Chapter 165 Demon Empire Surrenders
The next day, everyone in the Demon Empire’s capital, Xilua City, was in an uproar.
Both commoners and nobles were outraged.
The first thing was that an assassin broke into the palace last night and a large number of servants and maids were killed.
Even the Demon Queen Ivian was injured and fell into a coma.
The second incident was even more shocking. The empire's front-line army was defeated and the military minister committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
According to the announcement issued by the empire, the military minister embezzled military funds, so that the soldiers could not get weapons and equipment, and the war was a complete failure.
In order to protect the empire, Demon Emperor Latiface chose to compromise and surrender to humans.
When ordinary people heard the news, they were immediately filled with hatred towards the Minister of Military Affairs.
The nobles were sweating profusely after hearing the news.
The military minister did not just commit suicide out of fear of punishment. They learned that his entire family of 114 people were slaughtered.
Even babies in swaddling clothes were not spared.
All of them were killed with one sword!
The nobles had already thought of Latiface.
But they just couldn't figure out where Latiface's power came from?
Where on earth did these people come from?
While they were wondering, some great nobles had already begun to gather their troops.
But something even more terrible happened.
Their army has been replaced!
In other words, the imperial guards now in the capital camp are all soldiers who were supposed to go to the battlefield.
So where did their soldiers go?
The nobles thought of the demon army trapped on the battlefield...
And that's not the scariest thing.
As the war in the Demon Empire progressed, ordinary people in the Demon Empire lived poorly and their quality of life declined greatly.
There was serious inflation throughout the rear area.
A piece of black bread costs five copper coins.
Ordinary people can only rely on the food stored at home or live frugally...
And the nobles are still living a life of drunkenness and debauchery...
But for the sake of the empire, all the civilians gritted their teeth and persevered, working hard without complaint.
But with the news of the empire's defeat.
The Demon Empire finally exploded.
Angry civilians began to take to the streets and attack the nobles of the Demon Empire.
A large number of civilians knelt at the gate of the palace, begging Latiface to give them justice.
Latiface did not deal with the situation in a hurry, but instead had someone add fuel to the fire behind the scenes.
A large number of crimes committed by nobles were exposed.
At the same time, the army was mobilized and stationed in the capital.
At first the civilians thought that these troops were coming to suppress them.
But soon they discovered that these troops did not attack them.
Instead, they just stayed in the capital and treated them as air.
After repeated attempts, the civilians finally confirmed that these troops were only there to maintain law and order.
It seems that His Majesty has acquiesced...
Under the leadership of some people, the civilians launched a public opinion offensive.
They attacked the mansions of guilty nobles every day.
And as long as the nobles dared to drive out or harm the civilians.
The army waiting on the side would break in, search the house and put the person in jail.
Some powerful nobles planned to resist with force.
But he was killed instantly by the man in black who suddenly appeared.
The nobles were forced to obey.
But as a large number of nobles were arrested, they all felt insecure.
Many nobles began to huddle together for warmth.
But Latiface said it was great! There was no excuse! It was just a one-pot deal!
Relying on public indignation and Latiface's forbearance for more than ten years.
Latiface finally exploded on this day.
All opponents were eliminated in one go.
After dealing with all this, Latifis also began to prepare for surrender.
Surrender is necessary, but how to surrender and the conditions for surrender...
We must strive for all of these.
Latiface contacted Lyon immediately and ordered the soldiers on the front line to cease fire.
When Lyon heard that Latiface wanted to surrender, he immediately agreed and ordered his soldiers to cease fire.
After all, shells cost money.
A lot of shells have been used in the intimidation bombardment these days.
This war also cost a lot of money, and some countries just happened to surrender.
Jie Jie Jie!
Lyon was already feeling ecstatic.
He wants to experience what it feels like to be a great power.
Soon, Latiface contacted Lyon in the morning, and at noon Lyon delivered Dayan's request to Latiface's desk.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Latiface looked at the unequal treaty on the table and spoke loudly.
It is written in the unequal treaty.
All captured demon soldiers, as well as all demon soldiers within the Elf Empire, surrendered to Dayan and underwent labor reform.
Release date is determined based on crime and behavior.
The southern border of the Demon Empire must not be fortified.
The land to the south, including the Latini Fortress, was ceded to Dayan.
Compensate Dayan 1 million gold coins, to be paid off in five years.
Compensate the East Elf Empire with 2 million gold coins, to be paid off in years.
And recognize that the East Elf Empire is the only orthodox Elf Empire.
Allow Da Yan to build factories within the Demon Empire.
This is the unequal treaty given.
First of all, the prisoners are excellent labor force.
So Lyon kept holding on.
Lyon only asked for a symbolic compensation.
First of all, the economy of the Demon Empire is on the verge of collapse. If the Demon Empire collapses, then Dayan’s industrial products will lose a market.
At the same time, the Papal States and the Demon Empire are now in dire straits.
Leon wanted to keep the Demon Empire alive so that the country could survive and withstand the attack of the Papal State.
At the same time, they invaded the Demon Empire economically and then exported culture through economic means.
The purpose of opening a factory is to suppress the original industries of the Demon Empire.
Lyon didn't ask for much land, just the land south of the fortress.
Because the land north of the fortress has no soil at all, it is all sand and gravel.
To have such a useless piece of land, a large number of troops are stationed there.
It’s better to pick important land.
At least that's the case for Da Yan at the moment.
Latini Fortress is the southern gateway to the Demon Empire.
Lyon must seize the fortress.
At the same time, an airport was built here.
The B29 bomber can even bomb the capital of the Demon Empire.
The compensation paid to the Eastern Elves is to compensate them.
But at the same time, these compensations will eventually go to Lyon.
Since Dayan is here, the Eastern Elves have to show some appreciation, right?
It’s okay if you don’t have money, just give people resources.
Jie Jie Jie!
If not, I think Her Majesty the Queen still has her charm!
Sif is a ninth-level warrior, so it would be a great profit if we could take her back.
But this is just thought...
However, 200 million gold coins are not enough to restore and rebuild the Elf Empire, so the Eastern Elf Empire must ask for help from Dayan.
Da Yan can completely control the East Elf Empire.
And do all this.
Leon looked at his plan with satisfaction.
Eastern Elves, Holy Empire, Orc Empire, Demon Empire.
The four chess games have been set, and we are just waiting for the passage of time and the heavens to make their moves...
