Episode 178. The collapsing wire

Strictly speaking, of all the demons in the world, the polar demons are the ones who communicate the best.

However, there is no other reason why we did not negotiate with them.

There is no way to negotiate.

So, there is no way to call your representative.

The eons were different. If you went to the end of the North Sea, you would reach the polar regions, and through there, you could communicate with Penkant. It was also possible to convey messages to the Ice God.

During the onslaught of the Disease Demons, the Pencant side actually made friendly gestures toward Cheon-Gyeop, ultimately forming the Great Datang Alliance. As mentioned earlier, there was some rapport between the Pencant and the Space Demons.

In a way, these guys are the root of all evil.

Well, that’s fine, but… … . Let’s just hide that fact. Penkant sent a negotiating envoy to the Shujor breakwater front first.

“It’s an air raid! An air raid!”

The soldiers who thought that supplies had arrived and rushed to the castle walls, licking their lips, were surprised to see the members of the Pencant who had gathered approaching them instead of bowing from afar.

He even made a chair out of ice for Daton, and waved a flag in an obviously friendly gesture.

“ok……?”

This strange behavior reached the commander, and then also reached Nononono Hakang. Hakang, who had already produced her third mixed-blood and was pregnant with her fourth child, almost had a miscarriage due to the shock.

“Peace negotiations?! Let’s have peace negotiations?!”

“yes.”

“this person…….”

Hakang, who was about to swear, soon calms down.

“Wait a minute… … . Wait a minute. If you think about it, maybe it’s not so bad?”

Hakang’s goal is not revenge against Penkant. It is the survival of his people.

What if Pencant were to withdraw from the southern front? And if only we could negotiate for him?

Then the Nono and Borin tribes will go to the south or wherever as a rear support force to farm and produce goods, and the race will prosper again. And the war will be fought in the north.

Of course, the elite soldiers should remain in the south in case of an emergency… … But we can still avoid the current dire situation where tens of thousands of people are dying every week.

“Not bad. Send an officer with a communicator. We’ll check if it’s a trap or not.”

First, contact with Penkant is a priority. Hakan thought that the assassins he was training now were not in vain. After all, they weren’t going to be thrown into the polar regions anyway.

And as long as both sides’ circumstances were aligned, the peace talks were progressing quite successfully. To be precise, it was about finding out whether the two sides were willing to talk.

The hope of the Nono tribe, who had been desperately guarding the breakwater front, was Nononono Hakang. As he was gathering the military band again and preparing for enemy air raids, a plump water pig came over from the enemy camp.

It was a surrender envoy! The Pencant side could no longer afford to lose any more lives due to the determination and sacrifice of the Nono tribe and rebelled against their god!

“Sob sob. I’ll do anything if you just end the war!”

But the experienced Hakan did not easily believe such words. Such things do not work on the God of Lies.

“Huh. How can you believe that? You guys are being ignorant, but this time, you might be joining hands with the devil to trap us.”

“I will appoint a guarantor. He is the best in the world.”

“Oh my! The best in the world? Did he say he would cooperate?”

“I have also sounded out your intentions. The Eastern knights will prove our sincerity.”

Then, Nononono Hakang firmly said, “I can’t believe that until the best in the world is brought in personally. However, the war will stop.”

“Huh? You can’t attack me anyway, right?”

“Eight! That sounds good!”

In this way, the contact between the two countries finally ended in harmony, with palms and fins touching each other instead of fighting!

… … Even if Pencant’s conditions weren’t shitty, it would have been the same.

And when he arrived at Shuzor and looked around the situation, Cheonhajeilin realized that this negotiation would not end so easily.

Of course, it’s not that I didn’t know.

I realized that it was more… … difficult. Fundamentally, this negotiation was not with Hakan, but with Liwaduwan.

Nononono Hakang, the best in the world, came and ‘notified’ the North that Penkant and Shujor would be negotiating peace. Mainilun was turned upside down there.

“Peace negotiations?! Who would do that?”

“It’s up to me!”

“No, you don’t have that authority… … .”

“You’re saying to stop Penkant ‘at all costs’? Isn’t diplomacy not included in ‘whatever’ to stop Penkant?”

Liwaduwan frowns deeply.

His plan was to level the Earth and then scorch the polar regions as well, for ultimate and complete security.

But… … if things go this way, it’s impossible. To be exact, if peace negotiations can’t be held here, the South might just open its doors.

He couldn’t bear to see his hometown of Shuzor ruined. Hakan had been the ruler of Shuzor for too long while he was gone. If he were to declare independence or something like that, he wouldn’t be able to handle it anymore.

But if you look at the results only.

“Negotiating with Pencant isn’t so bad.”

“yes?”

“There’s no need to hold the line by force. If you can completely subdue them, it’s better to win through negotiations.”

“thank god.”

“I’m so glad.”

“I was worried that you might say you can’t do this.”

The Minnie Runs also all nodded.

The problem is this part.

Datang, or more precisely, Liwaduwan, thought that if they went to the end of the war, they would win.

But that was the same for Penkant. I really thought that if we went all the way, Datang wouldn’t be able to win.

As a result, the terms of negotiation between the two are greatly distorted.

-The first condition requested by Datang-

First, Penkant will no longer invade Datang permanently.

Second, Pencant pays 429,981,696 Donum (*12^8) as compensation for war damages. The interest on the unpaid amount is 16.67% (1/6) per year.

Third, Pencant will attack the West every season with an army of at least 746,496 men.

-The first condition requested by Pencant-

First, Penkant does not attack Datang unless he receives 35,831,808 (*12^7) donuts per year.

Second, Datang sends 20,736 royal family members or equivalent people to the polar regions as hostages.

Third, trade in the Shuzor region will be permitted.

The best man in the world looked at the conditions from both sides and broke out in a cold sweat.

“This, really… … .”

-It’s difficult. Both sides think they won the war.

The divine sword advises. The best in the world nods and speaks to both sides.

“It seems like both sides think they won the war.”

“of course.”

-of course.

Liwaduwan and the Ice God who has magically settled here speak at the same time. The best in the world is sweating profusely again.

“How about we just fulfill the remaining provisions without asking each other for compensation?”

-We can’t fight anymore. We can’t send troops.

“We don’t even have anyone who can be called royalty. Sending 20,000 pure-blooded Datons? That’s too much. And if we don’t even get compensation, why are we negotiating for peace?”

Both are firm.

“Then how about a non-aggression pact where we don’t attack each other?”

“I reject that too. How can you believe it?”

– Same goes for us. If you don’t have money, you can’t trust them. In the first place, you can’t stop the war permanently without a guarantee.

The best person in the world is worried.

For the sake of the world, and for a lasting peace, we must end the war here. We must prevent at least one death.

The best in the world is troubled. And he tries to find the answer with the divine sword, and gathers information by going back and forth between Mainnirun, the breakwater wire, and the polar region. This process took three years.

And I propose the following negotiation proposal:

“How about this?”

-The world’s best negotiation plan-

First, the two countries enter into a ceasefire.

Second, Datang now recognizes all the Glacier Nobles under Penkant as ‘humans’.

Third, when a person, such as a Datang or Penkant, kills another person, it shall be judged by the law of the victim’s country.

Fourth, the two sides will establish tariff-free and unlimited trade. The two sides will greatly expand the volume of trade with each other, and Datang will maintain a minimum annual trade volume of 200 million dollars or more with Penkant and Penkant with Datang.

Fifth, Penkant and Datang send ‘ambassadors’ to each other’s countries. They open official diplomatic channels for exchanges.

“The first clause is obviously included because it is a peace negotiation, the second and third clauses are to recognize the rights of each country, and the fourth clause is for the benefit of both countries. Trade that is beneficial to both sides cannot be cut off. The fifth clause is not to take hostages, but to recognize each other’s regions as equals.”

-Well, that’s pretty reasonable.

Looking at the clause, Penkant seems to like it. But Liwaduwan does not.

“The only goods we have to sell to Pencant are luxury goods, and it is impossible to produce them in the middle of a war. At the very least, we request additional military support and alliances.”

– Handing over weapons means handing over technology, and we are refusing to send troops. We can’t send even a single one.

“Then the negotiations are concluded… … .”

The best in the world makes a counteroffer here.

“Then how about I join the front line!”

“?!”

-Oh my!

“We owe them a favor. We were able to survive because they helped us in the East. So now we have to repay that favor! How about this world’s best man come out to the front lines and fight?”

Liwaduwan secretly played a musical while tap dancing with Nononono Hakang, but he didn’t show it and asked again.

“That’s fine, but let me ask you this one. It’s a very simple question. If you can answer ‘yes’ to this, the situation will change.”

“Hmm. What is it?”

Liwaduwan asks cautiously. The best in the world just laughs.

“How would I know without even fighting? Let’s just have a go.”

The Invincible One has raised an army again! He plans to attack the Baekara region and end the Datang once and for all.

“Now! I am invincible! Who can stand against me!”

As always, the invincible man runs forward confidently, but someone approaches him from where he is facing.

It has four legs instead of two, maybe a Rulmo? But it is smaller in stature and has yellow and red skin.

He slowly draws the sword from his bosom.

The invincible man who was charging with his entire army felt a chill for a moment. This was because he had judged the rank of those who had gone into battle and they were not insignificant.

But he doesn’t dodge. Instead, he kicks the ground, jumps in, and strikes the club down.

“Invincible strike!!!”

The club, which was swung with the energy of a newcomer, was cut in half by the sword. Before the invincible one could even be shocked, the divine sword clashed with the divine armor, releasing an incredible wave of divine power into the world.

“… … !”

“Young friend. I will gladly take on you!”

The strongest in the West and the strongest in the East.

He who is a ruler but is not an example to anyone, he who is not a ruler but is the foundation of all,

A hero who rebels against the world for himself and a knight who fights against everyone for the world.

A new armor that has lost its ego and a new sword with a distinct ego.

“Do you think I’ll lose? I’m invincible!”

“I see. I am the best in the world!”

Two completely contrasting newcomers face off. The world shakes with the waves of divine power created by their clash.

No matter how many times their sums change, no decisive blow is achieved.

The result of the fight was a draw! The invincible man was unable to defeat the best man in the world. The best man in the world did not allow a single valid hit and just took all of them.

But even the best in the world couldn’t inflict a single wound on the invincible one.

However, from that point on, it was already disadvantageous to the invincible. In the end, the strongest card that Erin could play. The asymmetrical power that could defeat anyone was blocked by the best in the world.

“Ugh. Everyone, charge backwards!”

“Hehehe. Let’s meet again next time.”

And if it ends like this, it will end with Datang’s great victory… … The invincible man stays in the Baekara region and hears strange stories.

“Oh my… …! Are you saying that Datang killed all the Baekkan lords and is now ruling?”

“When I think about how many times they beat up Datang’s back, my teeth still gnash… … .”

“I know. I’m not trying to criticize the outcome of the war. The cruelty is also… … . But shouldn’t we at least give them hope?”

Instead of returning right away, the best in the world stays in the Baekkara region with the excuse that he will block the invincible one when he comes later, and talks to the Baekkans who have already become Datang people after three generations.

“Don’t you even know Waiki?”

“Who are you?”

“He was already famous when I first came to the Baekara region. It is a pity that you have forgotten your great ancestor. Let me tell you the story of my Waiki and those who remained immortal. There once was a Baekhan called Waiki… … .”

Something. Things are getting weird.
