Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Led by the human soldiers, Yang Yu brought the team to the resting place.

After settling the accompanying team, Yang Yu patiently awaited the arrival of the first negotiations with the diplomatic team.

The location for the negotiations was set at the human consulate in northern Marzic, with the first negotiation scheduled for three o’clock this afternoon.

This time was chosen so that if the negotiations make no progress, both sides can use the reason ”it’s time for dinner; after we fill our stomachs, we will report the information to the higher-ups, prepare for the next negotiation” to smoothly escape and avoid wasting time meaninglessly.

As the first negotiation was approaching, a black and a red giant dragon flew out from the fissure in the sky and landed in Marzic City.

Their massive bodies did not crush any houses nor caused any tremors.

They were merely the illusions of the giant dragons.

Even though they were not corporeal, the magical power within the illusions is still enough to respond to most situations and support the essence to reach.

The illusion can last for a long time.

As long as it remains stationary, it can last up to a month without disappearing.

If not intentionally dragged, this period should be enough for the two countries to sign the ceasefire agreement.

Due to the existence of the giant dragons, there was no need for both negotiation teams to worry about ambushes on the way.

When the time arrived, the negotiation teams from both countries confidently headed to the negotiation location.

Before departure, Yang Yu advised Bai Jin and others not to get too close to the negotiation venue and not to walk around casually.

Yang Yu had not expected to meet Latis again in such a manner.

Despite only having a few short encounters, Yang Yu still made a deep impression on her.

If during the negotiation Latis suddenly recalls seeing him and decisively identifies him as human, things could really go awry.

Latis had seen more than just him.

When trading with Chilom, Yang Yu brought Iyas, hence, Latis had also seen Iyas.

Moreover, Lotcar and Ying Luo are renowned in the All Things Library, and the news of the Silver Wolf leaving Ying Luo could spread swiftly; Latis, in the All Things Library, should have heard some rumors.

Upon hearing Lotcar’s name and seeing a gigantic Silver Wolf, Latis couldn’t help but be suspicious.

Luckily, after entering the city, for easier accommodations, Lotcar lifted the transformation.

In Lotcar’s beastmen form, Latis shouldn’t be able to recognize it.

Yang Yu’s extravagant way of debuting was also to attract Latis’s attention as much as possible, so she wouldn’t notice the others in the carriage cabin.

For the plan to proceed smoothly, names like Potato Thorn and Yang Yu couldn’t connect right now.

...

...

As the negotiators from both sides approached the negotiation site, the red dragon lowered its gaze, staring straight at Yang Yu.

The giant dragons also constantly monitored the proceedings of this negotiation.

”It’s finally about to start; who knows where this meeting will lead the course of history.” The Black Dragon Hei Luo said aloud sitting in the bubble-filled hall.

”No matter where it leads, we can only watch quietly.” The pink dragon Merubie spoke.

”Hehehehehe.” For some unknown reason, the Bronze Dragon Owen was unusually excited, secretly chuckling.

Only Marie was silent, continuing to keep an eye on Yang Yu, watching him walk into the spacious conference hall.

Once everyone entered the conference hall, Marie submerged her consciousness into the hall, meticulously listening to every sound and observing every person’s actions and expressions.

After confirming everyone was ready, her voice suddenly echoed in the conference hall.

”Both parties, now please elucidate your respective ceasefire conditions. First, let’s start with the Wansheng Country side.”

Alk stood up to represent Wansheng Country and read their side’s demands.

Wansheng Country demanded Luo Ze Empire withdraw all stationed troops unconditionally, return all beastmen prisoners, publicly apologize, compensate for years of losses, guarantee no invasions for fifty years, ensure free trade...

Including some minor details, Alk took a full five minutes to read Wansheng Country’s entire list of demands.

Despite the complexity, each request was reasonable.

”.....If your country can agree to our demands, we Wansheng Country are not unwilling to mend relations with Luo Ze Empire and resume normal relations.”

Before Alk finished speaking, a disdainful clicking sound echoed in the spacious hall.

”Mend relations? Foolish talk,” said a curly-haired general from Luo Ze Empire, appearing to mutter, but everyone on the scene heard what was said.

Many beastmen sitting there immediately changed their expressions, and a beastmen negotiator directly slammed the table:

”You have no right to negotiate here.”

Everyone’s gaze turned sharply towards the young beastmen negotiator who spoke.

Only when the negotiator found Yang Yu’s gaze fixed on him, did the negotiator awkwardly lower his head and apologize, saying ”sorry,” before returning to his original seat dejectedly.

Facing Yang Yu was Latis, who lightly coughed while the curly-haired general pursed his lips, turning his head aside.

Both sides’ jesters had taken the stage.

Next, it depended on how the opposing party would make a move.

Latis looked at the intelligence minister Liu Qi beside her, who understood and stood up, beginning:

”Indeed, we have received your country’s demands and frankly, you have presented so many reasonable demands, some of which were unexpected for us; most have already entered our acceptable standards.

However, there are a few unreasonable points within your requests.

Regarding those unreasonable aspects, we shall propose corresponding amendments, hoping you can accept them.”

Though speaking with general words, Liu Qi used his magnetic voice to ease the atmosphere in the scene.

After confirming there were no other voices on-site, just as Liu Qi planned to speak, a Braid General of Luo Ze heavily slammed the round table.

The majestic sound echoed in the conference room, and the Braid General stood up independently, raising his voice, initiating the challenge:

”I cannot accept, I absolutely cannot accept this result.

We have been preparing for the winter combat for so long!

This winter, on the front battlefield, we can perform at our best strength; we would definitely not lose to you beastmen.

If you hadn’t used such despicable means, we were confident about seizing Sailuomen Plain.”

As soon as the Braid General finished speaking, other Luo Ze negotiators at the scene echoed:

”The war aimed to prevent massive casualties by prohibiting super large magic.

I don’t know how you circumvented the judgment, but this act obviously defies the dragons’ initial rule-setting intent.

I cannot accept the battle shifted toward the beastmen due to your treachery and cruelty.

I represent Luo Ze Empire, representing soldiers who died in that conflagration, to strongly condemn you.

We intend to lodge a protest with the dragons.”

”We can agree to a ceasefire in this war, provided that your Wansheng Country pays the corresponding price for its actions!”
