chapter 19
19 – #019 Is it okay to call it someone else’s world?
A large group of soldiers formed an encirclement in the new abode of the elves.
“The preparations are complete, Your Majesty.”
“Hmm. Nice.”
The emperor stretched out his hand in front of him with a smile on his face.
“Gentlemen! Don’t feel pressure in dealing with the elves! They are an unscrupulous people who didn’t help humanity and went under the protection of the World Tree when the demon army first attacked humanity! Your parents , They are the ones who played grass pipes in the woods when brothers and sisters died!”
At the emperor’s cry, the soldiers’ eyes began to fill with anger.
“They’re just evil on the continent! If the demon king army tried to dominate everything on the continent, they’d become dark elves and live by licking the demon king army’s shoes! Keep in mind!
Kung, thump, thump.
The sound of drums covers the forest, frightened birds soar into the sky and run away.
“Everyone keep in mind! Elves have never truly helped us humans! But they are protecting Undertaker! The one who liberated the demonic sword! What does this mean! Elves are willing to accept the demonic sword? In other words, they are trying to dominate humans using a demonic sword!!”
Some of the soldiers’ eyes flashed ‘Really?’.
“The elves have revealed their true colors! By accepting the demon sword liberator, they are dreaming of the resurrection of the demon king! They are trying to exterminate humans and spread their ambition to make the continent their own!!”
But I can’t say anything.
When the emperor shouts, “It’s not like that!”
“In the end, elves do not see humans as beings living together on the continent, but still view humans as a lowly and inferior race! Everyone, raise your swords! Let’s clearly show those arrogant elves the power of us humans! It shows that the owner is a human, not anyone else! It is us humans, not elves, who will defeat the demon lord and become the masters of this continent!”
“Waaa!!”
Shouts resound.
Anger-filled shouts shake the forest.
Still, there is only a creepy silence inside the forest.
The elves must have noticed the siege by the humans.
And right now, the elves must be wasting time discussing what to do with each other.
In between.
“Let’s see who is the truly superior race! Let’s go, mankind! We will capture all the elves and enslave them! And we will subdue the owners of the magic swords that the elves are protecting! !!”
Koo Goo Goo Palace.
Accompanied by the clanking of their armor, the knights and soldiers all started running into the forest.
In preparation for an unexpected interception, I ran with a large shield in front of me, and soon my prediction was met.
PABABABAK!
“Red raid!!”
Something like a stone flew and hit the knight’s shield.
“They shoot magic arrows! Put mana into the shield!”
As the leading knights shouted loudly, the shields of the soldiers began to glow with mana, and the arrows flying from the depths of the forest hit the shields and fell powerlessly to the ground.
“Hey! Dirty elves! Kneel before our human magical weapons that have been improved and developed in the battle against the Demon Lord’s Army!!”
The knights pounded their shields from the inside and moved forward.
“That’s a siege net.”
Seeing that no one was hurt and gallantly advancing, the emperor hesitated and turned his head behind him.
“Isn’t that right, my fiancée?”
“Of course, Your Majesty.”
Femme fatale Mincena rubbed her body, burying her face in the Emperor’s chest.
“Thanks to Your Majesty, I think I can defeat the Fallen Hero who released the magic sword. Alas, Your Majesty. I really love you…You know?”
“Of course, of course, of course…!”
She slipped her hand down with one hand at the same time, then accidentally brushed the emperor’s sensitive spot and smiled broadly.
“Lady Senna. As soon as I catch Undertaker, I will cut off his wrist even if I raise my sword myself. And I will make sure to find out where your lost hand is, whether it is in the desert or in the middle of the sea. “
“Thank you very much. Thank you very much.”
Page.
Min Sena kissed the emperor on the cheek, and the emperor smiled brightly for a moment before hardening her expression.
“Forward! Forward! And be vigilant-“
“Aagh!!”
Screams rang out from the soldiers heading into the forest.
Suddenly, the soldiers’ ankles were entangled in the tree vines, their bodies hung upside down on the branches, and soon the stems snapped off.
Clumsy.
Soldiers who fell from a height of several meters died as they were.
His neck was broken, or his head fell off, and his limbs trembled as if convulsions had occurred, and he stopped breathing.
“It’s a trap! Watch your feet!”
The moment the soldiers bowed their heads at the urgent cry of the knight.
PABABAK!!
Arrows were pierced almost vertically into the heads or back of the necks of the bowed soldiers.
“Kuh, this is…?! It’s a howitzer from the sky! Protect your head too! An arrow is stuck in the top of your head!!”
The knights hurriedly read the trajectory of the arrows, but the ground in the forest was already stained with red blood.
“These filthy elves…!”
“How dare filthy humans trespass the elven forest!!”
Above the tree.
Elves with bows appeared and began shouting with mana in their voices.
“I am Elphidia! The guardian of the forest! We elves will not succumb to the aggression of you humans!”
“Shut up! Didn’t you guys protect the fallen warrior who released the demonic sword!”
“Noisy! There is nothing to talk about with humans being deceived by the woman who conceived the seed of the demon king!
“… Cheeky.”
The emperor clenched his fist at the forest guardian elf’s words and put his hand on the scabbard.
“Lady Senna. I will definitely kill them.”
“No, my love. How could the Emperor try to move himself? Leave it to the soldiers. Please… Don’t leave me.”
“Keuugh, Lady Sena…!”
The emperor squinted at his hand gripping the end of his sleeve.
“Ha.”
Chae Yu-ri, who was watching from the side, laughed at the two and took out her cane.
“Emperor. Didn’t I say it was okay to kill all the elves?”
“Yes, Red Mage. Elves…”
“Really?”
Yuri Chae smiled broadly and held his staff high.
“Then can I farm some experience points and pass on the soldiers for a while?”
* * *
While Elphidia and the forest guardians are buying time.
Through spirit magic passed down to the elven royal family, the passage to the far, far south was completed.
“Go ahead, Lord Undertaker. The Spirit’s Road will be closed immediately after you leave, so feel free to leave.”
Queen Elbnest has succeeded in opening the road leading to the south.
If it were like the demon army, the demon army would have already arrived near the altar before the spirit path opened, but the emperor’s soldiers couldn’t even break through the guardians of the forest.
“Promise me. No one will die.”
“Of course. I promise. I have no intention of meeting you again in a dead state. But before I leave.”
Elvennest embraced me in his chest and patted me on the back.
“…The forest will protect you. My protection.”
“It’s not like I’m receiving a blessing I’m so grateful for.”
“Whoa, the hero is a man too. Do you not like it?”
“Thank you.”
To the extent that I unintentionally received a service that was not a service, I will definitely live and achieve my purpose.
“Then, the path of the spirit-“
“Queen!! This is an urgent report!!”
A guardian of the forest came running in contemplation.
“The enemies have set fire! They have set fire to the whole forest!”
“What…!”
Elvennest’s white face became even paler.
“You’re going to… Burn this big forest? How much did you set it on fire?”
“The entire siege was set on fire! We are now surrounded by a barrier of flame!!”
“Keugh…! Humans…!”
“The Red Wizard’s actions are clear.”
After examining the condition of the spirit road behind me, I took out the demonic sword Kramuta.
“I don’t think I’m in a situation to go alone. If I stay still like this, the elves will be surrounded by flames and die.”
It does not lose in the forest.
If the forest burns, the elves lose.
“Since the battle happened because of me, I will join you.”
“You have to…!”
“My friend’s family is in danger of getting hurt because of me, and I’m not a piece of scum that will shamelessly run away alone. Queen, are you trying to put me on a par with the trollians?”
“……I can’t do that.”
The queen pulled her hair into a ponytail and tied it behind her.
“I’m worse than the warrior or my son, but I was a guardian of the forest in my own way. I won’t hold you back.”
“Believe me. Rather, we have two options right now.”
I pointed the way to her spirit to the queen.
“When the young elves first escaped through the Spirit’s Path, and I ran away through the Spirit’s Path at the end.”
It is familiar to open a space movement portal and run away in front of a powerful enemy.
“You can just run away just like you did against the Demon King’s army. Those who can fight risk their lives to buy time until the non-combatants run away.”
Right now, I even ran away from Kramuta through a dimensional door.
“What about the other one?”
“The opponent is not the Demon King’s army. And fortunately…”
I blew mana into the demonic sword.
“Here is the sole survivor of the party of warriors who defeated the demon king. And there are 200 elves who can fight.”
Go oh oh.
The wind blows.
“Kills those who get in the way and clears the way.”
As if someone was guiding the road with the wind, a rough wind began to blow.
“If there are b*tches who come out as warriors, I will cut off their heads with a demonic sword. I will.”
Words I had never been able to properly say until I defeated the Demon King.
“I will pave the way from the front.”
