Chapter 135. two faces (2)
“I will move now.”
I said with confidence.
Of course, there was a reason.
‘I can’t build my pride here.’
Balak is a clever orc.
Also, his patience was very good compared to previous Orc corps commanders.
If it was Balak, there was no way he wouldn’t ask for help from the Dark Elves.
“Balak must have originally intended to devour the kingdom with the power of the Legion alone.
but… .”
That thought would be gone now.
The commander let out a laugh.
“In short, you’re saying that you’ve won so much that you’ve changed your mind? To arouse his sense of danger.”
“That’s right.”
“… Heh heh, indeed.”
“Of course, this is still just speculation.”
“no. I agree.”
The commander, who gave strength to my remarks, continued with a serious expression.
“Until now, it was difficult to see that the monsters were doing their best.”
The words were blocking the road with the Empire, because the Dark Elves were actually wasted power.
It is only when they step out that a proper war begins.
“… It’s difficult.”
“… … .”
Joining the Dark Elves meant more than simply increasing the number of enemies.
The commander noticed it right away.
“It won’t be like before.”
“… Probably, it will.”
When the Dark Elves join in, night raids become impossible.
Unlike the orcs who couldn’t chase us, they’ll be able to bite us enough.
Even if it was that much, it would be trampled on by the belatedly joining orcs, and the night raid would fail.
“after. But unlike Orcs, Dark Elves had a lot of experience. The defense will work somehow.”
“… … .”
The commander said so, well.
I wasn’t sure
‘I don’t have too much information.’
Don’t you even know who the current corps commander is right now?
There is a world of difference between fighting knowingly and fighting ignorantly.
This is because the authority they wield differs depending on who is the commander of the corps.
‘… I can roughly guess.’
There are at least two people who can guess.
However, as the two have completely different tendencies, I had to know for sure.
‘I can’t leave it to chance.’
The commander also expressed agreement on this part.
But it was an embarrassing look.
“But there is no way to find out.”
“I have a plan.”
“What… !? What is it?”
“… … .”
Commander asking like crazy.
After a moment of silence, I began to explain in detail.
And the commanders who heard that it was a plan were all stunned.
I understood them
“… … .”
The meeting hall became quiet in an instant.
After a while, the commander, who was the first to come to his senses, asked carefully.
“… Hey, can you really do it?”
Faced with a mixed expression of worry and surprise, he answered calmly.
“of course.”
and the next day.
I left the castle with Noah.
* * *
A deep gorge between kingdoms and empires.
At first glance, it looked like there was nothing there, but in reality, Dark Elves were tightly packed inside the canyon.
Then, ‘thump… .’ The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard in the distance.
“… hmm?”
At this, Luna, who had been lying down with a bored expression, raised her head.
And saw.
Legion orcs were approaching from afar, looking around.
‘messenger?’
Luna nodded.
Then, the surrounding shadows shook, and a dark elf appeared in front of the orc before he knew it.
“Chwiik!”
The startled orc spattered.
The elf standing in front of it distorted his expression sternly as if he had been poisoned.
“Whoa… .”
Soon, he returned to his expressionless expression, wiped his saliva, and asked in a cool tone.
“… What’s your business?”
“Kuruk, this is the message from the corps commander.”
Similarly, the displeased orc left immediately after handing over the letter.
The Dark Elf handed the letter to Luna.
Luna read the letter.
Her eyes widened as she read through the letter.
I muttered involuntarily.
“… oh.”
I guessed that something had happened at the time the messenger came, but beyond that, there was something hard to believe.
‘Did you lose?’
That’s why they say they need support because there’s a troop gap.
Aside from the bad relations between the races, I tend to trust the strength of the legion.
Because of this, Luna never thought that Balak would lose to the kingdom.
So it was even more surprising.
“What is it about?”
“You are asking for help.”
“… ! is he?”
“Surprisingly yes. Things don’t look good.”
You could tell just by looking at the carefully written letter how angry he was.
Recalling Balak’s distorted face, Luna smiled.
Then, the adjutant asked cautiously.
With a face that couldn’t hide his displeasure.
“… Are you going?”
“Then let’s go, what should I do?”
At first, I didn’t need it, so I put it in the canyon, and when it’s urgent, I call it.
It was a very unpleasant treatment, but it was impossible not to go to the corps commander’s official request for support.
‘… We can’t attract each other.’
Luna thought so.
“We leave tonight. We only need to leave some of our troops behind. I don’t think the Empire will move right now anyway.”
“All right.”
Night came soon, and the Dark Elves went back a long way.
Sadal then arose.
* * *
late night.
30,000 Dark Elves crossed the canyon and entered the mountains.
It was a force that hurriedly moved to the border in response to Balak’s request for support.
Bassrock. fault!
They moved at high speed on the trees with light gestures.
“… It’s ridiculous.”
At that time, the largest outermost elf.
Eeyore clicked his tongue and murmured.
It was because he couldn’t understand the current situation emotionally.
It was the orcs who told me to step back first.
So I kept my back.
I felt a little bad, but it was okay.
Anyway, I thought it wouldn’t matter as long as I won, as long as the results were good.
‘… I did.’
But what does this mean?
The accident was hit by the orcs, and they failed terribly, so it seems like they’re going to go after them now.
To him, who was proud enough to call himself a nobleman of the night, this was very disrespectful.
“… … .”
However, being in a bad mood is bad, and it was an order from the corps commander, so there was no other way.
From noble mtl dot com
“Damn, cheeky things… .”
That’s why when he diligently moves his feet and pours out only curse words.
Someone approached from the side.
“… … .”
“… … ?”
Embarrassed by the sudden narrowing of the distance, Eeyore hesitated and widened the distance.
And I narrowed my eyes.
‘… mask?’
It was because he was dressed very unusually, as if he was on a mission.
Only the eyes of the opponent were visible, and the rest of the face was covered by a mask.
No, the rest of the clothes were so thick that not a single piece of skin could be seen.
It was only possible to infer the gender through the curves of the body.
“… … .”
“????”
The opponent who comes to you as if he has something to say and just stares at you.
Eeyore asked in bewilderment at this.
“What, what?”
The opponent opened his mouth only then. A calm voice flowed out.
“soldier. What is your rank?”
“… !?”
Eeyore stumbled in the air at the sudden question.
And with a sharp expression, he handed over an obvious question instead of an answer.
“Wouldn’t it be better if I spoke first?”
“… … .”
Opponent did not answer. Instead, the answer was replaced by another method.
she woke up
ugh… !
“ah… !”
Eeyore’s forearms gave goose bumps at the overwhelming magi that surrounded them.
At the same time, I realized like a thunderbolt.
Because of the overwhelmingly thick demonic energy, the person in front of me did not dare to speak comfortably.
‘This is Vice-captain Min!’
Something was swearing, and the way he spoke in his strange clothes seemed to have just woken up.
Beyond that, the difference in status was absolute for the monsters.
Eeyore answered politely.
“… This is Eeyore, an intermediate member.”
“… … .”
“Do you have any orders for me?”
Then the opponent nodded.
It was quite a taciturn boss.
“Hey, what is that?”
“… Before that, the soldier was dissatisfied with this support?”
“… ! Oh, it… !”
I hope you’ve heard of it
“Neither do I.”
“… Accidentally, um?”
“So, I’m going to entrust you with a mission.”
The mission was of a kind he had never expected.
“There is a messenger in front of me.”
“Yes… .”
The orc messenger left during the day, but it seemed that he was caught up because of the speed difference in the forest.
“You kill me.”
“… Yes?!”
“I can look after you.”
“… … .”
Why are you issuing this order?
Eeyore pondered for a moment, then realized.
‘Me too,’ he said.
‘Right.’
He was also dissatisfied with the support, so he couldn’t understand it without taking care of at least one cheeky messenger.
The reason he didn’t step out himself was probably because he was concerned that this would turn into a big problem.
“Can you?”
“… of course.”
Eeyore laughed bitterly.
It wasn’t risk-free, but it was a matter of not getting caught.
And he was confident that he would assassinate at least one orc without leaving any evidence that could identify him.
“Please leave it to me.”
“… … .”
… fault!
He quietly left the main unit.
After about ten minutes of running in the direction indicated by the unidentified superior, I felt something in front of me.
It must be an orc messenger.
Slurreung… !
Eeyore drew her sword.
Then I slowed down a bit and approached him stealthily.
“… … .”
Even when the distance was close to around 10 meters, the orc didn’t seem to notice the opponent’s presence.
‘A stupid thing.’
Eeyore let out a fishy laugh.
After cutting the head for now, it would be fine to treat it as if it had been attacked by a witch.
After organizing his thoughts, Eeyore threw himself at the opponent.
‘die! … uh?’
And I noticed it too late.
That the opponent is very dwarfed for an Orc.
no, orc… ?
‘… Not an Orc!?’
The opponent was a human.
‘what… !’
Why are humans here? No, why did he lie like this?
Many questions filled my head… .
There was no time to think about it.
“… Are you good at acting?”
Jjoeok!!
It was because he was hit head-on by the fist of the opponent who was muttering backwards, and he lost consciousness in an instant.
fluff.
The area hit wasn’t very good, so I couldn’t stand it and collapsed.
‘sh*t… uh?’
Between his eyes, which were heavily closed, he could see the figure of the person who had been following him for some time.
She approached the human and tore off the mask that was clinging to her face.
Right after that, Eeyore’s head turned white in an instant due to the shock as if she had been hit in the back of the head.
“what… .”
I could see the clean, curved skin.
The opponent was not a Dark Elf from the beginning.
“Then who are you… .”
I asked, but a fist came back instead of an answer. Eeyore couldn’t stand it.
‘ah.’
His thoughts were cut off here.
