Chapter 461

"Therefore, we need more time to discuss the details of the punishment, and..."

As he spoke, Odin slowly looked at Alles and said meaningfully, "A more professional and fair team, what do you think, Alles?"

"... Hmph, indecisive, Odin, you're really getting old."

The old Thunder Dragon King didn't care about Alles's disdain for him.

In any case, all he dares to do is 'disdain'.

"Now that everyone has shared their thoughts, let's have a final vote."

After a simple show of hands, the result was the same as last time: even with the traitor Dragon King not participating in the vote, the majority still supported Leon's idea.

It seems that although the Dragon Kings are unable to make peace with each other, they all yearn for a more stable racial environment.

Arles was naturally dissatisfied with this result.

He left in anger after voting.

"Thank you all for attending this Dragon King Secret Meeting. I am also very grateful to the Silver Dragon Prince and the Thunder Dragon King for their decision. Thank you. Now, this secret meeting—"

"Wait, Kade, there's one more thing to confirm," Odin said, raising his hand.

"Please speak."

"With the change of imperial power, this Human-Dragon War is coming to an end. After a century, we may need to have a formal negotiation with this tenacious race."

"Negotiation..."

"That's right. And as for who to negotiate with humans, I have a recommendation—"

After saying that, the old man raised his hand and slapped Leon hard on the shoulder.

"Pfft—"

A soft laugh suddenly came from the serious conference table.

Odin looked in the direction of the laughter. "Red Dragon King, do you have any complaints about the person I recommended—who is also your own brother-in-law?"

The older sister waved her hands repeatedly, while trying not to laugh, "No, no, I just... just remembered something happy."

Sending Leon to negotiate with the humans—while Losweiser wanted to laugh at the idea, she held back and gently nudged her sister's arm, whispering a reminder.

"Laugh when you get home, laugh when you get home."

At this moment, General Leon, who was already in a daze, tried to imagine himself representing all the Dragon Race to negotiate with humans.

Result--

I can't even imagine it, you bastard!

30. Listen to me, don't rush.

Leon thought that Odin's desire to negotiate with the Empire was still just a concept.

Therefore, the recommended negotiator may only be a token gesture to praise Leon, and will not actually send him.

But a few days later, General Leon, who was still taking care of his child at the Silver Dragon Sanctuary, suddenly received a message from the Twilight Tower Master.

The contents of the letter were simple—and, of course, explosive.

The gist of the matter is that, after careful consideration, the Dragon Kings have decided to bring this long-standing Human-Dragon War to a close. The Dragon Race will send a representative to negotiate.

And this representative, without a doubt, is the hero of the Dragon race during the spatial rift crisis, the Silver Dragon Prince who bravely fought Constantine in the Far North, and the young strategist who made crucial decisions at the Dragon King Secret Meeting on several occasions—

Leon Casmod.

Please, have you really thought this through?

Where is the depth? Where is the familiarity?

"Mom, why does Daddy look like he wants to cry but can't?"

"Xiao Guang, this expression has a professional name: wanting to cry but having no tears."

"Oh, I understand."

"Okay, go play with your sisters. Daddy Mom have something to talk to."

"Yes, Mom!"

Xiao Guang jumped off Losweiser's lap, wagged her little tail, and ran towards her two older sisters on the practice field.

After Xiao Guang walked away, Losweiser leaned back slightly against the back of the bench, crossed her long legs comfortably, looked straight ahead, and had a faint smile on her lips.

"Odin has the support to send you as the Dragon Race's negotiator, so what do you say? Do you want to go?"

Leon set the "letter of appointment" aside, sighed slightly, and then said,

"Actually, I was quite resistant when I first saw this news."

Losweiser nodded in understanding, "It would be difficult for a human like you to represent the Dragon Race."

"That's right. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I am indeed the most suitable person to negotiate."

"Oh?"

"The human and dragon races have suffered from war for over a century. Now that all conspiracies have been thwarted, a truce would undoubtedly benefit both of our races."

Leon said slowly, "But after fighting for so long, it can't just be stopped. So negotiation is a very important part. If we let other dragon kings represent us, I'm afraid... something might go wrong."

Losweiser's thoughts stirred slightly, and she quickly understood what Leon meant.

"So, in order to ensure that the outcome of the negotiations is beneficial to both parties, your special 'existence' plays a crucial role, right?"

Leon smiled helplessly, then leaned back in his chair, looked up at the clear sky, and said slowly,

"Although I never thought that overthrowing the empire would mean the end of everything, I really didn't expect things to turn out this way."

As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the silver-haired beauty beside him.

"Tell me, is it a rather abstract idea for me, a human, to represent the Dragon Race and then negotiate with other humans?"

Losweiser covered her mouth and chuckled, "It would be quite abstract for others, but for you, I can only call it standard procedure."

Leon gave her shoulder a light tap, then stood up and walked toward his daughters on the practice field.

"Where are you going?" Losweiser asked.

"Negotiations don't stop me from playing Dragon Knight with my darling daughters."

At this point, Leon paused, then corrected him.

"Oh no, if the war really stops, then we won't be able to play Dragon Knight anymore, which is not good for the unity of the two races."

"Leon".

"Um?"

The Queen slowly rose, Leon heard the sound of the fabric of her dress rubbing against her skin.

Her tone suddenly became serious and earnest.

Watching Leon's retreating figure, Losweiser spoke slowly.

"If this war really does end in a few days, then the name 'Leon Casmod' will be written into the history of both humans and dragons."

"Your life may also undergo a dramatic change."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gentle breeze ruffled the Queen's skirt.

After a brief silence, the man in front of her slowly turned his head halfway, revealing a resolute yet gentle profile.

He smiled, his eyes narrowed, and replied softly.

"I prefer the life Losweiser have with you now to becoming history."

Half a month later, at the border between the human and dragon territories, there was a cliff.

On one side of the cliff stood a large group of Lionheart Society members and former Imperial Guards.

Standing at the front of the group were Nacho, Martin, and Rebecca.

They received a truce from the Dragon Race two weeks ago, and agreed to hold negotiations here.

At first, they thought it was some kind of trap or scheme, but Leon's letter followed soon after, saying that they could keep the appointment and that it was a fair and square negotiation without any tricks or schemes.

Only then did everyone feel relieved and head towards the location.

"Negotiations... It seems the news of the change of imperial power is spreading quickly," Rebecca said.

"It's not just a change of regime, but more importantly, the conspiracy between the empire and some of the Dragon Kings has also spread, which is the key to bringing about this truce negotiation."

Nacho squinted at the dark Dragon Race army on the other side of the cliff, which was slowly approaching.

"Of course, your captain was also very likely to have been a great help."

"Wow, so that means the captain didn't just stay home with his wife and kids after the war; he did get some serious business done."

Nacho blinked and scratched the tip of his nose.

"No, no, no, I think that after all this time, his ultimate goal is still to have a wife, children, and a warm bed."

Rebecca suddenly realized, "Oh~~~ I see. Indeed, don't underestimate the Family Heroes."

After a few casual words, Martin suddenly asked,

"Speaking of which, what kind of Dragon King will the Dragon Race send to negotiate with us?"

Rebecca raised her hand to answer.

"Of course, it's the kind of powerful, awesome, and famous hero-level figure in the Dragon Race."

Nacho glanced at the crazy girl, "Have you ever fought against a dragon king like this?"

"No."

Rebecca put away her playful smile and replied seriously, "Because the captain had killed almost all of these dragon kings before."

"..."

"So, if all the Dragon Kings with any status have been killed by the captain, wouldn't the Dragon Race be unable to send out any negotiating representatives?" Martin realized the crux of the problem.

"Huh? What's the point of talking then? Someone, bring out my Fire Element cannon! Today, we'll show those giant lizards what's what!"

Martin quickly pressed down on Rebecca's wrist, "No, no, no, it can't be that bad."

Rebecca giggled and bumped Martin's chest. "Just kidding, look how scared you are."

Nacho, watching the approaching Dragon Race army, slowly let out a sigh of relief.

"So... without a pillar of support, who exactly will they send—"

"Damn it, why you?!"

"Captain, actually, your sister-in-law used some strange magic to turn you into a member of the Dragon Race a long time ago, right?"

"You know me, Captain. Although I've always admired you, why is it that a human like you can represent the Dragon Race to negotiate?"

Leon:...

"Listen to me, don't rush, I'm more anxious than you are."

31. To, Shadow

Leon briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.

However, Nacho and the other two still found it somewhat difficult to accept after hearing the story.

"Captain, are you saying that your status among Dragon Race and among humans... is roughly the same?"

Leon scratched his forehead. "It's not that they're the same, but... they're not that different."

"And then they actually sent you to negotiate."

"Because they don't know I'm a human being."

"It's a miracle that you could keep this secret for so long."

"It's not a miracle, it's all thanks to my amazing intelligence and ability to disguise myself."
