Doctor, I'm really strong!

"Please come in."

A Sarkaz guard entered, saluted, and said, "General, His Highness is waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Manfred arrived at Tracy's study, he found that several important figures were already there.

The Blood Lord, the King of Carrion, and other Sarkaz generals—there might even be a shapeshifter among them who enjoys transforming into others. Unless this shapeshifter explicitly states it, you would have no idea that the person in front of you is a shapeshifter.

A group of Sarkaz high-ranking officials gathered here to discuss the community that had won the war to establish the nation.

However, the royal court leaders present clearly had their own opinions.

The shapeshifters expressed curiosity about Liu Jiuli, and even more so about the community with two demon lords. As for Rhodes Island, it is now considered part of the community.

The Carrion King only cares about what benefit this will bring to the Sarkaz race.

The Blood Demon Lord was filled with longing for this massive war and hoped that he could be included next time.

Therese was listening to the opinions and views of all parties.

After Manfred arrived, he sat in his proper seat. When important figures were speaking, it was wise for him, a little guy, to keep quiet.

At this moment, the shapeshifter spoke up: "I'm planning to go to the Community to take a look. I'm very interested in Liu Jiuli."

Therese nodded: "Perfect timing. I also hope to establish a cooperative relationship with them; it would be good for all of us."

The Blood Demon Lord asked with a smile, "You actually don't intend to kill him?"

Therese shrugged helplessly: "Believe me, you definitely can't beat him."

The King of Carrion said, "We will fully support any decision that benefits the Sarkaz."

Theresis: "Then let's go to the Community and see. It's a pity I have to stay here, otherwise I would really like to see with my own eyes how high the Community's shared ideology can take the Sarkaz."

After the royal court leaders finished their exchange, it was Therese's turn to talk with her confidants. Manfred was unsurprisingly sent to the community as an ambassador, representing Therese.

"What about our cooperation with Deeppool?"

Therese shook her head: "From now on, let's slowly break off. If we stay with those guys who want to madly restore the monarchy, we won't have to cooperate with the Community."

Manfred hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "Your Highness, the book about the Community..."

Therese waved her hand: "Let it spread."

Manfred: "But..."

Therese smiled calmly: "Theresia and I have always had a simple goal. We both hope that the Sarkaz can live with their heads held high in this world. Unfortunately, our paths are incompatible, and we have ended up going in the direction that neither of us wanted to see. If Liu Jiuli can prove that he is right, what's wrong with me stepping down and giving way to a more capable person?"

Manfred slowly lowered his head: "Your Highness, if possible, I still hope that you can lead us."

Therese said nonchalantly, "It's too early to worry about these things now. Who knows what the future holds? The only thing we can do is make the most of the present. Only by making the most of the present can we talk about the future."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Kazdel

"We've won! We've won!"

The entire city had turned into a sea of ​​victory cheers. Locals took to the streets, cheering, embracing, and kissing with tears in their eyes. They needed this victory so much. This victory meant the resurgence of the Sarkaz. They had proven themselves, and no one would dare to look down on them again, because their leader was Liu Jiuli, their Demon King, and they belonged to a great nation called the Terra People's Community.

"Great, we won, we survived."

Yan Rong put down the magic dagger in her hand and removed the other equipment from her body. A long-lost sense of ease enveloped her.

At that moment, all she wanted to do was fall asleep immediately and sleep until she woke up naturally.

"We won! That's great!"

Yan Rong looked up and saw Shining dressed in a black robe. Although she was still dressed in her old clothes, underneath the black robe was a full set of flexible exoskeleton combat suit. Because Shining herself was very strong, her equipment was specially made.

However, in most cases, Shining serves as a battlefield medic and only intervenes when absolutely necessary.

Following up on Shining's words, Yanrong said, "Yes, we won. Is there anything you'd like to do next?"

Shining thought for a moment and said, "As for me, I'll continue to be a good doctor. There are a lot of wounded people lately, so I'll be busy for a while. What about you, Yanrong?"

Yan Rong rested his chin on his hand and said, "As for me, I want to get a certificate and become a teacher who teaches Originium Arts."

The community is currently promoting compulsory education, and Originium Arts is part of that compulsory education. Liu Jiuli's goal is to bring Originium Arts down to earth and make it a technology that everyone can use.

The project was already underway during the Red Guard era, but it is now being promoted by the official state. The project also has a nice name: "Suirenshi Project".

For the vast majority of ordinary people, Originium Arts, especially formal Originium Arts training, is truly a great contribution, like lighting a spark, which will elevate the development level of the entire civilization.

A primitive civilization with only a few powerful deities to uphold its authority is still like a primitive monkey practicing slash-and-burn agriculture. Only when everyone practices law can civilization truly be elevated.

Shining looked up into the distance: "Perhaps, my Originium Arts can also be passed on."

Section 239: Yan Kingdom Submits

(This is the second update for today. Thank you all for your support. I will try my best to update more often. 😂)

With the war escalating to this point, the Grand Tutor, as the representative going to the Community for peace negotiations, was well aware that his job was to take the blame.

But what can be done? We can't let Emperor Yan take the blame. What use would a subject be then? Even if he was unwilling, he still had to go to the negotiations.

However, after setting off, the Grand Tutor discovered that he did not need to go to the community, because Liu Jiuli had gone to the front line.

Furthermore, the Red Army advanced a considerable distance and was on the verge of reaching the gates of Beijing.

The situation was getting worse, which forced him to quicken his pace and head to the front lines.

At the same time, a peace request telegram from the Yan Kingdom was delivered to Liu Jiuli.

"Make sure the front lines are ready to attack at any time, and give a proper welcome to the negotiating representatives from Yan Country."

Although the community is now unable to continue fighting, we cannot give the enemy the illusion that there is hope. Therefore, the front-line troops should maintain an offensive posture, but there is no need to attack. Just flexing our muscles a little is enough.

For example, land-based ships, heavy artillery, and rocket barrages.

Just as Taifu arrived at the Yan Army's fortress at the front line, the Red Army launched a round of rocket bombardment. In an instant, the whole world turned into a dark hell. The Yan Army's position after the explosion was deathly silent, as if there were no living people left there.

The Grand Tutor's expression grew much more somber. It seemed the Red Army still possessed considerable offensive capabilities. Although he didn't know how they had managed it, this was definitely not good news for Yan. "The upcoming negotiations will be very difficult."

The next day, after both sides confirmed the details, the Grand Tutor and the Yan Kingdom delegation arrived at the Red Army's camp to conduct negotiations on the other side's home turf, which showed that the Yan Kingdom no longer had any initiative.

Even if you know the situation is bad, you can't show cowardice as a negotiator.

The Grand Tutor secretly clutched his few remaining trump cards, determined to fight to the very last moment.

What he didn't know was that Liu Jiuli didn't have many cards left either, but he was good at disguising himself, making the other party think that he still had a hand of cards that he hadn't played yet.

At the start of the negotiations, the Grand Tutor took the initiative.

"You too are a person who receives a salary from the emperor, why would you betray your own country!"

Such questioning could indeed inflict real harm on those with traditional feudal monarchical and ministerial ideas, but for Liu Jiuli, it was no different from farting.

Liu Jiuli sneered, "Traitor? Perfect. I'm going to investigate the biggest traitor in Yan Kingdom who betrayed the people and their faith! Let's start from 1,500 years ago."

Grand Tutor's heart skipped a beat. As a high-ranking official of Yan Kingdom, he was naturally qualified to know some things, such as the true origin of Yan Kingdom. He did not expect that Liu Jiuli would know this biggest secret. However, it is not surprising that someone who can master the Dragon Slaying Technique would know these things.

So where did Liu Jiuli get all these things from? And where did the secrets get leaked?

Speaking of which, the matter of Jie back then was also unclear. Many investigations were completely incomplete or had no beginning or end. It was as if everything happened out of thin air, making it impossible to guard against.

However, the words had already been spoken and could not be reversed halfway through. But the truth of history could not be revealed in this way, so the Grand Tutor immediately said, "My Great Yan may have its faults, but you can try a different approach. Why force me to do this?"

This translates to: I'm giving in, I admit defeat, please stop talking, please stop talking.

It's so embarrassing. I've become like this after just two rounds. But there's nothing I can do. The card Liu Jiuli has is too terrifying. Even just revealing it is enough to shake the legitimacy of Yan Kingdom's existence.

If this were a time of peace and prosperity in the Yan Kingdom, such things would be mere rumors. However, in today's Yan Kingdom, where internal conflicts are constantly escalating, any slight disturbance is enough to shake the foundations of the country. Moreover, what someone of Liu Jiuli's stature produces must be a historical text with pictures and evidence. In the end, it will be the entire ruling class of the Yan Kingdom that suffers.

They can't deal with Liu Jiuli, but it would be easy for them to cause trouble for me, their Grand Tutor.

I told you not to talk back! I told you not to talk back! I'll beat you to death!

Liu Jiuli smiled slightly, and without wasting any words, directly took out a document and handed it to the Grand Tutor.

"There is only yes or no, there is no third option."

This was the condition being stated, and the Grand Tutor immediately picked up the list and began to read it.

After reading it, he felt a mix of emotions.

Good news: The community has no territorial claims against Yan.

Bad news: The community is demanding that Yan open its markets and engage in free trade.

As for war reparations, it's a common practice between belligerent nations. It's the loser paying war reparations to the victor. Everyone does it this way. Since Yan was defeated, it has to pay the price.

The community's compensation demand was 500 tons of gold, which was painful, but not enough to make Yan Kingdom risk its life for it.

As for haggling, just look at Liu Jiuli's "no way" expression, and the Grand Tutor knows that no matter how hard he tries, it's useless.

But we still need to put in the necessary effort, and the other staff members working with us also need to get involved. We can't just admit defeat without doing anything; if that gets back, we'll be left with nothing to live with.

This is the same principle as having to work overtime even if there is no output. Even if you don't achieve anything, you still put in the effort. It's not about how much value you create in the process, but about making the boss feel that hiring you is valuable.

Let's just argue about it then. Anyway, Liu Jiuli is planning something big next, like crushing the Yan army at the front.

Looking at the entire Yan Kingdom, it is still possible to assemble a few elite troops, but the mobilization of these troops will take time. As for the troops in front of us, they are at most a group of militiamen who are fairly conscientious in their duties.

If they really launch a charge, they'll collapse in one round.

And that was indeed the case. On the third day of the negotiations, the Red Army suddenly launched an attack on the Yan Army at the front. The Yan Army, under the suppression of the supervisory team, barely managed to hold their ground in the anti-artillery bunkers. But when the bugle sounded, they collapsed. Even the suppression from the supervisory team was useless, because the fleeing soldiers would bring down the supervisory team as well.

Upon learning of all this, the Grand Tutor immediately sought out Liu Jiuli.

"We are negotiating. Why do you want to start another war and cause such bloodshed!"

"That's strange. Did I promise you a ceasefire?"

"..."

Okay, he really didn't agree to that. Obviously, a gentleman's agreement is completely useless here. Liu Jiuli's attitude is simple and clear: if you're not willing to back down, I'll beat you until you do.

With the Red Army poised to continue its advance, and telegrams arriving from Beijing one after another, the Grand Tutor knew that he could no longer delay.

Therefore, on June 3, 1101, both sides signed a ceasefire treaty. Yan Kingdom acknowledged its defeat, paid a large amount of war reparations, opened border trade, and ended the state of war with the community.

This is historically known as the "Peace Negotiations at the Front Lines".

From this moment on, the Eight-Nation Alliance officially disintegrated.
