Chapter 469 - Negotiations Failed, I Presume?

General Paeris wrinkled his brows and asked, "I would like to ask if Queen Radelia has exited from the Heart of Spring Chamber yet or not?"

"Whether Queen Radelia exited or not is none of your business, general. Please leave." The royal guard said rudely.

The Elf General might be well received among the commoners, but the same cannot be said for the royal guards. They did not need to give the Elf General any preferential treatment.

General Paeris immediately frowned.

Even if the royal guards did not respect him, they did not need to respond so rudely. Something about their behaviors felt awfully suspicious to him, like they were purposely hiding news of Queen Radelia.

However, there was no point because he already found out the Elf Queen was inside the Heart of Spring Chamber from the other royal guards.

"What if I am the one asking?" An Elder stepped forward and asked with a stern gaze while emanating the aura of his transcendental cultivation.

The expressions of all the royal guards immediately stiffened as they stood with their backs straight.

"Esteemed Elder, we are just following orders. Please don't make things difficult for us." One of the royal guards said politely, a clear contrast in attitude to the treatment the Elf General received.

"Oh?"

The Elder frowned and questioned, "And what could be so important about the Elf Queen's whereabouts that you cannot even answer such a simple question, hmm?"

"Well…"

The royal guards hesitated for a moment before one of them spoke, "The Crown Prince and Second Princess are at a critical junction in their breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm."

"Are you hinting that Queen Radelia is still inside the Heart of Spring Chamber with the Crown Prince and Second Princess?"

"…"

The royal guards did not answer further, causing the Elder's expression to turn gloomy.

Apart from the smoke billowing from the burning forest, the sky was clear. There was no indication of a Transcendent Phenomenon occurring.

Even so, the Elders did not press further.

Rumble...

The tribe continued to shake from the devastation of the battle outside.

Supreme Elder Haldir narrowly evaded the Elder Tree's roots by a hair's breadth before he glared at King Erendriel.

"Look around! You need to stop this madness at once! You're destroying the tribe!" He shouted.

At the same time, the Supreme Elder frowned at King Erendriel's means to communicate with the Guardian Spirit.

"O great Guardian Spirit, it is not I who wish to cause you harm but he who has been blinded by jealousy and madness!"

Despite Supreme Elder Haldir's words, the Guardian Spirit did not listen and continued to attack him.

King Erendriel's sneered with a mocking expression, "Give up! The Guardian Spirit will not listen to you! Not while I have this!"

The Elf King flashed his emerald ring before he added, "You don't need to worry about the tribe! Once you die, everything will be better again! So long as the tribe's foundation is still here, it can be rebuilt after you are gone!"

Boom!

Supreme Elder Haldir narrowly evaded another one of the Elder Tree's roots, causing the ground to rupture in his place.

The impact of the Elder Tree's attacks formed web-like fissures along the surface of the earth, tearing apart homes and swallowing countless elves in the process

"Calm your anger, O great Guardian Spirit—Ahh!"

"Nooo! Save me!"

The elves tried to escape, but they could not outrun the spread of the shattering earth.

Supreme Elder Haldir shot back in retreat as he gazed at the scene with an ugly expression.

So many innocent lives were being implicated in their mess!

Supreme Elder Haldir glared at King Erendriel, hovering in the sky with a cold glint as killing intent began seeping out.

He did not know what the emerald ring in the Elf King's possession was, but he knew it had to remove it from the Elf King.

The Elf King had gone too far!

At the same time, King Erendriel's form gave insights into ways the Supreme Elder had never thought of trying previously.

New vines intertwined themselves with old ones and began sprouting leaves from his back, forming his own pair of wings.

In a short instance, the Supreme Elder took flight into the skies to face King Erendriel, no longer planning to hold back.

The longer the battle was dragged out, the more suffering the innocent elves would have to experience!

Around this time, Leon exited the periphery of the inner parts of the Great Forest and arrived on the outskirts of Elvengarde with Aria and Princess Faelyn.

The state of the elven tribe left Leon and Aria astounded, while Princess Faelyn was devastated by the sight. The fearful and mournful cries of her fellow tribesmen amidst the chaos broke her heart.

"Why did the tribe become like this?" Faelyn muttered.

Boom!

The Elder Tree tried to slap the Supreme Elder out of the sky with one of its roots but missed and impacted the ground, causing more devastation within the area.

Leon quickly grabbed Aria and Princess Faelyn's hand and pulled them away before the impact reached their area.

"The Supreme Elder and my father are fighting!"

Princess Faelyn quickly discovered the two figures in the air after Leon landed them safely some distance away.

She was quickly shocked by her father's form.

At the same time, Supreme Elder Haldir overhead Faelyn's exclamation and turned his gaze over to their direction in surprise before he shouted, "Young prince, Miss Aria, Princess Faelyn! All of you should quickly leave! It's not safe here!"

However, Leon shortly flew over after leaving Aria and Princess Faelyn on the outskirts of the tribe, not taking the Supreme Elder's warning to mind.

"I take it that negotiations have failed?" He casually presumed before shortly gazing at King Erendriel's bizarre form in the distance.

Although he subtly anticipated something like this would have happened, the Elf King's drastic transformation still left him surprised.

Knowing Leon's strength, Supreme Elder Haldir no longer persuaded him to leave as he could use Leon's assistance.

The Supreme Elder shortly nodded, "I'm rather embarrassed to admit it, but yes, the Elf King cannot accept the terms we agreed upon."
