289 – The Great War (9)

Episode 289 – The Great War (9)

“El, they are elves! “The elves are coming!”

“Hurry and defend the castle!”

At that time, Orca left for the north and defeated the army of the Dwarven Kingdom, and Seunghyeon helped new immigrants and encouraged them to help the outside world. The large army of elves led by Serenian was advancing into the territory of the empire and charging at them at a furious pace.

“Wizards! “Hurry up and fire!”

The main army of the empire built and operated huge airships, and Eden began constructing numerous tracks and rolling trains, but many parts of the continent still had a defense system that was no different from the past.

In case of emergency, a fairly classic system of gathering in a fortress and holding a sit-in, bombarding enemies with magic, and keeping in check those who try to climb the castle walls with arrows and spears.

However, this traditional defense system had long since been discovered by the elves supported by Eden.

“You, there are too many…”

“Ugh! “The elves are climbing over the castle wall!”

The elves, who had gained mobility comparable to that of existing nomads through their encounter with fairy ants, possessed even greater siege warfare capabilities.

The mana-filled arrows they shoot have a longer range and are more powerful than ordinary arrows. While those arrows protect the people from daring to stick their heads out of the walls, heavily armed men are openly climbing the walls.

If the castle wall is conquered in that way, the advantage of the castle wall is virtually gone.

They took over the castle so quickly that it was hard to believe that they were carrying out a siege.

“There is no response at all. “I’m sure they knew about us.”

“Or maybe they knew about it but failed to stop it.”

Serenian’s face hardened at the thought of a major that was so easy that it was embarrassing. He didn’t think that his enemies were fools and would really be idle.

In fact, Orca had already cleared out the northern dwarven army at this point and was heading to the other direction.

‘We cannot occupy this land. ‘To end the war, our own strength is not enough.’

Serenian looked around. In a short period of time, the elves attacked and captured quite a few castles and cities.

But in the end, they were just the frontier areas of a vast empire, and even though they advocated true goodness, they could not massacre the people in the occupied areas.

In order to inflict a significant blow, you had to capture an important base city or the imperial capital located deep inland, but driving the fairy ants there was literally a suicidal charge into the enemy camp with enemies spread out everywhere.

In the first place, the reason the elves attacked and disrupted the southern part of the empire was to divert attention and drain power, not to occupy the land.

“The regent of the empire is a dictator who tries to rule the world with a vain dictatorship. He will definitely be defeated in this war, so why not join our alliance?”

The method chosen by Serenian, who was considering various practical issues, was to appease the people of the occupied territories. It wasn’t a particularly difficult task since he had already done it several times.

“Of course, we are not happy with an empire that takes over our homeland and imposes its order through coercive methods. But please have mercy. “They forced my sons to enter the Imperial Capital Academy and used them as hostages.”

However, the local leaders who heard Serenian’s proposal did not accept the appeasement. This was because Orca had already created its own system so that it could never betray.

The elves, including Serenian, sighed at the cruel and cunning treatment of Orca.

They said that they would rather die alone while remaining loyal than the deaths of all their family members who had betrayed the empire and been taken hostage.

“Wow, this is a big deal! It is said that the Imperial Regent has appeared on the Eastern Front!”

Moreover, urgent news arrived. The news delivered through Eden finally reached them.

“D-the dwarf king was harmed? For one orca? Nonsense!”

In particular, those who knew the skills of Karson and Orca, like Kara, were astonished to hear that Orca was at the forefront and drove out the Dwarf Kingdom’s elite troops, including the Dwarf King.

Of course, Serenian’s brow couldn’t help but furrow when he heard the news.

“Can the Eastern Front be maintained at that level?”

“It’s impossible. “He’s at the level where he could take over a castle by himself.”

Kara, whose face turned pale at Serenian’s words, shook her head. And after hearing those words, Serenian finally made a decision.

“I will go. “If the front line falls, we lose.”

“Well, then I’ll go with you.”

“No. Kara-sama, I think we should charge to the imperial capital, the heart of the empire, with the main force.”

While everyone was confused, she saw something about her and her eyes sparkled. If the other party’s commander-in-chief wants to create variables by moving directly, his allies should also create variables in the same way, rather than being swayed.

If the strongest person was absent, it could also be said that the imperial capital is now empty. Although it was crazy, Serenian thought that this level of gambling was necessary to win.

“No matter how Anhamuin is a dictator, in the end, a regent is just a regent. He will have no choice but to come running because the emperor of the empire he serves is in danger. If he cannot protect the Emperor, Orca loses his entire cause.”

It seemed like the war was dragging on and on, but she had no intention of dragging this war on for a long time. As long as they hold onto resources that can be said to be virtually endless, they will win if they can stop just one Orca.

If her central point, Orca, disappears, this huge empire created by individual Orca using her own force will inevitably fall into pieces.

‘If possible, we will settle the matter.’

Serenian began to march back that way with his small force. She went all the way to the great forest, rode a scarab beetle she had called, and soared into the sky at once. He planned to fly to the Eastern Front where Orca appeared and stop him himself.

“Well, I heard that the Sword Saint’s strength is at an incredible level, but you should never fight alone.”

“Of course, I have no intention of dealing with it alone. But that doesn’t change the fact that in the end he has to stop him.”

Lin, who was driving the rhinoceros beetle, spoke in a worried voice, but she could not get rid of it. It’s literally a war for everyone.

If any one of the forces currently maintaining the front lines goes over, they will all be unable to set foot on this land.

‘No matter how much Eden exists, it can’t be like that.’

She also knew intuitively that it was impossible to take all those people to Eden. So we had to win this war.

“I never thought you would come in person. But I feel reassured that you came here.”

“I can’t believe the situation is that bad.”

“The strongest has become stronger. Of course, existing people can’t stand up to him.”

Late at night. Venert, who had come out of her barracks and was waiting for her, lowered her head with a sigh. Even as she flew all the way here, Orca was already winning one victory after another with the imperial army.

That fear spread within the Federation, to the point where they avoided fighting with the imperial army.

“The only person who can stop the Sword Saint is a new hero who did not exist during the Great War.”

Benert looked at Serenian, mentioning the new hero. Now that name has spread far and wide, and her reputation as the Elf Queen is high, but before, she was just a high elf in the Great Forest.

‘It went rather well. ‘I will use this opportunity to tie the knot neatly and end this war.’

Serenian, who was burdened with a great weight, came up with a plan to catch Orca. At the same time, he was sure that she would definitely not avoid the orca.

Because you, too, are delicious food.

“Oh my god, what on earth is this?”

“Secret weapons prepared for use in this war.”

Literally everything was mobilized. Serenian, who was the first to join the alliance and used measures to shock even Benert, who was familiar with items from Eden, deliberately ordered the other party to leak information that he was here.

“The Imperial Army is coming here. “It will arrive soon.”

As she expected, Orca did not reject the challenge. The panic at the very beginning of the war was gone, and many imperial troops, with their morale recharged after winning again, began to march to this important base on the eastern front, where Serenian was located.

“The elf army is now rushing towards the imperial palace. Now it’s our turn to tie the orca’s feet.”

To boost the morale of her allies, she informed them that tens of thousands of elves were now charging into the heart of the enemy’s defense line, smashing it all at once.

Being vaguely defensive and holding out to bide time are two different concepts.

There is no reason for either side to avoid this battle.
