Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

Episode 272 – Siege Net (2)

“Yes, Your Highness. “I think it would be better to advance a little more quickly.”

“Why? With just that wide-area magic you brought, the elves’ strength plummets. Honestly, it’s an unbelievable effect. “If used well, mana flowing through the wind flows into the opponent’s body and disrupts the flow, which can be a miracle on the battlefield.”

“No. “I told the soldiers that, but this wave sealing technique is not such a grand magic.”

When they entered the main forest and were moving forward with a clear goal of becoming the world tree. Regner took notice of Heinz’s energetic words.

The reason that not only Heinz but also the individual soldiers were full of morale and high spirits was thanks to the magic he had prepared.

Everyone cheered when they saw the miracle created by the magic. This is because driving out the elves who tried to drive them away with just one spell seemed so great that it could be called the ultimate feat of magic.

But Regner, who had actually developed magic, did not believe in his own magic.

“Elves have been secretly studied since the time of the Great War, and although it was finally completed, this magic is only effective for elves who use a particularly delicate management method that allows them to carry mana to arrows, daggers, etc.”

“The enemies we are dealing with are elves, so there shouldn’t be a problem. Of course, they have formed alliances with other human kingdoms, but there is no way they would intervene.”

“That’s not all. Don’t be mistaken; the wave sealing technique doesn’t actually seal their mana. In the end, the principle of this technique is to disturb the person you are meeting for the first time by making it ‘annoying’ in an unfamiliar way. In other words, the more you get used to this interruption, the less effective it becomes.”

“…Is that really true?”

Regner warned Heinz about the shortcomings of magic.

In the battle just before, the wave sealing technique was used, but the elves who had encountered it for the first time were not only unable to use arrows, but were also able to swing swords and stab spears.

If the elves become more accustomed to this type of disruption, they will be able to shoot bows again.

“The morale of the soldiers is high due to the victory, so we must deal with this wave sealing technique quickly while it is still having an effective effect. Fortunately, it will be difficult to adapt after just a few battles, so going straight to the World Tree is enough.”

“Well, there’s no way such a convenient decisive battle weapon could come out right away. If what you say is right, it has to be that way. “If the battle continues, we will be at a disadvantage.”

Heinz clicked his tongue and his brow furrowed. He can’t be in a good mood because what he thought was an easy win has now been restricted. The fact that Regner didn’t tell him about this in advance was also obvious, so he couldn’t take kindly to it.

However, it is true that they are still in an advantageous position. The elves had little opportunity to acquire immunity to the wave sealing technique, and the soldiers firmly believed that they would be able to defeat the elves through victory.

“They are elves!”

In such a situation, the battles with the elf guerrilla force that rushed in to lure them deeper further ignited those feelings.

“Chase them!”

“I won again!”

The troops sent by Heinz to fight won the battle against the elves who appeared riding fairy ants in this dense forest and succeeded in driving out the elves.

In fact, the elves suffered little damage, but they turned their backs and ran away anyway, and they cheered happily, saying that they had won.

“Why don’t you use that magic?”

“Does it matter? “Seeing how happy he is that he won, there’s no way he’s going to stop.”

In reality, the elf guerrilla force was suspicious of the actions of the Delos Kingdom army, which did not use magic, but there was no need to look into it anyway, as the elves’ purpose was to catch them off guard, take time, and draw them deeper.

“Look. “We will crush them.”

The kingdom’s military leaders, including Heinz, still believed in effective magic and were unable to recognize the elves’ true intentions. In this way, one by one, the situations began to fall into place on their own.

The kingdom army command wants to advance to Deneb, where the World Tree is located, as quickly as possible, and the kingdom army troops become increasingly bold, intoxicated by repeated victories. And the elves who lead them to the carefully prepared battlefield.

Obviously, the battle was repeated and there were winners and losers, but there was a series of results that everyone was satisfied with.

“They are coming.”

The result is that the kingdom’s army, advancing at high speed, traverses the forest without realizing how difficult it is.

Like everyone else, Serenian, who was waiting in armor, heard the report and sensed that the time was approaching.

No one was worried or afraid because preparations had already been completed. The elves don’t know the secret of the wave sealing technique, but since they already had a way to overcome it anyway, they didn’t even consider it in the first place.

“Honestly, the Delos Kingdom army alone doesn’t seem to be much of a threat. “I was worried that the Empire’s airship fleet was coming.”

“There are people who have been sacrificed. “Don’t say things like that.”

“Ah.”

A young elf said with a grin, and Tina, who was with Serenian, scowled and scolded her. Then, as if she thought it was a mistake, she looked at him too and scratched her head.

‘That’s right. There are still people who have been sacrificed.’

Serenian sighed softly as he saw that.

Obviously, the Great Forest is not doing its best right now. Unlike the Kingdom of Delos, where literally all the troops they had were scraped together to go to war, the majority of the elves in the Great Forest were just doing their own thing. The same goes for tens of thousands of fairy ants.

Not even all the power in Eden was drawn. This is because I calculated that this would be enough. If you invest the power that would be used in war elsewhere, you can make a lot of profit.

However, because sacrifices ultimately occurred in the process, Serenians as well as all elves had to work sincerely.

“I guess education is over, right?”

“Of course. “She doesn’t need any mana at all, so even though she’s awkward, she’s a quick learner.”

She received confirmation from Rondel, the commander who handed out a mountain of firearms to the troops.

Now, the elves of the Great Forest are also quite good at handling firearms. It was the result of repeated training to soldiers.

The enemies planned to destroy the elf army quickly before the wave sealing technique expired, but the elves had no intention of spending mana to fight them in the first place.

“We’re almost there. “Much faster than you think.”

“…”

The kingdom’s military camp spreads out widely inside the forest. Mera, a former elf hero, smiled and looked around. Now the residents have moved to the city, but in the past there was a small elven village, and traces of it remain everywhere.

Mera, who had not been to the Great Forest since the Great War, was more familiar with places like this than the city.

And the same goes for Ruri, who is currently tied up. Ruri, tied up with her blood-stained, gaunt face, turned away from her Mera’s gaze upon her own.

“If you go a little further, you will reach Deneb. Then you can actually see that b*tch’s face. “She’s a brat who claims to be her queen.”

“He is a true hero who cannot be compared to you.”

As she trampled and crushed Ruri’s legs with her shoe, Ruri gritted his teeth in pain and finally managed to get her words out. However, Mera grinned, as if she was actually pleased with Ruri’s provocation.

“I may not be a hero, but a kid who hid here during the Great War can’t be a hero. “The reason she can breathe and stay alive is because we fought.”

“On a corrupt subject. “Tsk.”

“You might think so.”

Merah kicked Ruri, who despised her, and knocked her down. Then she got on top of him and grabbed her neck with her hands. The fingernails, painted bright red, dug into the delicate skin to the point of bleeding.

“Why on earth did you make this choice? “Is this the same goal as Ercilla?”

Ruri, unable to resist with his bound body, struggled in pain.

“Don’t talk about that stupid b*tch.”

When Ercilla’s name was mentioned, Mera’s eyes, which had been smirking, turned fierce. However, starting from her words, Mera slightly released the power she was holding in her hands.

“There is no need for grandiose and noble honors and duties. Because it was those things that were eating away at us and gnawing away at us. “I thought things would get a little better after going through the Great War, but we stayed the same.”

“I admit that. But it can be changed enough…Ahh!”

“We need true liberation. Really outside of rules, laws, duties, and common sense. The battlefield was good in that sense. “Because anyone can be free on the battlefield.”

She roughly slapped Ruri’s cheek as she tried to retort. Ruri’s face turned pale as she recognized the sparkle in her eyes.

I was able to see before my eyes what corruption is in the full sense that only exists in folk tales.

‘Crazy b*tch.’

And when Ruri saw that, she swallowed her dry saliva and swallowed the words that were stuck in her throat.
