The two admirals, Joel, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Front of the Constitutional Army, and Raimendi, the commander of the Constitutional Army Navy, sat at the long table.
In the second row of seats behind the two, sat a group of senior officers of the Constitutional Army, looking down on the nobles opposite.
Three nobles came from East Elba, Duke Stuart of the Unicorn and Duke Parv of the Golden Anchor, and a royal prince.
At the succession ceremony of King Winn IX of the Small Kingdom, the Small Kingdom's royal book named Parv Legge as the Duke of the Golden Anchor.
King Winn is the nephew of King Carloman XVI.
East Elba is short of capable people. Almost all the nobles of the previous generation died at the mouth of the Vulture Mountains. Many of the new nobles are young people who have hastily inherited the title, just like the little king.
The two rows of seats behind the two dukes are filled with young nobles.
Both sides are waiting for the Furnace, who is sitting in the main seat, to speak first.
The trend of this peace talk depends entirely on the Furnace. It does not depend on the attitude of the Furnace, but on the strength of the Furnace.
Only a peace agreement that is recognized by the Furnace can be implemented, because the Furnace has the strength to tear up any agreement.
Rudolf first glanced at Duke Pallu, who stood up.
As Duke Pallu stood up, the Royal Prince also stood up.
The prince stepped forward and spoke first:
"King Weng IX of East Elba asked me to express his apology to Mr. Furnace.
Mr. Furnace was once a friend of the royal family of East Elba, but the former king was deceived by the werewolves and betrayed this friendship.
Dong Elba has captured the messenger of the Werewolf Ancestor Mountain and sent him to Mr. Furnace. Please deal with him as you wish.
In the past, Mr. Furnace and the Royal Navy fought against the Evil God Navy on the Salagu Sea. I hope Mr. Furnace can accept the apology of His Majesty Weng IX."
Weng IX is the nephew of Carloman XVI, not his biological son.
If Rudolf had not killed Crown Prince Thorsten and King Carloman XVI, it would not be the turn of the 15-year-old King Winchester IX to inherit the throne.
Rudolf took the handwritten letter from the prince and read the contents of the letter.
How could a 15-year-old child who had just ascended the throne know how to be submissive? It was just that several nobles in East Elba felt that they had to bow their heads because of the situation.
Rudolf said:
"Thank you for the letter from His Majesty Winchester IX. I hope we can continue to fight side by side and jointly deal with the evil cult."
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and retreated.
Before the negotiation began, a staff officer brought in a piece of intelligence.
The intelligence was placed in front of Rodolfo first. Rodolfo looked at the intelligence and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Others were a little uneasy, wondering what information made the furnace so serious.
After handing the intelligence to Joel, Rodolfo waited for a few people to pass on the intelligence. Even the two nobles opposite saw the intelligence.
"The Pope of the Evil God Cult has left the South Continent and is about to enter the Eagle's Mouth Peninsula. Following the Pope, all the main forces of various churches are coming."
After hearing the news, Joel and Raimendi's originally relaxed mood instantly became heavy.
The two dukes were also in a bad mood. They didn't know if there would be any variables in the negotiations.
Rudolf said:
"The civil war has been going on for so long, and there is no need to continue. The restoration of the nobles has failed, and the unification of the alchemists has also failed. If there had been no civil war, if Elba was still a unified kingdom, the situation would not be as bad as it is now, and you could focus on dealing with the wolf tide and the evil god cult. With the original national strength of Elba, the 8th-level alchemy air-blast bombs were twice as much, and the evil god cult would not have had the opportunity to build a temple. Of course, it's too late to say anything now.
I won't consult you two, I will set the general framework of the peace agreement, you can add your opinions. "
After seeing the alchemists and nobles nod, Rudolf continued:
"Nobles withdraw from the Vulture Mountains, there are many mines in the Vulture Mountains, return the Vulture Mountains to the alchemists.
The Port of Kordor will be jointly managed by the alchemists and nobles. It will become a trading port for materials. Both sides will establish trade channels. Exchange what they have.
Eastern Elba helps maintain the trade route and ensures that the supplies and weapons of the Contal Union can be smoothly delivered to the territory of Western Elba.
The two sides ceased fighting, and within five years, the alchemists and noble knights would no longer fight.
Western Elba focused on dealing with the wolf tide and the evil god cult, and the noble knights rested and recuperated.
How about you sign a truce agreement? "
The alchemists and nobles began to whisper to each other, and Rudolf did not listen carefully to what they were discussing, but was lost in thought as he looked at the intelligence.
The six popes of the evil god cult have all entered the Eagle's Mouth Peninsula. When they have accumulated a certain amount of power, the iron wall of the north of the Eagle's Mouth Peninsula will be opened, and countless priests will come out from behind the iron wall to expand the diocese.
Although he now has a strength beyond level 8, he still looks inadequate in front of the level 9 pope holding a divine weapon.
I don't know when it started, the conference room fell into silence, the alchemists and nobles finished their discussions and waited for the furnace to end their thinking.
Rudolf's thoughts drifted back from the Eagle's Beak Peninsula, and he asked: "What have you two considered?"
Joel spoke first: "Mr. Consultant, we agree to this peace agreement."
Unicorn Duke Stuart then said: "Mr. Furnace, we also agree to this peace agreement."
"Okay, then the Elba Civil War that lasted for more than three years is finally over."
Rudolf did not mention the merger of the two countries. It is unrealistic to say this now. The hatred has spread. It is impossible for both sides to return to the pre-war state. It is perfect to be able to cease fire.
The secretary quickly drafted the agreement, and both sides signed the peace agreement under the witness of Rudolf.
After the peace agreement was signed, Rudolf also accepted the canonization of the East Elba royal family.
The East Elba royal family thanked the smelter for bringing them peace and canonized the smelter as the royal advisor of the East Elba royal family.
The East Elba royal family now has no level 8 apostles. If the parish of the evil god cult expands, the person who is willing to provide protection for East Elba is actually the smelter who caused their defeat.
The next day, the headlines in the newspapers made the East and West Elba people fall into a frenzy.
People waved newspapers and celebrated the truce.
In the photo of the newspaper, three people sat at a long table.
Admiral Joel of West Elba and Stuart, the Duke of the Unicorn of East Elba, both bowed their heads and signed.
There was another person sitting between them.
This person now had two identities, a special adviser to the House of Lords of West Elba and a royal adviser to the royal family of East Elba.
For ordinary people, it was difficult for them to understand why one person could become an adviser to two hostile kingdoms, but this did not affect the people's gratitude to this person.
Thank God, the terrible war was finally over.
