The Wind Forest, in the Starry Cave.

Helena stood on the platform, and looked at Sally and the remaining six 10th-tier powerhouses below.

“I will be going to the peace meeting personally to fight for more benefits and interests for the elves.” Helena looked at them, and prestigiously said, “For the last three years, us elves’ power has been deteriorating. I heard many of our young people were misled, so you guys have to pay more attention, and don’t let the others take advantage of my absence to create trouble when I am gone.”

“Yes,” all of them replied, avoiding Helena’s gaze.

“In the meantime, Sally will manage the forest on my behalf. Report to her if you have to. She will make the decisions,” Helena continued, looking at Sally below.

Sally, too, looked at her and nodded slightly.

All the elven powerhouses had different expressions, but they all nodded and acknowledged it.

Helena had been entrusting Sally with important tasks lately, and grooming her in every aspect. She already deemed her her successor.

And Sally indeed didn’t disappoint her. She became more mature and adept at handling matters. Her power had also exceeded the 8th-tier. She had become the leader in the elves’ younger generation after Irina.

“Leave us. Sally, stay back,” Helena said calmly.

All the elves left quickly, and only Sally and Helena were left in the vast Starry Cave.

Helena took a step forward, and landed gently in front of Sally. With her back to Sally, she calmly said, “Do you know why I am handing the elven race to you?”

Sally looked at her back, and similarly calmly said, “There are not many people you can choose in the elven race now.”

“You are getting more and more like her.” Helena turned around to look into Sally’s eyes, as if she wanted to see into her heart.

Sally didn’t evade her gaze, and continued calmly, “Isn’t this what you are hoping for?”

Helena laughed. In a self-mocking tone, she said, “Yes, I have to admit that Irina is the best genius that our elven race has ever had in the past 1000 years.”

“Then, why do you have to kill her?”

“It’s not always good to be a genius. She attempted to overthrow the elven race that we built with our blood. She has touched our bottom line, and yet she remained incorrigible. Killing her is a choice I have to make to protect our elven race.” Helena looked rather regretful.

Sally bit her lips, trying to make her tone and terms milder. “Perhaps our people who have left the Wind Forest have gotten the life that they always wanted to have.”

“Ha, impossible.” There was a hint of sneer and decisiveness in Helena’s tone. “This is a cruel world. The so-called freedom cannot give them any protection. The wandering elves will become the target of the other races’ bullying. That is definitely not the life that we elves want.”

“But they are being bullied and toyed with by their own people in the Wind Forest. Is this the life they want?” Sally asked in retort.

“We have to pay a certain price to receive protection. Those heroes who have offered more should receive more rewards.” Helena’s gaze became fierce, and she looked at Sally with narrowed eyes. “Are you questioning me?”

“No. I simply want to know, did you and the queen think about how to segregate our people, who fought along with you, after you led the resistance and defeated the invasion by the orcs and demons? You were once the high priestess whom they trusted the most,” Sally said moderately.

“If you continue to have such thinking, then you are really a terrible princess,” Helena said with a frown.

Sally looked at her, and pursed her lips in silence.

Helena turned around, and said in a low voice, “Go back and think properly. What would the elven race have been now without me and the queen?”

Sally remained silent for a moment before she turned to leave.

After a long time, a sigh could be heard in the Starry Cave.

Rodu. The palace’s meeting hall was still brightly lit.

“Chaos City has already joined forces with the dwarves, goblins, giant dragons, and the orcs. Alex, Irina, and that mysterious Lantisde are also involved. I am afraid we cannot get anything out of them even if we go to Chaos City now,” Andre said to his trusted courtiers with a stern expression.

All the courtiers looked grave too. They thought they could sweep through the Norland Continent without any resistance from the north and the south together with the Roth Empire’s current powerful power after joining forces with the forest trolls.

However, Bruno was dead now, and their link with the forest trolls was completely broken.

Furthermore, the news they received today even said that the King of the Dwarves and the Goblin Chief had arrived in Chaos City in advance, and already taken part in a secret meeting.

Although the Roth Empire was powerful, it wasn’t that powerful as to conquer the Norland Continent.

The alliance of the few weaker races was already giving them a headache. Adding on the giant dragons, Alex, and Irina, it made them feel even worse.

Now, they couldn’t help thinking that if Alex hadn’t left the Roth Empire, and had instead become the commander-in-chief, then it would’ve been the other races’ turn to shiver.

“Your Majesty, Alex is human, after all, and was our commander-in-chief of the northwestern army for years. Is it possible to persuade him, and make him come back to our Roth Empire again…?” a courtier said.

“Foolish! Has the Earl forgotten that Alex has harmed the second prince and the first prince repeatedly? How can such an arrogant and bizarre person rejoin the empire? Even if he is willing, we have to be wary of his real intentions. This is tantamount to bringing a wolf into our house.”

The courtiers started to argue about whether they should invite Alex back to the empire.

Josh sat at the side in silence.

“Alright,” Andre interrupted their argument with a frown. These courtiers kept arguing about useless stuff. He turned to look at Josh. “Josh, what’s your opinion?”

Josh got up, and respectfully said, “Royal Father, I think since the other races already decided to join forces against the empire, the peace meeting is no longer important. Why don’t we act first and attack them? With the advantage of our powerhouses and cavalry, we can conquer a certain area quickly.”

“What?!”

All the courtiers looked at Josh with shock. The second prince was always gentle, and preferred magic. They didn’t expect him to come up with such an aggressive plan.

Andre unfurrowed his brows after hearing that. He nodded, and smilingly said, “That’s an interesting suggestion.”

“Your Majesty, we have to be careful about this.” A courtier got up, and worriedly said, “The peace meeting hasn’t begun, and the peace treaty isn’t over yet. If we attack now, we will be at fault. The other races will attack us..”
