Chapter 220 - Prepare An Answer
As the Princess moved, she kept harnessing more and more holy power.
"Princess!" Tathar shouted as he approached.
The teleportation pads suddenly lit up with a darker color. Commander Stain knew that the lights meant that the kingdom that was arriving was using a darker energy source. The Orcs used darker energy, but the energy that erupted was so dark that it had clear malevolent energy that surpassed the orcs.
Stain was shocked and noticed that his retainers were rushing towards the Princess, who was holding a Holy Sword full of energy.
The warp pad exploded in darkness, and in the middle of the pad were several figures.
Stain was stunned. The power of this warp pad was so strong. The energy that was used far exceeded the known limits within the Lowlands..
"Which kingdom is that?!" Finally, one of the retainers realized the power and asked Stain.
"We invited all kingdoms in the Lowlands! I don't know." Stain answered.
"Princess! You aren't allowed to kill any Lowland creatures without any reason!"
"I don't think I can kill this one. So this is just a greeting. Things just got interesting." The Princess suddenly jumped up as the Holy energy gathered in her sword, increasing the sword's size.
As the teleportation pad completed its teleportation, several Necromancers and Skeletons appeared, and a small, frail, and weak-looking girl stood among them.
"Hello, Lea." The Princess delivered the mighty slash she prepared.
The Necromancers, Vampires, and Skeletons were shocked and began to harness their power to block it.
BOOM!
The power of one of the Necromancers was a Commander, yet he was being forced back from the great power.
The frail, looking girl had a disappointed expression.
"And here I thought I wouldn't be found out. Hello Princess Listrel." The young woman smiled as a strange power exploded out. The avatar of her true form was showing behind the group of Dark cultivators.
"A Grendelor...!" Merik was stunned.
"That's the daughter of Necron Olethros!"
"King of the Netherworld!" Stain recognized the name.
The powers of Light and Darkness fought and clashed until both energies pushed back against each other.
The Princess called Listrel landed gracefully on the ground.
"See, Merick? It's not like I can kill her. Just like me, a severe limitation has been placed on our powers." Listrel smiled.
"I was hoping to infiltrate this land, Listrel. But you immediately saw through my power. I wonder how? Where did I go wrong?" Lea frowned.
"A human form, eh? You created an incarnation? It's quite tricky. Were you planning to infiltrate this place subtly? Well, it's no use. Even without my hand, war is close to breaking out here. This land is full of Fate and Destiny. Do you feel it, Lea? The call of the Mover? Every movement from that which Fate and Destiny are resounding to will change the destiny of this land."
"I have. And you still haven't answered my question, Listrel." The young girl frowned.
"Wish."
"You Wished to find me?"
"Yes. A great power source of the Light was used for that wish to be granted. And it seems it was quite useless. I can't kill you now. I never expected you to be so daring to come here. Especially with an Eldrich behind you." Listrel smiled and looked at an inconspicuous man behind Lea.
Stain trembled at her words.
"The report was true!" Stain recalled the news of how the orcs and Eldrich plotted to wage war in the Lowlands.
"You wished for that as well?" Lea frowned.
"I figured that either you or an Eldrich would appear. So I wished for either you or an Eldirch would be revealed. Hand me his head." Listrel smiled.
The Eldirch's expression turned sour.
"Of course." Lea suddenly swiped her arm.
The head of the Eldirch was quickly severed off.
"This one ticked me off. So I brought him here hoping he would die." Lea explained as she tossed the head to Listrel.
"Oh? Severing without any hesitation. You do know that any form of alliance between your race and the Eldrich will void all terms of the agreement."
"We are not allying ourselves with them. You could say we are neutral. They offered us something which my father generally considered to be of value in exchange for a constrained and nomadic life here in the Planesworld."
"Ah... A mutual trade. And your merciless shows make it difficult for me to report an alliance..." Listrel smiled.
"Your call, your majesty..." Lea laughed as she called Listrel with a mocking tone.
"It seems that this Summit isn't just an emergency meeting to welcome me. As you can see, the Princess of the Netherworld is here. Stain, change the discussion for all kingdoms. Announce that war is happening here! Set up the Rules of Engagement for the war."
"Princess! Our mission is to find that source!" Merick exclaimed.
"I am looking for the source. And since we have seen both Eldrich and Lea here, it shows that there is an upheaval in this place that is going beyond what we have seen or know about this place."
"My Lords... Her Majesty is correct... We have reports that the Eldrich has formed an alliance with the orcs! A Champion reported that a few of his retainers were captured. But these retainers were skilled in speaking orcish tongue. They spoke of a plot between the orcs and the Eldrich. Thus, a dark alliance was formed. Several Vampires were sent into the Lowlands, and we have found evidence of Necromancer worshipers in several kingdoms that served this Eldrich. This is the reason why Airom is on the brink of war."
Listrel smiled.
"Perfect. It seems that I do have reason to detain you, Lea! Did you not hear the claims of this Commander! He claims you knowingly allowed the Eldirch to start a war in the Lowlands!" Listrel twisted the words of the Commander.
Commander Stain was shocked at how Listrel was making him an excuse and a tossable scapegoat!
"A likely story. You must have felt it! A Dragon was born in the Airom! Of course, war will appear there! If they claim that an Eldrich alliance is formed, then they are lying through their teeth! Commander, tell me then, what nation from the Dark Sea is involved in this treason? The Eldrich that you see before you were with one kingdom among the hundreds of those. Do you have a name?" Lea laughed and challenged the Commander.
The Commander recalled that among the reports was the name of the dark-dependent kingdom. It was a kingdom that not even he of his power and upbringing knew of. Even their scholars and historians have only heard of its name and nothing more.
"Well? Care to tell me the name? That Eldirch has only been with this kingdom. If you can tell me what this kingdom is, then I will concede that what you claim to know is true. But you better prepare an answer." Lea smiled.
"If your answer is incorrect, then your accusation is false. And I will have your soul for that." Lea glared.
