On the 1st day of the 11th month, when the chill of early winter descended on most of the Sines, a piece of news spread across the entire continent.
The Kandla Empire, the New Flyer, and the Kingdom of Ruhr had negotiated for half a month and finally signed a ceasefire agreement.
When this news spread out, it didn't shock many people.
Ever since half a month ago, the Kandla Empire and the Malor Empire lost to the Kingdom of Ruhr on the Sera Plains, this result was already set in stone.
It could be said that this result was the best result for the Kandla Empire.
This was because if the New Flyer didn't plan to stop the war and continued to attack the Kandla Empire with the Kingdom of Ruhr, then the Kandla Empire wouldn't have any ability to stop them.
If the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer were even more ruthless, it was very likely that the Kandla Empire would be torn apart or even destroyed.
No one believed that the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer had the ability to completely conquer the Kandla Empire, but no one doubted their ability.
Therefore, when the news of the ceasefire agreement spread out, most people's first reaction was to let out a sigh of relief.
Since there was a conflict between the two sides at the beginning of last year and the war, before signing the armistice at the end of this year, even if the war only lasted for a year and a half, it affected countless countries and most of the people on the Sines Continent.
Because of the war, the lives of many people in the Sines were severely affected.
The most obvious example was that because of the war, the countries in the southwest corner of the continent that were under the New Flyer's faction suffered a severe blow to their foreign trade.
Although this had the greatest impact on these countries, it also had a great impact on the countries that traded with them.
For example, because these few countries had already popularized agricultural magic machines and used the special fertilizer of the Elves, their grain production was extremely high. Therefore, they were able to export large amounts of grain at a low price.
Many countries relied on these few countries to export grain to them. In the end, because of the war in these two years, these few countries' grain exports were also affected and there were even situations of famine in a few countries.
Now that the New Flyer and the Kandla Empire had finally signed the ceasefire agreement, the merchants who couldn't hold back for a long time had already reorganized their trade routes. An unending stream of grain was instantly sent on the way, quickly alleviating the famine in these few countries.
Of course, this was only a small part of the effects after the ceasefire agreement was signed. What people were concerned about was the specific conditions in this ceasefire agreement.
Logically speaking, the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer had clearly won and forced the Kandla Empire to sign the ceasefire agreement. Therefore, this ceasefire agreement should be extremely beneficial to the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer.
However, considering that the Kandla Empire was an old empire with a history of nearly a thousand years, even if the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer obtained an advantage on the battlefield with their military magic machines, it would be very difficult for them to force the Kandla Empire to sign such a ridiculous agreement.
Therefore, people were very curious about the contents of the agreement.
The Kingdom of Ruhr was fine. After all, the war in the Sines wasn't the first or second time. The ceasefire agreement between the two countries wasn't much of a big deal.
What people were really curious about was that a Chamber of Commerce like the New Flyer was able to sign a ceasefire agreement with a huge empire like the Kandla Empire. This was the first time in the history of the Sines.
Moreover, the New Flyer was only a Chamber of Commerce in the end. It wasn't like the Kingdom of Ruhr who had a lot of requirements that could be guessed. What kind of conditions would it propose?
However, no matter if it was the New Flyer or the Kandla Empire, they didn't talk about the ceasefire agreement. They didn't reveal the specific conditions at all.
However, after signing the ceasefire agreement, the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer quickly withdrew from the Kandla Empire's territory. Presumably, the conditions that the Kandla Empire agreed to should have satisfied the Kingdom of Ruhr and the New Flyer. Otherwise, they wouldn't have withdrawn so quickly.
However, for the Kandla Empire, signing the ceasefire agreement was only the beginning.
Because of the continuous victories of the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Kandla Empire, even without the influence of the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Kingdom of Ruhr, it was already in chaos.
Not to mention, just the dozen provinces that declared independence were enough to make the Kandla Empire's royal family anxious.
Although the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Kingdom of Ruhr retreated, it wasn't that easy to stabilize the chaotic situation in the Kandla Empire.
Most people felt that even if the Malor Empire didn't stab the Kandla Empire in the back at this time, the Kandla Empire would have to spend a lot of effort to stabilize the chaotic situation in the country.
On November 9th, the Malor Empire, the Lampari Kingdom, and the Drake Duchy announced to the public that the two sides signed a ceasefire agreement.
This meant that after the Kandla Empire was forced to sign the ceasefire agreement, the other pillar of the two empires, the Malor Empire, was also forced to announce the end of the war.
Although it was slightly different from the Kandla Empire that was forced to sign the ceasefire agreement, everyone could see that the Malor Empire obviously paid a huge price.
After all, in the battle on the Sela Plain, the Malor Empire also sent a large number of reinforcements to fight against the Kingdom of Ruhr and the Kandla Empire, but they suffered a crushing defeat together.
Obviously, the Malor Empire also realized that they couldn't fight against the army that had the support of the New Flyer military magic machines. Therefore, instead of being completely defeated like the Kandla Empire, or even being only one step away from breaking into the capital, it was better to recognize the situation in advance and pay a sufficient price to stop the war.
As for the specific content of the ceasefire agreement, the Malor Empire, the Lampari Kingdom, and the Drake Duchy did not announce it.
However, it was still possible to see some clues from the subsequent measures taken to deal with the situation.
The most obvious example was the Frankish Kingdom's government in exile that had been sheltered by the Malor Empire announced the dissolution of the Frankish Kingdom.
At the same time, the Sack Kingdom's emperor who had been doing all kinds of things with the support of the Marlow Empire also disappeared without a trace.
This meant that the Sack Kingdom had disappeared from history.
As for the Lampari Kingdom and the Drake Duchy, according to the agreement they had signed, they divided the territory of the Sack Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom.
Of course, the Lampari Kingdom took most of it, which was almost all of the Sack Kingdom and most of the Frankish Kingdom. The Drake Duchy only took less than twenty thousand square kilometers of the Sack Kingdom and less than half of the Frankish Kingdom's territory.
Like this, the Lampari Kingdom's territory had doubled. It had gone from a normal kingdom in the southwest corner of the continent to a superpower that was second only to the two empires.
The Drake Duchy's territory had expanded even more. It had gone from a small duchy of less than ten thousand square kilometers to a large country of over two hundred thousand square kilometers.
With such a large country, of course it couldn't be considered a small duchy.
On the seventeenth of the eleventh month, during the Drake Duchy's annual founding celebration, Archduchess Caroline announced that she had ascended to the throne, becoming the first queen of the Drake Duchy.
From this day forth, the Drake Duchy had become the Drake Kingdom.
As for the Lampari Kingdom, they didn't have such an obvious event. They just absorbed large amounts of new territory and encouraged the merchants of the Lampari Kingdom to invest in the new territory.
The Lampari Kingdom had always done these things before, but because they were in different countries, they were restricted.
Now that the Sack Kingdom and the Frankish Kingdom no longer existed, the hindrance had disappeared, so the Lampari Kingdom's actions naturally became faster.
On the twenty-third of the eleventh month, the Wales Duchy with the help of the New Flyer's guards broke through the Drow Kingdom's royal city, Drow City. King Wark had died in the battle to defend the royal palace and Drow City had fallen, announcing the end of the Drow Kingdom.
On the same day, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom that had been silently defending suddenly launched a full scale counterattack.
The Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom's army that had received large amounts of military magic machines from the New Flyer used less than half a month to win thirteen battles, repelling all the enemies that had besieged them.
After that, the southeast Sines responded to the call of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom and signed the « Southeast Sines Trade Treaty », which was referred to as the « Southeast Treaty ».
According to the contents of the « Southeast Treaty », the thirteen companies under the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom would have full trading rights in the southeast countries.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that with the powerful business ability of the thirteen companies of the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, as well as the powerful magic machine industry they had obtained after cooperating with the New Flyer, once they obtained full trading rights, the entire southeast corner of the continent would belong to these thirteen companies.
However ….. the situation was stronger than people. Even if the southeast countries weren't willing to sign this treaty, they couldn't do anything.
On the twenty-ninth of the eleventh month, the Mana Magic Kingdom announced that they had signed a ceasefire agreement with the New Flyer.
Like this, the war between the two empires and the New Flyer that had lasted a year and a half, almost affecting the entire Sines had finally come to an end.
In the history of the Sines, a war that affected such a wide range only took a year and a half to end, this was the first time.
In history, there had been an all-out war between the two empires that lasted a full twenty-three years.
Of course, everyone understood that the reason why it ended so quickly was because the military magic machines of the New Flyer were too powerful. There was no suspense at all on the battlefield.
Then ….. the other countries that participated in the war had already announced their results. What was the New Flyer doing?
