Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2007 The parties confront each other before arriving at the meeting
Year 838 of the Netherian calendar, the year of the rum in the Elven world, the last day of the Moon of Fallen Leaves.

Representatives from all parties in the Northland Alliance gathered at Adofil Fortress, and finally arrived at the negotiation venue in Hengchun Square, the public area of ​​the Floating City, on a temporary flying platform under the leadership of Brendes.

Xia Duo came forward to greet him personally, and said: "Thank you for coming here, I hope this meeting can bring the Northern Alliance to real order and prosperity!"

"Well said! Here, on behalf of the Northland Alliance, I would like to thank Lord Xia Duo for his charitable deed to stop the war. I also hope that the representatives of various countries will fully respect the alliance charter in the upcoming talks, and focus on the future development of the Northland."

Being able to express support for Shaduo without hesitation, there is no doubt that among the representatives present, only the representative of Netheril was present, and it was Badigal himself who came to participate in the talks on behalf of Netheril.

Xia Duo gave Badigal a thankful look. He knew that he had many opinions to stop the war, and it was easy to remedy it afterwards, but inviting representatives from various countries to the Floating Void City for talks was somewhat beyond his authority.

The reason why countries are willing to exclude representatives from coming is that apart from the need for negotiation, most of them still want to explore the bottom of the floating city. For such new things that suddenly appear, they must have a general understanding and judgment.

Of course, those who have this kind of thinking do not rule out the Seven Towers.

The relationship between Xia Duo and the Seven Towers is relatively complicated. On the one hand, both parties are considered collaborators and share many common interests. On the other hand, the Seven Towers are the real rulers of Netheril, so it is inevitable that there will be differences in Xia Duo. the opinion of.

……

After Badigal characterized Xia Duo's previous behavior, Prince Pasteur, the representative of Danzo, also stood up for the first time and expressed his attitude:

"The war caused too much pain. Danzo, who had just experienced the drow war not long ago, knew it best. No matter what kind of contradictions and conflicts there are, war is the last choice!"

Although Dan Zuo has good relations with all the countries on the surface, his words still made Ye Erlan's representative a little annoyed, especially the person who came to negotiate on behalf of Ye Erlan this time was Adariel, the commander who presided over the war before.

He doesn't seem to realize the seriousness of the problem. The essence of this meeting is that the big guys are targeting Ye Erlan together, not to mention that on the way to negotiate with all the representatives, the scandal of the demon family broke out in Ye Erlan.

Think about it, what was the reason Ye Erlan launched the war in the first place - Sluvande was infiltrated by demons, so what about now?What kind of treatment should Ye Erlan, who was also infiltrated by the demons, get!

The representative of Yi Erlan, who had never shown up before, was the Tai Lun mage, who came to see the representative of Ye Erlan this time, and almost vehemently reprimanded:

"In order not to be disturbed when launching a war, Ye Erlan did not hesitate to cause troubles in neighboring countries. If his intentions are so sinister, I am afraid that you are the ones who are really infiltrated by the demons!"

As soon as the words came out, Adari's face changed drastically. He knew that Tai Lun was talking about the incident of Yeerlan triggering the orc wave in the north of Ilfaran. He had not participated in this matter, but he had heard of it.

But Ilfaran is not a small country in a corner, but a big country with far-reaching influence within the Northern Alliance!
Once the accusation of the other party is recognized by other countries, even if Yeerlan is also a big country, it will definitely be hurt by it.

So, Adariel quickly retorted:

"Master Tai Lun, please be careful. Don't talk about things without evidence. Of course, we are responsible for the Lingfeng family, but this just shows how terrible the demons are, and they hide so deeply.

"Even Yeerlan has a demon family, so Sluvand, as the former demon country, is probably even worse inside!"

The matter of the Lingfeng family could no longer be denied. Adariel simply hugged Sruvande tightly. His logic was - I have demon descendants, but you have more demon descendants. In general, you are worse and you need to be punished more. sanctions.

Xia Duo has not participated in several meetings of the Northern Alliance, but today's scene made him firmer in his belief that "elves are another kind of human beings". Humans have a lot of emotions and desires.

After Adariel finished speaking, the representative of Shruvande, who had been silent before, immediately expressed his objection. They had two representatives this time, one was General Cruz whom Xiaduo had met before, and the other was An old man with gray hair.

According to Brundes' introduction, the other party is also one of the leaders of the [Eclex Contract] organization, Sepetia, a high-level mage who has come to the end of his life, and forcibly resides in the world only by his will.

This is probably also an important reason why [Eclex Contract] has not been wiped out by Yeerlan before. Sepetia can go all out without hesitation, but Yeerlan does not necessarily have such determination.

The one who spoke this time was the "walking living bomb" Sepetiya, and he shocked the representatives of all parties, including Xia Duo:

"Sruvand has cleared the infiltration of demons within the upper echelon. I know that you may not believe it, so in order to gain the trust of all countries and for the follow-up stability, we hope that the countries of the Northern Alliance will send personnel to Sri Lanka permanently. Ruwende, check the infiltration of demons inside Sruwende in real time."

Obviously, no matter what, Yeerlan can't be as thorough and decisive as Sluvande. Their internal efforts to eliminate the demons may be stronger than the efforts of other countries to check Sluvande, but it is absolutely impossible to hand it over to other countries. manage.

This is where the sovereignty and dignity of a country lies. Sluwende can ignore it or say he can't care about it, but Yeerlan can't give up. Once he gives up, the huge country may disintegrate immediately.

At this time, Adariel realized the seriousness of the problem. He thought that King Helien asked him to negotiate on behalf of Yerlan to give him a chance to make up for his mistakes on the battlefield. Take it as a blame!
For a moment, Adariel felt that the hundreds of years of friendship between him and Mian Wang were wasted, but after thinking about it, it might be a helpless move for Mian Wang to do so.

Someone needs to be responsible for the defeat in the war. The Bem Achero Philosophical Society may be able to do so, but their weight is still not heavy enough. Even if it is enough, the opponents of the Crown King will still point the finger at themselves.

At present, domestic reforms have reached a critical moment of "either-or". Adariel understands the pursuit of King Herion. If he can use his sacrifice in exchange for the opposition's compromise, then he thinks it is worth it .

This sacrifice did not really require him to take his life, it was just a political death, and he would be turned behind the scenes in the future, which was not unacceptable to Adariel.

Despite the fact that he has a high position and authority, he doesn't have much power and influence. Those are just passively obtained by her in the process of following Mian Wang all the way, that's all.

As for the present, negotiations, there are always opportunities and bargaining chips!
