The Nanzhou Monster Clan withdrew from the Wu Kingdom and hoarded their troops in the Qianluo Kingdom, Xiluo Kingdom, Wei Kingdom, Annan Kingdom and Wusun Kingdom. After retreating, they completely withdrew from the human territory.
So in fact, the Nanzhou Monster Clan has been defeated. After four years of war, it has lost an army of 780 million monsters. In addition to bringing heavy disasters to the two tribes, it has no real significance. The Monster Clan Alliance in various places has lost one A main force.
Lin Xiao led the army to the Wu State, and the defense line in the Song State also moved southward again, approaching the Xiluo State, forming an encirclement situation from the north and east.
"Bai Zichen has met the leader"
At the gate of Tiansheng Sect, Lin Xiao came with Nanzhou senior officials, and Bai Zichen brought Nan Xuan and others to pay their respects.
"No need to be polite Zichen, you did a good job, I am very pleased."
"Master, Tianxiang and the others"
"It's okay, they're not dead yet"
"real?"
Bai Zichen was extremely surprised. It had been about a year since they went deep into the wilderness. There was no news about Yu Tianxiang, Jia Mengran, and Yuan Ruoyun. Everyone thought they were dead, but Lin Xiao said that they were not dead. For Bai Zichen, Naturally it is a very surprising thing.
"I have my own opinion on this matter, Nanxuan, arrange for the army to eat and rest."
"Yes, Master"
Nan Xuan nodded. At this time, the entire South Continent is in urgent need of food, but there is no shortage of monster flesh and blood. They are very wealthy. Many monks eat meat until they vomit. But even so, they have to eat. There is no way. It will take a few years. Eighty percent of the monks in Nanzhou are on the battlefield, and their stocks have already been almost depleted.
Nan Xuan cleared out the Tiansheng Sect's meeting hall, and Lin Xiao and a group of senior officials met here to discuss the future direction.
"Everyone, this is the latest sand table of the situation in Nanzhou. We can see that now, except for the more than ten countries at the southwest end of Nanzhou, our fallen territories have basically been recovered. So the future direction of the countries in Nanzhou needs to be discussed. Yes, what do you think?”
"As it should be, Leader Lin, what do you think each country should do in the future?"
"There are several things to be done at the moment. The first thing is what to do about the Nanzhou Monster Tribe. The second thing is what to do with the territories of each country. The third thing is what to do about the northern front.
We discussed everything one by one. The first thing is, what should we do about the Nanzhou Monster Clan? Everyone, although we have won the war now, we have also suffered a tragic victory. According to incomplete statistics, so far, the Nanzhou monks have The number of casualties has exceeded 20 million, among which the Zong family forces account for at least more than ten million. It can be said that the Zong family forces in the entire Nanzhou have suffered one-fifth casualties, but this casualty is unbalanced.
Although the casualties in the countries to the north of Qi State were heavy, they were not severe enough. In the more than 60 countries to the south of Qi State, many forces were uprooted, and their families, clans, and even their countries were wiped out. , Not only that, their territory has been occupied, the foundation of thousands of years of operation has been lost, and a large number of mortal relatives have been killed, so we are no longer able to truly annihilate all the Nanzhou Monster Clan."
"Does Leader Lin mean to negotiate peace with the demon clan?"
"No, it's a truce. The demon race and the human race can never be at peace, but there can be a truce. Both of us need to recuperate and recuperate before fighting again. Everyone, the war between our two races has lasted for millions of years, and it is not a short time."
"A truce is okay, but the monster race must withdraw from the human race's territory."
"This is natural. Don't worry. The Elephant Emperor is also in a dilemma now. He is seriously injured. Now he relies on his cultivation to suppress him. But how long can he be suppressed? The harder he suppresses, the more powerful the explosion will be, and the more terrifying his weakening will be."
Even the position of the Demon King will not be preserved until then, so a truce is certain. Since everyone has no objections to the first matter, let’s discuss the second matter.
We have killed so many people this time, what to do with the vacated territory? Many sects had tens of thousands of disciples before the war, but after the war there may only be a few hundred, and they are simply unable to maintain the territory they had in the past. This is all a problem."
"Leader Lin makes sense, but Leader Lin, if we follow the practices of Central Continent, it would not be appropriate. Everyone died fighting for the great cause of the Southern Continent human race. If they cannot even preserve their sect inheritance, it will inevitably lead to
Everyone is heartbroken, how will we go through life and death for Nanzhou in the future?"
"Well said, Lin will not repeat what he did in Zhongzhou. Those territories belong to the enemy, so we can naturally dispose of them at will. These territories belong to us Nanzhou people and our own family, so I think,
The Southern Continental Alliance will exist for a long time in the future, at least for more than a hundred years.
We can issue an order that all sects in the occupied territories will be protected by the Southern Continent Alliance for the next hundred years. Each sect in each country is not allowed to annex them, and their basic interests must be preserved.
At the same time, our current army must make statistics. As long as there is still a monk in each sect and family in each country, the previous territory will remain intact and all will be returned. If any family is unfortunate and all the monks die in the battle, it will be taken back to the alliance.
, how about following the rules of Xuantian Clan back then?"
“As it should be”
Everyone agreed that in this battle, more than sixty countries in the southern part of Nanzhou suffered heavy losses. They were also very afraid of being annexed after the war. After all, their strength was already very weak. If there was an alliance to uphold justice, it would be easy.
A hundred years is enough time for them to recover.
"Leader Lin, what if there is a force that has suffered heavy losses and cannot even maintain its basic orthodoxy?"
"Easy to handle, let them shrink their power and keep as much as they think they can. If they can't keep it, the alliance will bid to buy it."
"Bid to buy?"
"Yes, if you bid to buy, you can't let them feel too cold."
Lin Xiao replied that in fact, the alliance did not have much money left, but Lin Xiao was still unwilling to directly annex those territories and wanted to maintain a good appearance.
"Leader Lin, can the financial resources of the Southern Continent Alliance still be sustained?"
"We must hold on even if we can't hold on. We can take a break with rewards for military exploits and pensions for those killed in battle, but our posture must be good to let those forces know that we are protecting them, not taking the opportunity to annex them."
"Then I have no objection."
"I don't have any objection either"
"So are we"
"Then let's talk about the third thing. Now there are still wars in three places in Nanzhou, the northern part of Qin State, the Murong State and the southern part of Qin State. How should we deal with it?"
"Leader Lin, Nanzhou is one. We Qin monks have suffered countless casualties for the sake of other countries. We can't just kill donkeys to take advantage of others."
When Ma Langfei heard this, he was the first to become anxious. The countries in Southern Continent were fine, but Qin was in trouble. If Lin Xiao felt that recuperation was more important now and refused to support, Qin would be doomed.
"Don't be anxious, Patriarch Ma. Support is definitely needed, but we must have methods and regulations."
"Uncle Master, let's listen to what Alliance Leader Lin has to say. Alliance Leader Lin will definitely not give up on Qin."
"Minghua is right. Qin is the Qin State of Nanzhou. Naturally, it will not give up. When we support Qin, we support Nanzhou. This issue is also closely related to the previous issue, so I proposed a seed plan. Nanzhou
All sects and families in all countries are divided into several levels according to the number of monks. Sects with less than a thousand people are divided into several levels.
The family can stop recruiting, rest in peace, and leave a seed. The forces with more than a thousand people can be divided into multiple levels from three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand.
Draw out the elite, for example, 300 for 3,000 people, 500 for 5,000 people, this will leave seeds for all forces."
"Leader Lin, this proposal is certainly a good one, but will the number of people transferred be too few?"
"The transfer ratio can be increased. We will discuss the details. Anyway, the total number cannot be less than 5 million monks. Including casual cultivators, the total number will not be less than 10 million."
Ma Langfei, Tan Minghua and others thought about it for a while. If 10 million monks reinforced the Qin State, it would be enough to withstand the attack of the demon clan and ensure that there would be no problems on the front line, so they agreed.
The general strategy had been adopted, but Lin Xiao didn't care about how to implement it. He didn't have that much energy, so he allocated specialized personnel to plan it. Next, Lin Xiao talked about some more important things.
For example, how to recuperate and recuperate? Now Nanzhou is also in urgent need of supplies. Spiritual rice, low-level elixirs, and high-level elixirs are all in short supply. High-level elixirs will not be available for a while, but production of spiritual rice and low-level elixirs must be arranged.
Otherwise, when these monster beasts eat up their flesh and blood, Nanzhou will fall into a large-scale famine.
There is also the resettlement of mortals. A large number of mortals from the more than 60 fallen countries were killed in battle, and only a few could move to the north of Qi. The gap in the number of mortals was huge. How to arrange it was a headache. The matter was very complicated.
The meeting lasted for three full days before Lin Xiao sorted out most of the things. After the meeting, Lin Xiao sent an envoy to see Emperor Xiang to discuss a truce.
Although Xiang Huang was unwilling to fail at this time, the reality has made him unable to fight anymore. The low-level monsters have lost nearly half of their losses, and the high-level monster kings have also suffered a lot. The monsters are tired of war and urgently need to return to their respective territories to recuperate.
, otherwise many races will be exterminated.
Xiang Huang himself is also in danger. Li Yuanzun's forbidden technique is still consuming his vitality. At this time, it is all suppressed by his cultivation. The harder he suppresses, the stronger the rebound. Once the injury occurs, his strength will be weaker than ordinary people.
The supreme demon clan may be pulled down from the throne of the demon emperor.
Once he loses the position of Demon Emperor, he will lose the opportunity to gather the destiny of the Demon Clan. Let alone ascending, it will be difficult even to save his life. The Demon Clan is much more ruthless than Lin Xiao in seizing power, and he must not be allowed to make a comeback.
Chances are, the Elephant Demon clan will be exterminated.
Therefore, the arrival of envoy Lin Xiao was a step down for Xiang Huang. He agreed without much hesitation. The two parties agreed to meet in front of the Qianluo army formation in three days. Xiang Huang would only bring one person with him, and Lin Xiao
You can only bring a maximum of two people.
Lin Xiao received the reply and smiled. As long as the Xiang Emperor agreed to the armistice agreement, there would not be much of a threat to Nanzhou.
