A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 603 The Day of Demise

In the reception room, the two druids were somewhat uneasy.

"Larken, do you think we can successfully persuade them this time?"

"I doubt it. I don't know what the elder is thinking. Why bother with these people? Just let them fight. If they continue like this, they'll be punished by the great natural consciousness sooner or later."

The male druid known as Larken spoke, and it was clear from his words that he was somewhat dissatisfied with this mission.

The other female druid sighed.

"But those radical lunatics already want to start a war, and if that happens..."

She didn't elaborate, but Rajen still understood what she meant.

"I know. Don't say anything later. I'll talk to him. No matter what happens, let's part ways amicably."

Laken said that, to be honest, he had no hope whatsoever about the elders' request to persuade Jiang Shuzhou to stop the war with the elves.

They're not stupid; they have their own plans for everything they do. They've probably already made up their minds, so how could they possibly change their minds just because of what the two of them said?

Then came an endless silence.

An awkward silence fell over the reception room.

The surrounding area was luxuriously decorated, with dragon-skin sofas, dragon-skin carpets, and numerous high-end handicrafts, each of which was priceless. But here, these were merely basic decorations.

But because of this, both of them were somewhat uneasy.

The reason is simple: in the eyes of the druids, this is not a luxurious reception room, but a morgue made up of countless tree corpses.

In particular, many of the trees here are cut down to make furniture as soon as they mature.

Fortunately, this was just what they were thinking, and they didn't dare tell anyone. Otherwise, Jiang Shuzhou would have shown them what a real living room of flesh and blood was like.

After all, how could Jiang Shuzhou, as the leader of the Blood and Flesh Path, not even be able to set up a Blood and Flesh Meeting Room?

The reason for using wood is solely to prevent it from disgusting other people.

Although he himself felt it was fine, since it wasn't the sticky kind, it wasn't a big deal.

"Gentlemen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Finally, Jiang Shuzhou's arrival broke the tranquility.

"Um... cough cough, let me introduce myself. My name is Larken, and I'm a newly promoted legendary druid. Her name is Lulan, just like mine."

Jiang Shuzhou nodded and looked the two of them over.

As Jiang Shuzhou had imagined, both of them were dressed in pace gear. Although they weren't quite at the level of cavemen, their clothes were still quite ordinary.

There isn't even any legendary equipment yet.

At first glance, they were clearly two penniless bastards.

"Speak, what is it?"

Jiang Shuzhou asked without any politeness.

Judging from Jiang Shuzhou's attitude, Larken knew that this negotiation was definitely not going to succeed.

However, he had no choice. The elder was their guide, and he had a mission to complete, so he had to tell the truth no matter what.

What if? What if it works?

"It is like this: your war with the elves has caused the destruction of countless planes, and many planes have been ravaged by death. Some druids hope that you can stop the war."

After Larken finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it wasn't enough, and then added something else.

"Of course, we will also ensure that the elves also cease hostilities, so that you will not suffer losses."

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Even the well-informed Jiang Shuzhou was somewhat stunned.

No, it's none of your business if I'm fighting a war. Why are you meddling in my affairs?

So what if there's widespread death and destruction? No one has said anything, and you're already making a fuss about it?

Moreover, even a ceasefire would not be fair to Jiang Shuzhou.

After all, he is now in a superior position and can take the initiative in the battle. At the same time, Jiang Shuzhou still has many objectives that have not been achieved. How could the war possibly end?

"If you have a problem with your brain, I suggest you see a doctor, or you could find another mage to concoct a brain-boosting potion. I'm busy fighting right now, so I don't have time."

After saying that, Jiang Shuzhou prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, give me some face."

These words were not spoken by Laken or Lulan, but rather a projection.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, whose eyes revealed a world-weary wisdom.

You can tell at a glance that this is a top-tier veteran, definitely not young.

"What's going on? Why are druids getting involved in other people's internal affairs?"

The old druid in the projection simply sighed and then said...

"Do you know what you've done?"

"So what if a little forest was burned?"

Jiang Shuzhou seemed quite indifferent.

After all, war is war; where can you find peace and tranquility without harming the environment?

"Yes, this matter was originally nothing, but now, the radical druids have been incited, and with my mediation, if you are willing to reach a ceasefire, the radicals will not be your enemies."

Upon hearing this, Larken instantly felt the surrounding air grow many times colder.

"Oh? Those pieces of trash dare to be my enemies? You really overestimate them."

Jiang Shuzhou said coldly.

"A ceasefire is impossible, but considering your kindness in informing me of this, I can give you and those druids a chance."

"Don't get involved in this war, get out of here right now, or I'll take them all down with me!"

Jiang Shuzhou said.

For him, the only ones who can challenge him now are the mages with floating cities and the gods with powerful divine abilities.

Even ordinary floating cities are not quite qualified.

Just like Finrod's floating city, Jiang Shuzhou could wipe it out in two sets.

Now, a bunch of worthless trash who are constantly being chased around dare to bark at Jiang Shuzhou?

"Sigh, never mind. Since you have your own ideas, I won't interfere any further."

The old druid sighed, then said nothing, and the projection dissipated on its own.

"You may leave now."

Jiang Shuzhou waved his hand and teleported the two away.

"As expected, they're starting to resort to desperate measures."

Jiang Shuzhou muttered to himself.

Jiang Shuzhou would never have believed this if Thranduil, the Elven King, hadn't been involved.

"It seems we should strike first."

Jiang Shuzhou sneered.

He's not the kind of person who'll just sit back and take a beating.

Since the radical druids dared to breathe on Jiang Shuzhou, Jiang Shuzhou naturally wouldn't let them get away with it.

I'll kill them all in a bit; Jiang Shuzhou has nothing better to do anyway.

The Elven race's internal defenses have now contracted, making it difficult to break through them.

But Druids are different.

This is the one that needs to be addressed first.

Although Jiang Shuzhou consistently expressed disdain for Druids, the radical faction of Druids has many legendary figures, so one shouldn't be too arrogant.

Therefore, Jiang Shuzhou decided to launch a surprise attack on them now, before they could react.

As for the reasons?

Just say you suspect the other party wants to attack you; it's pointless anyway, so just say it casually.
