Chapter 115: Victoryis Right
----------------------------------------
The elves got subdued by the humans with an overwhelming victory. The thrown owned by the elves are now taken by the contributor of the war. She was one who slaughtered the Hero the Elves and cleaved the gates of the City. Sena Saclea sits on the throne with her cheeks leaned on her knuckles.
In front of her was royalty. Old noble elf-men and elf-women wearing tattered clothing and faces filled with despair. Their once proud expressions were now that of despair.
“By the order of the Sun’s Crown and in the name of the Church and its people, you are presented by the noble men and women of the Order.”
A man in priest robes said.
“You heathens, by the crimes of being vile-blood, slaughter, and for participating in the war against the humans, and for the slaughter of soldiers, and of men and women that served humankind in its darkest days, all of you shall be sentenced to death by hanging.”
The priest nodded, turned to the lady in the throne and gestured at the soldiers. The noble elves were then dragged at the wooden platform located in the balcony. Their necks were tied with a coil of rope. And with a simple push, they were left hanging for all to see.
This method of execution was considered lenient. And Sena, the one sitting temporarily on the throne belonging to the elves was the one who executed them, by her hand. It was her right as the champion and the one who quelled the elves.
She was high-praised. Her bloody red cape was there. And even though she was told to she didn’t change her outfit and let her blood-stained armor remained. Her eyes were staring a thousand yards and her actions were that of tiredness.
She was tired of all the execution and all of the blood. Her bloody red cape and her stained armor reminded her of the battle. All the slaughter numbed her, and overall what she wanted now was to simply go back home and be done with all of this.
She has already heard of the victory over the other fronts. The Orcs were subdued and the Dwarves were buried along with their kingdom by using the blast powders that they have used to destroy the mountain nation of the dwarves. In the letter she received the dwarves were buried and all those who were lurking around the villages were executed by the order of the church.
The Orcs were brutally killed. And the leader of the Orcs was personally killed by the Orc Slayer, Valera Asmara and her legion and allies started killing the Orcs by beheading. The letter was rather descriptive and in order to remind the Orcs or at least the strugglers. The head of every Orc, whether men, women or children were put in spikes and now the whole Orc territory resembles a grave, but instead of tombstones and skeletons, what can be found there are the Orc’s and their heads gaping about.

Sena was already being merciful at these daft elves. She has been killing them by hanging and every elf, or at least the children were killed quickly and were not put to suffer. That was the only mercy that the humans could give them. A quick digestion of poison and most of the young elves were killed.
Now their bodies are put in one grave. A mass grave dug by the soldiers. Which will be turned into a statue of remembrance that proves the victory of the humans against the elves, and it will soon be a reminder, in their capital that the humankind they looked down upon having defeated them.
Every village and every town that belongs to the elf will have a reminder, and under the statues will be the corpses of the elves, the proud ones that have succumbed at the hands of the humans who they looked down upon very badly.
It was a simple conclusion. The humans have sent many of their emissaries here in the elven lands yet they did not even give a face to the humans. Instead, it leads to all of this slaughter and if there is anything to be blamed, then it would be the elves.
The humans have used their fury and zeal to win and now they proved that their fury has won and now they are the victors and are now the superior ones.
It was not the human’s fault that they were able to win. It was the fault of the proud elves who didn’t want to lower their heads to the humans who plead for peace.
The humans are not evil.
Easily, the slaughter that they have done is indeed evil. But for the men and women who died in the front-lines. This ‘slaughter’ of the demi-humans that is happening in the north is merely the result of a war that has been concluded.
If the elves or the demi-humans won then they will surely slave humankind and take their land. There will be slaughter and many will die. This time, the humans won the war, and with them winning they were allowed to do what they wanted as revenge.
The world isn’t black and white. No matter whom the victor was, the victor will surely claim the life of the defeated and thus what is happening here is just fair game.
This is the result of the war.
The slaughter and genocide were a natural conclusion.
Humanity already knew that peace was vain with the elves. Thus they can only do what is necessary and that is to kill any elves that would try to bite them. There will be strugglers hiding in the mountain but sooner or later they will be hunt down.
Sena’s forces and the others will make sure that those who will fight will be getting their execution and with the lands now controlled by humankind. They will be hunted down ruthlessly and with the utmost zeal possible. The humans are fanatics and with their victory,
The humans can still hunt merrily. After all, thier Victory is their Right.
