Last Totem Novel - Chapter 644
Chapter 644 Negotiation
This morning, after 187 years of silence, the Glorious Sacred Flame was finally reignited in a temporary temple on a hill a few kilometers south of Tieshan Town in the Northern Wilderness Continent.
Seven days later, under the support of the remaining 27 great families, the Three Martial Saints, the Holy Flame Guardian, and the War Ge Shaman, Hui Yan Northess inherited the legacy of the previous great prophet, Afterglow Lorenfeld, and became the 396th great prophet.
When the glorious faith returned to the world stage, the elders of the Temple felt new sorrow.
Send who to negotiate?
The other party had already made it clear that they would send Warsong Shaman and Tie Zha Northess to the Star Temple in Elk City to negotiate under the notarization of Notre Dame.
As the defeated side, face was a problem, and being difficult was another problem. In the eyes of the elders, this War Song Shaman was simply shameless to the point of being outrageous. He relied on deceiving the princess who had yet to enter the world, stealing the lightning hammer, confusing the innocent and kind goddess of happiness, and even went to the Purple-Eyed Demon Clan to act pitiful and prepare to warm the bed for the queen of the swarm of insects …
In short, he was a shameful, hateful, and devoid of any sense of honor. They have always lacked experience with hooligans.
“Yoho ~”
“You didn’t notify me of the meeting.”
Just as they were feeling anxious, a voice that they loved and hated came from outside. Then, his eyes lit up, and a silver-armored figure appeared in front of them.
In an instant, everyone cheered.
At 10:00 a.m. Silver City time, Dr3718-1-23, the golden battleship representing the Temple and the Iron Blood White Wolf representing the Temple of Glory gathered above Elk City.
[Long time no see, Alice Natasha, my dear sister]
[Similarly, Moses Natasha, my dear brother]
The main computers of both sides sent out radio waves to greet each other.
Half an hour ago, Tie Zha had already arrived at the Divine Hall of Starlight. He sat at the spacious conference table and looked at the empty hall. The table was as clean as a mirror, and he fell into deep thought.
The reigniting of the sacred flame was only the beginning of everything. Glorious faith still had a long way to go.
“Roll …”
As he thought about it, the thick double doors slowly opened to both sides. Amidst the shining silver light, a slender figure paced over.
Her bright eyes and zirconium teeth were like starlight, her silver hair was like water, dazzling like a shuttle, her skin was like congealing grease, and her lips were like cherry blossoms.
Star eyes flowed, looking forward to Gu Sheng Hui, waist/buttocks lightly swinging, jade ripples, clever smile, peerless.
Apart from the Temple Princess, who else?
‘”Ah ~ You’re so early ~” She put her hand on her waist and tilted her head.
“You’re late.” Tie Zha’s gaze landed on the floor clock at five past ten and said indifferently.
“Haven’t you heard that being late is a woman’s nature?” You Ge says naturally, “Girls, they always need some time to dress up.”
“Friend, this is a negotiation that will determine the future of the world.” Tie Zha reminded with a stern face.
“Oh, that’s right ~” You Ge suddenly realized. He raised his head and thought for a moment. Then, his gaze narrowed as he stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Warsong Shaman, you must immediately release Matthew the Chosen One and withdraw from the rebel forces in Windsand Castle, Tiefu Island, and the southern cemetery towns, as well as the southern city you are occupying.
Tie Zha was stunned. He didn’t expect that You Ge would turn his face over faster than turning his book. His expression immediately turned cold and he refused, “Impossible!”
“Oh?” You Ge pretends to be puzzled, then raises his chin and reminds, “Don’t forget, how did you win this war?”
Tie Zha did not answer, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and he put on a “so what” attitude.
Actually, he was very clear in his heart that the reason why he was able to sit here now was the result of the combined effects of many factors.
The Dawn expeditionary army responded passively, the Temple Crusaders were restricted in their actions, the nobles watched from afar, the nobles in their territories watched from afar, the commercial forces were ambiguous, and the Golden Duke was surprised. As for the demons and bee ants, they took advantage of the flames to rob and suppress the temple, wanting to use them to suppress the temple. In addition, with 50,000 troops, Great Sparrow City and South City had 800,000 troops. A series of unforeseen events had created the current situation.
Naturally, he wouldn’t be so arrogant as to think that their small army had won the war. If Matthew hadn’t been so strong that he had underestimated his enemies and hadn’t waited for the two Silver Cities to arrive, he wouldn’t have been able to predict the outcome.
It was Eva Green who made the decision to attack. She had already arrived at Tieshan Town long before the summons had been issued. Before that, she and You Ge played a bitter meat show. They had anticipated Matthew’s sudden attack and had made preparations beforehand. Now, the White Rose Temple no longer existed, only the “blind woman” of the Temple of Glory.
When Matthew’s eight hundred thousand troops arrived at the southern end of the northern plains, Eva immediately asked Tie Zha to send out a letter of battle to fight to the death.
To this end, she made a comprehensive analysis.
First of all, Matthew’s troops were assembled on an ad hoc basis. They consisted of the elite troops of Sparrow City, the Temple troops of South City, and the four ground garrisons of the northern plains. Secondly, Matthew’s personality was a little selfish, and he lacked sufficient military literacy. He could be said to know nothing about marching and fighting. However, he also thought highly of himself. He felt that he was a chosen one, and fate would definitely stand on his side. He was unwilling to hand over command.
If the commander were William Reinhart of the Violet Rose or Elvis Shelley of the Red Rose, Eva would not dare to fight.
She believed that Matthew, who was selfish and lacked military accomplishments, would arrange for the Temple troops of South City to be the vanguard, the ground garrison to be the center, and the elites of Sparrow City to be the last. To say the least, if Matthew only brought two hundred thousand elites from the clan, it would still be a little tricky. However, with the addition of 600,000 troops from South City, they immediately became incomparably bloated.
Sometimes, the outcome of a war was not decided by numbers.
The Temple troops in South City were the weakest of all the dioceses. There weren’t many true Knights Templars. They were all Knights’ retainers, and they were mainly logistical knights. The northern part of the Northern Wilderness was basically a wasteland, and there were also some low-radiation areas. To most people of the Temple, this was synonymous with a place of exile. The ground garrison in the northern plains was even more backward in armaments and chaotic in management.
Adding on the influence of the environment, their morale had already fallen to a freezing point before the war started.
Combined with the above reasons, Eva proposed this gamble. If you don’t succeed, you will succeed.
At the beginning of the battle, the Ancient Era’s War Bears had been brave and resolute as if they were returning from their kings, and they had swept through the entire battlefield as if they were facing death. In a short period of time, they had defeated three land armoured retinue divisions of the Temple. More than three hundred Battle Bears had destroyed nearly seventy percent of the warships of the Alliance Army by reversing the power furnace and self-destructing.
Then, when the glorious war song sounded and the Sacred Wolf Heavy Armored Guards joined the battlefield, their will to fight finally collapsed. It was like a flood that had burst a levee, spreading for thousands of kilometers. The ground garrison that hadn’t even had time to enter the formation collapsed, instantly destroying Sparrow City’s elite formation.
As a result, the battle that followed became a one-sided pursuit of massacre. The battle between Saint realm experts ended after Tie Zha killed one of them.
“Humph!”
You Ge looks at Tie Zha and shouts, “I really don’t know what father thinks, he actually let you go.”
Tie Zha spread out his hands and shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of “I’m also very helpless”. Indeed, Duke Gold’s attitude exceeded everyone’s expectations. Not only did he not attack, he also blocked Notting’s troops for them. If they were attacked by the north and south, the brilliant camp would be annihilated. On the eve of the final battle, he also sent people to discuss in secret, “The Golden Triangle is willing to send 200 Saint Rankers to put on the clothes of Saint Wolf Guardians and fight together.”
Iron Slag didn’t dare to agree. After all, the other party was the second largest noble in Silver City. If he stabbed him in the back, the consequences would be unimaginable. At first, Tie Zha thought that it was the result of You Ge pleading for mercy on his behalf, but he didn’t expect that this was the Golden Grand Duke’s own intention, and even You Ge was against it …
As for why, Hui Yan’s analysis showed that Youjiawen’s personality was straightforward and heroic. He was even a bit rude. When he was young, he had the nickname “Big Barbarian”. He also had some old grudges with the current Pope Augustine. He might have sympathy and favorable impressions for the Northern descendants.
From another perspective, he wanted to dilute and eliminate the hatred between the Glorious Faith and the Lombardi Family. They had lived in the Northern Wilderness for generations, and their situation was completely different from that of other clans. After nearly two hundred years of vicissitudes, the glorious faith did not change its mind. It had been strong for a long time, and it was impossible for it to disappear.
Their clan was unable to withstand the fury of this unyielding faith. Perhaps they had defeated each other yesterday, perhaps they had defeated each other today, or perhaps hundreds of years later, they had still defeated each other.
However, a thousand years later, ten thousand years later, would they still be able to win?
As long as there were people who believed in it, the fire that existed in their hearts would never be extinguished.
Since they could not be eliminated, they should unite and help each other. This was the rule that the nobles would follow for a thousand years.
Seeing Tie Zha’s arrogant appearance, You Ge gritted her teeth and asked coldly, “Do you think you guys have the ability to swallow all the benefits?”
“That belongs to us. You took it away.” Tie Zha narrowed his eyes and said unyieldingly.
“Even so, after so many years of development, it has increased hundreds of times.” You Ge argues.
“Then treat it as interest.” Tie Zha grinned. In front of the state-level forces, there was only interest, not right or wrong.
You Ge smiled and said, “You can only take 10% of the profits from Sand Wind Castle and Tiefu Island. Otherwise, you can talk to Muyu Ling Lan first. Most of the properties, nobles, and commercial forces in these two cities are occupied by them.” She walked over to Tie Zha, put her hand on his shoulder, and asked meaningfully, “How much do you think she would agree to sell?”
“That’s ours!” Tie Zha said loudly, firmly unyielding.
“Are you saying that we should continue to fight?” You Ge puts away his smile and asks coldly.
“Anytime.” Tie Zha said disapprovingly.
“Alright, don’t regret it.” After saying that, You Ge turns around and leaves, and the short skirt with golden silk edge rises in the wind.
But just as she turned around, her hand was grabbed, and a faint voice came from behind her, “Friend …”
“War is not the only way to resolve conflicts.”
Take your time. The flames of the Sacred Flame are just the beginning of the story.
However, subscriptions were too low, and could only be divided into original and later writings. The protagonist was still Tie Zha, and the story was continuous.
