A Village Has Appeared on My Desktop

Episode 146 – Evidence of development (6)

“They are leaving. Are you pursuing me?!”

“No, for now I’m satisfied with just driving them out.”

The bugs who received a strong counterattack probably didn’t think they would be counterattacked, so they were pushed back and began to retreat.

This time, Liena stood at the forefront and cut down the enemies without hesitation, stopping the excited soldiers. The mutant he was aiming for did not appear, and the priority was to save the elves that were being attacked.

‘As expected, it’s strong.’

And Eve, who was with them, took a breath and looked at Liena and the Arin warriors with shaking eyes.

I recognized it when I first saw it, but I recognized it even more clearly now that we were fighting together like this. Unlike the prejudice against humans that the elves, who had been isolated for a long time, had, the Arryn people were strong.

The same was true for warriors who used skills using mana, as well as regular soldiers. Even when fighting against bugs, they were not behind the elves and actually fought better.

Although it was thanks to the special equipment made with the skills of hunters, Eve had discernment enough to recognize that that was not all.

“Eve, what on earth is going on?”

“Chief…it’s just as you saw.”

At that time, a group of elves hurriedly ran towards Eve, just as they had been fighting. Eve, who recognized the face of the person in the lead, smiled bitterly and pointed at the corpses of the bugs that were slowly disappearing.

“Demons who want to destroy this world have come. “We will survive only by fighting.”

“Well, let alone those monsters. “What the hell are these people?!”

“That too. Because they came to stop those monsters. “Have you not seen us fight together?”

In the trembling voice of the village chief named Luna, Eve calmly explained about the Arin people as if what was coming was coming.

In fact, Eve herself didn’t know much yet, but she was aware that her role was important.

‘I must become a stepping stone.’

It’s not just Luna. Almost every elf I meet from now on will react this way. Some of them will be vehemently opposed, while others, like yourself, will want to cooperate.

In order to properly mediate and unite it, the role of elves like Eve was very important.

“Please believe me. “We must do whatever we can to protect our hometown and our people in this unprecedented situation where demons from outside come rushing in.”

“Can you really trust those people?”

Fortunately, due to Eve’s sincere persuasion, Luna, unlike the village chief of her hometown, showed some understanding. Of course, I still had anxiety, but that wasn’t even the problem.

“I can’t say for sure, but I am sure of this. “I’m sure they will continue to prove themselves in the future.”

Eve did not blindly trust humans, but she did trust what they actually showed and did. He also believed in the firm faith that Riena held.

I thought it was impossible for a being with such strong beliefs to betray me.

“For now, I think it’s right to stop here for today. There are still a lot of them left, and the ones we missed will join the others. “They may attack while everyone is exhausted, so ensuring safety is the priority.”

“Is this human being the human knight you spoke of?”

Riena, who had already given instructions to the others, approached them in a hurried manner. Luna, who flinched, remembered what Eve had explained about Rienna just before and recognized Rienna.

‘Indeed, he is an extraordinary human being. Even though he is a human, he has a purer energy than most of his compatriots.’

Luna, the chief of a village, had insight.

Thanks to Eve, she was able to put aside some of her prejudices and fears and look at Riena, and was even able to recognize Riena’s divine protection energy. The heavenly protection obtained from the game world exudes a mysterious and sacred energy that cannot be easily seen by those who recognize it.

“We are grateful that you helped us fight those monsters together, but we cannot leave our village, which we barely managed to protect.”

“This village is too dangerous to withstand their attacks. “They won’t give up and will continue to attack, and the residents will eventually be unable to protect the village as they grow tired each time.”

Riena advised Luna to leave the village for safety and go to Eve’s Village, where fortification work was in progress. Junyoung had already chosen Eve’s village, the village closest to the portal, as a fortress, and since it was not possible to make every place a fortress, it was an inevitable choice.

“But asking us to abandon our homeland…”

“I’m not asking you to leave forever. All you have to do is evacuate for a while, reorganize, and then take it back. Because we also reclaimed the land that way.

Riena, realizing that there was a possibility, persuaded Luna more cautiously.

In fact, the enemy that took the land that Riena said was not the bugs but the raiders of the grasslands, but it was not wrong since the dwarves were also fighting together to regain their homeland.

“Is it inevitable?”

“Cho, Chief.”

Luna finally nodded to Riena’s persuasion and sighed heavily. Although there were some people who were surprised by that decision, Luna took the initiative and persuaded them.

Thanks to this, even though not everyone was convinced, it was decided without opposition that everyone would evacuate.

“But is it okay? Eve, you said it was okay, but your village chief said.”

“He would gladly allow us to help his people.”

Eve smiled, remembering the village chief’s face, who didn’t seem to give up on Luna’s words. No matter how much they oppose the humans, they won’t be able to go to the extent of driving out their compatriots who have escaped.

“Fortunately, it seems like things have worked out well. “Then let’s move on.”

Riena treated Luna with some courtesy. Following Riena and Luna’s instructions, the humans and elves, who were now groaning from exhaustion after a bloody battle, packed their bags and moved to the next village where defense turrets and walls were currently being built.

“What the hell is this…”

Eve’s prediction was correct. When the village chief saw his compatriots who had gathered together with the humans, he could only tremble and say nothing.

“Have you heard the news?”

“No… I don’t think you have the energy to receive my words.”

Evening when the sun sets. Eve approached the boy who was standing with a worried face. At her words, the boy who was stretching his arms in the air shook his head.

A light wind blowing in those hands. The boy was an elf born with the ability to communicate through the wind spirit, but he continued to fail to communicate with people in other villages and cities.

Either there was a problem with the spirit, or there was a problem with the recipient.

‘This is an undeniable problem that affects all of us.’

Eve sighed and bit her lip as she comforted the boy. A disaster that struck suddenly and without any warning.

The enemies called bugs had no room for negotiation or mercy to spare the weak elderly or children. There’s only one thing they want. Extinction of all living things.

It was a fact that anyone who fought against them could naturally know without the Arryn tribe telling them.

‘We need strength.’

It was a frog in a well. Until a few days ago, Eve, like other elves, believed in their own power and in the brutality of the outside world that had been passed down to them.

However, that belief was wrong, and this was the result that proved it.

“What now? “I need to find another place.”

“I need help. “There must be a way.”

Eve shifted her gaze at the boy’s words. There were Arin people there collecting the bodies of the fallen.

Although they were different races in appearance and way of life, they were at least the same in mourning and commemorating the death of their own people.

After seeing this, Eve concluded that everything she knew about humans was wrong.

“Despite the countless casualties and sorrow, is the reason you came here to fight those monsters really because of the guardian deity you believe in?”

“We have received so much from him.”

Eve approached Riena and asked her about the guardian deity in a serious voice.

It was unusual for an elf who worshiped the World Tree and the ancestor gods to ask about the gods believed in by other races, but Riena couldn’t know that.

“Before we met him, we were just tribesmen who had nothing. “Me too.”

“We also need strength. But…I don’t know if you understand. I don’t know if they will accept it. “We elves cannot follow the guardian deity you believe in.”

“Well, I guess that doesn’t matter?”

Riena, who was answering Eve’s words, laughed. I don’t know anything else, but I could tell you this for sure.

That the god he believes in only wants one, and that faith and faith are secondary issues.

Even if the elves do not worship him as a god, he will not spare any support to the elves if they fight against bugs on the front lines.

He was such a person that he himself fought and worked with and experienced.

‘Forcing faith is useless and unnecessary. Anyway, with His help, those who believe will believe on their own.’

That was Riena’s belief and at the same time, it was the belief of the Arryn people.

This was thanks to the actions and thoughts of Riena, who had the title of the first Holy Knight and the most trusted by the Guardian God, and had a strong influence on others.

“If that’s really the case, I’ll look forward to it too. “Because my desire to fight those monsters is sincere.”

“If it’s true, he’ll know. “It’s that easy for him.”

Eve made a big decision and declared that she was willing to trust him for the sake of her people. Riena nodded without considering whether it was true or not. After all, the God she believed in had the power to determine truth and falsity.

“Has there finally been one?”

In fact, it was just as Riena expected. Eve’s decision, which she was finally able to make through Riena’s efforts to persuade her and the upheaval of reality, resulted in overturning her beliefs and values, and as a result, her body, which was in a neutral state, was marked with a green border, signifying an ally. .

He chuckled when he saw it on the other side of the screen and looked through the Internet files.

It was because he wanted to repay Eve, who believed in him and was the first of the elf clan to be included as an ally.

‘It’s worth it. In order to attract more elves as full allies in the future.’

It was a method that had already been used once on Varun in the past and had proven effective. Bringing a file downloaded from the Internet into reality and giving it as a gift.

What I chose this time was a colorful bow held by a game character.

Although it costs some points to give him a bow that is just fancy and has no special function, he decided it was worth it.
