Chapter 1447 Reaching a consensus

Although the bigger the land, the better, but practical considerations must also be taken.

If someone controls it, then it’s their own land. If no one controls it, it’s just a nominal territory, a de facto no-man’s land.

The capital of the Tandelon Demonic Kingdom and the surrounding three hundred miles of land are of course high-quality fertile land. There is also a canal leading to the sea near the capital, making trade very convenient.

But its location is too far from Avarus.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is an enclave, and even if Viola wanted to, she would not have enough people to occupy it.

What's more, there is still a long forest between the capital and Viola's current actual control area. Communication and transportation between the two are very troublesome, and Viola is not able to manage it even if she nods.

Of course Laurent, the demon king of Lakshurya, knew about this, but he still proposed it, and it was approved by Oswaya.

Something is wrong.

There must be another reason for this so-called compensation.

"I understand your good intentions, but I will not take over that territory."

In any case, the current Avarus can't eat it, and holding the territory that it can't eat will cause trouble. And by agreeing, it is equivalent to accepting Laurent's favor, and it is time to make concessions on other issues that follow. .

So Viola didn't do any ink and refused outright.

"If your Majesty Laurent has any proposals, please explain them directly. The time for magic communication is limited, and the details can wait for our interview later."

"Very good, Your Majesty Viola, you are a person who likes to talk clearly, which makes me very happy."

Laurent said:

"I hope to exchange for a piece of territory close to ours in your hands."

"where?"

"Balsa Basin."

Leaving the fortress directly north of Avarus and passing through five cities in Tanderon, we arrived at the Balsa Wood Basin.

It produced a lot of wood for building warships, but other than that, there was nothing special about it.

For Avarus, this land is dispensable. It’s not that it can’t be given, but you can’t just give it to you if you say you want it, right?

"In exchange, we are willing to hand over the two fortresses in our hands to you."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

The fortress given by Lakshurya is almost their gateway and it will be much easier for Avarus if he wants to invade them.

"Of course, Your Majesty Viola."

Laurent said:

"We, Lakshurya, are a mountain country. After this war, we will gain access to the sea, but a bunch of mountain monkeys cannot build a big ship, so I need the basin in your hand that produces high-quality wood."

Lakshuriya must have made some deals with Oswaya secretly, otherwise as far as the current line of actual control is concerned, Lakshuriya has no outlet to the sea.

"But your safety is at great risk."

"I believe that the friendship between our two countries will last forever, and I also believe that under your guidance, we will maintain peace."

Do you really just believe it?

Viola didn't believe it.

She glanced briefly at the map hanging on the wall.

So, Lakshurya may be planning to invade the Enwei Demon Kingdom next.

As the only country among the seven demon kingdoms that has not been involved in the war, it is not that they are honest, but that they have been crippled by Viola, and now they dare not move.

Laurent seemed to have given Viola two fortresses to reduce his territory, but in fact he allowed the power of Avarus to extend forward, just bordering the Demon Kingdom of Enwei.

Not long ago, I was beaten to autistic state by Avarus, and I suddenly found myself on the border with an enemy who had invaded not long ago. What do you think the Demon Kingdom of Enwei would think?

Avarus will definitely come for revenge.

For this reason, Enwei Demon Kingdom will definitely mobilize its troops to focus on defense. However, in this way, it just falls into Lakshurya's trap and can attack the weak defense areas of Enwei Demon Kingdom from the other side.

Even if they join forces with Avarus to carve up the Enwei Demon Kingdom, it is not impossible.

Lakshurya is a mountain country, and they really want flat land. Whether it was the previous invasion of Avarus or all previous wars, almost all of them revolved around land.

The land of the Tandron Demon Kingdom has been eaten, and now it’s time to eat another dish.

This guy has really big ambitions.

But this has nothing to do with Viola.

Viola has decided that after this war, Avarus will recuperate and consolidate the territory it has captured so far. There will be no more wars in a short time.

If Lakshurya wants to fight, let him fight, and Viola will be happy to watch the show.

"In principle, I agree, but the specific details still need to be discussed."

"Of course, I will send my most trusted prime minister to do this."

This was all Laurent asked of Avarus, and Viola immediately asked:

"In this case, I have a proposal. I hope that after you conquer the capital of Tandelon, we can allow the area to be autonomous."

This sentence made Laurent and Sara frown:

"Your Majesty, can you explain your thoughts?"

"Everyone here is unable to eat it. Instead of holding it in your hands and causing trouble for yourself, it is better to let them govern themselves. Of course, self-governance is also conditional. It must become the city of the king."

Now everyone understands that autonomy means transforming it from a political center into a religious city.

As long as the belief in the Demon King God spreads, there is no need to worry about the resurgence of the Tandelon Demon Kingdom and becoming an independent neutral city just like the Academic City.

None of the three countries needs to spend manpower and material resources to build or manage it, and it can also serve as a buffer zone between the three countries, so everyone is more assured and everyone is satisfied.

It's just that the Tandelong royal family may not be very happy.

Viola is the regent of Avarus and a devout believer. It's not surprising that she would make such a proposal.

In fact, Viola has long wanted to build a city belonging to the Demon King God, but it's too busy during this period, and the capital's great temple has only built a front hall so far, and it will take a long time to complete.

Although Li Chengxi doesn't care, Viola feels that as a powerful Demon King God, he must have a city that belongs to him completely.

This proposal was agreed by the other two countries. Although there are still many details to discuss, the general direction has been determined.

At this time, the Demon King Claydy of Guatni said:

"Your Majesty Viola, I think we need to discuss the attack on the Subia Demon Kingdom."

How the Tandelong Demon Kingdom is divided has nothing to do with the Guatni Demon Kingdom, so Claydy has always been simply listening and waiting for them to finish discussing.

"You know, we are best at naval battles, but we don't know much about fighting on land. We have only captured a few coastal cities so far."

"Your Majesty, I was just about to say that I hope you can cooperate with our navy to defeat the Subiah Demon Kingdom's manpower at sea, but realistically speaking, we can't divide Subiah like we divided Tandelon."

Now that they have captured a lot of territory, Avarus can only cut another piece of meat from Subiah at most, and it is impossible to divide it in two and share it with Guatni.

And the Guatni Demon Kingdom is also aware of this. They are even smaller and weaker. Even if the Subiah Demon Kingdom does not resist at all, they can't eat that much.

So the strategy against the Subiah Demon Kingdom is basically to make it cede land and pay compensation, of which ceding land is only a small part, and the compensation is the big part.
