Chapter 327: Chapter 287: Elves! Never Slaves! (Seeking monthly tickets)
"Mr. Wright!"
The opposing elf, with a face full of righteousness, angrily questioned.
"Do you intend to plunge the Elf Empire into the whirlpool of war? Don’t you know that the empire is currently incapable of handling a war of this scale?
Our military has long since declined, and our economy is deeply bound to the human side. The population has been declining year by year.
If we recklessly get involved in a war under such circumstances, we are sure to be shattered!
Although these words are harsh, they are the ironclad truth!
Why get involved in a war that could bring catastrophic disaster when the Elf Empire is so weak!
Can you explain this to us?"
After the opposing elf finished asking the question, the entire square was silent, and nearly all the elves were eagerly looking at Wright.
The question and answer session had reached the point where it finally addressed the concerns everyone truly cared about.
The elves feared not the conscription, but the war that conscription would bring.
Wright calmly looked at the crowd, and finally, his gaze fell on the elf at the questioning position across from him.
"You’re right. The Elf Clan has not seen war for a long time.
Today’s Elf Empire cannot withstand the ravages of war. The existence of the Elf Empire itself is dependent on the Human Clan.
Under these circumstances, continuing to maintain oneself is obviously the best choice.
However.
The weak have no right to choose!"
Wright’s voice suddenly rose, like a sharp sword piercing into the hearts of all elves.
"Do you think avoiding war will mean war will not find you!
Do you think craving peace means peace will not abandon you?
Do you think that as long as you keep to yourself and live your small lives, you can live in peace and quiet with others?
Dream on!
If this world were truly so beautiful, why are there still so many conflicts, destruction, and wars?"
At this point, Wright took out a document and projected its contents onto the light screen.
"Everyone should know my identity, I am an Apprentice Saint of the Holy Light Church. This is a charge document for the First Empire obtained through special channels.
At this moment, it might just be reaching the upper echelons of all Holy Empires among humans and has yet to be announced to the public.
You’re fortunate to see it in advance, so take a good look at the most important point here!
The once Holy First Empire Rosena is about to be stripped of its Holy designation.
In other words, the Holy Rosena First Empire will become the Free Rosena First Empire.
This is not just a change in title!
Being expelled from the Holy Sequence means that all peace treaties signed by the Holy Light Church with the Elf Empire will be invalid concerning the Rosena Empire!
That is to say, if Rosena attacks the Elf Empire, it does not violate the Church’s treaty!
As the country bordering the Elf Empire the most, having annexed the most territories from the Ancient Elf Empire and having the worst habit of selling elf population.
This is like a vicious hound unleashed from its chains and rope!
At the moment this document comes into effect, the Elf Empire will immediately become their legitimate target of attack.
Right now, as I analyze these damned clauses for you, the First Empire may already be preparing to launch an invasion on the Elf Empire!
They are recruiting soldiers! They are sharpening their knives! They may even be discussing how to divide these fertile lands and capture elf slaves after annexing the Elf Empire!
War! Is imminent! The Elf Empire has come to a critical point of life and death!
Yet you still ask! Why recruit soldiers?"
The elves stared blankly at the document regulations on the light screen, panic spreading through the scene.
Earlier, they were still discussing whether to respond to the conscription policy, and in a blink of an eye, war had already arrived before them.
The despair that rushed head-on felt suffocating!
Some elves even cried out loud on the spot.
The opposing elf’s face turned pale, her hands tightly gripping the edge of the table, her eyes wide open.
"But! But we are not prepared! Our population, our army! The elf, the Elf Empire cannot withstand this war!
What should we do? What should we do?"
"What to do? If push comes to shove, just bow your heads in defeat, then cede territory, compensate with money and end it!
After all! Aren’t you quite adept at it?"
Wright’s words caused the elves at the scene to turn pale. They glared angrily at the man in front of them but were unable to say a word.
Because, indeed, this is what they’ve been doing all these years.
Wright suddenly laughed coldly: "The once Elf Empire possessed vast territories.
But now, it cowers in a corner!
Where did those lands, those territories earned inch by inch through the bloody battles of elf ancestors, go?
Yeah, they were ceded by you bit by bit! Piece by piece! Again and again!
I went to the Life Leaf Library two days ago and researched the history of the Elf Empire.
I found an interesting phenomenon regarding the Elf Clan.
Every showdown, every war!
As long as the situation became unfavorable!
A voice would appear domestically, opposing the continuation of the war.
Then, peace negotiations, territorial concessions, war damage compensation, and even several extremely humiliating marriages!
I combed through nearly three hundred years of the Elf Empire’s history of decline, and it was scrawled with one word!
