“Scoundrel! Chaos City and Alex have already colluded. Now, even the forest trolls have given in to Alex’s threats. Would the Roth Empire’s great ambition of unification be ruined in his hands?” Back in his room, Sean threw the vase on the table angrily, smas.h.i.+ng it.
“Your Highness, why don’t we escort you back to Rodu first. It is so chaotic here in Chaos City, and you are injured. It’s also a better idea for you to go back to recuperate for a while,” said a 10th-tier knight to Sean worriedly.
“Yes, Your Highness, I’m afraid Michael would try to harm you. If you don’t leave now, something might happen,” another knight agreed.
“If I left now, it would be desertion.” Sean shook his head. Even when Alex chopped off his arm yesterday, he had never thought of leaving Chaos City.
Losing his arm was no big deal. If he lost his position in Andre’s heart, he would really be left with nothing.
Sean looked at the two generals who were his confidants, and said in a lowered voice, “But I’m afraid Michael already knew that a few of the ordinary elves and humans had died. Based on his usual style, he would not let me leave easily. Plan out a few routes to leave Chaos City in case we really need them.”
“Yes!” The two knights’ expressions turned solemn as they nodded quickly.
Sean had already calmed down. He sat right back at his table, and fell silent with a frown for a while before saying, “Royal Father will begin his journey over to Chaos City tomorrow, and Josh will be staying alone in Rodu. I am afraid that something might happen.”
“You mean Josh will plan a revolt?” one of the knights exclaimed.
“Although Josh’s backing is the Magus Tower, he does not have deep connections within the military. It would not be easy for him to control Rodu, much less the Roth Empire for now. I doubt he would make such a foolish decision,” the other knight commented.
“Don’t underestimate what he did over the last few years, and do not overestimate his patience. With Alex’s death threat and Bruno’s death, it is unlike him not to do anything actively.” Sean laughed coldly with a shake of his head. “Whether my conjecture is right or wrong, we still have to do some preparations. Spread my command, get the northwestern allied forces to…”

“Get someone to keep watch on Sean. From today onwards, ban him from leaving Chaos City,” Michael told Dicus.
“Alright.” Dicus nodded. After that, he said, “The various representatives attending the peace talks will begin their journey over tomorrow. Andre will be personally representing the Roth Empire. How do you intend to settle this matter?”
“When Sean commanded to have the innocent citizens of Chaos City killed, he would have to be responsible for it. Even if he’s the first prince of the Roth Empire, there will be no exception,” Michael said with resolution. “His father will be coming over tomorrow. In that case, I will tell him about this.”
“Yes.” Dicus nodded.
“Double up on the arrangements for the Peace Alliance matters. We must form a strong Peace Alliance tonight so that we can have more say at the peace talks,” Michael instructed Dicus.
“Miss Connie is already on her way. The goblin chief and dwarf king will also be reaching Chaos City tonight. Louis and Douglas, as well as the other chiefs of the large dragon tribes, had already arrived in Chaos City. Right now, we only haven’t set a time to meet Alex and the mysterious Lantisdeans,” Douglas replied quickly.
“To find Alex, just go to the textile factory in the northern part of the city to look for Irina. She knows where Alex is. Only Alex can contact the Lantisdeans.” Michael stood up. “I’ll make a trip out.”
“Sure. I’ll get someone to prepare your carriage.”
“I’ll leave from the back door. Prepare an ordinary-looking horse-drawn carriage.”
In no time at all, an una.s.suming black horse-drawn carriage drove out from the city lord’s castle and to Aden Square.
The horse-drawn carriage stopped by the magic potion shop. Michael got off the carriage, and entered the shop.
Around half an hour later, Michael left the magic potion shop, and traveled to Chaos School.

“I didn’t expect you to kill Bruno.”
When Mag got back to the restaurant, Irina was already sitting inside. The moment he entered, she looked at him with a smile, and said, “This did not seem like something you would do after you became more prudent.”
“Actually, this is the prudent choice. A strong race in a dangerous position is more of a headache than a strong race that has swayed because of worries. Killing Bruno would not only make the forest trolls dispel all thoughts of following the Roth Empire, but it could also strengthen the determination of other races in joining the alliance. It is a worthy investment,” Mag said with a smile as he poured himself a gla.s.s of water.
“Mm-hmm. The effect is there.” Irina looked at Mag with admiration, and said, “Tonight, Michael will be holding the Peace Alliance treaty signing ceremony in the city lord’s castle. He told me to inform you and Lantisde to attend.”
“Dexter has arrived in Chaos City. I can just appear there straight away tonight.” Mag nodded.
“I am a little worried about Connie. Although Auster had lost an arm, he definitely would not take things lying down. Why don’t you pick her up?” Irina told Mag.
“Alright. I think they should have set off by now. I’ll head over.” Mag nodded. He finished the water in his gla.s.s, and left again.
Just as Irina had said, Auster was a firm war fanatic. Initially, after planning the internal conflict within the Falk Tribe, he wanted to take control of the Falk Tribe directly, and thus completely control the entire orc race. However, Connie had foiled his plans.
Now, Connie was preparing to represent the Falk Tribe, and stand by the orcs who supported peace by joining the Peace Alliance. Auster would definitely not let it be.
Rex was only a single person. There was no way he could trust the people of the Falk Tribe yet, so Mag thought that he should pick Connie up.

“Are you sure that they will pa.s.s by here this time?” Auster, who had lost an arm, stood at the edge of a mountain as he looked out in the direction of the Falk Tribe.
“Don’t worry, Sir, this time, the one flying the steed is our man. If he doesn’t bring them over, I’ll kill his entire family. We just have to wait here. There’s no going wrong this time,” an orc at the side guaranteed with a pat on his chest.
“That’d better be the case. Otherwise, I’ll kill your entire family,” Auster said as he looked askance at the orc.
The orc’s expression froze immediately. He let out an unnatural smile, and looked out into the direction of the Falk Tribe, praying inside that the fellow would prove reliable, and bring that little b*tch Connie over.
This time, Auster brought along five 10th-tier orc powerhouses to trap Connie. He came with the intention of killing her so that there would be an official handover in the power of the orcs on the night before the peace talks.
“Go away. I’ll fly this big white bird. I flew to Chaos City before.. I am very experienced, and I know the way!” On the other side, Connie kicked the beast tamer, and took over the reins confidently.
