Bai Xiaowen understood Candice's meaning and replied, "Lord Candice is right. Only cooperation can lead to a win-win situation. Our White Phoenix Territory loves peace and will definitely not take the initiative to start a war.
Candice: "It seems that we have reached a consensus on this point. Lord Lu Wang, I have one more thing. "
After pausing for a moment, Candice sent another message, "Currently, the coordinates of White Phoenix Territory are already in my grasp. However, I can guarantee you that I have not leaked your coordinates to any third party …"
Bai Xiaowen's heart tightened slightly, but then he understood.
Bai Xiaowen had seen the discussion in the Blue Star Overlord group, including Candice's action of selling the "tickets" to watch the battle. Since she was able to arrange surveillance on the battlefield, she must have already found the location of the White Phoenix Territory.
After all, Rivendell was also in the Gemini Palace Star Zone and was not far away.
Even if Candice did not mention it, Bai Xiaowen would have mentioned it. Now that Candice took the initiative to mention it, it was a show of goodwill. Bai Xiaowen naturally expressed his gratitude.
Candice: "No need to thank me. In fact, after this battle, the White Phoenix Territory has already gained prestige in the Starlink. Normal territories do not dare to start a war, so Lord Lu Wang can rest assured. "
Bai Xiaowen naturally understood that as the attacking side, they needed to create Realm Gates and transport troops. The defending side only needed to rely on the territory's protective formation to defend. Territory wars in the Starlink were disadvantageous to the attacking side.
Therefore, even if two territories with similar strength had conflicts, they would not easily start a war. Instead, they would settle it through mediation and negotiation.
Unless one side was very strong and far surpassed the other, they would use this conflict to declare war.
However, declaring war was often just a means to achieve a goal, and it did not mean that they would really start a war.
After all, starting a war meant astronomical military expenses. Moreover, due to the self-destruction mechanism of territories and the strict restrictions of annexation, spending a large amount of money might not achieve the goal. Instead, it might cause trouble.
For example, when Great Xia declared war on Gondor, it was to express their attitude. The Gondor Territory knew that they were no match for the Great Xia Dynasty, so they asked the important people of the Pan-Asia Continent to mediate. In the end, the Great Xia Dynasty won a spiritual crystal mine through a duel, which was much better than starting a war.
Bai Xiaowen replied, "Even so, White Phoenix Territory still hopes to keep its coordinates a secret. Lord Candice, you can name a price. If it's appropriate, I'm willing to pay. "
This was hush money. Bai Xiaowen didn't think that he had enough face to make Lord Candice give up on earning money. There must be many territories that were interested in the coordinates of the White Phoenix Territory. It wasn't that they had to start a war, but the precious information itself was worth collecting.
It must be mentioned here that the battlefield observed by the three Eyes of the Forest was only a small part of the starry sky within a radius of a few dozen kilometers. The background was only a portion of the White Phoenix Domain and the Great Tang Domain Gate. For the other feudal lords who were spectating the battle, trying to determine the coordinates of White Phoenix Territory in the Gemini Temple's orbit, which was close to 20 million kilometres, was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.
Hence, the coordinates of White Phoenix Territory were only in the hands of Candice, and this was certain.
Candice replied, "Lord Lu Wang is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. I don't need hush money. White Phoenix Territory just went through a huge battle, so they must be lacking in spiritual crystals. I hope that Rivendell and White Phoenix Territories can sign a mutual trust agreement to strengthen the communication between them. "
"Mutual trust agreement? Can you elaborate? "Bai Xiaowen squinted his eyes.
Candice replied, "The mutual trust agreement is a common agreement between the territories of the Starlink Alliance. It is very convenient for the territories to communicate. According to the trust between the two lords, it is split into three levels. After signing it, the two territories can use the teleportation gate to directly complete the exchange of resources and personnel. They don't need to go through the Blue Star platform. "
"Including personnel exchange?" Bai Xiaowen frowned. If it included personnel exchange, he had to be careful. What if the other side teleported a group of experts over and found a chance to snatch power? The possibility was low, but he had to guard against it.
Candice understood Bai Xiaowen's concerns. "In fact, no lord dares to violate the mutual trust agreement. Using the mutual trust agreement to launch a surprise war will greatly increase the warlike index of the territory. It is equivalent to cutting oneself off from the Blue Star group. Hence, if there is a conflict between two territories, there must be a routine declaration of war before starting a war. Of course, to eliminate your concerns, we can start with the basic mutual trust agreement. "
Candice then sent the contents of the basic mutual trust agreement.
Bai Xiaowen skimmed through it. After signing the basic mutual trust agreement, the teleportation gate of both territories would be free of visas. In other words, the lord's consent would no longer be needed for teleportation.
However, this kind of teleportation had strict restrictions. Spiritual materials below gold grade (including gold grade) could not exceed 3000 spirit crystals for a single teleportation. The number of people teleported could not exceed 10, and the level of the personnel could not exceed 13. In other words, it only included low-level evolvers, awakened ones, and true ordinary people.
This kind of mutual trust agreement's visa-free restriction was limited by the spirit realm's rules. In other words, small tricks like hiding one's strength and lowering one's spiritual energy fluctuations to below level 13 could not pass the visa-free process of the teleportation gate.
This kind of visa-free method was bound to be the general trend in the future, because lords could not always stay in their territories, nor could they always be visa holders. If the lord's consent was required every time someone wanted to use the teleportation gate, the lord would not be able to do proper business.
Take the White Phoenix Territory for example. His companions all had visa-free qualifications. They had all left their spiritual energy fluctuations on the teleportation gate's stone pillars. This way, they could directly teleport in and out of the White Phoenix Territory without Bai Xiaowen's consent.
Of course, as the lord, Bai Xiaowen had the authority to erase a person's spiritual energy fluctuations. This was equivalent to taking away their visa-free qualifications.
Candice saw that Bai Xiaowen did not reply, so she sent another message. "Actually, we can announce in the Blue Star group that Rivendell Territory and White Phoenix Territory have signed a basic mutual trust agreement. This way, if one of us violates the agreement, it will be difficult for us to do anything in the Starlink Alliance in the future. Even annexing the other's territory would not be enough to compensate for this kind of price. Lord Lu Wang, you should be relieved. "
Bai Xiaowen replied, "No need. I believe in Lord Candice's character. There's no need to announce it in the group. We can just sign it directly."
Bai Xiaowen considered that if the agreement was notarized, all the lords would know about it. Then, there would be other lords coming to him to sign the mutual trust agreement. If Bai Xiaowen refused, he might offend others.
