Chapter 81 – The Sky Clan (1)
‘The speed of construction has also increased a lot. Did those who came first get used to it?’
Now that safety has been secured, the elves are busy building houses.
A new type of house made by making full use of materials that are somewhat unfamiliar to them, such as white and soft clay, coated paper, and toothpick wood. Of course, it is right for first-timers to experience trial and error or feel awkward.
However, the seniors who came and settled before them were different. They have already helped their juniors build houses based on their experiences.
“—!”
“—…”
Looking at it, it seemed that there were also elves who took full responsibility for the construction. They gave instructions to the other elves, found a site for the house, and helped build the house by using various materials.

Not just houses, but warehouses, wells, roads, etc. A specific few were leading and participating in the work.
“Architecture.”
I turned on my cell phone and added one thing to the notepad with notes written on it.
What is written there is what I have been observing the elves in the pots and organizing them in my own way.
For example, what form does the new civilization they are forming take, what do they value, and in what direction do they move?
Once the elves in Eden didn’t use much land and labor to produce food. This is because their food can grow instantly with the power of the World Tree once they are planted. They just harvest it.
The same goes for other resources. Labor and time were not used to produce most of the resources necessary for civilization to develop, such as iron, wood, cloth, and paper.
I give it to you in the finished state. For me, it’s a small speck that I can easily buy at a grocery store, but that’s enough for them. They interacted with the dwarves to obtain metal artifacts, and if they wanted to, they could supply enough iron to break the balance of the other world.
Instead, they used their surplus labor to train troops.
Because what they needed most was force.
Dungeons are about to be opened, with demons protruding from the soil that has been thoroughly inspected and verified. At this point, the dungeon and the death struggle with the monsters emerging from it are the price they have to pay for the growth of a new land and world tree.
First of all, the monsters are aiming for the land where they have to live, and they have to fight the traitor forces to save their people, so armed force was their duty itself.
“More troops are needed. We are still lacking Traitors are our enemies, and demon beasts are also our enemies.”
“How big are they, do you want more troops?”
When Serenian met her right after her comeback. She had let out a sigh as she told me to train more troops.
Taking it as an opportunity, I asked her for her information. Information about the other side of the world that I know little about.
“Actually, I didn’t know much. It was the same when he was active as a high elf at the central meeting. I didn’t care or know how many of my people there were or where they lived. Not just me, but probably most elves as well. However, he said that what Ersilla immediately attempted after taking control of the central meeting was to systematically investigate the facts and make them into data.”
Ersilla, the enemy of Serenian, the leader of the traitors, and the hero of the elves, started with a census as soon as she took full power. And as a result, he also figured out how many Great Forest elves there were in total.
Serenian dug up the fact from those who held him captive.
“150,582 People. That was the entire clan of our forest living in that vast great forest. Aren’t there too many?”
“Yeah, well. It’s not a lot to me, but it’s not a little either.”
According to what I’ve heard, the society of elves in the Great Forest is similar to a tribal union formed by people living in villages. A population that is neither too small nor too many.
It’s my prediction, but it wasn’t a number that would be ignored if they united as one. First of all, regardless of age or gender, everyone deals with a special power called mana.
The problem is that Eden’s elves are still less than a thousand.
“…I’m not that concerned. Because we are stronger.”
However, Serenian smiled faintly and spoke of hope.
Better armed, powerful guardians called fairy ants, and even a real sense of training through battles with terrible monsters. Clearly, the elves of Eden were rapidly growing stronger.
‘Of course, I’m still lacking in armaments.’
I smiled and looked away. Those carrying the iron blocks that had been piled up in the warehouse were moving them somewhere along with the fairy ants.
What Serenian needs to train his army is more weapons. Cooperation with the dwarves was essential for them, but it took more time.
“Hmm?”
Then I saw something in my eyes. An elf who hurriedly returned here through the rift. The unique black leather outfit is a leather armor made by processing the back armor of a witch’s daughter-in-law.
And I know who the people wearing those clothes are. It was Leon, the leader of the special operation unit active outside, who immigrated to this potted world after Serenian, Ren, and Leah siblings.
“—!”
His expression, urgently looking for Serenian, is unusual. It seemed that something else had happened in the outside world where there was no wind.

“Did the dwarves promise you supplies?”
“Yes. He wants more iron, since he can make any amount. So we need to move as soon as possible.”
Because of the transparent barrier that can neutralize the attacks of monster moths, Serenian, who was relieved, had to pay attention to other parts this time, as befits a being who rules this place.
Watching the pieces of daggers being moved around, she received a report from Urea, who was in charge of trade with the dwarves whose dens had entrances, as well as communion with fairy ants.
“I’m glad. No trouble.”
After hearing the report, Serenian let out a sigh of relief. The Dwarves, who had mastered the art of making and selling weapons through the Great War, accepted orders from the Elves without difficulty, and even asked to increase trade.
“To be honest, I am a little anxious. As the dwarves say, the black iron that came down from the sky is quite a rare item. I think the more the volume is released, the more attention will be drawn.”
On the other hand, Urea’s face was rather stiff. What she pointed out was something Serenian hadn’t thought of before.
“But I can’t help it. Right now, first of all, we have an armed and proper army…”
“Hey, my queen!!”
But neither of them could talk further about the matter. It was because someone urgently called out as Serenian answered, biting his lip.
“Leon.”
Serenian recognized him and was taken aback. Leon, who is active outside, came running with an urgent face. While Yurea saw his face, clicked her tongue, and turned away, Leon, who had come running, stood in front of Serenian.
“What the hell is going on?”
“We figured it out. What the traitors in the center dare to do!”
Leon looked a lot more excited than usual. With that appearance, Serenian intuited that there was shocking news.
“Please speak calmly. What did you find out?”
“They are trying to build an army by conscripting their own people.”
Leon only to her once, in her trembling voice, he reported what he had seen.
Serenian was also surprised and blinked at the news for a while.
“Dae, what the hell is that?”
“…They also started planning in earnest.”
The true Leon managed to unravel a more detailed story.
‘That one?’
When Leon, who has teamed up with Sera and several others, walks around the Great Forest for his mission.
They came upon a map and witnessed a shocking sight near a village in the northwest.
“What the hell is that?”
“Quiet. Are those humans? There are traitors beside them.”
Leon lowered his figure and observed the place. All the villagers came forward to confront the dispatched people, so much so that the elves could feel the agitation even in this distant place.
‘It is impossible to step out right now. But what the hell are you doing?’
Leon, who figured out the number of opponents and judged that it was too risky to fight now, did not step forward and just watched.
How long did the unrest last? The elves who had suddenly gathered began to return to their homes. I saw people hugging each other and crying. At least, it looked very confused.
“Le, Leon! They’re taking the villagers away!”
Soon a good number of elves were pulled out of the village and taken somewhere.
The crew members, whose families had been forcibly taken away, were frightened and were ready to fight right away, but Leon suppressed and calmed them down with his miraculous reason.
“Damn it! Follow me at once I need to hear what’s going on!”
In the end, when all the enemies were gone, they hurried toward the village.

And that was the news I heard there.
The center recruits elves from each tribe to raise an army.
