Three Magic Sedans that looked very luxurious drove through the north gate of Babral City and slowly stopped in front of the fully armed New Flyer guards.
The back door opened and the Kandla Empire's commerce minister Descartes Marquis came out with his group.
When they got out, there was a cool breeze that blew onto Descartes Marquis, but it didn't make him feel cold at all, rather there was a bit of warmth in it.
Descartes Marquis couldn't help looking up at the sky. He found that the sun was in the sky and the sunlight was bright, but it wasn't dazzling and wasn't hot. It was the best weather for people to enjoy at the beginning of spring.
It was already the end of April and it would be May in a few days, so it was natural that there would be this kind of good weather.
But with this warm spring breeze, Descartes Marquis didn't feel any warmth in his heart at all. Rather it was like the winter hadn't completely passed and there was still a bit of coldness in his heart.
As the commerce minister of the strongest empire on the continent, the Kandla Empire, he had to lead a group of envoys to negotiate with others, so how could he not feel cold in his heart?
Descartes Marquis turned to look at the other members of the group and found that they all had unhappy expressions. It could be seen that they were just as unhappy as he was.
The powerful Kandla Empire had always forced others to negotiate with them, when had they ever taken the initiative to negotiate with them?
After half a month of discussion between the royal family and the council of elders, they had finally decided to negotiate with the New Flyer. Once it was announced, it created a large stir in the Kandla Empire and created countless voices of opposition.
Almost everyone thought that taking the initiative to negotiate was showing weakness, which was simply the greatest shame to the empire.
In the history of the Kandla Empire, although they had taken the initiative to negotiate several times, the other party was a large empire like the Malor Empire that was on the same level as the Kandla Empire. So taking the initiative to negotiate because the situation wasn't good wasn't that shameful. Anyway, the Malor Empire had taken the initiative to negotiate with the Kandla Empire more often.
But this time, the Kandla Empire had taken the initiative to negotiate with a trivial Kingdom of Ruhr.
To be more clear, everyone knew that the real target of this peace negotiation was just a small company like the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!
A trivial company taking the initiative to lower their heads, how could the proud Kandla people be happy?
However, this was the decision of the royal family and the council of elders, which meant that taking the initiative to negotiate was the consensus of the high level of the empire.
At the same time, this also meant that the high level of the empire had lost confidence in continuing the war with the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer. As such, they had no choice but to use the method of negotiating to temporarily end the war.
Because one of the targets of the negotiation was the New Flyer, objectively speaking, it was just a company, Marquis Descartes, the head of the Kandla Empire's Department of Commerce, was sent to be the leader of this diplomatic group and was mainly in charge of this negotiation.
It was the first time in the history of the Kandla Empire, or even the entire history of the Sines, that an official who mainly dealt with business was in charge of the negotiation.
Of course, being forced to this extent by a company's guards was the first time in the history of the Kandla Empire and the entire Sines.
Marquis Descartes swept his gaze across the fully-armed guards wearing the uniform of the New Flyer and sighed inwardly.
Even if he knew nothing about military affairs, he could tell from the equipment on these guards that the New Flyer's guards far surpassed the Kandla Empire's army.
Most of the Kandla Empire's soldiers were only wearing soft leather armor that couldn't withstand a single blow. The better ones were only wearing half a set of armor and they were holding primitive swords made of fine iron. Apart from that, they were only equipped with a small wooden shield and nothing more.
The New Flyer's guards were wearing bright armor that was definitely made of high hardness steel that the New Flyer had smelted. They weren't holding traditional weapons like swords either. Instead, they were holding a strange-looking weapon that was said to be able to shoot small but powerful magic bullets.
It was said that this weapon, known as the Magic Rifle, had a shooting range of over 200 meters, even surpassing the vast majority of bows and arrows.
This meant that if the soldiers of both sides were to fight, most of the Kandla Empire's soldiers would have died before they could even reach the New Flyer's guards.
Not to mention that the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's guards were carrying a large steel pipe, but it was actually a terrifying weapon called the "Individual Magic Bazooka".
Once this thing was used, the Magic Rocket's range would reach a shocking five hundred meters!
Moreover, the might of the Magic Rocket was incomparably shocking. It could create a giant hole in the ground with a single shot, enough to bury a small army of the Kandla Empire.
If they were to fight head on, the Kandla Empire's soldiers would first be baptized by these terrifying Magic Rockets before charging through the dense firepower of the Magic Rifle. Only then would they have a chance of killing the New Flyer's guards with the traditional swords in their hands.
Because the New Flyer's guards were wearing special armour, even if they didn't activate their Magic Shields, normal swords couldn't pierce through the hard armour at all. Naturally it was impossible to injure these guards at all.
However, what made Descartes, Marquis, and the generals of the army headquarters feel despair was that all of this was based on ignoring the large amount of Magic Cannons, Magic Tanks, and the invincible Magic Airships that the New Flyer's guards had.
If these things were included, the Kandla Empire's soldiers wouldn't even be able to use the Magic Rockets and Magic Rifles of the New Flyer's guards, not to mention charging in front of them to kill them.
This kind of thing had already been proven countless times in the previous battles.
The generals of the army headquarters were well aware of this, but they couldn't find a good way to solve it.
The emperor was also well aware of this, but he also couldn't do a thing.
Before this, the emperor had tried to strengthen the internal control of the empire, using a strong military management during special times. He used the advantage of the Kandla Empire's resources to slowly wear down the New Flyer.
But the New Flyer didn't give the Kandla Empire a chance to drag this out at all.
No one would have thought that the New Flyer would work with the Kingdom of Ruhr's army to attack the Kandla Empire, taking the entire southwest province in just two months.
Moreover, in these battles, the Kandla Empire's army couldn't stop the New Flyer and the Kingdom of Ruhr's army even if they had many powerful Arch Magi.
Reality proved that the Kandla Empire didn't have the ability to drag this out at all.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the emperor and the Council of Elders had no choice but to take the initiative to seek peace with the New Flyer.
To put it bluntly, this was just another delaying tactic.
What the Kandla Empire needed was a large amount of time for their military magic machine research to catch up to the New Flyer. Only then would they have the capital to fight the New Flyer on the battlefield.
Otherwise, if the New Flyer and the Kingdom of Ruhr's army continued to move closer to the Kandla Empire, the Kandla Empire wouldn't be able to stop them. They could only watch as the Kandla Empire's territory slowly devoured and eventually reached Wimbledon City.
Whether it was the emperor or the Council of Elders, they wouldn't allow this to happen, so Descartes Marquis came.
The good thing was that after the Kandla Empire proposed peace talks, the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer directly agreed. They didn't reject them as strongly as many people thought.
After quickly thinking about all of this, Descartes Marquis took a soft breath and calmed the chill and melancholy in his heart. He had a gentle and reserved smile on his face as he walked over to the welcoming crowd.
"Descartes Marquis, welcome to Babral City."
The person in charge of welcoming them was a foreign affairs official sent by the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer's external manager, young miss Soli. Seeing Descartes Marquis get out of the Magic Sedan, the Kingdom of Ruhr's foreign affairs official warmly greeted Descartes Marquis before giving the right to lead to young miss Soli.
Whether it was the Kandla Empire or the Kingdom of Ruhr, they were both clear that whether it was this war or this peace talk, the main character was the New Flyer.
"Young miss Soli, after not seeing you for many years, you're still this beautiful. You're like a flower that has just bloomed, making people sigh in admiration."
No matter what Descartes Marquis thought, he still maintained the good demeanour of a noble on the surface.
Miss Soria, on the other hand, had a completely different style. She simply nodded at Marquis Descartes and made a gesture of invitation.
"Descartes Marquis, please come this way. Sir chairman is waiting for you."
"Oh?
Chairman Xu is already here? "Descartes Marquis' eyes twitched and he couldn't help revealing a look of joy.
The main character of this peace talk was the New Flyer and the main character of the New Flyer was without a doubt their chairman Xu Yi.
For Xu Yi to personally come, it was enough to prove that the New Flyer attached great importance to this peace talk and was very sincere.
