Volume 5 Chapter 158 Truce

Whether it was Xu Yi or Seveni, leisure time was a luxury for them. The two walked around the street for around an hour before heading back to the royal palace with the same route.

No one disturbed their talk after they returned to the royal palace and no one knew what they talked about.

But half a month after Xu Yi left Anvilmar City, the Lampuri Kingdom suddenly proposed a ceasefire to the Sack Kingdom.

Although the Sack Kingdom felt that the Lampuri Kingdom was shaming them with this proposal, because they were unable to resist the offense of the Lampuri Kingdom at all, they were forced to accept this in the end.

For many of the people of the Sack Kingdom, the Lampuri Kingdom offering them this truce was something worth celebrating.

The high ranking nobles were worried that the Lampuri Kingdom would sweep the Sack Kingdom and the lower ranked citizens were worried that the war would affect their lives.

Among the citizens, the ones who were the most affected were those who lived in Tucklin Town in the previous free trade zone.

Because Tucklin Town was chosen as the free trade zone between countries, this small town was suddenly filled with merchants from both countries and suddenly began to swell.

At the same time, because of the merchants from the two countries trading here, the town became prosperous.

The people of the town were poor before, but with the opening of the free trade zone, their lives had completely changed.

There were suddenly many jobs in the town and anyone could find a job that had a decent income as long as they had working limbs. They could even start their own small businesses and it wasn’t hard for them to earn a small fortune.

But after the war between the two countries started, the free trade zone was affected. There were no more merchants that came and the town became deadly silent in just a single night.

All the business in the town stopped and everyone had lost their vitality.

Everyone understood that once the Lampuri Kingdom declared war on the Sack Kingdom, this free trade zone would be gone. The good lives that they had which was like springtime for them would be gone forever.

But when everyone was feeling despair, there was some good news.

The Lampuri Kingdom proposed a truce!

After receiving this news, the people of Tucklin Town were filled with joy, but they were nervous every day because they were afraid that the upper class of the kingdom wouldn’t accept the truce.

As long as the war continued, they would only be able to live their hopeless lives.

The lucky thing was that after a week the Lampuri Kingdom proposed the truce, the Sack Kingdom finally made a decision to accept the truce. They began negotiating the ceasefire with the Lampuri Kingdom.

Even though many people were worried that the kingdom would suffer from the peace talks, for the people of Tucklin Town, it didn’t matter to them.

The only thing they cared about was whether the free trade zone represented by Tucklin Town would open again.

In just three days after the peace talks began, there was another good piece of news, which relieved the worries of the people of Tucklin Town.

The first thing the Lampuri Kingdom added in the discussion was to reopen the free trade zone between the two countries.

But at the same time, the Lampuri Kingdom also requested that not only would Tucklin Town be a free trade zone, the area around Tucklin Town which included three cities at the border between these two countries would also become a free trade zone.

If one looked at it from a map, they would find that these three cities and Tucklin Town formed a line at the border. This covered all of the intersecting areas between the Lampuri Kingdom and the Sack Kingdom.

Of course, this didn’t matter to Tucklin Town.

The people of the town only knew that once the free trade zone opened again, they would regain the good days from before!

Two weeks after the two kingdoms signed the new free trade zone agreement, the people of Tucklin Town were waiting excitedly for the first batch of merchants from the Lampuri Kingdom to arrive in Tucklin Town.

However when they saw the flags flown by the large transport fleet, everyone was stunned.

The flags were blowing in the wind, but what was on them was a half wing design. As the flag fluttered in the wind, the half wing kept swinging like it was about to fly away.

There definitely wouldn’t be a mistake!

This flag definitely represented the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!

In the past two years, with the various household magic machines entering the Sack Kingdom, everyone had experienced the benefits of these new things.
