Chapter 158: Attack On Eldryth
The moment King Theron vanished, Vamir wasted no time as the gravity of the situation demanded immediate action.
He swiftly made his way to the heart of the Elven capital, where the other High Elves were gathered.
Vamir recounted Theron’s brazen attack, the destruction of their barrier, and the human king’s chilling parting words.
They met the news with dread, as they new that somehow the news of the death had leaked. That made them believe that it was the humans responsible, but they decided not to address that yet.
Their first, most crucial step was to awaken Loryn from his closed cultivation, but his awakening brought a fresh wave of grim news.
"I have not succeeded. My control and will have sharpened, but I am yet to fully master my three elements. So far, I have completely mastered but a single element, and that, alas, does not make me a Sovereign."
A heavy silence descended upon the High Elves.
They had hoped Loryn would emerge as a full Sovereign, capable of directly challenging the human king. Now, that hope was dashed.
Loryn, sensing the despair, straightened his shoulders.
"Regardless, we will defend Eldryth with every fiber of our being. We will stand as an unbreachable wall against this human’s insolence. They will find no easy victory here."
His words, though a stark reminder of their peril, reignited a flicker of resolve within the High Elves.
Preparations began with a renewed, grim determination.
