Chapter 222 – The Profane (2)
“Are you ready?”
“Perfect. At least everything worked as planned.”
They don’t even know that the opponent is approaching. Serenian bit his lip when he received a report that the enemy’s army had already arrived near the entrance.
Contrary to expectations, the enemies were not the army of the Dwarven Kingdom, but humans. The number was more than expected, about 10,000, or thousands.
‘No. It doesn’t matter who the opponent is.’
She shook her head and controlled her mind. While the main force that escaped Eden is already holding their breath and completely ambushed outside, the enemies, who are only focused on finding the entrance to Eden by following the traces of the manned troops, do not even think about finding the main force.
In this situation, it didn’t matter whether the enemy was a human or a dwarf. She let out a small sigh and blankly looked up at her sky.
The lakeside where she is is quiet. It is because the residents of Eden emptied the flower pots by the lakeside and went outside armed or fled to other areas.
Fairy ants, which were infested with ant nests, also completely covered the entrance of their nests with soil and disappeared.
Soon the enemies will come here. And those enemies are judged. A scourge falling from the sky will punish them.
It is impossible to predict how the battle will take place outside, but at least those who set foot here will be unable to survive.
“Tell the remaining manned troops in the ant nest to deal with them moderately and retreat. It’s important to act so that enemies don’t notice, but it’s more important that allies don’t get hurt.”
“Okay.”
Serenian instructed the person next to him to speak to the manned unit preparing to fight in the anthill.
The last mission of the manned unit, which successfully attracted the attention of the enemies for several days, is to create a sense of urgency and urgency while fighting the enemies inside the ant nest.
It was the role of inducing the enemy to attack until the end without noticing that it was a trap.
“The underground passage is narrow and long. No matter how many enemies there are, if you’re determined and try to stop them, you won’t be defeated easily, so tell the Queen not to worry. Even more so if the opponent is a human.”
After hearing Serenian’s words, Naria smiled and said not to worry. It was all planned anyway, so there was no problem.
It was the confidence that she could control the situation on her own, based on her own skills.
“Well, this is only a deep, dark cave. It would be better to send a search party first.”
“Do it.”
Time for Eden’s manned troops to take their place inside.
He was in no hurry to reach his destination with his army. In his heart, he wanted to attack right away and wipe them all out, but he was no longer a vengeful madman, but a commander who was to lead an army.
As his adjutant said, he decided to send a search party first, and dispatched a search party made up of elite knights to the entrance of Eden.
“Ba, you better not be vigilant. They’re a mixture of dwarves and elves, so I don’t know what tricks they’ll do.”
The Dwarven Search Captain, who was watching him, cautiously warned him. Although they came all the way here after chasing them, it was because there were things they saw and heard while continuing the chase.
“Nothing to worry about.”
“Ugh..”
He smirked at the dwarven search leader. Seeing those eyes shining inside the helmet, the Dwarf search captain flinched and flinched.
‘It is true that it is worth doing if all the information is known. Really?’
Pietro, who was watching from a step away, smiled faintly with an interesting look on his face. Like the others who gathered here for their own purposes, such as revenge and punishment, Pietro had his own purpose.
The purpose is to collect data. Belonging to an organization formed after the Great War, he collects and analyzes various forces that exist in the world like other members of the organization and seeks to escape the existing limitations.
He doesn’t hesitate to do things that are considered taboo, such as alliance with demons and human experimentation. Because I believed that evolution was the only right way. To him, this war between Eden and the forces of the North Continent was an important event that must be looked at.
“It’s a big deal. Their resistance is very strong!”
And that moment. The search party that infiltrated the inside sent an urgent request for support.
***
“Here! There are them!”
“Only dozens of people. Is it a scout?”
A large cavity inside an anthill that was once the hub of a complex dungeon. Naria, who had set up a defensive position there, ran into the search party who came back through the aisle.
Of course, the battle happened lightly. Confused, the search party rushed after seeing the invisible soldiers of Eden, and Naria also fought with all her might because she would be suspicious if she was pushed by the search party.
“Stay close. Hit the arrows!”
The knights pierced the arrows of the elves and tried to get close somehow. They were convinced that they would still have an advantage if they stuck close.
Besides, they are selected elite knights. In fact, they quickly hit arrows loaded with mana and tried to cross the defense line by quickly closing the distance.
“Where.”
Naria stepped forward and knocked them down. Her breastplate crumpled, with her fists clearly imprinted on her fists, and her head smashed through her helm as she leaped and landed her kick.
“Surround yourself! Surrounded… Aagh!”
Her knights tried to catch her by her numbers, but even that failed. It was because Ren, who appeared behind her, interfered by grabbing and deflecting the weapons they were holding.
“We cannot penetrate alone. Go and let the outside know!”
The knights, who realized that they could not penetrate with their own strength, had to ask for help with their pride.
And the commander who received this report, Varus, led his troops without hiding a smile and entered the passage at the forefront himself.
“Shouldn’t we retreat now?”
“They are not convinced yet. When they follow us without a shadow of a doubt. Let’s withdraw then.”
Sensing the presence of countless troops gradually approaching, the unit members suggested that they retreat as planned, but Naria shook her head.
You only get one chance. If you can’t perfectly lure the enemy general and the enemy’s main force, the main force ambush outside may be dangerous.
‘Is that him?’
Naria and Ren soon found an enemy commander who appeared with a number of metallic clanking sounds. The horned helmet is still there.
Barus, who came all the way from his horse and walked on his own two feet, saw them looking down at them from over the barricade on the hill, and his eyes twinkled.
“Open the way, stupid elves. If you don’t release your queen right away, it will be a merciless death.”
“You say you are stupid, but you also say stupid things. Is the tongue the only thing alive?”
He openly asked to open the road, but Naria could not accept that request.
But he rather showed his teeth and smiled. As if she even wanted Naria to say that.
“Four, Commander.”
“You must be confident in your skills.”

He stepped forward alone. While shaking off his subordinates who tried to stop him in surprise. He seemed as if he would break through here alone.
‘Do something useless.’
Naria also noticed his intentions and frowned. It was her unavoidable fight as she wanted a dramatic event to excite her enemies.
[No, go and dry it!]
And when the two of them stepped forward, leaving all their allies to fight like that.
As Ren looked at this scene helplessly, the spirit of the magnet freaked out and shouted at him to stop.
“After my ridiculous defeat by your queen, I am stronger.”
“Ah…”
Mana burst out like fierce flames from his body as he hit the ground with his sword.
Ren, who was surprised to hear the spirit’s words, did not have time to stop. His eyes flashed in the helmet, and with a roar, he closed the distance at once, and struck Naria’s bewildered body with the blade of the moon sword.
Naria’s gauntlet, which barely raised its guard, was so powerful that it shattered along with the flames. Her body, which was small in comparison to his huge body, bounced off and rolled several times on the ground.
[That bastard, does it matter what happens to his life?]
The spirit, sensitive to mana, sighed after finding out what state he was in. He is a kind of berserk state in which his mana runs out of control and becomes uncontrollable. The strength of the existence that was once called a hero was going crazy thanks to that.
It was harming one’s own body, but it didn’t matter to the vengeful being.
“We have to save Master. Help me.”
[Are you crazy? Absolutely impossible to respond. Even Serenian couldn’t stop it!]
The spirit was frightened, but Ren ignored it and ran forward. Naria, who broke both arms in a single blow, managed to stand up, but the blade of the moon sword was already flying into her neck.
[Not through. The difference in power is too great!]
Ren used the magnetic field in a hurry to pull the enemy’s moon sword, but the spirit of the magnet took the initiative for the first time.
The difference in mana, which is the source of her power, was too great compared to her opponent.
“You are an elf. She is of the same clan as that woman.”
Still, Ren’s intrusion succeeded in drawing his attention.
Laughing, he pointed the sword at Ren, who was glaring at herself while taking care of her or Ria.
“Let’s step back now, Ren.”
At the same time, in Ren’s arms, she groaned and ordered us to step back.
“!”
Then Ren moved the spirit’s power and opened the distance at once. He created a strong repulsive force in the steel armor that he and Naria were wearing, and they hurled their bodies at him like a cannonball.
“Are you running away ugly! Charge!”
Panicked, he immediately became enraged and charged the troops waiting behind him. Up, more up.
Charging their morale with the captain’s overwhelming power, they broke through the ant’s burrow and headed to the ground where the end was unknown.
