Chapter 211 – Eden’s Identity (1)

‘Searches and vigilance have increased. Is it because many people have recently joined Eden?’

In the woods a little away from the road. Naria, who had disappeared, held her breath when she saw a group of dwarf searchers crossing the road.

As the special operations team warned, the activities of the search party were not uncommon. Naria was convinced that the reason was the residents of the outskirts, who had recently been leaking into Eden.

I have already experienced the Great Forest once. The existence of a ruler cannot tolerate external forces taking away his people.

“Before it is too late…”

After leaving her seat, Naria moved her fairy ant again and moved through the forest. There was a strange impatience in her expression. As time goes on, it is obvious that the Dwarven Kingdom will become increasingly wary and move to Eden will become more difficult.

She thinks that she must hurry as much as possible to persuade her father to move her inhabitants to Eden. One or two people sneaking away can be covered with her ability, but taking over a hundred villagers is a completely different story.

‘I hope you are safe.’

Before she went to her village, she stopped by the cabin in the woods where she previously lived. Naria smiled faintly as she dug out of the ground her crate, which she had hidden well nearby.

Silver metal ingots that emit a strong presence inside the chest. They were aluminum ingots left over from her father.

She hurriedly grabbed them and got up from her seat. The village is right in front of here.

“Please be patient. I’ll be back soon.”

She decided to hide her fairy ant in the cabin and move it alone. There are things known on the continent about fairy ants, but the fact that they are giant ants with large jaws is enough to intimidate opponents.

‘How should I say it? As expected, should I show proof and speak strongly?’

Her mind was full of ideas on how to persuade her father as she walked the rough road with her frequent steps, even though she was carrying a burden equal to her own body.

It wasn’t that the possibility was out of sight, so she was even more hopeful. Her father is a person who truly dreams of a prosperous and strong military of the Dwarf race and its status spreading across the continent.

In other words, if you can guarantee it, you can change your mind.

And what she has seen, heard, and experienced in Eden so far can fully fill it. Eden is a land watched by an absolute being who is stronger, nobler, more merciful than the king of Dwarves, who is said to be a hero, and who has surpassed his limits.

“… Huh?”

But when she reached the entrance to her village. Her steps stopped and her eyes twitched. This is because heavily armed soldiers were controlling the entrance to the village.

“Why are we here? I’ve heard rumors that the west frontier is messy lately, but this is the northwest side.”

“Do you know Nandle? Internal crackdowns are getting tougher. Guess who got caught here too.”

Some of the central soldiers guarding the entrance grumbled. Naria instinctively hid herself and watched them. Blockading the village under Nopen’s orders, they actually didn’t think much of themselves as those who followed orders from above.

“Captain, I will go to the bathroom for a while.”

One of them, yawning not knowing what was going on in the village, came toward the forest where Naria was hiding to do some errands.

After putting down her pack, Naria quickly rolled her head, then hid her body. She thought to hear what happened by overpowering the soldier.

“Huh, I want to go back soon… Coke!?”

Hanging upside down from a tree using her light little body, she was just at the point where the unsuspecting soldier put down her weapon and grabbed her by the breeches, she came right behind her and put her face on the ground. Got stuck

Thanks to this, the soldier couldn’t even see who had attacked him, and all he could do was struggle and scream in the dirt.

“Who are you? Why are you here? What’s going on in town If you scream, I will break your throat.”

“Hee, hee!”

Whispering in his ear, she slowly let go, and the soldier who raised his face from the ground shuddered with extreme fear and began to tell everything he knew.

“Bee, the central government sent troops to investigate corruption?”

The contents were something beyond shock to Naria. There was no word so unsuitable as her own father and corruption. He was the one who urged the people under his command to be loyal to the country in the first place.

“Really. My, I personally heard from our captain that the district manager obtained and presented several high-quality acid silver ingots, but he did not answer the source, so to find out…”

“Why is the source so important? I gave the set tax, an object worth more than the tax!”

The soldier really only spoke the truth. It’s just that Naria, who was so excited that she even stuttered, couldn’t understand the truth.

Naria’s father, who experienced a unified country for the first time, couldn’t believe that the kingdom would not praise them for paying good taxes, but rather question them.

For them, this was a kind of betrayal. The group that made up the power by coming together to fight against the public enemy of Pandemonium was very strong and explosive on the outside, but as time passed, there were problems that inevitably occurred because not all members of the group could think the same like machines.

Those who overestimated the strength and innocence of the group they witnessed through the great war were reversed.

‘Father is to protect me…!’

Naria’s eyes widened when she realized that her father had not revealed the source until the end to protect himself.

She decided that even at this moment, she had no time to linger over her father, who did not know what would happen to her for refusing to answer.

“What! Who is there… Aagh!”

“Stop it, the raid is…aaah!”

After a short calculation, she rushed towards the village single-handedly.

The troops guarding her entrance were surprised and tried to fight back, but she, wearing gauntlets specially made by the dwarves of Eden, clenched her mana-bursting fists and knocked them down with one blow, sending them flying to subdue them.

‘After subduing all enemies and rescuing her father, she goes to Eden with the inhabitants.’

Her eyes flashed. The country abandoned them first, the father. It was said that they had no reason to respect them anymore.

***

“What the hell is this!? What an attack! What bastards! Are they humans?!”

“Oh, no. Not many.”

Naria’s hometown. It was a small village carved out of a mountain on the periphery, but it quickly became an abyss.

It wasn’t because of the central army that occupied the village. It was to the point that even Nopen, who had led the army, turned white and avoided the spot.

“Gee, calm down. This is treason! Miss Naria!”

“I have fulfilled many duties since the Great War. It is this kingdom that betrayed me and us.”

Some of her who recognized her and Lia tried to stop her, but when she saw her villagers who were beaten and seriously injured while resisting in her village, she became more riotous and brandished her fists without hesitation.

Ordinary soldiers were not the opponents to stop. His soldiers rushed forward with shields and weapons, but Naria, who became a cannonball himself, broke the shield with his fist and threw his soldiers away, clearing the road at once.

Among them, there were some warriors of the Royal Guard who had trained mana, but there was a sharp difference. With her end snatching and wielding the battle ax of her praetorian guard, she slammed the last remaining member of her praetorian body to her ground as well, and her central army now rushed to flee from her.

“Oh, Father.”

Pushing forward, she sees her father in the basement of her district manager’s residence and slumps down on her wobbly legs.

Because Nofen, desperate to hear an answer from him, who refused to tell him the whereabouts of the aluminum ingot, didn’t choose any means, he was already in a terrible state, as if he would stop breathing at any moment.

“I, what should I do now? Unstoppable!”

“Damn it, fathers and daughters are so tough.”

While Naria went inside her. Nofen, who avoided her body, gnashed his teeth. She tried, but in the end she didn’t get what she wanted. Besides, if she went on like this, she would have to step down because of only me and Leah.

“I am glad I came with you, Kroon. Now that this has happened, please catch her.”

“Don’t talk nonsense. I came because they said they would give away a huge amount of mountain silver.”

“Seo, who would have known that I wouldn’t have stolen even the goblets…”

Nofen turned his gaze to the side. Then the man standing next to him, tall for a dwarf, looked at him and clicked her tongue.

“But she can test her. The new strength we have gained.”

However, the gigantic Dwarf called Kroon laughed and drew his weapon.

I was literally going to have a fight with Naria.
