Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Cai Ran wanted to fight back, but Daklens was already radiating light, as if he would kill Cai Ran with a single word. Seeing this, Cai Ran had no choice but to pick up the half of the map and leave. After returning to the camp, he immediately sent someone to the capital to deliver a message.

Inside the main tent, Lati ordered his men to clean up, and picked up the half of the topographical map left on the ground. He looked at it from left to right, and finally said helplessly to Daklens, "Your Majesty, couldn't you have cut a little off course? According to what you just said, the land ceded by the Demon Kingdom is only a little bigger than what we occupied. There's no fundamental change."

"Huh? Is that so? Hahaha, looks like you drank too much last night... Hahaha..." Darkrens was embarrassed upon hearing this, but then argued, "Didn't you tell me to chop it? I'm not a sharpshooter, how could I chop so accurately!"

"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you anymore." Lati turned to Chu Angjie and the others and said, "Things have come to this point, the purpose of the show of force has been achieved, let's just sit and wait for that demon king to come to our door."

Upon hearing that the Demon King himself was to come, Chu Angjie had a sudden inspiration: "Since the Demon King is to come in person to negotiate peace, why don't we ambush him in the tent, capture him, and force the entire Demon Kingdom to surrender?"

“General Chu, if we resort to such unscrupulous means, how are we any different from the demons? Besides, all the Demon Kings have been known for their great strength. How can we be sure that we are his match?” Lati immediately rejected Chu Angjie’s suggestion. Chu Angjie also realized that his anger had clouded his judgment and quickly abandoned this unrealistic idea.

Meanwhile, in the Damonlit Palace, Vera soon received a letter from Cai Ran, informing her that the Allied Forces wanted her to go in person to negotiate peace. She was furious. Even though Cai Ran did not write about his ordeal in the letter, Vera could guess that Cai Ran must have suffered humiliation just from the fact that she had to negotiate peace in person. In addition, the half of the topographical map that was sent with the letter was obviously cut by a sharp blade.

But anger solves nothing. Harold and Raichin both hope to grow and become true demon kings. Their attitude also shows that unless the Eight Gates City is truly breached, they will no longer offer advice. At this moment, Vera can only rely on herself. After much thought, she finally made up her mind to go and negotiate peace herself, even though it was an extremely humiliating thing. But in order to protect the demon kingdom, she had to endure such humiliation.

However, just in case, Vera still needed to be prepared. She went alone to a side hall of the palace, knocked on the door, and slipped inside as soon as the door opened.

Early the next morning, Verra, along with his guards, a group of about thirty or forty people, rode fast horses straight to Baguan City. They arrived in the afternoon and, without stopping, transferred to a luxurious carriage and headed straight for the allied army camp outside the city.

Among the patrolling allied soldiers, some with sharp eyes spotted the luxurious carriage from a great distance and immediately returned to the camp to report. Not long after, Lati, having received the news, led Chu Angjie, Lu Kun, and Baird to the camp gate to check. Only when the luxurious carriage came into view did they order the gate to be opened. They all knew that the king of the Demon Kingdom was sitting in that carriage.

Even though Darkrens had previously given the Demon Kingdom a hard time, Darkrens was still the emperor of the Beast Kingdom, while they were merely ministers. They should still show proper etiquette and go out to greet the king of a nation, since they considered themselves different from the barbarians like the demons.

After waiting for a while, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the camp gate. Behind the carriage were about thirty or forty guards who had come on horseback. After the carriage came to a stop, six people dressed in black and red robes with their faces covered dismounted, came to the carriage, opened the carriage door, and respectfully invited Verra to get out of the carriage.

Lati and the others were also very curious about what this Demon King looked like. After all, the Demon Kingdom had been sealed off since the first war between humans and demons, and news of the Demon Kingdom was rarely heard. However, when they saw Verra stepping out of the car, they were all quite surprised. They did not expect that the current Demon King was a woman! The woman had a beautiful face and a delicate figure, but she possessed an unapproachable aura. Apart from the iconic double horns on her head, her other physical features were basically no different from those of a human.

Lati quickly suppressed his surprise, stepped forward, and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, you have come from afar and must be tired from your journey. I am Lati, the regent of the Beast Kingdom. Please come with us to the central military tent to meet the Beast Kingdom Emperor and discuss the matter of a ceasefire."

Verra nodded and stepped forward, with the six guards following closely behind her, while the other guards remained in place.

When the group arrived at the front of the main tent, Verra went in first. When the six guards tried to follow, they were stopped by the guards: "Wait outside the tent!"

Verra's voice came from inside the tent: "Regent King Lati, these are all my personal guards. Please let them in." Lati thought for a moment and decided that these six men were just guards. It wouldn't hurt to let them in, since there were also guards from the Allied Forces inside the tent. So he nodded to the guards, and Verra's six guards were allowed to enter.

Inside the tent, Dakron looked at the pretty young girl in front of him, quite puzzled. He couldn't connect the person in front of him with the evil term "Demon King." He was curious and wanted to ask a lot of questions, but just as he was about to speak, he saw Lati frantically winking at him. Helpless, he could only revert to his arrogant and domineering demeanor, casually pointing and saying, "Sit down."

"Thank you, Emperor of the Beast Kingdom."

After taking her seat, Verra didn't waste any time. She immediately had her guards bring out the half of the topographical map and spread it on the table that had been prepared beforehand. She got straight to the point and said, "I have come here today at the Emperor's invitation to negotiate peace. I will not beat around the bush. Could the Emperor's demands for cession be made a little more lenient?"

Seeing that Verra was about to reduce the amount of land to be ceded, Lati greeted him with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, the territorial demands made by my king are not excessive. The Heavenly Fortune Empire and our country have suffered countless casualties from the unprovoked invasion of the Demon Kingdom. The Slivia Empire and the Kingdom of Delin have provided assistance with their entire nations. Does Your Majesty think that these territorial demands are excessive?"

"I strongly opposed this war, but the Council insisted on launching it, leaving me with no choice. However, the Demon Kingdom has suffered countless casualties in the war. Moreover, the Demon Kingdom's land is barren, and after nearly a hundred years of recuperation, the population has increased. The original territory is no longer sufficient for the people to live and work in peace. If such a large area of ​​land is ceded, the Demon Kingdom will not be able to survive. I beg the Regent to understand," Verra said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"So, this war has nothing to do with His Majesty the Demon King?" Chu Angjie questioned. "The Demon Kingdom needs to survive, but don't our nations also need to survive?!"

Verra glanced at Chu Angjie, ignored him, and said directly to Daklens, "Emperor of the Beast Kingdom, you and I are both rulers of our own countries. I believe you can understand my predicament."

Lati stood in front of Darkrens, preventing him from speaking directly to Verra, and said, "Since Your Majesty insists, then I will be frank. The land demanded by my king is almost the same as the land of the Demon Kingdom actually occupied by the Allied Forces. This is the minimum we can accept. If Your Majesty cannot accept it, then please leave!"

Verra opened her mouth as if to say something, but Chu Angjie couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and shouted, "Why waste words with her? Let's take her down now and force the Demon Kingdom to surrender!" As he spoke, he drew his sword, ready to attack.

Faced with Chu Angjie's threat, Verla and her six guards remained unmoved, seemingly not taking Chu Angjie seriously. This aroused Daklens's curiosity. He stared at Verla and her six guards, then suddenly stood up and drew his sword. Instantly, an unparalleled elemental reaction shot into the sky.

This terrified Lati, who was worried that his brother might do something radical. Just as he was about to stop him, he saw Dakrons make a move, and the six guards behind Vera immediately shielded her in the middle. Six strong elemental reactions also erupted, and the scene became tense.
