Chapter 349: Chapter345-The Dark Elves’ Wrath
"What... what did you do to me?!" The Dark Elf Queen glared at Leslie, feeling an undeniable presence in her mind—a shadow that took the form of Leslie herself, like an indomitable monument planted deep within her.
Any rebellious thought she had was met with a fierce wave from that shadow, inflicting torturous pain that snuffed out her resistance.
This was clearly wrong-Leslie had somehow affected her mind!
But how? For the first time, the Queen felt fear toward Leslie.
The idea that her mind could be altered without her awareness was something she had always thought impossible. But now, it was happening.
As she stared at Leslie with widening, fearful eyes, Leslie stood surrounded by an aura of icy air, the cold swirling around her like a white dragon.
She looked regal, almost celestial, with a gaze of supreme disdain.
To her, the Dark Elf Queen seemed like nothing more than a lowly servant.
"In my presence, why are you still standing? Kneel!" Leslie's voice was cold and commanding, reverberating across the battlefield and drawing everyone's attention. After all, she was addressing none other than the Dark Elf Queen!
The Queen, who had intended to lash out at Leslie, found her voice caught in her throat, unable to speak.
The image of Leslie in her mind grew brighter, like a blazing sun that suppressed her spirit.
Her body, which had been resisting, began to weaken, and her indomitable will gradually crumbled under the weight of Leslie's demand.
Leslie's voice rose in volume. "Kneel!"
The words struck the Queen like thunder, shattering the last vestiges of resistance.
Her body folded, and she knelt before Leslie, head bowed low, her swan-like neck strained with the effort to resist. Despite her attempts to rebel, her efforts were in vain.
At the moment the Dark Elf Queen knelt, silence fell over the battlefield.
Both armies, previously locked in fierce combat, ceased fighting, staring in disbelief.
For the dark elves, this was the ultimate disgrace.
Despite their unfavorable position in this battle, none of them had considered surrender. They had stood firmly behind their Queen, their symbol of strength and loyalty.
But now, the Queen they revered, their guiding light, was kneeling before a human woman.
This was an unbearable humiliation, and the dark elves' chests heaved with fury, their breaths quick and shallow.
"My Queen!"
At that moment, every dark elf cried out, desperate to wake the Queen from her submission. "My Queen, snap out of it! This vile woman is controlling you, leading the dark elves into an abyss!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Awaken, my Queen! Use your power and fury to cleanse this shame by destroying them all!" Their voices merged, a collective roar shaking the void, intensifying the already oppressive sky.
Yet, despite the desperate calls from her people, the Queen couldn't break free from Leslie's hold.
She remained kneeling, unable to move, her desire to submit growing stronger, sweeping over her mind like a torrent.
Seeing that their Queen remained unresponsive, the dark elves' fury reached its peak.
Led by the four ancient elf elders, who wore expressions of grim determination, they prepared for a final assault.
"Dark elves, heed my command! All forces, attack Leslie! No matter the cost!"
"Leave none alive!"
The eldest, deeply wrinkled dark elf elder shouted, charging toward Leslie with an air of unbreakable resolve.
She was an Archgod-tier mage, second only to the Queen herself in power and one of the core pillars of the dark elves.
Following her lead, other grief-stricken dark elves found renewed determination and surged toward Leslie. While they couldn't understand exactly what method Leslie had used, they knew she was responsible for the Queen's current state.
Killing Leslie was their only hope of freeing their Queen.
As the dark elf forces charged en masse toward the Empress, the Azure Kingdom's Moss
Giants and White Tower Tech Guild warriors snapped out of their shock and rallied to Leslie's defense.
"You think you can approach the Empress? Think again!"
"None of you will leave here alive!"
"Do you truly believe you can reach our Empress?"
Already fiercely loyal to Leslie, the Azure Kingdom forces had been galvanized further by her dominance over the Queen.
Their worship of Leslie ran deep, and they would not allow anyone near her.
Boom! Boom!
The once-stilled battlefield erupted again in chaotic violence, with powerful magic attacks flaring up across the lines.
The dark elves clashed against the Azure Kingdom's soldiers, who blocked their advances like an impregnable fortress.
However, the four elder dark elves, powered by sheer determination, broke through the
blockade.
As Archgod-tier mages, they were formidable figures in any era, forces to be reckoned with in
any faction.
Witnessing their breakthrough, dark elves in the ranks erupted in cheers.
"These old ones are truly fearsome!"
"The darkelves may be Celestial's lapdogs, but their power and legacy run deep."
Even Madelyn and Rachel's expressions grew tense as they watched.
Though the Azure Kingdom's army had gained the upper hand earlier, the true strength of the
dark elves was now coming to light with these elders joining the fray.
As the elder dark elves neared Leslie, the eldest unleashed her attack.
Her wings fluttered, summoning towering trees that erupted from the ground. Green vines coalesced into beams of light, hurtling toward Leslie like rain.
Eldritch Light!
The green beams appeared as twisted faces at their tips, emitting a piercing sound that sliced through the air, disrupting concentration with its shrill tone.
But just as the elders launched their strongest attacks, Leslie turned her gaze upon them.
Or rather, Leslie had already sensed their approach but had not considered them worth her time. Now, as they reached her, she finally prepared to respond.
"You must be the last hope of the dark elves," she remarked, her gaze sweeping over them.
Four Archgod-tier mages, indeed a formidable lineup. Even a celestial god-tier mage would struggle against them in a united front.
The Queen, still kneeling, frowned. She knew the strength of the four elder dark elves. But she also knew that the one standing before them was Leslie.
