Chapter 188-190 (1/2)

Note: Kokules (I can understand why, they're literally named 'first' 'second' 'third' and so forth), so I decided to use 'Firstborn' 'Secondborn' all the way up to 'Twelfthborn' (Even though they aren't specifically born in that order…, h the Brown Mountain Range

Entering and exiting the trading post was only permitted to a select few veteran elven warriors, and as for the wo elves, they were only told that they were allowed to move between safe cities

The veteran elves, centered around Derek Started scouting the entire Brown Mountain Range without any gaps

It hadn't even been two years since the trading post appeared in the Heinz fiefdo with each other

Although it was quite short, the elves of the Brown Mountain Range had ushered in an era of prosperity

Thanks to that, the Brown Mountain Range was occupied by theof history

Receiving the aura of nature emitted froolden era

Weapons that were teic, which elves had difficulty creating, could be provided to the warriors through trading with the huic swords iic and was now able to unleash more of his prowess

However, a ti after a couple of years of peace

'Both prosperity and crisis coht Derek as he scouted the area with a few other elf veterans

The fact that there were three Trees of Life in the Brown Mountain Range was thanks to the help of a hu was also caused by humans

'How are we elves supposed to accept hu human, recommended that the elves should interact with the humans

He advised that the elves should interact very proactively and learn to differentiate which humans they could befriend, and which humans they shouldn't

Just as he had told thee started to interact with nue that originated fro

Numerous enslaved elves were freed, and the elven warriors becaic-ih……

'…as though we became a part of their society'

Derek, who had lived for a long ti or not

He could not get used to the fact that hu the lifestyle of elves

However, if this was the way they could not fall behind humans, they had to accept this life

'Not like I could change anything just by worrying too'

Derek erased his trivial thoughts froe the elvesa part of hue the fact that the Brown Mountain Range should be protected as the holy territory of elves

”There aren't any signs yet”

One elf spoke

It was one that was around Derek's age

Derek shook his head

”They will not show signs when they attack Let us go elsewhere”

”Yes”

They headed towards the western end of the Brown Mountain Range, suularly to scout around the area without rest It could be seen just how strong their as to protect their holy lands

Although their schedule was arduous, Derek's well-honed concentration did not waver in the slightest

But at that

His actions caused all the others to stop in their tracks as well

”What is it?”

”Did you see solanced towards the south

”Is there soh”

His colleagues voiced out their questions

Derek spoke

”Go on ahead first I will follow after I check it”

”Okay, then”

”Take your time”

The veteran elves departed first

Derek left alone, started ht presence

It was very minute, yet ominous

Derek was only able to notice it as he was on his edge all this tirass, he was able to find so in the air

The green orb was looking at Derek as though it was an eyeball

Derek glared at the green orb

”Who are you?”

He questioned

The green orb did not answer

However, Derek intuitively knew that the orb was listening to hiuess I was found out

The voice rang out with eerie blackafraid, the voice sounded very confident

Derek creased his brows as he felt the black y on his skin

-And here, I wanted to seediscovered the presence ofto the Tree of Life

Derek's face turned red in anger

”And that's your nourishment?”

-Indeed

”Do you realize the importance it has to us?”

-That, I do

”Yet you still ais turned out this way

”So you are aware that you are walking the wrong path”

-Just because har”

”What?”

-Killing and eating animals in order to survive does notis different according to different standards

”So you realize your wrongs from what I hear I hate sophists like you”

-……

”Do you think ill let you? I shall definitely slay you withforward to that

Flash!+

At that ht

The ti the sword out of the scabbard and slashi+ng it was too natural and seeht

The Eye of the Abyss turned into dust after being cut in half

”Kasa”

Kasa, shaped like a flaiant, was summoned

Derek ordered

”Please tell the others to return We are returning to the village”

After nodding, the flaiant flew off to the west

Derek's face was still stiff

'The ene at Count Wolfenburg'sthe royal decree from Alsefon III came from the palace

[The A towards our nation There is no more doubt that war is inevitable

Hence, I decree Count Wolfenburg and his allies to gather at the specified point at the specified date]

Here, ”allies” referred to the examinees Alsefon III did not know the exact contents of the exa had powerful allies wielding supernatural powers

”So we should get going now”

Spoke Odin

I nodded ers and hope everything goes according to plan”

Odin called all the examinees and told thereed beforehand that they were participating in the war, there were no objections now

Everyone decided to depart to the rendezvous area, while I took out my communication device prior to the departure

I called for Baronet Ray the arotten used to using the device now?”

– I can barelysurprised all the time My word, such a peculiar device this is

”Haha, that's good In any case, we are about to head off to war Please protect the fief while I'm out”

– Please don't worry about it Albeit short, the results of training have started showing

”That puts my mind at ease I'll call you back later then”

-Yes, I wish for the best, Count Kim

”Thanks”

After that call, Cha Jihye and I packed up our stuff

I took out all twelve of inally 10 of theo

This was thanks to the fact that I could ta skill when it wasanother type of beast, but I ended up going with a pair of les from the Brown Mountains

The new ones were na the past few months, so their sizes tripled in the le Cha Jihye and I rode on Firstborn's back

The exaet on approached me aardly

”Ah, I really hate to do this”

”Nothing will happen to ht?”

”What if I can't breathe……”

How could I not understand their feelings?

I sighed

”It's completely fine I showed you the test”

Yes

The ones that weren't able to get on the eagles were to be taken by me in oing inside the Virtual space, even after showing them a demo with Cha Jihye

”There there, co back now”

The exaned themselves and approached me I put them all inside the Virtual space one by one

There was one female examinee that refused to enter the Virtual space to the end I wasn't able to put her in if she so desired

However, when I glared at her, the light-skinned girl aardly apologized and obediently entered

”Let's go now, then”

Odin spoke after watching the entire thing

I nodded e beasts flapped their wings and took to the skies

We headed north-east in an arrow-shaped for, Dana showed his leisure by controlling the satellite with his laptop

”The A on the northern border From how the supply chain is quite thick, we may indeed be invaded very soon”

Dana updated us with the new intel

”Please keep watching over they to cause a co somewhere else with the elites”

Spoke Odin

He was the only exa a battlefield, so he took the role of leader for this round He wasn't lacking in other areas either

”Understood”

Replying, Dana kept analyzing the inforh the back of rake eagles were no airplane seats, he was able to do all that on the back of a living beast He was no ordinary guy

”It's beautiful'

Cha Jihye, who rode in front ofher back, I tilted my head

”Huh? What is?”

She silently pointed towards the west

The sky was dyed scarlet fro at that scene, I felt stunned

It looked nothing like the bloodbath that would unfold soon

Note: Sendels isn't (wasn't) a Count He's a Margrave The Korean word for it just literally coh, the author does uess this doesn't h Do you even remember the dude?

”Your humble servant Wolfenbrooke, as well as 32 other people have arrived here per your orders, your majesty”

The 33 of us arrived at the battlefield

As our representative, Odin showed courtesy to the king

Alsefon III, who had come to the battlefield himself with his troops, nodded in satisfaction

”Thanks for co Since the Count and the other heroes are here We may as well have won the war already”

In his words, the nobles around hireedorave Sendels, who conspired with the erave Sendels was the one that was executed for his crimes that were uncovered by Yo Jisoo's teadoeway between the two countries for trading, and it was the core battlefield of this war

As evidence, athered in this place

”You o to the barracks to rest As for Count Wolfenbrooke, you come and talk with me a little bit”

”Yes, Your Majesty”

Odin left with the king, presumably to discuss the war

”Please follow us”

We were led to the barracks by sonated was a sh the facilities were horrible, as this was prepared for war, there were no proble that ere about to go to war

As Cha Jihye and I revealed that ere husband and wife, ere told to use the sao?”

I asked and Jihye replied

”The forces on both sides are very large, so they will not go into a full-scale battle right away They will start with the suess on't need to do anything for a while”

”I do not believe that we have to stay passive”

”Really?”

”We have the surveillance satellite We know all of our eneo to waste In fact, we can be as daring as ant”

Thinking about it, that was true We can see all of their ' to do

Dana analyzed the locations the Aman Empire put their forces in detail with the satellite

A report containing a iven to Alsefon III through Odin

The report even contained the scale and routes of the supply chain of their ene and the nobles were very surprised

The king asked just how they could look into the enemies with so much detail, but Odin just told them that one of the exaet detailed infore fully and as a result……

”An ae quantities”

Odin ca, it was to strike their supply chain

We were aware of the enemy's supply chain in realti the rake eagles, so an ae as they have to feed an entire ar it They have their guards down because the routes aren't battlefields and it's within their country”

”So you want me to fly there and strike them?”

”Yes You wield the flame elemental, so you can burn those rations, can you not? You don't need to go down there and fight too You can just snipe from the skies”

Just as he said, the man for the job was me

There was no reason to refuse

I nodded my head

”Okay I'll do it then”

But at that ti next to o with him”

”Is it really necessary to? It will beby himself”

”This should not be a one-shot

”As there are nuhout numerous areas, the number of units that supply those areas ive us their locations through the co thee other than intel and movement speed

It was coardless of distance

Jihye had extended the plan to bring dae to all of the E about it, nodded his head

”That's a good plan I haven't thought that far”

Currently, the Ado it

The countries that allied theainst them, so they couldn't just concentrate their forces on one country

In other words, there were several supply chain routes leading to different battlefields,the supplies

If we ed to attack all of the the war to victory before it even began

Though, I could do that by myself as well

There were two reasons she decided to follow erous happens

The other was that one was better than two in regards to -term battle
