War Negotiations

This has been brought to you by Grisia

Explosions ripped the land apart and ice pillars formed and collapsed repeatedly! After the smoke and dust cleared, the Northern Alliance could see the results of their actions In the area that was thoroughly devastated by ht Only that one area was fine Thanks to the Moonlight Sculpting, the trajectory of htly Thankfully none of the ic had been aimed at Weed directly when they exploded Due to the different properties of the various ics, the result was quite destructive The arrows shot by the archers had lost most of their attack power because of the aftereffects of the ical attacks Even so, in the center of the explosions, it was a ed to survive It was thanks to their vitality, endurance, defensive skills, ar! With the Death Knight, they e from the explosion However, the durability of the Ancient shi+eld fell by a staggering 25 points It was not an exaggeration one of the best, unique shi+elds but it could not be repaired The durability of his Tallock ars, but thankfully he was lucky that it was not fully destroyed yet

”My Ancient shi+eld”

His precious Ancient shi+eld that he only wore sparingly! The durability had dropped by 25 and now only 261 was reer that its price would fall Weed was really angry

”I would have rather died!”

He would earn back his skill experience but he could not get the durability that the Ancient shi+eld had lost back Weed had 33 health left and 46 of his mana Even if he wanted to cry, he could not stop now since he needed to break even He had ic explosions

'As for the items'

Weed had been aet to take the ite!”

At the ht those that were left Weed was the hero of the battlefield Everyone atching hian to act and strike down enean to attack but it was not as threatening as the first strike

”Let's fight against those that wish to haro!”

The Kallaainst the Northern Alliance All of the high level users that went to fight Weed had died in the ical attack Many of the leaders of the Northern Alliance had already died

”Kill theainst the oppressors”

Geoan to break apart the ene, and Wyverns were earning hi the Northern Alliance crule death does not lead to a significant lead to victory Since he killed and looted a lot of the eneanized

”Beat them!”

”Kill them all!”

The balance was destroyed and could not revert back to normal The Northern Alliance was stuck in a situation like that of a wildfire They could no longer trust their allies after having been attacked by their own ive up Help ize for declaring war on Morata”

The Northern Alliance users began to drop their weapons to show their intent to surrender There was speculation that once Weed had begun to sing that there were already people surrendering Once the soldiers of the Northern Alliance put down their weapons, the siege cainners lifted their rusty swords and their wooden shi+elds and began to cheer

”Uon!”

”Morata wins Hurrah!”

Weed shook his head

”You started this war so you can not be the one that gets to decide when it ends!”

He used to ive off a Yell This was not the end of the war He had spent a lot of money to recruit soldiers and other expenses that would mean an economic loss Of course, a defeat in as the side that had substantial daes and could ransoh for Weed He had not earned enough hts, the beginners, the Geoainst 30 thousand weak and tired users There was money and experience scattered all over the floor! To say that you wanted to end the as nonsense It was like donating all of yourwon the lottery!

”Uwaaaa!”

”We won!”

”The Northern Alliance declared defeat!”

To the beginners that were giving off their victory yells, they thought that Weed was just being proud to show his pleasure in the situation Weed yelled back

”These enele person alive, kill theinners had to be stirred upWithout thee the Sculptures of Life and the Kallahts as well as Morata's soldiers would take With the nuinners they could exhaust the members of the Northern Alliance The Geo the confusion and cut down eneed in unexpectedly The shouting that the beginners gave off worked to lower the spirits of the users froiven off his infamous war cry and wanted to wipe out the Northern Alliance The users of the Northern Alliance raised their hands

”Praise to Weed!”

”He is indeed the Count of Morata We adain”

”It is an honor to lose to Weed the God of War We had learned fro, stations were broadcasting the war in Morata

”The Northern Alliance seetae-ssi, what do you think will be the outcome of this war?”

”It can't even be called a war The Northern Alliance has mobilized over 120 thousand units The victory will definitely go to the Northern Alliance The majority of the Northern Guilds had formed this coalition and it was successful”

CHN Media decided that the Northern Alliance would win

”The scale of the Northern Alliance is aenerously spent on military efforts to take over Morata”

”There are a lot of siege weapons Viewers are going to see the city of Morata covered in flames today”

”Will Weed's invincibility as the God of War end?”

”Unfortunately that is so”

CTS Media caht and said that Morata would lose Weed would suffer bitter defeat and the Northern Alliance would win so that their viewershi+p would increase KMC Media took a different stance

”The Northern Alliance, despite having a massive force, does not mean much to Weed”

”Oh Juwan-ssi, what do youlike the Northern Alliance is not enough to Weed?”

”That's right It is because he is that et him”

”What do you think will happen in the war?”

”It looks like the Northern Alliance's victory may seem obvious, but that is unknown until the war finally starts”

”So you're saying that Weed can win this war”

”At this point it is difficult to say, but from the quests so far perfor that he would definitely lose”

Oh Juatching the fight carefully Morata was not expected to win, so KMC Media as Weed's contractor would get reduced viewershi+p Still the Director was a dedicated fan of Weed and maintained his stance despite what others said Then the stations showed the Kallale person there that did not understand the hts!

”Do you think Weed brought theone to the Kallahts Kolderihts of the Kalladom!”

”Is there some connection between Weed and Kolderiently raised his voice Other than Maylon, the others did not know that it was Weed that had liberated Kolderihts were battle knights that could take any role in combat and had the power to stop any force They would ruthlessly wield theirde, so hts The Kallae impact on the Northern Alliance users The fear could be seen in their eyes

They had seen the Kallahts' destructive power on the television but now they were subject to it thehts charge in rapidly Many chose to flee froic that led to allied dainners A level 300 high level users could si continued they would get inners, they were still surrounded on all sides The Kallah level Geomchi would briefly appear The Northern Alliance users had already abandoned the idea that they were in the advantage Mixed ah level users In the battlefield, the experience and melee combat skills of the individual were i Hydra, the Black I, and the Wyverns! It was true that the faht

They had all noticed it in the battles with the Orc Karichwi

'The real war begins now'

'This is Weed's war'

The song was about looting the iteh level users of the Northern Alliance earing! That was exactly what he was singing about The battle then progressed and ht to see hiic explosion The Northern Alliance lost their an to surrender to avoid further sacrifices However the Northern Alliance was a coalition of builds rather than a guild under a single person so they did not have military efficiency Due to the fact that it was a coalition of uild surrenders then the whole alliance collapses

””

”So what happened to the war”

”Morata won”

The hosts were at a loss for words It was difficult for theun to pour out There were enough posts on the Internet co Once you posted our own coes to see it

-So the God of War did not lose today

-I didn't think the Kallahts would show up

-He had the power to bring them

-The Northern Alliance could not be called the main powers on the continent It could not compare to the central and south eastern forces However, after seeing the events of the war I a so rapidly? Last tie

-Don't forget to keep watching the broadcasts

-They don't see the broadcasts too often Morata changes on a weekly basis

-I started as a user in Morata It's a place where art, culture, adventure, religion, and conored The North isn't lacking in anything But they just keep growing

-Weed is more than qualified to be Lord there The Northern Users were just bad at developing their towns He had built e sculptures and now isn't there the Art's Center Building? If that's colad to stay there

-I just finished eating my sandwich Also Weed! He did not disappoint at all It was a shaht well didn't he?

-I a withto take over Morata any too

The moment the war ended, apopped up for Weed to see

Due to the defeat in the war, each of the toere facing large scale resistance It depended on the culture of each town and those that were defeated had to pay a huge penalty Tears fell from those that were held in captivity

<tbody>-The warehouse er hold the prisoner keysTheir families ant to come to Morata to see them within teeks</tbody>

Each of the lords had the responsibility ofthe morale in their forces However, the Northern Lords did not see that and suffered huge daes

”Half of the town has already deserted”

”Kerala doesn't have any culture All the farmers have left the harvest in the ditches and ran away”

”Well, that uild is barely holding their own”

”Your town?”

”Us? There's nothing to buy Who knew that culture and are are things that were actually important?”

There was not much unrest in the continent since there were cultural centers Each town and city fulfilled the basic need of cultural level so that they could doreat culture Lords did not understand theof culture and people satisfaction or a sense of art So the Northern Lords reduced art as much as possible They did not think they would lose so much from the war

”Do you think that this is because we failed to raise culture?”

”This is where the real frightening part begins”

The war negotiations were not over yet Weed had gathered the lords and the guild otiations Basically it was reparations for the war The nu They had taken over 70 thousand prisoner Of those there were 14 thousand users The war reparations was bound to put thee

The Styrene Guild took the first move

”Morata lord, Morata is a well respected place I have adic”

The beginners and POWs could witness the negotiations that were going on With the aic the conversation could be heard fro the conversation live They tried to ss politically Weed saw that so to make thee disadvantage However the Styrene Guild continued at Weed

'This much is just?'

There was a need to understand the personality and taste of the other party So they tried to praise hiotiations off with elegant lines of praise

”The monsters of the Northern part of Morata are scatter out, this must be because Lord Weed is dependable However, have you seen the extent of daes?”

””

The Styrene Guild mention the loss of their culture and art

”Even though we invested a lot ofloss for us”

The Lords of the Northern Alliance nodded in unison since they were all sy said They did not have the kind of

”The daer invade Morata The defeat is ours and ould like our inhabitants back So the point is, could you please consider this agreeain”

After the Styrene Guild finished, they finally noticed Weed was the notorious God of War known as the worst of the worst In the Continent of Magic, he would kill anyone that eon and even those that ran away Weed had no sympathy or compassion He was burned into history as the unscrupulous user that kills and takes all! Weed had his arms crossed with narrow eyes That much could show his attitude that he was not at all pleased
