Returning to the headquarters of the Tripping Organization, Yang Bai came to the strategy room where the map of the Arad continent was placed.

Looking at the map in front of me, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

During the battle between the Dark Elves and the Duchy of Belmar, the Duchy of Belmar garrisoned the Miranda Plains southeast of Huttonmar.

The Dark Elves, on the other hand, stationed their forces in the western part of Mount Afaria.

With the southern valley as the boundary, if either side crosses the border, a war will start.

So far, other non-principality-affiliated forces, including the Adventurers' Alliance, have remained on the sidelines.

And the dark elves, although they have not yet come up with an attitude of not dying, are bound to want to make the Duchy of Belmar pay the price.

However, on the side of the Duchy of Belmar, although Queen Skady advocated a policy of softness, it was important to figure out the reasons for the war before thinking about anything else.

However, the other two councillors who wanted to seize power frequently commanded their troops and took the initiative to attack the Dark Elf Kingdom.

On the Dark Elf side, according to the intelligence of the principality and the letters sent by Krent, Yang Bai learned that all these wars were promoted by an elder with great voice in the Dark Elf Kingdom.

The Elder's name was Sharplon, and he was very stubborn and tough, and whatever he decided, he would do his best to promote and carry it out, which was why he enjoyed such high prestige in the Senate.

Since the Dark Elves are born to use magic, they have an innate sense of superiority over humans who can't do magic.

He is very superstitious about Alice's divination, and is convinced of Alice's statement that "the plague is related to humans", and he has been using this to pressure the dark elf queen Maya to push forward the war with humans.

But according to the plot in the original book, although the Senate is quite powerful in the kingdom of the dark elves, due to the relationship between the monarch and the minister, Sharplun and the others did not dare to go too far against Queen Maya's will, so the war did not really break out.

Yang Bai can basically be sure that there must be Herder as the driving force in this, otherwise the war will never really start.

After clarifying the way of thinking, this matter is not as difficult as it feels, and the problem can be summarized first.

First, the provocation of the two parliamentarians of the Principality of Belmar was one of the triggers of this war.

Second, Sharplon's stubbornness to start a war is also one of the important points of this war.

Third, the misunderstanding has not been resolved so far, and the two sides do not have any grudges in essence.

It's a pity that if we had stopped this earlier, it might not have been too difficult. But now that the war has begun, the seeds of hatred have been planted with a large number of casualties on both sides.

This can be seen in Huttonmar.

As long as the people here mention the word "dark elf", they can't help but show disgust and resentment on their faces, and they are even more excited in their words.

Because among the thousands of soldiers who died in battle, there were inevitably relatives, friends, or other related people.

As you can imagine, the hatred will be even more radical for the long-lived Dark Elves.

Because in their eyes, human beings are the source of the plague and the villains who take away their loved ones.

Coupled with the casualties of that war, Yang Bai could predict that almost no dark elves had a good impression of humans anymore.

It is not an easy task to end this war.

Yang Bai was a little hesitant, was it really necessary for him to intervene?

Whatever Herder's purpose was, Yang Bai wanted to stop her. Even for his own sake, because if the war continues to spread, it will be difficult for him to stay out of it.

The most important thing is that he cannot bear to be used as a pawn by those careerists and those in power...... Abandon.

"Have a cup of tea." When she came to Yang Bai's side, Lisa's hand was a tray, and she handed the teacup on the tray to Yang Bai as she spoke.

Picking up the cup and taking a small sip, Yang Bai frowned slightly, the black tea made by Lisa is always so sweet.

"I know you don't like sweet tea." Lisa said with a sudden smile.

Yang Bai was slightly stunned, not knowing what she was going to say.

"But I think life is already very hard, at least the tea must be sweeter." Lisa said seriously.

The corners of his mouth rose, and Yang Bai laughed out loud, and he heard the hidden meaning of Lisa's words.

"yes, this sweet tea shouldn't be the only one I can drink." Looking at the teacup in his hand, Yang Bai was silent for a moment before placing it on the table.

"Lisa, help me gather men, and we'll end this war!"

……

Under the Dark Elf Palace, the previous identities of the people who can be imprisoned here must not be simple.

In the dark, damp cell, Krent hangs his hands in chains. Just because he sent a letter to Yang Bai, he suffered from the desire of the patriarchal group.

What he knew was that the letter wasn't the point, but that his recent actions had made some people unbearable.

"I just want the truth! I just don't want this senseless war to continue! ”

Krent roared in his heart more than once, but it all seemed meaningless.

Queen Maya has been placed under house arrest by the Senate, and now the real power of the Dark Elf Kingdom is in the hands of Elder Sharprun.

But in Crent's memory, although Elder Sharpen was belligerent and tough, he would never do anything like persecuting his own people, or even putting the queen under house arrest.

Behind this, there must be a great conspiracy.

Krent wanted to uncover this horrific plot, but it was really impossible for him to be in deep trouble.

"Now, I can only hope for that man."

A wry smile appeared on his face, although he felt that this was a little unrealistic, but the only thing Krent could trust now was the man.

Just as he had confronted the apostolic apparition, if it had been that man, he might have been able to work a miracle.

……

Palace of the Duke of Belmar.

"Really...... Brother, he died in battle. Kneeling on one knee in front of Queen Skady, Isha looked a little lonely.

She and Yang Bai returned to Huttonmar together, but they were separated halfway because of things in the kingdom.

When she arrived at the palace, she learned the sad news that her second brother had been killed in the previous battle.

"Why go to war?" With her head down, Isha couldn't figure out the overly difficult question.

Eventually, she came up with an idea.

"Auntie, I want to go to the Plains of Miranda and take the place of my second brother's commander!"

If you can't find the answer, then go and verify it for yourself, that's Issa's decision.

She didn't want to avenge her second brother, her thoughts actually coincided with Yang Bai, and she wanted to stop this battle from continuing.

Looking at the stubborn niece below, Queen Skady sighed deeply. Although she knew it was irrational, she finally agreed with Isa's idea.

After all, the path of a young person should be chosen by herself.
