120 conditions of surrender
When I got back to Evolmo, it was already late at night. So Linya decided to use this reason to sleep again, but as a punishment for the annoying Victoria, Linya decided to hide in her arms tonight and sleep soundly on her soft murder weapon.
But what is annoying is that this time the lazy sleep is disturbed by the annoying Chloe. "Oh my God, why are you waking me up, damn Chloe?" protested Linya in frustration, and slipped back into the fragrant bed. But soon she was picked up by Victoria like a rag doll. "It's okay to be lazy!" Victoria smiled and kissed the little princess on the cheek, "Those messengers of the dark elves have made it clear that the Dao surname must get your promise, so it's not okay to be willful or anything!"
"But...... Those nasty dark elves, if they want to surrender, they can surrender, what conditions are there to talk to Cesa directly?Why do you have to trouble me?" was pressed by Victoria in the bath and carefully washed, Linya really lost her temper, so she had to continue to take out her anger at those nasty dark elves, and her heart was full of resentment. "Ahhh
The annoying Victor Lea is just like the female foreman of Leia, who likes to take the little princess up and take a bath when she has nothing to do. Could it be because she's born to be an aquatic creature?, but Chloe seems to really hate water, so she can only shrug her shoulders to the sidelines to express sympathy. Maybe it's because of the fear of getting your wings wet?" Linya's eyes rolled, and while the little angel was not looking, she grabbed her arm and pulled her into the bath.
"Ahh "No, my wings ......," Chloe was on the verge of crying.
Looking at the little bird's embarrassment, Victoria couldn't hold back the smile on her face, and the little bird couldn't blame her at all. But the little princess is really in a good mood these days, everyone can see it.
"Wow, Chloe looks so cute now!" Seeing the little angel's grief-stricken expression, Linya actually laughed heartlessly, "Come and take a bath with me every day in the future!
The three girls continued to laugh for a while, and by the time they arrived at the council chamber of Evolmo after breakfast, it was already two hours later. Cesa, the Speaker, the Bishop, the Elders, and others had been waiting on the central main platform for a long time, the seats on the left were crowded with the councilors, officials, and generals of the Wood Elves, and the empty seats were left on the right, where several messengers of the Dark Elves stood.
Linya had also had a general understanding of the follow-up process of the war before, the mercenaries of the dwarves and orcs, and the blood reinforcements of Calabim had already been completely wiped out by the army of the Treants, but there were still 50,000 to 60,000 Svatalfa's dark elf army besieged by the Green Shadow River, and there was no way to escape. In addition, there are already 20,000 Wood Elf troops marching towards the western city of Svatalfa with a part of the Treant army, having crossed the original border area three days ago. As for the cities of the Dark Elves, the regular army had long since been requisitioned, and the tall walls were like a ridiculous toy in front of these huge and stout treemenβit was just that in order to avoid casualties, Cesha had not yet ordered an all-out attack.
Perhaps in the current situation, for the dark elves, fighting for a reasonable surrender condition should be the best outcome, otherwise the army of wood elves will definitely have the ability to wipe out all the dark elf armies and cities in an instant. So, their messenger has now come to Evomo.
Just looking at the atmosphere and scene in the council hall, the elves' expressions didn't seem to be happy.
When Linya walked in accompanied by the little angel and the little fishman, all the elves present hurriedly stood up and saluted, including those dark elves. After returning the salute, Linya walked to the seat next to Sesa and sat down, and asked strangely, "Sister Sesa, what's the matter? Why do you want to find me for this kind of thing?
Sesha shook her head gently and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple...... Let them speak for themselves. β
The messenger of the dark elves stepped forward and bowed to Linya again. "Your Highness Garisha, it is an honour to have you here. Your Majesty Queen Cesa, Ladies and Gentlemen. So I'll repeat what we're saying again. After urgent consultations in the Swatalfa Parliament, we have decided to accept the surrender notice from Lejosharfa. First of all, let me explain the basic attitude of our parliament. The parliament has recognized the complete defeat of Svatarfa, and all cities will give up resistance and open their gates to surrender. At the same time, all the former Swatalfa troops will also lay down their arms and surrender to be reorganized or demobilized. All the original government system and state property will also be subject to reorganization, revocation or takeover. That is, the history of Svatalfa as a state is coming to an end. The council will accept Lejosharfa as the sole legitimate government representing the entire Twilight Forest and the Elven Kingdom. β
"Ah, that's good, I'm glad you made the right choice, so that no more elves will be harmed by war. Linya said happily.
"Thank you, Your Highness Gaisha. However, please understand that we also have some conditions before surrendering, and we hope to get the promise of Lejo Sharfa, as well as your promise. The messenger bowed.
"I can understand that. Please state your conditions. Linya nodded.
"Thank you for your understanding. First, although the dark elves have failed, since we have surrendered, then we hope to get a clear commitment from Lejosharfa to ensure the personal safety of all dark elves, and not to be harmed by war or other reasons. This is also where we hope to receive the promise of Her Highness Gaisha. The messenger of the dark elves said without humility or arrogance.
Linya turned her head to look at Sesha and the other elves, nodded and said, "Although I am not qualified to promise anything to you on behalf of Lejo Sarfa, I believe that this condition is no problem. I can promise you that I will guarantee the safety of all of you Dark Elves as long as you surrender sincerely, lay down your arms, disarm, and abandon your government. If you are violated, I will seek justice for you. β
"Thank you so much, Your Highness the Honourable Gaisha. The second is that even if we surrender, we have a very clear bottom line, that is, we will never accept the fate of enslavement. We don't know how Lejosharfa will treat, settle, and deal with our people in the future, and we don't expect to have the same civil rights as the Wood Elves, but we also want to demand the most basic rights, including the right to legal property and the right to move freely. Yes, we can leave the Twilight Forest with our possessions, and I guess that's probably the best outcome for both of us. The Dark Elf Emissary said again.
"Well...... That's right, freedom is the most sacred fundamental right of every human being, and I couldn't agree more. But," Linya looked at Cesa, "it's not up to me to decide what to do with the people of the former Svatalfa. I would like to wait until the end of the General Council of Lejo Charfa to give you a specific answer. β
"We understand, thank you. The last condition is about Her Majesty Queen Fairre. β
"Oh? I wonder what Her Majesty Fairrell plans to do now? Ordinary dark elves may be forgiven as her subjects, but as a leader, she has committed countless crimes against the forest and elves, such as dividing the country, corrupting the earth, cutting down forests, ceding territories, and starting civil wars, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get rid of, right?" Linya thought for a moment, and the faces of the surrounding wood elves turned gloomy again.
"I'm afraid...... She couldn't think about it so much. The expression of the dark elf messenger was also sad, "Your Majesty Fairrell has passed away. β
"What? what's going on? wasn't she okay on the day of the decisive battle?" Linya was surprised by the sudden news.
"That's right, Your Highness Gaisha. When His Majesty Arundel blew the horn of the wind, His Majesty Philrell became extremely agitated and uncontrollable, probably because of extreme anger, despair, and fear. As a result, the wound on her left chest that you had previously shot through with the Hydro Arrow suddenly and completely cracked, splitting her heart and surging blood into her lungs, eventually succumbing to her death due to blood loss and suffocation. The messenger explained in a deep voice.
Linya was completely sure that he wasn't lying. It was a surprise that Philrell would die in such a way, but it seemed reasonable. In order to gain the right to rule the entire forest, she planned for hundreds of years, spent countless efforts, and tried all means, but in the end she still fell short, which is really embarrassing. With her character, the final despair and anger are indeed somewhat empathetic, and this way of dying seems to be the most vivid commentary on her life, and the most ruthless irony.
And these two cousin queens, who have been fighting for thousands of years, finally died at the same time on the same day. Is this a coincidence, or is there really such a thing as "the mockery of fate" in the world?
It's just that fate is also fair.
A queen will live on forever in the hearts of the elves.
The other will only leave endless infamy and spurn.
