Chapter 685 "Conditions"

"Everyone step back twenty steps."

Ragon signaled to the soldiers around him to put down their guns. Although this confrontation was extremely critical, it probably had nothing to do with the firepower in the hands of these ordinary people.

The chief pastor's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he still suppressed his vigilance and said politely:

"Father Lavoisier, I dare not ask you questions like 'Are you kidding?' But it is difficult for me to answer you easily when you make such a suggestion."

"Indeed." The pastor behind him also said, "Mr. Saint Lavoisier, you are really putting us in a difficult position by using your status to pressure us. For negotiations of this level, His Majesty the 19th Janinger of your church should write the letter to the headquarters of our Lingyin Discipline Society."

Listening to the words of the two official organizers, Father Alexis, who was dragged here by Fan Ning, suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

He knew that it was probably time for his subordinate to come forward to explain and negotiate!

Master Lavoisier is a saint who guides the church. What he said is about reason, setting the tone and pointing the direction. It should all be written in the Gospel! Now that they are talking about a truce, when this instruction is brought back to Janus, it will most likely be put on the agenda to see how to make a truce. This is indeed a big deal, but in the thousands of years of history of the church, the ups and downs of wars like this are only recorded in a few paragraphs.

That's right, every word in the Gospel of Lavoisier is a classic. As a witness to history, he should let future generations understand the meaning and principles behind the deeds. How could he possibly tell these foreigners too many details? More details of the armistice negotiations, that's what his subordinates should consider!
Thinking of this, Alexi glanced at the other deacon next to him, signaling the latter to quickly take out a pen and paper and write down the key points first, so as not to miss anything!
He stepped forward and spoke, introducing himself and his rank, then said, "Great Reverend Ragon, I am not a bishop yet, and my rank is not equal to yours, but I would like to share a few personal views here."

"From ancient times to the present, every war started because some issues were not agreed upon. You didn't give me what I wanted, he thought what you gave was too little, I didn't recognize what he advocated. And wars don't go on endlessly. Whether it's long or short, it's nothing more than a 'truce agreement' to renegotiate the issues!"

"You might as well listen to Father Lavoisier's instructions and some general opinions. It's normal that you can't make up your mind. You can take all the conditions back and report to your Pope. We can't decide all the details at once and implement Father Lavoisier's instructions within a few days. You and I can contact each other later to discuss how to determine the specific terms."

Father Alexis was a man of active mind and had a certain "political sensitivity".

Otherwise, he would not have gone through so much trouble to give up the favorable conditions of the priest position in the inland area and apply to the church for a horizontal transfer to the Apel war zone where the conditions are difficult.

In his view, this place is where Father Lavoisier himself presided over the sacrament of confession, and serving here definitely has a special meaning of "gilding"!

As a result, today's bizarre experience proved that this is not as simple as "gilding" - Father Lavoisier chose to appear here as the first stop after his return, and found it directly on himself!

The future is bright, and I have a bright future in the future!

But despite his excitement, Alexis, who was negotiating with the other party, still kept a cautious and calm mind.

That is, when it comes to signing a ceasefire agreement, whoever of the warring parties takes the initiative to propose it first will suffer a little loss!

Or, at least it will cause the other side to wonder whether they no longer want to bear the consumption of continuing to fight and whether they intend to cut their losses and make concessions!
Alexius the priest had no doubt about Lavoisier's disrespectful intentions, but it was indeed his side that first proposed the "advice" for a truce, so his last words not only maintained his superior's high profile, but also deliberately did not say "too much", anyway, the terms of the truce agreement would be negotiated by both parties when they returned. It must be said that Alexius was indeed a sharp-minded "old hand", and he guessed correctly.

Lagun listened to these words with uncertainty at first, but in the end, he looked at the other priests and nodded in agreement.

Could it be that Janus really didn't want to fight anymore?
Humph, not only is the fight difficult for me, it seems that my opponents can't hold on any longer. In this case, I have to tense up until the last moment, grit my teeth and become stronger, so that these Janus people will bleed even more in the armistice agreement!

"You can do as this priest brother said." Fanning pointed at Alexius on his side, and then spoke calmly to Lagun who was thinking secretly, "During the harvest festival this year, Janus will withdraw his troops from the southern kingdom. You people of Lydia also recognize your own Lord. If He gives you wisdom and orders you to swear in silence that you will never enter the territory of Apelles with swords in hand, you will also be in harmony with the neighboring people."

Withdraw troops from the South?
The two priests standing behind Fanning and the five pastors on the other side all sensitively captured the key words from Fanning's mouth.

Will this be one of the important conditions that Janus will give in the next "armistice agreement"?

Could it be that Janus is preparing to withdraw completely and no longer participate in the "enclosure struggle" that is now in full swing among various countries for the large amount of wasteland in the southern continent?

Father Alexis could not help but think further.

in fact
On the one hand, Janus's current combat status in the Apelle border battlefield can be said to be in a stalemate, but it is far from a decline. The existence of the "Lavoisier Gospel" makes the soldiers' faith very strong and their fighting spirit is extremely high. On the other hand, Janus has fought more beautifully in the "enclosure struggle" in the South. Although he cannot compare with the most powerful Theolaine, the Prideful Sun Army has firmly controlled the area of ​​the former Missin city-state and spread to the two surrounding archipelagos.

Not only did they lose blood for the war ahead, but in the long run, they might even be able to "return their investment and make a profit"! In comparison, the benefits that Lydia has gained from the division of the southern continent are only a pitiful small piece.

Are you just going to give up this piece of fat meat?

There are so many factions in the church, some advocating war, some advocating peace, some advocating secularism, and some advocating asceticism. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to reach a highly unified opinion, right?

Of course, Lavoisier could say whatever he wanted about such high-level decisions involving core interests, but Father Alex did not dare to comment on it. He just paid close attention and thought about it.

"Master Lavoisier is a just man who regards worldly interests as nothing, unlike the rest of us who are anxiously scheming day and night." Alex thought for a moment and said admiringly.

Fanning couldn't help but glance at him.

Drill your ass.
I am much more anxious than you.

If you guys keep messing around like this in the South Country, the last bunch of “flower-touched people” left in the Fragrant Flower Temple will soon have their hair cut off!!
