Yun Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally waited for the elf to ask this question.

"Actually, there are some difficulties at the beginning, but just as you don't want to be involved in a long war with humans, humans don't want to be involved in a long war with elves either."

"You mean they're bluffing?"

“I didn’t say anything, but if I were human, I obviously wouldn’t want to be enemies with such an opponent…” Yun Zhe glanced at the white tiger beneath the knight’s legs.

A smile appeared on the elf's face. "That's a good idea, but it's not up to you."

Yun Zhe straightened his chest. "On the contrary, I am indeed the one in charge."

The elf's smile froze; she hadn't expected the Aruru man to answer like that. Shouldn't he be flustered, confused, and nervous...?

She believed this was the best possible outcome the little girl's side could conceive, and that the Aruru man had merely happened to know it. However, someone who happens to know so much shouldn't be in such a dangerous place. And the person who came here shouldn't know so much either. This clearly contradicted her understanding.

But the White Tiger Knight quickly felt relieved, for she saw the corpses of her brethren in the distance.

“But you have killed so many of my people, I cannot let you go.” The White Tiger Knight raised her longbow again. The white tiger she sat on shook its head, revealing a ferocious expression.

“Letting us go will save more lives for both of us. If the war continues, it won’t just be these twelve elves… it might even include you and me.” Yun Zhe planted his sword in the ground, supporting it with both hands, and said, word by word.
