Episode 385: The Elves (5)

The head of the deer cavalry shattered upon impact, and those following behind were pierced and killed.

Some quick-witted ones turned around, but my infantry was the elite of the elite. Following my command, they sprinted out in a short-range charge, slaughtering the fleeing soldiers.

—Thwack!

—Boom!

Complete annihilation.

Nevertheless, the ones at the very back bolted away quickly. Those kinds of guys were the ones who survived no matter what. But I couldn’t let them escape.

“Pixies!”

“Yes!”

—Whoosh!

The waiting pixies flew up all at once.

The deer cavalry had used shields and sword aura spells while charging. That meant their mana was depleted.

—Shriek!

The pixies’ concentrated wind cutter fire engulfed the fleeing soldiers. They deployed shields and held out for a moment, but eventually, their mana ran out.

The moment their shields were dispelled.

—Boom!

They were attacked and fell.

The cavalry was also wearing full body armor, and the muscular deer were also armored, but like all armor, there are bound to be gaps. For pixies who do nothing but practice flying and shooting, that’s like a big target.

The pixies hit their weak points perfectly.

“Nice! Well done!”

With that, the entire elven deer cavalry was wiped out. If the archers had kept our pixies in check, they wouldn’t have been able to hit them. But the enemies came within range where their allies couldn’t support them.

That was their downfall.

You always had to be prepared to receive backup.

“Our victory! We’ve crushed all the elven cavalry!”

Declaration of victory.

“Keryaaaak! Even the elven knights are no match for us!”

“Keruk!”

“Kerueueuk!”

The goblins, intoxicated with victory, emitted a fierce light and shouted. Yes, we unilaterally crushed the enemy’s knights. As warriors, how could their hearts not race!

“Well done, my warriors! Your strength pleases me and terrifies the elves!”

“Kerueueuk!”

—Whoosh!

Soon, the pixies returned.

Let’s clean up after the war was over.

“We’ll take care of the corpses and spoils later! Reorganize the formation!”

“Understood! Keruk!”

I immediately looked towards the queen.

“Hahahaha!”

That side also achieved a perfect victory. Led by Rexabella, the dark elf elite warriors had slaughtered all the elven greatsword soldiers who had charged in.

“If you’ve finished, return!”

“Hahaha, okay!”

The queen, answering cheerfully, led her subordinates back.

“What’s the damage?”

“Yeah. Fifteen wounded. Among them, five seriously wounded were sent back. No deaths. That’s it.”

Looking around, the wounded were being transported. The dark nuns were quickly running around, providing first aid and treatment. They’re doing very well, just as they were trained.

I was worried about the wounded, but with Reika and the saintess here, there shouldn’t be any problems. They’ll all came to their senses after receiving treatment and resting well.

“You’ve worked hard. We need to take good care of the wounded. Write a report about this battle later.”

“I will.”

“What about Vera’s forces?”

“I don’t know about that?”

“Right. I’ll have to ask Vera’s forces about that.”

I went and asked the commander. Unfortunately, Vera’s forces suffered nearly twenty deaths.

No wonder the greatsword soldiers were coming in like cutting through reeds. They all seemed to have been cut down. I expressed my condolences and sent a pixie to inform Vera of the casualties.

But a messenger was running towards me, as if crossing paths with the pixie.

“They’ve requested support for the lady! They say a fire giant has appeared!”

“What?!

A fire giant?

Could that be a spirit?

“Everyone! Let’s go quickly!”

“Yes!”

I roughly knew what spirits were. Something made of elements… Vera said they were about the size of a person, but a giant?

Anyway, when we arrived.

“Gasp!”

There really was a fire giant.

“Kuaaaaaaaah!”

Giants of flame, about 2.5 meters tall, were swinging their fists, crushing Vera’s infantry!

Was that what they called a spirit?!

That’s a tremendous weapon!

“Aaaaaagh!”

“Aaaaaaaaagh!”

Because they were made of flame, normal attacks didn’t work! The right flank was on the verge of collapse!

“Kyaaak! What is that!”

“Master! It’s fire, fire!”

“This can’t be…!”

Serinu, Sharan, and Lumica covered their mouths with both hands, shocked.

There’s only one way!

“Lumica! Water cannon at them!”

“Y-yes! Got it!”

—Swoosh!

Lumica stretched out both hands forward. An aura of water streams formed around her. Lumica emitted a fierce light along with a blue glow, and.

“Haaaap!”

Water cannon was fired from her hands!

—Tukwakakakaka!

The fierce water stream that was fired struck the flame giant, and the giant knelt on one knee with a small explosion, then collapsed and disappeared as if melting in water.

“Such water being released in a place without water!”

Giant cut!

“Lumica! Fire!”

“Yes!”

—Swoosh!

As if swinging a huge sword, Lumica swung her arms wide while continuously firing the water cannon, spraying water on the soldiers and crushing the flame giants.

“Waaaaaah!”

“Uooooooooh!”

Vera’s soldiers, who had survived death, shouted. This was good. Humans would like us.

That was a good thing for us.

“Good!”

I looked around. There were no more places to fight. The enemy deer cavalry, greatsword soldiers, and flame spirits were all annihilated, and only the remaining elven infantry was retreating forlornly.

With this, the first battle was roughly over.

No matter how I looked at it, it was our victory.

By winning the battle, we dampened the elves’ momentum. I immediately had my soldiers rest to recover their condition, and then,

“Advance to the mountain! Advance!”

I began the mountain assault.

“Keruk!”

“Keureureuk!”

Vera’s army followed, firmly supporting our right flank. If we captured that mountain, we’d be able to easily capture the castle.

We had to push when we were winning. We had to drive them all at once while they were disoriented by the unexpected situation.

Why else would the elite deer cavalry and greatsword soldiers have been crushed? It’s all because they misjudged our combat power. They had no choice but to be defeated because they didn’t know our true strength.

Let’s go before they gather information!

—Shwaaaaaaak!

—Shwaaaak!

Arrows flew from the mountain.

—Pik!

—Pik!

But they can’t penetrate the goblin infantry armed with iron armor. I followed behind my subordinates, protected by the dark nuns’ shields.

“Dieeeeee!”

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaa!”

As we climbed, we heard the elves’ shouts from above. They had formed a defensive line. A defensive line to stop us.

“Keryaaaak!”

“Kerueueuk!”

The goblins shouted back.

Meanwhile.

“Imps! Prepare to throw!”

“Keureureuk!”

We deployed specialized pitchers with abnormally developed right arm muscles. Of course, we were not planning to set the mountain on fire. If we set fire here, we could get burned too.

They were throwing something else.

“Throw!”

“Keureureureuk!”

“Keureureuk!”

—Shwaaaak!

The imps throw small pouches. As they flew, the pouches’ openings came undone, and small seeds scattered in all directions.

Those pouches flew very far.

“Sharan, it’s time to shine.”

“Shasha!”

Sharan was overflowing with enthusiasm.

“I believe in Sharan!”

“Go, Sharan! Show them your power!”

“Sha!”

—Paaat!

Sharan lowered her stance slightly and pointed her palms downward.

—Goooooo.

Soon, a green aura began to swirl from Sharan’s toes. The swirling aura spread around and seeped into the ground and trees.

“Sha…!”

The moment a fierce light burst from Sharan’s eyes.

—Buddeudeuk!

Plants around her began to sprout wildly. A scene as if nature itself overflowing with vitality. Too mystical, but what’s about to happen was far from mystical and just terrifying.

—Budeudeuk!

—Budeuk!

Plants sprouted even in the distance.

The pouches the imps threw earlier were filled with seeds of plant towers.

The elven infantry guarding the defensive line.

Something strange happened to them.

“Huh?”

“Huhhhhh!”

Suddenly.

—Swooooooosh!

Unknown monstrous plants began to grow abnormally fast in front of, beside, and behind them.

“This is crazy! What is this!”

“Get rid of them! Get rid of them!”

The elven infantry, drawing their swords, quickly cut down the growing plants. But the number of plants was beyond imagination. They grew faster than they could cut them down.

—Budeuk!

The plant that finished growing.

—Jjeooooook!

Opened its jaws.

“Uaaaaagh?!”

“This is insane!”

It opened its huge, toothed plant jaws and fiercely attacked the elves. Such things happened before their eyes. Their comrades’ upper bodies were swallowed, and the eaten elves thrashed their legs, leaving only their lower bodies out.

Pandemonium.

“R-run away!”

“Retreat upwards!”

The defensive line began to collapse in an instant. Huge man-eating plants that sprouted everywhere devoured the defenders.

Even a strange, beaked, colorful flower that sprouted from a tree shot out seeds. The power of those seeds was like arrows.

Moreover, vines growing from the ground were tripping them.

“Save meeeeee!”

An elven soldier who was running away fell, and he was devoured by the plant, leaving only a miserable last word.
