The sudden appearance of a female voice startled everyone. This was the main hall of the Human Race's palace, a place to discuss military and state affairs. There was not a single female official in the entire main city (there were female lords), so there shouldn't be any women in the main hall. Where did this voice come from?
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman walking out from the side door next to Emperor Anthony. When the ministers saw this woman, they immediately understood what was going on. This woman was Her Royal Highness, Anthony's sister, Su Lan.
Seeing Su Lan, Anthony felt a little headache. This sister of his was really hard to handle, but there was no other way. She was Anthony's only blood relative now. To be honest, if Anthony suddenly died now, Su Lan would definitely ascend to the throne and become the new Empress. This was because Anthony had no children yet. Anthony doted on her very much. Anthony also doted on her a lot. Basically, Anthony would satisfy any of her requests. Last time, when Su Lan wanted to be a general, Anthony sent her to Li Huailin's side. In the end, not long after, Su Lan ran back crying. Of course, it was not that Li Huailin bullied her, but because he felt sorry for the soldiers who died in the battle. After that, Su Lan was quiet for a long time.
She was indeed quiet for a long time. Anthony was also busy with state affairs and almost forgot about her. He didn't expect her to jump out at this time. Anthony … had a headache.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm willing to be the deputy envoy." Su Lan was relatively formal in the hall. She didn't really say things like "Brother, I want to go, I want to go". At least in the eyes of the ministers, Princess Su Lan was still a well-educated and reasonable member of the royal family.
"No, Su Lan …" Anthony was really having a headache. One moment she was a general, the next moment she was going to go on a diplomatic mission. The problem was that she didn't have the experience. This was an important negotiation with the Undead and Demons. She might cause trouble if she went. However, Anthony couldn't say it directly because he knew that his sister was strong. If he said she couldn't do it, she would definitely go.
The ministers didn't know what to do. In fact, there was no problem for Su Lan to participate in the meeting on behalf of the royal family. Her identity was enough, but the ministers didn't know if anything would happen. No one knew how good Su Lan was at negotiating. After thinking about it, all the ministers chose to stay silent. This was a headache for Emperor Anthony. It had nothing to do with them. If they casually stood up against a royal family, they would be courting death.
"Oh, I remember now." It was only now that Li Huailin remembered who this person was. In fact, he had almost forgotten about her. At the beginning of the war, the 2nd Division was having a hard time delivering the troops. He could win no matter how he fought, so he couldn't even forcefully deliver the troops. When he had no choice, Anthony suddenly sent this person over. That was great. Li Huailin decisively handed the task of delivering the troops over to him. The result was really good. He delivered a good batch of troops. After that, this person disappeared without saying goodbye to him. It was only then that Li Huailin remembered that this person still existed.
"Anthony's sister." Li Huailin suddenly realized something. In fact, he had some questions to ask Anthony, but considering that Anthony had lost his memory, Li Huailin felt that it would be useless to ask. But now that Su Lan suddenly appeared, it reminded Li Huailin. Anthony might not remember, but Su Lan didn't lose her memory. She should remember something.
Just when Anthony was having a headache, Li Huailin said, "Ah, I think it's not bad."
"Sigh …" Anthony was a little surprised. "Huailin, are you serious?"
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. The negotiation here was completely up to him. There was no need for any negotiation skills at all. The deputy envoy was just to help Li Huailin deal with the paperwork. It shouldn't be difficult. Even if the paperwork was not enough, there was still the envoy to do odd jobs. Anyway, Su Lan was not the only one, so it didn't matter who the deputy envoy was. "It's not a problem. Anyway, I think it's good for the royal family to send someone. It can increase the momentum. And I think Princess Su Lan is quite capable."
"Is that so?" Anthony looked doubtful.
"Really?" What was worse was that even Su Lan looked doubtful. Li Huailin almost knelt down in front of her. Big Sister, you don't even have confidence in yourself. Why did you jump out?
"I think so." Li Huailin said. "Princess Su Lan is also an important figure in the Empire. I think it's necessary for her to go out and train a little. Anyway, with me around, I don't think she'll cause any big trouble … right?"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Anthony nodded. Indeed, because the Human Race's royal bloodline was a little lacking, Su Lan couldn't grow up and wait for marriage like the other princesses. She would probably have to bear a lot of responsibilities in the future, so some things were necessary. This negotiation was a good chance to practice. Anthony was more at ease with Li Huailin leading the team, so he thought about it and nodded.
"Su Lan, I agree to let you go, but you have to promise me that you'll listen to the Duke of Aquitaine's orders. It's an order, understand? The war is not over yet. The Duke of Aquitaine is still the Empire's Grand Marshal, so if anything happens, I really have to act first and report later. If you really don't listen, even I can't protect you, "Anthony said very seriously.
"Yes, Your Highness. Don't worry." Su Lan nodded seriously.
"Huailin, I'm counting on you." Although Anthony said that it was fine to let Li Huailin punish Su Lan according to the military law, of course, he could not really let Li Huailin punish her according to the military law. Anthony hurriedly gave Li Huailin a look.
"Okay, no problem." Li Huailin nodded.
"Since we've decided on the negotiation and the candidates have been decided, let's discuss the contents of the negotiation," Anthony said.
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard suddenly appeared at the door. "Your Highness, Marshal Colin has an urgent report."
"Yes, Mach." Anthony nodded. The guard immediately handed the report in his hand to Prime Minister Mach. Mach took a look and frowned.
"Your Highness, Marshal Colin said that the undead have just informed them that they hope to start the negotiation tomorrow," Mach reported.
"Tomorrow? Why is it so urgent? " Anthony felt a little strange. In theory, the undead shouldn't want to negotiate immediately because they were currently occupying the main city of the Demons, and the humans hadn't entered the city yet. In other words, the undead had plenty of time to plunder the main city of the Demons, and the treasures they found would belong to the undead. It was impossible for these things to appear in the negotiation. Therefore, the undead should be very happy now, and they would only start the negotiation after the humans had finished plundering or plundering. But now, it was very strange. Why were the undead urging the humans to start the negotiation so soon? What was going on?
"That's a good thing, but why?" Mach also thought of this very quickly, and he looked puzzled.
"What do you think, Huailin?" Anthony thought for a moment, then looked at Li Huailin.
"Who knows, but it's not a bad thing for us. We'll know the situation after the negotiation," Li Huailin said. "Tomorrow it is. I don't have any problems on my side."
"Okay." Anthony nodded. After all, it wasn't a bad thing for the humans to negotiate earlier. "Reply to Colin, agree to the undead's request, and start the negotiation tomorrow. Then, inform the negotiators on our side about the situation."
"Yes, Your Highness." The guards received the order and immediately went out to report.
"Is there anything else here? The negotiation will start tomorrow. If there's nothing else, let the negotiators get ready, "Anthony said.
"Oh, there's something on my side," Li Huailin suddenly raised his hand and said.
"Well, what's the matter, Huailin?" Anthony asked.
"Is there any news about the battle between the elves and the orcs?" Li Huailin asked. "Did the elves contact us?"
"Oh." Anthony didn't answer. Instead, Prime Minister Mach asked, "General, the elves have the upper hand in the battle, so they shouldn't contact us."
"Eh? Is that so? Why did I hear that the orcs have begun to fight back, and have already pushed the elves back? "Li Huailin asked.
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned. They were so focused on their own battles that they didn't pay attention to the Northern Continent at all.
"Really?" It was Anthony's first time hearing about this, too. "Since we are allies of the elves, it's very likely that they will ask us for help. Huailin, should we send out our troops?"
"That's just what I heard. I'm not too sure about the situation. How about this? After the negotiation is over, I'll pay a visit to the elves. After all, I'm just a messenger. I'll ask them what's going on, and then decide if we should intervene. What do you think?" Li Huailin said.
"Okay." Anthony didn't think much of Li Huailin's words. Li Huailin's words made sense. He then turned to the ministers and said, "Everyone, keep an eye on the situation in the Northern Continent. If there's any news, report it to me immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness," all the ministers replied.
"Thank you for your hard work, Huailin. You have to travel so many places," Anthony said.
"It's nothing, but I don't have much time. It'll be best if I can go to the elves after the negotiation is over. So, please notify the elves for me. It'll be best if you do it immediately," Li Huailin said.
"Okay."
