The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 88 Humanity's Red and White Cops
Serka Radiance panicked and tried to adjust her words.

Meanwhile, Leah kept talking:
"We were careless in falling into your human trap."

"Kill me or torture me, do as you please!"

Leah's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she continued to curse.

Your Highness, saying one less word won't kill you... but saying one more word might mean death...

Seraphim was sweating profusely. Leaning to the left, she nudged the elven priest, Guirasser Goldflake, and desperately tried to signal him with her eyes.

meaning is:

Why don't you say something to stop Princess Lia from continuing?
Unfortunately, since magic is unavailable, Serka can't even cast a simple communication spell and can only try to hint at things through facial expressions and body language.

Noticing that Serka was giving him a meaningful look, Guiraser Goldfleur immediately understood what she meant, swallowed hard, and took a deep breath, as if he were going through a huge internal struggle.

After a brief hesitation, the elven priest mustered his courage and looked directly at the powerful human figures before him, saying:

"Just as Her Highness said, elves will never bow down to other races!"

"The elves have only lost a war, but the elven gods are always with us and will surely lead us into a bright and glorious future."

"To the unscalable gods, all the disputes of the mortal world, the victories and defeats of all wars, are of no importance."

"You are a godless race. Even if you win once, you will never go far. Any moment of glory will only make you more arrogant and lead you to your final destruction!"

Ah! That foolish priest, he completely misunderstood me...

Serka rolled her eyes, feeling an urge to bang her head on the ground.

"Is this what you three pointy-eared demons are thinking?"

Gutt's lips curled up into a cold laugh:
“When you engage in magical battles, you should have discovered that we humans are far more skilled in necromancy than you—including techniques for imprisoning, torturing, and destroying souls.”

"You certainly don't think that dying at our hands will give you a chance to return to the Elven Kingdom, do you?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them suddenly looked a little darker.

For the Elven race, who can retain their memories after death and enter the blissful realm of Avanto, the inability to return to the Elven divine kingdom of Avanto is a thousand times more terrifying than physical death.

"Of course I know! So what?"

Leah seemed to know she was doomed, and suddenly burst into laughter:
"Anyway, in two centuries, you lowly humans will all turn into skeletons! No god will accept your souls."

"We just left a little early. Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Guter flew into a rage, flicked his right hand, and an incomparably sharp force field blade materialized.

"I was originally planning to capture you as leverage in negotiations with the Elven Royal Court. Since you are determined to die, I will grant your wish."

The incredibly sharp force field blade was pressed against Leah's neck, and a trickle of crimson blood seeped from her neck!

"You're the princess of the Sun Elves, right? I'll start by killing you!"

Leah raised her neck, feeling a stinging pain there. She closed her eyes tightly, resigned to her fate.

Gutt thrust his right hand forward suddenly, about to pierce Leah's trachea.

When the Archmage Kade, who was standing nearby, saw that Gut was about to kill Lia, his eyes widened and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Wait a minute, according to the script His Majesty El-Erian arranged beforehand, it shouldn't have gone this far, right?
According to the original plan, Guterre was only supposed to play the role of the righteous one at this point.

It's not really about killing the enemy's spirit.

But isn't this Gutt acting a little too convincing?
"Guter, you wouldn't act on your own initiative and ruin everyone's plans again, would you?" Kade was startled.

Serka Radiance, standing to the side, was also terrified. She couldn't help but close her eyes, her heart pounding, and she roared inwardly:
"It's all over, it's all over, it's all over! Everyone could have survived! Princess Leah, you're such a fool!" "Wait a minute, Gutt!" Elian shouted sharply, grabbing Gutt's shoulder and stopping him from killing Leah.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Gutt asked, turning his head.

“These three are important figures representing the Elven Royal Court; it’s not appropriate to treat them like this,” Elian calmly advised.

"Then what should we do with them? Should we treat them like royalty?"

Even when facing El-Erian, Gut remained menacing, his eyes burning with fury:

"These pointy-eared demons have invaded our land and are trying to kill us!"

Serka Radiance, standing to the side, was panting heavily.

This human with sharp eyes and a force field blade in his hand is too fierce...

Thankfully, the King of Humanity is still relatively rational...

Seizing this hard-won opportunity, Serka turned to Elion and, speaking as quickly as possible, frantically said before Leah could utter any more harsh words:
"Greetings, Your Majesty, King of Mankind. I am deeply sorry for attacking your land. I sincerely apologize."

"Please, Your Majesty, forgive the folly of us elves."

"We had no other choice but to do this."

"Because Alamir Goldflesh was captured, there was great resentment among the various Sun Elf families, and the voices calling for revenge against humanity were too loud."

"We were forced to bring our troops here..."

"We were forced to comply with public opinion."

Wait, wait, wait, serka, what are you talking about?
You are a noble elf, how can you be so humble?
How dare they use such a humble attitude to communicate with humans?

Leah was furious and was about to unleash a torrent of abuse, hurling a few more insults at humanity.

However, having learned his lesson the hard way last time, Serka was well-prepared this time.

Just as Princess Lia was about to speak, Serka Radiance made the biggest move she could under the restraint of her chains, delivering a powerful elbow strike to Lia's right side as she was about to speak.

puff.

Serka's elbow struck Lia's open mouth, silencing the sun elf princess.

Seizing this brief moment, Serka further intensified her surrender offensive.

The elven legendary mage, whose face was as refined as a strategist's, now had red eyes and was weeping. In a voice trembling with sobs, he pleaded with Elian for mercy:

"Great and benevolent King of Mankind."

"You are unaware of this, but our Elf Queen has already ordered us to exercise restraint."

"Although the enemy is at our gates, we dare not actually fight; we are just putting on a show."

"We came here for a night raid tonight because we had no other choice. We only planned to blow up one or two buildings or other fortifications and then go back to report. We didn't want to actually hurt anyone."

"Please forgive our foolishness, Your Majesty. We simply cannot explain ourselves to the various Sun Elf families if we do not do this!"

Serka Radiance cried out for mercy, her voice hoarse from screaming.

When Leah heard this, she was furious.

The tightly bound sun elf princess shook her head from side to side, shaking off the elbow that was covering her mouth.

Then, she opened her mouth, ready to unleash a torrent of curses, simultaneously denouncing humanity and the sycophantic traitor Seka.
