Living trees opened the northern gate from inside, revealing the crimson bloom of the red burning flames within. A smile surfaced on my lips, but the cruel thoughts that lingered within my mind, made that smile come out cold and cruel.
“The demihumans are allies! Those who surrender, capture them! Those who fight, end them! Go!” I led the horde through the gates while I swung Flamberge from my shoulders.
“Don’t let the goblins leave you behind! Onwards!” The araneae, Nikea, said from the darkness.
Fire spread to the trees, dyeing the elven village in the red hue of the flames. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before the flames burned everything.
“At this rate, the village will…” Some elves spoke among themselves anxiously.
Unfortunately, we don’t have the leisure to hold back. The enemy forces are at least twice as big ours. On top of that, they’re outfitted with superior equipment. We have to fight like this if we are to win.
“Defeat the enemy quickly, then extinguish the flames. If you’re worried about the village, then defeat the enemy first!” Fei told the anxious elves.
His words were reckless, but they were agreeable words.
If we don’t defeat the enemy here, setting the village on fire would have been for naught.
“Let us settle things here once and for all!” Fei said.
With that his men finally showed some resolve.
As the elves picked up their bow and sword, I ran after Fei and ran alongside him.
I thank him for getting the elves in order, but he shook his head and said, “It wasn’t for your sake. Someone had to tell them, and we couldn’t possibly push that onto Master Shure.”
He nocked an arrow as he ran, barely stopping even as he shot it toward the elves.
A worrywart for his master, huh.
“WooOON!” Cynthia, a daughter of the fang tribe despite being born away from it, led the pack of gray wolves to the south ahead of us. Behind her were the giant gray wolves as they made their way for the Fang Tribe.
“”Gi Jii Yubu! Move your forces from the north to the west! Limit the enemy’s escape route!” I commanded.
“As you command!” He responded.
The battle demon, Gi Jii Yubu. He has grown enough that I can now feel at ease leaving one side of the army to him. The newly evolved rare goblins, Gi Ah (One Who Encroaches into the Divine Region), Gi Ii (Explorer), and the Ferocious Gi Ba are with him as his assistants.
“Gi Ji Arsil! Move your forces to the east and stop the enemy at the south! Don’t get caught in the fire!” I commanded.
“As you will!” He responded.
Ru Rou and Hal from the tribes are with Gi Ji Arsil. The araneae chieftain, Nikea, is with him as well.
I’m a little worried, but he should have more than enough firepower to take down some panicking elves.
“Rashka, Fei, Gi Za Zakuend! Lead your forces and follow me! We’re going south!”
“My fists will make songs out of their skulls!” Rashka said.
“Very well!” Fei said.
“Exactly as I was hoping for!” Gi Za Zakuend said.
Like that we followed after Cynthia.
Our army consisted of elves, normal goblins, and even druids, which the shaman, Gi Za Zakuend, led. The wind magician, Gi Do, and the water magician, Gi U, are under him well.
Rashka is following me because I couldn’t think of anyone else he’d be willing to follow. As a member of Gaidga and their chief, his power as a duke class is something to fear.
Gi Jii has just recently become a noble and Gi Ji has only started to get his feet into commandership, so since I couldn’t leave Rashka with anyone, I decided to just take him with me instead.
As I ran while giving commands, Shumea ran up to me.
“Boss, let me go too!” She said.
The distant fire illuminated Selena’s face, who was behind her.
“Sure, I don’t mind. Though it sure is rare to hear something like that from you,” I said.
She wasn’t the type to seek battles out on her own.
—Oh I see… It must be because of that person Selena is looking for.
“Don’t worry, we just have some errand to take care of!” Shumea said as she took Selena with her and left, spear in hand.
She could have asked for my help, and yet she didn’t. She probably considers it something personal.
But I did promise to help…
