Ark's Journey to the Demon God

"There is no need to feel too sad, Ma Enna, the men of the Linguang family will never be held back by the past."

Russell shook his head and said: "Cyril's ending has no regrets. He knows that you brothers are on the right path. This is much better than you crying like a child in front of his bed."

"I understand, Mr. Russell."

Maena nodded.

He nodded and said: "Then, let us get to the point."

Maena motioned Ratatos to take out the documents, which contained a contract and a stack of old documents.

The paper of the document is yellowed and has some damage at the corners. It is obviously a document from a long time ago.

"This is a copy of the [Declaration of Territory of the Ursus Empire]..." Ratatos carefully placed the paper on the table in front of Russell and explained:

"Starting from the 37th year of the Terra Calendar, every hundred years, the secretary of the Ursus Empire will take out the [Declaration of the Territory of the Ursus Empire], copy it, and keep it in another place."

"We can't bring over the original documents because they are engraved on stone tablets and are cultural relics... But we have brought the latest copy from decades ago."

"Your Excellency, Lord Knight Commander, please take a look."

Russell did not watch immediately, but smiled at Latatos and said: "I know you, Latatos, the daughter of the Sheragbolantau family... You are much more mature than I thought, look. Home owners who come to Brontau can feel at ease.”

"Thank you for your recognition, Lord Russell." Ratatos replied.

Ratatos was quite happy to be recognized by her elders.

Smiling gently, Russell lowered his head and began to read the document——

[Declaration of the Territory of the Ursus Empire], written by the first emperor of the Ursus Empire, this declaration explains the legitimacy of the Ursus Empire as the overthrower and successor of the Hippogriff Empire, and explains the Ursus Empire in the main paragraph. The specific legal territorial scope of the Sars Empire.

"From the south of the Northern Mountains to the north of the Key West Valley, 1 miles..."

"This is the legal principle of Ursus and is orthodox." Maena said calmly. He faced all the Casimir knights in the room and said on behalf of Ursus: "Since a thousand years ago, north of the Key West Valley, They are all the territory of Ursus, and this has not changed even after the endless wars in later generations."

In fact, all territorial issues can be attributed to strength and legal principles, which symbolizes the most universal respect in human history.

In a sense, the legal principles of the Ursus Empire were much more orthodox than those of Casimir.

After all, when the first emperor of Ursus entered the country with a group of bears, there was no Casimir.

"What guarantees can the Ursus...Integral Movement give Casimir?"

Russell closed the document. After all, the legal document was just a dead thing. It was people who could really decide everything.

"With the Key West Valley as the boundary, the Integrationist Republic of Ursula has sworn never to take the initiative to invade south of the valley with armed forces. Likewise, we reserve the right to fight back after being attacked."

Ratatos answered in a straight-forward manner, saying: "This matter is the resolution of the Ursus Integration Movement Committee. It is the resolution of the representatives and the resolution of the Ursus people."

"We will not invade Casimir again."

"Is it just that?" Russell narrowed his eyes. Her temperament suddenly changed. She was no longer the warm and kind elder, but became a battle-hardened knight——

Ta…Ta…Ta…

In the conference room, the Silver Spear Pegasus standing around took a step forward. They looked at Maena and Ratatos. Although they were speechless, they were full of pressure.

Flesh and white bones, soil and smoke...

The aura of terror born on the battlefield lingered here. Ratatos clenched her fists subconsciously, while Maena took a step forward calmly:

"Your Excellency Russell..."

Maena spoke slowly and said: "Usas's conditions are like this, what are Casimir's conditions?"

"Maena..." Russell sighed and said: "The Casimir people's resentment towards Ursus is irrevocable. This will not be easily changed by the change of Ursus' political system."

"so what?"

"So the people of Casimir should have the right to receive an apology and compensation."

"What does Casimir want?" Maena asked.

"In the past, all the wars launched by the Ursus side, and everything the Ursus Empire plundered from the Casimir people, have been recorded one by one."

Russell motioned to the knight behind him and pressed a heavy file on the table——

"Usas needs to be returned, and that's Casimir's terms."

"Your Excellency Russell." Ratatos pursed her lips and said, "Usas cannot accept this condition."

"What? Ursus is obviously determined to get back together, but he doesn't have the consciousness to make compensation?" Russell asked calmly.

"This is too much, Your Excellency." Maena replied: "Moreover, in the past wars, there were many Casimir people who took the initiative."

The history of the war between Casimir and Ursus is a bad thing. This history spans thousands of years. The two come and go, and the right and wrong are difficult to discuss.

"It would be better to do this, Your Majesty the Grand Knight Commander."

Ratatos thought for a while and said: "Usas can withdraw from part of the area north of the Key West Valley and use this area as a buffer zone between Casimir and Usas. A stronghold for trade between Ursus and Casimir.”

"Usas is willing to show its friendly attitude by selling all kinds of supplies at low prices."

Using discounts instead of compensation is a good solution, both internally and externally.

But will the Grand Knight Commander agree?

Ratatos looked nervously at the flagpole-like person in front of her.

The erect lady seems to be a student waiting for the teacher's judgment.

There is so much pressure in front of Mr. Russell...

"A good agreement should satisfy both parties."

The Grand Knight Commander knew that this was the biggest concession that Ursus could make. It would be a delusion for the people of this country to really compensate for all the losses in past wars.

Similarly, the Casimir people will not accept it. Let the Ursus people abandon all past sins like this. This is irresponsible to their own people.

So, this proposal, which is not very pleasing to both sides, is very good.

"The specific agreement needs to be negotiated separately, but we can accept this proposal." Russell smiled, she stretched out her hand and said: "I hope this time, Ursus can keep his word."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Russell."

Ratatos held the Grand Knight Commander's hand and said, "The Ursus Integrationist Republic will always keep its promises."

Chapter 8 Great Yanren’s stance

Dayan——

As a large country located in the easternmost part of the Terra continent; as a country that has lasted for thousands of years.

The vast territory and long culture jointly ensure the prosperity of the Yan Kingdom.

And her capital city is the best reflection of this prosperous river and mountain.

There is a lot of traffic, people coming and going, merchants who open their doors to welcome customers, knights traveling around the country, farmers entering the city, and craftsmen doing work. They all live together at the feet of the emperor.

It is unlike any country on the continent of Terra. While most countries on this land are still seeking plunder and war, Great Yan is like an alternative, located in the east of the world.

[The militaristic country cannot understand where Dayan’s current prosperity comes from. 】

A country that does not rely on developing territory or plundering resources can sustain itself. Great Yan has been here since a thousand years ago.

Dayan, their civilization history is second only to Tikaz, like the stars in the sky, eternal.

"All of this is the result of our people's pursuit and the concerted efforts of everyone in the temple."

In the restaurant, there is an old man and a young man.

Young people are majestic and upright; old people are wise, calm and generous.

"Young Master Shang, you are right."

The old man replied calmly. He looked out from time to time, and the person waiting was coming...

"Brother, let's have some Shang Shu hot pot skewers!"

A figure walked into the restaurant. The figure had white hair and red eyes, and coral-like dragon horns were dotted on both sides of her head. She looked more free and unrestrained than ever before, and walked in the door carrying a baggage.

"coming."

The old man muttered, then saw Nian walking straight to the table, putting down the baggage in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, have you ever..."

"Cough cough!!"

The Taifu beside him coughed twice urgently. He looked around, put down the tea cup in his hand, and emphasized in a low voice: "Call Mr. Shang."

"Oh~"

~(￣▽￣～)~

Nian raised her lips, she sat down casually, took a sip of tea on the table, and said with a smile, "Did Mr. Shang sneak out?"

"What do you call this?" The young man raised his eyebrows and said, "There is nothing in the world but the king's land. I... I have nothing to do and want to come out and have a look. How can I say... I ran away?"

"Not running away?"

Nian smiled and joked: "It's not like you ran away. Why didn't I see the guards? You, old and young, are just sitting in the restaurant like this. What should the waiters do if they can't find you?"

I can still imagine the expressions of those people in the palace when they couldn't find the emperor and the master. If the emperor didn't return to the palace in time, someone might be dead.

"That's not the case." The emperor shook his head and said, "I...when I came out, I left a handwritten letter. As long as I go back before tomorrow, it will be fine. As for the guards..."

The emperor turned his head subconsciously and looked outside the restaurant——

Among the chaotic vendors, there was a man wearing a Taoist robe. He had deep wrinkles on his face and a long snow-white beard. He was holding a fly whisk and stood alone. However, with such an aloof temperament, he did not stand out among the crowd. At first glance, if you weren't looking for him deliberately, you wouldn't even notice him. The traders and civilians passing by him didn't even notice the whisks brushing their shoulders, as if they were in a painting.

"Uncle Qinglei." Nian whispered.

"Long time no see, Nian."

The Taoist's lips did not move, but his words had their own magic. He walked into the hall and into the ears of the three people in the restaurant.

"It's been a long time indeed." Nian nodded, and then the second brother brought up a copper pot with skewers soaked in red oil -

"Why don't Uncle Qinglei come in and have some food?"

"No, as we get older, our tastes become blander." Qing Leibo nodded in return for Nian's kindness.

"Tsk, tsk, that's missing a lot of flavor~" The young man picked up a skewer and watched the red oil dripping down the bamboo sticks and meat. It was so tempting.

"Your energy is better than before, Nian."

Qing Leibo suddenly changed the subject and said, "Congratulations, it seems you have found yourself."

"Well, yes." Nian took a bite of the skewers in his hand and said with a smile, "I found it."

"So good, so good."

Qinglei Bo nodded and said no more.

"Nian, have you brought Mr. Shen's letter?"

There was not enough time, so the Tutor gave up his intention of chatting and opened the door to see you.

mountain road.

"Well, I brought it, brought it, and some specialties."

Nian said with a smile and opened the baggage at hand. Inside was a letter and a wrapped gift——

"Usas' specialty cured meat...Mr. Shen's gift is really...affordable."

The Taifu thought about it for a long time and came up with a "benefits", which he thought would be difficult for the old man.

"It seems that Brother Shen Xian is not very good at official worldliness. This is an interesting fact."

The emperor raised his lips and said, "But this is good, but it is different from ordinary people."

The emperor smiled and put the bacon aside and opened the letter.

After a long time, the emperor put down the letter, feeling filled with emotion——

"Brother Shen Xian, you are worthy of being..."

In the past, when Shen Muke was in the court, he could still clearly remember the figures of the countries surrounding Great Yan. But now, in just a few years, one of the three scourges in the past has disappeared.

"Sir Shang?"

"Usas is dead, as Brother Shen Xian said." The Emperor smiled at the Tutor and said, "Now there is no more trouble in the northwest of Great Yan."

For a moment, Tai Tu felt a mixture of emotions in his chest.

Sure enough, it is one thing to listen to what the subordinates say, but it is another thing to read the letter from the person involved.
