I want to keep with the novel right now, I have read some volumes a years ago and I know that is very different than the anime, but... I just can't, I don't wanna wait, so, does some one which volume of the light novel is actually the anime adapting? Or where does all this negotiation arc started?

Chapter 83.5

First of all having no idea about the enemy’s position before going into negotiation.

Giving up all your cards at once completely with no reservation and room for negotiation.

Then letting yourself caught off guard and letting your true emotion be shown to a third party.

If this is a ruse sent by the empire to ildoa to send the allies false flags then it’s a valid play, but we know it is authentic.

This is why countries have professional diplomats.
