There were no clouds in the sky, and not a single breeze blew across the ground.

From afar, the horizon was a little twisted, like a slightly trembling wavy line. It was an illusion created by the rising hot air on the retina.

The weather was extremely sultry. The scorching sun burned the red Gobi Desert. The sparse withered grass lowered its head without a trace of life. In the shallow sand beside the grass, there was a viper lying on the ground, curled up into a ball, spitting out a message, looking a little listless.

On the south side, at the end of the red earth, on a high ground, there was a human stronghold. The obsidian outer wall shone in the sunlight.

At this moment, in a spacious and bright office in the fortress, a mahogany-enclosed, retro-style radio was playing melodious music,

On the half-inch thick glass coffee table, there was a red wine with old yellow labels and sloppy print but beautiful and smooth lines. Beside the bottle was an exquisite high-footed glass. The wine slurry in the glass was as red as blood, sticky and translucent, and one could tell that it was a good thing at a glance.

It’s 11:00 a.m. Silver City Time, Dr3717-02-25, and 52:00 p.m. Satt Time. The commander of the Black Wolf Legion, Tie Zha Norse, had just woken up and was reading today’s newspaper.

“Six weeks later, the Crescent Alliance responded to the Sequoia and Sakata incidents, strongly condemning the relevant departments and companies. Zhao Linglong, a spokesman for the Ministry of Public Relations, said that in the region where the World Convention was implemented, one industrial company with thousands of employees and another group company with tens of thousands of employees were directly deprived of their rights without going through due process, contrary to the spirit of fairness and justice of the World Convention … ”

“The Central Continent’s Northern Territory Nobility Alliance, the Central Earth Alliance, held a press conference. Leonard, president of the Alliance, delivered a speech that lasted nearly 20 minutes. He said that the Silver City world had entered a period of war with foreign countries. All major powers and corporations should put aside their prejudices and unite with the outside world.”

At a press conference yesterday afternoon, the vice-president of Central Heavy Industries publicly acknowledged that black oil might be more suitable for a particular group and that mass production in the short term could cause social unrest. Therefore, the Board decided to postpone relevant research and development. It is reported that two weeks ago, Central Heavy Industries has ordered the dissolution of the black oil power armor research and development team, indefinitely postponed the research and development plan.

Seeing this, Tie Zha couldn’t help but feel puzzled. A few weeks ago, Central Heavy Industries had challenged the Temple Elders’ Association, so why did they give in so quickly?

Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, he put down the newspaper, drank all the red wine in his glass, stuffed the oak cork, put the remaining half bottle of wine into the wine cabinet, and went down to the restaurant on the third floor.

Not long after, he saw Zhao Wenke coming for lunch, so the two of them ate together. During the banquet, he asked about the halt in the development of black oil powered armor by Central Heavy Industries.

Zhao Wenke pondered for a moment before saying, “Actually … this matter has something to do with us.”

“Ah?” Tie Zha was surprised and puzzled.

Zhao Wenke hesitated for a moment before saying, “We split up Sequoia and Sakata. The World Council is ambiguous and has yet to express any official opinions. Not only that, they also agreed to our transfer of ownership according to the usual procedure.”

“Simply put, Central Heavy Industries sees the destruction of these two companies as a joint warning from the Temple and Notre Dame.”

“If it was just the Temple, they would still dare to play the opposite tune, because their foundation was in the parish of Notre Dame, so they could not buy the Temple’s bill. However, if their great backer was added in, then they could only lower their heads and admit their mistakes.”

“So …” said Tie Zha gloomily. “I lifted a rock and smashed myself in the foot.”

“We can’t say that” Zhao Wenke sighed. “Our current scale is too small. Whether the black oil power armor is mass-produced or not, it won’t affect us much.” “Furthermore, from a macro perspective, Notre Dame cannot tacitly allow Central Heavy Industries and the Temple Elders to go against each other for a long time. This will affect the balance between their two faiths,” he added. “Knocking on Central Heavy Industries is almost imperative, so …” He concluded, “you don’t have to take it too seriously.”

Tie Zha didn’t say anything, but as an insecticide, he naturally wished for his own species to be strengthened. Perhaps one day, the existence of the Black Oil Dynamo Armor would be of great importance and significance. However, he didn’t want to talk about this issue anymore, because it wasn’t something he and Zhao Wen could interfere with. However, he was going to see someone very soon. The other party has this ability, just to see if she is willing to help …

While Tie Zha was thinking and eating, a large golden flying machine was swimming in the clouds above the gorge sea between the western continent and the central continent. It was like an ancient baleen whale that devoured the heavens and devoured the sea. It slowly swam towards the east.

On the bridge of the Golden Battleship, Eva Green was connected to the Violet Eye Demon Grand Marshal, Hermes Steel Wheel. Not long after, a tall and sturdy Elda man wrapped in Secret Silver Heavy Armor appeared on the screen. He nodded and bowed to Eva, then heavily hammered his chest and greeted with a rough voice, “Soran is up.” His purple pupils were purplish red, his beard was white and neat, his hair was flat and short, and his image was mighty, but it did not lose its warmth.

“Hippas is up.” Eva nodded in return.

These two greetings originated from the Treaty of Soroland and Hippos signed between the humans and the demons more than 600 years ago. The demons respectfully addressed the human ancestor who helped bring peace between the two races, Soroland Zangwell, while the humans respectfully addressed the demons’ ancestor, Hippos Heart of Steel. However, due to the destruction of the glorious faith, and Zangewell was one of the glorious families of the “rain of the city.” As a result, both sides tacitly concealed the surnames of the two ancestors.

When the higher-ups of the two clans negotiated, reciting the names of the two ancestors meant that this negotiation would be based on the observance of the treaty. In the past 600 years, the war between humans and the demons had basically not exceeded the bounds of the treaty.

“Above Hippas, we will not cast 378 forbidden spells, including Doomsday Judgment, Endless Plague, Flesh and Blood Sacrifice, Spirit Destruction, and so on.” Said Hermes Steel Wheel.

“Sorolan is here. We will not use 197 taboo technologies, including nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, ultra-long-range weapons, and so on.” Eva said.

“You’re 27 hours and 3 minutes ahead of schedule, Ms. Eva.” After reading the basic treaty, Hermes reminded him that according to the agreement between the two sides, the negotiation meeting should be tomorrow.

“I’m sorry, but I think …” Eva smiled and said, “We don’t need much time to think.”

“Alright” Hermes spread out his hands and smiled. “If I’m not mistaken, you should have an important appointment tomorrow.”

“Your gaze is as sharp as ever.” Eva did not deny it.

“Oh, the Giant Spirit God is above …” Hermes said seriously, “Old Steel Wheel is really curious. What kind of person is more important than the fate of the Aurora Plane?”

“This is a secret.” Eva said with a smile.

“Alright, from your gaze, I can see the happiness of a little woman.” Hermes said. Then, with a serious expression, he said solemnly, “Then, may we begin?”

“You must withdraw from the Aurora Plane, or we will start a full-scale war.” Eva put away her smile and said without any doubt.

“You guys are too greedy.” “We discovered this plane first.” “According to the treaty between Soroland and Hippos, whichever side enters first, the other side owns 30% of the land.”

“You’ve occupied the southern side of the Unfrozen River. The area under your control has already exceeded 50%.” Eva said.

“There is only one river in the entire plane. What can we do?” Hermes said.

“Take a step back. You can only represent one of the seven great clans. You can’t control more than 4.2% of the territory.” Eva said.

“There’s no need for Havlin to care about how we divide it among ourselves.” Hermes grinned.

“If you want a war, we can give it to you, but I must remind you that you all lost the last two battles.” Eva said.

Hermes immediately blushed when he was stabbed in the pain, and his veins burst out as he shouted, “That’s all you cheating on!”

“If you are willing to withdraw from the Aurora Plane, we can compensate you accordingly.” Eva said unmoved, “For example, five percent of the profits from the entire plane …”

“Thirty percent, not a penny less.” Hermes calmed down and said.

“Then what are we talking about?” Eva asked with a cold face.

“Twenty percent. This is our bottom line. The Giant Spirit God’s people never like to bargain.” Hermes said straightforwardly.

“Impossible.” Eva said calmly.

“Havelin, I’ll crush your head …” Hermes grinned. “Even though it looks beautiful.” Then, with a slap, the communication was cut off.

The people of Elda were usually impatient, and the Violet Eye Demons were the best among them. The negotiations between the two sides were simple and rough, with just a few words coming and going. Eva had always felt that communicating with them would bring her down to the level of a primary school student fighting outside the classroom.

Basically, can it be, one sentence, can’t start a fight?

Since the negotiations had failed, the next step was war. Eva called her assistant, Shirley Christina, and issued a war mobilization order for the Aurora Plane. Actually, this motion had already been decided, and she was only implementing it.

The purpose of this negotiation is only to reaffirm the Treaty of Soroland and Hippos in a more formal than practical manner. If the Purple Eye Demons were willing to withdraw, they would have already done so. Although this level of war seemed to be very large, it was actually very low-level. The main reason was to use the mercenary corps to fight a long-term war of attrition with the small demon tribes. After all, the plane was too large, and the main purpose of both sides was to gather resources. Mutual destruction and harassment was the main theme of planar warfare.

As for the large forces on both sides, they were only deterrents. Unless it was absolutely impossible, they would not start a war. Damage to the core battle prowess would threaten the internal rule of both humans and the demons. Moreover, the two sides also have a common threat-the swarm of bees and ants, so it is impossible to fight the war too thoroughly.

Although I have asked for leave, since I have written it, I will send it.
