Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

191 – Ruler of the Great Forest (1)

Chapter 191 – Ruler of the Great Forest (1)

“Isn’t it too leisurely? Rumors would have already spread all over the place if he had been so sluggish. The elves in the Great Forest must have noticed that we were moving.”

“Does it matter? It’s more important how much you can win overwhelmingly without taking damage.”

Headquarters of the Daesoorim Expeditionary Force. Narg expressed dissatisfaction with the slow preparation and march. From his point of view, it didn’t make sense to drag the war against the Great Forest for so long.

On the other hand, Rubens, the commander-in-chief, shook his head even after hearing that.

‘Victory is natural, and the key is to win with minimal damage.’

Rubens was in a position to keep an eye on as the commander-in-chief leading the kingdom’s army to carry out this attack. They, who are the parties to the war, as well as the majority of people in the world who have heard this news, are predicting their victory. At least Heinz, the king of the Kingdom of Delos, is the only one who is skeptical about their war, but Heinz keeps his mouth shut, so there is no way that such an opinion will be revealed.

So Rubens was forced to win with as little damage as possible. That point was even more fatal in the position of competing with others with political standing inside the kingdom.

Thanks to this, the expeditionary force led by him, under psychological pressure, was advancing as cautiously as possible, dragging their movements even after they were properly prepared and dispatched.

“Of course, there is nothing wrong with being cautious, but it is obvious that the other person will respond if you give me this much time. Rubens, you have changed a lot too. The hot-headed knight has become a politician who cares about where he goes, right?”

“sh*t, don’t talk nonsense. Do you know that you don’t?”

Rubens, who was stabbed to the point by Narg, was furious for no reason.

He did not hesitate to fight the enemy by putting himself aside, because he knew that unlike the past, he had changed in many ways as he became a powerful force by sweeping wealth and status.

“Even if the elves properly prepare for defense, it doesn’t matter. This is better than rushing in with a tail hanging down and then being ambushed by guys coming out from all sides and cutting off supplies.”

Rubens had to find a rational basis to hide and placate his feelings.

Fortunately, it was not unfounded. Most commanders, including Rubens, believed that the Elves, whom they expected to be inferior in numbers, resources, and strategy, avoided head-to-head confrontation and waged war in the form of hit-and-run or surprise attacks.

It was definitely a reasonable choice to move forward slowly without rushing to prevent that.

“However, even if the great army moves together like this, the forest is narrow and uncomfortable. It can’t be helped that the army is stretched out for a long time.”

“I won’t get caught up in that easily.”

Narg groaned at the huge, dense forest that was beginning to appear in front of him, but Rubens shook his head resolutely. As if he had predicted and prepared for this situation.

“Mobilize the golems. Widen the road!”

“Oh, the world has changed, but it has.”

Finally leading his main force across the country, reaching the borders of the Great Forest, which has recently been plagued by development and conflict, Rubens unleashed his secret weapon. They are artificial creatures with huge bodies operated by magicians.

The material of their body, composed of and moving around the incantated core, was a new weapon that could be stone or steel.

“This is the result of studying the puppetry and necromantic techniques of the black magicians captured during the Great War.”

“A demonic technology? You are crazy.”

“Is technology to blame? How you write is important. Just like you capture demon beasts and use them as mounts.”

As stone and iron golems up to 3m tall stood in the lead, holding heavy axes used by trolls in the past, and began cutting down huge trees in the inland forest without hesitation and digging a path. I sighed.

And Rubens’ confidence rose slightly as he accepted the sigh with admiration. He judged that the strategy he had prepared was working.

Actually, even thinking about it himself, he had no gaps in the strategy he had prepared. Now, the elves could not stand up properly and were pushed back by a large number of golems and basilisk cavalry, confident that the world tree would be taken away.

“The elves have appeared!”

“Don’t be sucked into the forest just because you’re chasing. Keep your seat If we honestly push to the center where the world tree is located, that’s it.”

Rubens’ confidence rose even further as the elves began to respond.

A handful of elves rode fairy ants shot arrows to snip at the golems and wizards, and even cast magic on rare occasions, but all of them were blocked without much damage and, conversely, they were chased by Narg’s basilisk cavalry and fled.

“The golems we made have strong mana resistance. Unless you’re an archmage, you can withstand the level of individual magic. If there had been a golem during the Great War, the game of war would have been different…”

“Okay, brag about the golem later when you capture the city of the elves. Not even halfway there yet.”

It wasn’t just the commanders who were excited. From magicians who were intoxicated by the activities of the golems, the essence of magic engineering they had created, to mediocre soldiers, they were intoxicated with the premonition of victory.

Remembering the sweet rewards that fell after victory, it became stronger, and the morale of the kingdom army increased as they advanced.

“I had heard that they were advancing, but I had no idea they could wield such foul creatures and magic.”

“De, this is a magic I have never heard of. A moving piece of iron… It seems to be similar to the puppetry used by black magicians in the underworld…”

The point at which the kingdom army advances. Since they were openly and slowly approaching, the elves, of course, were moving as they had prepared in advance.

However, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed about the new technology or magic they had been hiding until now.

Especially about the golem, not only the elves who had learned magic, but also the human Lua were terrified to hear about it.

“What should I do? Their strength is beyond prediction.”

After the words of the elder, whose complexion turned pale, everyone’s eyes turned to Serenian, who was seated.

Serenian wasn’t too upset after hearing all the reports.

‘There have always been obstacles. Beasts, variants, etc. This one is no different. It’s just a variant.’

She has already made up her mind. The opponent brought out a groundbreaking war weapon, but that’s all. Even if it’s her moving iron block, even if it’s her demonic lizard, it’s just one of her mutants that have put her in trouble countless times in her Eden.

“The operation continues as it is. However, there is a point that mana does not work easily with those golem monsters, so they use other means to deal with it.”

Unknowingly, Serenian, who was fiddling with the token hanging around his neck, ordered the war to proceed in an unwavering voice.

That strong conviction took some of the fear and anxiety of those who were agitated.

Those who knew what was behind Serenian were especially able to erase their doubts.

“We need to procure more weapons. Hurry!”

“As notified in advance, muster the troops. The target number is 50,000.”

As soon as the meeting was over and the enemy’s power was identified, Daesoorim began preparations for war. The speed was very fast. It’s going to happen anyway, so I’ve already prepared everything.

All the materials and policies that have been hoarded, organized, and polished have exploded. The product of the great forest and the support of Eden had already been calculated, but when it was actually done, it began to roll so loudly that even the elves themselves could not control it.

“Ha ha ha! Okay. This is it! This is our true power that we dreamed of! This…Was the scenery we wanted…”

Ethan, who was pardoned by Serenian for working underground and was working non-stop in the great forest, saw supplies and elves flocking from all sides and let out a laugh that was almost empty.

Whether it’s food or weapons, it’s a level that is impossible with common sense. The dwarves did not bother to melt it down and remake it. Hundreds of spears made of scouring pins that the Dwarves brought back were actually just tools worth a few thousand won that could be sprayed with a single finger.

Of course, the armor that the dwarves of Eden made nonstop all day with the help of the automatic power unit, although it was not the dagger-piece armor that the elves of Eden wore, but ordinary steel armor, but it was enough to arm the gathered elves anyway. It was a sheep.

“Fairy ants are also gathering. They were born of a total of eight queens who settled in the Great Grove.”

Fairy ants, which had explosively increased their population with the support of the elves as well as the abundant nutrients of the Great Forest, now willingly lent their strength to repay the favor.

In this way, the number of elven riders created by combining all these resources exceeded 10,000 and was on the rise.

It was a scale that would never be pushed back even if an all-out war was waged against the invaders that were coming right away.

“I participated as a squire at the end of the Great War. I’ve never seen a sight like this.”

“A sight like this?”

“A cavalry force of over 10,000 men, all made up of knights.”

Lua, who was working with her elves, saw the sight and muttered to Ruri in dismay.

An endless procession of people gathering, arming themselves, and leaving for the frontlines was taking place simultaneously in several places in the Great Forest.
