When the negotiation reached a stalemate, a dragon’s roar echoed from the sky, followed by twelve golden giant dragons landing behind the alien camp.
Witnessing this scene, the atmosphere on site instantly beca tense.
"Maxim, didn’t you say the Dragon Race wouldn’t interfere in continental affairs?"
Hudson asked with concern.
Just by their size alone, you could tell these giant dragons were not to be trifled with. The leading golden dragon was even more massive than Maxim’s large fra.
"That’s right, the Dragon Race doesn’t ddle in continental disputes, but it doesn’t guarantee that giant dragons won’t partake in continental affairs.
These guys in front of us are just so giants among the Golden Dragons and don’t represent the entire Dragon Race!"
Maxim’s calm response left Hudson speechless.
Whether they can represent the whole Dragon Race, the outco is the sa.
The Human Race only had a slight advantage over the Alien Coalition, but these twelve powerful golden giant dragons were enough to reverse the balance of power.
"Sheruberty, we weren’t too late, were we?"
The leading golden dragon asked apologetically.
According to the agreent between both sides, they should have arrived yesterday.
"Ultado, if you had been any later, you might have missed even the chance to collect bodies!"
The Forest Elf Queen replied irritably.
The plan had been perfect, but this unreliable hidden force didn’t arrive at the critical mont on the battlefield.
The victory that was supposed to be assured was tragically turned into mutual destruction.
A single mistake leads to subsequent errors.
The combatants of the Alien Coalition were both physically and ntally exhausted, with many relying on sheer willpower, while the enemies remained energetic.
To continue the slaughter would only increase the losses, serving no purpose.
Such a stark contrast inevitably led to resentnt.
"Haha..."
"Sheruberty, after hundreds of years, your tongue is still sharp.
Forget it, your Dragon Emperor order should not be used in vain.
Since we’re here, we can’t just stand idle, so let handle the negotiations for you!"
After speaking, Golden Dragon Emperor Urtado shrank his body and approached the negotiation team.
"Human kids, listen up.
Today, Lord Dragon is in a good mood and doesn’t wish to initiate a massacre, so return from where you ca.
Sheruberty, what do you want?"
Urtado’s humorous performance, though amusing, caused no one on site to laugh.
It seed carefree, but was filled with calculation.
Hudson couldn’t believe the giant dragons made a mistake with the ti; the reason for their late arrival was singular: they did it deliberately!
In a chaotic battle involving hundreds of Third Order Sanctuary mbers, participating as a giant dragon still carried risks of falling.
Appearing at a crucial juncture in negotiations was clearly intentional.
On the battlefield, several Dragon Knights might very well be linked to so of the giant dragons relaying intelligence.
The war was that brutal, three Dragon Knights had perished, yet not a single dragon had fallen.
Rather than re coincidence, Hudson preferred to believe this was ’the ways of the world.’
Combining it with previous battles, the most deadly strikes from several old elves specifically targeted him and Belsden, further proving this.
The deaths of three Dragon Knights might as well have been a conspiracy.
Dragons entering the Human World were rely looking for experiences, while knights achieving Sanctuary status were simply tying them down.
It’s fine if the relationship was good, but if it soured or faded, dragons wanting to dissolve the contract made sense.
Yet, to dissolve the contract required mutual consent.
The hard-earn powers that were suddenly threatened with loss wouldn’t sit well with anyone.
If communication faltered, "accidents" would be engineered.
"Our demands are very simple: the Human Race cedes so territory and signs a highly binding thousand-year ceasefire treaty."
The Forest Elf Queen firmly declared.
Now having strong support, their appetite naturally grew.
"Sheruberty, are you sure the thousand-year ceasefire treaty will take effect?
These human whelps before us might not survive for more than a millennium!
I think setting the period at six hundred years is sufficient. After all, your Elf’s Mother Tree has already recovered.
An additional six hundred years of accumulation is enough to contend evenly with the Human Race!"
Urtado’s response further strengthened Hudson’s assessnt.
The Dragon Race was deliberately maintaining balance on the continent!
No wonder the Continent of Aslante had remained chaotic for so many years without anyone unifying it.
It wasn’t that dominant species didn’t consider it; rather, soone was sabotaging and causing chaos.
The combined forces of the Dragon Race and the Warcraft Clan, these seemingly insignificant forces, were enough to sway the result of continental wars at critical monts.
Looking at their current operations, it was evident that while supporting the Elf Race, they were simultaneously creating troubles for them.
ntioning the recovery of the Elf’s Mother Tree was obviously a deliberate attempt to pit Human Race nations against the rise of the Elf Race.
"Eight hundred years!
Quite a few warriors here have the potential to break through the Third Order of the Sanctuary; as long as they don’t seek their own destruction, they’ll surely still be alive after eight hundred years."
The Forest Elf Queen strived hard in her negotiations.
Eight hundred years of peaceful tis was nothing to the Dragon Race but could significantly change the power dynamics.
The Human Alliance that seed united now might face uncertainty in maintaining cohesion.
Even if various Human Race nations continued to remain strong, the different races within the Anti-Human Alliance could recover.
Even if the Elf Race doesn’t leave the continent, by then, they could still rely on the power of the alliance to stand on equal footing with the Human Race.
With so luck, they might even overturn humanity’s supremacy and reclaim their position as continental overlords.
