Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Fourthly, together defend against foreign fiefs, the immediate priority for the alliance is preventing the southward advance of Chen Cang and Cai Qiu’s two vassal towns. It is believed the two fiefdoms’ access points into our Nine Towns lie north of Beishuo Dongchuan jurisdiction and Jinshan Yinhe Valley region. Beishuo Jin Mountain’s Lords, by July, must delineate these regions as jointly governed lands for the alliance, managed by the alliance to guard against foreign fief infiltration;

Fifthly, pledge oath eternally firm: each year on January 15th, Eight Town Lords shall visit Xia City for an allegiance reaffirmation. Any breach of alliance or broken promise shall result in permanent cultivation stagnation, Eight Towns shall jointly censure, failure to assist in crisis shall lead to revocation of alliance status as sworn enemies!”

Upon Li Xuanling’s words, the expressions of the Eight Town Lords slightly stiffened.

After half a month’s discussion, they fully understood.

This alliance, Great Xia evidently hadn’t just planned for a day or two.

These were merely the five most crucial articles; the details within the treaty, collectively add up to at least dozens.

These five articles were precisely the primary reasons for their acceptance of this treaty.

Especially the last article, wagering cultivation as a curse oath, undoubtedly added an extremely robust guarantee to this treaty.

Everyone here was a seasoned strategist, surely they saw through Great Xia’s intentions.

The issue is the greed of the two vassal towns, which genuinely frightened them!

If Great Xia could truly lead the Eight Towns to resist fief invasions, they were wholeheartedly willing.

Compared to the aggressive seizure by the fiefdoms, Great Xia’s mild form of influence was obviously more acceptable.

Moreover, future events are ever uncertain, isn’t that right?

As long as the present crisis is resolved, whether Great Xia swallows them or vice versa in the future, who could offer a definitive answer?

”Ladies and gentlemen, make the treaty!”

Li Xuanling presented a small bowl and a dagger, smiling as she spoke to everyone present.
