After a brief interlude, the imperial council finally formally convened.
The first topic on the agenda was, unsurprisingly, the post-war disposition of the three nations that had surrendered.
"Regarding France and the other nations, I recommend adopting a conciliatory policy. Our main goal right now is to prepare for the upcoming cold winter, and we don't have much energy to spare for the post-war disposition of the three nations. Adopting a conciliatory policy to reduce unnecessary troubles is a good choice," a middle-aged knight in knightly attire was the first to speak. As he spoke, he cast a disapproving glance in Perfikot's direction, "Moreover, treating the surrendered nations kindly is in line with the knightly spirit. Having caused such a horrifying slaughter, we shouldn't add unnecessary persecution to the innocent people of these nations."
His proposal was evidently unpopular, and he was met with a barrage of opposition before he even finished speaking.
