Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Chapter 172 – Colossal Power (2)

“Even though they are from different clans, they are the same elves. I can’t stand still when I say I’m going to rescue them.”

“Now, wait. Leon, are you going too? The Queen didn’t bother calling us. He says he can just keep his seat.”

“…Still, I want to participate.”

Deneb, the central city of the Great Grove. Leon and the special operations team, who no longer had to sneak around, were staying here and cooperating with the people of the Great Forest in various ways.

In the meantime, when he heard the news delivered by his colleague, Bin, he wanted to step forward, contrary to the expectations of the people around him.

“You are serious.”

“Yes. Ruri, I don’t know if you understand, but I’ve been through so much in the past that I couldn’t meet you.”

Laughing bitterly at Ruri’s sigh, he stood up and looked out the window.

Most of the parts damaged by the series of disturbances have been repaired, and the seedlings of the World Tree, which used to be a roadside tree, are already growing rapidly, growing over several tens of meters.

All human forces who dared to commit ugly tricks were expelled, and the traitor forces that followed Ersilla were also disintegrated, punished, and isolated, and are now serving Serenian-led Great Forest.

If you look at it like this, everything seems to have worked out. The materials spouting out of Eden were uncommon in quantity and speed, and in fact, Great Forest changed rapidly even though all communication with the outside world was cut off.

In fact, looking at the outside scenery, such as the sunlight shining through the dense forest and the sparkling vegetation reflecting it, it was such an illusion.

Because here in the middle of the Great Forest was so quiet and peaceful.

“But this peace is unstable. The evil enemies and traitors who tried to burn the world tree and invade us are still alive outside the forest, and there are plenty of enemies everywhere who will attack us at any time.”

Leon knew from his experience that this peace was blindfolded and aung.

Actually, the elves of the Great Forest are currently isolated. The forces around them were all predators who were looking for the Great Forest, and they had already exposed their teeth.

Right now, they say that they are just wary of each other, but Leon has already confirmed that they are blocking several roads leading to the great forest and isolating them thoroughly.

The elves already knew that if they cut off supplies and continue to wage a war of attrition, they were obviously doing this in anticipation that the Great Forest’s combat power would continue to decline.

“That is why we must build up our strength and respond positively. At the same time, we need more allies. Have you forgotten how much Eden and the gods there take care of us? The God of Eden is not looking this far.”

“You seem to think that this attack the queen is planning is an opportunity for us to make allies.”

“He is a talented person.”

Leon smiled faintly at Bean’s words. The Serenian he had seen was a powerful monarch.

Eden and the elves of the Great Forest appealed to him to save other people in danger and gained support, but in fact Serenian did not move simply with sympathy or recognition after becoming a leader.

“If the Snowflake Clan, whose livelihood was destroyed, migrated to Eden, they would become allies. And thanks to Eden’s specificity, they can’t even fight back unless they find the entrance. In addition, the dwarves’ territory is in the northeastern part of the continent, quite far from here. It is impossible to make the enraged enemies team up with the forces around the Great Forest to attack us.”

“There were quite a few intentions behind it.”

Leon pointed to the map on the table, and Ruri also nodded. In fact, the preemptive strike Serenian attempted seemed to have little risk compared to the benefits.

This was also the result of using Eden’s characteristic of transcending space.

“Are you going to Eden? Alone?”

“There are many people who want to be with Ruri, but it is also a duty to protect this place.”

Leon, who was about to leave for Eden with only a few things, met Lua, a human knight. Lua is currently one of the few remaining humans in the great forest and an ally who has won the favor of the elves.

Now I was teaching swordsmanship to the elves of the great forest, including Leon.

“It’s also a way to check what I’ve been training so far.”

“What’s going on there?”

“It’s not exactly Eden’s thing.”

Laughing, he grabbed the reins of the fairy ant he was riding and immediately left.

In addition to the previously paved road, he entered a rough but fast road that only fairy ants could travel.

“Is there a beast? Or not…”

It was then that the fairy ant I was riding stopped, raising its antennae.

Leon, seeing the vigilance of the fairy ant, who was not overpowered by a fair amount of wild beasts, took out his bow and arrow and looked around.

Of course, enemies disguised as spies or bandits infiltrated frequently after becoming hostile to everyone around them. Unlike before, the elves are easily blocked by active responses and retaliation, but the damage is still accumulating.

Because it is possible that such enemies may have infiltrated it.

“No, this is crazy…!”

But at that moment. An unexpected enemy appeared. Something ripped through the ground near them, exposing part of its massive body.

A black, hard head like heavy armor, and a terrifying chin that could shatter trees and rocks. A huge body and pure white tough leather.

The giant slug that broke through the ground snapped his jaw when he saw the fairy ant backing up at him.

‘It’s a demon. Why are you here?!’

Leon, who did not participate in the parasitic bee dungeon raid, had only heard rumors from those who participated in the raid, so he recognized this giant slug as an enemy and aimed his bow at it.

“Oh no!”

But he couldn’t shoot an arrow. The slugs don’t attack him either, just staring at him. A cry that stopped his actions resounded in the dense forest, and soon someone came running in haste.

“I am Eden’s special operations team Leon. Who are you?”

“My name is Rin. I was just taking care of this child around here under Urea-sama’s orders.”

“What…?”

A young female elf ran over and introduced that she was taking care of the slugs. An unidentified egg obtained from the parasitic bee dungeon.

The eggs hatched, ate dead trees and soil in the bountiful Great Forest, and grew into such gigantic slugs.

“No harm. This kid is a herbivore.”

“I haven’t heard from rumors, but I can’t believe it happened.”

Leon, who listened briefly to the explanation, was impressed when he heard that the creatures found in Eden had succeeded in adapting to the Great Forest.

Lin, like Urea, is an elf with the gift of being able to communicate with animals. Using that talent, she succeeded in communicating with and taming the slugs.

“Looks like you noticed you weren’t hostile.”

“It is a bit different from fairy ants. Because I am not a guardian.”

Leon grinned when he saw the fairy ant let go of its guard as the slug quietly chewed on the dead tree root it was eating.

Lynn looked at it and she mentioned the fact that slugs are different from fairy ants. Unlike the fairy ant, which was born from the queen fairy ant, which inherited some of the power of the World Tree, the slug is just a large, ordinary animal. Ordinary elves could not communicate with slugs.

“Don’t you know what you will become when you grow up?”

“I can’t know what I don’t know myself, but it’s not too far off. Originally, I wonder if they grow up this fast… But they will probably become adults soon.”

“It’s amazing. And I guess I was a bit tired because I was fighting a little.”

Lin said that the slugs, which have grown at an unusual rate, will soon become adults. Hearing this, Leon laughed.

I thought inadvertently that the slugs would grow up to be reliable companions like the fairy ants.

“Use this child for war?”

“We fight together. Now we’ll have to join forces… If we lose, this guy will lose his place too.”

Lynn wonders if she has become attached to the slug she has been taking care of since her eggs. She was surprised to hear Leon’s words, but Leon did not deny that.

“You are right, Leon. We fight because we have to fight, and unlike in the past, we neither fear nor ignore it.”

And before coming to Eden, Serenian, who had heard about this incident with Rin, nodded her head in agreement with Leon.

“City Lehmann. A city built by humans, but a free city that is freely used by other people living nearby. Say. The defending force consists of the city’s mostly human defenders and human troops stationed in fortifications near the city.”

“That is spectacular.”

“Choose carefully, fight with full force.”

Serenian showed Leon the army of Eden that had just been prepared. Fighting against monsters, and training intensively every day using Eden’s system that requires less labor.

The 1,000 heavily armed troops that were completed in this way were people who were not expecting the forces now aiming for the great forest.

“Once I hold a bow, I have no intention of losing. Because that is our duty.”

Serenian himself was armed and took up his weapon. When she opened her mouth while looking up at the sky, Leon unconsciously nodded her head.
