<h4>Chapter 1764: That Man Is Here!</h4>


    Elliot looked at Sally in disbelief. Before they left, Helena had instructed him not to make any promises about the peace treaty, and watch what the Roth Empire said.


    The Roth Empire had yet to make their stand, and even the forest trolls had not made their stand, but Sally represented the elves to make a stand without even discussing it with him.


    Sally was the new elven princess, and was the best candidate for the next elven queen after Irina had led the Night Elves out of the Wind Forest.


    Helena let her lead the team to participate in such an important meeting so that she could gain more experience, and at the same time to publicly announce that she was the elven princess.


    Therefore, she would naturally be the spokesperson for the elves and the Wind Forest.


    The other representatives were not very surprised by the elves’ choice.


    Throughout the century, the elves had been very knowledgeable, and had been improving at a steady rate as they progressed to be a strong race.


    However, all this waspletely gone after the elven queen went into seclusion and Irina resurfaced, killed three 10th-tier elves, and led the ve elves and some warrior elves out of the Wind Forest.


    Now the elves had to think about how to settle the chaos within the Wind Forest, and deal with the increasingly influential Night Elves who had settled down in Chaos City instead of trying to fight for a piece of the pie with the other races.


    Josh also looked at Sally in shock. This was not supposed to happen in his n. The Wind Forest was supposed to stand with the Roth Empire.


    The forest trolls could not hide their shock as well.


    “War is cruel. However, that does not mean that the status quo is right.” Josh stood up. He calmly said, “The Roth Empire has over 100,000,000 citizens, which is more than the other six racesbined. However, we are among thest three with regards to our territory. On top of that, on our northern side, we have areas of extreme conditions that are uninhabitable.


    “In the past, humans were weak, and we sacrificed a lot to emerge as thest one standing in the racial war. We had no say at all when we signed the peace ord and got our share ofnd.


    “Now that the century-long agreement is up, the Roth Empire needs arger piece ofnd for its people. We are unable to ept the uses of the previous peace ord and renew it.”


    Josh might appear schrly and weak, but his words were impactful. He carried himself with the imposing aura a prince of arge empire should have.


    <i>Big Brother Josh and Royal Father want to start a war? But what he said did make sense… But if a war was to start, many innocent soldiers would lose their lives, right?</i>?Vanessa, who was dozing off, suddenly became wide awake as she listened to the debate. After listening to Josh’s words, she was deep in thought. She did not want the Roth Empire to be embroiled in war.


    The various representatives all had different expressions. After Franklin’s threat, no one dared to go against him, except for the Roth Empire with a very clear goal—to redistribute the territories.


    “If we were to start the racial war again, how muchnd does Andre think that he can im?” Franklin asked Josh.


    Josh looked Franklin in the eye, and said, “If the giant dragons do not join the war, the Roth Empire will win.”


    “And if the giant dragons were to join the war?”


    “The Roth Empire and the giant dragons could splitnd amongst them,” Josh replied.


    Amotion broke out in the restaurant all of a sudden. This fellow was belittling all the other races.


    The Roth Empire had grown stronger day by day, and all the races could see that. On top of that, Alex, who appeared out of nowhere,pletely changed everyone’s perception that humans were weak.


    Even so, no one felt that the Roth Empire was on par with the giant dragons.


    Today, the second prince of the Roth Empire made a grand deration that the Roth Empire could wipe out the other races andpete with the giant dragons.


    “Arrogant brat!” Auster chided. He shot up and red at Josh as he mocked, “The Roth Empire can’t even cross the orcs’ borders, and have never had a big victory in the wars at the border, and you dare to say that you can rule the entirend?”


    “Perhaps to you, orcs, it was a war, but to the Roth Empire’s steel rides, that was just a practice session for our soldiers. We have a yearly shift change for our top 10 military departments.” Josh looked at Auster sympathetically. “It’s not that we can’t cross the border, it’s just that this poor piece ofnd doesn’t really catch our eyes.”


    Auster stumbled and sat back into his seat, as though he had been dealt a huge blow.


    “So… so every year, the Roth Empire’s army would be slightly weaker for a period of time not because they could not adjust to the season, but because they were changing to a new batch of soldiers?” The orcs around swallowed their saliva, looking as though they had lost their souls.


    Upon hearing that, the other representatives started to take things seriously.


    The Roth Empire and orcs always had their wins and losses in the border war in all these years. Therefore, the other races always thought that the Roth Empire was just slightly stronger than the orcs, but never to the point where they couldpletely thrash thetter. Therefore, the other races had never taken the empire seriously.


    No one knew that the Roth Empire had been growing secretly throughout the century, and had already surpassed the other races by arge margin, to the point of catching up to the giant dragons. That really caught everyone off guard.


    The forest troll representative stood up after finding some courage, and said, “The forest trolls also think that the previous territory division was unfair, and we are also unwilling to renew the peace ord. We request to have thend redivided based on the various races’ strength.”


    The forest trolls were actually rather strong as well, but they werecking in numbers. However, as long as they reached adulthood, they would be able to reach the 5th-tier, and their middle to top-tierbat abilities were really astonishing.


    Even the giant dragons would have to be careful and consider how best to deal with the Roth Empire and forest trolls together.


    The situation, which was looking good, suddenly made a turn for the worse.


    Elliot stood up anxiously. “The elves—”


    “Elliot, watch yourself,” Sally chided.


    Elliot was stumped. He turned back to look at Sally, and anxiously said, “Sally, this is not something you could decide. High Priestess Helena—”


    “I don’t care what the high priestess told you. I am the elven princess and also the leader of this team. My words represent the elves, and I will naturally be responsible for all my people,” Sally said coldly.


    Elliot wanted to continue. “But—”


    “Imand you to sit and stay silent.” Sally shed out her tablet and ordered expressionlessly.


    “You… You’ll do us in…” Elliot let out a long sigh and sat back down.


    “Good fellow, you’ve got some guts.” Franklin saw Josh in a different light. He then closed his eyes a little frustratedly. He didn’t expect that the giant dragons would be threatened by the humans one day.


    In the past, the giant dragons were the ones who protected the humans so that thetter did not get exterminated by the demons and orcs.


    “It’s not guts. It’s confidence,” Josh said calmly. He raised his eyebrows, and proudly said, “There will be no doubt regarding the oue of the war, and we will be able to get what we want.”


    “The confidence that the soldiers of the empire exchanged their lives and blood for was not for the royal family to use in war.” Just then, the restaurant door opened, and a silhouette carrying a sword walked in.
