Episode 295-The Great War (15)
“Imperial forces in the fortress are reacting. “The direction is this way.”
“I don’t understand. “You can’t believe you turned your horse’s head right in front of me and turned around to come here.”
Of course, Orca’s reaction was also conveyed to where Serenian was.

The middle-aged man, the garrison commander of this fortress and a margrave of the Kamihi Kingdom, with his arm wrapped in a bandage, responded in an incomprehensible way.
This is because it was so shocking that Orca, who had been using his abilities to the fullest to destroy the Eastern Front through an efficient route, made this choice.
“I guess that means there is a corner that stings.”
However, Serenian, who had already clashed once, responded that he understood Orca.
Why does he want to kill himself so much? Because I got a rough idea. In fact, that was the only blind spot that Orca had.
“There will be no damage here. “I will retreat like this, and at least Orca will chase me.”
“Are you sure it’s okay? “We have already received help once, so we can fight together.”
“No. Orca, that person must be punished.”
Serenian left the fortress with some of the troops he had brought with him. The Margrave tried to stop her, but she had to do this when she came to lure Orca in the first place.
“Retreating like this is too blatant an enticement. Will I get caught up in it?”
“I have to act appropriately.”
She was thinking of heading to another fortress. She did so in the name of helping other places under attack by the imperial army.
Then she happened to come across Orca’s unit, and as soon as she saw Orca, she turned away and planned to run away.
Of course, she could doubt as much as she wanted, but she was sure that since this was ‘outside Eden’, Orca would be willing to jump in.
“Their location!?”
“It looks like we’re getting closer!”
In the dusky dawn, they rode across the field on fairy ants and finally approached the level where Orca’s imperial army was visible through a telescope.
Since we were intentionally getting closer to each other in the first place, it was planned that we would meet soon.
“Let’s increase our distance.”
The moment Serenian recognized the enemies, they widened the distance and started running backwards.
“It’s so lax. “Are you that anxious or do you have other thoughts?”
“Go, Excellency. Although our troops have occupied the area, deep down there is still enemy territory.”
Orca also noticed Serenian’s actions. As he mumbled meaningfully, those around him quietly advised him to step down.
There is nothing good about being sucked deep into enemy territory. The subordinates’ mentality was that they wanted to play it safe rather than take risks.
[The seed of the hero must not be left behind. Must be killed!]
But Orca had a secret that could not be told to others. For that secret, Serenian definitely wanted to get rid of it.
“Even if it means delaying the attack on Laria a little, inform the later troops and tell them to set the advance position here. If you do that, if anything happens, there will be no problem as you can just join the junior team. “We continue to pursue the elf queen.”
“Ha, but.”
“It is a fight to the end. “I will completely crush any hope they have left.”
In the end, he decided to chase Serenian. In the meantime, he left behind insurance, but his subordinates who would follow him were dying at his risk-taking behavior.
Of course, Orca has been winning consecutive battles so far, but it is a miracle achieved through his own force and has little effect on the troops under his command, so his troops are constantly being sacrificed.
“So chase faster! “I will catch them as quickly as possible and finish the job before they do anything foolish!”
“Keep your distance. “We have to get them to their destination!”
They increased their speed and chased Serenian. The Serenian and Eden troops also fled for their lives to ensure a proper performance.
Catching up had to be done near the destination. If you get caught before then, everything will be in vain.
“Ha, look at that. “The queen is really bringing them in.”
A desperate chase continued across the dizzying Eastern Front. Eden’s troops, who had been prepared by Serenian at their destination, which was in the middle of an ordinary forest, discovered them and became agitated.
“Prepare for operation! “We must completely surprise them and defeat them exquisitely.”
To greet those who were running away, they prepared an ambush by decorating the portal entrance with a perfect natural environment.
If you just run away to Eden, no Orca will come after you.
Orca himself was also excited and impatient, so he was planning to stage something to prevent him from making a proper decision. This ambush was planned that way.
Eden’s troops succeeded in the ambush, but were defeated and pushed back. The imperial army will be happy that they won despite being ambushed, and the Serenians hastily escape into the cave heading to Eden.
In that situation, whether she would run to kill her or use her cool-headed judgment and retract her sword was entirely up to Orca’s judgment.
“Preparations are complete. “We may have to fight to the death, but we will all live to see it.”
They each hid in their own way. The dwarves used the vampires’ magic to cover them with shadows, climbed up the trees like forest clans, or even dug trenches to hide inside.
With the use of a spell that interferes with mana detection, a considerable ambush has been completed that is difficult for those who do not know to notice.
“The limit is now!”
“It’s just around the corner. Little bit more.”
A group of troops ran there. They were Eden’s troops led by Serenian.
“!”
But what passed her ear and pierced the body of the soldier running in front was a spear thrown by someone.
“Don’t you have any pride, Elf Queen?”
Orca, who had come running on a horse foaming from exhaustion, and the imperial army were following closely behind.
“I guess both of us are equally tired. Instead of showing your back in an ugly way, why don’t you attack them properly?”
The two forces that faced each other in the forest were out of breath and drew their weapons at each other. Likewise, Serenian, who was catching her breath, bit her lip when she saw Orca, who didn’t seem particularly tired.
Unlike her, who could not fight properly, he still had his strength intact.
“It looks like they put honey on my body. “The regent of the world chases after me, even losing half his army.”
“I love you that much…”
“I never thought that he would reveal his true colors by betraying and killing that beautiful warrior. “Did he really want to reach me so badly?”
His ridicule while laughing. However, unlike before, this time Serenian responded with a smile.
The eyes of Orca and everyone who heard her words widened in surprise at the unexpected counterattack. There were many people who just blinked because they did not understand.
“When I look at the things he does, he seems a little lacking in manliness, so I’m not attracted to him, but I just want him to go home.”
“How dare this b*tch…”
Her provocation ultimately worked well. As the Orca twitched her eyes, shed mana and ground her teeth, the imperial troops around her were shocked.
‘It’s coming.’
“Ugh, wow!”
“Shoot!”
A slash struck by Orca swinging her sword. Serenian sensed it in advance and barely managed to avoid it.
“Charge! “Wipe it away!”
At the same time, the battle began. The imperial army, overwhelmed by Orca’s fierceness, pushed forward, and the Eden side’s troops also desperately fought back and resisted.
“It’s really rude to just blindly attack it.”
“Don’t run away now. “I will definitely cut off his head.”
In the meantime, Orca, whose eyes were sparkling, only saw her, and Serenian, whose eyes were sparkling, also stopped looking at her.
When Serenian, who was not yet able to fight with all her might, tried to retreat as she had planned, Orca lunged forward at once. Now, there was no one on the Eden side who could stop Orca. Several people were cut down by his sword in an instant and blood spewed out.
“Hit!”
“Hawk, it’s an ambush!”
At that time, those who were waiting appeared and attempted to attack the incoming imperial army.
The imperial army, who had actually been caught in an ambush, was greatly embarrassed, and Eden’s troops pushed them back.
“Is this it? “Did you drag me here with a body that doesn’t seem normal just for this?”
“…This will be your grave.”
Even though he was ambushed, he only laughed. Serenian gritted his teeth and glared at him, who laughed at himself without even thinking that he would be the one to be attacked.
This anger of hers was not the anger of her last fight. Such was her pity for others that she was willing to sacrifice their lives in order to more completely trick the orca into feeding them.
