Chapter 561 - 500 Crimson Wedding
Amberser only mentioned once in the group that he was about to die, and then never brought up the topic again.
Withered Rose said he was striving to find a way to solve the problem, and the group members all expressed their comfort and their readiness to offer full support.
But soon, everyone realized that the Lich wasn’t trying to save himself at all; he seemed to be completely indifferent to his own death and instead focused wholeheartedly on doing business.
The date for the world peace conference had been set for two months later.
The timing was precise because the cold snap in Laine was particularly harsh this year, causing the Emerald River to freeze over earlier, and the two-month mark would be just before the river thawed.
In other words, if negotiations broke down, the Orcs would only have one more opportunity to organize an attack.
If the Laine People could withstand this attack, they could rely on the river to keep the Orc troubles at bay. Logically, the Orcs should have objections, but in reality, they didn’t because they could only afford one more battle too. If they couldn’t break through the blockade of the Emerald River, they wouldn’t have enough food to continue waging war.
Whenever this battle happened, both sides would only get one chance.
Therefore, the Orcs ultimately didn’t refuse, but they kept emphasizing that the Emperor of Laine must personally attend the conference.
This was naturally not a problem at all; the Laine People had already officially responded that their Emperor would also attend in person.
