Episode 133. I’ll help too!
Bassrock-
midnight. Several shadows sneaked towards the camp of the Holy Legion.
They were the ghosts who accompanied Deniel and Shiffrin to their safe return.
[-Did they get back well?]
Aaron, who was sitting alone in front of a campfire, greeted them.
[-They returned safely.]
The ghosts nodded and continued their report.
Deniel and Shiffrin traveled through the forest in a short time and safely returned to Elrond.
The world tree’s veil was smaller than before, making the Orcs’ siege tighter, but the ghosts used their racial vision to hide them in the shadows.
[-How are the Orcs moving?]
[-Except for the narrowing of the encirclement, there is no major movement.]
The Ghost pulled out a map and showed it to him.
The position of the orcs was quite different from before, but they did not change the camp itself, only a little closer to Elrond.
‘I’ll have to speed up the departure.’
Aaron muttered to himself while looking at the map.
The narrower the siege, the closer the distance between the Orc units.
The closer they were, the faster the reinforcements would come, so it was better to attack them before the encirclement narrowed further.
“Keter.”
Aaron called to Kether, who stood like a stone statue near the campfire.
She jerked her head like a machine and came in front of Aaron.
“Did you call? Commander.”
“Clear the camp and prepare for battle. We’ll start as soon as we’re ready.”
“All right.”
From noble mtl dot com
Keter nodded and began waking the resting commanders.
There was a small commotion in the quiet campground, and the sleeping people opened their eyes one by one.
“We are finally leaving.”
Nesty, who had been taking a nap by the bonfire, said while stretching.
She put the bruenak at her feet in her hand and patted Gaos on the back sitting next to her.
puck! puck!
“hey. wake up.”
“Coke! Coke!”
Gaos, who was hit by a lightning bolt while dozing off, woke up coughing at the shock of shaking his intestines.
“Oh, sorry.”
“You are… If you wake up with words, where does it get sick?”
“I said it last time, but it didn’t happen.”
Nesty grinned, showing no sign of apologetics.
Gaos waved his hand as if he was about to say something more.
He was always the one to lose by arguing with these guys.
“jin. sprite. Summons.”
[Summons the spirit dwelling in the Cosmos.]
[Spirit is reduced by 10%. After that, it decreases by 1% per minute for each elemental.]
Aaron watched the party prepare for a while before summoning the spirits.
[-Jin appeared!]
[- sprites etc… sorry. I can’t do this.]
[-why! That’s cool!]
[-It’s so embarrassing. If you become a high-ranking spirit, you should have dignity.]
They seem to have gotten used to the summons now, and even after they came out, they chatted naturally.
right! right!
[-hey. friends. Now is not the time to play.]
Aaron smiled and snapped his fingers.
The two of them, arguing over whether it was you or me, came to Aaron’s side as if they were always like that.
[-friend! Did you call?]
[-What can I help you with this time?]
[-Have you talked to the spirits of your forest?]
[-huh. of course.]
[-Now that we’re so close, we even joke around?]
Jin and Sprite nodded excitedly.
They told the hostile spirits of the forest about Aaron’s exploits in the Shadow Forest, and instilled in them the belief that the army he led would save the World Tree.
The spirits of the forest, who were afraid and wary at first, have now become so close that they even exchange jokes with each other.
[-good job.]
Aaron nodded in satisfaction and looked around.
Tree trunks, bushes, under fallen leaves, between leaves.
Hundreds of translucent green canaries were watching this way.
She was a nymph, a forest spirit born in the Great Forest and coexisting with the high elves.
As Jin and Sprite said, there was not much hostility between them.
When they first came in, they used all sorts of plants to attack the Holy Corps, but after hearing the story of the two spirits, they realized that they were not enemies.
[-Nymphs. Thank you for trusting us.]
[-… … Is he talking to us?]
[-I think so?]
[-You can really see us.]
As Aaron spoke, chatter was heard from all directions.
He waited for the commotion to subside, then rummaged through his bag and pulled out something long.
[-wow!]
[-Isn’t that the branch of the water of life?]
[-How could a human have that?]
[-The Shadow Forest’s life water gave it to me as a gift. Jin and Sprite did that.]
The chirping that had subsided at the sight of the branch emitting clear light grew louder again.
Aaron held the branch of the water of life aloft for all the nymphs to see, and circled the camp.
The nymphs chased after him at a distance, like pieces of metal attracted by a magnet.
[-As you may have heard from Jin and Sprite, I am a friend of the Tree of Life in the Shadow Forest. And I heard that the world tree was in danger, so I came here.]
After a while, Aaron took his luck with a gloomy face.
[-If the world tree withers, not only the Great Forest here, but also the life tree in the Shadow Forest will wither.]
He told the spirit how urgent the current situation was at the eye level as much as possible.
The nymphs chatted among themselves, trying to determine whether Aaron’s words were true.
However, it was difficult to easily believe his words because there were not one or two people who came to Daesilim and behaved badly.
Watching their reaction, Aaron waved a branch of the water of life in time for the uproar.
[-If you help me defeat the orcs, I’ll give this to the nymph who helped me the most.]
[-… … .]
The forest, which had been filled with chatter of nymphs, became quiet in an instant.
‘okay. That’s how it should be.’
Aaron smiled inwardly.
By-products from the World Tree or the Water of Life are like a legendary elixir to the spirits.
Normally, a spirit must survive for thousands of years to ascend the hierarchy, but by absorbing the branch of the water of life, it could be reborn as a higher-level spirit at once.
Climbing the hierarchy is the greatest instinct possessed by spirits.
With the great cause of rescuing the world tree, it was impossible to refuse.
[-… … I will help you!]
[-me too! I’ll help too!]
[-me too!]
After a while, one courageous nymph opened her mouth, and the others began to shout, “Don’t give up.”
The quiet forest was quickly filled with thunderous chirping.
[-This feels a bit strange. Is it just me?]
[-so do i. I only said the right things, but it feels like I was cheated.]
Jin and Sprite muttered as they watched the imps raise their voices.
* * *
growl-! growl-!
Near Elrond. West of the World Tree’s Veil.
Thousands of Orc troops fell into a sound sleep.
The tens of thousands of Orcs who invaded Elrond built a wide siege after being driven to the outskirts by the World Tree.
They knew that the power of the World Tree was not infinite, and that if they waited outside the veil, they would eventually prevail.
It was for this reason that most of the troops slept stretched out.
The high elves watched from the inside of the tent and did not dare to come out.
At first, there was an attempt to break through the weak part of the siege, but each time, rather than breaking through, only damage accumulated, so they eventually gave up.
“How long ago did you two enter?”
“It sucks. They must be scouts.”
The orcs who were on watch had a chat while munching on the food they had captured.
In fact, they were vigilant, but they were no different from other orcs.
The warchief gave orders to catch and kill all who entered and exited the World Tree’s tent, but those who obeyed were few and far between.
At most, the only people entering and leaving the tent now are those who are gathering or scouting outside.
Even if they flew and crawled, it was impossible to prevent the destruction of Elrond.
“It sucks. But what does it smell like?”
“What smell? You’re eating it, so of course you’ll smell it.”
“no. Not this. human smell. A lot of that too.”
“… … That’s right.”
The two orcs put down their food at the strange smell wafting from far away.
As I focused my sense of smell, the smell became clearer.
On the other side of the veil of the World Tree. Something was approaching in the dark woods.
“Should I wake the kids?”
“okay. I guess… … .”
Kurrr-!
The moment I was about to get up, I felt a great tremor in the forest, and black vines sprouted from under my feet.
“Eh, what is this… Wow!”
“Ooh!”
Thousands of vines sprang up from all directions, covering the two orcs as well as all the sleeping soldiers nearby.
“Aww!”
“What is this!”
“Everyone wake up! right now!”
“help me!”
The quiet camp quickly became a mess.
“Light! Please open my eyes in the darkness!”
“Full-arms charge-!”
“Give divine punishment to the enemies of the Goddess!”
“Wow!”
The next moment, a pure white light emerged from the dark forest, illuminating the son-in-law, and people in ranks poured out like waves.
“It’s an assault! attack!”
“powwow! Stop them!”
“no! We have to cut this damn vine first!”
The orcs, paralyzed by the tree vines, were chained to the ground and struggled, each giving a different order.
“Wait! I am doing it now!”
After barely freeing themselves from the vines, the black sorcerers began to cast spells to free their colleagues.
But even that wasn’t easy.
“Cuck!”
“Turn it off!”
A mysterious shadow crept in between the confused orcs and began attacking the shaman.
“Assassin!”
“He who is released, protect the shaman!”
“dog sound! Why are those humans trying to protect the shaman?! We have to block it from the front!”
“You stupid bastard! I’m going to protect you from the shaman! Without a shaman, we all die anyway! Are you refusing the Commander’s order now!”
“I am the commander too! What tribe are you from!”
“Why am I saying that! Start with yourself!”
As the operation of troops became difficult, conflicts of opinion broke out everywhere, and eventually a fight broke out between commanders.
‘It’s going well.’
same time. Standing at the forefront of the holy corps, Aaron watched the situation on the battlefield and smiled.
The tree vine that first attacked the orc troops was, of course, the work of a nymph.
With the power of an orc, he would cut off a vine like that and line up in a minute, but he couldn’t come to his senses because the army came at the same time as the vine.
The Holy Army faithfully carried out what Aaron taught them.
One paladin and ten combat priests always fought as a pair, and when they caught an orc, they always cut off their heads to prevent the activation of Dark Frenzy.
In addition, as the ghost troops, including Raven, penetrated deeply and killed even the shamans, the Orcs completely lost their chance to counterattack.
Woo-woo-!
As the one-sided battle was in full swing, a loud trumpet sound was heard from afar.
A nearby Orc unit seemed to have noticed the situation here.
The key to this operation is to enter the World Tree’s veil before the nearby troops join in.
If you delay, Orcs from both sides will come and trample your allies.
‘It will take about five minutes.’
After estimating the distance, Aaron broke through the chaotic battlefield and ran towards the World Tree’s veil.
‘… … Queen?’
Surprisingly, on the other side of the veil, the High Elf Queen, Tinuviel, came out directly with the Royal Guard.
By her side, Deniel and Shiffrin, whom she had sent earlier to deliver the news, could also be seen.
[-Aaron Oddhaken of Delor meets the Queen of the Great Forest.]
Aaron bowed politely and looked at Tinuviel’s reaction.
But she just glared at him with cold eyes, without any reaction.
‘what?’
Aaron hardened his impression in a bad feeling.
After waiting for a while, Shiffrin, who had been standing by her side, came forward.
She turned to Tinuviel with a confused face and said hesitantly.
[-The Queen declined the offer. The veil will not be lifted.]
