Hapis was taking an army of over fifty thousand bull beastkins when he got the message from Horas. It was obviously quite a bad news for him. One of the people who gave him a lot of support for the conquest was Wepwewet and his downfall was really a saddening piece of news for him.
Other than that, he was already determined to crush the human stronghold in the city of Jysis but now his determination got even stronger as that was the only way for him and his clansmen to stay alive.
Soon he got close to the human border from where he could see the outer walls of the city of Jysis. Hapis had brought all 9 of his remaining generals for this do or die battle. So after they got close to the city, he told them to create a temporary camp as soon as possible and to get ready for an all out battle.
After that Hapis got even closer to the walls and shouted -
"I'm Hapis, one of the current beast kings and I'm asking the highest ranking human present to have a chat with me. I also want to invite the S ranker present inside to take on the role of a mediator."
After this declaration from Hapis there was utter silence for a few moments then soon a melodious voice rang -
"I will accept your proposal of becoming a mediator. After one hour go to this place. I will bring the human representatives with me. You can bring as many people as you want with you but I will recommend not bringing a large crowd as that would be a hindrance to a peaceful exchange."
When Elena was speaking, the scene of a location suddenly appeared in Hapis' mind. He also felt that he knew how to go to that particular location. That was a very scary experience for Hapis as it meant that Elena could easily affect his mind whenever she wanted. But that was as expected of a S ranker so Hapis did not think much about it and silently went back to the camp to get prepared for the upcoming dialogue.
...
Soon, after about 45 minutes, Hapis appeared at the indicated location alongside two of his best generals. One was the most intelligent one just after Fabak and another one was level 245 who was his strongest general.
As they reached the location, they found that place to be empty with nothing but sand as far as they could see. But suddenly there was a little earthquake and a large structure appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the desert.
Then they saw five individuals also appearing suddenly alongside that building-like structure. But even tho five people appeared, all of them just became a part of the background as one among them was just way too brilliant.
From the human side, Sandy and Saradina were going to participate in this exchange as the major general and his aide. Accompanying them were general Mars and general Dennis. Elena was here not as a part of the human kingdom but as a neutral third party.
It might look strange as to why Hapis was willing to acknowledge Elena as a neutral party even tho she was a member of the human race and probably even part of the human Myrilia Kingdom.
But one had to understand that if Elena was really on the side of the Myrilia kingdom that the war would have been already over. It didn't matter how strong or how large of an army he had. As long as they were against a S ranker, none of that was useful.
Moreover, the S rankers associated with the adventurer guild all had to take on a neutral role during any conflict between two nations. They could at most be biased and help their preferred nation a bit but they would never be too much involved.
The adventurer guild never forced their members to do anything but they had to at least maintain the basic rules of the organisation if they wanted to stay as a part of it. So Hapis was not worried that Elena would do anything very drastic as she was still a part of the adventurer guild.
...
Elena gave a sweet smile and told all the individuals present their -
"Hello gentlemen, I'm Elena, a S rank adventurer. Today we are going to have an exchange between the rebel bull beastkins of the Gaim Empire and the humans of the Myrilia Kingdom."
Hearing Elena's address of the bull beastkins both the involved parties were taken aback. The humans had no idea why she was addressing them as such and Hapis and the other two generals were thinking about how she knew that information. But Elena was nonchalant about the confusion of the involved parties.
"And as I will be a neutral party in this exchange I will not represent the human race or the beastkin race. So, I will become an elf for the duration of this exchange."
As soon as she said it her ears elongated and she turned into a high elf from a human. The individuals present their almost fainted seeing her casually changing her race like changing clothes. Her elf features added an extra exotic charm to her already devastating beauty and made the males present there to lose their minds for a second.
"As for the rules of the exchange, there is nothing much. Just don't attack each other or insult the opposite party and it would be fine. Now, let's begin the exchange. Please enter this little hall which I just created as the venue."
...
As they entered the building-like structure they found the inside of the structure to be very luxurious in contrast to the outer part which was bland. Inside the structure there was a large round table with seats prepared for a total of 8 people.
4 sits were on the left side of the table and 3 sits were on the right. And the last remaining seat was in the head of the table. Elena, now with her elvin looks went straight to the single seat and sat done with elegance and then she told others to also take a seat.
When everyone was sitting and ready for the discussion Elena snapped her finger and foods and drinks appeared in front of all the participants. Now it was time for the meeting to begin.
...
Leonhart dispatched a total of thirty five thousand elite guards from the royal army and also ordered 13 of his own personal guards to also join the ranks of the army.
All the personal guards of the emperor were at least B ranks. Among the 13 guards 12 were of the B rank and one was level 253 who became the overall deputy leader for the operation. Obviously, Leonhart himself was the main leader as he was also taking part in this battle against the rebels. Having more prestige and achievement in his name was never a bad thing.
Soon the royal army encircled the fortress Trixepona. It was a great fortress which had remained unbreachable for a very long time. Only when the past Gaim Principality attacked the fortress with a large army of a hundred thousand soldiers, they were finally able to break the fortress after a lot of sacrifices.
But now the soldiers of the royal army were not scared at all by this legendary fortress. The reason behind that was the presence of a S rank powerhouse in their mix which was not present in the past. So, the royal army merched in front of the fortress with a very high morale and confidence.
Leonhart told the army to set up camp just outside the fortress and in accordance with the customs asked for the opposition's surrender before the start of the real battle. What they got as the answer to that appeal was thousands of arrows shooting toward them.
Then over a thousand hawk beastkins took to the sky and started launching aerial bombardment. But the royal army was not just made of the lion beastkins but they included the soldiers from many races. So they also had their own aerial unit. They also took to the sky and intercepted them. Just like that, the battle between the royal army and the hawk beast overlord clan began.
...
Meanwhile in the Divine Realm, the goddesses were having a never before seen large scale meeting. Many goddesses had gathered together in the divine domain of the Moon Goddess, Lunamaria.
After learning about Elena's involvement in the war between the Gaim Empire and the Myrilia Kingdom, the Moon Goddess did not waste any time and notified all the members of the Elena fan club to gather together. Almost all the goddesses were a part of the fan club and the only goddesses who were not a part of the fan club were also trying hard to join it.
Then she told all of them about how elder sister Elena was taking part in a little war and they unanimously agreed to watch Elena performing in the war.
So, the god realm today suffered a sudden disaster when hundreds of goddesses suddenly fainted after seeing Elena's Elvin form. Fortunately the Supreme Goddesses took steps and the disaster was avoided.
Phew, what a terrifying girl Elena was.
