Statistical reports on post-war casualties of the armies of various countries were soon released.Sure enough, the People's Army of the Dawnlight Kingdom suffered the largest number of casualties in the decisive battle of the imperial capital, with a total of 301 casualties and thousands wounded.Emperor Begana Nikolast was the main reason for this result, and after implanting hundreds of magic stones in his body, he possessed a strength that was simply not something that the People's Army could compete with.Fortunately, Owen intervened in time to forcibly take the other party away from the battlefield, otherwise the damage to the People's Army would only be worse.…… A few days later, order was finally restored in the imperial capital of Wisbat.Taking advantage of this opportunity, representatives of the Dawnlight Kingdom, the Fagalan Alliance, the Venola Kingdom, and the Starflame Kingdom gathered in the conference hall of the palace castle to convene an important meeting to discuss and decide how the four kingdoms should divide up the Popang Empire.In this large-scale war in which the four countries besieged the Popon Empire, the Dawnlight Kingdom was undoubtedly the country that contributed the most and suffered the heaviest losses among the four countries, and deserved the greatest benefits.There is no doubt about this, and Owen would never allow the People's Army to make a wedding dress for others at such a great sacrifice.The representatives of the other three countries also knew very well in their hearts that although the army of the Dawnlight Kingdom was the most seriously damaged in the decisive battle, its combat capability was still the strongest among the armies of the four countries, so they did not dare to open their mouths and ask for a price in this meeting.If you accidentally anger the Dawnlight Kingdom, you may not get anything in the end.The representatives of the various countries sat down at the conference table in turn, and the representatives of the Morning Light Kingdom were Owen, Viscount Jarvis and others; The representatives of the Venola Council are the Elven Queen Igabella and the Elven Elders; The representatives of the Fagaran League were the Duke of Barcelo and the accompanying nobles; The representatives of the Starflame Kingdom were several nobles who were ordered to lead reinforcements, and the number of participants was the smallest.The main purpose of the Caleb Cult was to destroy the New Cult and there was little interest in carving up the Popan Empire, so the head of the Templar Order, Orn Thofen, did not attend the meeting.The meeting, chaired by Owen, was the first to speak: "As the victorious side, we are gathered here today to discuss how to divide the spoils of war, and then I will invite the representatives of each country to speak in turn. ”The first to be discussed, of course, is the question of territorial partitions.It should be noted here that at present, with the exception of the western frontier and a few scattered areas, the vast majority of the land of the Popon Empire is under the control of the Four-Nation Alliance.After a long period of deliberations, a mutually satisfactory plan was reached: the Fagaran League regained the territories previously annexed by the Popon Empire, including the imperial capital of Wisbat, which took the largest area of land.The Venola Nation reclaimed the land that had previously belonged to the Elven Race, and nearly eighty percent of the northern lands were reverted to the Elven Queen's rule.The Starflame Kingdom did not claim any land.Because there is a large forest of Lola between the Popon Empire and the Starflame Kingdom, and the two countries do not have an inch of territory bordering, so even if they get land, it is still an enclave, and it is not easy to govern, so they simply don't want it.However, the Starflame Kingdom received many other benefits from the Fagaran Alliance, and it was also regarded as a large amount of money for the expedition.The Kingdom of Dawnlight only received most of the eastern land, including Einbek, which was smaller than the one divided by the Vinola Commentators.Having said that, after the annexation of this land, the territory of the Dawnlight Kingdom still reached an unprecedented vastness, and it was the giant of this continent.The reason why the Dawnlight Kingdom did not take the majority of the land was mainly because the remnants of the Popon Empire were still dormant in various places, and the larger the area of land divided, the more difficult it was to govern, and it would take several years to deal with this matter.In addition, the nobles in the western part of the empire will certainly not rest on their laurels, and it is very likely that they will form new states like the Fagaran League, and continue to invade the surrounding countries in the days to come.It's just that if you want to go to the eastern land, you can avoid being harassed by them and save a lot of worry.Owen obviously didn't want to waste too much time on these things, so it was better to let the Fagaran League deal with it slowly, and he was concentrating on domestic development.Of course, if the land is not divided, it will have to be compensated from other aspects, and the Dawnlight Kingdom has taken sixty percent of the treasure from the treasury of the Popon Empire.This large sum of war money, after deducting the part of the pensions and other subsidies paid to the families of the martyrs, will be used by Owen for national construction and economic development.Money only works when it is in circulation, and if it is stored in a vault, it is just a precious metal and has no use.Not only that, but the Dawnlight Kingdom also demanded a large amount of livestock, food, population and other important resources as compensation, and the other three countries had no objection to this."
That's right."
After the partition plan was decided, Duke Barceló suddenly asked, "I heard that the relevant information of the magic stone soldiers is stored in the underground of this castle, is that so?"
King Wales. ”"Yes."
Owen calmly told everyone the set of rhetoric prepared in advance: "However, it is really a pity that Emperor Nicholas had all these materials burned before the decisive battle in order to prevent other countries from obtaining these materials. ”"Was it really ordered by Emperor Nicholas to be destroyed?"
In this regard, the Duke of Barceló questioned: "I am worried that someone has secretly hidden the information of the magic stone soldiers and created the illusion of burning them to deceive us. ”The Morninglight Kingdom army was the first to enter the castle to search, and Duke Barceló was obviously suspicious of Owen.The strength of the magic stone soldiers has been heard of by the representatives of various countries, and they have really aroused a lot of interest in it.Hearing this, Owen smiled coldly and made the other party's words clear on the spot."
Are you saying that I smuggled the information of the Magic Stone Soldier?""
I definitely didn't mean that."
Duke Barceló hurriedly shook his head and denied, "At the decisive battle in the imperial capital, there was chaos in the city.I'm just worried that someone will take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace and castle, steal the materials of the magic stone soldiers, and then burn some unimportant materials to create an illusion.After all, the Magic Stone Soldiers are so dangerous, and I believe you don't want to find traces of the Magic Stone Soldiers in your own country in the future, right?
”That being said, what he was really worried about was that after this battle, countries would secretly study the magic stone soldiers, and if the Morning Light Kingdom, which might have hidden the information, created the magic stone soldiers in advance, it would pose a serious security threat to other countries.Owen had already seen through Duke Barceló's true thoughts, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said slowly: "Although the magic stone soldiers are powerful, they still lost to our army in the end, and the Morning Light Kingdom does not need and will not take the initiative to research and manufacture magic stone soldiers in the future." ”
