Chapter 1984: Conquer Them

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Very quickly, Connie had settled all the resources in the square, and watched the teams send them off to the various attacked tribes.

“The chief might be young, but she is a very logical thinker, and is very amiable, just like the old chief.”

“Yes. We of the Falk Tribe should count ourselves lucky that we did not fall into the hands of the devil, and even got ourselves such a capable chief.”

“The pro-war group has really suffered heavy losses because of Auster, that coward. I wonder if they will continue following that fellow.”

Some orcs were chatting softly amongst themselves. They were full of praises for Connie.

Connie walked past calmly, but her upturned lips revealed what she was currently feeling.

“Master, did I do a good job? I hear many people praising me discreetly,” Crease asked Rex excitedly after boarding the horse-drawn carriage parked nearby.

Rex nodded expressionlessly. “Mm-hmm. Not bad.”

“Hey~~ There isn’t even a hint of sincerity in that praise.” Connie pouted, but was still very happy.

“We need to go to the Hulk Tribe now,” Rex told Connie.

“Aren’t they Auster’s followers?”

“Their chief wants to join the pro-peace group, but there are differences internally.”

“Are we going to persuade them?” Connie asked.

Rex said calmly, “No. We are going there to solve their conflict.”

“Alright. This is very much like what the hairless powerhouse would do.” Connie gave Rex a thumbs-up.

The horse-drawn carriage moved out of the Falk Tribe, and very quickly disappeared into the night.

“This war happened because of the Roth Empire’s sudden attack and Auster’s foolish deployment. The pro-war group has suffered heavy losses, and people have started losing respect for Auster. There were many tribes thinking of leaving the pro-war group and joining us in the pro-peace group. We must take this opportunity to bring them over to the pro-peace group, which will allow the pro-peace group to represent the voices of more orcs,” Rex said.

“Mm-hm, mm-hm.” Connie nodded. “In that case, what should we do?”

“You’ll conquer them with your principles, and I will conquer them with my brawn,” Rex said seriously.

“Alright.” Connie nodded seriously.

The Wind Forest.

“High Priestess, the Quant Family’s and Basat Family’s leaders would like to see you. They have something to report to you.” An elf entered the Starry Cave, and reported to High Priest Helena, who was sitting on the elevated platform with her back facing the cave entrance.

“Arrest all of them, and hold a public execution in Life Square tomorrow. They can say anything they want to all the elves there,” Helena said coldly.

“Yes.” That elf shuddered, and left the cave quickly.

“High Priestess…”

“High Priestess, spare us…”

Very quickly, there were two voices shouting from outside the cave. The shrills and cries faded away quickly.

“High Priestess. More and more families in the City of Life have announced that they would be burning the slave contract and returning their slaves’ freedom to them. The situation has gone out of control.

“There are also many elves marching in the streets despite the obstructions imposed, saying that they want to abolish slavery completely so that all elves will be equal. Many of these elves are the nobles and highly regarded elves.”

Soon, Elliot rushed into the Starry Cave as he reported urgently to Helena.

Helena, who had her back facing the cave, finally got up and looked down at Elliot.

Elliot quickly said, “High Priestess, we should quickly deploy guards to arrest all of them. If things got even bigger, it would be difficult to clean up the mess. The foundation of the entire Wind Forest would be challenged. These people are so foolish.”

“If everyone had been so clear-headed like you, the Wind Forest and the City of Life would probably have ended up with the Roth Empire,” Helena mocked.

Elliot’s face changed immediately. He felt his legs go jelly, and he dropped to his knees, shivering as he said, “High Priestess. I am absolutely loyal to the elves. I only suggested that because I was worried that the elves would be wiped out. I am really thinking for the elves wholeheartedly.”

“I think you’re just afraid to die. If your land had been in the north, the first thing you would’ve done would probably have been to run away just like those fools, or invite the Roth Empire’s cavalry into the forest, right?” Helena smiled mockingly.

“H-how is that possible? I would’ve done my best to protect the forest, and would’ve never taken a step back.” Elliot’s forehead was filled with perspiration, and he lowered his head, afraid to look at Helena.

Helena watched the kneeling Elliot for a very long time.

Elliot’s head hung lower and lower until it was buried in the ground. His body was shaking.

“Heh.”

A scoff filled the cave.

“From today onwards, you will be stripped of all your duties and status. Return to your castle and lead your lonely life.” Helena looked at Elliot and scoffed. “This is the lightest punishment I’m giving you on account of Sally. You should be glad you gave birth to a good daughter.”

“Y-yes, High Priestess.” Elliot felt as though all the energy in his body was sucked out. He clambered up, and staggered out of the Starry Cave.

“Here.” Helena’s voice rang from inside the cave.

Very quickly, an elf entered the cave.

“Disseminate my orders. Do not hinder the marching elves. I want to see if their choice this time is right,” Helena said calmly.

“Yes.” The elf left quickly.

“Helena actually did not deploy troops to arrest the marching elves. What does she have up her sleeves again this time?” Snarr stood at the window on the second floor of a two-story building. He watched as more elves joined the march, and observed the sparse dots that were the guards around the march as he frowned.

The Roth Empire’s invasion had impacted the Wind Forest greatly.

The elves found out that the landlords, who had led a life of luxury, chose to flee or surrender the moment they faced the invaders, and it was the oppressed lower-tier elves who stood out bravely to protect the City of Life and the Wind Forest in the end, just like how they had a century ago.

The elves had a very long lifespan, so many of the elves who had taken part in the racial war were still living in the City of Life. When their memories of the war were awakened, and they saw that the brothers and friends who used to fight side by side with them were actually reduced to lowly slaves, they were so ashamed they could no longer enjoy everything they had in silence.

Therefore, there were noble elves burning slave contracts, and marching for peace and freedom.

This was a good thing to the Night Elves as well.

However, what Snarr found strange was that there was no action taken by the elven troops.. Helena, who always thought that freedom was a curse, actually silently allowed all this to happen publicly in the City of Life?
