In the Angel Castle hall, the spiritual clone of Elara almost collapsed because of fear. She took a lot of effort to stabilize herself. She looked at Haru with an ugly expression and said, "We don't expect the war to happen, and our Elf Tribe has lived in the Dark Forest for hundreds of years. How can we just leave?" At this moment, she was panicking inside, but her expression was still calm.
Haru said, "Then surrender! I promise you that I will treat the elves of your tribe well and won't treat them as cannon fodder on the battlefield."
"This…" Elara whispered, "The Elf Tribe is loyal to Her Majesty!" Elf Empire was one of the powerful empires in the center of the Endless Continent. A long time ago, before the Ancient Divine War, the Nature Elves were also believers and believed in the Elven Goddess.
Later on, when the battle of gods ended, all the Gods of Faith left the Endless Continent. The dimensional demons invaded the world. Thousands of races all suffered under their attacks. In the end, the thousands of races united to drive the dimensional demons out of the Endless Continent.
The Elf Empire was also built in that chaotic era. The Nature Elves, who have lost their faith, became loyal to the Queen of the Elf Empire. Until now, the Elf Empire was so powerful that it could threaten any faction in the entire Endless Continent. The Nature Elves were also spread around the world.
All the Nature Elves respected the Queen. Many of the Elf Tribes had never come into contact with the central region, and the Elves of those tribes have never seen Her Majesty in the Elf Empire. However, they remained loyal. The noble bloodline made the Nature Elves look down on everything. Even if they were dragons, they could only look at each other equally. Apart from Her Majesty, the Elf Queen, no one could gain their loyalty.
Haru said, "This is not working, that is not working, what do you think I should do?"
Elara gritted her teeth and said, "Peaceful coexistence!" In her eyes, there was sincerity and hope. The main reason she expected to live together peacefully was that she was frightened. Her true body could easily sense that there was a terrifying power locked onto her. Once the owner of the power was angry, she would instantly disappear, and the probability of escaping was very low.
She was the strongest Elf in the Elf Tribe. She was a late-stage Saint Tier powerhouse. How terrifying was the power that could threaten to kill her instantly? If this power could reach her tribe, none of the Elves in the tribe would survive.
Even their mother tree, which had the power of the Saint Tier, would not be able to protect the Elves. Elara desperately wanted to be able to live in peace with Haru and with the Angel Castle. They did not want disaster to fall on their Elf Tribe.
Haru said, "You only have two choices. Peaceful coexistence isn't one of them!"
Elara said, "The empires in the central region rule the surface, dark creatures manage the underground, and the entire world is peaceful. Why must there be war?"
Haru replied, "This is our destiny!"
Billions of Castle Lords descended upon this world, recruiting soldiers, killing enemies, leveling up, participating in the battle for supremacy, and pursuing immortality. Isn't that destiny? Which Castle Lord would give up the war and coexist peacefully with the local forces? Even if there were a few, those Castle Lords would never live long.
Not to mention that most of the local forces would not let them off, even if the castle forces would ignore them, they would take the initiative to attack and eliminate the Castle Lords.
The only way to get out of the war is to give up the status of Castle Lord and become a free Ranger. After becoming a Ranger, one could travel around the world. Of course, even a Ranger still carried the aura of another world and would be attacked by a native creature. Therefore, there was no peaceful coexistence between the castle forces and the local forces.
Seeing that Haru did not back down, Elara could only make a big move. She glared at Haru angrily and said, "If my Elf Tribe is destroyed by you, the Great Queen will never let you go. As long as they send an imperial army, they will sweep the entire Dark Forest. In this forest, all the Castle Lords, including you, will become the victims of the war!"
The only thing she could rely on now was the Elf Empire behind the tribe. She tried to use Her Majesty's deterrence to force Haru to back down. Hearing this, Haru could not help but be silent. The power of the Elf Empire was still terrifying. In the World Chat Channel, he had seen a lot of Castle Lords mentioning the Elf Empire.
He also knew that this was an empire that was extremely powerful in the center of the Endless Continent. If Elf Empire wanted to sweep through the Dark Forest, it would be easy for them. Not to mention the castle forces in the Dark Forest, even the local forces would not be able to resist the invasion.
After a moment of silence, Haru looked at Elara and said, "You have a third choice! The tribe's Elves will be slaughtered by me, and the few that survive will become the slaves of my Angel Castle!" The threat from Elara made Haru even more radical.
In his eyes, the Elf Empire was very strong, not something that the current Angel Castle could contend against but he didn't believe Elara's bluff. It was unrealistic for Elf Empire to send an army to attack the Dark Forest. Therefore, Haru did not take Elara's threat to heart. Instead, he took it a step further and threatened her.
"You!!" Elara's eyes widened. The word slave made her furious. The Elves were born beautiful and had a long lifespan. They were also a highly intelligent race, so some merchants and adventurers from the human empires would risk their lives to capture the Elves and sell them to the human nobles as slaves.
