Chapter 1258: Night Elves, Let’s Fight For Freedom!
Fireballs and giant icicles crashed into those dark caves. The water-type magic casters solidified the water element in the environment, turned it into torrents, and poured them into the cave as if they wanted to fill it up completely.
Uncountable magic spells landed on the peak, and the giant mountain peak began to tremble. Rocks broke off and shattered everywhere as if it was going to collapse.
In a spacious area in the underground cavern, the hundreds of elves present didn’t show a hint of fear on their faces or make any attempts to retreat even though rocks could fall onto them any time.
Irina stood in the middle of the crowd, and her gaze swept across all the old faces. They were the old soldiers that had defended the Wind Forest in the past. She loudly said, “Today’s battle could be our last battle with the underground cavern as our base. To many of our comrades, it could also be their last battle. But many more of our comrades have already infiltrated our enemies’ ranks. They will be bearing the mission of spreading the embers of the revolution among our enemies and make the fire of freedom blaze through the Wind Forest.”
“Please go, Your Highness. Let us old soldiers take this last sentry. Please leave with the young ones who are still staying behind. You are the hope of the Wind Forest and the main support of the revolution. You cannot fall here,” an old elf pleaded.
“Yes. Please go, Your Highness. Lead these young people to the final victory in this war and build the real elven state!”
The other elves began to plead as well.
“What the youngsters of the Wind Forest lack is courage and guts. Today, I will be telling them what they are fighting against, and what guts and freedom are.”
Fire seemed to have lit up in all the elves’ eyes. Even though they were elderlies 700-800 years old, their chests seemed to be filled with heated blood, as if they saw the queen who had led them in the fight against invaders in the past.
The torrents that were gushing into the caves were blocked by a blue light screen, and then turned back into rising steam. The icicles and fireballs landed inside the caves that were sealed by rocks, so they, too, didn’t do any damage to the Night Elves who were gathered in the inner part of the underground cavern.
“The war has begun. It’s time for us to enter the stage.” Irina turned and walked toward the cave’s entrance. She waved her hands, and the flood that was gushing in from all the passageways turned back instantly as she disappeared from the cave.
Bam, bam, bam!!!
The flood that was in the underground cavern turned into ice columns, and flew out of the underground cavern from all the entrances. They became waterfalls that drenched all elves that surrounded the peak.
Then, Irina appeared on the mountain’s peak and looked down at the elven army.
“It’s Princess Irina!”
The elves who were releasing magic stopped their actions subconsciously when they saw Irina who was standing alone on the mountain’s peak.
In the past 10-odd years, Irina was always deemed the pride of Wind Forest and the next elf queen.
Even though she had become the leader of the Night Elves, and was going against the rule of the Wind Forest, there was still a barrier in the elves’ hearts that prevented them from acting against her.
And those normal elven soldiers felt even more complicated now.
The princess was fighting against the oppression for them, the lowly elves, yet they were standing against her and fighting for the oppressors. It made them embarrassed yet helpless.
The excited emotions that were running high among the elves were suppressed quickly, and this suppression spread rapidly. Many elves even lowered their heads to avoid looking at Irina.
Sally raised her head to gaze at that figure on the peak. Her white skirt was billowing in the wind like that of a goddess, and she looked downward on everything just like a regnant queen.
She was still that proud princess even when in dire straits. People could only look up to her existence.
“You have mobilized all the elites of the Wind Forest to annihilate the Night Elves. Helena, Borg, how afraid of us are you?” Irina looked at Helena and Borg as she smirked. “Did the call for freedom terrify you?”
Borg’s expression was severe when he looked at those elven soldiers who lowered their heads. He had to stop himself from whipping them.
Helena remained cold as usual as she said to Irina, “Irina, if you surrender with the Night Elves now, I will spare them. You will be placed under house arrest and judged by Her Majesty the queen herself when she comes out from her seclusion.”
“Surrender? This is not my style, nor is it the Night Elves’ style.” Irina shook her head and chuckled. “This will be an extended war. The elves at the base will get together and overthrow your rule eventually. They will build a brand-new free state. And today, we are going to kick off this war.
“Night Elves, let’s fight for freedom!”
Figures after figures of Night Elves began to appear at the cave entrances, and their shouts were deafening!
There was a gleam dancing in all the elven soldiers’ eyes as they looked at those elves who were shouting to fight for freedom. Something seemed to have touched their hearts and accelerated their beating.
The middle-ranked commanders couldn’t hide the fear on their faces. They’d already sensed the strong determination of those fellows as they surrounded the underground cavern for one month. They had defended the underground cavern with only one-tenth of their forces. If their numbers were to increase by another 10 folds or 100 folds, they dared not imagine what the Wind Forest would become.
Helena had a dark expression. She had given her all to the elf species before building this stable and powerful establishment, but now these fellows were trying to overthrow it. They all deserved to roast over the pit!
“The elf species has never been as powerful and stable like it is now. No other species will dare to invade the Wind Forest ever again, but you traitors are trying to topple the Wind Forest and create unrest and war. You all deserve to be executed and have your names carved onto the elf species’ Pillar of Shame!” Helena raised up the crystal ball in her hands, and starlight was sparkling as she coldly shouted, “Troops, exterminate these traitors!”
6000 elven soldiers began to charge toward the underground cavern. The magic spells and arrows that were halted earlier began to rain down on the mountain peak crazily.
Irina closed her eyes, spread her arms, and softly chanted, “God of Light, please bestow the power upon me and let the holy light illuminate the world!”
The magic caster’s staff raised up in front of her and began to spin crazily. Beams of light began to shoot out from the golden ball at the top of the magic caster’s staff.
The instant the chanting stopped, golden light that was brighter than the sun suddenly burst out from the golden ball and radiated out.
“My eyes!”
The elves who were charging and surrounding the peak covered their eyes at the same time. Everything went black as if they had gone blind, and their formations became a mess.
Irina opened her eyes as she grabbed her magic caster’s staff, and shouted in a cold voice, “Helena, you snatched my newborn child when I was at my weakest after childbirth. Let’s settle this score today.”
She then took a step forward and disappeared from the mountain’s peak.
