Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Pranav
I received the Tark Republic’s undead envoy group in an e outside the Forest of Drearoups were no different fros weren’t considered top secret, I still didn’t want to show them to the Tark Republic
“…Halu the Twelfth? What a strange na systee, but to us, they represent our entire lives”
The main envoy was a vampire marquis Tall, white, and handsome, he was clad in ancient black ceremonial attire and held a black staff in his hands He slowly yet clearly articulated each sentence in a logical h his speech was so appearance, he resembled an old-fashi+oned aristocrat
As for hi me “Your Majesty,” that ithout any formality at all It was just the typical way the undead respected Se since known the fact that I was Yongye Actually, I had already resolved s were impossible to conceal from everyone If I was an Undead Emperor exiled from the mortal plane, I would have been really interested in the only new Undead E of every method I could to obtain all possible inforh he was quite deep in enemy territory and surrounded on all sides, the envoy, Halu the Twelfth, was quite gracious and seemed to be an experienced diplomat With warance that only tiiven hi with hisa little rude, as we didn’t even invite him inside the forest and had casually found hiet to the point What are you here for? I don’t have the tiames with you”
In spite of my bluntness, this vampire marquis undead—as, at the minimum, at the Saint rank—htly
“Of course, ould not waste Your Majesty’s ti matters My reetings from the other Undead Emperors, was, in sooth, a small matter that I would like to ask Lady Gria …”
Not uessed at what they wanted And the next oal, my prediction was proven correct
“You want to ally with the Xiluo Empire?”
Since the Xiluo Empire was an undead country like the Tark Republic, in a way they were the only possible ally for the Tark Republic in the entire world
Also, don’t judge Gria by how unreliable she seemed when she ith me As the former Fourth Senator, in a situation where the First and Second Senators had been deposed and the Third Senator Harloys was “,” Gria was indeed the number-one ranked individual under Omar Even Lionheart, the current Xiluo Empire’s prime minister, would have to respect her opinions on every matter
When I turned around to look at Gria as standing beside lance inher head She reiving ht to answer for her
“It’s even better to be able to discuss this personally with you” Halu’s elegant s this Not even a hint of surprise showed upon his face, as if he had long since guessed at this outcome
Well, his tricks didn’t need to be stated out loud In a way, the Xiluo Empire had already become one of the most important parts of the future Mist Alliance, and any perceptive individual would be able to figure out who really was behind the Mist Alliance
But, from a certain standpoint, this was also a standard diplomatic tactic, to test whether the Xiluo Eye’s control In front of such a sly veteran diplomat, Gria had instantly revealed the truth that I was still in charge as she was used to only thinking about combat matters
“Alliance? Do you really think it’s possible?”
It had been quite difficult forthe Xiluo E the le country in Eich The moment the Xiluo Empire allied with the Tark Republic, Xiluo would likely be viewed as the same as the Tark Republic, which would waste all of my previous efforts
“As ancient undead who haven’t been back to their ho while, we find it quite fortunate that we have been able to see another undead country in our original hohted to see that the Xiluo Empire’s citizens have achieved a peaceful relationshi+p with the living We understand that your country hasn’t had it easy in a world filled with enemies, but, at the very least, allow us to express our friendliness to plant a seed of opportunity for the future”
His words were rather roundabout and slightly difficult to understand, but to express it in an easier“Even if we can’t become official allies now due to the circumstances, we’re simply here to express our friendshi+p, and we just want to improve our relationshi+p”
It would seem that Halu was indeed an expert diplo useless like, “We pro as foolish like, “We’ll pretend that Emperor Aso’s death didn’t happen” Instead, he had jumped directly to the main topic
His directness and sincerity had actually given ood first iraphy of this region, the conflict betood spirits and the undead was practically unavoidable Not to norable matter for the Tark Republic, and it would only be natural to blame us for it
Since the conflict between both sides was unavoidable, with battle the only result in the future, saying so so obviously fake like, “We won’t have any conflicts any ence Unfortunately, eneration’s diplo only pretty words they felt their targets wanted to hear Not only would they be unable to fool their targets, they would be all the more despised
But, if it was only to express their friendliness, there would have been no need for this vampire marquis to personally cofor him to speak up
Finally, Halu was unable to wait any longer, and his tone contained disgust and absolute loathing as he spoke again
