If this condition persists, then Morata will become the lord of these towns.
Due to the defeat in the war, each of the towns were 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.
-The warehouse manager hold the prisoner keys.
Their families will want to come to Morata to see them within two weeks.
Each of the lords had the responsibility of maintaining the morale in their forces. However, the Northern Lords did not see that and suffered huge damages.
"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 much is evident."
"Bankchester guild 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 maintain hostilities with neighboring kingdoms. Morata had exceptionally great culture. Lords did not understand the meaning of 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 masters into a building to discuss war negotiations. Basically it was reparations for the war. The number of prisoners from the Northern Alliance was perplexing. They had taken over 70 thousand prisoner. Of those there were 14 thousand users. The war reparations was bound to put them at a significant disadvantage.
The Styrene Guild took the first move.
"Morata lord, Morata is a well respected place. I have admired Weed-nim since the Continent is magic."
The beginners and POWs could witness the negotiations that were going on. With the amplification of sound magic the conversation could be heard from all over Morata. The stats were also covering the conversation live. They tried to smoothed over things politically. Weed saw that some of the players were on the Hall of Fame and were trying to make themselves sound professional. The Northern Alliance was at a huge 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 him as much as they could! They wanted to start the negotiations 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 damage on the other villages?"
"..."
The Styrene Guild mention the loss of their culture and art.
"Even though we invested a lot of money, our villagers keep migrating to Morata which is a big loss for us."
The Lords of the Northern Alliance nodded in unison since they were all sympathetic to the words being said. They did not have the kind of money for this and wanted to escape this suffering.
"The damage is done now and we will agree to no longer invade Morata. The defeat is ours and we would like our inhabitants bak. So the point is, could you please consider this agreement and we will not attack Morata again."
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 made noise in the dungeon 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.
'I didn't get all the items...I have lost more than I got. I can not sleep well tonight.'
Weed's face was contorted like a demon.
'Have to move on from the bitter memories and live the rest of life. I have to go on day by day. It's like an only man that's suffering from painful memories as he separates the trash'
Mapan went on Weed's behalf.
"That is your position as the Northern Alliance, but from Morata's perspective there is no reason to look at a single side of the war."
"But we don't have any money to pay."
"No, but that does not mean that the war reparations are done now does it?"
"...
