Elves Have Migrated to My Planter

286-The Great War (6)

Episode 286-The Great War (6)

If you make the front line as wide as possible, the alliance will be at a disadvantage in terms of national power and numbers. In such a situation, if one point is breached, the entire defense line will collapse starting from that point, just like a hole in a dam.

With this confidence, the imperial army leadership launched an all-out attack in each province. However, this plan went off the rails when the airship fleet, which had decided to clear the way, was counterattacked.

“The damage will increase. “If we started the assault like this, it would be different from what we had planned…”

“There is nothing we can do. If we protest, we will be purged. And they say they are somehow getting it together, but they won’t be able to fight back properly because the attacks from the demons are continuing inside!”

In such a situation, the imperial commanders deployed in each region were forced to move forward. Since Orca has allowed plunder, this war is a necessary war for them as they have to raise their majors, obtain loot, and control the forces under him, so they are in a kind of dilemma.

“Everyone charge! “If their batteries bother you, just bypass them!”

While the interior of the alliance forces was in turmoil due to the conflict with the demon world forces, the imperial army crossed the border area one by one and invaded simultaneously.

They deliberately bypassed the point where the cannons that dropped the airships were located. As the Alliance’s troops also moved to stop the invaders, countless battles soon broke out in all directions, with numerous reports of victory and defeat flying in from both sides.

“As they began using airships as supply ships rather than combat, their operational capabilities rapidly increased. Right now, we are somehow holding on by pushing and being pushed back with the supplies we have stockpiled, but if we continue like this, we will be breached somewhere. “If the tracks located in the rear are occupied, the supply from the main forest will be cut off, and if that happens, the rainforest trees will fall.”

“If you just let it happen, that’s what will happen.”

Serenian nodded in response to the urgent communication from Benert, a member of the alliance and one of the pillars of the eastern defense line. Although the scale is similar, the new war shows a completely different aspect from the existing great wars, which were mostly sporadic local battles rather than large-scale battles.

Serenian was thrown into a simultaneous war between great powers, something even experienced commanders experienced for the first time during the Great War, leading elves from various clans.

“In the last great war, we could not all work together. But this time it’s different.”

“That’s right. “Because the elves who had not been together since a long time ago have reunited.”

Parti responded to Serenian’s words. In fact, many of the Snowflake Clan and Desert Clan were mobilized in this war.

This was the first time since the Age of Myth that the elves had come together as a power unit and fought like this.

“Even though the imperial army tried to concentrate its power in other areas and launch an offensive, it did not send troops to the forest area where we are, and is only preparing for defense.”

Serenian thought about the outside of the forest and opened his mouth. In fact, the imperial army was not sending troops into the difficult-to-reach forests. It was clear that they intended to focus their efforts on the main forest and focus it elsewhere.

“We can send our remaining troops to help other regions, but I think our role will be very important for victory.”

Serenian had no intention of just keeping his place with the other elves. That’s why you can’t win. He took the initiative and tried to strike a blow to his enemies.

The goal was to advance to the north of the Great Forest and attack the empire’s territory first.

“I will step forward myself.”

She decided to step forward and lead her troops. Of course, she didn’t go out on her own. Not only other forest clans, but also elves from other clans such as Kara and Parti all participated.

It has more than 50,000 people. Considering the size of the troops on both sides mobilized in this war, the number was not that large, but if you think of it as a cavalry unit all riding on fairy ants, they were troops that could exert destructive power, as if they had rushed to the royal capital of a past kingdom and forced it to surrender. .

‘How many of my fellow countrymen will be sacrificed by this choice? In the end, how is driving your compatriots into war any different from Ercilla?’

Serenian stared blankly at the elf army gathering and arming themselves under his command.

Victory without sacrifice is close to impossible. No doubt many of the elves mobilized in this way will be killed or injured. Because of your own decisions.

Although the decision was made after consulting with others, she felt the weight of the tiara on her head and gritted her teeth from the pressure that was crushing her.

“Whether it is the right direction or not, it is clear that we need a wind of change.”

Leon, who had been with her from almost the beginning, probably noticed her expression and approached Serenian first.

“At least the wind brought by the Queen is a wind in which many people saw possibility and hope. Aren’t we behind? Because there is something I believe in.”

“Can that justify the sacrifice of our compatriots?”

“I don’t know if it’s justified, but it wouldn’t be a meaningless sacrifice.”

He smiled and pointed at the armed elf army. Armed with proper armor and supplied with bows and guns, they all boarded the fairy ants and used them as a gathering place.

‘I can’t believe being behind can be this comfortable.’

What Leon said was not wrong. Not only the other elves, but even Serenian himself had strong faith in a corner of his heart, so he was less shaken.

The belief that there is a home to return to, the belief that there is a God who helps them.

That alone was enough. Because I was able to forget the fear that interfered with my judgment for a split second.

“In just two days, you will leave the great forest and enter their territory.”

“From that moment on, we will not stop.”

They ran north. While Orca’s imperial army launched an all-out attack and the alliance forces defended it with all their might, they were the only ones charging into the empire’s territory.

***

“The elves of the Great Forest are advancing north with 10,000 troops?”

“That’s right. Although we have strengthened our forces, we will never be able to stop it with the local defense forces alone.”

Of course, the elves’ charge also reached the ears of Orca, who was still in the imperial palace.

The people who delivered the news were urgent, but he didn’t really show any particular reaction.

“Contact those stationed nearby and tell them to stop the elves at all costs. You can just take the time. “Anyway, we can’t occupy the entire large area with that many numbers.”

“Yeah, that’s true, but the damage is still…”

“This is Sotamdaesil. “If you react sensitively to the enemy’s struggles and stop the offensive, you will only suffer losses, and if you boldly give up, you will gain greater benefits.”

In order not to fall for Serenian’s intention to change the perspective, Orca boldly decided to give up the area being attacked.

Instead, they attempted to break through one side by giving more strength to the eastern and northern fronts that were currently continuously attacking. In the end, what mattered was which side collapsed first.

“I will also go to war.”

Although Orca was the most powerful person in the empire, something even the emperor could not do, he was also the strongest swordsman, so of course he wanted to go to war.

“The impure elements of the demon world began to invade again, but the gates to the imperial territory were not opened due to the sacred power of the religious denominations… I had no idea they would make such an excuse.”

“It’s been that way since the moment we first met, but these days, there’s been a lot of bickering.”

But as he was preparing to go to war, there was someone who grabbed his ankle. Saint Lenia of the Church of Light. Although she cooperated with Orca, she always viewed Orca as a negative, dangerous person.

“I gave it because it was an excuse that worked. What matters to people isn’t the truth. It’s just what they want to hear. “Can you refute this?”

“Even so, the truth does not disappear.”

“The truth doesn’t feed us. The Demon King is dead, and the Demon World is more divided than we are. “If you can use it, it’s right to use it.”

He ignored her and passed by her laughing. Although he is an important figure in the church, he now has the power to crush Lenia in one fell swoop.

It wasn’t difficult to listen to just verbal criticism.

“Regardless of how arrogant the idea of using the Demon World is, if things go wrong and the Demon World forces, especially the Orc army commander Rudgar, do something foolish, we cannot support you.”

“It’s a useless worry. “Why don’t you use that time to pray more to a God who doesn’t respond?”

Even if Renia says a warning to the back of his head, he just ignores it and walks away.

“Preparations are complete. Dismissal.”

‘I will not break down. For one order.’

When subordinates announce that they are ready to leave. He was in his own room and picked up his sword.

This sword, which looks powerful even from the outside, is the devil’s sword imbued with the power of the devil, and a holy sword stained with the blood of a warrior.

It was also the strongest basis for his belief.
