968 The Effective way
"...We came to talk."
After hearing those words, Elizabeth immediately caught a glimpse of a female demi-cat coming out from behind a small tree, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed. That female was almost as powerful as her!
One of Elizabeth's followers from the Trent family spat next to him, "The general has released several of your followers, and each one of them carries a message that we intend no harm and want to talk, what, Just now the message has arrived? Or is it because the arrays are about to be completed?"
"If you don't want to communicate, that's fine." The female took a step back and her foot began to disappear.
"Wait!" Elizabeth raised her hand and shouted, "There's a misunderstanding. Come, we can talk more inside."
*Shi* *Shi* The female flicked her ears twice then looked back at Elizabeth, "No, we have been betrayed twice by the Great Serpent Empire in similar situations. If you want to see the Queen, you must come to her alone, this is the only way to communicate." "Impossible!" One of the officers unleashed his aura at level 43, "We are the ones who have to go to whoever your bullshit Queen now? She can go to hell!"
"General Elizabeth, soon the Sky Shield Dome will be complete and we will have a safe haven, from which we can start a large-scale operation against them, in a year or two at most we will completely cleanse that land."
*Shi* *Shi* The female twitched her ears again a few times and rested her hand on the trunk, preparing to run.
"Why would we exterminate them? They are just defending their lands." But Elizabeth shook her head, "I will come with you, lead the way."
"General!!" More than ten emperors around her shouted in unison.
"Don't worry, the negotiations will definitely succeed, I will work on it!" The smile that seemed to carry the light of the entire world appeared on Elizabeth's face again, silencing all the opponents, then they saw her land next to the female before the two disappeared into the horizon.

*Swoosh* *Swoosh*
"So… What's your name?" Elizabeth smiled as she flew forward.
"Kerry." The female replied with a frown, still glancing back every now and then to watch how Elizabeth in her big golden armor was moving, being able to maintain a constant distance the entire time was something that was confusing to her, especially since the air density on the planet was low as if they were running on a mountain thousands of meters high!
"Oh, Kerry… So Kerry, you said before that you were betrayed twice, what did the evil ones of the Great Serpent Empire do to you?" Elizabeth continued with a smile, trying to ignite Kiri's hatred towards the Great Serpent Empire even more to help her in the negotiations.
"…Those traitors!" Kerry clenched her furry hands, "Two thousand years ago, after a great war between us, they said they were ready to negotiate, that despicable Marshal Xanox said he wanted to meet my grandmother alone, but she left and never came back, he... he cut off her head and put it on a spear... that filthy butcher fixed that spear to the bow of his ship and took it across the planet!"
Hate already started to flare up in Kerry's heart a little, "My grandmother's murder caused our biggest pillar to be broken and many internal divisions occurred over the right to rule and how should we deal with the invasion, we fell into a period of weakness for 400 years during which Marshal Xanox was able to tighten his grip on more than half the planet."
"Oh, what an evil bastard!" Elizabeth's facial expression was sincere this time, she couldn't think of anything more despicable when it came to wars. "The second time was during the Great Dark Valley war, Xanox kept us busy there because he knew how important the valley was to us and used warships to attack our empty cities. That day, he annihilated our families and children and pushed a large number of us to commit suicide out of helplessness, which ended up killing a large part of our army as well, so we fell into another period of even weakness much worse than the first." "....." Elizabeth furrowed her brow even more, this was absolutely terrible, but they did the same to Jura, those snakes knew nothing about war morales, "There's no need to worry about them anymore, we're here now, we'll help you get rid of this disease!"
"Hehe, help us get rid of this disease, just for you afflict us with another?" Kiri smiled and looked back for a moment before taking a new turn and advancing, "Anyway, thanks, we have adapted to the ugliness of Xanox, we have even learned a little from him and no longer even care about face-to-face combat or building big cities, the current battlefield is the entire planet, and even your army that you sent west to fight the demi-snakes, we have killed more than two thousand of them so far."
"…Why would you do something like this? I have wanted to talk to you since we arrived, we want to live in peace!" Elizabeth's heart ached when she heard of her soldiers being killed
"Hehe, peace? There is no peace between different races." Kiri took a new turn, "We saw once what happened when two different races met, why would we bet again?"
*Bam* Elizabeth used one of the trees to stop herself at her high speed, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "If there is no room for discussion, then what are we doing here?"
*Shee* Kerry slid a little until she stopped and looked around for a few seconds before gently shrugging her shoulders and licking her palms, "I wanted to get away more, but this place is good too."
"What are you talking about? Am only here to--" *SLAAASH* "Pfft... Ughhhhhh...!!"
Suddenly Elizabeth felt a terrible pain in her torso, after which she could not feel her lower half and her legs could no longer carry her, she looked down slowly only to see an arm preceded by a thick palm with five claws.
Those five claws slowly opened and with them Elizabeth's eyes opened wide, there were two bones on the palm of that palm, two vertebrae of her spine, and she heard a voice whispering in her ear, "Is something missing from you? Hehe."
*Step* *Step*
Kerry walked towards her from the front with a graceful gait, placing one foot in front of the other, her eyes shining with a heart-stealing glow, "Although it was malicious and dirty, Marshal Xanox's method was beneficial and turned a losing war into a success for his side, does it matter if we hate him for it? We are already at war." Then she added with a cruel smile, "He cut his losses and achieved victory after victory, what more could one ask for? Honor? reputation? How much can one sell that for? Standard army wars are a joke, only by cutting off the head will the body fall, and only by striking the back will the feet drop... Mrs. Head, are you ready to fall? Hehehehe~"
