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

Huangfu Yan hurried as fast as he could and finally arrived at the capital of the Principality of Paisen before the meeting began, entering the council hall that the principality had specially prepared. He straightened his clothes, brushed off non-existent dust, and strode into the council hall.

Upon entering the council chamber, Huangfu Yan looked around and saw that the other participants from various countries were already in place, sitting in their respective chairs and looking at him. This joint meeting was a gathering of big names. In addition to the emperors and kings of the four regular countries, Archbishop Gibo, the manager of the Saint Temple of the Church of Saints, was also present, as was King Pact of the Principality of Paisen.

Upon seeing Huangfu Yan enter, the Beast King Darkrens was the first to mock him:

"Oh my, welcome Emperor Huangfu! As expected of the head of the Kingdom of Delin, Your Majesty, you have quite the grand presence. You are so unhurried for such an important meeting, unlike me, a rough fellow, who arrived three days in advance."

The other emperors and kings, though outwardly calm, were inwardly overjoyed. They were naturally happy to see the head of state suffer a crushing defeat, and they were happy to see anyone being mocked, as long as it wasn't them.

Hearing the sarcastic remarks, Huangfu Yan could only feel angry inside. He replied calmly, "Emperor Daklens is certainly very proactive. Arriving so early must mean he is very confident in taking over the island."

Huangfu Yan's words drew suspicious glances from the other emperors towards Dakrons. However, Dakrons, being guileless, said nonchalantly, "That's for sure. In terms of martial prowess, who can compare to me, Dakrons! Hahahaha!"

Huangfu Yan stopped speaking, frowned, and sat down. Seeing that everyone had arrived, the white-robed Archbishop Jibo spoke up: "Since the main participants have all arrived, let's begin this joint meeting. According to the procedure, the first item is for the representatives of each country to express their opinions. Let's start with the country that has taken over the island, Tianyun Empire. Emperor Chu, please."

Ji Bo gestured to Chu Jingwu, then signaled for Chu Jingwu to speak. Chu Jingwu stood up, looked around, and began to speak according to his prepared remarks:

"First of all, I want to express that the Tianyun Empire is deeply dissatisfied with the resolutions of the last joint conference. However, it is not that we do not respect the joint conference, but that after the conference, certain countries have taken a series of actions against us, which have seriously damaged our national interests and dignity."

Chu Jingwu spoke with righteous indignation: "First, the Slivia Empire robbed our Empire's cargo ships from the island to our country. Then, the Delin Kingdom's garrison on the island openly murdered Yin Tianbao, the city lord of Bailu City during his term. This is clearly contempt for our Tianyun Empire. Such despicable acts must be met with an explanation. Therefore, I propose that the Delin Kingdom's qualification to take over the island be revoked this term. At the same time, I demand that the Slivia Empire compensate us with double the value of the cargo ships and materials, and that a new election be held for the island's takeover country."

After finishing his sentence, Chu Jingwu sat back down in his chair and then added with great sorrow, "If it were you, you would surely understand my heart-wrenching grief and indignation at this moment."

Other national leaders curled their lip in disdain upon hearing this. Following up on Chu Jingwu's words, Gibo looked at Emperor Eric of Slivia and asked, "Emperor Eric, what are your thoughts?"

Seeing that it was his turn to speak, Eric stood up and said, "I cannot agree with the Chu Emperor's assertion that our soldiers robbed the Tianyun Empire's cargo ships. This matter was absolutely not done by Slivia. Not to mention the long distance, our army's whereabouts would be easily discovered. Moreover, how would we transport the stolen goods back? Since it was not our doing, I absolutely cannot agree to the Tianyun Empire's demand for compensation. This is utter nonsense."

"However," Eric added another point of view: "I still strongly agree with the proposal to cancel the Kingdom of Delin's qualification to take over the island this time. Since the last joint meeting had already decided that the Kingdom of Delin would take over the island, yet they killed the current Lord of Bailu City, and the handover date has not yet been decided, this move is rather like speeding up the takeover and also violates the original intention of the joint meeting. Their qualification to take over this time should be canceled."

After listening to the second half of Eric's speech, Huangfu Yan clenched his fists, his anger ignited, wishing he could kill Chu Jingwu and Eric on the spot: "These two old dogs must have been planning this for a long time!"

Jibo then looked at Huangfu Yan, preparing to let him speak, but the Beast King Darkrens couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly, "I agree with Eric's opinion. As for the robbery of the cargo ship, I think it was all done by the Kingdom of Delin. They also killed Yin Tianbao. The cargo ship was closest to the Kingdom of Delin, and it was the most convenient to transport it away. Otherwise, why can't we find out where the cargo ship went? It was transported back to their country by them. I think the compensation should be directly attributed to the Kingdom of Delin."

"Don't make false accusations!" Ji Bo was about to speak when Huangfu Yan couldn't help but speak first: "My Kingdom of Delin is about to take over the island. There are plenty of supplies on the island, so why intercept them halfway! That Yin Tianbao is a sixth-level elementalist, and there are also troops from the Tianyun Empire stationed on the island. I don't believe that my island's garrison could kill Yin Tianbao under the noses of the troops from the three countries and the city lord's guards. Without clear evidence, don't even think about shifting the blame onto our country!"

"Furthermore, whether or not you are qualified to take over the outlying islands in this session is not something you can decide with a single sentence. If you can treat the resolutions of the joint meeting as a joke, then what is the point of this joint meeting!"

Seeing that Huangfu Yan was getting more and more carried away, Ji Bo quickly stopped him, saying, "Emperor Huangfu, please watch your words! This is the joint conference hall!"

After being interrupted by Jibo, Huangfu Yan clearly realized his lapse in decorum. He bowed slightly to Jibo, then sat back down and remained silent. The council hall fell silent for a moment, with the emperors all remaining quiet. Seeing this, King Pact of the Principality of Paisen stepped in to ease the atmosphere, saying, "I think it would be better to take a break for now. I have ordered some special fruits to be prepared. Why don't you emperors move over and have a taste?"

“Very well, let’s try the special fruits of this derivative duchy and see what’s different.” Seeing that Pact had stepped in to smooth things over, Gibo agreed, and the four emperors all got up to taste them.

During the tasting, secretaries from the four countries entered the council hall one after another, whispering to their emperors. It turned out that news of the war on the outlying islands had arrived. A bishop in blue robes from the Church of Saints also came in and informed Gibo of the intelligence they had just obtained. All the emperors were surprised. It was just a minor skirmish before, how could war have started without their permission?

Only the Beast King Darkrens laughed heartily, pointing at the other emperors and saying, "Hahaha, you bunch of treacherous villains, only good at backstabbing! Fortunately, my orc warriors are exceptionally strong and are not afraid of your schemes. Since the war has already begun, I see no need to continue this ridiculous meeting. Let's just go all out!" With that, he turned to leave the council hall. Seeing this, Gibo gave him a wink, and the blue-robed bishop quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Beast King, wait a moment. Why don't you sit down and analyze the situation further, and discuss a solution?"

"What's the point of analysis? The war has already begun, what's there to analyze!" Darkrens wouldn't listen and insisted on leaving. Gibo could no longer tolerate it. The Church of Saints looked down on orcs and other non-pure races. Gibo roared, "Insolence! The Joint Conference is not a place you can come and go as you please!"

Dakrons didn't care at all and said contemptuously, "Who dares to stop me from leaving! What, want to have a match with me?"

"Guards!" At Gibo's command, two men dressed in silver-white standard armor and carrying swords emerged from a room in the corner of the council hall. Pact turned his head and initially thought they were ordinary high-ranking knights from the Holy Knights Hall. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed that the two knights had unique six-winged patterns branded on their shoulder armor and exclaimed in a low voice, "God Knights!"
