I really don't want to be invincible

Chapter 577 Worry about War (Fifth Watch)
Bai Yu returned to the imperial city before dark.

Before entering the East Palace, the palace steward waiting at the door hastily greeted him.

"His Royal Highness, His Majesty has been waiting for you in the study for a long time."

"Father has been waiting for me?" Bai Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, his first reaction was that his father knew what he had done, or he already knew that the seventh brother was still alive.

After thinking about it, I dispelled this idea again.

This happened just now, not to mention that Li Shuo had already killed everyone in the imperial city who knew about it, so it was impossible for the emperor to know about it so quickly.

"lead the way."

Bai Baiyu came to the study with the steward.

Bai Bailing's father, Bai Long, the supreme ruler of the Xinghui Dynasty, was pacing in the study room, his eyes kept looking at a map on the table.

"Father, the baby is late."

"Ah."

During the day, Long Ban's eyes were lowered, and he could only see half of his deep eyes. With his face that didn't like to talk and smile, it was impossible to see any thoughts from his face.

"What's the important thing for the father to find his minister late at night?" Bai Baiyu pretended to be calm.

"It's so late, where have you been?"

"I heard that it's not peaceful recently, so I went for a walk around the city and came back a little late."

"Have you found anything unusual?"

"There is no abnormality in the imperial city, but there is a faint worry among the people."

"What are you worried about?"

"I am worried that the human race and the other three major races may go to war."

During the day, Long pointed to the map on the table.

Said: "It is indeed possible to start a war. It seems that the tension from the front line has been felt by the people."

"Actually, father, you don't have to worry. The peace between the four major races has lasted for 500 years. Although there will be some small frictions on the border every few years, the forces of the four parties are generally in balance. I think Demons, ghosts, orcs don't dare to destroy the current peaceful status quo, it won't do them any good." Bai Baiyu said, heaving a sigh of relief.

"Is 500 years a long time?" Bai Tianlong's voice was like a pool of stagnant water, so calm that it was suffocating.

"Although 500 years is not a long time in the history of the entire Star God Continent, compared to the history of peace between the four major races, 500 years is already the longest period of peace and prosperity so far."

"So how long do you think this status quo can last?"

"This……"

"In recent years, ghosts, demons, orcs have been provoking more and more troubles on our borders. A few months ago, the orcs even launched a small-scale war on our borders. These tentative moves are a kind of Premonition. Half a month ago, the high-level ghosts and demons met, and then a small group of demons and ghosts provoked me on the border, and this matter is even more serious."

"Father means that the other three races have the intention to unite against our human race?"

"Whether the three of them are all united is still unknown, but the ghosts and demons are definitely making attempts in this regard, and the orcs should just be unable to hold back. Generally speaking, after such a long period of peace, all forces have already Ready to move."

"What's your father's plan?"

During the day, Long looked around and said to him, "In the history of the Star God Continent, there have been three world wars in total. The spirit clan disappeared in the first war, the demon clan disappeared in the second war, and the mad clan disappeared in the third war. You Which race do you think would disappear if there was a Fourth World War?"

"This……"

Bai Baiyu was in a dilemma and was considering how to answer this question, but Bai Bailong himself said it first.

"The alliance between the ghost race and the demon race is already a certainty, but there is no doubt that any alliance is for war. Maybe it is to unite to destroy the orc race, or to unite to destroy the human race. There is a difference between the two of us." If they are extinct individually, it proves that their union has achieved miraculous results, and in the Fourth World War, two races will disappear from now on."

After a pause, he glanced at him and continued: "If the third race is united after the ghost race and the demon race are united, then the remaining race will inevitably face the crisis of extinction. I mentioned this plan to me, and no one can guarantee whether they will go to the orcs to discuss the alliance. In order to avoid this worst possibility, there is only one way before us."

"Father means that we must first form an alliance with the orcs before the ghosts and demons launch an all-out attack on the humans or the orcs, or before the two of them unite with the orcs?" Bai Yu asked.

"I need someone to do this."

Bai Tianyu finally knew what his father had been waiting for him all night.

This made him cry in his heart.

If you go out to do this, it means that no one in the imperial city is defending Bai Bailing!

This is the last line of defense.

"You haven't made any achievements after canonization, which is quite detrimental to your succession to the orthodox position in the future. I want to give you this opportunity. If you can successfully negotiate the alliance, the two sides will be evenly matched, and the four races will continue. Maintain peace for hundreds or even thousands of years, and if you retreat, the two sides will go to war. The human race and the orc race have made sufficient preparations to prevent powerful enemies, and you will be credited with not being trapped." Tianlong said.

"Father, my son has no experience in negotiation, and the orcs are perverted and reckless. My son is not worried about danger, but I am afraid that I will miss the important matter of my father." He still chose to give up the credit, although this is indeed an opportunity to make meritorious deeds. .

As far as he is concerned, even if there is a war, it will be a few years or even ten years or decades later. He has plenty of opportunities to make meritorious service, and he is not in a hurry.

But Bai Ling's crisis was imminent.

Once he returns to the imperial city to expose what he has done, he may not be able to secure his position as the crown prince, no amount of credit is of any use! ?
He had to sit in the imperial city and make sure that Ling died during the day before he could do other things with complete peace of mind.

During the day, Long was still pacing in the study and didn't speak for a while.

"Father, I have let you down, but this is a big matter, and I dare not ignore the overall situation for the sake of merit. If the negotiation between my son and me fails, it may make it more difficult for subsequent negotiations. I still hope that my father can make this matter clear." The heavy responsibility is entrusted to those who have rich experience or often deal with the orcs to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"It's considered mature to have such considerations."

During the day, the dragon stopped pacing and sat down on the chair.

"It's getting late, go back and rest."

"Father also rested earlier, and my son will leave first."

Bai Baiyu exited the study, heaving a long sigh of relief.

Every time I was alone with my father, I was always overwhelmed by the invisible aura on his body.

in the study,
During the day, Long continued to look at the map in front of him, shook his head, and the voice and smile of his youngest son appeared in his heart.

If he is here, he will be able to relieve his worries.

But God's will tricks people.
