Global Lord: Start with Divine Favor-Chapter 674 - 67 Giving the Human Envoy a Stern Warning_2

Lin Rui shook his head with a smile and said, "No, an Epic Holy Grail Knight would be the most effective."

Violet had already disengaged the Dark Angel Template at this time and asked, "Lord, do you intend to use the tireless trait of the Holy Grail Knight to intimidate them?"

"Exactly!" Lin Rui nodded. "What humans rely on is nothing more than their formidable combat power and massive scale. But without staking their foundation, in a conventional war, humans have already proven it's difficult to gain an advantage against us on the battlefield. They might even suffer a crushing defeat if they're not careful."

"When the human envoy comes to negotiate, they'll definitely emphasize their massive scale, saying that crushing us is as easy as an elephant crushing an ant. Let's show them the trait of the Holy Grail Knight. In the face of tireless knights, no matter how large their armies are, it will be meaningless. They will be cut down by us sooner or later."

Violet nodded and said, "The most fundamental source of human arrogance is their belief that their numbers and strength provide an insurmountable advantage over us. They think they can use their numbers to wear us down or tire us out. If they see we have the tireless trait, completely unconcerned with their scale, they'll find it difficult to gain any benefit by sheer force. I believe their arrogant attitude will definitely change."

"Do you need me to activate the Dark Angel Template with the Holy Grail Knight?"

Lin Rui waved his hand with a smile and said, "I don't think that's necessary. The current Holy Grail Knight is already strong enough. We don't need to stun them into disbelief with an even stronger display."

Then Lin Rui looked at Audrey and said, "Let your troops open the defensive line and bring them over."

Audrey smiled with delight, "Let my troops bring them over? I'll go personally! I'll make sure to warmly welcome them."

Seeing Audrey eagerly leading a large group of Legendary-level and Epic-level soldiers to the front line, Lin Rui could only offer silent condolences to the human envoys for three seconds. Who knows what that mischievous girl will do to them?

The total distance was merely fifty miles, theoretically taking only a few minutes to reach Lin Rui if riding.

However, due to Audrey's deliberate teasing, it took the human envoys a full half-hour to finally arrive, and every one of them arrived in utter disarray and embarrassment!

Lin Rui glanced at Audrey in astonishment, wondering what tricks this madcap had pulled?

But Audrey didn't understand the doubt in Lin Rui's eyes, contentedly patting her chest with a look that said, "Don't worry when I'm handling things."

Perhaps trusting her was the real mistake!

Upon seeing Lin Rui, the human envoy roared angrily, "Colonizers from afar! This is no way to treat an honorable envoy. Do you wish to provoke an unending war between us?"

Although Lin Rui didn't know what Audrey had done, it did not prevent him from responding assertively, "Provoke war? I think it was your Human Empire that first launched the attack against us! I was clearly defending against demons, and then you attacked us from behind."

The human envoy asserted righteously, "That's because you are invaders; driving you away is justified."

Lin Rui sneered, retorting coldly, "Justice? Don't make it sound so grand. Plane Wars are wars contracted between two planes, battles agreed upon by all to become stronger. It's just that we from the Azure Realm are on offense, and you're on defense. If our roles were reversed, wouldn't you attack the Azure Realm? Speaking of war, let's face it directly; don't talk about justice! Throughout the history of warfare, how many wars were truly just? Is it justice for demons to expand their suitable territories to nurture more demons?"

The human envoy's face flushed with anger, and he shouted immediately, "How can such matters be considered just? It's a brutal plunder!"

"Then, is it just when elves expand the forest area to nurture more forest creatures?"

"Or when you humans cut down forests to plant more crops and nurture more knights, is that considered just?"

"Of course! This is for the glory of expansion."

"Then for demons and elves, it's also glory through expansion," Lin Rui rebuffed mercilessly. "Your Human Empire can gloriously expand on the Colonization Star, and so can our Human Empire in the Azure Realm. Justice is just a high-sounding excuse one side provides for itself. When discussing war, please focus on the matter and don't veer off-topic."

The human envoy took a glance at the Holy Grail Knights standing solemnly nearby, full of killing intent, wisely refraining from further dispute, and simply said, "You are quite eloquent. However, you make valid points; we didn't come here to debate. Let me introduce myself; I am the Minister of the Inner Court of the Empire, Nancy."

Lin Rui acknowledged with a nod, "Lin Rui: Golden Pansy."

This was something unnecessary to hide; with two Colonization Marks on his body and the Eye of Light, almost everyone on the Colonization Star had heard of him.

The upper echelons of the Human Empire were likely even more familiar with him!

Nancy was one of those people who wished nothing more than to dismember the culprit who had thrown the Red River Plain into chaos into pieces.

Before coming, he had resolved to show off his might and humiliate Lin Rui, treating the negotiation as a charity for this leech!

But upon seeing the Legendary Female Hero of the Undead who came to greet him, he was shocked. Humans do have Legendary Heroes.

But due to the internal factional splits of the Empire and the ambitions of the Seven Holy Countries, humanity's forces were not united like the forest.

In the forest, all forces are loyal to the Elf Empress, and no one dares defy the Empress's will.

However, within the Human Empire, the Seven Holy Countries do not completely submit to the Emperor. When facing major external invasions, for the continuation of humanity as a whole, the Seven Holy Countries barely comply with the Emperor's commands.

Yet when attacking hostile forces, even the Emperor must convene a council to hear the opinions of the nobility.

This was why the Human Empire didn't immediately react to Lin Rui's advance.

Under such disunity, human Legendary Heroes were scattered across various forces.

Each of the Seven Holy Countries had two to three Legendary Heroes, totaling over twenty Legendary Heroes combined.

Within the Human Empire's forces, there were only a little over a dozen Legendary Heroes.

And seeing that a single domain like the Golden Pansy had so many Legendary Heroes, Nancy was naturally extremely shocked.

Even more shocking was that under one Legendary Hero, there were six Legendary-level Super-Tier Soldiers!

If each Legendary Hero were similarly equipped, the Legendary Units here could rival most forces within the Empire.

And when Nancy saw the row of dozens of Epic Holy Grail Knights ahead, he was completely subdued!

Before coming here, he had never thought that outside the Divine Kingdom, there could be a force capable of deploying Epic Super-Tier Units as ordinary soldiers!

Just how many soldier lives it would take to wipe out these densely packed Epic soldiers, he dared not calculate.

Because he feared the final number would be too daunting to face.

So after both parties introduced themselves, Nancy wasted no words, diving straight to the point, "Our Emperor appreciates your performance in this battle. Praises you as the Azure Eagle. Your bravery has earned our respect, and so we wish to negotiate a ceasefire and peace with you."

Lin Rui was slightly surprised; they actually came to negotiate peace?

Then Lin Rui's expression changed slightly, fixing his gaze on Nancy and asking, "Has the main force of the Demon Army arrived?"

Lin Rui was quite certain that relying on the power of the Golden Pansy Domain could only discomfort the humans slightly at most.

If it were only the front line of the Golden Pansy Domain, humans would never negotiate peace with him, Lin Rui.

The grand armies would push forward, and all demands could be ultimately realized through force.

But this place wasn't a tranquil plain; this is the Battlefield of the Three Races!

The unusual behavior of the humans could mean only one thing, a greater upheaval had occurred.
