Chapter 187: Another Way of Conquest

After noon, the banquet began to wind down.

The guests gathered in small groups. Some continued to drink and chat, while others rose to take their leave.

Just then, Elf Guards made their way through the crowd to the side of several faction representatives and guild masters, whispering a few words to them.

The representatives were slightly taken aback, but they quickly stood up and followed the guards, leaving the venue.

Similar scenes unfolded one after another.

In just a moment, dozens of people had been escorted from the banquet area and were heading toward the Eternal Hall.

The remaining guests exchanged glances, wondering what was happening.

Those who had been invited away were just as bewildered.

They followed the guards through winding arbored corridors and soon arrived before the doors of the Eternal Hall.

The great doors of the hall were open, revealing a long table and chairs already set up inside.
