Luo Jie was telling the truth when he said he wanted to end the war.
Because it doesn't mean much to him to continue fighting.
From the time he declared the founding of a nation in the northern snowfield and attracted countless demihuman tribes to seek refuge, his map exploration rate instantly soared by 5 percentage points, almost tying the level of "Cheating High School Students Even in Another World"
The map exploration rate of the player team there.
However, after that, even though he led his army to break through the empire's borders and occupied almost one-fifth of the empire's territory in the snowfield, the map exploration rate did not increase at all.
When this happens, the only explanation is to use occupation to expand the map. The criterion is not occupation by force, but occupation by rule.
In other words, it is not enough to just rely on soldiers to defeat it. The vast majority of the people in the area must recognize your rule.
The situation on this continent is different from the opposite world of "Cheating High School Students". The empire does not impose too harsh oppression on the non-Asian people at the bottom. The human race, which accounts for the majority of the population, has a high degree of recognition of the empire's rule.
But he is quite resistant to the concept of racial equality promoted by the country of demi-humans.
Therefore, there are only two ways to substantively occupy the captured territory.
The first is to delay time.
As long as the country of demihumans can rule over these lands inhabited by humans for decades, when the new generation comes of age and the old people give up their unrealistic illusions, they will naturally complete the substantial occupation of this land.
The advantage of this method is that it can be done once and for all and has no future troubles. The disadvantage is that it takes too long and is not suitable for time and space travelers like Luo Jie who travel through thousands of realms.
Then the only feasible way is to make the original owner of the land voluntarily give up and recognize the demihuman country's ownership of this land.
Luo Jie's visit to the imperial capital this time was for this purpose.
What he didn't expect was that the emperor was actually so smart. Not only did he tacitly acknowledge the ownership of the land he was currently occupying, but he even offered a princess as a gift.
For such a considerate businessman, Luo Jie felt sorry for his conscience if he did not give a fifteen-word review and five stars.
However, it is a bit unreal to achieve the goal so easily.
Especially the princess who finally came over. Although "marriage in exchange for peace" was a common method of maintaining relations between countries in ancient times, when put together with the other two peace conditions, Luo Jie always felt indescribably weird.
and a sense of abruptness.
It is impossible to refuse.
It's not that Luo Jie covets the body of another princess. After all, the method of "marriage" itself is something like a guarantee. Look, if you marry my daughter, we will be a family from now on. You, a son-in-law, can't
So you can come with weapons and grab my father-in-law's things, right?
If he only agreed to the first two items and rejected the princess that the empire sent for nothing, it would not only humiliate the empire in person, but also give people a subtext that he might flip the table and start filming again at any time.
It's just...it still feels a little wrong.
Luo Jie subconsciously looked at the princess next to the throne who was wearing a ridiculous cervical traction device but still had no damage to her beauty. The fair girl with blond hair and white stockings blushed, and she hurriedly looked away from him as she secretly looked at him, her appearance even more shy.
It adds a bit of alluring flair.
The rhythmic tapping suddenly stopped. Luo Jie opened his interlocked fingers and moved his lips. The ministers and nobles in the palace held their breath subconsciously, as if they were prisoners waiting for the sentence.
"Okay, but there's one thing I hope to make some changes to."
Emperor "Morte" couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would insist on ceding territory and paying compensation and not follow the routine.
Fortunately, this demi-human king is not the ignorant young man who doesn't understand the general situation.
"I wonder which clause dissatisfies the Night Dire King?" Emperor "Morte" smiled more and more relaxedly. As long as there are no major differences in the overall terms, the modification of some small details is insignificant.
"About Article 3."
Luo Jie stretched out his finger and pointed to the other side of the throne opposite to the eldest princess "Latis".
"I hope that the one the empire will marry is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, Pinna Go Landa."
Bang!
The third princess "Ping Na" who didn't expect to be shot while lying down subconsciously took half a step back. In panic, she knocked over the decorative flower stand next to the throne and hurriedly re-inserted the fallen bouquet inside.
The emperor "Morte" couldn't help but was stunned. Although marrying the princess would not have much impact on the empire's plan to divert trouble to the east, the third daughter "Ping Na" was not good at planning after all, and placed her next to the other party, which was far from long-term.
Female "Latis" is more beneficial to the empire.
"Your Majesty the Nightmare King, I believe you have also seen that the little girl Ping Na has a somewhat reckless personality. She only likes to wield swords on weekdays. She is not as dignified and virtuous as my eldest daughter Latis. If she marries the king as his concubine,
I'm just afraid that there will be a loss of national dignity..."
"I am the king of a wild land, and what I like most is Princess Pinna's true and unpretentious temperament. Your Majesty, you don't have to mind."
Luo Jie couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the empire. The only thing he could do was to disrupt the rhythm of the empire within the rules.
Anyway, as long as the other party recognizes his ownership of the land on the border, his goal this time will be achieved. If the other party really digs some invisible hole for him, he will lose the exploration rate of the subsequent map and turn the table over.
Don't play.
"Yes! I promise you!"
"Pinna" was just unprepared for the moment, but she is essentially the same as her sister "Latis". They are both characters who have a deep understanding of their identity and responsibilities, and are willing to sacrifice everything for the empire at any time.
.
Before the emperor even agreed, the third princess stood up aggressively, her dazzling red hair looking like a burning fire in the sun.
The eldest princess "Latis" sighed secretly and quietly glanced at her father. The latter nodded understandingly and said: "Okay, since the Night Dire King likes the little girl Pinna more, then she will marry Latis instead of Latis."
Please make me your concubine to the king."
…
The empire attaches great importance to this peace negotiation, and the people below naturally did not dare to delay. It only took one day to draft the formal agreement document, and then worked overtime to decorate the venue, and at the same time posted notices everywhere to inform the entire imperial capital.
Three days later, the military parade square in front of the Imperial Palace.
Witnessed by tens of thousands of residents of the Imperial City and the Japanese diplomat "Mahara Koji", the Imperial Emperor "Mort" and the King of the Yukihara demihumans "Night Dire" formally signed their names on the drawn up armistice agreement.
, and the announcer will read out all the terms of the agreement in public.
No matter how the residents of the Imperial Capital view this peace talk, the Imperial Capital, Japan, and Luo Jie are basically satisfied with the results of the peace talks.
The empire only paid a small amount of barren land and a princess to eliminate a war that might have shaken the empire's rule.
The Japanese country just drew a line from the middle and opened up a whole new market outside the empire.
As for Luo Jie, he just rode a flame dragon and pretended to be a beep, and his map exploration rate increased by 1%, and he also picked up an RBQ for nothing...a soft, fair and beautiful princess.
It can be said that all three parties are happy.
Taking advantage of the success of the peace talks, the empire held a wedding ceremony for the third princess "Ping Na" and Luo Jie while the iron was hot. At the same time, they announced that the entire imperial capital would have a three-day carnival to celebrate the princess's wedding.
…
night.
On the outskirts of the imperial capital, the royal estate.
"Ping Na" wrapped the girl's beautiful body in a bath towel and walked out of the mist-shrouded bathroom under the service of the maid.
The two captains of the Knights of the Rose, "Poseis" and "Penny Pearl", had been standing guard outside the bathroom. When "Pinna" appeared, they immediately rushed to greet her.
"Your Highness Pinna...oh no, it's time to call you Queen Pinna."
"Penny Pearl", who has light-colored short hair and is as handsome as a handsome man, has a tone full of sadness. From now on, I am afraid that there will no longer be an organization called the Knights of the Rose.
"Pei Ni Zhu, don't show such an expression. Today is the wedding day of Her Highness Ping Na. We should be happy for her."
"Boses" with beautiful blond hair took the light and transparent white gauze nightgown from the maid's hand, took off "Pinna"'s bath towel and put it on herself.
"Although Your Highness Pinna led us to establish the Knights of the Rose, proving to everyone that our abilities are no worse than men, in fact everyone knows in their hearts that the entire empire actually only regards the Knights of the Rose as a group of noble women with nothing to do.
The knight game created..."
"This is how this world is. The ultimate fate of us noble women is to marry other nobles for the sake of strengthening the family. Your Highness Pinna is very lucky. At least the demihuman king of the snowy plains is not like the kings of other vassal countries who are about to die.
Although the old man was not born into a noble family, he was still polite in his words and deeds. He also accomplished the feat of subduing the Yanlong that even the first emperor had not accomplished... If he had not come from a rebellious background, he would have been the most powerful person in the aristocratic circle of the entire imperial capital.
A hot marriage partner."
"Ping Na" forced a smile at herself in the mirror. If there was no conspiracy hidden behind it, this legal marriage would indeed be as "Boseis" said, and it would not be so unacceptable.
It's a pity that she couldn't tell the truth to these two people. She was just a bait to lure them into a trap and voluntarily sacrificed themselves.
"It's getting late, you all should go back." "Ping Na" suddenly hugged the two of them and hugged them tightly, "Although there will no longer be the Knights of the Rose, you will always be in my heart.
The best subordinates and sisters."
The three of them hugged each other for a moment. "Boseis" wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, naughtily patted "Pingna"'s plump leather drum under the gauze, and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Highness Pingna, don't follow us.
You're tired of it, go back to your room quickly, don't keep your king waiting, if he can't help but call any maid to sleep with you, you, the real bride, will have to sleep in the guest room on your wedding night...
"
"If you dare to make fun of me again, I'll take you to bed!"
"Hey? Your Highness Ping Na, you must keep your word! The old man in my family has been deliberately trying to insert me into your dowry team these days, how about we just settle it like this?"
"Humph, it depends on whether I'm in a good mood or not. Just wait."
A bit of teasing with "Bosais" made "Pinna" feel much better. After waving goodbye to the two of them, she turned around and mustered up her courage to walk to the bedroom at the end of the corridor.
I’m finally starting to get back into shape, come on (^ω^)!
