As soon as the minister finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.
The Trade Alliance couldn't mediate, their last hope was gone.
Rune, seated on the throne, turned pale.
Was Gray Iron City about to fall under his rule?
He'd only been in power for a few months.
"How can this be? They don't accept our compensation?" Rune hastily asked.
There was no response from below.
At this point, the situation was very clear.
The Trade Alliance must have figured out which side the Undead were on.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have said the opposing side was not accepting compensation.
The Undead clearly had the advantage, why would they easily end the war!
Seeing no one speaking below, Rune suppressed his anxiety and continued, "Is there any other solution? Every day countless soldiers die in this war, who can tell me how to end it?"
Still, there was silence.
The ministers, who used to be active and vied to show their wisdom in front of Rune, all fell silent in an instant.
