Their lives were in the other party's hands, and they had to bow their heads. Even if they knew that taking the initiative to ask was handing over the initiative, did the elves still have the initiative to speak of?
Morlens could only ask on behalf of Speaker, "What conditions?"
Illucia smiled brilliantly, her smile like thousands of flowers blooming at the same time, but the content of her words embarrassed every elf to the extreme. Their faces were covered with shame and anger, because she said, "Please spread the red carpet from the Traveler's Square all the way to the Tower of Sunfury. At the same time, open all the main doors from the square to the Sunchasing King Court, and then to the Tower of Sunfury! Welcome my teacher! "
The Speaker almost bit his tongue off.
Even the human kings had never received such treatment. There had only been two such grand welcoming ceremonies in the entire history of Silverymoon.
One was the first entry ceremony after Silverymoon was built. Thousands of elves welcomed the first Elven King, Dahrema Sunstrider, with flowers and cheers. This was to celebrate his success in finally leading the people to establish a country in this strange land.
The other was after the victory over the trolls, when Silverymoon held a triumphant ceremony for Anastrian Sunstrider, the highest hero in the hearts of the people at that time.
Such a grand welcoming ceremony, the proud elves would never hold such a grand ceremony for any outsider. Now that Illucia mentioned it.
Morlens screamed on the spot.
"This is impossible! What right does Marcus have to enjoy such a grand treatment? "
"Why? Teacher is the hero of the World of Azeroth who can kill the tribes the most. Fifty thousand in the Elven Forest. One hundred thousand in Stormwind City. One hundred thousand in the first Battle of Southshore. One hundred thousand in the Battle of Paladin. One hundred thousand in the second Battle of Southshore. Fifty thousand in the Battle of Arathi Highlands! Hmph! A total of five hundred thousand tribes were kicked into hell by Teacher to repent for their sins. Isn't that enough? "
Illucia proudly raised her head. If she only gave people the feeling of a lady just now, now she was a high and mighty god overlooking all life.
Admittedly, this battle record was more or less exaggerated.
It was an indisputable fact that Duque personally commanded these battles as the Alliance's Deputy Commander, and it was not wrong to put the battle record on Duque's head.
The enemy's enemy is my hero.
Just based on the number of beasts killed, Duque was worthy of this courtesy.
Morlens was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he said, "The High Elves have never opened the gate of the Sunstrider Royal Court for a foreign hero."
"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Illucia said firmly.
What she was doing was not the kind of "Are you going to lower the price or not?" like buying vegetables in the market. If you don't bargain, I'll leave. 'It was obviously a pretentious negotiation method.
Illucia responded to Morlens with a mocking sneer. She turned around elegantly, her long hair flying in the air in a beautiful arc. Then, without moving her shoulders, she strode out of the hall gracefully and firmly.
Clean, efficient, and without any leeway.
Chairman Morlens, who had been through countless negotiations, was dumbfounded. He really wanted to believe that Illusia was faking it. But no matter from Iluxia's heartbeat, breath, or expression, Iluxia was … taking pleasure in others' misfortune!
He was right. All the councilors in the hall, the Sun King, and Prince Kael 'thas had guessed correctly.
Illucia and Duque, who was behind her, really did not care about the life and death of the elves.
Duque's last command echoed in Illucia's mind. "The only thing I care about is the Windrunner sisters. Not because of personal relationships, but because of the special value they possess. As for the elves … If they are still so arrogant and look down on others at the moment when their city is about to be destroyed, then let them drown with their ridiculous arrogance! "
What did the High Elves' extinction have to do with Illucia?
After Duque announced that they could win this battle without the elves, Illucia was even more confident.
This was not a political tactic, but a true sense of indifference.
One step, two steps … ten steps … twenty steps …
With every step Illucia took, her light and graceful footsteps made the hearts of the councilors sink.
The situation seemed to have returned to 2,800 years ago, when the elves were about to be wiped out.
Humans could live without the elves.
But the elves could not live without the help of humans.
After losing two battles in a row, and with the Horde at their gates, the High Elves were no longer the transcendent race that could sit on their own side and watch the other races fight to the death.
A fallen phoenix was no better than a chicken!
Now, Cuel Salas was that chicken.
Aurelia, who had the best relationship with Duque, was disheartened. The councilors' attempts to get her out of the way were met with indifference.
The way to make it public was about to be blocked. It would be strange if the councilors were not anxious.
The Sunstrider royal family, who should have been the most restless, was determined to bury Silvermoon City with them. The Sun King and Kael 'thas both had a dead look on their faces.
The councilors were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
If there was absolute evidence that Aurelia was Duque's woman, perhaps the councilors would even do something like kidnapping and blackmailing.
But that was just wishful thinking.
No matter how weak the Windrunner family was, they were still the leader of the Rangers. If they made a move on Aurelia now, wouldn't all the most useful Rangers in the defense of the city turn traitor?
Unknowingly, Illucia had already walked to the door of the hall. She said calmly, "Please open the teleportation circle outside the council hall. I will leave now and return to my teacher."
The guard captain at the door was in a dilemma. He did not know whether to agree or not. He could not say a single word for a long time.
At this moment, all the councilors in the hall cast their murderous gazes on Morlens. If gazes were swords, Morlens would have been stabbed countless times and lying in a pool of blood.
Taking one last look at the Sun King, who was determined to die for his country, Morlens knew that if he let Illucia go, he would not live to see tomorrow's morning sun. Once it was dark, he would be cut into pieces and thrown out of the city to be fed to the ogres.
"Miss Barov, please stay! The Silvermoon Council … is willing to initiate a motion to request the Sun King, Anastrian Sunstrider, to agree to open the main gate of the Sunstrider Court and welcome the arrival of the Alliance's hero, His Excellency Duke Marcus. Councilors, those who agree with this motion, please raise your hand. "Morlens stared fiercely at the councilors behind him.
Alright, you bastards are forcing me to lose face, aren't you? If you want to lose face, I'll lose it together. I'll deal with whoever disagrees first!?
What was the result?
Of course, it was unanimously approved.
The Sun King, Anastrian, finally opened his murky eyes. "Since this is an official motion of the Silvermoon Council, for the continuation of Cuel Salas, I agree."
Alright, the biggest obstacle had been cleared.
With a victorious expression on her face, Ilusia connected to Duke's magical communication and informed him of what had happened here.
Unexpectedly, Duque's words choked all the elves present.
"Negotiation? I'm not free! "
