Chapter 221 – The Profane (1)

“Don’t just look at it, take a good look! What are you going to do if you overdo it?”

“Ha, but the leader. No matter how much it is, I can’t see a garrison where many people are stationed in this area.”

The boss’s brush with his boss that comes flying whenever he forgets. The dwarf search crew muttered as if it was unfair.

That wasn’t an absurd statement. Wherever you look around, there are only forests, canyons, and valleys. Although nominally belonging to the territory of the Dwarf Kingdom, this land at the end of the Great Mountains was a land where few Dwarves lived, and it was nothing more than a neglected wilderness.

For a large number of people to be stationed in a place like this, a large space, structures, and facilities are needed, but now, no matter where I look, I don’t see anything like that.

“I can’t help it. It is an order from above.”

The middle manager, the leader of the search team, sighed and shook his head. The only reason they were searching this place was Pietro’s instructions, which were obtained through Elise.

“You couldn’t have lied? I don’t think there’s anywhere around here where an elf army could be stationed. Besides, the number of Dwarves who broke away is not small.”

“What the hell am I going to gain by lying to you like that?”

“That’s also true, so I don’t really doubt it.”

Pietro was also roughly aware of the strangeness. There was a good chance that Elise would lie, but it was unlikely that she would risk her own life and the lives of her people after playing tricks on the dwarves.

“Su, it’s an attack! They are elves!”

However, when doubts and fatigue are piling up on everyone in the search team.

The group at the forefront reported an urgent emergency.

The enemies they had been searching for so long appeared first and launched an attack.

“Strike! These little men who insatiably attacked us elves and their own people!”

At the Dwarves who allied with humans and attacked them, Ryun, a warrior from the Snowflake clan, who had a grudge against the Dwarf kingdom, took the lead and shot a cold bow.

Those who charged after him were also an allied force of dwarves and elves mixed together, but all of them had the characteristic of riding fairy ants.

“I found it!”

The moment when the traces of Eden that the search party had been looking for were finally revealed. Pietro saw it from a distance and his eyes widened and he exclaimed.

“Blow the horn. Summon the main body! Here it is!”

The Dwarf search party was greatly taken aback by the enemies that had come across the forest road, but were not pushed back and summoned their allies to face the troops of Eden.

“There aren’t many of them. Stay put until support arrives!”

The Dwarves responded with their unique infantry defense. There was a cavalry force riding mountain goats, but it was because of a lack of numbers.

And the square, built with a heavy shield, was strong enough to easily block the arrows fired by the elves.

“In my heart, I just…”

“Enough, we have already achieved our goal.”

Naria stopped those who tried to rush and the dwarves who tried to shoot guns the size of small cannons. Their purpose is to lure the enemy to the last.

I didn’t have to hit it any more than necessary.

“Shoot!”

Encouraged by the fact that their defenses were working, the Dwarven troops counterattacked by firing crossbows in succession. Most of them were missed and crashed by Ren’s power, which hit the barrier with a strong magnetic field, but seeing that Eden’s soldiers couldn’t fight back, the dwarves cheered up and continued shooting.

“It looks like they are on a winning streak, so let’s step back slowly. They ran away as if they couldn’t help it because their square was so hard that they couldn’t penetrate it until reinforcements arrived.”

Naria smiled faintly at the sight and retreated her troops.

And it’s hard not to get excited when you see the backs of enemies fleeing without producing any proper results even after a surprise attack through the forest road.

“Are you going to chase!?”

“Are you saying something obvious! Chase We need to find out their home base!”

The Dwarf search party finally gathered in one place, loosened their squares, gnashed their teeth, and pursued the troops of Eden. The speed of the fairy ants was so fast that it was impossible to chase them with their short legs, but they didn’t care.

It was the way of the Dwarves, symbolizing persistence and endurance, to chase and catch their prey with their short but strong legs until they collapsed from exhaustion.

“Go and send a call. I think it’s okay to move the army that has been slowly gathering.”

Pietro, who was chasing after him, smiled and instructed his subordinate, who was following him, to tell the general manager and minister of the center, Le Sai, the news.

There were others who were waiting for war.

“It splits gradually.”

“Do it. Those guys keep coming after me.”

The point at which the dwarf search party is chasing at a trot over the mountains and across the forest. The forces of Eden they were pursuing began to disperse.

The Snowflakes, who wear hoods to cover their hair, head northwest, and the rest of the party head southwest, where the entrance to Eden is.

There were more people going to Eden, so the pursuing dwarves saw that and accepted that they were collapsing in fear.

“Look. It looks like it will be caught, so it doesn’t scatter like crazy.”

“Captain, are you really following me? If it’s a trick to cover our eyes…”

“How can that be? Keep chasing!”

Among the Dwarves, there were those who looked suspiciously at the actions of the enemies, who seemed to have no will to resist, but the search leader, who had the most important right of will, ignored the opinion because he was blind to his specialty.

“What is it, those bastards?”

“Oh, the trail leads to that rock wall.”

In the end, hundreds of Dwarves, who were summoned as soon as possible and started in pursuit in line with the strong will of the search team, went round and round for days and days, just as the manned unit intended, and finally reached the cliff near the entrance to Eden.

The search leader, as well as the others, hesitated in bewilderment as they saw traces on the floor leading to a narrow gap between the cliffs.

“Is this a trap? How the hell did so many enemies disappear into there?”

They attacked with great vigour, hesitated for fear of the unknown. It was because the cliff gap seemed too narrow to blindly chase.

“The art of deceiving space is not that difficult.”

At that time, Pietro arrived with Elise a little late. Even when he saw the entrance to Eden, he was not greatly disturbed.

“What do you mean wizard?”

“Making a wide space look narrow, or connecting the entrance of a space to another place to reveal a hidden space. Now that we have gone through a great war, it is by no means impossible. It happens naturally. Even at this moment, many mages are studying such natural gateways.”

“So there are really them in there?”

“It is clear.”

A faint smile appeared on the face of the search leader, who looked dumbfounded. As he said, he was sure that the narrow gap was the entrance to Eden.

“Of course, it’s true that no one knows what’s inside. It seems that those who should be in the Great Forest know roughly the secret of how they came to the North Continent.”

“Kuh, are you saying that we have to come all the way here and just watch?”

Hundreds exhausted from the pursuit cannot enter a place that might be the enemy’s stronghold. When informed that troops from the nearby Kingdom of Barten would arrive soon anyway, the search captain clicked his tongue as if he was a bit regretful, and pulled his men back as if he had waited.

“Pietro. They say that the army of Barten Kingdom is now entering the Great Mountains.”

“The time is right.”

And in the meantime. The subordinate who was contacted by the communication magic grinned when he heard that the troops of the kingdom who had contacted Pietro had already marched to this area.

‘Evil humans…’

Elysee gnashed her teeth inwardly as she watched them. Although she cooperated, she told her that this war was fundamentally her affair.

From her point of view, all of this was just humans playing tricks using the dwarves.

“Ah, there he comes.”

“I-I can’t believe this…”

However, the next day, Elise flinched when she saw numerous troops approaching from the place Pietro pointed out.

The soldiers of the Northern Kingdom have been trained tirelessly through the great war and the internal war of nerves. In addition, a knight with a horned helmet leading them.

‘Did they grow in strength like this while the Demon World was fighting among itself and destroying itself?’

She left Pandemonium as if she was being kicked out in a power battle between her own people. To her, the powers of the continent, which were also her victors, seemed stronger than during the Great War.
