His life was in the hands of the other party, so he had to bow his head. Even though he knew that asking would an giving up the initiative, did the elf still have the initiative now?
Acting Speaker Morens could only ask: "What are the conditions?"
Ilucia smiled extrely brightly, her smile was like thousands of flowers blooming at the sa ti, but the content of her words made every elf extrely embarrassed, and their faces were covered with sha and anger, because she said: "Please roll out the red carpet from Farstrider Square to the Sunfury Tower. At the sa ti, from the square to the Sunstrider Court, and then to the Sunfury Tower, all the main gates are open! Welco my teacher!"
The Speaker almost bit off his tongue.
Even human kings have never received such treatnt. In the entire history of Silver Moon City, there have only been two such grand welco ceremonies.
One was the first entry ceremony after Silvermoon City was built. Thousands of elves welcod the first Elf King Dath'Remar Sunstrider with flowers and cheers. This was to celebrate that he finally led the people to successfully establish a country in this strange land.
The other ti was after Silvermoon City won the war against the trolls, when it held a triumphal ceremony for Anasterian Sunstrider, the supre hero in the hearts of the people at that ti.
Such a grand welcoming ceremony would never be held for any outsider by the proud elves. Now that Ilucia had proposed it.
Morens scread on the spot.
"This is impossible! Why does Edmund deserve such grand treatnt?"
"Why? Because the teacher is the hero who can kill the most Horde in the whole world of Azeroth. Fifty thousand in Elwynn Forest. One hundred thousand in Stormwind City. One hundred thousand in the first battle of Southshore. One hundred thousand in the Battle of Paladin! One hundred thousand in the second battle of Southshore, and fifty thousand in the battle of Arathi Highlands! Humph! A full five hundred thousand Horde were kicked into hell by the teacher to repent for their sins. Isn't that enough?"
Ilucia held her head high and proudly puffed out her chest. If just now she only gave people the feeling of a lady from a noble family, now she was a divine ssenger who was high above and looked down upon all living beings.
Admittedly, this record is more or less exaggerated.
It is an indisputable fact that Duke personally commanded these major battles as the deputy commander of the alliance, and it is not wrong to attribute all the achievents to Duke.
The enemy's enemy is my hero.
Judging from the number of beasts killed alone, Duke deserves this honor.
Morens was speechless for a mont, and finally spoke after a long ti: "The high elves have no precedent of opening the gates of the Sunstrider's Court for foreign heroes."
"Then there's nothing to talk about!" Ilucia said firmly.
What she did was not the kind of negotiation she would do when buying vegetables at the market: "Will you lower the price? If you don't bargain, I'll leave."
Ilucia responded to Morens with a teasing sneer, and turned around gorgeously, with her long hair flying in the air and making a beautiful arc. Then, without moving her shoulders, she walked out of the hall gracefully and firmly.
Clean, decisive, and without leaving any room for ambiguity.
Acting Speaker Morens, who had experienced countless negotiations, was dumbfounded. He wanted to believe that Ilucia was just pretending. But judging from Ilucia's heartbeat, breath, and facial expressions, Ilucia was... gloating!
He guessed right. All the councillors in the hall, the Sun King, and Prince Kael'thas all guessed right.
Ilucia and Duke behind her really don't care about the life and death of the elves.
Duke's last instructions echoed in Ilucia's mind: "The only ones I care about are the Windrunner sisters. Not because of personal relationships, but because of the special value they possess. As for the elves...if they are still so arrogant and look down on others when their city is about to be destroyed and their tribe is about to be exterminated, then let them drown with their ridiculous arrogance!"
The high elves were exterminated because of their evil deeds. What does this have to do with her, Ilucia?
After Duke announced that they could win the battle without any elves, Ilucia beca more confident.
This is not a political tactic, but a true indifference.
One step, two steps... ten steps... twenty steps...
With every step Ilucia took, the sound of her light yet graceful footsteps made the congressn's hearts sink.
The situation seed to have returned to the mont 2,800 years ago when the elves were about to be exterminated.
Humans can live without elves.
But the elves cannot live without the help of humans.
After two consecutive defeats, with the Horde at the gates of the city, the High Elves are no longer the transcendent race that can keep themselves safe and watch other races fight to the death from a high position.
A phoenix that falls to the ground is no better than a chicken!
Now Quel'Thalas is that chicken.
Alleria, who had the best relationship with Duke, was disheartened and responded coldly to the congressn's indirect questions.
The public Road will soon be blocked. It would be strange if the legislators were not anxious.
The Sunstrider royal family, who should have been the most restless, were determined to sacrifice Silvermoon City with it. The Sun King and Kael'thas both had dead looks on their faces.
The congressn were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
If there is absolute evidence to prove that Alleria is Duke's woman, those congressn might be able to do things like kidnapping and blackmailing her.
But that's just a thought.
No matter how weak the Windrunner family is, they are still the boss among the rangers. If we attack Alleria now, will all the most useful rangers in the city defense battle rebel?
Before she knew it, Ilucia had reached the door of the hall. She said calmly, "Please open the portal array outside the council hall. I will leave now and go back to my teacher."
The captain of the guards standing at the door was in a state of distress. He could not say a word after a long while of holding back.
At this mont, all the parliantarians in the hall cast murderous glances at Morens. If glances were swords, Morens would have been stabbed countless tis and fell in a pool of blood.
Taking a final look at the Sun King who was determined to die for his country, Morens knew that if he let Ilucia go, he would definitely not live to see the sunrise tomorrow. As soon as it got dark, he would be chopped into pieces and thrown out of the city by a catapult to feed the ogres.
"Lady Barov, please stay! The Silvermoon Council... is willing to initiate a motion to request His Majesty the Sun King Anasterian Sunstrider to agree to open the main gate of the Sunstrider Court and welco the arrival of the Alliance hero Edmund Duke. mbers of parliant, please raise your hands if you agree to this motion." the speaker stared at the mbers behind him fiercely.
Well, you bastards are forcing to lose face, right? Let's lose face together, and I'll deal with whoever disagrees first! ?
What's the result?
Of course it was passed unanimously.
Sun King Anasterian finally opened his cloudy eyes: "Since it is a formal motion of the Silvermoon Council, for the continuation of Quel'Thalas, I agree."
Well, the biggest hurdle has been cleared.
With a look of victory, Ilucia connected the magic communication with Duke and inford him of what happened here.
Unexpectedly, Duke's words choked all the elves in the audience.
"Negotiation? I don't have ti!"
