"Alex isn't all that scary. Even if he's still alive, he won't affect any of our decisions and plans." Borg looked at everyone with a relaxed expression, and said, "I once sparred with him, and I only used 80% of my power to tie with him due to Irina. He was severely wounded three years ago, but he didn't die, so he's most likely not as powerful as he was back then. He's just a paper tiger."
"Master Borg is the War God of our elven race, and that Alex is only a human in his thirties; there's no way he can compare with Master Borg."
"So Master Borg was purposely going easy on him back then, allowing him to strut around with his invincible title for so many years. That guy really is shameless."
All of the elves' eyes lit up, and they began to praise Borg. However, there were also a few elves who had doubts in their eyes.
"Didn't Borg use his full power during that battle? But Alex was clearly the one who was more relaxed at the time … "Elliot was looking at Borg with a confused expression. He was one of the bystanders who had witnessed the battle between Borg and Alex. Alex's power had left a deep impression on him, and he was even a little perplexed as to why that battle had ended in a draw.
Vincent, the leader of the Baibilly Family, also had a hint of doubt in his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged as he praised Borg along with all of the other elves.
Borg raised a hand to silence everyone before turning to everyone, and said in a grim voice, "Schubert and Colby were killed by Irina for no reason at all. Even though she's the princess of the elven race, the Goddess of Life will definitely condemn her for taking the lives of her brethren with such brutality. I've decided to propose to the panel of elders that Irina be deposed from her position as princess during the ceremony in three days, and that she pay the price for her actions. "
The entire hall fell silent for a while before an elf raised his arm and yelled, "Depose Irina from her position as princess! Avenge Schubert and Colby! "
"Depose Irina from her position as princess!"
"We're going to vote for this at the panel of elders!"
All of the other elves also raised their hands and yelled with frenzied expressions in their eyes. Depose Irina from her position as princess, then depose her as princess, and they would finally be able to put an end to this period of unrest.
Elliot remained silent the entire time. He looked at the elves in the palace, who were all in a frenzy, with a complicated expression on his face.
These elves had absolute authority in their respective families. Their decisions meant their families' decisions. An event that could shake the entire elven race was about to happen.
He couldn't tell if this was a good or bad time for the elves. If Irina was removed from her position as the princess, and Borg didn't want to become the king of the elves, then Sally would very likely become the new elven princess, which was a good thing for the Brewster Family.
However, Elliot didn't think that the Brewster Family would rise to the top of The Wind Forest because of this. Since Borg was able to cripple Irina, who had the support of the elven queen, even if Sally became the elven princess or even the elven queen, she would still have to live under Borg's shadow or become a puppet.
Furthermore, what made him uneasy was the news he received this morning. If that news was confirmed, the Brewster Family would be facing an unprecedented crisis.
Vincent, who was standing diagonally across from Elliot, glanced at the troubled Elliot, and a hint of gloominess flashed through his eyes. However, he quickly hid it and joined the frenzied elves again.
Borg said in a deep voice, "Apart from Irina, I heard that it was two other elves who ambushed the mercenary squad that day. If they're traitors, find them and kill them. If they're in The Wind Forest, find them and show everyone the price they have to pay for helping traitors like Irina!"
"Burn them!"
All of the elves chimed in.
A hint of surprise flashed through Elliot's and Vincent's eyes, but they quickly hid it.
There weren't many elves in attendance, and the gathering didn't last long. After receiving verbal promises from all of the elves, Borg announced the end of the gathering and left the palace. All of the elves also left through the back door, so they didn't attract any attention.
Borg walked out of the palace, and walked along the corridor toward the backyard.
Boris Celt quickly followed along beside Borg, and an excited expression appeared on his face as he said, "Father, did you really only use 80% of your power to tie with Alex during that battle? Has your power already exceeded that of the queen? Or perhaps even the entire Norland Continent? "
As the leader of the Celt Family, Boris had always been known to be a calm and collected person. However, he was unable to remain calm at this moment. If Irina were to be deposed, then the elven race would lose a candidate to become the next queen.
If Borg was already more powerful than the queen and received the support of the majority of the major families, then he could become the first male elven king in the history of the elven race.
As Borg's eldest son and the leader of the Celt Family, Boris was a 9th-tier magic caster, so there was a very good chance that he would become the next elven king.
Borg didn't slow down as he said in a cold voice, "I encountered Benson many years ago, and was almost dragged into the void by his Eye Beast."
Boris' footsteps faltered upon hearing this, and his expression instantly stiffened.
Borg had almost been killed by Benson, and two days ago, Benson had been slain by Alex in Rodu.
A chill and horror descended upon Boris' head at the same time, and all of the beautiful dreams that he had just envisioned were instantly shattered.
Borg had lied to all of the elves, claiming that during his battle with Alex, Alex had most likely only used 80% of his power to tie with him.
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Boris came to his senses, and hurriedly caught up to Borg with a panicked expression as he said, "Father, if we attack Princess Irina and Alex comes to find us, what should we do?"
Borg suddenly stopped in his tracks, and looked into Boris' panicked eyes as he said in a grim voice, "Would you be willing to give up everything you have now and return to that cramped treehouse where you hunt and gather wild fruits every day?"
Boris faltered upon hearing this. He looked at Borg's deep gaze and the majestic buildings around him, and he shook his head without any hesitation. However, he was still a little hesitant as he said, "But …"
Borg cut him off with a cold smile as he said, "Irina wants to overthrow the entire system, and everything that you're currently enjoying comes from this system. If she doesn't get rid of you, you could be the next one to die, and you'll never be able to ascend to the highest throne."
"I may not have been able to defeat Alex four years ago, but now …" Borg extended his right hand, and a ball of greyish-white flames erupted from his palm, emanating a bone-chilling aura of death that struck fear into the hearts of onlookers.
