nCurrent location: Ancient City of War — Military Parade Plaza.

nThe appearance of the elven queen in the Ancient City of War for the first time had surprised the residents of the city.

nEveryone knew that Her Majesty, the Elven Queen had always lived in the Ancient City of Life.

nThe last time Her Majesty, the Queen came to the Ancient City of War was probably a hundred years ago?

nWith such questions in mind, the civilians gathered in the Parade Plaza as they tried to figure out what had happened.

nAngelina Sabrina, on the other hand, kept her eyes closed and did not say a word. Everyone could see what she was waiting for. After an unknown period of time, a group of orderly footsteps appeared on Victory Avenue.

nThe residents in Parade Plaza turned their heads and looked at the source of the footsteps. These people made everyone freeze on the spot.

nThey saw a mighty troop of soldiers that marched towards them from Victory Avenue.

nAn army?!

nAs the people saw the army enter the Parade Plaza, many questions appeared in the hearts of all the residents simultaneously.

nWhy did Her Majesty the Queen summon the army here?

nCould it be to eliminate the ferocious beasts that had been quietly attacking the civilians outside the Ancient City of War?

nMany people came up with personal ideas in their minds.

nHowever, gradually, the number of people who had this idea sank lower and lower.

nIn front of them, there were too many soldiers that entered Parade Plaza! And it kept increasing!

nThe residents wanted to see how many more soldiers were going to enter Parade Plaza.

nHowever, in order to make room for these soldiers, the residents had already retreated. Many of them could only stand on pavements of the roads connected to Parade Plaza.

nIt was obviously difficult to see the situation from Victory Avenue clearly.

nAs time passed, more and more soldiers entered Parade Plaza. The residents slowly realized that something was wrong.

nThis was because these soldiers were... too many!

nThis did not seem like an army gathered to kill a few beasts. It seemed more like... a war!

nMany of them guessed and thought of the news that conspired with the Elf Princess' death.

nWhen the sun rose to the highest point, the soldiers finally stopped advancing. Thus, Parade Plaza had been filled with soldiers, and the residents had completely retreated to the main roads.

nSome people even directly returned to their homes and stood on the second floor or the roof to observe the situation in Parade Plaza.

nEveryone waited for the elven queen's next words. Finally, the elven queen opened her eyes and looked at the neat army in front of her.

n

"Today, there might be people who have known what shall happen, or there might be people who aren't too clear about it.

n

"I, Angelina Sabrina, hereby announce, in the name of the Queen.

n

"We, the elves, officially declare…

n

"Declare war on the humans!

"

nThe moment the elven queen's voice boomed over the area, all the soldiers raised their weapons high and roared in unison.

nThe roar was so loud that it almost shook the entire Ancient City of War. The civilians who heard the news turned pale with fright.

nThe elven race was actually going to go to war with the humans?! This was not a small matter!

nAnyone would know that the humans were not a weak race. In terms of population and strength, the humans were not inferior to the elves.

nWhy did the elven queen make such a decision?!

nEvery citizen was very puzzled, but no one dared to question the queen's decision.

nWhether it was war or politics, the civilians had no choice. They could only listen to the decisions of the big shots and lose out because of a decision from them.

nAfter a moment, Angelina Sabrina raised her hands. The soldiers' roars immediately stopped from the gesture.

nSome of them were not real soldiers, but were pulled in at the last minute. They had no right to object to the decisions of their country. They could only choose to obey.

nHow much fighting spirit and war spirit should one have?

nThe answer was — not enough.

nAngelina Sabrina was very clear on this point. She revealed a serious and dark expression as she looked at all the soldiers present,

"I know that some of you are resistant to war.

n

"I will not tell you that 'obeying orders is the duty of a soldier. These words are meaningless to some of you.

n

"However, I want to tell you something today.

n

"The humans intend to completely wipe us out!

"

nWhen the residents heard this, they turned pale with fright. Similarly, even the soldiers that heard it trembled.

nWere the humans first to initiate the war?

nAngelina Sabrina continued on with a booming voice,

"As everyone knows, we elves only had two princesses.

n

"One of the princesses, Veronica, died at the hands of a human assassin a few nights ago.

n

"And when that assassin was captured, he actually tried his best to kill the other princess, the only Princess left of our elven race — Ulysses Sabrina.

n

"This kind of behavior is undoubtedly trying to cause a huge impact to our elven race!

"

nAt this point, the faces of the residents were filled with anger. On the other hand, the soldiers had solemn looks.

nWith such a statement and attack, this was unavoidable.

nEven if the elves did not attack the humans, the humans would still take the initiative to attack first.

nWhen that time came, many of them would still have to go to the battlefield and risk their lives.

nThere was no choice!

nAngelina Sabrina paused for a moment before she continued,

"Warriors, it is time for us to protect ourselves!

n

"We are not fighting for the sake of aggression, not for profit, not even for the honor!

n

"We are fighting for survival, for the sake of future generations, for the sake of our only dignity!

n

"Some of you used to be farmers, some used to be fishermen, some used to be craftsmen, and some used to be traders…

n

"However!

"

nAngelina Sabrina suddenly raised her voice, this caused many people to shift their attention to her voice.

n

"But, as long as you win this war!

n

"I promise you that your children will no longer be farmers, fishermen, craftsmen, and traders!

n

"Your children and grandchildren will inherit the honor you brought them today!

n

"The entire elven race will remember your contributions today!

n

"You will always be the Great Heroes of the elven race!

"

nAt this point, all the soldiers had excited expressions on their faces.

nCould their sons and descendants also become nobles?

nDid they not have to work so hard every day for the rest of their lives?

nCould they really become… Great Heroes for generations to come?

nThe soldiers had become excited, and their eyes burned with fighting spirit.

nAngelina Sabrina turned around and took the Scepter of Life from Ulysses who stood behind her.

n

"From this moment on, everyone's fate is in your own hands!

n

"Do you want to be the slaves to the human race, or the souls of the dead on the battlefield?

n

"Once more, or do you wish to become masters of the humans, moreover Great Heroes of the elves?

n

"These decisions befall upon you!

n

"Only victory is allowed in this battle, you can not lose!

n

"For all the warriors...

"

nAngelina Sabrina took a deep breath, and commanded,

"Follow me and take charge into the City of Light

"

nShe raised the Scepter of Life in her hand towards the sky, the emerald on the tip of the scepter sparkled brightly under the sun.
