In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

"Perhaps the Rayna you're talking about is indeed a good person, but you should have seen the truth."

Tracy took a deep breath, his eyes a little cold.

If it weren't for Theresa's idea, he would even want to go back and lead the team back to fight Lateran!

The Demon King is the face of Sarkaz, and Theresa is his sister!

He should protect the other party and eliminate any injustice and hostility towards him!

In fact, the fact that he didn't have an attack now was already a result of his great restraint.

"So, you want us to go back now?"

Theresa spoke, her state was calm, and she had no fear of being infected with Originium disease.

She had long anticipated that this operation in Rutland would not be easy.

We are also prepared for this.

Although the current result still exceeded her expectations, she was not angry, but became more determined in her thinking.

We must seize this opportunity!

"Perhaps at this point, simply signing a peace agreement and ending the meeting is the best and safest option, but... ending it this way is far from enough."

Theresa folded her hands and looked at everyone from the side.

Although still a little green, Theresa at this time did gradually acquire some of the majesty that a demon king should have.

After she spoke, everyone turned their heads and looked at her.

"What I want is not just a verbal peace. What I want is a real future where the Laterans and Sarkaz can freely travel to each other's countries without being discriminated against..."

"What I want... is for the Sarkaz to achieve true peace..."

Theresa remained silent, then raised her head again.

"This can be advanced in many ways, not just this one time."

At the side, Lamaren spoke, her words also filled with some worry.

But Theresa shook her head firmly.

"No... There are indeed many ways to gradually improve the situation of the Sarkaz, but... they are all different from this time."

"You should have also received intelligence. The one who is hosting us this time, Rayna, is a strong candidate for the next Pope of Lateran..."

"Based on the intelligence we've received so far, there's only one other competitor left besides her."

Theresa said as she picked up another glass of cold water.

After taking a sip, he opened his eyes and continued speaking.

Although Maria described her as an idealist, she was not really someone so extreme as to ignore objective facts.

Before she came, she had people start investigating the situation inside Lateran.

So she was also aware of the somewhat complicated battle for the succession to the Pope in Lateran.

"Under normal circumstances, both of them have their advantages."

"However, due to our performance in the battle against the coalition forces, many Laterans began to worry about whether we would continue the war in the future. This led to the more radical Vlad gradually gaining the upper hand."

"This is something we have to face."

Theresa said as she slowly stood up and walked to the window.

Lamaren, who was standing nearby, followed closely to prevent any sneak attackers.

"If we continue with the normal trend and maintain Kazdel's previous attitude of not communicating with any country, then Vlad will rise to power, become Pope, and establish a hostile relationship with us... This is how the Sarkaz and Lateran have been going for thousands of years."

“But this is not what I want.”

Theresa said this with a serious look.

She looked at Rayna's current residence, which was a thousand meters away.

Because of the distance, she couldn't see who was over there, but she could notice that there was indeed someone there.

After thinking for a while, Theresa smiled and waved, then continued to look at her staff.

"That's why... this time is completely different from any future peace conferences we might hold with other countries. It's a peace conference that must succeed!"

"The Sarkaz need to change, and so does our relationship with the world."

Theresa said, glancing at Tracy beside her.

Tracy was not very knowledgeable about this, he just frowned slightly after listening for a while.

"You wish to interfere in Lateran politics?"

This is a risky move.

"Not at all."

Theresa felt a little helpless looking at her brother's somewhat rigid and stiff manner.

She shook her head and continued speaking.

"I wanted to use our identities to promote her performance..."

"Ok?"

"Ultimately, the biggest reason Vlad has the upper hand is because the Lateran people fear us... And since he came to power, he's implemented a tough policy towards us, so we must fight back..."

"Then, regardless of whether our counterattack was justified or not, they will have an excuse to repeatedly emphasize that Vlad was right."

"The result of this is that a hundred years later, Vlad's successor will be another Vlad... and it will continue like this."

"That's why I say this is the one time we must strive for success..."

"If we fail, peace between us and Lateran will be a distant prospect. Furthermore, Lateran's unique position above Terra will inevitably affect the progress of our peace conference with other countries."

"Conversely, if we can reach a peace agreement with Lateran, led by Miss Raynia, Vlad will then have the upper hand, and the ground for his horrific narratives about us will be gone... He might find many ways to reframe this peace conference, slandering it as a premeditated partition, in order to rebuild his power."

"But as long as we establish peaceful rules in the future, Raynay's prestige will also be enhanced. Then, with her at the helm, Lateran will become an important window for us to change the world's view of the Sarkaz!"

If the meeting fails, the consequences will be serious; if the meeting succeeds, there will be many benefits.

This is a choice with no middle ground.

Either Rayna comes to power or Vlad comes to power.

Theresa thought about it and took a deep breath.

The relationship between the Laterans and the Sarkaz is too delicate. If either side has a radical leader, the impact will last for at least several generations.

What Theresa wants to do is to interrupt this cycle.

Because she knew that she was actually a special case among the Sakaz... She had no royal court background and no team of her own. She became the Demon King by chance, with the assistance of her brother Tracys and the help of some friends.

Even the most serious crisis Kazdel faced was resolved by a hero who appeared out of nowhere.

Everything is a new beginning!

At least among the dozen or so generations of demon kings, few have had a start like hers.

She doesn't need to be tied down by too many things.

These events have earned her unparalleled prestige in Kazdel, and will also make the next few years an unprecedented opportunity for Kazdel in a thousand years.

She needed to use this time to make the people of Kazdel gradually accept peace.

This is a two-way cycle.

Kazdel needs to show goodwill to the outside world so that other countries will have the opportunity to contact Kazdel and respond to their goodwill.

And only when the outside world is no longer completely hostile to Kazdel, will there be fewer people within Kazdel who are hostile to the world, and only then will it be better to nurture a leader with a peaceful mindset...

The negotiation with Latlan will be the first step for Kazdel to change, and it is also the most important and the step that cannot fail!

After hearing these words, the people around had different expressions.

On the side, Tracy wanted to say something.

But Theresa became unusually tough.

She waved her hand to stop her brother from speaking.

"We...must continue..."

Theresa whispered, her tone leaving no room for doubt.

……

A few days later, Theresa and Raynay suddenly issued a joint statement.

After several investigations, they realized that many people had certain opinions and concerns about the peace between Lateran and Kazdel.

To dispel this concern, the Sakota Defense Force will work together with their Sarkaz companions to deeply participate in everyone's lives...

This proposal was very sudden...so sudden that even the Lateran people were a little confused.

But soon, a piece of gossip spread quickly among the crowd.

Someone attacked the Sarkaz Demon King.

This is quite interesting.

To be honest, most of the Laterans don't have such a deep feeling towards the Demon King of the Sarkaz... But they know that the Demon King's status among the Sarkaz is almost equivalent to that of His Holiness the Pope on their side.

The Demon King was attacked on his side?

Anyone who is not a fool can realize what this means.

If the Sarkaz wanted to pursue the matter, this would be a natural excuse for war.

Even other countries could not say anything about the Sarkaz's actions. After all, judging from the current situation, Theresa even took the initiative to express goodwill, and it was Lateran that did not do well.

By then, Lateran will not only have to face threats on the battlefield, but also deal with the suspicions of the Terran nations.

The Laterans have an extremely good reputation throughout Terra, and it's not just because of a few things they've done.

This is something they have insisted on since the emergence of Lateran.

Once this thing has a crack, it will be a disaster that cannot be repaired!

For a moment, even those who didn't care much about the peace meeting between Kazdel and Lateran began to wonder who would attack the Demon King.

But unfortunately, such news is just a rumor after all. So far, neither Theresa nor Rayna has responded directly to this. They just sent their own people to form a joint team.

Theresa sent out Maria's old acquaintance, the big green cat woman.

Maria was a little surprised by the people sent by Rayna.

It was the woman who had previously secretly met with the Sarkaz man, named Felia Lapper.

Of course, such a team is just for the outside world to see.

If we really want to solve today’s problems, we need to start from deep inside.

"Although we all know who did it, we don't have a good reason."

Rayna rubbed her brows and looked at Maria in front of her.

"Vlad is no fool after all... He knows how dangerous and troublesome what he's about to do is. He hasn't taken direct action in the past few operations. Even if he captures him later, it's unlikely he'll be able to completely eradicate him."

"If this continues, we can only passively defend ourselves in a desperate situation."

Rayna rubbed her brows, with a helpless look on her face.

Although Vlad was a bastard, he was no fool… everything he had done so far was to send people to his place.

Even if we take action, it will be difficult to catch him.

This is why Raynay only spread the news through the grapevine instead of directly passing it on as evidence to the Inquisition.

Because she knew that the other party must have already prepared a means of escape.

The loach-like method made it impossible for Raynay to start, and she felt depressed for a while.

Meanwhile, Maria was just silently wiping the blade in her hand.

"Solve a problem..."

"actually……"

"Only one method is needed..."
