Both sides set off at the same time. The four dragons on Li Huailin's side headed to the front line to help the elves in battle, while Li Huailin was preparing to return to the Demons' city for a meeting. To be honest, Li Huailin hated meetings the most, but this one was relatively simple.
Under normal circumstances, when there were multiple victorious countries, the meeting would usually be longer. If there was only one, the defeated country could do whatever they wanted, and the other party could not refuse. The meeting would end quickly. However, when multiple countries won, it would involve the distribution of benefits. This was more troublesome for the victorious countries. It would be considered fast if the meeting dragged on for more than ten days. It might even take a month or even a few months.
However, Li Huailin's side was relatively relaxed. Although the humans and the undead were the two victorious countries, they actually listened to him, so this meeting should not be too long.
Li Huailin directly teleported to Argos' side. At this time, Argos was still hovering above the Demons' city. In fact, Li Huailin found that this thing did not like to move. It was basically sleeping. It rarely moved a little. Unless someone disturbed it, it could basically be seen as a background.
Of course, now that Argos was floating above the Demons' city, Li Huailin directly appeared and stomped Millet to death. Such a big movement quickly attracted the patrolling undead soldiers nearby.
"Your … Your Highness." Fortunately, the undead soldiers basically recognized Li Huailin. After all, Yaze had officially ascended to the throne. Everyone thought they were the same person.
"Where's Soudeis? Bring him here immediately," Li Huailin said casually.
"Yes, Your Highness." The soldiers here immediately went to call for reinforcements. Since they were originally near the Demons' palace, Soudeis quickly rushed over. Li Huailin also took this time to look at the situation in the Demons' city. It seemed to be not much different from a few days ago. It was still full of ruins, but there were a lot more undead soldiers. Li Huailin guessed that many of them had teleported here from the rear. But what concerned Li Huailin was that he had not seen a single human so far. Could it be that the human army had not arrived yet?
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you always appear suddenly. This time, I'm not used to coming in from the main entrance." While he was thinking, Soudeis hurried over. He seemed to be in a good mood and even joked with Li Huailin.
"Where's the human army? Haven't they arrived yet? "Li Huailin asked directly.
"They have arrived, but they haven't entered the city yet. They are now camping outside the north gate. I think they don't trust us, but they have already contacted us. I have also conveyed the intention of negotiating with them, but they haven't responded yet," Soudeis said. Of course, there was no response.
Of course, there was no response. He was currently the commander of the Human Race. If he didn't agree to the peace talks, how could they decide whether to continue fighting or to end the war through peace talks? After thinking about it, he felt that it was irresponsible of him to listen to them. The Human Race was probably looking for him all over the world. This matter was of course very urgent. If Su Ruoyan was online, they would probably look for her again. Unfortunately, Su Ruoyan was busy and didn't have time to come online, so they really couldn't find him.
"Understood. Have the conditions been drawn up?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, Your Highness. This is the treaty that I have discussed with a few lords. Take a look first." Soudeis immediately handed over a stack of documents. "Of course, the target of our agreement is the Crown Prince of the Demons, Marwayne. Based on the current situation, it's more reasonable to help him ascend to the throne and sign the treaty."
"Okay." Li Huailin thought so too. Unfortunately, they didn't manage to capture Bezera. Fortunately, Crown Prince Marwayne was still around. He was injured during the previous siege, and now one of his hands was useless. He should be easy to control. Therefore, Li Huailin planned to let Marwayne sit on the throne first.
Li Huailin took a look at the treaty. It was a little detailed, but in general, it could be summarized as follows: First, Marwayne, as the new Emperor of the Demons, must immediately register and announce that the previous Emperor, Bezera, was a traitor and a fugitive. Second, the territory that the Undead needed was Matthew's territory. Although Matthew had betrayed them, they needed the Demons' affirmation in the treaty. The second was the southern area of the Haigalor River. Since the Mocara Bridge had been destroyed, the Demons couldn't control this area anymore. This area was also bordering the Undead, so of course, it was very good. Third, the compensation. This was not clearly written. It was just a rough calculation of the total assets of the Demons, which was supposed to be shared with the Humans. Finally, there was the issue of the Demons' army and the garrisons in the Demons' territory.
After looking at the document for a while, Li Huailin nodded. Sure enough, Soudeis's writing was very detailed. It seemed that Soudeis was quite good at handling affairs. He wasn't a good fighter, but he was very suitable for paperwork. After thinking about it, Li Huailin said, "Okay, let's do it this way. I will go to the Humans and study the treaty. Then, I will directly represent the Humans to attend the meeting. You will attend the meeting on behalf of the Undead."
"Then, Your Highness, which of these treaties can …"
"No, you do it like this." Li Huailin said and made a gesture. "When negotiating, look at my gesture. When I make this gesture, you agree. When I make this gesture, you object. When I make this gesture, you object. When I make this gesture, you object. When I make this gesture, you object desperately and express your protest. When you see this gesture, you stall for time. Do you understand?"
"Oh." Soudeis wrote it down a little. "Understood, Your Highness."
"Well, I'm in a hurry here. There are still a lot of things to do. Set the negotiation time for tomorrow. Inform the people on the Humans' side in a while, and then I will come back tomorrow." Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Soudeis nodded.
After giving instructions here, Li Huailin continued to be busy. This time, it was the Humans' turn. Sure enough, as soon as Li Huailin returned to the city, he was immediately caught up by a group of soldiers.
"Lord Marshal, something big has happened. His Majesty is looking for you everywhere." The soldiers here said in a hurry.
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin was also planning to go to the palace, so he followed them directly.
At this time, the Humans' palace was also holding a meeting. Of course, the topic of the meeting was the current war situation. The Undead's super speed of breaking the city not only caught the Demons off guard, but also the Humans. No one thought that the Demons' main city would be broken through so quickly. In fact, the Humans' army was still very calm. They hoped that the Undead would arrive first and fight with the Demons for a while. It would be more beneficial for the Humans if both sides consumed a little of their energy. However, they didn't expect the result to be like this. This time, the Humans were also anxious. What was more troublesome was that their commander-in-chief, Li Huailin, was still missing. They didn't know what to do. In any case, the army first sped up to the main city of the Demons. For safety's sake, they didn't choose to enter the city. Marshal Colin, who was at the front line, was also waiting for the Humans' decision on whether to continue fighting or participate in the peace talks between the three countries.
However, although the decision hadn't been made yet, the Humans' preparations for the peace talks had already begun. The most important thing now was for Li Huailin to come back as soon as possible. Only then would they know how to continue. Otherwise, without their commander-in-chief, they wouldn't be able to carry on.
Fortunately, Li Huailin had returned. Before he even arrived, someone had already rushed back to report to the Humans. The ministers here immediately stopped their discussions and listened to the commander-in-chief, Li Huailin's decision.
Soon, Li Huailin was brought into the palace hall. Looking around, he saw that there were some slight changes in the human officials. It seemed that Anthony had been recruiting people recently. After all, these were all old officials. Of course, he had to slowly promote his trusted subordinates. However, he couldn't make too much of a commotion, so the changes were not too big.
"Lord Marshal!" "Lord Marshal!" Because the war hadn't ended yet, all the ministers still called Li Huailin by his military rank. Li Huailin didn't stand on ceremony. He walked directly to Anthony and nodded, then sat in the front row.
"Huailin, have you heard about what happened here?" Anthony asked anxiously.
"Ah, don't worry. Although I didn't have time to come back, I've always been aware of the situation." Li Huailin said. "The speed at which the Undead broke through the city surprised me. I don't know where they found a very large creature and used it to break through the Demons' city gate."
"Yes, I also heard about this. I also asked about it, but no one knew what it was," Anthony said worriedly. Argos was now floating above the Demons' city, so of course, the humans had received the report. Of course, Li Huailin wouldn't admit that it was now listening to him.
"Well, let's not talk about that for now. The main city of the Demon Race here has already been captured. The undead have already informed us of the peace talks. I mean, it's almost time to end the war." Li Huailin now expressed his point of view.
Since the chief commander had said so, the ministers nodded. Then, the direction of the meeting immediately turned to the issue of negotiation, such as what they needed, how much land to compensate, and so on.
"Let me be in charge of the negotiation this time." Li Huailin also said, "The Undead over there are a little arrogant. If it's not me, I'm afraid you won't be able to suppress them. So, let me be in charge."
"Okay, I understand." Anthony didn't think too much about it. After all, Li Huailin had participated in the peace talks with the Dwarves before, so there shouldn't be any problems. "Then, Deputy Envoy's decision is …"
"I …" Suddenly, a female voice was heard, startling everyone.
