After Valed finished speaking these two words, the vampires around him either understood the gods or were in a trembling mood. Some did not agree or accepted it. However, no one wanted to speak out his attitude at this moment. Even the extremist worship of Valed and really treated him as a god-like extremist, did not say the words of approval at the first time.

However, this is enough for Valed - if you don't object, you agree. This kind of thing can be understood by any ruler.

In fact, in the next step, a secret ballot is required to pass this resolution. But Vared did not act according to this convention. What's even more strange is that more than 3,000 other vampires seemed to have completely forgotten about this matter. They didn't mention it.

The civic convention ended in an inexplicable and strange atmosphere. Or the unwise people did not know what this matter represented, but Valed knew that everything he sought had been agreed, and in the days to come, his power and power would once again expand greatly.

In December of the 2338th year of the Empire, after several months of confrontation and negotiations, the Sigma Empire finally rejected the armistice agreement Sirvania expected to sign with him. This armistice agreement was too harsh for the soldiers of the Sigma Empire. But for Valed, it was already his biggest regression.

He asked the empire to recognize Sylvania's occupation of the four principalities of Steelland, Vessenland, Rickland and Ive. At the same time, he asked the empire to ced all of the two principalities of Ostmach and Ostland, and then ced the entire Central Great Forest area - this is equivalent to the majority of the territory of the two principalities of Tarabek and Hock among the remaining four principalities of the empire, one-third of Miranden and one-fifth of Nordland. The delivery of these territories is equivalent to giving more than half of the existing and controlable territories of the empire to Sylvania.

The price exchanged by Sirvania was to sign a three hundred-year peace agreement with the Sigma Empire, and to fund some of the funds and materials of the Sigma Empire to support their attack on Marian Castle and its nearby Free City, so that the overall strength of the empire's territory would not decline much. At the same time, in this great war, the Sigma Empire must be an ally of Sirvania, follow Sirvania's diplomatic strategy, abandon all, regardless of all forms of covenants signed with other countries before this, and unconditionally support Sirvania in the subsequent war.

Magnus finally resisted the urge to tear the peace. He showed a hideous smile and then ordered the empire Prime Minister McLean to negotiate with the messenger sent by Sylvania.

Of course, both Sirvania and the remnants of the Sigma Empire understood that this kind of negotiation was absolutely impossible to succeed. Its purpose was nothing but delaying time - Magnus needed enough time to formulate new tactics and gather new strategic materials to facilitate the implementation of the next stage of defensive operations against Sirvania.

While the Sigma Empire was negotiating, the military preparations were constantly underway. This naturally could not be hidden from the vampires of Sylvania. However, the vampires also had their own considerations. Vared also knew that Magnus would not give up so willingly. Because he had an army of one million and a small half of the territory of the Sigma Empire.

It was like the situation of the Democratic Party, a bureaucratic right-wing regime in a civil war, on the eve of the Crossing River Battle. Although I knew that there would be no benefit to continue fighting, when I still had so much capital in my hands, he was unwilling to compromise and surrender. In the end, I had to lose all my last little fortune before I was willing to be honest.

But knowing that it is knowing, contempt is also contempt. Vared still feels a little headache when facing this army.

A million troops were killed, and they were also a large number of them. What was more important was that the other party, Magnus, seemed to have a certain understanding of Sylvania's tactics. This made him not concentrate his troops and use them, but evenly distributed them in various important places in the existing territory of the empire.

Generally speaking, it is extremely bad to disperse the army and have guards in various places. No experienced general will allow such a thing to happen. However, after carefully studying the fighting style of the Sylvanian Black New Army, Magnus also came up with some specious intelligence. That is,

The opponent's main force mainly relies on various muskets with extremely fast firing speeds, powerful artillery, and light cavalry equipped with excellent muskets and micro-curved swords. Such an army fights with tilted ammunition to kill. The more dense the queues are, the more damage it will be suffered. If the traditional dense long spear array is still used as the main force, there will be no residue left that will be scattered by the opponent's powerful firepower.

"So, I decided to implement such tactics - ditches, docks, small low defensive buildings, complex terrain, loose straits, long range long bows and long tube smoothbore guns. I wanted my position to become like mud, leaving the other party deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself. I could only be swallowed up little by little!"

That's it, he is worthy of being one of the top military talents in the old world. When facing the elite troops of Sylvania, Magnus created a new type of defense tactic after careful consideration. He mainly used chaotic terrain, large-scale positions, various obstacles, elite shooters, and small-scale guerrillas. He hoped to use such tactics to fight against the new Black Army of Sylvania.

His orders made the military and civilians of the Sigma Empire suffer. The period from the negotiations to the war was in autumn and winter. One needed a large number of people to organize the autumn harvest, the other was cold and the land was stiff and difficult to start construction. It was not a good time to do engineering.

However, under the tough order of Magnus, the military and civilians of the Sigma Empire had no choice but to obey orders. The final cost was that the Sigma Empire was originally short of food due to war, economic demise and the loss of several important grain-producing areas. This time, a large-scale mobilization of the people to build fortifications and positions delayed the autumn harvest and caused many grains to rot in the fields. This eventually led to insufficient military rations fortifications of the Sigma Empire.

In September, the Emperor** implemented the grain rationing system, requiring each Emperor** soldier to distribute 500 grams of rations per day.

In November, the Emperor** implemented a more stringent grain rationing system, requiring each Emperor** soldier to distribute 300 grams of rations per day.

Three hundred grams, that is, three taels of black bread or cereal. This kind of thing can't stand the hunger for young and middle-aged soldiers. Not to mention that in the following winter, these poor people would have to get up early and go to bed late to build fortifications... Hunger and cold, coupled with fatigue, caused serious non-combat troops in the Sigma army to lose their morale.

In this case, some soldiers even defected collectively because they could not stand such suffering. They either became bandits or went south and fled to the ruling area of ​​Sylvania.

Vared was naturally happy to see such a weakening of the enemy. Knowing that the negotiations with the empire were completely impossible to succeed, he had already started combat preparations. These work combined with the work of governing the newly obtained territory was quite large, and it was no less than the large-scale military projects of the Sigma Empire. However, even in this case, Vared did a lot of tricks secretly.

He sent spies to spread messages, claiming that Sylvania is willing to accept all peace-loving imperialists and to accept them as Sylvanian nationals. For humanitarian reasons, as long as they are willing to give up their armed forces and accept the management of the Sylvanian government, the Sylvanian government will give them food and material assistance, and will be willing to give them farm land according to national standards, or arrange them to enter factories or engage in other industries.

However, it is very regrettable that after Valed put forward this very good condition, there were not many Sigma Emperors. This made Valed quite puzzled. However, this great man who regarded himself as a very high-profile man would not regard this as his own mistake, but understood it as: Although he was almost at the end of his life, the Sigma Empire had ruled this area for thousands of years, and it was inevitable that people would like to be.

"Well, this must be the reason. It seems that most Sigma sergeants are more shameless, so they don't care about the orphan Yin*. Yes, yes, yes, yes."

After saying this, Vared turned his head and looked at the loyal female dog Katie beside him.

Colosia immediately nodded confidently and said, "That's it, the master said nothing."

It was not to please Valed, nor to lie against his will because of his liking, nor to fear, but to trust him from the bottom of his heart and to take every word he said as truth. This was Valed's loyal servant.

Of course, this statement was quickly proved wrong. When his sister and lover Isabella came back from practicing martial arts and went to see him in sweat, when Vared was wet with sweat, his underwear was faintly visible, and his sister was fascinated by her good figure and could not be better than her, she also smiled and picked up the official document on his desk, and then raised her eyebrows:
