Chapter 147 The End of the War
On November 1st, when the chill of early winter descended on most of the Sainz continent, a piece of news spread throughout the entire continent at the same time.
After half a month of negotiations, the Candela Empire, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Rulson Kingdom finally signed an armistice agreement.
After the news came out, not many people were surprised.
Since the combined forces of the Candela Empire, the Marot Empire and the two empires were defeated by the Luxin coalition forces on the Sierra Plain half a month ago, this result has been doomed.
Or it can be said that this result is actually the best result for the Candela Empire.
Because if the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce does not intend to cease the war, but continues to jointly launch an attack on the Candela Empire with the Rulson Kingdom, then the Candela Empire will definitely have no ability to stop it.
If the Luerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce were more ruthless, it was very possible that the entire Candela Empire would be torn apart, or even perished.
No one believed that the Luerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had the ability to completely occupy the Candela Empire, but no one doubted that they had this ability.
So when the news that the two sides signed the armistice agreement came out, the first feeling of most people was to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since the two sides clashed at the beginning of last year, then triggered a war, and signed an armistice agreement near the end of this year. Although the entire war lasted only about a year and a half, it has affected countless countries and most of the people on the continent of Sainz .
Affected by the war, the lives of people in most countries on the Sainz continent have been severely affected.
The most obvious example is that because of the war, the foreign trade of several countries belonging to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp in the southwest corner of the mainland was severely frustrated.
Although this has the greatest impact on these few countries, it also has a huge impact on the countries with which they trade.
For example, because these countries have long popularized the farmland magic mechanical farming mode, coupled with the widespread use of elf specialty fertilizers, the grain production has become extremely high, so they will export a large amount of grain, and the price is still low.
Many countries are very dependent on the grain exported from these countries to them. As a result, due to the impact of the war in the past two years, the grain exports of these countries have also been affected. It even caused famine in several countries.
Now that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire have finally signed an armistice agreement, the merchants who have long been unable to hold back have reorganized their trade routes in the shortest possible time, and the continuous supply of food and supplies has been sent to the transportation in an instant. The famine in these countries can be alleviated.
Of course, these are only a small part of the impact after the two sides signed the armistice agreement. What people really care about is what specific conditions the two sides have reached in this armistice agreement.
It stands to reason that the Kingdom of Luerson and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce clearly won a complete victory, forcing the Candela Empire to sign an armistice agreement. Then this armistice agreement must be extremely beneficial to the Kingdom of Luerson and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
However, considering that the Candela Empire is an old empire that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and has a profound foundation, even if the Luerxun Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce have gained an advantage on the battlefield by virtue of military magic machines, it will be difficult to force the Candela Empire to sign such a contract. Excessive agreement is right.
So people are very curious about the content of the agreement.
That's all for the Rulson Kingdom. After all, the war on the Sainz continent did not happen once or twice, and the armistice agreement signed between the two countries is basically the same.
What people are really curious about is that a chamber of commerce like the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce was able to sign an armistice agreement with a huge empire like the Candela Empire. This is the first time in the history of the Sains Continent.
Moreover, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is just a chamber of commerce in the final analysis, unlike the Rulson Kingdom, which has many completely predictable needs. What kind of conditions should it put forward?
However, both the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and the Candela Empire kept silent about this armistice agreement, and did not reveal the specific conditions at all.
It's just that after the signing of the armistice agreement, the Luxin coalition forces quickly withdrew from the territory of the Candela Empire. It is speculated that the terms agreed by the Candela Empire should satisfy both the Luerson Kingdom and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, otherwise they would not have withdrawn so simply. .
However... For the Candela Empire, the signing of the armistice agreement is only the beginning.
Because of the successive victories of the Lu-Xin Allied Forces, even without the influence of the Lu-Xin Allied Forces, the current Candela Empire would have fallen into chaos long ago.
Among other things, just the dozen or so provinces that declared independence are enough to make the royal family of the Candela Empire utterly devastated.
Although the Lu-Xin Allied Forces retreated, they wanted to re-stabilize the chaotic situation within the Candela Empire. But it is not so easy.
Most people feel that even if the Maro Empire does not stab the Candela Empire in the back at this time, the Candela Empire itself will have to spend a lot of effort to settle the chaotic situation in the country.
On November 9th, the Maro Empire, the Kingdom of Lampari, and the Duchy of Drake were simultaneously announced to the outside world. The two sides signed an armistice agreement.
This means that after the Candela Empire was forced to sign an armistice agreement, the Maro Empire, another pillar of the two imperial camps, was also forced to announce the end of the war.
Although it is slightly different from the Candela Empire, which was forced to sign an armistice agreement after the disastrous defeat, everyone can see that the Maro Empire has obviously paid a huge price.
After all, in the battle on the Sierra Plain, the Maro Empire also sent a large number of reinforcements to fight against the Lu-Xin coalition forces with the Candela Empire. But together they suffered a fiasco.
Obviously, the Maro Empire also realized through this battle that they cannot fight against these armies that can get the support of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's military magic machinery, so instead of being completely defeated like the Candela Empire, and even only one step away from breaking through the capital, what better way to fight? It is better to recognize the situation in advance and choose to pay a sufficient price to stop the war earlier.
As for the specific content of the armistice agreement, neither the Maro Empire, the Kingdom of Lampari, nor the Duchy of Drake has announced it.
However, some clues can still be seen from some of the subsequent processing measures.
The most obvious example is that the government-in-exile of the Frankish Kingdom, which had been housed by the Maro Empire, announced its dissolution, and the Frankish Kingdom officially declared its demise.
At the same time, the emperor of the Sark Kingdom, who had been carrying out various activities with the support of the Maro Empire, also disappeared at the same time and disappeared without a trace.
This means that the Sark Kingdom has since disappeared from history.
On the other hand, the Kingdom of Lampari and the Principality of Draco divided up all the territories originally belonging to the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Frank according to the agreement signed by the two parties.
Of course, the Kingdom of Lampari occupies the vast majority, that is, almost the entire Kingdom of Sark and more than half of the Kingdom of Franks. A small half of the territory of the Frankish Kingdom that had been settled before.
As a result, the territory of the Kingdom of Lampari more than doubled in size, and it jumped from an ordinary kingdom in the southwestern corner of the mainland to a superpower on the entire continent second only to the two empires.
The territorial expansion of the Duchy of Drake is even more exaggerated. It has directly changed from a small duchy of only tens of thousands of square kilometers to a large country with a total area of more than 200,000 square kilometers.
Of course, a country with such a large area can no longer be regarded as a small principality.
On November 17th, on the annual founding celebration day of the Principality of Drake, Grand Duchess Caroline officially announced her ascension to the throne and became the first king of Drake.
From this day on, the Duchy of Drake became the Kingdom of Drake.
On the other hand, the Lampari Kingdom did not have such an obvious symbolic event. It just tried its best to absorb a large number of newly acquired territories, and fully encouraged the merchants of the Lampari Kingdom to enter the new territory for investment, construction and development.
These things have been done by the Lampari Kingdom before, but they have been subject to various restrictions because they are in different countries.
Now that the Kingdom of Sark and the Kingdom of Frank no longer exist, the factors that hindered it disappeared, and the actions of the Kingdom of Lampari naturally accelerated.
On November 23, the Principality of Wales, with the help of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's guards, broke through the Dro City, the king's city of the Dro clan. King Wakeli died in the battle guarding the palace, and the Dro city fell. The Dro Kingdom then declared its demise.
On the same day, the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom, which had been standing still, suddenly launched a full-scale counterattack.
The Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom army, supported by a large number of military magic machines from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, won thirteen battles in less than half a month and repelled all the besieging enemy troops.
Subsequently, the countries in the southeast of the Sainz Continent responded to the call of the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and signed the "Treaty of Commerce and Cooperation among the Southeast Countries of the Sainz Continent", referred to as the "Southeast Treaty".
According to the content of the "Southeastern Treaty", the thirteen chambers of commerce under the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom will all have complete trading rights in the southeastern countries.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the strong commercial capabilities of the thirteen chambers of commerce of Nozdormu United Kingdom, and the powerful magic industry industrial system they obtained after cooperating with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, once they obtain complete trade rights, the entire The southeastern corner of the mainland is bound to become the world of these thirteen chambers of commerce.
However... the situation is stronger than people, no matter how unwilling the southeastern countries are to sign this treaty, there is nothing they can do about it.
On November 29th, the Magic Kingdom of Mana also announced that it had signed an armistice agreement with the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
So far, the two empire camps and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce camp have lasted for a year and a half, and the war that has almost affected the entire Sainz continent has truly come to an end.
In the history of Sainz Continent, it took only one and a half years for a war with such a wide scope to be declared over, which is really unique.
There was once a time in history when the two empires went to war in an all-out way, but it lasted for twenty-three years before it came to an end.
Of course, everyone understands that the reason why it ended so quickly is entirely because the military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is too powerful, so that there is no suspense at all on the frontal battlefield.
So... the other countries participating in the war have already announced their results, so what is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce doing? (~^~)
