Snarr’s expression changed after his attack failed. He turned to quickly leave.
However, water shields appeared in the other three directions, sealing his escape route.
“Snarr, don’t be nervous. I’m not here to capture you,” that person spoke. Other than the water shield, that person did not do anything else.
“In that case, I wonder why you, Princess Sally, are holding me back?” Snarr leaned against the tree trunk, and looked cautiously at Sally, who was standing on a very thin branch.
The person who suddenly appeared was no one else, but the one who had been the recent hot topic, the one hailed as the future elf queen of the Wind Forest, Sally.
Snarr would naturally stay as far away as possible from this hot favorite of Helena’s. Although he had not heard of her doing anything to the Night Elves, he knew that Helena would definitely find someone whom she could control to be the elven princess this time.
Her appearance here, and his being trapped, told him that he should not have hopes of leaving this place safely.
His opponent was too strong, and he was not her match.
For her to break through to the 8th-tier at her age, although it still could not be compared to the Princess when she was at that age, Sally was already considered a genius. Helena had her reasons to choose her. There was no other young elf in the Wind Forest better than her.
Snarr looked at Snarr, and said peacefully, “I am here to tell you that Helena had her backup plan before leaving. If you decide to do anything during this period, you will definitely fall into her trap. I hope you can remain composed.”
Snarr was stunned. However, he was still cautious. “Why are you telling me all this?”
“Because I am also an elf,” Sally told him softly as she looked into his eyes.
Snarr saw pain and torture in her eyes momentarily, and seemed to have understood her intentions. He nodded slightly, and said, “Thank you.”
“A piece of advice for you. Don’t believe anyone. For the sake of benefits, there are no friends that cannot be betrayed,” Sally said emotionlessly as she quickly regained her composure and aloofness, and removed the water shields.
“Thank you,” Snarr thanked again. He looked Sally in the eye again before putting his hat on, and leaping off the tree. Very quickly, he disappeared among the dense forest.
“Is what I’m doing… right?” Sally stood on the branch as she looked out at the dense vegetation while muttering to herself.
There was no reply, only the sound of the gentle breeze passing through the forest.

The grand peace talks started officially hosted by Michael. Within a century, there had never been a day like today where all those who helmed the different races gathered in one room.
However, there were some conflicts of interest between the races within the century. There were even neighbors who fought for a century. There were new feuds and old grievances, so the atmosphere was not very amicable. It was even rather tense.
Krassu and Urien’s appearance as representatives of Chaos City also shocked some of the other race representatives.
Although everyone knew that these two had been living in Chaos City recently, based on their characteristics, they should not take a side. This was especially so for Krassu as his position in the Roth Empire was even higher than Alex’s.
However, today, Alex and Krassu had both stood on Chaos City’s side, and that made one feel unbelievable.
Michael made an opening speech about the century of peace, how the harmony amongst the races had been beneficial, and how the cooperation between races had led to some breakthroughs and changes with obvious results.
All these words made Mag sleepy. Thankfully, the forest troll representative sitting beside him was quite a character. He had too many strange expressions and movements sitting beside him, and that made Mag less bored.
The peace talks today were basically the negotiations between the pro-peace and pro-war factions. The pro-peace faction had already formed the imposing Peace Alliance, while the pro-war faction led by the Roth Empire had their own conflicts. The demons were internally divided, and were not strong enough to be significant. It was basically the Roth Empire against the Peace Alliance.
As for the orcs, Auster could not even settle Connie right now. He had to bring many powerhouses everywhere with him the moment he stepped out of his house. Right now, half of the Twilight Forest had no powerhouses to guard it.
The elves were in a rather similar situation. Mag and Irina stirred up a situation, releasing a large number of elven slaves, and even set up the Night Elves, dealing a critical blow to the Wind Forest’s societal structure. Meanwhile, Snarr and some like-minded elves were still trying to change things domestically. Just all this alone was enough to give Helena a headache. She would not have the energy to talk about an external war.
“Back then, the peace treaty that was signed ended the racial war on the Norland Continent, and ushered in a period of peaceful development. Now that a century has passed, we are here to restart the peace talks, and continue the peace treaty that was signed a century ago.” Michael paused for a while. He looked at the various representatives present, and said, “Today, everyone is here for the promise made a century ago. For this, everyone can raise their opinion, and we can discuss it so that we can come up with a wise choice for the Norland Continent.”
“What’s the point of fighting? I find the peace treaty pretty good. We, the dwarves, are willing to extend the treaty,” the king of the dwarves said quickly.
“The goblins are also supportive of extending the peace treaty. There will be no winners if the racial war starts again,” the goblin chief said.
“The orcs will not be slaves!” Connie shouted her slogan as she stood up. She looked at everyone giving her a weird gaze, and swallowed her saliva as she shrank back into her seat, saying with a softer voice, “We are supportive of extending the peace treaty.”
Auster wanted to stand as well.
Mag glanced at him.
Auster quickly sat back down. He swallowed and did not dare to stand again
Michael stood up once again. He looked at everyone, and said in a low voice, “I represent the Chaos City to make our stand. Chaos City was born from peace, and because of the peace treaty signed back then, the Bastie Prison was built. Slowly, it developed into what it is right now, a city where people from different races live harmoniously.
“We will always be standing with peace, and at the same time, we hope that everyone can stand with peace. War would only make all the races pay a heavy price, and it would be a catastrophic disaster to the citizens.
“Right now, our enemy is the devil. Based on the mural, war can help the devil grow. Its existence is scary as it could destroy any race. We should work together and first find the devil that escaped the seal, and then reseal it. Meanwhile, we should also find a way to get rid of it permanently.”
“We, the giant dragons, agree with Chaos City. Right now, the most important thing is to find the missing devil. Once it recovers its abilities, or more devils break through their seals, that will mean the end of the Norland Continent.” Douglas stood up slowly, and said coldly, “Don’t forget that day at the Thunderstorm Mountains. We were only facing half of the sealed devil, but we paid a painful price before we managed to reseal it.”
“I disagree..” Just then, a low voice sounded.
