Chapter 1987: 24.248 Sixth Violet Star - Dwarf Prince
With the royal decree announced in the beastmen tribe, those who were used to coming near the wooden walls were now lessened by half. They used to wander near the walls trying to pick up something from beyond the wall. Before, sounds from the other side of the wall can still be heard by lingering near the walls surrounding the Ancient Forest. But things had completely turned quiet after the barrier was enhanced by someone under the request of the Prophet and guardian.
Ever since the barrier had been modified, the whole Ancient Forest had become quiet. However, the chaos within the alliance city had not lessened by worsened instead. During this ordeal the Beastmen race had completely detached themselves from the outside world beyond the wooden walls. At least, aside from the higher up, no one else knows what is happening in the city after the lockdown.
That is of course until there is also some news about the city beyond their walls but only the higher up had heard about this. It finally reached the ears of Prophet Heri and Guardian Lord Vega that the Dwarf King Garan is unexpectedly alive.
At the meeting place within the Ancient forest...
Guardian of the Ancient Forest, Lord Vega, who is also the former elf king had spoken. It can be said that now with the whole forest isolated from what is happening in the alliance city was being painted as a selfish race by the new Marshal, Gu Ying. He had intentionally pretended to be a savior of the human race when the whole alliance had been broken.
With the elven race going insane under the command of their current elf king and the dwarf race attacking the former, the human race who was caught in between had suffered the most. As for the beastmen race, they had made a move to take back all of their people before shutting themselves beyond those towering wooden walls. Because they had locked themselves instead, the humans who had suffered the most, felt enraged by the beastmen race’s self preservation.
There is also the Elven race egging from the side while the dwarven race after suffering some defeats had also locked down their location. They had hidden the news of their king being alive and secretly sought the help of the beastmen race. Clearly, the dwarven race was so sure that the culprit was the new marshal and that the elf race was being controlled by this man.
Moreover, under the control of this person, the whole alliance city had fallen under his grasp. It was so dangerous that the Dwarven Race was almost extinct every time they tried to reach out to the beastmen race for help. However, this time with the use of their new artifacts that not only hide their presence and had an invisibility effect that they were able to contact someone from inside the ancient forest. It was for this reason alone that the certain meeting is now taking place at this moment.
Lord Vega said, "A messenger from the Dwarven Race had arrived. He comes from the outside. Only when ’he’ had approved that this man is not in anyone’s control would I let him in. He will tell us everything that is happening beyond the walls."
"Get in!"
Under the command of the former elf king, Lord Vega, a malnourished elf had entered the room. The beastmen elders were surprised to see such a state as this means that the situation beyond the walls was worse than they imagined. The dwarf appeared to the prophet, Lord Vega and the beastmen elders and saluted.
"Thank you for letting me inside of your territory. I am Gallian, the youngest son of Dwarf King Garan. It’s a pleasure to meet everyone."
However, before they can react the Dwarf Prince had suddenly fallen on his knees with a humble action, he pleads for the help of the beastmen race.
"I beg everyone in the room. Please save my father, my sister and our whole race! We can barely survive under the attacks of both the elven race and the human race," said Dwarf Prince Gallian.
No one had expected these two races: the human race and the elven race to work together just to bring down the dwarf race. Especially since the dwarf race is mostly the closest allies of the elves who would have thought they would become enemies in the end.
Lord Vega, as a former king himself, knew that things aren’t as simple as it was portrayed by this young dwarf prince.
He said, "Tell us everything that you know. What is happening within the city? Why is the dwarf king who was said to be dead to be alive? Down to the very detail you can remember. It will depend on the information you give us whether we will help your race or not."
"Take a seat. You can take your time to think," Prophet Heri said.
After a while the young dwarf prince had taken his seat. A cup of calming tea was given to him which he had drank regardless of whether it was too hot or not. There is no problem with heat as most dwarfs are heat resistant.
"Everything had started on the last meeting after the farce in front of your race’s territory had been led by the new marshal, Gu Ying."
"At that time, the meeting was supposed to have only the rulers invited. Because of this requirement no one had been invited from the beastmen race. It was said that the organizer of this meeting is none other than Marshal Gu Ying."
"According to our king, the Elf King going insane is all because he had fallen under the control of the new marshal. Father King said that this marshal is using some strange beast. It no longer looked like a beast but some kind of monster that evolved from a beast."
"It had an ability to control beings and father wasn’t affected because of the anti-curse effect of the artifact he had brought with him that day. However, as if the Marshal had expected it, he had commanded the controlled Elf king to kill him. He was slashed unhesitantly and was left in their meeting room to die on his own. What they didn’t know was that my father had an artifact with absolute defense and illusion that made the Elf King and Marshal Gu Ying himself think that he was dead."
"Of course, even if he had some artifact with him the wound on him cannot be said to be deadly but it was fatal. In anger the dwarfs had attacked the elven race even before Father King had woken up which lead to them being killed by the elven race."
"The whole Elven Race is now under the complete control of Marshal Gu Ying."
"There are a lot of traitors that come out in this chaos. Some people from the noble family of the human race, an elder of our dwarf race and the right hand man of the elven race’s king. There are more of them and the worst of all, was Marshal Gu Ying. He is most likely the one leading these traitors."
"What made it worse is that he had pretended to save the rest of the humans in the city acting like a king himself. They had been preventing our race from reaching out to your race multiple times. It was only when a new artifact was made that is capable of invisibility and blocking my presence that I will most likely be unable to be caught by those people."
"Please help us! Our race is on the brink of extinction. They wanted to exterminate all of us and even capture my sister trying to bait us out. Also..."
The dwarf prince, Gallian, turns his head to look at the former elf king, Lord Vega.
Lord Vega asked, "What is it?"
"A high elf had approached our race. Saying that if we had successfully asked for help with the beastmen, to inform Lord Vega. We had always had one king and that their king was never Elf King Valerian but... Lord Vega, it was you." Dwarf Prince Gallian said.
Lord Vega said, "I am an exiled one. I am no longer the king of the elves or had no relationship with them,"
Everyone couldn’t help but look at Lord Vega who remained expressionless at the words of the youngest prince of the dwarfs as if whatever happening in the elven race had nothing to do with him, Lord Vega. Only Prophet Heri whose hand was held by his mate, Lord Vega, knew what truly his beloved was feeling right now.
After a while, Lord Vega asked, "What is the name of that elf whom you spoke with?"
"AH? He called himself, Vera," answered the Dwarf Prince.
High elf Vera. He is the Lord Vega’s former right hand man and the only elf in the Elf Village who had helped him and Heri to leave the Elven Territory that day. After helping them, Vera was punished by being locked in a water dungeon. All long Lord Vega thought that he had longed to die as he had never found him every time he had sneaked into the territory of the elves.
The former elf king, Lord Vega mumbles, "Vera? He is still alive!?"
