We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

But just when Theresa was about to board the ship, Gladia suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Congratulations on your victory."

"Thank you, but what is this?"

Teresica reached out and took the thing she handed over. It looked like metal, with exquisite patterns embossed on the surface, and it was also very light.

"This is Agor's ceremonial dagger. I bring it with me when I attend important meetings. It has only symbolic meaning to me, but it should still be used as a suitable weapon on land, so I give it to you."

Teresica pulled it out. Its blade also had patterns, but it was not carved. Moreover, the blade glowed with a dangerous cold light, which made people wonder whether it was for ceremonial purposes.

"It's a very nice dagger, I'll accept it."

Teresica took it and boarded the transport ship.

Chapter 163 Sakaz enters the city

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the main street of Vesselheim was no longer as bustling with traffic as it used to be. Most of the citizens gathered on the pedestrian paths on both sides, looking nervously to one side.The woman hugged her husband uneasily.

Their country has lost the war, and the legendary demon will enter the city today.

"Tell me, does Sakaz know how to eat people?"

A man wearing glasses anxiously guessed that he was a teacher, but he searched through various documents and records and could not find a single positive description of Sakaz.

Finally, from the other end of the street, the neat and rhythmic sound of military boots came, tapping into the hearts of the residents of Vesselheim.

The sound of military boots came from far away, and the figures of Sarkaz's army also appeared in front of the citizens of Vishelheim.

The cavalry marched on the right side of the street, while the infantry marched on the left.They lined up neatly and marched forward with their chests held high. Although their cold eyes could not be said to be menacing, they definitely did not make people feel friendly.Coupled with Sakazbi Caprini's muscular body and cold weapons, it made the people around him extremely nervous.

The children were lying on the windowsill, curiously looking at the scene on the street.They only knew that school was closed today. Although they were locked up at home, it was much more comfortable without a teacher around.

The grand march was just a show, and Teresica himself did not appear in it. He had already entered Vesselheim like an ordinary tourist in a car presented by Syracuse.

He was accompanied by the Banshee and the Shining, as well as several royal guards, and an agent of the Queen of Leitania who served as a human communication tool.

"It's such a nice city. I've always wanted to visit Letania, and today I can fulfill my wish."

Teresica smiled and said: "Sir, will you take me to have some fun? Tell me what you want to eat and do."

"Okay... okay, Your Majesty the King."

The weather was not very hot, and he was still standing in the shade of a tree, but the sweat on this man's forehead kept flowing down.

Regardless of whether he was really a local, Teresica followed him around.Take a look at the restaurants on the street, and then look at how many pedestrians there are in the business. From time to time, you even go to the alleys to take a look.

The Queen's agent didn't understand, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she could only speak very lightly.

"Your Majesty, is it time to head to the tower?"

"What's the rush? Let's walk around for a while. This is such a good city."

Teresica waited until 11 o'clock before heading to the tower where the nobles of Letania lived. The original nobles had moved out and were vacated as a negotiation venue and a residence for Kazdaele's diplomatic team.

When they met the twin queens, there was no rivalry between them. Instead, Teresica and them recognized each other as relatives. The three of them sat together and talked and laughed. If you didn't know the fight between Letania and Kazdel, After a fight, you might actually think they are a family.

However, everything ended with the arrival of Werther.

Outside the tower, the two queens Teresica and Letania welcomed the speaker of the Ursus Empire Parliament.When Werther arrived, he simply went through a set of meeting etiquette with the two queens on the side, and then facilitated Teresica's warm conversation.

This clear stance made the electors sigh secretly.

The real negotiations begin.

Teresica said: "The direct economic compensation is 700 billion rubles. All Kazdaele's goods entering Letania are duty-free products. Letania will provide Kazdaele with 15 labor slaves for 10 years. . Hand over technical documents such as spell-casting units, gramophones, etc., and mineral resources must be handed over to Kazdel % every year..."

A list was placed in front of the two queens of Leitania. If the previous clauses that were like plucking hair from all walks of life in Leitania had made them almost cry, then the subsequent additional clauses, then The nobles behind her were frightened.

Kazdel demanded that one-third of the land in the eastern region of Letania be ceded and that it be a pure land suitable for farming and free from natural disasters.He also sent the three current electors to Sarkaz and brought them back to Kazdel for trial.As for who these three people are, let the Letanians choose magnanimously.

"Can you adjust it?"

Both queens asked together, but Teresica's answer was.

"No! I want these! I want them!"

The two queens could only try to turn their gazes to Werther, who was sitting there, but he seemed to have no intention of speaking.

One side wants it, the other side doesn't want to give it, and the two sides are arguing and are at a stalemate. Suddenly one of the two queens faints, and the negotiations can only be temporarily suspended.

After moving into the residence provided, the Banshee Clan leader checked it first and confirmed that there were no problems before Teresica walked in.

"Your Majesty, why is what you said today different from what was discussed in Kazdaele?"

Shining asked curiously. She remembered clearly that His Majesty discussed with the royal court for a long time in Kazdare, discussing whether to let Leitania cede the land. The final result was not, but why did he ask for it again now?

"My child, Your Majesty did this on purpose."

The leader of the Banshee clan explained: "Raise the price first, then give in to the other party, so that you may get more harvest."

"That's right. In order to refute my request to cede territory, the Letanians can only exchange for concessions elsewhere."

Teresica nodded, "It's just that the territory that won't be visited by natural disasters and the land that can be cultivated is really too tempting. It's a pity..."

He sighed.

If Kazdel swallows a piece of land in Leitania now, it will lose the desert buffer land in the middle and directly border Leitania.Although they have suffered heavy losses now, Letania is still facing the border troops in Ursus, Lateran, Syracuse and other places, and it is not without the power to fight.

In this case, Kazdaele will station a large number of troops on the border, which will be a big expense.

Moreover, Leitania has a large population. The sudden addition of a large foreign territory will destroy the original population structure of Kazdaele and cause friction in language and culture.

After all, this is not Germany and Austria on the other side of the world, where both speak German and belong to German culture.

At the same time, Kazdaele's current management team cannot find a full set of Sakaz who can speak Letanian, and he doesn't even have enough!

Once occupied, there is a great possibility of autonomy. When the time comes to seek independence and destroy infrastructure, it will be a headache.

I can only throw away a piece of fat!

Chapter 164 Chatting with Werther

Early the next morning, the door of the residence was carefully pushed open, and some pedestrians appeared on the street in twos and threes.As they walked, they carefully observed the surroundings. After seeing that everything was the same as before, they showed doubts.

'What's going on here?Why is there no change at all? '

It’s not like there weren’t soldiers stationed in Vesselheim before, but after one night, every house had to throw something away, or its windows were smashed. Why was everything okay this time?

After looking around for a while, an aunt came to an unarmed military policeman and asked softly: "Sarkaz is gone?"

"No, look at me today, I don't even dare to take out my weapons."

"Why?" The aunt was a little surprised, "How can you do your duty without weapons?"

Hearing this, a military policeman sighed helplessly: "To prevent unnecessary friction, the number of military policemen on the street has doubled today, but they are not allowed to be armed."

"What about Sakaz? Where are these people hiding?"

"Hide? Everyone is stationed in the closed school."

It happened that all the schools in Viseheim had been closed for the past few days, so the Sarkazis requisitioned them all in one fell swoop and used them as temporary residences for the armed forces accompanying the diplomatic team.

Many surrounding residents stopped here, looking curiously at the Sakaz soldiers setting up field tents on the playground.These people actually used their own belongings and ate their own food, without even trying to steal their things!

Even their own army in Leitania will have soldiers who can't help but be ruthless!Is this demon guy quite polite? !

In the residence where he stayed, Teresica was also preparing to wash up. He called the division commander of the accompanying troops to have breakfast with him.

"The troops were stationed here all night last night. There were no civil problems, right?"

Although she hates the Letanians, Teresica doesn't want her soldiers to bully ordinary Letanians.Before entering Weshelheim, he deliberately temporarily added a deputy officer who had received cultural and ideological education beside officers at all levels, in order to temporarily strengthen the disciplinary ability of the troops entering the city.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that no civil conflict has occurred so far."

The teacher replied confidently.

The soldiers of Sarkaz all know that the Letanians have been taught Originium skills since they were young.Therefore, in their eyes, all residents of this city are approximately equal to militiamen.In addition, the battle has just ended, which is when the loser is full of resentment.

What if you go to someone's house and get killed secretly?Two fists are no match for four hands!Survived on the battlefield, and then died in the negotiation place...

No one wants to be the butt of the joke.

It was confirmed that today's itinerary was only negotiation, but the tower had not yet sent the arrangements for today's negotiations. After waiting for an hour, Teresica decided to go out with Shining for some wandering.But he no longer has any interest in Vesselheim.He learned that the mobile city's stop this time was close to a fixed city, Villach.

Although it is not a developed city and has no strategic value, it has been preserved to this day through the dynasties of Letania and has a long history.And there is a famous university in this city.

Letania Academy of Arts and Letters.

This time Teresica came here, not only did no one stop him, but the principal and other key members of the school all came to greet her. Her attitude could be called humility.

He asked to take a tour of the school, and the principal and others readily agreed and personally acted as guides to introduce him to the objects in the school that always bear historical imprints.

"Your Majesty the King, in front is our school's useful museum, which contains many precious collections..."

"I want to take a look at the classrooms and then the cafeteria. It would be great if I could also take a look at the dormitories. After seeing these, let's go to the museum."

The principal was preparing to follow the usual route for receiving foreign guests, but he did not expect that Teresica actually asked to see these places.

"...Of course there is no problem, please come with me."

Although the request was strange, how could he dare to say anything.

He could only take Teresica to take a look at the classroom from a distance, and then walked around the cafeteria and the empty dormitory.

In the museum of the Letania Academy of Literature and Art, Teresica did see many precious cultural relics, and even Sakaz's paintings from ancient times.

"Your Majesty, do you like this painting?"

Seeing Teresica stop here for a long time, the principal said quickly: "If you like it, I will have someone take it off right now."

"No, thank you principal for your kindness."

Teresica shook her head. He didn't like it, he just couldn't understand it.And even if he really wanted it, why would he get it from the principal?At that time, it will leave a bad reputation.

"Dear His Majesty the King, I didn't expect to see you here."

A familiar voice came. Teresica looked sideways and found that it was Werther!

"Speaker Witte, I am really surprised to see you here."

"I am your Majesty too. The smell of the city is everywhere, it's really boring."

Werther smiled and saluted him, "His Majesty the King happened to be out on a trip, so I also took this opportunity to see the foreign culture and kill some time. I have a cruel request, and I also ask His Majesty the King not to end the trip prematurely. , I haven’t enjoyed such a leisurely time for a long time.”

"Speaker Witte's dedication to his duties is truly amazing."

Teresica smiled and boasted to Werther, but at this moment, from the corner of his eye, he noticed that except for one of the Ursus soldiers who came with Werter, who was closely following Werther, the others stood up and stood in front of the principal and others.

"This museum doesn't cover a large area, so let's take a stroll around it by ourselves. What do you think of His Majesty the King?"

Beak "Sure."

Feeling the Shining's approach, Teresica nodded.

The group of people wandered aimlessly in the museum, and Witte said with emotion: "This kind of time when you don't have to think about anything is really comfortable."

"The management pressure in Ursus is too great. Not only are the people multi-racial, but they are also complex. For the sake of domestic stability, various policies must give preferential treatment to minority groups, but even there are various cultural conflicts between minority groups, and there is no way to give preferential treatment. The real solution only delays the outbreak of conflicts. Moreover, the preferential treatment of minority groups has led to the dissatisfaction of the main ethnic groups. The friction will not stop no matter how hard it is, which is really a headache."

Chapter 165 Harmonious Relationship

At first, Werther was still making subtle insinuations, but as he walked deeper into the museum, he simply stopped pretending, since they were the only ones here anyway.

He said bluntly: "Your Majesty, with Kazdaele's current ability, the pressure to swallow up the land of Letania will probably be great, and this will bring huge geopolitical changes to Kazdaele. Kazdaele Will Dale be able to adapt?”

"Thank you Mr. Witte for the reminder. This will indeed cause a lot of pressure."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Teresica's face, "Most of Ursus's territory is covered with ice sheets and frozen soil. Mr. Witte must know how uncomfortable it is to lack land for crop production. And Kaz What’s more serious in Dell is that there is no land available for planting.”

Teresica suddenly paused when she said this, and then signaled Shining to retreat. When Witte saw this, he also signaled his guards.

Seeing that both of them were far away, he whispered to Witte: "95% of the food consumption in Kazdaele is now imported from Yan Country."

When Werther heard this, the look on his face couldn't help but become dull. No matter what kind of powerful physical advantages this race has, it cannot do without its daily diet.

'This can already be said to be zero output, so isn't it possible that Kazdel is being manipulated at will by the Yan Kingdom? '

"But when the eastern territory of Letania is merged into Kazdaele, the Caprini will become the second largest race in Kazdaele's population, and the proportion is also very huge. At the same time, with Letani Directly bordering Asia, there is no buffer at the border, and military spending will expand dramatically."

When Witt said this, his face was full of worry, and he seemed to be really worried about Kazdale's future.

"This……"
