Chapter 749 Negotiation
Chapter 749 Negotiation
The negotiations began, and Hudson, as a core figure in the alliance, naturally could not be absent.
When he appeared with the dragon bear covered in dust, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.
It was beyond everyone's expectation that he could come back alive after being besieged by three powerful elves and killing the enemies.
Although he looked a little disheveled, with few intact pieces of cloth on his clothes and blood all over his body, he looked like a refugee.
But being able to survive is a miracle in itself.
Being in a mess is nothing. Among the many powerful Saint Realm warriors who participated in the war, few are still intact.
At this moment, the strength of the strongest man in the continent was fully demonstrated, and after this battle, no one would doubt his ability anymore.
In fact, Hudson just looked embarrassed, and his injuries were not serious.
Not to mention the dragon and the bear, they both have thick skin and the wounds on their bodies are just scratches.
If Hudson dared to come out and participate in the negotiations, it meant that he could be sure that even if the subsequent negotiations broke down and the Warcraft clan was dragged into the war, he would be able to leave alive.
The strong ones in the human camp are fine. Although everyone is very afraid of Hudson, he is still one of them after all.
With one more top expert in charge, we will be able to have a greater say in the subsequent negotiations.
The situation of the anti-human alliance was completely different. Everywhere one looked, there was a gloomy look, especially the strong men of the elves, who looked the ugliest.
"How are you still alive?"
Delis couldn't help but question.
As the elf who had the most dealings with Hudson, she was also the most wary of him. This encirclement and killing plan was strongly advocated by her.
She never expected that three Saint Level 3 strong men paid the price of their lives but still failed to kill Hudson. This result was really unacceptable to her.
Unfortunately, the reality is right in front of her, and whether she is willing to accept it or not, she cannot change the outcome.
If we miss this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to get rid of Hudson in the future.
"Is this weird?"
Hudson's rhetorical question made many powerful aliens depressed, but they had to accept the fact.
As we all know, the second in the continent can only be ranked second in strength, but the strength of the first in the continent has no upper limit.
It can be slightly better than the person behind, or it can be much better. Judging from the record, Hudson is undoubtedly the latter.
"Humph!"
After a cold shout to express her dissatisfaction, Delis simply kept silent. Continuing to dwell on this issue would only bring humiliation upon herself.
Up to now, both sides have suffered heavy losses. The number of human Saint Domain warriors who died is greater, while the quality of alien Saint Domain warriors who died is higher.
From the perspective of the war itself, it was a lose-lose war. If we consider the overall situation, the human race has actually achieved a strategic victory.
If the war continues, the victory will continue to expand, but the number of casualties will also increase.
Negotiations at this time are not in the interests of the race, but they are in the interests of all the participants. If they continue to fight, no one can guarantee that they can leave alive.
When entering the negotiation stage, neither side had any intention of speaking, and just stared at each other quietly.
Seeing this scene, the Warcraft who came out to mediate couldn't help it, and jumped out first to break the silence at the scene.
"Being able to live on the same continent is a kind of fate in itself. The war has been going on for so long and it has hurt all parties.
I think we should sign a peace agreement, stop fighting directly within the current established territory, and not attack each other for 500 years.
For the sake of peace on the continent, we will be the ones to draw up the contract!"
As soon as King Tianqing finished speaking, the powerful human beings from the Principality of Moshi and the three countries in the Central Continent immediately glared at him.
If this situation ends, they will be the biggest losers in the war. Especially the three countries in the Central Continent, more than two-thirds of their territory is controlled by foreign races.
The Principality of Moshi also lost a quarter of its territory, but they also recovered part of it from the Ancient Relics Alliance. From the perspective of territorial area alone, the loss was not large.
Equally unwilling to accept this, the most valuable lands of the Orc Empire and the Ancient Relics Alliance fell into the hands of the enemy, leaving them with only some remote and poor lands.
“No, that’s so unfair!
Since we want to cease fire, we must restore the pre-war territory. This was a wrong war to begin with, and we cannot end it the wrong way..."
As soon as the orc warrior finished speaking, the strong men from the Holy Land of the Alpha Kingdom became angry. A bunch of stray dogs dared to be so arrogant, which was clearly a provocation.
Feeling the gazes of his companions, Hudson immediately stepped forward and said, “There is no right or wrong in continental wars.
To end the war, all parties must show sincerity.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the negotiations, I suggest that the three parties each elect a few representatives to participate, and not let any cats and dogs sneak in to cause trouble! "
This kind of contempt made the surviving orc warriors feel insulted, and some of the hot-tempered ones had already begun to curse.
However, this is meaningless. The remaining five orc sanctuary masters are all first-level sanctuary masters, and their voice in the anti-human alliance is very limited.
If the Warcraft tribe is willing to give full support, then we can still fight for it. The problem is that the suggestion they put forward is to cease fire within the existing territory.
"Then, as Marshal Hudson said, we will suspend the selection of representatives for an hour and then resume the negotiations."
The forest elf queen agreed immediately.
The five hundred years of truce was crucial for the elves. With such a long buffer, it was enough for them to complete the plan to split the continent.
Even if the plan fails, with such an extra period of time to recuperate, the strength of the elves will be qualitatively improved.
If she hadn't considered the reactions of her allies, she would have been ready to agree without hesitation when King Tianqing gave the suggestion.
Also supporting the ceasefire are the powerful men of the Alpha Kingdom. According to the current established territorial division, the Alpha Kingdom will be the biggest winner.
After digesting the fruits of war, it is only a matter of time before it becomes the most powerful country on the continent, and far surpasses the second most powerful country on the continent.
But everyone knows that it is impossible to eat such a big cake alone.
There are many human countries participating in the war, and only the Alpha Kingdom has completed the expansion of territory, so it definitely needs to share the benefits with everyone.
Otherwise, all countries will give up and the Alpha Kingdom alone will not be able to withstand the counterattack of the alien alliance.
"The Hessian Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the war, and we must be compensated!"
"In order to hold back the elf army, Dante's Kingdom has suffered heavy losses. We need to pay corresponding compensation!"
……
When the selection of representatives began, the internal distribution of interests was brought up before the competition for seats took place.
Except for the Alpha Kingdom, representatives from all countries put forward demands for compensation of interests.
"Everyone, I think we can discuss these details later. We can follow the tradition of the Human Alliance and distribute the benefits directly according to contribution.
The most urgent task is to find a way to get the alien alliance to make more concessions so that the alliance will have enough benefits to distribute. "
Hudson's tactic of procrastination directly ended the dispute.
Up to now in the continental war, the human race has indeed won a strategic victory, but the actual benefits are very limited.
The Alpha Kingdom seized a large area of territory from the orcs, but the human race lost a large amount of land in the Central Continent.
According to the tradition of the alliance, compensation for the losses of the warring countries is given priority, and then secondary distribution of benefits is carried out. The countries of the southern continent are basically working in vain.
Unless some territory is recovered during the negotiations, the so-called division of the cake will only be a symbolic addition of some cream.
“Not only do we need the alien alliance to make concessions, but a truce of five hundred years is too long. We must find a way to shorten it.
If we can’t reach an agreement, we should prioritize shortening the ceasefire time and not leave the enemy any chance to counterattack! "
After Magnus finished speaking, he instantly gained the support of the sanctuaries of various countries.
Just now everyone's attention was focused on the distribution of benefits, and they almost forgot the real reason for launching the continental war.
Compared with the distribution of benefits, the most important thing is to destroy all races and dominate the continent.
It can be said that the intervention of the Warcraft clan destroyed the human race’s thousand-year plan.
After a brief discussion, several major powers quickly reached a consensus. There was no election process, and the five strongest people who survived directly became negotiating representatives.
If you are not convinced, you can only hold it in. In an era where the strong are supreme, whoever is stronger has more say.
The human race representative was elected, and the alien race representative also stepped forward. On the contrary, the Warcraft side was unable to elect a representative.
The intensity of the argument was beyond everyone's expectations. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would have fought among themselves.
The appearance of this scene directly cast a shadow on the negotiations. It can be seen that this group of monsters in front of them has no clear organization, or there is a lack of restraint between the members of the organization.
Rather than saying that they came as a group to mediate the war, it would be more accurate to say that they came to watch the fun. The initiation of mediation was most likely a spur-of-the-moment decision.
The strength just now was just a disguise. The Warcraft clan is still the familiar Warcraft clan, just a pile of loose sand.
Just because of the representative election, many sanctuary monsters turned against the Anti-Human Alliance, which made them very disappointed.
……
"It seems that our mediators will not be able to stop arguing in a short time. Your Majesty, let's negotiate the terms directly!
The interests of the human race are very simple: the Central Continent will be restored to the pre-war dividing line, and the Northern Continent will maintain its current status quo.
The ceasefire period between the two sides is reduced to 30 years. During this period, neither side shall provoke war! "
After Hudson finished speaking, the Anti-Human Alliance was instantly furious. Such a double standard request simply did not take them seriously.
"Marshal Hudson, do you think that the human race has won a great victory and can slaughter the continent at will?"
The night elf queen asked angrily.
She had been keeping an eye on Hudson since the outbreak of the war. It wasn't because of any personal grudges between the two sides, it was purely because of the sheltering of the dark elves.
The existence of the dark elves is a shame to the elves, and even more of a shame to the night elves.
Since the appearance of this closely related race, the reputation of the night elves on the continent has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Even within the elves themselves, there have been many criticisms.
Just look at the battlefield and you will know that of the six dark elf sanctuaries brought by Hudson, only one is left who has suffered severe damage.
If the Warcraft tribe had intervened later, the dark elves would have been wiped out. Such a high death rate was clearly a target.
"Since you have seen it, please accept the facts.
You can rest assured that the human race is peace-loving. As long as everyone is willing to work with us to build a harmonious continent, there will be no unpleasantness.
If you feel you are at a disadvantage, we can also let the war return to the secular world and let the people below deal with the conflicts.
There are disputes over the details, we can discuss them one by one. It is not easy to cultivate to the current level, there is no need to hold back anger. "
Hudson's answer made the Night Elf Queen so angry that she vomited blood.
It is true that the human race has an advantage, but it is not an absolute advantage. If they continue to fight to the end, it is estimated that no more than one-fifth of the human race sanctuary present will be able to return alive.
This tragic victory was obviously not what everyone wanted. If they were not bound by the contract, I guess there would have been deserters long ago.
The slight advantage completely changed in Hudson's mouth, as if he had already defeated the alien alliance.
“Marshal Hudson, everyone can talk big, there is no need to waste time here.
Our interests are very simple. As long as you can retreat to the pre-war territory, we can give up the spoils of war in the Central Continent.
If your country is unwilling, then we can just use the existing territory as the dividing line. After all, we are all changing homes, and I think the Kingdom of Hessen, the Kingdom of Dante, and the Kingdom of South Shore will understand you."
The most advanced operations are often the most simple and unpretentious. Although the Forest Elf Queen's method of sowing discord is not up to standard, it is effective.
From the expectant gazes of the powerful men from the three sacred realms of the Central Continent, Hudson read that the Five-Nation Alliance was about to collapse.
After finally destroying the Orc Empire, it is impossible for the Kingdom to spit out the meat it has eaten for the benefit of its allies.
Even if Hudson agreed, he would not be able to carry it out later. The domestic opposition was enough to overwhelm all the promises.
"Both options are fine, but there's no need to sign an armistice agreement. We can just fight another battle later. Anyway, you elves have more soldiers and can afford the losses!"
Hudson said nonchalantly.
Compared to previous continental wars, the elves suffered heavy losses this time. According to the aggregated data, no less than 70,000 elf soldiers died in the war, and many more were lost for various reasons.
Adding the two together, it means that the elves paid the price of 150,000 troops. This number would not cause any ripples in the Alpha Kingdom.
For the elves, it would be a devastating loss.
If they had no way out, they would probably consider fighting a war with the Alpha Kingdom, but that is impossible now.
There is absolutely no need to fight a war with hundreds of thousands of casualties just for land that is about to be abandoned.
