Benefits, everything was for the sake of benefits! The Beastmen started this war for benefits, the Radiant Church also schemed against the Beastmen for benefits, and the Rosen Empire also did so for benefits.
Talking about feelings with these big forces was a completely idiotic behavior. Even the straightforward Beastmen did it for benefits. If they couldn't get benefits, then who would want to fight? The reason why the Beastmen liked to fight was because they could get benefits from it. On the other hand, the Humans didn't like to fight because they couldn't get benefits from it. It was that simple.
The negotiations went smoothly, this was the result that the Beast Kings wanted. They wanted food, food at a fair price. This way, they could gain more benefits for the Beastmen.
Naturally, they also knew that if they conquered the Humans, then the Humans would be able to provide them with an endless supply of food. But at the same time, they also knew that it was impossible for them to conquer the Humans. They could gain some benefits from the war, but it was impossible for them to conquer the Humans. This was because the Humans' culture was different from the Beastmen's. It was impossible for the Beastmen to rule the Humans for a long time. Therefore, they would rather sell their food at a fair price.
However, the Beastmen made another request after the price of food. They wanted to severely punish the Radiant Church, this was because the Radiant Church was the one who started this war.
Regarding this request of the Beastmen, the negotiators of the various countries had different thoughts. Some of them were in favor of the Radiant Church while some weren't.
But if they didn't agree, then the Beastmen wouldn't leave and would continue to fight. Even if they managed to repel the Beastmen in the end, what would they get? Nothing, this was what the negotiators didn't want to see the most.
In the end, the negotiators discussed and decided to agree with the Beastmen first. In any case, after the Beastmen leave, they can do whatever they want.
After the Beastmen got a satisfactory result, they returned to the Prairie with a large amount of food from the Aksu Empire. But the matter with the Humans wasn't over yet.
This time, the Aksu Empire's strength had been greatly damaged, but the Rosen Empire couldn't just help the Aksu Empire for free. The Aksu Empire was the one who caused it, and we helped you solve it in the end. Do you think that you can just let it go? How could that be possible?
Because of this, the Rosen Empire also made a request to the Aksu Empire. First, it was monetary compensation, and the second was other requests. The Rosen Empire didn't ask for monetary compensation, they only asked for the Purcell Duchy to be given to the Buda Clan as their fief.
It was true that the Buda clan was a noble of the Aksu Empire, but the grudges and grievances between the Aksu Empire and the Buda clan were known to every child in the continent. Because of this, people didn't consider the Buda clan as people of the Aksu Empire.
But even so, the Buda Clan still had the title of Marquis in the Aksu Empire. They also had their own fief, so they could be considered as people of the Aksu Empire.
However, the Rosen Empire's request made the Aksu Empire feel very embarrassed. If they don't seal it, then the Aksu Empire would be in its weakest state while the Rosen Empire was still intact. They could use this as an excuse to occupy a piece of land. If this piece of land was located in Lifeline Canyon, then the Aksu Empire would be in trouble.
But if they agreed, then it would be tantamount to the Rosen Empire placing a nail in the Aksu Empire. In this case, the Aksu Empire's future days wouldn't be good.
Just like the Rosen Empire, the other three empires also made their own requests. They didn't ask for land, after all, they were too far away from the Aksu Empire. They didn't ask for a piece of land, after all, they were too far away from the Aksu Empire. But they did ask for a huge amount of monetary compensation. This made the Aksu Empire not know what to do.
This time, it wasn't just one empire that was making things difficult for them, but four empires. Even if they didn't want to, they had no choice but to deal with it. Most importantly, they had lost almost all of their military strength. This caused them to have no confidence in negotiating with the other empires.
The reason why the Rosen Empire didn't attack the Aksu Empire yet was because the Aksu Empire was defeated by the Beastmen and not the other empires. If they were to invade the Aksu Empire at this time, then they would be looked down upon by everyone in the continent.
But even if they couldn't invade the Aksu Empire, the Rosen Empire could still make demands. They could even choke the Aksu Empire economically.
If the Aksu Empire was at its peak, then the Aksu Empire wouldn't agree to the Rosen Empire's demands. But it was a pity that they weren't at their peak, they were at their weakest. This weakness wasn't only because they didn't have any troops to fight, it was also because their economy had suffered a huge blow.
Although the Beastmen didn't rob the commoners, the Aksu Empire's grain depots in the north were emptied. Moreover, the nobles of several cities were also killed. Their houses were robbed, and the Aksu Empire had to compensate the Beastmen with food. It can be said that the Aksu Empire's economy had regressed by more than 20 years. In this case, if they don't agree to the demands of the four empires led by the Rosen Empire, then it would be possible for them to block the Aksu Empire's economy. When that happens, it would be impossible for the Aksu Empire to return to its original state.
Most importantly, the Aksu Empire's two most important cities in the north, the Purcell Duchy and the Iksa Family, had been destroyed. The two families had now fled to Golden Island. This news had already spread throughout the continent. Moreover, the two families' strength had been greatly damaged, they simply didn't have the ability to take over their territories. Because of this, the Rosen Empire proposed that the Aksu Empire should give the Purcell Duchy to Zhao Hai as Zhao Hai's territory.
However, the Aksu Empire also understood that this territory couldn't be given to Zhao Hai. If they really did give this territory to Zhao Hai, then in the future, the Rosen Empire would be able to attack the Aksu Empire from both the south and the back. Because of this, the Aksu Empire and the Rosen Empire carried out very difficult negotiations.
The Aksu Empire only had one idea, as long as they didn't divide their territory, then they could negotiate. However, the Rosen Empire didn't relent.
In fact, in the end, everyone could see that the Rosen Empire didn't really want the Purcell Duchy. They just wanted to get more benefits.
In the end, after negotiations between the two sides, the Aksu Empire didn't only compensate the Rosen Empire with a large sum of money, they also exempted the Rosen Empire's goods from import tariffs.
What made people feel strange was that Zhao Hai didn't appear in the continent during this time. This was very unusual. One must know that the Aksu Empire and the Rosen Empire's negotiations had something to do with him. However, Zhao Hai didn't show up, this was very unusual.
In fact, Zhao Hai was also very busy during this time. He was collecting the corpses left behind from the war. There were a lot of corpses left behind, and most of them were strong soldiers. These corpses were very useful to Zhao Hai.
In the war between the Beastmen and the Humans, there were more than 1 million corpses. Some of these corpses were buried by the Beastmen, but some weren't. After all, there were too many corpses. Zhao Hai also knew that if these corpses were to be left untouched, then they might become a plague. Therefore, he collected the corpses and turned them into undead.
Zhao Hai also knew about the negotiations, but he didn't have much hope in the beginning. He knew that the Aksu Empire wouldn't agree. Although the Aksu Empire was now weak, the Rosen Empire still had some scruples, so they didn't dare go too far.
However, what made Zhao Hai despise were the people from the Radiant Church. At this time, the entire continent knew that the Aksu Empire's Emperor had become Boris. At the same time, the people of the Radiant Church had already left the Aksu Empire.
The Radiant Church's approach really made Zhao Hai despise them. This was tantamount to throwing away their allies while they ran away.
At this time, Boris didn't have his usual high-spirited appearance. The reason why the Aksu Empire dealt with the Purcell Duchy and the Iksa Family was because of his proposal. In the end, the Aksu Empire lost miserably. After this fiasco, the Aksu Empire wouldn't be able to recover for at least 20 years.
Even if they did recover in 20 years, their strength wouldn't be as good as before. This was because not only did they compensate the Beastmen, they also lost a lot of money to the other four Empires. This greatly damaged the Aksu Empire's strength.
However, after the negotiations were completed, the Aksu Empire began to officially rebuild itself. However, the Radiant Church became a target of scorn in the Aksu Empire. Nobody in the Aksu Empire liked the Radiant Church. It can be said that the Radiant Church's mission in the Aksu Empire was much more difficult compared to the Rosen Empire.
The Aksu Empire's reconstruction began. What they needed the most was food. They needed large quantities of food to stabilize the food price. Moreover, they needed large quantities of food to restore production. After the negotiations, the Rosen Empire and the other Empires weren't stingy. They sent large quantities of food to the Aksu Empire and sold them at a fair price. This greatly alleviated the Aksu Empire's food problem.
Among these people, the most famous one was Zhao Hai. He brought a large amount of food to the Purcell Duchy. This was very important for the Duchy's reconstruction.
Now, the Purcell Duchy and the Iksa Family had new masters. The nobles of these two places were Boris's most loyal subordinates. Although they had some conflicts with Zhao Hai before, they now had no choice but to welcome Zhao Hai. This was because whether it was the Purcell Duchy or the Iksa Family, they needed large quantities of food in order to force the original inhabitants to settle down.
The food that Zhao Hai brought wasn't Bread Fruit, but ordinary Bamboo Rice. He believed that Bread Fruit would be very popular among the Beastmen.
