Chapter 127 – The Hero Occupied the Great Forest
“Hey, what the hell is this?”
As I headed towards the place where the elves lived, Isabella, who found me, shouted that in her shrill voice her.
Not surprisingly, next to the elves who were resting after the war, fully armed knights of the empire were holding out their swords.
She was, of course, more than enough to feel betrayed by Isabella.
But that was her Isabella’s circumstances her, and I did n’t feel the slightest apology for giving her a chance in the first place.
“What have you done? In order to protect the elves who cannot protect the Great Forest on their own, it means that the Empire lends its strength in particular.”
In an instant, Duke Cablowjob, who appeared from among the knights, could be seen saying that to Isabella.
And the Duke, who had given the Elf Queen a proper blow, was waving his hand toward me with a happy expression.
“Oh, Father?”
Even Genoa didn’t seem to know that his father, Cablowjob, would invade this place, but I didn’t.
It was Duke Cablowjob who proposed this strategy to me in the first place, and I was the one who ordered Karen to fire the signal flares in line with his strategy.
Of course, the fact that Cablowjob’s forces occupied the elven village so quickly was attributable to Genoa’s burning down the forest in the middle.
‘The more I think about it, the more terrifying the talent is.’
I let out a wry smile from Genoa as she looked at her father with a bewildered expression.
Previously, it was one of the biggest headaches for me, but it was Genoa that showed power beyond imagination depending on how it was used.
“Are you here?”
“Oh yeah. Thanks to you, I came here very comfortably. Burning and eating the forests of elves, you really have a different scale.”
“That’s what your daughter did.”
“Yes? Genoa?”
At the revealed truth, Duke Cablowjob looked at his daughter with his curious eyes, but it was a gaze full of pride.
In the end, after confirming that my daughter and father were of the same blood, I slowly approached Isabella.
“Queen, you look good.”
“Warrior… Was this your plan?”
When I spat out words, Isabella also responded with words.
However, in the first place, there was no reason to feel bad that she, who is much older than me and has a high status, spoke in her kind language her.
I smiled and flicked my index finger in front of Isabella as if to place her medicine in her.
“No, no. My plan from the beginning was for elves, dark elves, and beastmen to protect the Great Forest together. It was the Queen who rejected it.”
“Quit. With unreasonable conditions… Are you blaming me?”
At my words, Isabella asked with an indignant expression.
It wasn’t exactly Isabella’s fault her, but if she felt that way, she had nothing to say.
“Anyway, as you heard, the Great Forest will be protected by the Empire from now on. Of course, including the Dark Elves and Beasts.”
“The bullshit…”
“Ah, if you don’t like it that much, shall we start by burning the world tree first?”
At my words, Isabella’s mouth fell shut.
In an instant, the atmosphere of the elves, who were being threatened by the swords of the imperial knights, was also seen to change.
Even if they died, they showed a will to protect the world tree, but even if they chose the wrong opponent, they chose the wrong one for a long time.
“If even one of them rebels, they will immediately fire fire magic at the World Tree… Where have you been?”
I sighed as I saw the elves giving off a hideous aura.
They must have seen with their own eyes what kind of power Karen showed in today’s battle.
No matter how sacred the world tree was to the elves, it was still just a tree.
“OK. Doesn’t everyone seem to have anything more to say? It’s late at night, everyone, get some rest.”
I said that to the elves staring at me.
Cablowjob’s quick-witted subordinates divided the elves into districts and began monitoring them.
Unless it was tolerable, the elves, who had been deprived of all their weapons, seemed distant from succeeding in the rebellion.
“… Hero, isn’t this unexpected?”
“Lightsword!”
The lightsaber, who had been quietly observing the situation until then, asked me, and Duke Cablowjob, who finally found him, called his name with an uncomfortable expression.
Old Man Cablowjob, the Duke of the Empire, was in front of him, but the lightsaber didn’t care about him at all.
His gaze was only on me, and he was sending his eyes asking for an explanation.
“As you know, the Dark Elves and Beast Tribes are going to live in the Great Forest. But the queen rejected him. It was an inevitable choice for me.”
“But this is too…”
“It is oppressive. I know. But the Empire will not benefit from this.”
I said so to the lightsaber who spoke in a disgruntled voice.
It was not likely that he was out of favor with the elves.
However, the lightsaber was also a person with a fairly high position in his kingdom, and he was in a position to be anxious about the growing power of the empire.
I said that to alleviate the anxiety, and the lightsaber just looked at me with a troubled expression at my words his.
“… Can you take responsibility for that?”
Of course, not a single word changed anything.
However, there is nothing that even a lightsaber can do right now.
No matter how strong he is, it was impossible to deal with me and my party, as well as Duke Cablowjob and his knights.
“Yes. And I will pay off this debt separately.”
I said that to the lightsaber who eventually took a step back.
It meant that someday, if there was a problem with the Kingdom of Lightsaber, he would help, but the lightsaber was more impatient than I thought.
“Pay that debt now.”
“Yes?”
“I mean my disciple. He wants you to hang out with him, how is it?”
I looked at Lucille with surprised eyes at the words of the lightsaber.
Lucille just looked at me with that blunt expression, whether it was because the conversation with the lightsaber had already ended, or if she wasn’t expressing much emotion.
My decision was quick.
As for Lucille, she has high-level swordsmanship skills, and she is also a woman who does not fall for anything.
Moreover, there was no reason to do it because she was the one who thought it would be nice to taste her at least once.
“That is exactly what I wanted to ask you.”
“Greatness.”
I replied to the lightsaber, and he smiled and held out his hand to me.
Duke Cablowjob, who saw me and the lightsaber shaking hands, showed an uncomfortable expression.
Then he came up to me separately and whispered in my ear.
“But, is Jeongsil Genoa?”
I just laughed awkwardly at Duke Cablowjob’s unexpected words of his.
**
It was a situation where they took over the elven village without shedding a single drop of real blood, and the uproar quickly ended.
Duke Cablowjob quietly searched around her village to find the elf who had possessed him, but for some reason she was invisible.
Not particularly interested in other people’s love affairs, I tried to go back to my tent.
“I… Warrior?”
“Yes? Marian. What happened?”
I asked Marianne who grabbed me.
I wasn’t stupid and I didn’t know why she was holding me.
However, having already given him a chance, and having Duke Cablowjob, an aristocrat of the empire, not knowing a lightsaber, could be a bit of a headache to embrace Marian.
Well, I thought it would n’t be a problem when I saw her talking about being credulous because of Lucille’s work her, but I didn’t have to take the risk.
Because she was a saint, it was a position where she had to be careful of even the slightest rumor.
In addition, it was quite fun to watch Marianne grunt as if she dropped the cookie she wanted after putting it in her hand her.
“Oh, nothing.”
As I stared at Marianne, she leaned over her head to her, and she said so.
Looking at her like that, Darcy Nyan just shook her head with a pathetic expression.
“You must be tired from the battle, everyone take a good rest today.”
I said so to my companions and went into my tent.
However, originally, humans, no, intelligent creatures did not listen to others, and originally, politics was more a dark place than a bright place.
Due to Duke Cablowjob’s participation his in the war, the weight of power in the Great Forest has completely tilted towards me.
In that situation, the first person who came to me was Dalsignian, not anyone else.
“Hero, I have something to tell you.”
