Episode 270-The Value of Freedom (10)
“Enemy airship falls…”
“Everyone stay there! “It’s falling on our heads!”
Even on earth, I witnessed everything that was happening in the sky. Enemy ships falling apart after being smashed and the people on board them.
Those on the ground only looked up at the sky from the shelter they had taken refuge in to avoid those falling below.
The drones and rhinoceros beetles mobilized by Eden began to bring down the rest of the panicked imperial fleet to the ground one by one through a fierce battle.
No matter how good a wizard or knight they are, they cannot survive a fall from that height. Some wizards struggled to survive by using the momentum of the magic they cast, but the success rate was extremely poor.
“We have to land now. “I have no energy!”
“Let’s land. “Because their fleet was completely destroyed.”
Ren, who was holding the controller, shouted at the beeping sound coming from the controller. It was a notification that the battery was running out.
Leaving the remaining ships that were desperately running away to the beetle, Serenian landed the drone on the ground.
As they began to come out of the drone one by one, Garon with an astonished face came running out of the shelter along with those who were operating the battery.
They were looking at the drone and Serenian alternately in disbelief.
“Has God given us another miracle?”
“Especially because our situation is urgent.”
Garon immediately recognized that the drone was something that the Sky God had been involved with. No matter how good the people in Eden are, it is impossible to create something like this all at once.
He immediately noticed that only a few parts had been strengthened.
“Still, as planned, we were able to defeat the enemy’s airship fleet before the bombardment began. “The weapons we have prepared have shown sufficient power, so now…”
“But the war is not over yet.”
Everyone was excited, but Serenian shook his head. As she said, the Empire’s airship fleet is just a part of them that was overconfident in their power and was playing with fire.
The real enemies were slowly approaching here from outside the great forest.
“Our enemies, the Kingdom of Delos and its King Heinz. “Please leave it to us to punish them.”
Sran, an executive of the Great Forest Central Committee who had boarded the drone with Serenian, expressed confidence that the approaching enemies could now be defeated with only the power of the Great Forest.
She nodded her head without denying it.
In this war, which was won against the Imperial fleet, which would be the greatest danger, the power of the Great Forest Elves was now sufficient without Eden’s help.
“They are evil bastards who tried to divide us, who are of the same clan, by using evil tricks, and tried to harm the world tree. “We don’t dare let those guys even set foot in this place!”
Fully armed elves of the Great Forest began to gather in the central city of Deneb, carrying fairy ants. The pace was fast because we had prepared from the moment we heard the news.
“To be more certain, I think it would be better to lure them here and deal with them.”
“That may be true, but they are literally evil people and will not voluntarily enter the battlefield where they are at a disadvantage.”
Serin, the leader of the half-breed beastmen who came to Deneb by train together to help Serenian with the operation, said that it was right to wait until the enemies who had something to target entered the forest and then fight, but Serenian shook his head.
She already had experience waging war with the Kingdom of Delos and Heinz since Eden was just a village.
Although there was Ercilla’s cooperation at that time, they were clearly the ones who did not hesitate to burn the forest to kill the Eden elves.
“We will no longer fight on our land. We fight outside.”
Luri, who entered the war as one of the commanders, agreed with Serenian’s opinion.
I planned to rush out of the forest with my army and sweep away the enemies.
‘Indeed. ‘It won’t be impossible.’
Serin flinched when she saw the numerous elf armies lined up in front of her.
I had experience fighting them myself. In Serin’s estimation, the 10,000 well-armed elf army of the Great Forest could easily deal with enemies estimated at over 100,000.
In addition, the elves also have a drone that shot down the empire’s airship.
“Everyone is probably paying attention to this war. Time is on our side, as news will spread that the Imperial fleet has been destroyed. “There is no need to overdo it.”
“I will keep this in mind.”
However, this time, Serenian did not step forward directly, but left full authority to the Great Forest Elves, including Ruri. He wanted to reduce their dependence on him and let the public know that the elves were strong even without him.
Ruri responded to that question with a grin and soon got on the fairy ant and started moving with the others.

“What does that mean? “What about those people who said they would pave the way for us, so we should just deal with the remnants and push in slowly?”
“It’s literally like that! “The Empire’s airship fleet has been destroyed by the elves!”
A war in the skies involving huge ships, something rarely seen in the history of the continent. And the shocking results that followed spread everywhere.
This happened as those who managed to return alive fell into panic after making an emergency landing and sent out requests for help in all directions.
“The elves rode on strange lizards with four wings and breathed fire? A giant scarab? “I think I’ve heard that story.”
“Well, I really told you what I heard, Your Highness!”
As Heinz narrowed his eyes as if he could not believe it, the soldier who delivered the news lowered his head in horror. Of course, Heinz, who realized that it was sincere, did not bother to press the question, even though his reaction was absurd. In the first place, the elves were accustomed to doing ridiculous things.
“Does it seem true to you?”
“I think I know what that giant beetle is. It looks like the monster that took the elves and attacked our test subject and branch and destroyed them. But I don’t know much about anything else. “How on earth did they deal with that huge sailing ship?”
Regner bit his lip after hearing the story about the scarab beetle that he already knew.
“If a monster is capable of shooting down an imperial airship by flying through the sky and spitting fire, isn’t it a dragon that only existed in the mythical era? “What if they brought a dragon?”
“This is a ridiculous story. The dragons have left this world. With the gods. And a dragon won’t have an elf or something riding on him.”
Regner firmly shook his head at the ridiculous speculation. Of course, even though he denied it, he couldn’t actually give a proper answer to the identity of the drone.
“Let’s just keep going and decide.”
Heinz thought for a moment and did not stop his advance. It is shocking that the empire’s fleet, which had been boasting and shouting loudly, was destroyed, but if the army were to return now, there would be no shame like that.
However, the elves took it upon themselves to destroy his thoughts.
“The elves are coming!”
Those observing the forest from the front shouted that elves were invading.
“Oh, here it comes. “It’s pouring out!”
The people who were dispatched one step ahead and were watching the huge forest that spread out wide were astonished when they saw something in the swaying forest.
Things that I thought were just trees or grass began to shake violently and ran out of the forest all at once.
A number of elves riding giant ants like horses.
The number was by no means small. Frightened, they quickly turned around and reported this to the main unit.
“It looks like they are planning to attack us first! “We haven’t figured out what the number is yet.”
“Be prepared to defend. Regner, you must have a really special move, right?”
“Of course. “All of our lives are at stake, Your Majesty.”
Heinz calmly commanded the army and prepared for defense. And at the same time, he urged Regner next to him. What he believed in was Regnor’s magic, which had prepared a special move for the elves.
“Once everyone has taken their seats, tell them to get ready.”
Regner immediately ordered his subordinate wizards spread out in every corner of his unit to take out what they had prepared in advance.

He himself took out something, and it turned out to be none other than a crystal ball-like object the size of a handball ball.
“Is that what can neutralize elves?”
“That’s right. At least on this battlefield, they won’t be able to run wild as they please.”
He grinned and activated the crystal ball. The same goes for what others were holding.
Soon, a strong wave of mana spread like a breeze towards the elves, who quickly moved and took out their bows to kill the heavy infantry.
