Chapter 151 – Fragmentation (1)
“The information has already been obtained. Some of the members dispatched there checked the temporary forts that seemed to be their strongholds, and saw that some of their own people were being held there.”
“There is no time for hesitation. The further you go, the harder it will be to chase.”
When Serenian convened a meeting and mentioned the invader faction. Unexpectedly, all the elves were angry and insisted on punishing them.
“You don’t even need a lot of troops. If you can attack and withdraw quickly, you can win with fewer numbers.”
The most annoying thing is that parasitic bees that have not yet been completely destroyed attack the city construction site when the power is divided.
Still, there was a high probability that there would be no problem if the military expenditure was minimized.
“Good. Since the Central Conference is not even doing its duty, we cannot sit still.”
Serenian, whose heart was inclined deep down, made a decision. He formed a commando group consisting of around 50 people and planned to attack the enemies outside the Great Forest.
And, of course, he himself was among them. It was because it had a special meaning to her that she herself did ‘what Ersilla should have done but couldn’t’.
It is true that the more time you drag out, the more dangerous the people you need to rescue become. Anyway, Eden is always ready to fight, so Serenian prepared to fight as soon as the meeting was over.
“It proved its usefulness through Leon, the leader of the Special Operation Unit. Wouldn’t he be useful in case of emergency?”
“Even though this is the work of the elves, I will not forget the help of the dwarves.”
After putting on her armor and arming herself, Aaron, along with her dwarves, brought her something and gave it to her and her soldiers as they left.
This heavy handgun was actually a bit big to be called a handgun, but since elves know how to strengthen their bodies with mana, there is no problem in using it. Serenian did not reject it, but took it and thanked him.
It wasn’t just this pistol. In preparation for the unexpected, Serenian asked the Dwarves to provide troops armed with firearms.
The dwarves themselves had a lot of work to do, but since they were helping by splitting the number of people who were lacking, it was worth saying thank you enough.
“We come and go quickly.”
That was all. Without a grandiose ceremony or send-off, Serenian climbed on the fairy ant with the elves who followed him and entered the Great Forest over the rift just as the sun was rising.
After that, they tried to go straight with the guidance of Leon and other special operation team members. The fairy ants twisted their bodies and climbed up the rough rocky mountains and thick forests as they were.
“Further investigation has revealed that they are no mere rogues by any means. There are at most 100 of them staying in the fort built outside the Great Forest boundary, but we have seen quite a few come and go from the plains on a regular basis.”
“In the first place, the human kingdom will not allow such people to build camps in their land, so it means that they are all the same in the end.”
After hearing Leon’s report on the way, Serenian frowned. The forces behind it didn’t seem to have any intention of hiding the fact that they supported the thieves, whether they looked down on the elves or were aware of their internal circumstances.
“Everyone, change the ants. There is no time to stop.”
However, what they did not expect was that another elven faction was growing naturally within the Great Forest. Even this other elven faction had continued to grow in power until now, and it was a bonus that they had nothing to lose diplomatically.
At the bases that the special operations team had made in advance throughout the great forest, the elves who were tired of running nonstop and replaced the fairy ants continued to run through the great forest without a break.
Eating was also solved from above while running. Even when I was sleeping, I fixed my body tightly and slept on top of the running ant.
The result of running that way was to reach the eastern border of the great forest at a speed beyond common sense. The edge of the forest that quite a few elves never see in their lives.
Arriving there, Serenian bit his lip when he saw a temporary fortress made of timber cut down in the great forest on the plain outside the forest.
“There is only one stronghold we have found, but considering the activity radius of the monsters that appear in all regions bordering the human kingdom, there must be more than a few in other regions.”
“The important thing is to warn those who run amok without knowing how scary the world is. Even if that happens, you won’t be able to walk around recklessly.”
Just when the sun is setting. Serenian, who had arrived here a few days after leaving Eden and had a final rest, answered Leon’s words coldly. In fact, I could see the elves being held inside the fortress. I don’t know who it is, but everyone, including Serenian, raised their anger.
“I am a little worried about what to do if they see our actions and misunderstand that it is Daesoorim’s work and harm the people of Daesoorim.”
“Then we have to raise it higher. So that they know who we are.”
Serenian smiled as she pointed to the banner she was holding as her standard-bearer, Shura, muttered anxiously beside her.
Of course, the crest of Eden was engraved on the flag fluttering in the wind. The coat of arms was neither of Great Forest nor of the Kingdom of Delos.
“The sun has set. We’ve had enough rest, so we’ll charge right away.”
Serenian immediately prepared his forces. It was my first time fighting outside of the Great Forest, but it was nothing difficult compared to fighting parasitic bees that lay eggs on the body of a living person while hiding with powerful poison.
‘It’s the result you didn’t prove.’
Putting on a helmet, Serenian silently ran out of the forest with his soldiers and started charging.
Not for the sake of Eden, but for the sake of the entire forest clan. At the same time, it was the moment when her existence spread out into the world once more.

“Damn it, can you take a look at it, Carson?! Both me and my subordinates are going crazy because of the late schedule!”
“Don’t be crazy. Your boss threatened to cut off the deal if the product was damaged, and you want to break it?”
The inside of the fort is dark after sunset. In front of a temporary building made with bars to imprison the abducted elves, Hana, a large beast with a dog’s face, and a man who appears to be human are scrambling with each other.
The human man couldn’t stand her lust and tried to rape the female elves who were caught by her superior’s order, and the prisoner who participated as a mercenary rejected it with a single stroke, saying that he was full of energy.
“Although elves look similar to humans, they say they lust after a different race… They look like humans.”
Beastmen, whose aesthetic standards were completely different from humans, had the attitude that they could not understand humans who were s*xually attracted to elves, who were just creatures with arms and legs. In fact, only the human species was known to be able to mix blood with other races to create a hybrid.
“Damn it, it’s going to be sold and rolled around anyway… um?”
“That’s it!”
It was then that they saw countless lights across the sky. Their identity is arrows filled with mana.
The arrows flew silently across the sky, piercing through the bodies of the soldiers standing on the alert and killing them in one blow.
“Raid! Eh, it’s an attack by elves!”
“Nonsense. Are these madmen going to war!?”
They didn’t know that the elves would attack first, so they fell into a panic. According to the information obtained from the upper level, the elven army would never be able to move, so it was because they were boasting about being relieved.
“Calm down, you fool. At best, the angry villagers attacked on their own.”
A dog beast called Carson growled and yelled at the human captain. Until this time, they had not cared about Eden’s existence at all, and they mistakenly thought that the enemies who invaded them were a simple militia.
“Take your seat. Without fear, I dare say where is this place…”
Furthermore, urged by his own men, he took up his sword and rushed forward in chaos to the growing tumult.
“Huh?”
However, even though he bravely set out to find a target to fight, he hadn’t even swung the sword before. It was because a single lightning bolt rushing through the moonlight pierced his chest.
The lightning that was entangled in the arrows, destroyed his mana at once, and burned his whole body.
The last thing he saw with his blurry vision, his breath stopped, was the giant ants armed with metal head armor and leg armor and rushing into the fortress that was devastated by a barrage of arrows.

They, who climbed on top of the giant monster ant, were also armed with armor, inserted their bows, took out melee weapons, and crashed into the troops defending the camp.
“Kill them all. Let no one run away!”
The flag in the hand of the fairy ant rider, who trampled and crushed his fallen head, fluttered in the moonlight and mana that flashed here and there.
