Armipotent
chapter-652

Crown Prince Virion separated with Lusha and her team. He and the three Elven hostages immediately went back to Elven's territory. They traveled within the maximum since the hostages were fine. They did not suffer any forms of torture and were not starved either, so Virion just went back at full speed.

As soon as he returned, The Elven King and the nine Elders were waiting for him. The Elven King Revalor noticed that Aleesa was not his son, and the hostages returned safely. It was clear that The Emperor accepted their conditions, and Aleesa immediately stayed with The Emperor.

Revalor was not surprised by that since Aleesa was the prettiest even amongst the Elven. The human Emperor must get captivated by her and agreed with the condition, why Aleesa volunteered by herself. Because she knew that her charm was irresistible. If it was a spoiled Elven Princess, there was a chance that the Human Emperor would refuse the condition.

However, if their conditions were accepted, that meant the Guardian Beast Kirin was following the Human Emperor, and the Green Sky Serpent was dead. That was bad for sure, meaning they did not have any other choices but the Empire's vassal.

"You three go to Orina's house for a further check-up!" King Revalor ordered the three hostages to go before looking at his son. "Virion! You follow me to the assembly house!" After saying that, The Elven King turned around and headed toward a direction. The nine elders followed the Elven King, and Virion followed from the back.

Even though they named it Assembly House, it was just a simple and small house. A house with only a long table with eleven seats. The Elven King sat at the honored seat while the Elven Elders took the remaining seat. There was one empty seat, and it was supposed to be the youngest Elder's seat, Aleesa.

The atmosphere in the room was quite grim as the nine Elders gazed at The Crown Prince with an intense gaze. Crown Prince Virion was standing at the other side of the table, facing The Elven King.

The Elven King raised his head and met with his son's eyes. "So, have you confirmed everything? We want to hear the report, Crown Prince Virion!" Revalor's dignified voice broke the silence.

"Yes, I have confirmed The Guardian Beast Kirin is real, and I have met her. I also heard from Kalliyan directly that Sir Suvan is dead, and Emperor Tang killed him." The Crown Prince reported. The Elven King was not surprised by this, but the Nine Elders were surprised by this. That was because The Elders did not believe that The Guardian Beast followed a human.

"Emperor Tang? Is that his name?" The Elve King asked. The Crown Prince nodded his head. "Sir Alton told me The Emperor's name, and his name is Lord Tang Shaoyang." By saying that, The Crown Prince also told the Elven King and the nine Elders that Alton had surrendered to The Tang Empire.

The nine Elders seemed to have a hard time believing the report. They looked at each other as murmurs broke out amongst them. The Elven King tapped the table. "Stop with the chatter. Let Crown Prince Virion finish his report. If you have something to ask, then ask! Don't be like kids, talking by yourself when we are in the Assembly House!"

The nine Elders quieted down after that. Virion also paused his report, scanning the nine Elders if they had anything to ask him. After a while, one of the Elders raised his hand. "What about the angel? Did you see the angel that Kaylin talked about, Crown Prince Virion?" This Elder was sitting close to The Elven King.

Virion shook his head. "Unfortunately, I did not see the angel with black-feather wings. However, I saw a beastmen that I had never seen before. I believe that beastmen does not exist in Gigante Forest." The Crown Prince continued with Maldros' characteristics.

The nine Elders looked at each other. After hearing the Dragonewt's description, they also could not figure out the creature. Just like Virion said, it was not something that existed in Gigante Forest. The nine Elders looked toward The Elven King, hoping that their King knew something about this creature.

"Something that can be summoned at will and disappeared at will. I think that creature is The Emperor's summon, not the resident of the forest." King Revalor shared his thoughts. "However, I indeed never see something like that. Maybe that creature is related to a dragon, or maybe a dragon's descendant just like Kalliyan."

The Elven King took a deep breath and closed his eyes as he leaned back against the chair. For some reason, he was relieved that he chose not to fight The Tang Empire. The nine Elders looked at each other again when they heard the explanation. A silence followed up after that as they thought about the Elven King's explanation.

It was a logical explanation, but that also meant bad news for them. If The Emperor could summon creatures, they could not measure how strong The Emperor was. How many creatures could he summon? How strong were they? This also meant it would be hard for The Elven to break free from The Empire.

Yes, Elven never planned to be The Empire's Vassal forever, and it was unacceptable for Elven. Figuring out how strong the enemy was and trying to find a way to get their freedom back; that was initially their plan.

The Elven King waved his hand at Crown Prince Virion. "Please continue your report."

"Yes." Virion nodded and continued with his report. He told them about the military position first.

"So, do you say that he will only appoint you to be Vice-Legion Commander even though you are Elven's future king? This is unacceptable!" One of the Elder slammed the table hard as he raised his voice. The Elder did not call Tang Shaoyang with lord but he. It was clear that he had not accepted Tang Shaoyang as their leader yet.

"Yes, and I think it's reasonable since I am weaker than Sir Alton and Chief Moon." Virion replied with a nod.
