220 – The Identity of Eden (10)
Chapter 220 – The Identity of Eden (10)
“Here it is. Stuff you said I don’t use it very often, so it’s been stuck in the storage room.”
“It’s a good thing if you use it well.”
As always, I met Dongchun Kim this afternoon and received the laser he requested from him.
It’s not that big, it’s the size of a palm, and when I shot it toward the floor, a deep red light and an intense light shot out. It is an object used when dealing with monsters with sensitive organs to light, but it is still incomparable to cheap laser pointers.
“Do you have anything to say today?”
When you want to return after receiving the goods. I smiled at him, who, unlike usual, didn’t attach his arms. In fact, he looked very tired now. I guess I can’t sleep properly.
“Because there are not one or two things to worry about. It’s company business, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
He sighed and shook his head at nothing. He forcibly took me to the dungeon with a reason, but I felt that he was intentionally avoiding the subject from that day on.
Honestly, a major accident could have happened that day. His company could be turned upside down and, of course, deaths.
He trembled as if he had dropped a crane, especially about the orcs.
“As always. It’s a game where it’s not strange that anyone gets killed or injured.”
“Are there any victims?”
“No, it’s just a thought I’ve always had. I thought I would survive for a long time if I didn’t run on the field. But it wasn’t Maybe I too… Will retire soon. I’m tired of being sleepy now.”
With a bitter smile, he mentioned retirement. It was the first weak side of someone who had been rough and streetwise from the moment they first met me.
A fight where even a veteran like Kim Dong-chun couldn’t stand it was exhausting.
“That’s not it. It’s just that the mindset and circumstances have changed. When I fought with you in the past, I’ve never felt so mentally exhausted while fighting directly. At that time, I felt like I had something to gain.”
However, he corrected my thoughts. Now I just do this to make money, but back then it was a little different.
I could understand what you meant. However, I, who was greatly shocked by the ending, could not agree with his idea that he missed the past.
‘The reason for the fight. It must be necessary.’
Thanks to that, I feel dizzy on the way home. It is because the inhabitants of the world in the pots, which are about to go to war again, come to mind.
They also continue to fight. Still, Serenian said he and all of his residents were willing to risk it.
Anything is possible because there is something to be gained. It has the same meaning as Dongchun Kim said.

“God will punish them. We have to plan accordingly.”
While Seunghyeon was looking for a weapon to use on this day. Serenian prepared for war as if he was accustomed to it with the inhabitants of Eden.
It’s not an ordinary war, and the opponents are completely different from the monsters you’re used to. In addition, the priest who conveyed the will of God predicted in advance that God would punish the unsuspecting invaders.
Serenian did not simply stop there, but planned to move together according to God’s will.
“Even if the ant nest and the lakeside are empty, only a fraction of the enemies will be able to reach this place due to the nature of the small space. They will never send a small number of troops, so even if divine punishment falls, their main force will remain outside. We have to sort them out too.”
Aaron insisted on making a trap first. He insisted on besieging and completely destroying the enemies who would flee in fear from God’s punishment.
“They have found information about this area in an unknown way, but they don’t know the exact location yet. If we hastily move our troops outside, we may be defeated individually.”
“That, that is…”
There were also opposing opinions. Cara said it was impossible to ambush her forces ahead of time, as the enemy was scavenging the area as if it were not going to miss anything.
“Then I lure you in.”
And Serenian, who had heard all the stories, told how. If the enemies are too cautious, it is enough to distract them so that they cannot be cautious.
The plan was to lure the enemies to the entrance of Eden by sending troops that could lure them.
In the past, it would have been unimaginable. The tightly hidden entrance to Eden was the most powerful weapon they had.
However, they both intuitively felt that the time for hiding was over.
“Once we have a plan in place, we choose who to lure our enemies to.”
No one objected to Serenian’s opinion. In the end, they came to select those who would attract the attention of the dwarf search party, which is still searching for the entrance to Eden at this moment.
“I heard that you volunteered for the manned unit.”
“Yes. It happened because of my stupid behavior, so I have to pay it back.”
“Even though I will be fighting the dwarves and my own people?”
In the strange atmosphere of Eden, Ren crossed the road to find Naria, her mentor. She smiled faintly at Ren, who had lost many of her words since she was rescued.
“All elves have a strong sense of kinship. So i envy you But we don’t. If it was, my father wouldn’t have gone through that.”
She told me why she wanted to fight. She was neither vengeance, nor hatred, nor resentment. Because it didn’t matter to her anymore. He was just trying to fight to pay off her debt. However, Ren felt uneasy about the strangely changed appearance of her.
“I decided to go too.”
“I expected it to some degree.”
Ren wanted to follow her, and she herself also applied for her manned unit. Serenian allowed it, and Naria nodded her head knowingly.
As long as the Dwarf Kingdom knows the identity of Eden and is pursuing it, and as long as it wants to lure them in, it needs a stronger bait. The clans of the forest, which should not be here according to common sense, would be able to fulfill their role only by their existence if they were revealed.
“You are better than me. They say you have the power of spirits, but I’m on a downhill road and you only have to grow.”

“Ji, the last time was just an accident. I can’t get tired of Master.”
“It’s not empty words, it’s sincere. Go ahead and get yourself ready. Because the battlefield where you need to be active is coming again.”
When Ren freaked out, she laughed at her and shook her head. The start date of the operation is the next day. Although we are always ready to fight, we do not have enough time.
“They are tracking in all directions, and it is clear that they know the exact direction at least.”
The next day, a manned unit consisting of about 100 people prepared for a sortie. Rat, the leader of the Dwarven special operations unit, who had been unable to sleep and kept an eye on the enemy’s location, warned that the tracking team was approaching.
In fact, the memory of blood Elise read is the memory of Nofen, who was dragged alive to Eden. It’s because her vision was blocked in the middle, but Elise saw exactly the time and direction of being taken to Eden by using Nofen’s memory contained in the blood shed from being beaten during transport.
“The plan is simple. After attacking those pursuing them, retreat pretending to be defeated. And in the process of retreat, we pretend to be scattered and fall to the north, and the rest return to Eden.”
Ryun, who took off his hood to reveal his silver hair, opened his mouth as he saw several members of the Snowflake clan moving with him.
The Eden side included two contents in this operation. The first is to lure the enemies, which is the most necessary task right now.
And the second is to send people to bring all the snowflake clans scattered across the snowy mountains.
“The mission is heavy. You have to take the time, and you shouldn’t do much damage even if you suffer.”
Naria warned that this mission will not be easy. The key to the operation is to reveal the location of Eden before the enemy searches the area needlessly, and instead hide a large army nearby.
It was the task of the manned unit to adjust the timing.
The elves didn’t think much of it, but it was clear that some of the dwarves were nervous. Even if they don’t have a sense of kinship, it’s like declaring war against the kingdom they once belonged to.
In fact, their real enemy is not the dwarves, but the human army that will come in droves, but they don’t know that fact yet.
“Let’s go. Raise the flag.”
Their march was quiet. There is such a thing as being out to defeat, not victory, but it is because the strategy they are executing now is only a small part of the whole.
It is a war that the sky god has been warned to take part in directly. Thinking of that, the flag bearer’s hand trembled slightly.
