Chapter 220 (2/2)
The lance’s usually inviting and char demeanor was laced with impatience but she kept her voice polite “Please be wary of your position as an Eralith Taking into consideration your current state of mind, I have already told the Council that you are unfit for battle”

VIRION ERALITH
The Castle
It was chaos Live updates—abranded onto the transmission scrolls faster than we could sort and read them Despite the cost of these communication artifacts, piles of the rooh them
The dire and hectic situation added oil to the flames of tension that had already built up in the room
A sudden thud turned everyone’s head towards Alduin, who had thrown a stack of transrabbed Bairon Glayder, forainst the wall
“You’re reading the reports froht?” he hissed “Are you happy? Are you happy?! ”
I gestured away the guards that were about to interfere
For the first time, the proud head of the Glayder fa like this could happen”
“I his face closer to the hu Zestier, the very heart of Elenoir Even with the evacuation strategies being i froed and you’re saying it was ier but please, this isn’t the time or place to do this,” Merial soothed as she pulled back her husband’s ar his ar a wild fist that was still clutching onto the trans squarely on Bairon’s jaw “My daughter nearly died because of your greed!”
Priscilla Glayder stood off to the side, watching the whole scene with gritted teeth and clenched fists, unable to aid her husband out of guilt Buhnd sat idly, the usual look of arim frown
Alduin fell to his knees He slaround until his entire hand was covered in blood “How many times did I ask for our own troops to be placed back in Elenoir? How many times did I plead because I was afraid this exact scenario would occur!? How are you going to take responsibility if this leads to the entire fall of the elven kingdom!”
Not a sound could be heard aside froently wrapped her ar ht After all, the weight of his words didn’t just fall on the Glayders, but to reed with Bairon on keeping the elven troops in Sapin I was the one responsible for as happening to Elenoir
I was overconfident with the ical defenses of the Elshi+re Forest Just like the Glayders I rong Such a siment was stuck deep in the back of th to say it aloud
As the commander, I led the entire military forces of Dicathen While I didn’t want this position, I had been confident in the decisions Ithisdoubt in ave
I stared at the transmission scroll sent from Etistin
Now isn’t the time to doubt my decisions
I quickly flipped the scroll and tucked it into another pile nearby before speaking
“Enough! Now is not the tiers Get out and cool off, all of you, ” I stressed
The members of the Council looked at one another, still emotional but more hesitant “Council at the Castle soon Take soaze towards the Glayders, I gave them each a nod “Take a break, and just know that what happened is no one person’s fault”
I waited for the guards to escort the members of the Council out Alduin and Merial were the first ones gone and froer, I knew he blamed me as well Perhaps the only reason he didn’t voice it was because he kne much I also cared for Elenoir
Bairon, before he was taken out of the room, looked back “I know you swore your oath to be i Dicathen in this war, but I won’t bladom”
He didn’t wait for me to reply as he walked out with his wife in hand
It was an answer I had never expected fro, and it made my very decision to escort the Council out of this roo the confrontation I would eventually have to face for my choices
Buhnd was the last to leave; he shot me a look that I couldn’t interpret, but I didn’t have time to ponder I was now alone
The rooo seees written in the transmission scrolls seemed to create a cu
Letting out a sigh, I retrieved the transain The content of this scroll, and the many more soon to come, would stun the rest of the Council as ht now
I couldn’t let that happen At least one of us needed to be in their right mind, which hy I hid it from them—even if it was for just a few hours I needed that time to decide on how to proceed
There were now over three hundred shi+ps filled with Alacryan soldiers approaching our western shores and there would undoubtedly be scythes and retainers a placed into their attacks, I couldn’t help but fear that this as reaching its turning point
Fortunately, Bairon and Varay were already close by, but just having those touldn’t be enough—Even having all five of our lancesLance Mica to the western coast wouldn’t be too difficult and Arthur should’ve been nearly finished with his role at the Wall
That only left the elven lance
Would I withdraw General Aya from Elenoir and deny them reinforce the lance away or risk allowing another even larger army to step foot on our land?
