The subsequent negotiations were even simpler. First, the internal narrative was set: "This is a military exercise!"
"The armies from different sides engaged in friendly exchanges and competitions. The powerful human civilization from afar brought abundant knowledge and gifts."
The content was indeed a bit awkward because the three powers had erupted in hundreds of conflicts, large and small, over the civilization relics beneath their feet, with the number of casualties exceeding five figures!
Suddenly it's "friendly exchanges"? Are we fooling a three-year-old child?
But history is always written by the victors. The fact that Green Grass City didn't slaughter them was already quite good, and this kind of narrative to reduce hatred was indeed a token of allegiance. No matter how difficult, it had to be claimed this way.
