Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The second negotiation between Luo Ze Empire and Wansheng Country has begun.

And this will eventually become the last negotiation.

At the beginning of the negotiation, Luo Ze Empire adhered to its own principles and expressed a series of opinions on the issues of ceasefire and truce.

Yang Yu sat in his original seat, quietly watching Luo Ze Empire act pretentious at the table.

Once they were almost done speaking, Yang Yu spoke up, stating he would continue to insist on his side’s position.

When Luo Ze Empire disagreed, Yang Yu took out a note and passed it among the team, instructing Wansheng Country’s negotiators to sit upright, not move, and remain silent at their positions.

The scene thus plunged into silence.

Soon, a Luo Ze Empire general felt a wave of anxiety, his fingers tapping impatiently on the negotiation table.

This sound seemed to also tap on the hearts of other Luo Ze Empire negotiators, and the agitation gradually spread.

In fact, Yang Yu’s claim of having five trump cards is a lie, saying he can make Luo Ze Empire submit and let Wansheng Country get what it wants is a lie, claiming he can force Luo Ze Empire to instantly sign a truce agreement is also a lie.

All of this was Yang Yu bragging.

The words Yang Yu told Ming Dalak were half true, half false.

Pretending, preempting a mine blast, has been completed.

What needs to be done now is to wait.

Even now, Yang Yu can feel the severity of the situation.

Many things will not shift according to his will; the more people he contacts, the harder it becomes to confirm the thoughts inside everyone’s heart and predict the specific direction of the story.

This backup plan has only a seventy percent chance of success, and compared to the original plan, this backup plan has too great a side effect.

If proceeding according to the original plan, even if the anticipated things don’t happen, Yang Yu can smoothly extricate himself.

If adopting the backup plan, anticipated things don’t happen, the boasts will not be fulfilled, leaving only a capitalized embarrassment all over the screen.

However, Yang Yu’s worries dissipated in smoke yesterday.

The things he anticipated happened.

Personnel representing Wansheng Country in the negotiations experienced a change in titles.

Wansheng Country...

is no longer the original Wansheng Country.

The braids-wearing Luo Ze General hammered his right hand heavily on the negotiation table, breaking over half an hour of silence, shouting extremely displeased:

”Hey! Negotiation leader opposite! Say something, how long do you plan to sit?”

Yang Yu just sneered, lifting his chin, arrogantly resting his feet on the table, exceedingly audacious: ”You must fulfill all our demands, or else no matter how long you wish to sit, we’ll be willing to sit as long as you!”

”Potato. Thorn, don’t be too excessive! This is the negotiation table, not your place for unreasonable action! Show some respect.” The braids-wearing Luo Ze General was outraged.

Luo Ze Empire’s General Wolishi stroked his horseshoe mustache, also wearing an annoyed expression.

Originally, he wasn’t part of this trip, but to fight for more benefits, he embarked on the journey.

Sitting still for long periods isn’t good for his elder body.

Yang Yu switched his leg that was resting on the negotiation table, speaking with contempt:

”Who exactly first acted unruly, everyone here knows. I’d like to hear your reasons for starting this war.”

Faced with this situation, several Luo Ze Generals almost couldn’t restrain the impulse to beat Yang Yu.

Latis’ eyebrows furrowed, having previously slightly revealed some chips, originally thinking Wansheng Country’s attitude might soften somewhat, but past events seemed to have instead provoked their dissatisfaction.

Though this outcome was within Luo Ze Empire’s expectations, they hadn’t foreseen that just three days later, Wansheng Country’s stance would be this hard.

”The causes of the war have been made very clear.” Latis looked at the documents beside him, not letting his inner turmoil show on his face, smiled and said, ”If the referee on the other side agrees, we can break the terms down for separate discussion...”

Before Latis finished speaking, the communicator brought by Luo Ze Empire hurriedly entered the conference hall, quickly approached General Wolishi, whispering urgently in his ear.

General Wolishi’s face changed suddenly, incredulous: ”What did you say? Is this information reliable?”

The communicator nodded vigorously, unconsciously making a sound: ”The Beastmen’s troops have crossed our national border and launched a surprise attack from three directions: Beidong River Basin, Nuokeqi Forest, and Caucasus Plateau!”

The Luo Ze Generals onsite were in an uproar, all turning their eyes to Yang Yu.

Yang Yu had already put down his leg, standing up with a smile, though there was a hint of helplessness in it.

There are many smart people in Wansheng Country as well; things he realized, they certainly wouldn’t be unaware of.

Eradicate powerless nobles, implement reforms, unite various Subhuman groups...

To achieve that, they’ve worked with the Curse Sect...

Allowing troops to attack human civilians, deliberately agreeing to unequal prisoner exchange demands, delaying the mobilization of special Subhuman troops...

Numerous reasonable yet absurd actions.

They’ve been silently enduring hits, surely pursuing something, but merely seeking a truce, especially such an abrupt peace, couldn’t achieve their goals.

In their hearts, they also yearn for war.

After a truce, starting a war again would mean facing certain punishments.

But launching the war again before the truce agreement is signed—that has none of those unpleasant penalties.

Negotiating while waging war isn’t an uncommon scenario.

The giant dragons haven’t specified that attacks couldn’t be launched during negotiations.

As it is said, all’s fair in war.

Of course, such surprise attacks come with costs.

The cost would be the negotiation teams being detained by other countries.

I’ve already become a stumbling block in their eyes.

The victory fruits won together seem sweet, not needing a lone Hero on the battlefield.

I’m destined to be sealed by them, receiving a donkey-killing reward.

Being appointed as referee is indeed reasonable.

”Negotiation leader opposite, can you explain the current situation?” Latis solemnly questioned.

”Ah, explaining is a bit troublesome.

I’m too lazy to explain.

Let me show you some technology you’ve never seen!”

Yang Yu spoke while drawing out an M18 smoke grenade from the system, he pulled the pin and tossed it onto the conference table.

Instantly, thick bluish smoke gushed from the green bottle, filling the entire conference hall.

Luo Ze Empire’s negotiation team didn’t know what Yang Yu used, but based on existing information, this colorful-haired masked man must have encountered ancient relics; these smokes surely have specific effects, absolutely not to be touched!

Just as Luo Ze Empire negotiators began using uncertain skills to defend against the smoke, Yang Yu beckoned with his finger, and rows of thorns immediately grew from the ground, sweeping across the negotiation site.
