Episode 26: After the peace negotiations

Time goes back just a little bit.

"Sherheen!! Ki, you!! Why did you lose!!!

"... I'm sorry, Your Highness"

Sherheen bows his head deep against the Yazde Guild.

Yazdeguild turns his face bright red and yells at him.

"What happened to Coward!!

"... Lord Coward has been captured and taken prisoner by the Lemurian army"

"That incompetence!! Shame on you!!!

Yazde Guild keeps saying bad things against Sherheen or Coward who isn't here.

Sherheen shrugs so that it doesn't sound like such a yazde guild.

"... kid, stay on track"

In the first place, Coward and Sherheen were against this war.

The current situation is perpetrated by the Yazde Guild, which opened its end of the war with the Lemurian Empire on the sweet words of the Bulgarians.

As a result, the Bulgarians still betrayed the Farse kingdom to reach early harmony.

And the kingdom of Pharus alone had to deal with the Lemurian Empire, and it was defeated.

"Sherheen!! Gather your soldiers!!

"... collect it, what are you going to do?

"You will have decided to fight Emperor Lemuria!!

Sherheen sighed.

"... are you going to be able to win? The infantry has been devastated and even the defense of the King's capital is at stake. The cavalry has suffered less damage as well. Above all, Lord Coward has been captured and a decent commander is absent. If we can win this, we will prevail in the battle ahead."

Sherheen darkly recommends harmony to the Yazde guild.

"... you're telling me you can't command me?

"I can't, I never say. But if His Majesty the King is definitely in this state, he will arrive at the table of reconciliation."

"Your father has nothing to do with this!!!

Yazguild raises his voice roughly.

It is even said to be ever-winning and undefeated, and the Yazguild is a mediocre human being compared to the famous you and the famous Satan VIII.

Because of that...... he had a strong complex against his father.

Nor is the struggle for succession to the throne, what I want is not the throne.

From my father, I just want you to admit it.

And this war...

I woke him up thinking that if he won and earned territory, he would recognize it.

But...

Sherheen, who is somewhat of a 'Sassan VIII side' person, had no idea what it was like to be a mediocre yazguild.

"Bye, Your Highness. Can I ask you something? How many soldiers do you want me to gather from where first? Force the peasants to conscript? But it would be suspicious to see how many farmers can fight who have not properly completed their training either. What are you going to do with the cavalry? No way, are you going to be mobilized to the reserve? Besides... with what tactics are you going to win? At least I have no idea."

"Oh, that's..."

To Sherheen's question, the Yazguild clogs his voice.

Sherheen is overwhelmingly right on reason.

But...

This was a failure.

If the Yaz Guild is saying "still fight" after thinking they can beat Erkühl, rewind, then this persuasion was successful.

But...

Yazguild's motives were extremely, emotional things.

It's no use trying to convince an emotional human being to reason, no... he'll be oiling the fire.

"Yes!! May fly!! Anyway, I'll take him down!! Scratch the soldiers!!

"I won't!! Your Highness!!"

"Shut up!! Then you don't have to come!! I'll do it alone. I don't need a coward like you!!

Sherheen took a deep sigh, and stood up.

"Hey, what..."

Yazguild is pushed by Sherheen's curtain of rights and lags behind.

Sherheen shouted out loud.

"Oh my god!! Your Highness is disturbed!! You said you would take responsibility for your own defeat and be self-absorbed!! Stop it!!

That said, Sherheen jumped on the Yazde guild.

Yazdeguild shouts.

"Hey, do what!! Somebody get this disloyal thing!!

When Yazdeguild shouts, generals, bureaucrats, soldiers and servants gather around the two.

And...

"Ma, wait!! Stop it!! I'm not touching it!!

"If you are touching me, that's what we all say!!

"Your Highness!! Cheer up!!

Soon the Yazdeguild will be taken.

After this, Yazdeguild is to be placed under house arrest in his own room (...) as the general, including Sherheen, bureaucrats have advised.

"Ha... for one thing, will this ever make the King's Capital fall"

Sherheen sighed.

And...

I worked on getting ready for harmony.

"This is it, gentlemen. Nice to meet you, some of you, but some of you haven't been around in a while. Okay, let me give you a name. Lemurian Empire, sent in the name of His Majesty the Emperor. My name is Todoris Todrianus. I need you to know me."

With the seemingly good grin of man, Todoris gave a gentle salute to the herds of the kingdom of Pharus.

Originally, it is the muscle that Farth, the losing side, goes to Erkühl.

But this time, Erkühl dispatched Todoris the other way around.

Because Elquille respects the kingdom of Farth...

That was the apparent reason, and the real reason was the internal investigation within the Kingdom of Pharus.

"Okay, but I'm in trouble."

Todoris puts his hand on his forehead and looks around in a way that looks at him.

Every time Todris moves, his fat stomach shakes and he's medium comical.

Todoris' movements are like a clown, inviting the perimeter to be caught off guard.

... but his eyes were sharp.

"Where is His Highness the Yazguild? Or... are you His Highness the Yazguild now?

Todoris shoots through Sherheen with a sharp eye.

Sherheen answers, sweating on his forehead.

"His Highness the Yazguild was disturbed.... Even when His Highness the Yazguild is ill, we have some permission to negotiate diplomacy on His Majesty's behalf. … rest assured."

"Well, I see... did it happen in the coup too?

For a moment, the air freezes.

Todoris laughed as he hammered through its frozen air from the front.

"Wahaha!! Just kidding, I'm kidding!!

That said, Todoris slaps Pong on the stomach.

Prune, and my stomach rocked.

And...

"Well, shall we get started?"

Niyali, and Todoris grinned.

Todoris Todrianus.

He is a man who has taken on the diplomacy of the Lemurian Empire in one hand since the time of his predecessor Hadrianus.

He excels in a variety of languages and has connections all over the world.

And most importantly...

A man with a talent for his tongue, unimaginable from its appearance.

In the days of Emperor Hadrianus, it was Todoris' achievement that the Lemurian Empire had done with that degree of territorial failure.

Todoris in "Hundred Tongues".

Such a man appeared before Sherheen.

Sherheen can't stop the sweat flowing from all over her body.

Sherheen is a man in the military field in the first place, and diplomatic negotiations and so on are different fields.

I therefore have no choice but to watch Todris fight with the Foreign Secretary of the Kingdom of Fars...

But even though we're not facing each other, this temper, the air.

That's all I know about a man named Todoris, who's a pain in the ass on the battlefield called 'Diplomacy'.

"Now let's start by saying the terms from me…

One, the Kingdom of Pharus renounces the right of protection of the Kingdom of Hayastan for ever in the future.

Two, approve the protectorate nationalisation of the Kingdom of Hayastan of the Lemurian Empire.

Three, repeal the annual contribution payment from the Lemurian Empire to the Kingdom of Pharus.

Four, assign Arsinia to the Lemurian Empire.

Five, assign all territories west of the Flat River to the Lemurian Empire.

Six, in the wake of the earlier wars (the wars of the Hadrianus Empire), return the soldiers of the Lemurian Empire captured by the Kingdom of Pharus, as well as the looted national treasures, the military flags.

Seven, ten years of mutual inviolability. Every subsequent year, update unless one of them discards it.

So what do you say?

"It's lame!! Such a treaty, you can't possibly drink it!!

"Oh, no, you're strong enough.... So can we have another fight with His Majesty?

The Foreign Secretary clogs his voice.

Then Todoris had a soft grin.

"Rest assured. This is also a joke. Yeah, you guys are gonna have a lot of nerve. Neither I nor His Majesty are ghosts that far."

That being said, Todoris showed two fingers.

"You may make some concessions regarding the fourth and fifth."

To Todris' words, Sherheen accidentally speaks out.

"Are you going to continue the war and break through the guardianship of the king's capital? His Majesty the Emperor of Lemuria is. You're very confident."

"Oh no... well, let's say this from me too. Is the north guard okay?

"Oh, that's..."

Sherheen gets his mouth caged.

In the north of the Farse kingdom, there is a great empire of horseback nomads called the Black Clash (Coates).

It is a large horse-riding nomadic country with more than the Kingdom of Bulgarons, and its total strength is more than 100,000.

Whatever, it's all cavalry.

Satan VIII was also burning his hands at this Black Clan.

And...

The enemies of the enemy were allies, and sometimes the Lemurian Empire and the Black Clash had national relations and had a friendly relationship.

"I have an inviolability treaty with the Black Clash. Don't worry about sardines in your country."

When the Foreign Secretary objected to Todoris, Todoris raised his voice to his surprise.

"Oh? My country and your country should have had an inviolability treaty, too?

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs can only speak to this. Because this war is not in the Farse kingdom.

By the way...

Todoris brought the black clash to the table in order to attack the unilateral abandonment of the Treaties of Inviolability by the Kingdom of Fars.

Todoris is always, computationally, opening his mouth.

"Well, it's good to have passed. So... the problem is the fourth and fifth, and you say it's really unacceptable?

"... it's too much demand. We did lose, but we can still fight. You can't give up territory."

"Hmm... let's come up with a compromise"

That said, Todoris smiled.

"Let's take down the demands of the territory west of the Flat River. Instead, we ask you to assign Arsinia."

Arsinia is a fertile land, south of the Kingdom of Hayastan, sandwiched between the Flat and Dajra rivers.

And… above all, upstream of both rivers.

It's geopolitically unsavory to be held up upstream of the river.

By going down by boat, you can quickly attack the Wang Metropolitan Area.

"Well, that's... unacceptable"

"Let's do the opposite, then. Let's give up Arsinia. Instead, we'll have territory west of the Flat River."

"That's impossible, too."

When the Foreign Secretary said so back, suddenly Todris turned a bright red face.

"Don't be silly!!!

The voice of Todoris echoes throughout the palace of the kingdom of Farth.

Unexpectedly, the Foreign Secretary and Sherheen flaunted themselves.

The person who was laughing at Nico with a calm expression suddenly became furious, so it is impossible to be surprised.

Todris yells.

"Feel good if this one makes concessions!! Who started this war in the first place? Your country has unilaterally broken the peace!! Doesn't Farth intend to show any sincerity!!

The Foreign Secretary rushes to fix it.

"Oh, calm down, Lord Todoris!!

"Can this calm down!!

Todoris is strong and stares at the Foreign Secretary.

The Foreign Secretary manages to forgive Todris.

If the war resumes as it stands, the king-metropolitan area of the kingdom of Fars will suffer immense damage even if the king capital never falls.

Even if only irrigation installations are destroyed, the farming infrastructure of the Fars Kingdom will be devastated and we will not be able to recover for a while.

And...

Nor can we ignore the trends of the Black Clan.

"So let's do this!! Want to hit your hand with compensation? Pay the right amount!!

"... indemnity? You're gonna solve this with money?

When Todris stares, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs is unexpectedly frivolous.

Todoris sighs.

"Oh, you have no choice. Now let's hit our hands with compensation."

That being said, Todoris charged an amount for the province of Arsinia and for the territory west of the Flat River.

That amount...

"Ya, too expensive!!

"... are you complaining again?

When Todris glanced lightly, the Foreign Secretary shook his head to the side.

"And it's outrageous... but... to make this amount into a lump sum... at least into instalments..."

"No, it's a lump sum. Because if they step down, I'm in trouble. Yeah, I'm sorry you broke your promise."

When they said that, there was no longer anything the Foreign Secretary could say back.

A peace treaty has been signed between the two countries…

A temporary peace came.

By the way...

Erkühr ordered Todris to

"At a minimum, the protectorate of the Kingdom of Hayastan and the conclusion of an inviolable treaty for more than five years. And if you can, come up with the compensation. The territory is troublesome to govern, so we don't need it. At any rate, there will be a revolt, and it will be taken back. And it could be a new spark of war."

is what it is, and I will note here that Todris has made a great diplomatic victory.
