Snarr's expression changed slightly upon seeing that his attack had failed, and he immediately turned to flee.
However, water barriers appeared in all three directions, sealing off all avenues of escape.
"Don't be nervous, Snarr; I'm not here to capture you," the intruder said, and didn't do anything aside from the water barriers.
"Then why did Princess Sally stop me?" Snarr leaned against a tree trunk as he appraised Sally, who was standing on a thin branch of a tree, with a wary expression.
The person who had suddenly appeared was none other than Sally, who had been in the limelight recently and had been hailed as the future elven queen of the Wind Forest.
Snarr naturally kept a respectful distance away from this popular figure of Helena's. He hadn't heard about her persecution of the Night Elves, but he knew that Helena was definitely going to find someone she could control to become the princess of the elven race.
Now that she had appeared here and stopped him, he had already given up all hope that he would be able to leave safely.
She was too powerful, and he was no match for her.
She was able to progress to the 8th-tier at such a young age, and even though she was still slightly inferior to the princess, she was still quite a prodigy. Helena had chosen her for a reason; there was no other elf as exceptional as her among the younger generation of the Wind Forest.
Sally looked at Snarr, and said in a calm voice, "I'm here to tell you that Helena left a contingency plan before she left. If you do anything during this period of time, you'll definitely run afoul of Helena's arrangements. I hope you can stay calm."
A hint of surprise flashed through Snarr's eyes, but he was still appraising Sally with a wary expression. "Why are you telling me this?"
Sally looked into his eyes, and replied, "Because I'm also an elf."
Snarr could see the pain and conflict in her eyes in that instant, and he seemed to have understood what she was thinking. He nodded, and said, "Thank you."
"Let me give you a piece of advice; don't trust anyone. There are no friends that you can't betray for the sake of your own interests." Sally's expression quickly returned to normal as she spoke in an indifferent voice. At the same time, she withdrew the water barriers in all directions.
"Thank you." Snarr expressed his gratitude again before taking a final glance at Sally. He then put on his hat and leaped down from the tree, disappearing into the forest in the blink of an eye.
"Am I … doing the right thing?" Sally murmured to herself as she stood on the treetop and looked at the vast forest.
No one answered her. There was only the sound of the wind blowing through the forest.
…
The grand peace conference officially opened under the auspices of Michael. In the past 100 years, the rulers of all the races on the Norland Continent had never gathered together like today. The scale of the conference was truly the highest.
However, in the past hundred years, there had been some conflicts of interest between the various races. There were even neighbors who had been fighting for a hundred years. There were new and old grudges, and the atmosphere was not harmonious. There were even some who were at daggers drawn.
The appearance of Crassus and Julian at Chaos City's seats also shocked all the other representatives.
Although everyone knew that the two of them had been staying in Chaos City recently, given their personalities, they naturally wouldn't join any side casually, especially the Crassus. Their status in the Roth Empire was even higher than Alex's.
However, today, both Alex and Crassus were standing on Chaos City's side. It was really a little magical.
Michael started off by talking about the benefits that the various races had brought to the people in the past hundred years of peace. He also talked about how the various races had cooperated and made some breakthroughs and changes, and the results were remarkable.
These words made Meg sleepy. Luckily, the forest troll representative sitting next to him was really an idiot. The way he sat next to him was too weird, and helped him relieve a lot of his tiredness.
To put it bluntly, today's peace conference was a negotiation between the peace-loving party and the pro-war party. The peace-loving party had already formed a peace alliance with great momentum. Meanwhile, the pro-war party led by the Roth Empire was fighting their own battles. The demons had already fallen apart, and were no longer a concern. The rest was between the Roth Empire and the peace alliance.
As for the orcs, Auster couldn't even deal with Connie now. He had to bring all the powerhouses with him to protect himself whenever he went out. Now, half of the Twilight Forest was in a state where there were no powerhouses protecting it, and no one in charge.
The elves were in a similar situation. He and Irina had stirred things up, liberated a large batch of elven slaves, and even established the Night Elves. It was a devastating blow to the social structure of The Wind Forest. Meanwhile, Snarr and a group of like-minded elves were still dividing the elves. Just these things alone were enough to give Helena a headache. How could she have the energy to talk about war?
"The peace treaty signed back then ended the racial wars on the Norland Continent, and ushered in a period of peaceful development. 100 years have passed, and all the races agreed to hold a peace conference 100 years later to renew the peace treaty." Michael paused for a moment. He looked at the representatives of the various races present, and said, "Everyone is here today to fulfill the 100-year promise. Regarding this, you can all give your opinions. We will discuss it thoroughly and make a wise decision for the Norland Continent."
"There's no point in fighting. The peace treaty is a good one. We dwarves are willing to renew it," the king of the dwarves said straightforwardly.
"We goblins also support the renewal of the peace treaty. There will be no winners if the racial wars are to resume," the goblin chief chimed in.
"Orcs will never be slaves!" Connie shouted as she stood up. She looked at the strange expressions on everyone's faces, and swallowed before shrinking back. She lowered her voice, and said, "We also support the renewal of the peace treaty."
Auster wanted to stand up.
However, Meg glanced at him.
Auster immediately sat down again. His Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't dare to stand up in the end.
Michael stood up again. He looked at everyone, and solemnly said, "I represent Chaos City to make a statement. Chaos City was born because of peace. After all the races signed the peace treaty here and built the Bastie Prison, it slowly developed into a city that accommodates all the races, and allows them to coexist peacefully.
"We will always stand on the side of peace. At the same time, we also hope that all the races can support the peace treaty. War will only make all the races pay a terrible price, and it will be a devastating disaster for the ordinary people.
"Our enemy now is the devil. From the murals, war might increase the devil's power. That is a terrifying existence that can destroy all the races. We should work together to find the devil that escaped from the seal, seal it again, and find a way to kill it permanently."
"We, the giant dragons, support Chaos City's approach. The most important thing now is to find the devil that disappeared. Once it regains its power, or unseals more devils, it will be a disaster for the Norland Continent." Douglas also stood up slowly, and coldly said, "Don't forget that day at the Thunderstorm Mountains. We only faced half of the devil that was sealed, and we almost paid a terrible price to seal it again."
"I object." Right at this moment, a calm voice sounded.
