The preliminary meeting before the peace talks was attended by the various races, just like how the actual one would be. This made Chaos City the center of attention for all races in the Norland Continent.
The continent appeared like the calm surface of the sea, but deep underneath, the different races were like the raging current as they secretly sharpened their weapons to get ready for the war should the peace talks fail.
Even the dwarves, who had friendly relations with all other races, had already started limiting the number of merchants moving in and out of Issen Castle, and were prepared to lock up the route into the castle at any time.
As the representatives for each race arrived at Chaos City, the city lord's castle's guest reception department also started to get busy. Luckily, the city lord's castle was already very adept in the preparation work for the meeting, so they were not flustered.
