Book 10: Chapter 22
“Your Excellency, are we going to continue with this war?”
Eight individuals sat together in the conference hall, but there was no longer anybody behind the black veil. The Queen should’ve currently been in the cave that was akin to a spider web, producing countless eggs. Despite these anthropoids looking down on the fallen elven race, they had no choice but to depend on the elves. The elves were the only ones who could give birth to countless anthropoid soldiers, after all.
The elder touched the ruby jewel on his walking stick, and then smashed it on the ground hard. He smashed it so hard it could virtually crack the smooth floor. He looked at the individual who spoke and raged, “Of course. Do we have a way out? If we did, we could think about things, but we don’t. It’s all because of you werewolves letting that girl Ling Yue slip away. She’s the Moon Fox Tribe’s most outstanding descendant who even has elven blood in her. We could’ve used her as a seedbed to maintain the warmth in the North!”
The anthropoid flashed his yellow fangs and thundered, “Exterminating the Moon Fox Tribe was your idea, Birdman. We never wanted to kill them. We needed them to keep the land warm. You were the ones who got bloodthirsty and wanted to kill all of them, and you let one get away! Because of you, we have no way of backing down now! We must continue with this war!”
“We haven’t lost yet. We can overlook the losses we have suffered; they were just scouts. We still have what it takes to fight.”
The elder had no response. Indeed, the issue with the matter did lie with the Winged Race. He never thought his own tribesmen would go against his order and kill the foxes. Perhaps it was because the winged races and the foxes had personalities that clashed.
He returned the discussion back to the war topic.
“That is not how it is, Elder.”
An individual with white hair from the other side came over. He looked at the elder and spoke in a graceful tone, “We never expected the elves and humans to unite. According to our intel, they were supposed to be on bad terms, and only maintained the most basic form of peace for reasons unknown to us. We truly never expected that they would unite when the war commenced.”
