"Let's wait for a while." Max said when he saw Lily and others looking at him, asking if they should also go in.

Lily and others nodded.

After that, he walked over to Kriss and asked in a low voice, "Where are your family's king mages?"

Kriss' gaze flickered, and he hesitated before saying, "I… sent them a message after our confrontation with the Seidel and Arasia family just now, but they… did not respond."

Max nodded, his expression not changing. Kriss glanced at him before saying, "Sir Max, even if they don't help you, I will make sure they don't act against you. This is my promise."

Max smiled at him and lightly nodded before walking over to Martha.

"Can we talk for a moment, Princess?"

Although Max's tone was as casual as it was the first time he met them, Armand and others didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they moved back, leaving the space for them to talk.

"I would be happy to, Sir Max." Martha nodded before asking, "May I know what you want to talk about?"

Max could see she already knew what he was going to say, so he didn't hesitate and directly said, "You royal family wants to be my friend, right?"

Martha silently nodded, and Max continued, "Then how about you do me a favor and ask your king mages to help us when Seidel and Arisia king mages act against us? I will be sure to consider this when I meet King Azaroth and discuss whether we can be friends or not."

While Armand and a few others from the Williams, Martell, and Fuller family gave him odd looks because they found the fact that a Four Star mage was speaking these words strange, no one thought he was overestimating himself. After all, he had already proved his worth. No sane family wouldn't like to be his friend.

Martha stared at him in silence for a few moments before saying, "Even though I'm a princess and King Azaroth's sister, I can't order the Grand Elders to do anything. So, let me ask my brother. Please wait for a while."

Max nodded and returned to Emily and the others' side. Emily and Lily grabbed each of his hands while Sera stood behind him and wrapped her hands around his neck and placed her head on his shoulder.

Max took a deep breath, inhaling their scent. He then smiled, "Don't worry. Everything will be alright."

"Mm." The trio assented.

A few minutes later, Martha came over, attracting everyone's attention, and smiled, "My brother agreed to help you, and he said he has already captured the one responsible for attacking your family. When you return to the capital, he will hand him over to you to punish."

"Please convey my thanks to him." Max said before sending her a message through his bloodline sense.

Martha glanced at three women around him, her eyes flashing with an unreadable glint as she nodded. Seeing this, Max relaxed and hugged Emily and Lily's waists, burying his face in Lily's neck.

Martha, after giving him a look, returned to her group and started waiting for the crowd to thin out.

A while before the demons retreated from the battlefield and the War Temple was established…

Over a hundred miles away from Ninam city, three demons stood in the sky, looking in the city's direction. Two of them were covered in triangular scales and had vertical pupils… they were from the Green Serpent Race. The other one, standing between them with his hands folded behind his back, was from the Horned Demon or Devil Horned Race. ṞАNɵʙЁṩ

Both the horned demon race and the scarlet demon race had some smaller tribes under them who were assigned to assist them in conquering the Green Leaf Kingdom. Among them, green serpent demons were under the horned demon tribe while the dwarf demons were under the scarlet demons' command, helping them scout and pillage the kingdom.

After several horned and green serpent demons died in the hands of elves, the demons sent these three to destroy the city. They had already found out that there was just one king mage in the city. So, they had sent three king mages and several Five and Four Star demons who were already camping around the city. Of the three, the two green serpents were early-stage demon kings, while the horned demon was a mid-stage demon king.

The trio stood there, unmoving, observing the city from afar.

Boom!

Then suddenly, the horned demon raised his brows and took out his communication crystal. When he heard the message, his already dark face darkened even more, his aura turning violent.

The serpent demons were pushed back, but they didn't even flinch, keeping a respectful look on their faces.

After a while, the horned demon stowed away the communication crystal and said, his voice grim, "We weren't able to stop them from setting that damned temple this time either."

The serpent demons looked at each other in surprise before asking, "Why did we fail, Sir Salthor?"

Salthor took a deep breath and said, "The human alliance sent more and stronger emperor mages than expected."

After a pause, he gnashed his teeth as he continued, "Not only that, both my tribe and the scarlet demons also lost a demon emperor each in the battle."

The serpent demons made strange gestures with their hands as they bowed deeply, "May the lord emperors rest in peace and those who killed them die a gruesome death."

Salthor's black eyes flashed with a purple glow, and his horn also lit up as he growled, "I want every elf in that city to die. No one should survive. If anyone does, I'll have your heads."

The pair looked at him in shock, not understanding why he was so angry. Then suddenly, their eyes widened as they thought of something.

'Could it be that… one of the emperors who died was his lord Valthor's father?'

The more they thought this and saw his rage, the more they found their guess to be true. Immediately, their expression turned solemn, and their eyes turned chilly as they looked at the Ninam city.

"No one will survive, my lord!"
