mountain Range must become the territory of the Aole Empire." Lu Xingshi expressed his demands.

Whether to fight or not, Lu Xingshi doesn't care, but if anyone dares to stop him from becoming stronger, don't blame Lu Xingshi for being ruthless.

Even if it is the Aole Empire, Lu Xingshi will turn his face directly.

You broke the promise on the agreed conditions. Do you really think he is easy to bully?

I have fulfilled my promise to help the empire conquer the Dragon Mountain Range. If there are problems with my research due to the Aole Empire, then Lu Xingshi doesn't mind turning the Aole Empire into the Landon Empire.

He rarely takes action, but his reputation in the south of the empire is very high now. He only needs to incite emotions to ensure that people will follow him to counterattack the empire as soon as he raises his arm.

The reason is very simple. The civilians and soldiers in the southern Dragon Mountains are real victims in the battlefield of the alliance of countries, not the group of people in the imperial capital who have not experienced it.

So the least likely to agree to the peace talks of the empire are these people.

What about their relatives who died in the battlefield?

If they really want to negotiate peace, they only need an opportunity to be instigated and coerced by Lu Xingshi.

"I think so too. The empire has invested so many people, and they took the initiative to negotiate peace. If they don't pay enough, then the next time they tear up the agreement, it will be as easy as eating and drinking water." Cato agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement.

So many people died in the Dragon Mountains, and they must take down the entire mountain range in one piece.

"It's just... unlikely, and we may even be asked to return the territory we occupy." Cato sighed: "Even if the Alliance of Nations negotiates peace, it is impossible for the Empire to occupy the entire Dragon Mountain Range."

"Once the Dragon Mountain Range falls into the hands of the Empire, then the next war will not be launched by the Alliance of Nations, but by our Aore Empire."

"And it will be the more powerful Aore Empire, they can't stop it at all."

"So if the Empire agrees to negotiate peace, then the most likely price is the return of the Dragon Mountain Range, and then the Alliance of Nations will compensate from other places." Cato said helplessly.

"General Cato, do you remember what I said when I came south to the Dragon Mountain Range?" Lu Xingshi said coldly.

"I know, but..." Cato was also helpless.

"No, but once the Empire chooses to use the Dragon Mountains as the price of peace, I will leave the Empire immediately, and use the meteorite technique to destroy the entire imperial capital and control the entire empire."

"I helped the Empire because the Empire agreed to my request."

"The Empire broke its promise, but it's not that I don't have enough means to turn the Aole Empire into the Landon Empire." Lu Xingshi said calmly.

This made Cato silent.

Lu Xingshi's words were too straightforward.

"The Aole Empire is still the Aole Empire because I don't have so much time to deal with it. Otherwise, do you think the Empire can stop me?" Lu Xingshi pointed to the Seven Deadly Sins Magic Mirror floating beside Cato.

Indicates the magic mirror puppet, you represent the empire, and now you only have the right to use it, but the ownership is still in his hands. If you want to take it back, it is just a matter of words.

At that time, all the magic mirror puppets in the entire Dragon Mountain Range will become his extraordinary soldiers and obey his orders.

"So I will advise the empire to consider it carefully. After all, I can stabilize the situation and change the situation."

"It is best to listen to my advice. When they wake up, the empire will still be the empire."

Lu Xingshi's words are not threatening, but true.

Today's Lu Xingshi is fully capable of doing what he said.

It's just that compared to power, he values ​​his own strength more, so he didn't choose to take action.

It's easy to conquer the world, and it can be solved by force, but it's not so easy to defend the world. He doesn't have the fate of the emperor, so he can't be a hands-off boss.

So it's best to have an agent to cooperate.

His cooperation with the Aore Empire was still very pleasant before the peace talks.

He paid some insignificant costs, and the empire supported his research in the Dragon Mountain Range and reimbursed all resource costs.

"Don't worry, Grand Duke Lanton. The Empire may not necessarily negotiate peace. We will fully consider your suggestions."

"And even if we negotiate peace, it may not necessarily be successful. The Empire will definitely try to occupy the Dragon Mountains." Cato said.

There are peace advocates in the Empire, but there are also war advocates. Now that the Empire has a rare advantage, many people are thinking about going further.

"You have no confidence. It seems that peace negotiations are imperative." Lu Xingshi heard what Cato said, otherwise how could he use words such as "maybe" and "try".

In fact, the Aore Empire has paid a considerable price up to now, and the national strength is struggling.

Especially for ordinary civilians at the bottom, there are endless problems such as population decline and economic depression. It will take at least three generations to recover.

"I'll rush back to the imperial capital. You will be responsible for this." Cato suddenly said.

If the peace negotiations fail, the worst thing is to continue fighting. If the peace negotiations succeed, you will have to face Lu Xingshi.

This is not the situation Cato wants to see.

Compared with the alliance of countries, Cato believes that once Lu Xingshi rebels, it will be more difficult for the Empire.

The meteorites summoned by Lu Xingshi were enough to raze the imperial capital to the ground.

"So decisive?" Lu Xingshi was a little surprised. He thought Cato would continue to struggle: "You left like this and handed the Seven Deadly Sins Magic Mirror to me. Aren't you afraid that I will take action directly after hearing the news of the peace talks?"

"I am afraid, but if that is the case, it is the Empire's fault." Cato answered sharply.

They fought to the death on the front line, but the enemy said to cease fire and you just stopped fighting. The great advantage was wasted. No one would be willing to do that.

Not to mention the great advantage of the Dragon Mountain Range, which was also due to Cato's contribution.

Once the peace talks are held, the credit will definitely be reduced.

Whether for the empire itself or for himself, Cato will not watch the peace talks succeed.

"Okay, then you go and come back quickly." Lu Xingshi did not stop him. It would be best if Cato could succeed.

…

"The peace agreement of the Alliance of Nations has been delivered. You have also read it. What do you say?" A senior official in the Empire's high-level council spoke up.

"Negotiation? They started the war without our consent, and now they can't stop the war." A senior leader of the pro-war faction sneered.

In the past, we always lost when fighting, and we negotiated peace when there was no benefit.

But now it's different. The empire's finances are gradually recovering because of the victory.

"If we continue to fight, the population and economy will be destroyed. Even if we win, the empire will be in tatters." A senior leader of the pro-peace faction retorted.

"Heh, you're not a spy of the Alliance of Nations, are you? Look at their conditions, they want us to return the Dragon Mountain Range." Another high-ranking war faction leader directly accused them: "Without the Dragon Mountain Range, when the Alliance of Nations recovers, do you still want to recover? I'm afraid they will attack again in two days."

"If you want to negotiate peace, you must not only consider these issues." A high-ranking war faction leader immediately said: "Don't forget the requirements of Grand Duke Lanton."

"Without the Dragon Mountain Range, who will calm Grand Duke Lanton's anger? I don't want to face the meteorites falling from the sky and the endless magic mirror puppets."

As soon as these words came out, the high-ranking officials in the parliament fell silent.

They knew how tough Lu Xingshi was. When he was in the Kingdom of Voss, he had just become a viscount and went head-to-head with the Grand Duke. Later, he even dared to fight to the death with the Empire and the Undead with only 10,000 Moonlight Werewolves.

Now they backstab Lu Xingshi, and Lu Xingshi will definitely dare to fight back and kill them all.

The other party went from Viscount Langton to Grand Duke Langton, not by relying on the name passed down from his ancestors, but by actually fighting for the title.

He dared to be so tough even without the strength, and now that he has the strength, he must be even tougher.
