Statistical reports on post-war casualties of armies from various countries were soon released.

As expected, the people's army of the Dawn Kingdom suffered the highest number of casualties in the decisive battle of the Imperial Capital, with a total of 301 people killed and thousands injured.

The emperor of the empire, Bejana Nicolast, was the main reason for this result. After implanting hundreds of magic stones in his body, the strength he possessed was simply not something that the people's army could compete with.

Fortunately, Owen took action in time and forcibly took the opponent away from the battlefield, otherwise the damage to the People's Army would only be more serious.

…

A few days later, order in the imperial capital Weispart was finally restored.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, representatives from the Dawn Kingdom, Fagarland Alliance, Venola Council and Starfire Kingdom gathered in the conference hall of the palace castle to hold an important meeting to discuss and decide how the four countries should carve up Popon.

Matters of Empire.

In this large-scale war in which the four countries besieged the Popang Empire, the Kingdom of Dawn was undoubtedly the country that contributed the most and suffered the heaviest losses among the four countries, and it should gain the greatest benefits.

There is no doubt about this, and Irving would never allow the People's Army to make such a huge sacrifice to serve as wedding clothes for others.

In addition, the representatives of the three countries also knew very well that although the Kingdom of Morning Light's army suffered the most serious damage in the decisive battle, its combat capabilities were still the strongest among the armies of the four countries, so they did not dare to open their mouths and ask for prices at this meeting.

If you accidentally anger the Dawn Kingdom, you might get nothing in the end.

Representatives from various countries sat down at the conference table in turn. The representatives of the Dawn Kingdom were Owen, Viscount Jarvis and others; the representatives of the Venola Council were the Elf Queen Igabella and the Elf Elders; the representatives of the Fajialan Alliance were the leader Barceló

The Duke and the accompanying nobles; the representatives of the Star Flame Kingdom were the few nobles who were ordered to lead the reinforcements, and they had the smallest number of participants.

The main purpose of the Holy Theocracy of Caleb is to eliminate the New Holy Religion and has little interest in carving up the Popon Empire. Therefore, Orl Thorfinn, the leader of the Knights Templar, did not attend the meeting.

The meeting was chaired by Irving, who was the first to speak: "As the victors, we are gathered here today to discuss how to divide the spoils. Next, representatives from various countries will be invited to speak in turn."

The first thing to discuss is naturally the issue of territorial division.

Let me explain here that currently, except for the western border and a few scattered areas, most of the land in the Popon Empire is under the control of the four-nation coalition.

After long discussions, we finally came up with a plan that satisfied all parties -

The Fagarland Alliance got their wish and regained the territory that had been annexed by the Popon Empire. This included the imperial capital of Weisbat, and they took away the largest area of ​​land.

The Council of Venora took back the land that formerly belonged to the elves, and nearly 80% of the northern land was returned to the rule of the Elf Queen.

Starfire Kingdom did not claim any land.

Because there is a large Rolla Forest between the Popon Empire and the Star Flame Kingdom, and there is not an inch of land between the two countries, so even if the land is obtained, it is an enclave that is difficult to manage, so it is simply not needed.

However, the Kingdom of Star Flame has received many other benefits from the Fajialan Alliance, and it can also be regarded as charging a large amount of expedition expenses.

The Kingdom of Dawn only received most of the eastern land, including Einbeck, and the area was smaller than that allocated to the Venola Council.

Having said that, after the annexation of this land, the territory of the Kingdom of Morning Light has still reached an unprecedented vastness, making it the giant of this continent.

The reason why the Dawn Kingdom did not take away most of the land was mainly because the remaining resistance forces of the Popon Empire were still dormant in various places. The larger the area of ​​​​the land divided, the harder it was to manage, and it would take several years to deal with the matter.

.

In addition, the nobles in the western border of the empire will definitely not give up. They will most likely form a new country like the Fajialan Alliance and continue to invade neighboring countries in the days to come.

Just go to the land in the east to avoid being harassed by them, which saves you a lot of worry.

Owen obviously doesn't want to waste too much time on these matters, so he should let the Fajialan Alliance deal with it slowly while he concentrates on developing domestically.

Of course, if the land was not divided up much, it would have to be compensated in other ways. The Dawn Kingdom took 60% of the treasures from the Popon Empire's treasury.

This large amount of war money, excluding the pensions and other subsidies paid to the families of martyrs, will be used by Owen for national construction and economic development.

Money only plays a role when it is flowing. If it is stored in a vault, it is just precious metal and has no effect.

Not only that, the Kingdom of Morning Light also asked for a large amount of important resources such as livestock, food, and population as compensation, and the other three countries had no objection to this.

"correct."

After the partition plan was finalized, Duke Barcelo suddenly asked: "I heard that the relevant information about the magic stone soldiers is stored underground in this castle. Is that so? King Wells."

"Yes."

Owen calmly told everyone the rhetoric he had prepared in advance: "However, it is really regrettable. In order to prevent other countries from obtaining these materials, Emperor Nicholas had them all burned before the decisive battle."

"Is it really Emperor Nicholas who ordered it to be destroyed?"

In this regard, Duke Barcelo questioned: "I am worried that someone will hide the information on the magic stone soldiers and create the illusion of burning them to deceive us."

The Kingdom of Dawn army was the first to enter the castle and start searching. Duke Barcelo's words were obviously suspicious of Owen.

Representatives from various countries have heard about the power of magic stone soldiers, and they have indeed become quite interested in them.

Hearing this, Owen smiled coldly and clarified what the other party said on the spot.

"Are you saying that I stole the information about the magic stone soldiers?"

"I definitely didn't mean that." Duke Barcelo quickly shook his head and denied, "During the decisive battle in the Imperial Capital, the city was in chaos. I was just worried that someone would take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace and castle, steal the magic stone soldier information, and then burn some unimportant items.

The information creates false impressions. After all, magic stone soldiers are so dangerous, and I believe you don’t want to find traces of magic stone soldiers in your country in the future, right?”

That's what he said, but what he is really worried about is that after this battle, various countries will secretly study the magic stone soldiers. If the Dawn Kingdom, which may have secretly hidden information, creates the magic stone soldiers in advance, it will pose a serious security threat to other countries.

.

Owen had already seen through Duke Barceló's true thoughts, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and he said slowly: "The magic stone soldiers are indeed powerful, but they still lost to our army in the end. The Kingdom of Morning Light does not need and will not take the initiative to study and research in the future.
