Douluo Dalu: Tiger Roars in the Universe

Chapter 266 Negotiations, Territory Exchange

No matter what, the Haotian Sect survived this time, and Bibi Dong hurriedly led her people back because her hometown was in danger.

With Bibi Dong's return, the power in the entire Wuhun City has now gathered to a terrifying level.

In fact, even after being weakened many times, the Spirit Hall is still powerful. There are still ten Titled Douluo alone, and more than half of them are above level ninety-five. In addition, the number of mid- and low-end spirit masters is definitely more than 20,000, and it is very likely that it is still above 30,000.

With such powerful strength, the Spirit Hall still cannot be underestimated, especially now that most of the power is concentrated in the Spirit City, which has caused tremendous pressure on the Star Luo Empire.

So even though the Xingluo Empire has now surrounded Wuhun City, it has not launched a direct attack on Wuhun City. It has only surrounded it without attacking it, and has quickly transferred all four Titled Douluo who were on Dai Yaochen’s eastern battlefield over there. Its own eight Titled Douluo gathered together to confront Wuhun City.

Similarly, for the Spirit Hall, their recent situation has been very bad.

Although it still retains most of its strength, it is true that the Spirit Hall has suffered a series of setbacks in recent times. Under such circumstances, some problems have inevitably arisen within the Spirit Hall. In addition, it is surrounded by the Star Luo Empire from the outside. In such a passive situation, the Spirit Hall did not dare to make any moves for a while and could only confront the Star Luo Empire.

However, this kind of confrontation between the two sides is not a long-term solution after all. If it lasts too long, the tight string may break one day, causing the situation to slide into a direction that neither side wants to see.

So after nearly half a month of confrontation, the Star Luo Empire finally began to contact the Spirit Hall.

That’s right, what the Star Luo Empire has to do is negotiate with the Spirit Hall, and the Spirit Hall is also happy to accept the negotiation.

This is not surprising. Although the two sides fought very fiercely before, it does not affect the possibility of negotiations between the two sides. After all, in the current situation where no one can do anything to the other side, or no one wants to suffer extremely huge losses, negotiation is a good choice.

Whatever the matter is, we can talk about it.

Once both parties reached an agreement on negotiation, things became much simpler, and the negotiation was held directly under Wuhun City.

Dai Yaochen did not participate in this negotiation because he was responsible for stabilizing the situation on the eastern front. However, he soon got the final result of the negotiation, which was the exchange of land.

The Emperor Dai Tianyu of the Xingluo Empire, the Pope Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall, and the Emperor "Xue Qinghe" of the Tiandou Empire reached an agreement. The Xingluo Empire returned the western territory captured in this battle, and in return, the Tiandou Empire needed to compensate with an equal area of ​​territory on the eastern front.

The result of this negotiation is generally beneficial to both parties.

For the Star Luo Empire, their gains from this battle were too great. They destroyed all the kingdoms and principalities on the continent and annexed all their territories. However, while gaining such a huge gain, the Star Luo Empire also encountered a big trouble. That was that the core of the Spirit Hall, the Spirit City, was also included in the territory of the Star Luo Empire.

If this situation occurs, if the Xingluo Empire cannot eliminate Wuhun City, it will have to retain most of its forces around Wuhun City, which is obviously not feasible.

Therefore, the Xingluo Empire simply withdrew from the territory around Wuhun City, thus avoiding the negative effects of accommodating Wuhun City in its own territory.

Of course, the Xingluo Empire did not give up this piece of land directly, but exchanged it with the Tiandou Empire, demanding that the Tiandou Empire cede an equal area of ​​land on the eastern front. This also directly obtained the consent of Xue Qinghe, or Qian Renxue.

After this period of life as an emperor, Qian Renxue can be said to have faced the reality. As her true identity was questioned, she could never truly sit firmly on the throne of the Tiandou Empire. The people of the Tiandou Empire no longer recognized her. In this case, it would be beneficial to cede the territory of the Tiandou Empire and exchange the territories of the former kingdoms and duchies with the Xingluo Empire.

After all, the Spirit Hall has been operating in those kingdoms and principalities for quite some time, and the people of those kingdoms and principalities also have a certain degree of recognition of the Spirit Hall, so if it can be exchanged back, it would be convenient for the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall to rule.

At this point, the agreement on the exchange of territory between the two sides was finalized, and they began to be implemented simultaneously. When the Xingluo army on the western front retreated southward, Dai Yaochen's troops on the eastern front were also moving rapidly northward.

Before, Dai Yaochen and his men on the eastern front did not continue to attack northwards because the Tiandou Empire had deployed heavy troops to defend the border. But now it is different. Both parties have reached an agreement to hand over territory to each other. So if Dai Yaochen leads his troops northward again, he will naturally not encounter any resistance. He will just continue to take over the cities that originally belonged to the Tiandou Empire in an orderly manner.

Speaking of which, the scale of the territorial handover agreement reached by the two parties this time is really large. You must know that the territories of those kingdoms and duchies occupied by the Star Luo Empire on the western front this time are equivalent to half of the territory of the Heavenly Dou Empire. In other words, according to the content of the agreement, when the Star Luo Empire hands over this part of the territory to the Spirit Hall and the Heavenly Dou Empire, the Heavenly Dou Empire will also cede half of its original territory.

Although the size of the Tiandou Empire's territory remained unchanged after the handover, this agreement still caused resistance from many nobles within the Tiandou Empire.

You have to know that the interests of these nobles are all within the Tiandou Empire. Now this kind of territory handover agreement will seriously damage their interests. Under normal circumstances, even the emperor's desire to move the capital would cause great resistance, not to mention the current territorial handover.

Naturally, Spirit Hall and Heaven Dou Empire would not care about their resistance, but this time they did not suppress them by force as they did in the past, but simply abandoned them.

Since these guys don't want to migrate, then just leave them on the territory to be handed over. After the Star Luo Empire takes over, these people may cause some trouble to the Star Luo Empire. If this is the case, it would be great.

The situation on the mainland has developed to this point, and the situation has become somewhat bad for the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire, so now Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue have begun to think of ways to delay the Star Luo Empire as much as possible.
