Chapter 1429: G.o.d Of Life, Please Grant Me The Strength“Irina!”
The square was plunged into a silence instantly. All the elves looked at Irina, who suddenly appeared in the crown of the Tree of Life, with disbelief on their faces, and then paled immediately.
Sally looked up with surprise, but she soon went white as she recalled all the traps that Helena had already prepared in advance. She began to tense up.
The princess has indeed come… Blour looked at Irina, who was wearing white as usual, with a smile on his lips.
This was the Princess Irina that he knew. Even when the whole world knew this was a setup for her, she would still come as long as she believed in it.
She couldn"t sit back and watch the Night Elves being executed publicly, so she had appeared here.
Although it looked unreasonable, it was, in fact, very reasonable.
“Instead of living on in a silent degradation, isn"t it better to leave our names in history?” Blour whispered with his head tilted to one side.
Vincent"s pupils suddenly constricted, and his body tensed up uncontrollably. He looked at Blour"s profile, and then at Irina at the crown of the tree. He was silent for a moment before he suddenly smiled. “Very good.”
Blour turned his head to look at Vincent, and gravely said, “Father.”
“Mm-hmm.” Vincent only gave an acknowledgement in a low voice.
“d.a.m.ned Irina, you have come to destroy our affairs again.” Elliot watched Irina with his teeth tightly clenched. He waved his hand, and a few elves next to him quickly strode off.
The elves in the square were looking at Irina with fear and disgust, but there was a glow in many young elves" eyes. There was even a hint of fervor in them.
Irina, who was standing on the top of the tree, swept her gaze across Helena kneeling on the ground and those in the elves. She sarcastically said, “You dare call yourselves the G.o.d of Life"s sincere believers? Did the G.o.d of Life give you a revelation to enslave your own people or take the lives of your own people at will?”
Irina"s words reverberated clearly throughout the Life Square and beyond it, reaching the ears of those elves who were barred from the square and those Night Elves held in the metal cages.
Many elves lowered their heads in shame as they avoided Irina"s gaze.
There were also many elves who were staring at Irina as if she was a troublemaker who was trying to overthrow everything that they had.
“Princess Irina… has actually come?” The elves who were kept from entering the square were now looking at the top of the Tree of Life with shock. Although her ident.i.ty as the princess was removed, and she was even labeled as a traitor, in most elves" eyes, Irina still had an irreplaceable position.
Moreover, the Night Elves" declaration of freedom had indeed spread through the Wind Forest rapidly recently. Even though most of the elves were still keeping their distance from it, after hearing Irina"s words, they began to look at those elves locked in the cages with pity and sympathy.
“The princess is here!” The Night Elves who were locked in the metal cages finally had a change in their demeanor. They suddenly had a light in their eyes as they all looked toward the Tree of Life.
They had not been deserted. Even when it was extremely dangerous, the princess had still come.
Irina, this former princess, had appeared at the conferring ceremony of the new princess. Hence, how was this conferring ceremony going to proceed? This had become an issue that all the elves were very concerned about.
“Irina, you really came.” Helena got up slowly and looked up at Irina. There wasn"t any surprise in her gaze, but her expression was unusually cold.
“The whole world knew I was coming. Wouldn"t I have disappointed this world if I hadn"t appeared?” Irina gave a dazzling smile to Helena.
“Then you should know very well what is going to happen to you when you"ve come here.” Helena raised her hands, and complicated spell formations began to light up with the Tree of Life as their center. They formed many barriers that engulfed Irina and the Tree of Life within them.
The 10th-tier experts from the eight major families appeared at the boundary of spell formation with their weapons and magic caster"s staffs, and they were all looking at Irina nervously.
Even more advanced elven magic casters began to appear at the spell formations" boundary with their magic caster"s staffs, and aimed at Irina at the top of the Tree of Life with equally tense expressions.
The elven race had put up all their race"s power to deal with Irina. Such a battle array had never appeared in the elven race before, apart from the previous instance of the underground cavern"s siege.
All the elves looking at this scene were astonished by High Priestess Helena"s arrangement.
Could this conferring ceremony have been an ambush aimed at Irina right from the start?
Meanwhile, among the elves that were present, those young elves who were influenced by the idea of freedom began to tense up. They were interacting with their gazes in the midst of the chaos, attempting to do something.
Irina was looking at Helena with a relaxed expression and a sneer as she said, “Helena, you"re really feeling very confident in yourself. You have activated the entire race"s power to deal with me. Then, isn"t it a huge loss to the elves if you get rid of me? Aren"t you afraid the elven race will be shamed by your actions?”
Many elves lowered their magic caster"s staffs instinctively after they heard Irina"s words. There was a hint of shame in their address.
Those 10th-tier elves who were already very established also had s.h.i.+fty gazes. They had already lost all their face in the battle at the underground cavern. If the news of today"s ambush got out, they, the elven powerhouses, would be utterly disgraced on the continent.
“Moreover, how could you all be so confident that you can kill me?” Irina lifted her magic caster"s staff up with a smile, and the Tree of Life suddenly glowed brightly with green light. The branches that hung down gently began to slowly rise up, and then swirled around Irina"s feet like a green vortex. Green beams of light began to twirl around Irina as if they were adding on a green armor for her. They even formed a green crown on top of her head.
“Princess Irina!”
“Princess Irina is the real princess that is recognized by the G.o.d of Life!”
“Only freedom is the elves" faith and the revelation of the G.o.d of Life!”
The Night Elves in the cages shouted loudly with ferocity in their eyes.
“My people, cages and shackles couldn"t stop us from pursuing freedom. The G.o.d of Life blessed us with the abilities and talent to get close to nature. He gave us the Life Force to bring warmth to the world. I hope you all can find the real faith of Life and understand what freedom really is,” Irina said with a solemn expression before raising up her magic caster"s staff, and chanted, “G.o.d of Life, please grant me the strength to cleanse all the darkness and shackles, and let all your people regain freedom!”
