"Auten, even if I agree, can you guarantee that you will be able to exterminate the demons successfully and capture the White Tiger King alive?" Empress Heidi asked Prince Auten gently.
Prince Auten was taken aback and did not know what to say.
"Tens of thousands of years ago, the Ancient Ancestor commanded the Imperial Sky Palace soldiers against the fiend race in a deadly fight. That fight lasted a long period and cost an incomparably high price to capture the fiend race in the sealing grounds. Even in the end, it was difficult to destroy them.
"But now, the strength of the Godly Region is far from what it used to be. You promised to exterminate the demon race. Are you stronger than the Ancient Ancestor?"
"I—"
Prince Auten's face reddened, and he was speechless.
Prince Auten had been in a fit of anger. He finally realized that he was too impulsive and reckless when he calmed down.
Everyone knew that the demon race had rebuilt their strength by taking advantage of the struggle between the Godly Region and the fiend race. Their power was significantly greater than before. The Godly Region could not take advantage of the situation in such circumstances.
"Mother Empress!"
The next second, Prince Auten bowed his head in shame and muttered, "I have disappointed you. I know I've made a mistake."
"Forget it. Now that things have come to this, we can only find a way to make up for it. We can't simply use our troops against the demons unless we have no other choice."
Prince Auten nodded and asked, "Mother, what should we do next?"
All of the officials' attention was suddenly drawn to Empress Heidi. They had yet to install a new emperor, so Empress Heidi would have to deal with all of Imperial Sky Palace's affairs. The decisions she made will directly impact the future of the Imperial Sky Palace.
Empress Heidi looked at Prince Auten, thought for a while, and said, "Even though you haven't made a deal with the White Tiger King, he let you come back here safely. It means that he doesn't want to start a war with us yet.
"In the current situation, we can only send one more envoy to ask the White Tiger King to withdraw from the Floating Islands."
Empress Heidi looked around at the officials.
Prince Auten already had a conflict with the White Tiger King, so she could not let him go. She needed to find a courageous and intelligent person to be their next envoy.
