Bab 234: Chapter 185: Judgment Descends_1

Time ticked away.

Queen Airen stood on the high platform, her gaze on the fully armed elf guards below, silent. There was only one hour left for the countdown to the Tribunal; over these past days, the elves across Summer Island had been engaged in tireless debate. Some were frightened by the horror of the Tribunal and suggested further discussions with them.

However, most of the elves vehemently refused. Elves were a proud race; the High Elves believed they were the inheritors of the gods and were entitled to rule over this continent. And now, mere humans had the audacity to utter outrageous words before them?

Never surrender!

The pride of the elves would not allow them to yield, they would rather stand here and be annihilated along with the Summer Island, rather than bow their haughty heads to humans!

They'd rather die standing than live kneeling!

They would show these humans that an elf's pride and dignity could not be trampled upon!
