"Yes, in my conversation with him, I also feel that he is indeed a person worthy of admiration." Zi Yun Theodore thought of the attitude Xiao Ran showed when he met Xiao Ran and nodded slightly. When he looked at the princess, Zi Yun Theodore continued, "That President Xiao Ran asked me to meet with the princess. Does the princess want me to give an accurate reply?"
"No, with the princess's noble status, how can you lower yourself to meet with those earthlings?" Before the princess replied, the elder at the bottom of the stairs directly rejected without thinking. However, when he noticed Zi Yun Theodore's sharp and dissatisfied eyes, he quickly said, "Even if you want to meet, it should be them who come here to meet the princess."
"Sir, if it's just a meeting, I don't think we can refuse." The princess sighed softly and said, "The other side has already surrounded the moon with their fleet, so they should be prepared for us to refuse. If it were us, I'm afraid we wouldn't allow an unknown threat to stay by our side."
The middle-aged knight who looked cold and gloomy looked at the elder who just spoke and asked a more rational and practical question, "Sir Hugh, what do you think of the earth's military power? What are the other side's requirements and conditions, and where should we meet?"
Zi Yun Theodore said, "He gave us 15 days, so we must give an appropriate reply within this time to decide whether to treat us with kindness or hostility. At the same time, he also expressed his kindness to me and is willing to accept our race to integrate into the earth and live together with the other races under his rule."
"However, the proposed request is to disband the existing armed forces. I'm afraid that at most, he will allow us to keep a portion of our forces to protect the princess and defend ourselves. The rest of the forces must be merged into the earth defense army that is currently being adjusted and work together to shoulder the safety of the earth."
"And if we refuse, then apart from leaving here, we can only be hostile." Zi Yun Theodore took a deep breath and said, "I don't agree with being hostile to the earthlings. With the strength of that fleet, they can defeat the Voidbringers with only conventional weapons and are not inferior to us. However, in terms of numbers, they far exceed us. I have reason to believe that they have more backup plans that can completely wipe out our race, even if we use that."
"Once the war starts, it will definitely evolve into an endless war between races. Even if we can win, how many of us will live to welcome the victory in the end?"
"In fact, we can also see that the enemy has several completely different weapons systems. This means that this fleet that was once exiled had come into contact with at least a few civilizations without our knowledge. To be able to absorb the technology of those civilizations and integrate the people of those civilizations into them, the power of this fleet is definitely not to be underestimated."
"And if we accept, the other side can promise the princess to bring a hundred airframes as guards and fifty attendants during the meeting. Moreover, they have set the meeting location on the moon which is more advantageous to us. They have already shown considerable sincerity on this point."
At this point, Zi Yun Theodore closed his mouth and did not say anything else. However, his words made the expressions of the three standing below the stairs change collectively. Apart from the bald man, the other two showed expressions of anger out of humiliation.
The chief strategist's old face was full of humiliation and anger. He stomped his feet and said angrily, "Damn it, how dare they make such a request. That kind of inferior race actually wants to control us and make our honorable warriors listen to their orders and fight for them. They even want to disband our army. Such conditions are absolutely unacceptable."
"That's right. Moreover, they want the princess to put herself in danger. As the chief knight, I will never agree to such a thing." The chief knight also nodded with a gloomy face. He turned to the princess and bowed, "Your Highness, please give the order for our army to fight. I will definitely dedicate the head of that arrogant bastard and the earth to Your Highness."
The bald man, however, let out a sinister laugh and took the initiative to step back without saying a word. The chief spy in charge of the spy department seemed to be taking the initiative to distance himself from the two people who had expressed their opinions.
"War?" The princess bit her lower lip with a face full of hesitation and worry. She looked at the chief knight and chief strategist's anger below and then looked at Zi Yun Theodore's silent determination. She fell into a struggle and hesitation for a moment. She said with a soft voice, "If it's just a meeting, it might not be a bad thing. Since the other side proposed to meet, they didn't hide their military operations. Perhaps they just want to give us a warning. Perhaps both sides can understand each other more after meeting and know each other's needs. Right now, we don't have the ability to accept another war."
"Your Highness!"
The chief knight and chief strategist both looked at the princess in shock and revealed an unwilling expression. However, the princess ignored the two's unwillingness and lightly shook her head. She said with a more and more determined voice, "Then, Mr. Huhne, please help me reply to President Xiao Ran, who controls the earth. Tell him our answer. We will meet in three days. I hope President Xiao Ran can arrange a meeting place as soon as possible."
Zi Yun Theodore put his hand on his chest and bowed, "Yes."
"No!" The chief knight stood up and pointed at Zi Yun Theodore with an inexplicable aura, "As the chief knight, I definitely cannot agree to this. I cannot allow the honorable princess to put herself in danger."
Zi Yun Theodore slightly frowned, "Then what does the chief knight mean?"
"My opinion is the same as the chief strategist's." The head knight did not hesitate to pull in the chief strategist who opposed with him just now. However, he changed his mind slightly and said, "We can agree to the other party's request for a meeting, but the princess can choose not to go. I will be the envoy for this meeting."
Zi Yun Theodore frowned, but after thinking about it, he nodded, "That's good too. There is no need for the princess to put herself in danger."
