I think Troy City feels honoured, because the grandest event in millenniums on this continent could be witnessed here . You could see humanity’s Empress and the Elven Queen both here at the same time for an event .
Virtually all of the high ranking officials that ran the continent were gathered at Troy City’s plaza . They were comparable to a humungous spider web that held the entire continent together .
The high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming and going were all extremely excited . To be invited here, was proof that their ruler held them in high regard . The attack of the anthropoids from the North swept up the entire continent as if a rampaging tornado of war came through . These people who lived for money immediately knew what they had to do . And that was, to prepare for war .
They had to prepare for a war similar to those a decade ago and numerous decades ago . No matter how humanity’s history changed, no matter how many rulers have come and gone, war always existed . This war was a chance to restart their wealth and power, so it was natural for these people, who move for money and power, to not let such an opportunity slip .
Moreover, the invitation this time was obviously very important, for there were two people at the table that was situated in the centre of the plaza . Furthermore, the people invited here this time weren’t just their own kind . All of the high-ranking elven and human va.s.sals were seated together . They looked at each other tensely and vigilantly, afraid that the other party would pull out a weapon from underneath the table . The two races sat together both peacefully and tensely . However, all of them, both humans and elves, went silent the next instant, because their rulers arrived .
“Your Majesty!!!”
“Your Highness!!!”
The people on both sides stood up, faced their ruler and bowed to salute them in their different voices .
Two of the greatest rulers of the continent walked over from the left and right . One of them was dressed in an extravagant emerald dress . Her ornaments on her, swayed in accordance with her graceful steps . She had small ornaments on her ears . Her crystal clear eyes contained a dignified and elegant aura . Her pink ample lips curved up into a smile .
On the other side was another woman in the military uniform of a highly competent individual . Her black boots carried her meteoric steps . There wasn’t a speck of dust or blemish on her boots . They reflected the sunlight and the cold . She had all sorts of emblems hanging off her well-ironed military uniform . The ruby on her commander’s sabre at her waist was particularly s.h.i.+ny . There was no smile beneath her black eyes . She looked dominant and had the discipline of a soldier on her face . Her long black hair swayed as she walked .
The woman with long blonde hair looked at her calmly . The two rulers exchanged cold eye contact with each other, totally ignoring everyone else below . I looked at the awkward atmosphere between them and let out a heavy sigh from behind . I whispered to Freya next to me, “I think that the two of them are just going to continue staring each other down if I don’t go up…”
“I don’t think they will . Your Majesty, they are two mothers fighting for you in front of you, but they are very rational rulers before their va.s.sals and people . ”
Elizabeth made her move before Freya could finish . She drew her sword at her waist . The cold metal reflected the faces of the two . Vyvyan extended her hand out and grabbed Elizabeth’s blade . The blade cut the Queen’s palm, causing blood to spill slowly from the cut . She then let her blood run down into a jar in front of her .
“I shall spill the blood of low-lives . ”
“I shall spill the blood of low-lives . ”
Elizabeth pulled her sword back, and then grabbed her blade the same way . She recited a choppy phrase . I a.s.sumed that was humanity’s ancient language .
“I shall spill the blood of low-lives . ”
Vvyan watched her blood mix together with Elizabeth’s then recited it in the elven language .
The two didn’t bother with the wound in their palms . They used their blood, still spilling out, to fill the jar in front of them . Their cuts then healed, as though they never got cut afterwards . They scooped out two full cups of wine from the jar . The mixture of wine and blood ran down the sides of the cup . The two exchanged glances . They then held their cups for a clink before downing the wine mixed with each other’s blood in one go .
“I, Elizabeth Rosvenor, Empress of humanity’s Rosvenor Empire hereby declare!”
“I, Vyvyan Galadriel, Queen off of Duargana Kingdom hereby declare!”
The people below finally understood what happened . They looked at the two rulers facing their people and the people of the other race as they conducted the ceremony . The people of both races exchanged eye glances with astonishment . They realised a war might break out; however, they were wrong . The war had already broken out, but they never imagined that the two races who engaged in a b.l.o.o.d.y war a decade ago would suddenly form an alliance now .

“The elven and human military alliance is hereby established! On behalf of humanity, I hereby announce that humans and elves should come together to face our common enemy . We shall retaliate against the filthy race that attacked us! Elves and humans have ruled this continent for millenniums . We have been friendly with each other and fought with each other, but we must come together when we have a common enemy . We still have the common sense to band together! On behalf of humanity, I announce that humanity will never betray our elven comrades or pursue selfish ends, until our common enemy has fallen . We shall give our everything for this alliance!”
“All living beings in the South should band together . This is a declaration of war from the people we exiled . We shall band together for our land, our past and our future! Elves can no longer maintain independence in the North . We must retaliate . We must completely wipe out the source of trouble attacking us . On behalf of the elves, I hereby declare that we elves shall never betray our human comrades or pursue selfish ends, until our common enemy has fallen . We shall give our everything for this alliance!”
The two rulers encouraged their ministers and va.s.sals to cheer loudly .
“Long live Your Majesty!!”
“For our Queen!!”
The elves and humans below bowed and shouted loudly, declaring their loyalty for their Queen and Empress .
n.o.body opposed them . The elven and human alliance was thereby established! The two races finally stood together to defeat their powerful enemy in the North .

Troy City witnessed all of it .
After that event, two statues were erected in the plaza of Troy City . Said statues captured the moment the empress and queen both reached their hands out toward the blade .
It was also the moment that the two races stood together .
“Now, I hereby announce that the individual who shall act as the Grand Commander of all units for this campaign against the North for the Elven-Human Alliance, will be my son, who I am most proud of, the hero of the Defence of Troy City and commander, Troy Galadriel Rosvenor!!”
