"Your Majesty, this devil incident happened very suddenly. In addition, there was also the sudden appearance of two strong forces, the Moon Nation and Lantisde. Things have changed drastically. How should we make our stand at the peace talks?" one courtier raised his concern.
The other courtiers were also worried.
Initially, with the Roth Empire's might, everyone thought that they would be able to raise the issue of redrawing territorial lines. The best-case scenario would be to let the other races willingly give up some land to the Roth Empire without a war.
However, with the appearance of the devil, the peace talks suddenly did not seem so important.
On top of that, the appearance of Lantisde and the Moon Nation, with several 10th-tier powerhouses, was also a factor in the redrawing of borders.
"Let's not talk about the peace talks. Right now, we have to settle that fellow that suddenly appeared." Andre stood up. "Get them to prepare. If the repair of the seal fails, we will be sending out 20 10th-tier great magic casters and 20 10th-tier knights to aid Chaos City."
"40 10th-tier powerhouses!"
The expressions of the courtiers in the hall changed. This was almost 90% of the Roth Empire's elites, and His Majesty actually wanted to send all of them out.
"It's also time to let them know how strong the Roth Empire is." Andre smiled and left with a group of guards protecting him.
"Your Majesty is wise."
The courtiers were all deep in thought.

"Get all military divisions to get into category 1 battle mode," Andre suddenly told a courtier beside him when he walked out of the hall.
"Yes." That courtier quickly left.
"Devil... What a timely arrival. I do want to see how powerful you are..." Andre scoffed.

"Devil."
In the Starry Cave, Helena looked at the dimly lit stars in the crystal ball with a grave expression. A dark cloud spread across the stars like a black hole, seemingly devouring all the stars.
"High Priestess, Princess Sally was too rash. Not only did she not align herself with the Roth Empire, she even made such a promise on behalf of the elves. Do we need to liaise with Chaos City on the matter of sending out powerhouses..." an elder said.
"Fool, do you think the Roth Empire would really be kind to us?" Helena glanced at the elf coldly, and mocked, "If the Roth Empire could really defeat all of Norland Continent, that old fox Andre would never let the elves survive."
"But..." That elf wanted to speak further.
"We elves are no longer what we used to be. We can't even guarantee that we can win against the goblins, what do we have to use as a chip for negotiation with the Roth Empire? The pathetic bilateral relation?" Helena scoffed.
"Sally made the right decision at an appropriate time. This time, we can only have the chance to survive in this storm by standing on the opposite side of the Roth Empire." Helena retracted her gaze, and looked up at the starry sky with a grave expression as she said, "A huge crisis is already looming over the Wind Forest."

The news of the terrifying devil quickly spread amongst the various races at the fastest speed.
That night, the people of the ruling tier of the Norland Continent were unable to fall asleep.
