Chapter 1301
Representatives from the International Federation; the Three Empires; the Holy Empire; the Demon King; and finally the Saint, who was at the center of the entire affair, had agreed to a summit.
News of the armistice agreement between the demons and humans spread like wildfire, sparking massive backlash and chaos.
Yes, the demons had indeed shown up with an army, but it had been to help the humans. However, it was also true that only a few years had passed since the two sides had fought a bloody war.
Most of the countries that reacted furiously were among the weaker nations. Unfortunately for them, that meant they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
For whatever reason, the Three Empires and the more prominent countries were all signaling that they were willing to at least try negotiations first, which made the weaker ones angry.
However, the most irate were the remaining royals of the Haetan Kingdom. They packed up their remaining funds and headed straight to the Contas Empire, staking their lives on a plea to the Emperor.
They asked him to ruin what they claimed was a ridiculous negotiation. They didn’t care about why the demons had helped the humans, or the current state of affairs.
The emperor simply looked at the royal family of Haetan, saying, “How amusing. You release such a creature into the world, causing the deaths of countless people, and now you want us to fight the demons who helped us clean up your mess? Do you take us for mercenaries who move at your command?”
The emperor wasn’t particularly thrilled about the negotiations, either. In fact, up until then, he had held off on making a decision and even leaned toward opposing it.
“Thanks to you, my mind's made up,” he declared. “I’ll take part in the negotiations.”
“Y-Your Majesty!” one of them cried out.
“Shut your mouth! If it were up to me, I’d burn the Haetan Kingdom to the ground for hiding that monster and giving it power. Still, I know that even that would be the result of the creature’s influence. That’s the only reason I’m sparing you unnecessary bloodshed.”
