Chapter 120-121 (1/2)
Chapter 120 – Before the Storm
Crockta's injuries weren't recovered yet so the troops of the Luklan Mountains set off first Crockta's group was able to catch up quickly on the undead wyvern so they decided to delay their departure
Crockta had atime to heal were recovered in seconds Indeed, Crockta was an a warrior
”Crockta is a very iure,” said Gorit, Caburak's father
He was in change of the Luklan Mountains Alliance
“He is one of the keys in this war Kyulkyul!”
“What would the north be like if it weren't for him?”
Crockta hadn't ruinedCalmahart's plans just one or two times Even the fate of the Luklan Mountains wouldn't have been assured without Crockta Theyfor the Great Clan
”Father”
“What is it?”
“Calot this madness?”
Calh to slaughter the other species in order to unify the north and invade the continent He followed the logic of power and respected the strongest of the warriors: those who had inherited the position of great chieftain by defeating the previous one
He was cruel but also able to restrain himself However, he beca in the Great Clan was determined by the chieftain; therefore, the ed, the Great Clan did as well
“I don’t know very well, but I do re It hen he sent a er to join him”
“When was that?”
”I guess it was around two years ago”
”Umm…”
“The conditions were filled with nonsense so I couldn't accept At that ti us as slaves”
Caburak nodded as his eyes deepened in understanding“I understand”
“Why?”
“Just curious Kyulkyul!”
“This brat, right now you're soins, be careful not to get involved too much”
“Kyulkyul, don'taway”
Gorit couldn't get rid of his concerned expression Caburak touched his father's back as if he wasn't worried
He looked around at the Luklan allied forces The orc warriors were leading the charge while the dark elves and gno arrows, crossbows, and all sorts of tools This was a benefit created bythe abilities of all three species It waswith axes or of dark elves launching volleys of arrows
However, he had an oht, these soldiers or crude weapons ht not be necessary in the first place
”No…”
He shook his head The following battle would decide the future Naon and Spinoa were both important cities that couldn't be left for the dark elves It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all other cities could collapse as long as these two remained
In addition, Spinoa had the world tree Occupying Spinoa would never be easy as long as the world tree was present
So Caburak wondered about the Great Clan's next move
Head to Naon, it would probably fall Even if Spinoa's personnel went out to support thereat chieftain and the Great Clan It would be difficult unless they moved the world tree
However, the dark elves couldn't give up Na down Naht be too weakened to take Spinoa
Caburak thought that would be the best way But…
“Where is the Great Clan heading? Is it still the same direction?”
“According to the most recent news…” Gorit scratched his head ”They see to Spinoa, but it still isn't certain”
“……!” Caburak stopped “Why?”
The Great Clan was leaving Naoal was the world tree Their goal was neither the territory of the dark elves nor their submission, but the acquisition of the world tree
“…No”
Caburak closed his eyes He prayed to the na
“Those guys have turned to this place”
”Yes”
”Understood”
Zelkian nodded
Jenado, an apostle of the world tree like Zelkian, bowed and withdrew
Zelkian stood on top of the world tree From the summit of the world tree, he could see the distant scenery It was a beautiful scenery allowed only to apostles
But the landscape no longer looked beautiful to Zelkian The cities of dark elves, as well as his children, had all been devastated There seemed to be no life in the distant cities Nurido, Emeranian, and Yekator, places he occasionally visited, were nowreduced to rubble and piles of dead bodies
Everyone had died and perished
Zelkian felt a burning pain in his chest
”Kuock…”
There was a deep pain The world tree wasIts painful e Zelkian to suffer He knelt on one knee and waited for the world tree to cal like the world tree wouldthat pleasure
Zelkian, who groaned in pain for a while, finally caught his breath The world tree beca on
“Hey, relax I am also in pain”
A branch of the world tree rose and hit Zelkian's legs The two fought for a while
“Anyway, I'”
Zelkian's gaze moved
There were things filling up the plain near Spinoa
Orcs It was a really large aron, it seemed to be several times their number
Further While the dark elves locked their gates and enjoyed their own peace, the great chieftain continued fighting and subduing orcs Fighting was part of their species' culture It was different from the dark elves' experience ar
And the great chieftain
Zelkian borrowed the power of the world tree to capture his appearance He was er than the other orcs, an oppressive appearance Apresence
“……!”
His chest burned again Zelkian closed his eyes and took deep breaths The world tree shook Calh there were many slaves, he made only a small nu his power The orc soldiers following Caled the dark elves on
The world tree was furious It also becaer He opened his eyes in order to carve the appearance of Calive him Zelkian confirmed his face
And…
Their eyes met
“……!”
He are of Zelkian He gazed at Zelkian and smiled, his eyes a clear blood color
A reat chieftain's forehead—a red, bizarrely twisted crossAt that nized it and flinched The world tree shook for a short time The dark elves inside the world tree screa
Zelkian asked the world tree, ”Just what is that?”
But the world tree didn't answer
”He looks like an apostle Who is he the apostle of?”
The world tree was silent The answer that came from it was difficult to understand
Zelkian shrugged “Well, ill be fighting soon Are you scared?”
The world tree slapped his head
Zelkian grumbled, ”You are very violent Tree brat Ah, stop!”
He tried to find the great chieftain again, but Caliant reat chieftain was probably an apostle like him
Who was the existence behind the great chieftain? As a result of the great chieftain's appearance, there was a high probability of fighting over the world tree It wouldn't be easy to borrow the power of the world tree The world tree had a dirty nature, but it wasn't a good fighter
As he worried about the future battle, the world tree tapped his shoulder
”What?”
The world tree pointed to the sky Zelkian's gaze followed the direction that it was pointing Sohed as he saw it
“What the, those people? What are they riding?”
Crockta, Tiyo, and Anor were rushi+ng through the sky and heading towards Spinoa on the undead wyvern, Boro Crockta had bandages on his body but he seemed fine Zelkian had been worried after his battle with Cal
HisCrockta was a warrior who had already shaken the north several times He had rescued several cities fro, they couldn't be left out Zelkian laughed
Dark elves had gathered from all over and reinforce as the world tree existed, the dark elves were one The Great Clan or the great chieftain didn't matter
Zelkian opened his ar the landscape of Spinoa Beyond it was the Great Clan
“Yes, let’s end the great chieftain”
The world tree trembled in response
The orcs gathered in front of Spinoa It seemed like the Great Clan decided that the decisive battle would be at Spinoa instead of Naon
As a result, the dark elves guarding Nath The walls were reinforced to becoher and tens of thousands of arroere prepared Jathened the defenses around Spinoa
“A”
Crockta watched the scene froest battle he ever experienced in Elder Lord
”The number of orcs is terrible dot…”
Tiyo watched from beside him on the wall and muttered in a stricken voice
“Too bad dot If this were Quantes, I could've wiped the cannons…”
“Instead you have General”
”That's right dot This will deal harsh dae to the orcs Huhut”
“A tragedy”
Crockta turned his head away fro for the fight Driden's sci a co his own trajectories He felt Crockta's gaze and glanced over
Radet, who led the aron, and Jamero also appeared The troops frohout the city in preparation for the battle
And…
Crockta looked back
The pillar of the world, the world tree was standing in the center of Spinoa and overlooking everything Standing on top of it was Zelkian He waved his hand Crockta waved back
“Crockta Are you ready dot?” Tiyo asked
Crockta followed Tiyo's gaze The large ar forward Leading thereat chieftain, the e ar with him The orcs that covered the plains marched towards Spinoa
Crockta held Ogre Slayer in his hands
“I was born ready”
”What dot? Then I was ready from my mother's womb dot”
Crockta and Tiyo started laughing
Tiyo laughed aloud as he said, “Crockta, I'reat adventure”
“Why are you already a”
”Hoh Really dot?”
Crockta smiled
“After the war, there will beDon’t spread it around”
”Kahahat, how fun!”
