Chapter 176 – Colossal Power (6)

“Ah..”

A place of life that has turned into a battlefield at once, resounding with shouts and shouts. Those who were able to escape first managed to narrowly avoid it.

However, more people were unable to evacuate because the defending army collapsed too quickly.

It is the same with this child. The child, who had taken only a few steps with his sick mother, froze as he saw the soldier shot down by an arrow in front of him.

Then a huge monster appeared as it trampled on the corpse. An ant with six legs and moving huge jaws.

“…I won’t harm a child like you, so please go home calmly.”

However, the being holding the bow and riding on the saddle on top of the ant looked like a human to the child. She gave a small sigh as she saw the child carrying her sick mother.

More than the beastmen who are often seen in the city, and the dwarves who visit from time to time. Rather, she was so beautiful that in her moment she forgot her fears.

But even in the midst of that, her long, pointed ears, exposed by the nakedness of her helm, were etched in her child’s mind.

It was said that this was the moment when even a child like this clearly knew what kind of forces were invading this city and overwhelming it at once.

“It seems we are not the only ones nervous.”

“…A bit different from what I expected.”

The scene of a gruesome battle. It was, however, miserable in a slightly different sense. It wasn’t the misery that came from the fierce battlefield, but the power of the defenders who couldn’t resist the slightest resistance and was pushed out.

Climbing the castle, Serenian sighed as he looked down at the city. The troops who pushed in pushed the defenders back as they were and were in the process of destroying them individually.

She mercilessly kills those who take up arms and fights at her command, leaving those who do not resist untouched.

It wasn’t that difficult a battle compared to how nervous they were about the type of war they were trying for the first time.

‘Is this enough?’

The elves united as one are so strong. At the same time, Serenian laughed bitterly when he realized that Eden’s forces, armed with God’s grace, were this strong.

If I had realized it a little earlier, the tragedies that have happened so far might not have happened.

“I need to know where my people are being held.”

“I told you to capture someone who might know the information, so you will hear the news soon.”

Of course, their purpose is not to capture or pillage this city. Serenian, who judged that the enemy’s main force had completely collapsed, tried to find his people who were being held somewhere.

“Queen, this is the mayor of this city.”

A bloody Locke was dragged in front of Serenian.

Immediately after being discovered by Ren and Naria, he was unable to escape and was caught up and resisted, but was beaten and dragged.

“Ugh, ugh…”

“I lost my hand because I resisted fiercely, shouted, and even made fun of it.”

Naria, who played a leading role in capturing Locke, glanced at Locke, whose teeth were all smashed, and brushed off her bloodstained gauntlets.

This is because a bit drastic method was used in the suppression process.

“No. It’s okay.”

Serenian didn’t care. The fact that the captive elves were transported to several underground facilities is an open secret that everyone already knows.

I thought that if it wasn’t Locke, I should listen to it from others anyway, so Locke got back the karma he had been talking about while boasting about his achievements.

“So if you want to live, you better answer desperately. Where is the snowflake family you brought?”

“Was that the purpose…”

Bleeding dripping, he barely opened his eyes and laughed at Serenian. It was only when he heard the purpose of the enemies who invaded and destroyed the defenders with question and answer skills that it was such a disastrous situation.

“El, elf!”

“If you knew, you would know how to behave.”

He was astonished when he recognized Serenian’s identity while his vision, which had soon been blurred, became clear for a moment. It was a reaction that came from not being able to believe that the opponents who destroyed them in one blow were the elves.

“Oh, I know. Elves are said to look different depending on their clan and where they live. I’m not even the same as those Heoyeon bastards, so why the hell did I do this!”

“We are different from you. A kin is a kin.”

“Kuh…”

He had no choice. He was already incapacitated and surrounded by elves, and the defenders were annihilated. There were mercenaries who used to fight together, but it is impossible to expect them because they will not actively participate in a losing battle.

“Not too far.”

In the end he gave in. He set out to guide the camp himself. It was likely that the camp was unprepared because it was such a sudden raid, battle, and one-sided result.

‘I’d rather be more relaxed. If only I could earn a little time!’

Of course, he didn’t surrender without thinking. Reinforcements must be coming here. And the hero leading the reinforcements. Because I was looking at it with hope.

They are elite soldiers who even have a proper order of knights. Locke was confident that the reinforcements would not be as easily crushed as the city’s defenders.

“I’ll even tell you the name. Where the hell did you come from? I’ve never heard of elves like you around here.”

“You talk a lot.”

“Come to think of it, blonde hair and green eyes. With the same appearance as the wind sorcerer Ersilla… aaagh!!

He took out his words with a leaky pronunciation between his broken teeth to try it out while moving, but Serenian didn’t listen.

Screaming with only a slight electric shock, he finally shut his mouth and guided the Serenians and elves to the camp. As expected, the camp failed to respond properly and was abandoned.

Eden’s elves easily occupied the area and headed for the underground facility.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Are you an elf? Forest Clan!”

And eventually, in the deepest part of the place, Serenian came across her, who was nervous about the noise outside her.

“What happened to these people? Who are you? Could it be that Ersilla sent it?”

“…It’s not like that, but it’s true that I came to save the snowflake clan.”

Serenian, who instructed the others to release all those imprisoned, directly confronted her, her Kara. An elven hero from the snowflake clan. A spirit sorcerer who handles ice spirits.

Looking at herself, she laughed bitterly when Ersilla asked if she had sent her, but Serenian, who couldn’t explain everything right now, broke down her prison door and released her.

“I heard that the village was destroyed by the enemy.”

“Not only our village, but many people were killed or taken away. They were aiming for the World Tree. I don’t know how I knew it, but I coveted it because I could use the power of the World Tree.”

She got out of the prison, but she stumbled and was supported by Serenian, her fair skin even paler.

It was the same as Serenian who was thin on the outside, but it was a little strange.

“Your strength is gone.”

“Thank you for saving me, but Serenian, I have lost my strength. For the sake of hope, my spirit… Made a sacrifice.”

A sighed Kara revealed what she had been hiding until now. The truth that human Locke could not find out even if he tortured him for a hundred days.

Following her hand on her own chest, something cold began to emerge from her chest slowly.

“I had to save the World Tree somehow. It is a seed my spirit sacrificed its life for, so it must be planted again. But where do we go now? There is neither the power nor the place to protect the world tree that has not sprouted.”

“We will solve it.”

When Kara’s eyes fluttered in despair, Serenian, who was momentarily taken aback, regained her senses and grabbed her by the shoulders and said firmly.

What Kara wants is to protect and grow the seeds of the World Tree she managed to find, but she has already invaded the snowy mountains of the Great Mountains on the periphery of the continent.

In such a situation, Serenian believed that he, or more precisely, the existence he believed in and followed would be able to pave the way for the lost Snowflake clan as it is now.

“That can’t be possible. Where the Forest Clan lives, our World Tree cannot live…”

“It is not the Great Forest. It is a land of miracles. And isn’t that the last hope you all need right now?”

After hearing Serenian’s explanation, Kara said she couldn’t believe her, and she flinched, but Serenian shook her head. At the same time, she couldn’t refute her statement that she had no place to lean on anyway, so she eventually agreed to Serenian’s words and entrusted her body to his arms that promised to support her.

“An army of humans… This city’s defenders and mercenaries are not the end. And watch out for that horned helmet guy.”

“A horned helmet?”

Cara, who came to the ground with her support, bit her lip at Serenian’s words to be relieved.

She took her colleagues hostage and threatened her, but in fact, even without such threats, she was in danger of defeat. It was all because of a strong enemy on the human side.
