Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

177 – Colossal Power (7)

Chapter 177 – Colossal Power (7)

“Hurry before the damage gets bigger.”

The city has been captured, but the war is not over yet. After hearing the news, they immediately dispatched and approached the vicinity of the city on well-paved roads.

A tall knight riding an exceptionally large horse and leading the army at the forefront pushed his men further as he saw the city’s steeple beginning to be faintly visible in the distance.

Slightly different from other knights, his helmet with a pair of horns glistened in the sunlight.

“We arrived in just one day. Thanks to the haste, it won’t be too late.”

The mage, who doubles as a staff member, told him that he would have plenty of time. In fact, as soon as they heard the news, they went straight to the scene without thinking about anything, and thanks to that, they were able to come this far very quickly.

“It’s a big deal. The city has already been captured!”

However, such self-confidence was overshadowed by the scouting party that went ahead and surveyed the situation and reported that the city had already been captured by the enemy.

Of course, they were all very upset. Just as they had arrived so quickly, the speed at which the enemy captured the city was also fast.

“These idiots.”

The wizard cursed the mayor of the city, Locke, and his leaders. He asked how to take an alternative response so that the castle was taken away in less than a day.

I couldn’t help but think that the defending side was incompetent because I didn’t know what method the elves of Eden used.

But, having listened to all of this, he just looked towards the city in silence.

“Captain, there is no reason to wage a siege against enemies who have already occupied the castle. Conversely, if your allies surround you and call in additional reinforcements, you will be able to dry them to death.”

“Let’s do that.”

The wizard chose the most efficient way to get out of the current situation. It was more than an alliance, but there was no reason to risk your life to rescue the city, so the plan was to surround and dry the enemy before they could achieve their goal and escape the castle.

And he accepted the offer with no particular reason to reject it.

‘What kind of guys are they? What do you want?’

To be honest, his mind was full of curiosity about the other person.

First of all, the enemy’s actions are very reckless, even if you think that you enjoy fighting in the front as well as your staff. Even if you attack and capture Leman, ignoring the surroundings, including them, regardless of whether you are in the fortress, taking advantage of the capture of the city, whether plundering or capturing prisoners, will inevitably take time and lengthen the tail.

There’s no way the assailants were unaware of such a basic thing, so he was sure he had other plans.

“Those are the guys. The army of the human kingdom said to be stationed at the fortress.”

“That’s quite fast.”

I spotted reinforcements approaching the city, and of course Eden’s troops who occupied Liman. Leon, who climbed on top of the watchtower and observed them advancing with the dawn using a telescope, clicked his tongue.

Minimum time was needed as we had to subdue the remnants, control the city, and have time to reorganize. On top of that, the amount of time it took to take care of the elves of the snowflake family he rescued.

I thought it was close, but additional battles with the enemies who came to support were unavoidable.

“The number of enemies doesn’t seem to be that many as they came in haste. The enemies don’t have fairy ants, so I wonder if they can easily defend themselves if there’s a wall.”

“If the enemy attacks first.”

Leon reported this to Serenian, and he said that it would be advantageous to fight along the wall. However, Serenian intuitively thought that the enemy would not attack first and made a decision.

“This is enemy territory. Enemies everywhere until you return to Eden. If time dragged on, those enemies would come from all sides.”

“That’s right. See They are besieging the castle.”

Garmin, sympathetic to her words, pointed out the enemy’s actions. In fact, the enemy was moving to besiege the castle on the subject of lacking numbers. Rather than engaging in an all-out war, they were determined to take their time.

‘If you surround yourself so loosely, you’ll be able to break through, so you’re confident? Or are they convinced that our mobility is slower than theirs?’

Seeing them like that, Serenian clicked her tongue. True to the word elite soldiers, the enemy is all cavalry. Confident that the elves would be slow as they plundered this and that in the city, the enemies were openly exposing gaps as if they were confident in their maneuvers.

“Who are you? Lehman is also our subordinate city. The same goes for the people and wealth there.”

Meanwhile, he stepped forward and raised his voice. There was no fear in his low, monotonous voice, which seemed to be full of room.

“That guy. That guy is a helmet with horns. The strong man that humans called by the name of Barus.”

“A native of the northern part of the country, he is a warrior who refused both the central aristocratic position and the northern commander position in order to fight directly. Do you think you can win?”

Kara, who saw him, and Locke, who was taken prisoner, testified to Serenian about his identity. He was also one of the strongest in the area and a hero who was active during the Great War.

“That we can’t beat the author?”

“Huh, it must be a big sacrifice.”

As Serenian glared at him, Locke flinched and forced a laugh. It wasn’t a bad idea. His face darkened, thinking that even Kara, who was right next to him, could not stop him now that he had lost his power.

Especially, Kara knew through Ersilla, whom she had a conversation with in the past, that the Forest Clan had no one strong enough to deal with that formidable enemy, so it was all the more so.

“That was once true, but we have changed a lot. You will find out when you get to Eden, but you may show me before then.”

When Ersilla’s story came up again, Serenian’s eyebrows twitched and summoned other executives.

It was to attack first without wasting time inside as the enemies intended.

“Breaking through head-on?”

“It makes sense. We have already achieved our goal here.”

The Elves of Eden agreed with Serenian’s words. The plan was to break through the encirclement and withdraw at one point before the enemy gathers more.

In the first place, that was the best. Revenge and rescue were all accomplished, so there is no longer any attachment to this city.

However, what was absolutely necessary for this plan was to be able to block the enemy’s interference.

“I am in charge of the enemy.”

Serenian declared that he would take charge of Varus, the enemy general, and stop him. It was not a reckless act, as he had a history of fighting and winning against powerful enemies who had already made his name as a hero.

“This, this is crazy. Killing prisoners carelessly!”

“Prisoners? You guys are just enemies.”

As soon as the operation began, Serenian executed all the city leaders he had captured, including Locke. No wonder they didn’t know how to kill them all at once, and their complaining about offering their wealth or something didn’t work at all.

Then the rescued snowflake clans were loaded onto the fairy ants and placed in the center of the formation. It was intended to break through the encirclement of the enemies while protecting them.

“You are so reckless Serenian. He’s too strong. The sacrifice will be great.”

“I can understand your anxiety, so I will prove the power of beings who help us.”

Kara, who was riding on her fairy ant with her Leon, eventually stopped her at Serenian’s words that she would fight her enemy general, but Serenian shook her head.

You must not avoid fighting for the sake of strategy. And now was the chance.

The fact that the fair-haired, green-eyed elves retaliated by raiding the cities of humans who attacked other elven clans was a fact that could not and did not need to be hidden.

It was something that would be properly revealed to the world someday anyway. So, I thought it was necessary to warn him by revealing his power so that he could not be taken lightly at this time.

“Everybody go! Withdraw!”

Soon, everyone boarded the fairy ants and rushed toward the east side of the city, toward the wall closest to the withdrawal direction.

The gates were opened and they poured out, as well as breaking through the walls and rushing out of the castle as a single wave.

“That crazy!?”

“Just stop it! All alumni!”

The kingdom army hurriedly mustered troops and rode their horses to stop the elves.

It was the same with him, who glared at the elves riding on fairy ants with unwavering eyes.

‘Let’s try it. Cheeky.’

Catching up and running alongside the elves running into the nearby woods where the horses had difficulty maneuvering, he increased his speed in anticipation of running into them as some of the elves broke ranks and approached them.

“?!”

In the meantime, it was at that time that a flash of light burst out from a distance where the elves’ arrows could not yet reach and shot towards them.

A cold sweat broke out on his back as he reflexively knocked out the thunderbolt that was aiming at him.
