137 – Elves and Dark Elves – 2
“Currently, the main branch of the Elven country is here, and the main branch of the rebel Dark Elf army is here.”
After passing the exam, a day has passed.
Thanks to Bianca’s consideration, I took a break and went to her office at Emilia’s call.
“Hmm…Dark elves occupy more land than I thought?”
“Dark elves represent a small elite. One dark elf warrior equals five elf warriors. Considering the nature of the wooded forest, no matter how strong we were, we couldn’t stop the invasion of the Dark Elves altogether.”
“Hmm…”
Common Continental people thought that the civil war in the Elf country was a simple rebellion, and that it would soon be suppressed.
However, after receiving an explanation of the current situation from Emilia’s aide, it was clear that it was foolish to think that the rebellion would soon be suppressed.
“There was a reason you asked me to subdue the dark elves.”
To put it bluntly, the current disadvantage was the elves, that is, Bianca’s side.
In terms of population, there were dozens of times more simple elves than dark elves, but most of the elves were non-combatants. But, on the other hand, the Dark Elves were a crazy fighting race where 9 out of 9 pennies were fighting.
So, if the dark elves and the pureblood elves stick together, the dark elves will win, and the disgraceful incident of losing 30% of the territory of the elves has occurred.
“Fortunately, Claude, the core of the Dark Elf army, was captured.”
“Dogs are the key?”
“Isn’t it natural? Claude was second in the Dark Elf army in terms of skill. A whopping 87 levels.”
“…?”
Come to think of it, I didn’t use [Emotion] On Claude. It was because he came out as an author from the beginning, so he didn’t feel the need to write [Emotions].
But are you level 87?
Ah, so you came to catch Emilia? (Emilia is level 88)
“…You don’t seem to know how strong you are.”
“Well… I think I am above average.”
“It’s not funny.”
I’m serious.
There are so many monsters out there, am I not average?
“Anyway, there must be a reason for calling me. What?”
“Simple.”
Smile.
Emilia pointed her finger at the dark elf stronghold drawn on the map with a beautiful smile.
From noble mtl dot com
“Total warfare, after a week, our elves will send all their forces to the dark elves stronghold.”
“…Is it possible?”
“It is possible. Reinforcements will come from not only you, but also from the Holy Nation.”
“Reinforcements from the Holy Kingdom?”
The Sacred Kingdom, was it the name of the Solios Sacred Nation?
I heard from Veronica that as a religious country that believes in the goddess, people born in the sacred country have a certain probability of being born with the gift of healing magic.
Also, a saint appears once in a generation, and it is said that a saint is born with a special unique ability, similar to the ability of the people of another world to [Transfer to another world].
“Yes. I heard that the famous saintess is directly leading the knights and requesting support.”
“The saintess is coming in person? Isn’t she like bringing the owner of the next door to work at someone else’s house?”
“Through this incident, he surely wants to bring light to our country of elves. The country of elves is basically a country with a strong tendency to be closed.”
Saintess, I didn’t make it to the top 4 on the continent, but that was because of the uniqueness of the nation, the Holy Nation.
Basically, the Holy Nation has a strong closed tendency like the Elf Nation. The difference is that the Elf country restricts special products and various items, while the Holy Nation promotes exchanges but hides talented people?
In short, it means that they do not disclose their own high-level strong players.
The representative examples were the saintess and the leader of the Holy Knights.
“If it’s a saint… they say it’s similar to the 4 continents.”
“I would be like that if I were a saint. However, this great saintess is still very young. Did she just say she turned 20 now? She must be at a low level as much as she is. If her mother’s prediction is correct, she should be in the 70s or 80s.”
Although being in the 70s level in your 20s was a huge thing in itself, it wasn’t a very exciting story for me.
There are people who reached level 60 in less than half a year, so what…
“And above all…if the saintess comes, she will come with her direct order of knights.”
“Do you think the knights under the direct control of the saintess are strong?”
“Strong. Since it is an armed group made up of only the strongest people in the Holy Land, it has to be strong.”
What kind of knights escorting a holy woman are the strongest military group in the Holy Land? Your belly button is bigger than your stomach.
“Then did you send the Holy Nation’s important forces to the Elf Nation?”
“That is not true. Because the commander of the Holy Knights will still remain in the Holy Nation. According to my mother, the commander of the Holy Knights is a strong man second only to the top 4 on the continent.”
As expected, the world is wide and there are many strong people.
Of course, it is true that the name of the four continental rivers itself raises doubts, but that does not mean that they are weak. Because Bianca, the elven queen, was definitely stronger than me.
The problem is that there are monsters stronger than the 4 continents.
For example Mars… Veronica… Celeste…
“Then your plan is to take the saintess and her knights on an all-out attack?”
“Yes. Now, without Claude, is the worst base.”
“Hmm…”
There is no problem with Emilia’s plan. If I had a saintess who was powerful, though not as strong as the top 4 continents, and the Knights, who were said to be the strongest armed group in the Holy Kingdom, Emilia at level 88, and me with skills comparable to the top 4 continents, I would be able to easily subdue the Dark Elves.
But why?
Why do you feel so insecure?
“Is there something wrong?”
“No…I don’t have…No.”
However, it was only a sense, and the plan that Emilia had devised had no corner to tackle.
The only problem is that too many troops are moving at once? The Dark Elves will surely catch you before you reach the Dark Elves’ stronghold.
Of course, being caught doesn’t mean you can stop it.
“Then I will assume that you understand and I will call you in a week. In the meantime, I want you to keep your condition as much as possible.”
“Oh, but let’s ask one thing before we go.”
“What is it?”
At Emilia’s question, I took out a key from her pocket and asked her.
“How do I use this?”
“…A divine key.”
“I’m going to write soon, so there’s no need to waste time, right?”
What I took out was the key to the sanctuary where the sacred object was kept.
Bianca asked me to ask anyone, but Emilia was the most comfortable for me, so she asked her.
“Just use it.”
“…?”
“It is literally. Just infuse it with mana, and the World Tree will move on its own.”
“What was it that simple?”
If it was this easy, wouldn’t it be nice to just tell them?
It is also clear that Bianca resembles Isaac not only in her looks but also in her personality.
“Then come and go.”
“Are you going right away?”
“Yeah, is there a problem?”
“There is no problem, but… The World Tree Sanctuary basically has a different flow of time, so be careful. It’s not constant, it’s different every time, sometimes it’s slow, sometimes it’s very fast.”
…In other words, if you do something wrong, you can come out of the sanctuary 10 minutes later and then 10 years have passed.
“……”
“Of course, there is no big difference, so there is no need to worry too much. No matter how fast time flows, it’s only about 100 times.”
Then why the hell are you talking about that? To make you anxious
“Don’t stare at me too much. It’s just to be careful in case of any unforeseen circumstances.”
“Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Huh?”
“Then have a good trip.”
Emilia waved her hand with her big smile.
He looks after me because he’s older than me.
Giying…
As I blew mana into the key, blue light began to emanate and surround the surroundings. It is a warm blue light that is very familiar to me.
‘…Is this…?’
I’ve seen magic like this before.
It’s probably…
“Prygia’s teleportation magic?”
At that moment, my vision became blurry and at the same time, I began to reflect the scenery of a completely different space.
***
“Is this place?”
Veronica has been out of her house for the first time in a while today, away from her own owner.
The reason she suddenly acted alone was to retrieve the alter ego she had previously planted.
‘I told the clones I planted less than a month ago to gather here, so they should come soon.’
Veronica was located near the entrance of the Elven Forest. In my heart, I wanted to go to the empire myself, but in order to prepare for an unexpected situation, I shouldn’t be too far from Gaon’s side.
‘I wonder if I brought it well..’
Veronica’s alter ego magic was not a perfect form of alter ego magic. The effect itself was not much different from other clone magic, but it was a very flawed magic in that contact between the main body and the clone was impossible.
Maybe that’s why Veronica felt uneasy. She wonders if her own alter ego hasn’t taken care of her ‘her goal’.
But.
‘There’s no way that’s the case.’
No matter how much Veronica’s alter ego’s power is dispersed, she has such a monstrous power that she can’t even be touched unless she is as strong as the top 4 on the continent.
In the labyrinth, there is no one strong enough to subdue Veronica’s alter ego. I was sure of this.
“You’re here.”
Soon, just as Veronica thought, several black figures appeared in the distance.
All of them were duplicates of Veronica’s beautiful appearance.
Also, in the hand of one of the bodies, she was holding a metal cube the size of her fist.
“Come back.”
As Veronica stretched out her hand towards her alter egos, all of her alter egos turned into black smoke and were absorbed into her body.
“Ugh…”
Is it because of the tremendous amount of power that came in in an instant? Veronica couldn’t stand it and let out her moans.
“Haaa you’re about half recovered?”
Veronica clasped and opened her own hand, giving a look of dissatisfaction.
‘Originally, half of the strength…… Thanks to the king, it was solved a lot, but it’s still not enough.’
With half the strength, it was possible to easily destroy a kingdom, but Veronica was not satisfied.
Because with this level of strength, you will never be able to defeat ‘her’.
“Huu ….. First of all, it came into her hands without much trouble.”
Thinking of a woman with her silver hair, Veronica quickly shook her head and erased her thoughts.
Then she looked at the metal cube in her hand.
“The Philosopher’s Stone, as expected, he was carrying.”
