Because of Xu Yi's return, the Kandla Empire's offensive against the Mana Magic Kingdom suddenly slowed down, and even stopped for a while. The Mana Magic Kingdom did not take this opportunity to launch a counterattack, and both sides seemed to have tacitly decided to stop the war at the same time.
However, everyone was very clear that whether it was the Kandla Empire or the Mana Magic Kingdom, they were actually waiting for Xu Yi's reaction.
But Xu Yi had already returned to Sines for nearly half a year in the blink of an eye, but he had never publicly expressed any views on the war between the two countries.
The New Flyer officials were still the same as before, doing things according to their own plans, and also did not have any plans to deeply intervene in the war between the two countries.
This kind of stable yet somewhat strange situation continued for a long time, and just when everyone thought that the Kandla Empire might choose to stop the war because of Xu Yi's attitude, the Kandla Empire suddenly launched a full-scale and fierce offensive against the Mana Magic Kingdom, and captured even more of the Mana Magic Kingdom's territory.
Countless people were very shocked by the Kandla Empire's sudden action.
The Candra Empire doing this, could it be that they weren't worried about angering Xu Yi and causing the Frestech Chamber of Commerce to interfere?
But the New Flyer was still indifferent to this, as if it had nothing to do with them at all.
As for Xu Yi … … He had never shown his face in public, so of course, no one knew his true thoughts.
So the Kandla Empire's offensive against the Mana Magic Kingdom continued to strengthen, and after another two months, the Mana Magic Kingdom finally could not hold on and chose to surrender to the Kandla Empire.
Of course, the avatar did not mean that the Mana Magic Kingdom was destroyed.
Even if the Kandla Empire's strength had greatly surpassed the Mana Magic Kingdom, it was almost impossible to completely destroy such a huge country like the Mana Magic Kingdom.
The avatar chosen by the Mana Magic Kingdom was only agreeing to the various conditions proposed by the Kandla Empire and signing a ceasefire agreement with the Kandla Empire.
No one knew the specific content of this ceasefire agreement, but according to the Kandla Empire's official disclosure, one could know that the Mana Magic Kingdom had paid a huge price.
One of the most important conditions was that the Mana Magic Kingdom actually allowed the Kandla Empire to directly station 13 cities in the northwest territory of the Mana Magic Kingdom.
This condition was almost equivalent to declaring that the sovereignty of the Mana Magic Kingdom had been greatly infringed.
In addition to the garrisons, the various resources within the Mana Magic Kingdom were fully opened to the Kandla Empire. Therefore, the price they had to pay was immeasurable.
However, what really surprised people was not the painful price that the Mana Magic Kingdom had paid, but the fact that the name of the Lampari Kingdom had actually appeared in the ceasefire agreement.
The various resources within the Mana Magic Kingdom were not only opened to the Kandla Empire, but also to the Lampari Kingdom.
Once this news was released, it immediately caused countless people to be surprised.
Why would the Lampari Kingdom participate in this?
Could it be that the Lampari Kingdom had secretly cooperated with the Kandla Empire and had actually contributed greatly to the war against the Mana Magic Kingdom?
Otherwise, with the strength of the Kandla Empire, why would they share a piece of the fat meat that was already in their mouth with the Lampari Kingdom?
However, what really surprised the people of the Sines was still to come.
After the Kandla Empire and the Mana Magic Kingdom officially signed the ceasefire agreement, it announced that after eleven years, the war that had caused unrest in the Sines had finally come to an end. However, it also announced that the situation in the Sines had once again undergone a huge change.
In the middle of May, year 3816 of the Continental Calendar, the Kandla Empire, the Malor Empire, and the Lampari Kingdom announced at the same time that the "Continental Peace Treaty" had expired last year. In order to restore order in the Sines and ensure that the Sines would continue to maintain the "peaceful development" path proposed by the New Flyer President Xu Yi, they needed to re-discuss this matter.
At the beginning of June, at the invitation of the three countries, more than a hundred representatives of the Sines gathered in the capital of the Kandla Empire, Wimbledon City. Together, they participated in the "Continental Stability Discussion Conference" hosted by the Kandla Empire to further discuss the situation in the Sines.
After twenty-six days of intense discussion, finally, the "Treaty on the Restriction of the Proliferation of Military Magic Machines" proposed by the Kandla Empire, the Malor Empire, and the Lampari Kingdom was approved by the majority of the countries.
Out of the one hundred and seventeen countries that participated in the conference, twelve countries declared that they were against the treaty, twenty-six countries declared that they were in agreement, and the remaining seventy-nine countries all signed their names on the treaty.
Following the "Continental Peace Treaty" and the "Continental Magician Peace Treaty" that were led by the New Flyer twelve years ago, this was another treaty that received widespread agreement in the Sines.
In this "Treaty on the Restriction of the Proliferation of Military Magic Machines", it was clearly stated that in order to maintain the peaceful development of the Sines, the military magic machines, which were powerful weapons, must be sufficiently restricted.
Therefore, from the date of the signing of this treaty, no country was allowed to casually transfer the military magic machine related technology that was already in their possession and mentioned in the treaty. Moreover, research related to military magic machines had to be carried out within a controlled range and could not exceed the limit.
If this was violated, the corresponding country would be unanimously condemned and sanctioned by the other countries that signed the treaty.
Compared to the "Continental Peace Treaty" that the New Flyer advocated, which didn't even allow countries to privately research and develop military magic machine related technology, this "Treaty on the Restriction of the Proliferation of Military Magic Machines" was undoubtedly a lot more relaxed.
After all, this new treaty didn't strictly restrict the research and development of military magic machine related technology by each country, and it also didn't completely restrict the exchange and transfer of military magic machine related technology. It could be said that it was a lot more relaxed.
Of course, everyone understood that the ones that were truly in control of this treaty were the two empires, the Lampari Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, and other countries that were rumored to have large amounts of military magic machine technology.
As for the other small countries that weren't strong enough, they could only bow their hands and follow orders. How could they dare to disobey?
If they really disobeyed, they could only end up like those countries that didn't sign the treaty at the conference.
In July, the Kandla Empire, the Malor Empire, the Lampari Kingdom, the Kingdom of Ruhr, the Nozdormu Business Union Kingdom, the Duchy of Wales, and the rest of the 79 countries that signed the "Treaty on the Restriction of the Proliferation of Military Magic Machines" simultaneously announced that they would no longer have any economic dealings with these 12 countries. They also prohibited any citizens of these 12 countries from entering these 79 countries. At the same time, they also restricted the citizens of these 12 countries from entering these 79 countries.
Once this news spread, it immediately caused a commotion in the entire continent.
When the major newspapers reported on this matter, they easily noticed an important problem.
The 12 countries that were simultaneously sanctioned by these 79 countries were the 12 countries that clearly opposed the "Treaty on the Restriction of the Proliferation of Military Magic Machines" at the conference last month.
Thus, everyone understood that this was clearly a blatant retaliation against these twelve countries. It could also be said that the seventy-nine countries that signed the treaty, or more accurately, it was a demonstration of strength by the two empires and several emerging countries that represented them.
It was clear that the two empires and the Lampari Kingdom wouldn't allow anyone to oppose this treaty that they proposed.
And according to the in-depth analysis of some newspapers, this action represented a deeper meaning.
The two empires and the Lampari Kingdom clearly wanted to use this treaty to set the rules of the game, and then include all the countries on the Sines into their own rules of the game.
It was clear that the two empires and the Lampari Kingdom already had a deep foundation in the research of military magic machines. They definitely wanted to prevent other countries from catching up to or even surpassing them in this area. Thus, they proposed this treaty together to restrict other countries.
This way, other countries wouldn't be able to make any progress in the research of military magic machines, and naturally wouldn't be able to compare with them in terms of military strength.
Thus, as long as nothing unexpected happened, in the end, only the two empires and the Lampari Kingdom would be left on the Sines. They would have the strongest military magic machines and corresponding military strength, and the other countries could only bow their heads and listen to them.
Don't want to listen?
Although the two empires and the Lampari Kingdom signed the "Treaty on the Restriction of the Proliferation of Military Magic Machines", they didn't sign it, and didn't even mention renewing the "Continental Peace Treaty". This meant that they had the right to start a war at any time.
In front of them, which country dared to be inconsiderate?
To put it bluntly, the countries that wanted to express their opposition at the conference weren't just the twelve countries. However, the reason why more countries chose to sign the treaty was because they were afraid of the two empires and the Lampari Kingdom.
But because of this, some people expressed their doubts.
The two empires, and even the Lampari Kingdom, came out to stir up trouble and put on a posture of wanting to control the Sines. Then, what about the New Flyer, who should be the most powerful and have the most power to express their stance?
If the New Flyer expressed their opposition to this treaty, then wouldn't this treaty be just a piece of paper?
However … … When everyone focused their attention on the New Flyer, they discovered that the New Flyer still didn't express any opinion. This was because there was an extremely important matter for the New Flyer that was approaching.
That matter was … … Freya's 25th birthday.
