Strongest Soldier King Chapter 1809 1809: Successful Peace Talks

An hour later, Luo Zheng and Hook walked out of Sam Country's base carrying large bags, looking ecstatic. Hook started humming local folk songs, which Luo Zheng couldn't understand, but he was happy for Hook's genuine joy. Regardless of how the negotiation turned out, there was an initial result. Whether Sam Country would adhere to it was beyond their control, but it was clear there was sincerity since Punard escorted them out with courtesy.

The two walked into the forest and soon saw Mountain Eagle leading a group to welco them. Everyone was surprised to see the bags in Luo Zheng and Hook's hands, and ran up eagerly. Upon inspection, they found roast duck, roast chicken, and roast goose, which delighted everyone who quickly divided the food. Mountain Eagle tore off a roast goose leg and handed it to Lan Xue, giving a thumbs-up with excitent while eating, saying indistinctly, "Brother, impressive."

"You can't keep your mouth shut even while eating," Luo Zheng joked, looking at Lan Xue. Lan Xue nodded knowingly, brushing aside his thick worries and ate without further comnt.

"Is there really sothing delicious? Don't hog it," Ghost Hand's voice sounded in the earpiece.

Quickly, Ghost Hand and Snow Leopard's n dashed out of the woods, swarming to snatch food. Mountain Eagle's n hastily handed over their portions, holding onto a single leg to savor. The food was swiftly divided among them all, and by the ti Luo Zheng reminded everyone to save so for Scholar and others, it had all been devoured.

After days of dry rations, they couldn't resist the tantalizing sll and taste of good food. Luo Zheng was quite speechless. Beside him, Hook apologized, saying, "Brother, sorry for letting your n suffer. When peace cos, I'll host you well, eat and sleep all day without worry."

"That I really look forward to," Luo Zheng replied with a smile.

Everyone headed deeper into the forest. Although the talks went well, there was a risk Sam Country might go back on their word. Such matters were hardly significant for them. Caution was necessary. After a while, Scholar and others caught up, and they walked towards the valley, discussing negotiation details to spread the word among the brothers.

On the way, Luo Zheng used the earpiece to contact ho, reporting the situation again. He learned the holand was very satisfied with the negotiations, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Everything that needed to be done was done. Now, it was a matter of waiting. If Sam Country reneged, they'd fight again; if peace talks succeeded, it was a good thing because then he could return ho for a family reunion, possibly in ti for the New Year.

Before they knew it, nightti arrived. They found a valley cave to hide and spent the night there. The next day continued their journey toward the valley. By dusk, they'd reached a mountain ridge, where they saw an army ahead. They appeared dejected, lacking morale, carrying many wounded, slowly trudging through the canyon as if they'd suffered a defeat.

"Uh?" Luo Zheng paused, quickly realizing that it must be the Sam Country troops stationed in the valley starting to withdraw. He hadn't expected them to truly agree to the peace talks and start withdrawing according to the schedule. It was a promising start, and he quickly connected to the satellite signal to report the situation back ho, requesting Lan Xing for aerial photos for confirmation.

This retreating army seed endless. Curious, Luo Zheng led everyone in a detour uphill to a higher slope and saw the enemy troops stretched long, carrying supplies and equipnt while retreating. It wasn't fake. He couldn't help but rejoice because even if negotiations failed and Sam Country breached the agreent, the valley was back in Hook's possession.

At this thought, Luo Zheng suddenly rembered Hook's country's na, and curiously asked, "Brother, what does Miyama an? Is there a story behind it?"

"Miyama is our native language; it represents brotherly friendship. I hope to use this na to testify to the friendship between us and the brotherly bond between tribes, as well as friendship between our countries. How do you feel about it?" Hook quickly explained.

"Brotherly friendship, Miyama; this na is a bit mysterious, a bit gentle, but also full of peaceful aspirations. It's good if you find it suitable," Luo Zheng replied gratefully with a smile.

Others curiously inquired, and upon understanding the details, they gratefully smiled at Hook. Lan Xue said, "If it were in my country, it would sound like a girl's na, but I like it."

"As long as you like it, it's good," Hook laughed, looked at everyone, and sincerely focused on Luo Zheng, continuing, "I will build a museum to record all your nas and friendships, for future generations to rember this event, your contributions, and risks taken, especially our brothers who sacrificed themselves. They are great, heroes of our country."

"On behalf of the fallen brothers, thank you," Luo Zheng felt warmth inside and said solemnly.

"No, it should be thanking you. I hope this way future generations will rember today, this part of hardship in history. Nation-building is not easy for the tribe, pursued by many generations. Now it's within reach during my ti, I am proud of this honor. Without you, our generation couldn't realize this wish. Therefore, we must do sothing to rember this history and pass it on," Hook said solemnly.

"Alright, no matter what the future holds, we're brothers for life," Luo Zheng said solemnly.

"Indeed, brothers for life, let the green mountains bear witness," Hook nodded emotionally.

After regulating his emotions for a while, Hook looked at Luo Zheng earnestly and said, "Additionally, all your n will beco honorary citizens of my country, always welco to return. This doesn't violate your discipline, right?"

"I don't know, I need to ask," Luo Zheng replied with a smile, not willing to give a direct answer.

"You can agree to this; it's a deserved honor," Wu Jin's voice sounded in the earpiece: "Moreover, relevant departnts are preparing work according to your tiline. Five days later, the peace treaty will be confird and signed. If Sam Country breaches, then fight again. Additionally, the country will exert diplomatic pressure; breach probability shouldn't be high, but precautions are needed, so be careful in the coming few days."

Luo Zheng was stunned, smiling at Hook, "Just received word from ho, they say you can agree."

"That's great," Hook diligently smiled.

"One more thing," Wu Jin's voice continued in the earpiece: "Once the peace talks succeed, you must return ho for recuperation. Chief of Staff Li's people will stay to train their army. Before returning ho, you have to complete related handover work."

"Understood," Luo Zheng agreed, looking at Hook and smiling, "If peace talks succeed, Chief of Staff Li's people will stay to help train your army. We'll return first, and visit when possible, how about that?"

"I'd regret if you're not here, ideally. Certainly, I know you have bigger missions to tackle. Leaving Chief of Staff Li and his troops, I deeply appreciate it. If you ever need , just say the word; we're brothers," Hook said earnestly.
