Episode 254-Power Game (4)
“The world tree is resisting. “The bombardment doesn’t work!”
“Keep shooting. The World Tree, which not only protects itself, has its limits.”
The airship rising high in the sky is a fortress itself. Faced with no resistance from the elves, they concentrated their bombardment on the World Tree.
The World Tree also resisted the magic barrage by releasing the mana it contained, but the World Tree’s power could not be fully used to protect itself.
‘Is the mission a success?’

The captain, who had tidied up his clothes, which had become a mess from the hasty escape, was confident of victory when he saw the scene. There seemed to be no variables that could overturn this situation.
“There’s an intruder at the top right!”
But then. The wizards, who were running a kind of radar with detection magic, shouted in horror. When the surprised people, including the captain, turned their gaze towards that place, there was a being approaching them at high speed across the sunset sky.
“Demon, it’s a demon!”
Pitch-black wings with a membrane. The captain, who recognized her identity, was frightened by Elise’s appearance and shouted.
‘Those huge magic stones are the power engine. If you destroy that, this airship will fall to the bottom.’
Elise quickly scanned the internal structure of the airship while they were surprised to see her. Although she had no idea about the structure of the airship, she had the eyes to detect mana.
Thanks to this, she recognized the weakness of the airship.
“Stop it! Drop it!”
“Tsk.”
However, things did not work out easily. As her wizards kept her in check by casting their magic in unison, Elise hurriedly took an evasive maneuver and changed her position as numerous fire bullets flew through the air.
‘You have to make a decision.’
She gritted her teeth. Although she was the strongest in the field, she was not strong enough to withstand the firepower of the rain attack alone.
In order to achieve results, she had to take risks.
“The demon has landed!”
“Stop it!”
In the end, she fell at high speed and landed on top of the airship. She was dropped in the middle of numerous enemies. Drawing her blood from the bodies of the charging soldiers and wielding it like a whip, she ignited the bomb in her hand and hurled it towards the power room where the magic stone glowed before more troops could rush in.
However, in return, Elise’s entire body was pierced by the swords and spear blades of the knights who rushed at her.
“Who the hell are you? Why are the demons attacking us!?”
One of her knights saw her stabbed in the chest with her own sword and asked her in a panicked voice.
Even though her entire body was pierced and her blood was spilling, she smiled faintly and grabbed the knight’s blade that pierced her body with her hand and crushed it.
“You are saying the obvious. It was only a few years ago that you risked your lives and fought against each other. “As if you are on the same side as the demons.”
“!!!”
The knight, startled by her words, flinched and took a step back from her.
At the same time, her blood, which was flowing out and pooling on the floor, changed into the shape of a sharp awl and pierced everyone around her with a single blow.
‘Is it a success?’
She quickly recovered her body by absorbing the blood from the bodies of the fallen knights, and when she saw the tilted ship, she hurriedly grabbed the pillar next to her.
The bomb thrown from inside had already exploded, and the magic stone, which was one of the engines of the airship, lost its function.
“It’s true. “Their ships are falling.”
“What did I say? “Didn’t you say that our troops took action?”
When Elise climbed into the sky and crashed the airship single-handedly.
Urea took her remaining members, including Serin, and hurried to the clan elder in the desert.
When they saw the fairy ants, they were frightened and raised their weapons, but their eyes widened when they saw that the people riding them were elves with long, pointed ears like themselves.
“Let’s settle this matter first, and then we can talk.”
“Well, let’s do that. Leader! “Hurry up and punish those evil bastards!”
While they were embarrassed, Urea took the initiative and quietly took control of the situation. The surprised elder followed her words without saying anything, and they rushed together to the crashing airship.
“There is no way to gain trust as easily and quickly as comrades in arms who fought together.”
“From the moment they attacked the World Tree, negotiations were in our favor.”
When Serin asked if it was all calculated, Urea did not deny it.
The elves rushed to the airship that had crashed to the ground and literally massacred the groaning imperial troops. Those who were already on the losing side in a head-to-head fight had no way of defeating the more numerous elves while injured.
“Wait! If you kill me, Your Excellency will be truly angry! Dare! “I know who I am…”
The captain, who was dragged down with a broken leg, also screamed and resisted, but was immediately beheaded.
Compared to what happened, the time it took for the situation to end was very fast. However, although all the enemies that threatened them were annihilated, the desert clans did not look good.
“They could use this as an excuse to send more troops. As the captain mentioned, they could incite the forces around here and isolate us.”
“I know too. “We had no choice.”
As the excitement and anger subsided, fear came. The question was whether they, a small number of people, could withstand the revenge of an empire with an overwhelming weight class.
Since Grand Elder also knew this fact, she decided to cooperate with the empire, but the situation had already become irreversible.
“Why is there no choice? “We are here.”
In just such a situation, Urea stepped forward again. Everyone, including the Grand Elder, looked at the Eden delegation, including Urea, with slightly different eyes.
“Let’s talk a little more seriously. We…”
“Grand Elder! Parti is back alive! “This is news that just came from the frontier!”
And the moment Urea opened her mouth again, smiling with satisfaction as her mood went as she thought. There was even news that Parti, who had been announced dead, had returned alive to this desert.
Although he fell after being hit by an Orca attack, he survived and came back here.
“Good.”
Urea chuckled because it was helpful for persuasion and not a disadvantage.

“After the golem, an airship? Well, looking at what has happened so far, there is nothing strange about it.”
“I think we need to find a method of relativity. According to rumors, it seems like they already have a large fleet of such airships moving together.”
Serenian, who tells me every day about various things happening outside these days, said that it was news that Urea had hastily delivered from the desert. She told me the story about the flying sailboat, the rainship, created by the empire.
Perhaps it was because the details he told me were so detailed, or because the idea of a flying ship itself was not that difficult for me, I was able to recall it right away.
‘I need to think about it.’
How to drop a huge ship floating in the sky. I couldn’t think of it right now, but it didn’t seem like there was any way to catch it.
It is said that it lost its mobility due to a single bomb exploded inside, and in the end, a sailing ship made of wood is by no means a flawless battleship.
“Unless you are completely cornered, indiscriminate bombing will be a burden for the attackers as well. That land is the land they must retake. Their fleet hasn’t attacked right now, so don’t be too anxious. Rather, what should the desert clan do? “It looks like they are completely at odds with the empire, so it looks like they won’t be able to hold out on their own.”
“They decided to join us too. In any case, their world tree has suffered great damage and will be difficult to recover from. “It seems they have agreed that it would be better to return to the state of a sapling and settle in new land.”
Serenian nodded his head at my words. Something happened and the desert clan, unable to endure any longer, decided to leave the place where they lived like the snowflake clan and move here.
‘Are we creating a desert? ‘This doesn’t seem particularly difficult.’
It seemed like if I continued like this, I would collect all the elf clans, but in any case, I will not stop those who want to come.
Creating a desert does not require a complicated process like building a fortress or a river. Aren’t all you need is sand?
“The world tree in the desert they take care of is a world tree that uses the hot heat that heats the ground as its nourishment. “If you want to transplant it, you will need a space with enough heat.”
“…Open?”
However, it seems that it is not as simple as I thought.
I was a little taken aback when Serenian said that not only dry sand but also hot heat was needed.
‘I made some cold, but it’s just heat.’
However, after researching and thinking about various things about flower pot composition, I quickly calmed down. Just making it warm is easy.
