Upon these words, some were joyous while others were anxious, but most were more concerned about the people Yang Yu mentioned who persecuted the Elf Clan.
Queen Ailena, as if she saw through their thoughts, continued to speak:
"The reason for starting the war is quite simple.
It is the Slave Hunters from the Luoze Empire who have invaded the Elf Forest and endangered our safety, and they did it deliberately.
This situation will continue in the future. If we do not come together to resist, many more of our kin will go missing.
They have indeed affected our survival.
At this point, we can no longer turn a blind eye..."
Ailena delivered an impassioned speech in the square, which she and Yang Yu had previously orchestrated as a political show.
By directing all the blame toward the war-initiating Luoze Empire, she deepened the elves' hatred for the Luoze Empire and made them more receptive to the decision to engage in the war.
