Chapter 156: The War Of Unification (End)

While Esmeralda was conversing with the royal family, a group of guards suddenly burst into the throne rooms with terrified expressions.

"The ruler of the land if lightning is coming here and she has ten top tier elves with her. And other than that..." The had of the guards began but trailed off.

"And what?" The king asked with a dark expression as the guard replied.

"They have four ambassadors with them and one of them is a head ambassador." The captain replied as the entire place fell silent.

'What the hell? Is Kai an ambassador in disguise who is trying to clean the realm of corruption? Maybe this is the time to use it to my advantage. 

"I told you." Esmeralda said to the king as he turned towards her with a grim expression and nodded.

"Prepare every single person who is ready for battle and only choose people at the saint core realm." The king barked at the captain as he and his squadron bowed and quickly left.

The king then asked Esmeralda to help them as he and the queen went away and came back while wearing matching pieces of dull-looking battle armor.

But Esmeralda could easily tell that the dull-looking armor was actually a powerful treasure as all of them assembled outside the palace.

About a hundred elves were gathered on the outside as the others asked the captain to direct them towards the incoming people.

The captain gulped nervously and started flying towards the northeast as everyone followed him. The people in the capital watched the soldiers and the king and queen go away with dark expressions since this meant that something big was happening and any one of them could tell that it wasn't anything good.

Kai could suddenly see a huge group of people coming towards them as he gestured for Qin and the rest of the elves to settle down.

"That girl is quick and smart as usual." Kai muttered with a smile.

Qin's expression tightened when she saw more than a hundred elves landing in front of them and all of them were wearing battle armors.

But there was a woman whose face was the only thing visible about her as she was wearing a hooded dress.

The woman was not wearing any armor yet she was smiling vigorously but the smile didn't reach her eyes as she looked in Kai's direction.

"Why are you here, Lian Qin and ambassadors?" The king and queen were wearing matching armors had they had a crown symbol etched on their sheaths and right upper arms.

"We are here to broker a truce between both of your lands." Kia replied without any emotion as the king tried to determine whether he was lying or not.

"We don't believe what you saying." The queen replied instead of the king as Kai raised his eyebrows.

"And why is that, queen of the land of earth?" Kai asked with curiosity as the queen gave him a grim smile.

"It's cause the elven capital has never taken any steps to mend the relationship between our lands. And we have information that you, a head ambassador, was dispatched by the capital to make sure that the land if lightning gains supremacy over our land." The queen replied as Qin suddenly looked at Kai with sharp eyes.

'Her ability to weave a web of manipulation always manages to surprise me.' Kai thought with an amused expression.

"Will you believe me if I say that the capital really sent me to broker a truce?" Kai asked a the king laughed without any humor.

"We have been tolerated the capital for long enough but deciding to side with another person just cause they are powerful was the last line. From today onwards, the land of earth is revolting and this will start by killing the ruler of the land of lightning and some ambassadors!" The king roared as the army behind him started getting ready to fight.

Qin's expression turned dark as she looked at Kai. They had two golden lightning users but even with that, they wouldn't be able to defeat the land of earth's small army that consisted of their strongest troops.

Esmeralda on the other hand grinned a little as her plan proceeded as she had imagined it. She then closed her eyes and raised hundreds of dead elves back as both parties stared at her in shock.

"Didn't I say that I would help you?" Esmeralda replied as the king nodded.

"I wanted to make this as clean as I could." Kai said with a sigh as the earth below him started to tremble.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky as Kai's eyes started glowing violently. Lightning ran amongst his body as the king's expression turned grim.

"No wonder he is a head ambassador." He said and commanded the troops to move forward.

"I will now avenge you brother." Esmeralda said under her breath as she launched herself forward and started using the undead elves as stepping stones.

Her hands started shimmering as they transformed into sharp dark purple claws and extended by 6 inches.

She directly launched herself at Kai as the two parties started clashing. Esmeralda's undead elves proved to be great shields as the land of earth used them to advance forward.

The queen of the land of lightning tried to clear the way with her lightning but more and more elves kept appearing in front of her.

'I have used too much of my golden lightning.' She thought as she gritted her teeth and summoned another lightning bolt to protect one of her trusted elves from getting butchered.

"Stop." Kai said in a loud voice oas the entire place suddenly paused. Their bodies disobeyed them and they couldn't move forward no matter how much they tried.

Kai then walked towards Esmeralda as his eyes stopped glowing and the lightning around him vanished.

Esmeralda strengthened herself as she tried to use her necromancy to at least deal a blow to Kai as she believed that she was about to be killed.

But instead, Kai sighed and gave her a sad smile and touched her forward with one of his fingers.

"I hope this is enough to make you remember me." He said sadly as the world went black before Esmeralda's eyes.
