The First Peace Talks Failed

She didn't want to stay on Sun Island for another second; the entire island was now filled with a rotten smell.

The Fishmen Monster on the island seem to have become breeding machines. Lord Commander Latimore needs the fish-men to increase in number rapidly, so the female fish-men living on Sun Island are all giving birth and preparing for pregnancy.

Groups of fish-man toddlers were running around on the beach.

At this time, they cannot enter the sea alone, as many large fish in the sea like to feed on the young fish-men.

Jiezena swayed her shoulders and swam silently into the sea, her pale golden snake tail leaving a winding trail on the beach.

Wherever she went, the Fishmen Monster all retreated.

The wounds on Lord Commander Latimore's body were caused by an unexpected backlash from magic while he was researching summoning magic. At that time, Lord Commander Latimore wanted to summon a Poison Swamp Frog from the Dark Land, but he didn't know what went wrong with the summoning circle. Instead, a headless knight with an aura of death walked out of the summoning gate.

The headless knight emerged from the summoning gate, stabbed Lord Commander Latimore in the chest with a Breath of Death sword, and then silently slipped into the summoning gate before it closed.

This is how Lord Commander Latimore his wounds. Although he immediately sealed the sword wound in his chest with magic, the death energy from the wound gradually spread throughout his body. He now needs to use the Spring of Life in the Sun Island cave to suppress the death energy in his body.

Jiezena is a follower of Lord Commander Latimore.

Admiring the strong is a common trait among all sirens, and Lord Commander Latimore is indeed one of the strongest among the Siren Commander. Compared to the sirens kings, Lord Commander Latimore was only slightly less lucky.

Enveloped by the seawater, Jiezena felt her body gradually recovering. She swam towards the North Coast, wondering how she could communicate with the Half-Elf in the jungle...

To be honest, she was still a little timid at that moment.

She was even a little worried that once she climbed ashore, a Silver Hammer would fly out of the jungle and knock her unconscious on the beach.

The waves pushed her to the shore.

She emerged from the sea, revealing her stunningly beautiful face...

The beautiful siren who sang on the beach the night before suddenly appeared on the beach, immediately alarming Miss Tiffany.

Miss Tiffany was surprised that she dared to show herself. At this moment, she had no choice but to walk out from the crevice of the rocky beach, lean against a black sea rock, and silently watch the bewitching sea siren.

The Night Blade Leopard crouched on a tall rock pillar, its body lowered, limbs slightly arched, staring intently at the siren as if it were about to pounce at any moment.

The Night Blade Leopard couldn't help but lick its whiskers with its scarlet tongue, and the next moment it revealed its sharp fangs.

Countless Half-Elf perched on the branches of trees in the jungle, causing the dense foliage at the edge of the jungle to tremble incessantly...

Four Griffon Cavalry hovered in the sky, seemingly not planning to fly away anytime soon.

When she was thirty yards away from Miss Tiffany, Jiezena stopped and stared at Miss Tiffany without saying a word.

After receiving a message from the fishmen on the other side of the jungle camp that a siren messenger had been sent over, Roy immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed over.

The fight on the beach the night before last actually took place in the endless darkness.

At that moment, Roy only threw a Holy Light Hammer at the siren opposite him as he ran out of the jungle after seeing Miss Tiffany in danger...

In fact, it was pitch black all around at the time, and Roy couldn't see the face of the siren in front of him clearly. He only knew that the other party was a very powerful Weaver of Magic.

When Roy arrived at the beach, he saw the beautiful Six-Armed Siren in front of him. Her body was more than half a meter taller than the Naga mermaid, and her snake tail was also longer. If her whole body were fully extended, Roy felt that this siren could reach six or seven meters in length.

A beautiful siren stood on the beach, Roy's head level with her chest...

Her lips were crimson, her skin fair, and her eyes, with their vertical green pupils, were absolutely mesmerizing.

Roy felt a pang of regret that such a beautiful and alluring face had been placed on a siren's body.

Her upper body was a six-armed human, and her lower body below the waist was a snake, with a clear outline of her buttocks beneath pale golden scales.

One arm was wrapped in bandages and hung limply in front of his chest, and there was a very obvious narrow tear on the ribs of his half-body armor.

The moment Jiezena saw Roy, her pupils narrowed, her gaze sharp and filled with hatred as she looked at Roy.

Roy naturally knew that she was the siren who sang on the beach the night before, and that the injuries on her body were probably inflicted by him with the Hammer of Judgment.

Unexpectedly, the sirens of Sun Island would send it out.

Roy stood on the beach, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"I am the highest-ranking officer of this elven army. Can you negotiate with me on behalf of all the merfolk of Sun Island Bay?"

Miss Tiffany walked up to Roy, now in the form of an elven woman, dressed in a long, elegant Sharkscale Dress, and translated Roy's words while staring at the beautiful siren.

Suppressing her anger, Jiezena said in Naga Language, "The Lord Commander wishes to determine the location and time for the negotiations."

Roy smiled, glanced at Miss Tiffany, and casually said, "Let's set the meeting place... in that stilted thatched hut on the beach. You can decide the time."

Without a second thought, Jiezena pointed to the stilted thatched hut in the shallow sea not far away and said in Naga Language, "We'll be waiting for you there tomorrow evening..."

After saying that, he turned around and swam back into the sea without looking back.

Miss Tiffany translated every word that Jiezena had said to Roy.

Roy stood on the beach, watching the beautiful siren gradually disappear into the sea, and couldn't help but sigh: Learning a foreign language is really too important. I have a bilingual talent like Miss Tiffany around me, but I've never bothered to study hard...

Before they knew it, it was evening of the next day, and the two sides agreed to meet in a stilt house in the shallow sea area to negotiate.

The fish-men of Sun Island appeared in this sea area long ago, but the sirens have never appeared.

Countless Fishmen Monster Fishmen Monster emerged from the shallow waters, numbering at least tens of thousands, swimming around in the shallows...

The Griffon Cavalry also spotted a group of Toadfish Cavalry in the sea.

As darkness fell, four ugly male sirens slowly approached the agreed-upon stilted round hut. They wore armor forged from Magic Black Iron, with even their snake tails covered in armor plates, obscuring their facial expressions; their faces appeared to be wearing masks.

These four male sirens were incredibly strong; their upper bodies, covered in scales, displayed an explosive physique.

The two sides did not sit down for a conversation. The four male sirens stood in the sea, their bodies over three meters tall, allowing them to look directly at Roy was standing on the platform of the round thatched hut.

Tiffany remained smiling beside Roy, and there were no other Half-Elf in sight...

The male siren standing in the center introduced himself, saying his name was Staven; his voice was dry and cold.

"Since you have proposed peace talks, I would like to hear what your conditions are."

Roy spoke directly without fear, "I need your withdrawal from Sun Island."

Miss Tiffany then translated, and the four male sirens exchanged glances. Staven, the sirens standing in the center, shouted in a hoarse voice:

"That's impossible. Sun Island is our foundation. We can't possibly withdraw from Sun Island. At most, we can give you this stretch of beach on the eastern part of the North Coast this time."

After hearing Miss Tiffany's translation, Roy couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Haha, we already occupy the entire North Coast, do we still need you to give it up?"

The siren were at a loss for words when asked this question.

Roy didn't wait for the sirens' reply before saying:

"You have slaughtered so many of your fellow Half-Elf who live in the northern jungle of Sun Island Bay coast. Now that we have reclaimed the North Coast, we will build a harbor here. Once we have built our ships, we will attack your Sun Island immediately. If you leave Sun Island now, at least I can let you leave unscathed."

Seeing Roy's arrogant demeanor, Staven was so angry that the veins on his forehead throbbed. "If that's how you put it, then there's no point in continuing this discussion."

Roy retorted, "This time I'm here to talk to you and ask you to give up Sun Island. But next time we talk, I might tell you to get out of the entire Sun Island Bay!"

Upon hearing Miss Tiffany's translation, the four male sirens flew into a rage.

However, they restrained their impulses and did not turn against each other on the spot.

After leaving behind the words, "I will await your arrival on Sun Island," the male siren Staven slowly sank into the sea.

Then the sea gradually calmed down, and countless Fishmen Monster and Toadfish Cavalry disappeared from the sea one after another...

The peace talks failed, and Roy and Miss Tiffany walked back to the beach.

"I feel like you don't even have any intention of negotiating..." Miss Tiffany stared at Roy with a puzzled look and said in a low voice.

Roy spread his hands and said with a smile, "If we can drive them out of Sun Island Bay through negotiations, that would be the best outcome. If they refuse to leave, then we'll have to show them with our fists that we're here..."

"Don't you intend to share this bay with these sirens?"

Tiffany tore off her skirt, turning her legs into a beautiful Tri-Color Fish Tail, and then stopped in the waist-deep seawater.

"How can sirens and elves share the same sea? Even if I agree, the conflict might escalate one day, and they might go back on their word. It's better to resolve the issue completely this time." Roy stopped and turned to Miss Tiffany, suddenly asking, "Tiffany, what do you think of Captain Staven?"

"He shouldn't be the leader of these sirens, at least he can't control that one," Miss Tiffany replied. "But he happens to be in charge of these negotiations, which suggests that the sirens aren't very united. I will investigate this carefully."

Roy nodded and said to Miss Tiffany, "Tomorrow I'm going back to the Plateau City Padesto City see how the Three-Masted Sailboat is being renovated. You must be careful while you stay here."

"Okay, don't worry about me..."

The first peace talks with Sun Island thus ended in failure.

The day after the peace talks failed, Roy returned to the Plateau City of Pagisto aboard Kaka's griffin.

The city, built on a mound on the Tollai River, is gradually rising from the ground.

More than 10,000 headhunter prisoners of war have now become the main construction force in the city, building some stone pillars with an elven aesthetic by piling up a large number of Hollow Brick made of slag.

The city was full of unfinished buildings, many of which were wooden frames covering the surfaces of huge buildings.

Those headhunting prisoners of war, perched on these shelves, were like industrious worker ants, tirelessly building this city...

No matter where you are, never doubt the elves' aesthetic sense.

Roy stood in the square in front of the City Hall, at the highest point of the hill, overlooking the entire city.

Standing behind Roy, Mulin watched Roy retreating figure and couldn't help but ask, "Boss, when will you be able to bring the Guard Regiment back to the plateau?"

Mulin said this with a particularly helpless expression.

There are currently over 13,000 headhunter prisoners of war serving as laborers in the Plateau City, but the number of Half-Elf Warrior stationed Plateau City is far less.

"Probably a few more months! Maybe even longer..." Roy said casually.

Mulin stared wide-eyed at Roy, and complained somewhat irritably, "You built such a huge Plateau City, and you actually led the Mine Guard Regiment to fight fishmen in Sun Island Bay? Hey, Boss Roy, in your eyes... don't these headhunters pose the slightest threat to us?"

Roy turned his head and said with a smile, "So we need to divide them into areas, restrict their range of movement, establish a strict reward and punishment system, and create a comfort zone within the Prisoner of War Camp, so that they understand that as long as they work honestly, they will be rewarded, and they will look forward to that reward..."

Upon hearing this, Mulin felt a wave of dizziness and regretted quitting back then.

Roy turned around and looked at Mulin, saying, "I came back this time to talk to you. The Buenos Elven Council of Elders may have sent an investigation team to investigate the cause of death of the Abel Mine Owner. His death can only be attributed to him fleeing on the battlefield and dying accidentally in the chaos of battle."

Mulin instantly calmed down from the brink of rage and said to Roy, "Understood, I will arrange this properly."

Roy then seized the opportunity to ask, "What news is there from Commander Helik's side?"

"Not yet, they're probably still clearing out the remaining forces of the Highland Slavers over there," Mulin replied.

"It's best not to let the investigation team know about Commander Helik's existence, and try not to mention the Griffon Cavalry Regiment," Roy reminded Mulin.

"I know..."

Before leaving the Plateau City, Roy kept reminding Mulin: When building this Plateau City, you must pay attention to details and use your brain. Make sure to repair the drainage ditches before paving the roads. Don't pave and dig, dig and pave. Even goblins don't do things that are so brainless.
