Chapter 1427: All Of You Are Free Now!
“Comrades, I received a secret missive from the princess last night. The chance that we’ve been waiting for while lying low has finally arrived. Those aristocrats have brought their best soldiers with them while they locked their servants and slaves in the dungeons. We’re going to burst into the dungeons, rescue our brothers and sisters who are locked up, and liberate this land!”
In a dark cellar, an elf spoke with agitation in his voice as he looked at all the young faces in front of him.
“Liberate the land, liberate the slaves!” All the elves acknowledged him quietly with an equally agitated expression as they grasped their weapons and magic staffs.
“The conferring ceremony is about to begin, and it’s time for us to act. The princess and our brothers who are captured will try to buy us time, but all that is going to happen in the domains will have to depend on us.” That elf drew out his sword gradually, and said in a low voice, “For Freedom!”
“For Freedom.” All the elves stood up with their weapons raised up high, and followed that leader elf out of the cellar to begin their operation.
Similar events were taking place all over the domains in the Wind Forest. Those elves who had regained their faith in freedom began to gather as they answered the Night Elves’ call. They then picked up their weapons, and broke into the heavily guarded dungeons as they commenced their operation to liberate the slaves.
There were the low-caste elves among them, and also the noble elves who were deeply inspired and the elves who were guarding the domains.
The elven guards were either captured or killed. There were even many of them who chose to join the other side after learning about their agenda.
The chains in the dungeon were smashed open, and the slaves and servants locked in there were liberated. The heavy chains on their limbs were broken.
“All of you are free now!” the Night Elves shouted at those elves who were still in a daze.
“Freedom!” A gleam flashed through the eyes of those dejected elves. As if they had begun to make sense of something, their expression slowly became excited too.
“Now, we’re going to leave here, leave the Wind Forest and go southward to Chaos City. Princess Irina has already set up a base there, and we will lead a free life there,” the leading Night Elf said as he brought all the slaves and other elves out of the dungeon. They brought along all the ordinary elves and the elven guards who chose to join them willingly as they broke into the nobles’ stables housing horses and magic beasts. They then made their dash toward the south on the backs of those mounts.
Those elven guards who tried to resist were either killed or locked in the dungeons.
Black smoke began to rise up everywhere in the Wind Forest. That was the distress signal from all the nobles’ domains, and it looked as if a razing fire was now burning everywhere in the Wind Forest.
“Seems like the infiltration was very successful. What a spectacular scene.” Mag sat on Ah Zi’s back and looked down on the Wind Forest, which was set ablaze, with a smile on his face.
The Night Elves’ performance had far exceeded his expectations. He had flown by a few elven domains earlier, and there wasn’t any need for him to interfere at all.
Because the Night Elves had already rescued the slaves successfully. They broke into the nobles’ stables, and brought the slaves on their long expedition.
Their good execution and the empathy of the ordinary elves made this operation much smoother than anticipated.
On the other hand, the conferring ceremony had formally begun at Life Square right now.
The aristocratic elves in their opulent clothes were standing in the square according to their status. The leaders of the eight major families stood in the forefront, and Elliot was standing right in their center.
Everyone knew clearly that the Brewster Family would be the most noble family in the Wind Forest from today onward.
Vincent was standing in a corner. The Baibilly Family was also the focus of the conferring ceremony today. However, the gazes of the elves didn’t stop at Vincent for long. They all landed on Blour next to him.
Blour, who was wearing an aqua-blue robe today, looked even more outstanding with his aloof and handsome looks. Even among the elves who were generally very good-looking, he still stood out among the crowd. This made many noble maidens’ eyes widen as they glanced at him secretly.
Nobody had expected that this third young master of the Baibilly Family who had a bad reputation was in fact very handsome. Moreover, he had a 7th-tier power just like Miss Sally, so he was also very gifted.
Those elves who had initially thought that the Baibilly Family had attempted to punch above their weight started to reassess the situation again. Could it be that our Princess Sally really likes this Master Blour?
Blour stood there with an aloof expression, but he couldn’t hide the panic in the depths of his eyes. He, too, had received a letter that came from Chaos City last night.
It was a very bold operation, but it matched Princess Irina’s character to a T.
His comrades among the Night Elves should be already making their move right now. After the elite forces were assigned to guard the conferring ceremony, all families’ internal defenses were very weak. This operation might really succeed.
Once the operation to free the slaves succeeded, it would definitely be an operation that cut the ground from under the elves’ feet.
A huge change would take place in the current structure. The lowliest base that was exploited would be completely removed, so how would the nobles react after they lost their slaves? This was definitely a tough problem for the rulers.
He couldn’t do anything right now. The entire Baibilly Family would lose their lives if his identity was exposed.
However, a hint of coldness and sneer flashed across Blour’s eyes as he watched those elven aristocrats laughing, joking, and showing off their extravagant clothes, servants, and slaves. All these things were going to disappear. He hoped these people wouldn’t suffer too badly after they fell from their pedestals.
Dong…
A low chime of the bell rang, and Life Square gradually quieted down.
There was a flash on the platform in front of the Tree of Life before Helena appeared on it. She looked down on the aristocrats below, and declared in a calm voice, “Today, I will be hosting the conferring ceremony of the princess on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen. We will be officially conferring Sally as the new elven princess.”
A white jade carriage pulled by nine pure white unicorns stopped in front of the square. Sally, who was wearing an opulent silver long dress, emerged from it. Her gaze swept across the elves present and landed on Blour. She retrieved her gaze shortly after, walked down the white jade steps slowly, and proceeded to the platform gracefully.
“No wonder she is the elf chosen by the high priestess. Princess Sally’s grace is just like the queen’s!”
“We, the elves, finally have our very princess again. This is such great news!”
The elves were looking at Sally with ill-concealed fervor in their expressions.
Helena was also watching Sally with a relieved smile. The regret of her inability to control Irina would become history. She would groom Sally into the queen that she envisioned, and ensure the elves had a stronger future.
