Chapter 1 – Prologue: Captivated by the Elves.
My whole body was heavy.
Even the two hands holding the hilt did not move properly.
“Fuck.”
Spat out insults.
She had been warned many times not to use foul language, but it seemed okay for now.
“Where did the troops who were supposed to come to support go!”
“You must have run away right away! Damn, it’s just us!”
“Then how to stop those monstrous bitches! Damn you guys, for abandoning us all!”
The voices of the knights hit my ears.
Angry and desperate,
It was a cry that only those who were betrayed by their allies and besieged by their enemies could make it.
Yes. We were betrayed to the same humans. Being shunned by the royal family and the military, who were the objects of their loyalty, they were eventually caught and put in a position where they had no choice but to suffer disgrace.
“Looks like you’ve exhausted yourself after all.”
“I heard that you defeated the Ardena Warriors. But now I wouldn’t have the strength left to fight.”
Unlike human round ears,
Knights with elongated ears gradually approached me.
Elf.
It is a race famous for having a much longer lifespan and beautiful appearance than other races.
I love the forest and the trees.
It has a closed nature that strictly prohibits exchanges with other races. They like cute and beautiful things, but they do not eat meat and have nature-friendly properties to adapt to nature. And was known to love peace and eternity.
—However.
The common sense I knew was completely destroyed on this day.
“Cheuk!!”
“Retreat! Retreat!
The elves with weapons began a one-sided offensive. Surrounded, soldiers betrayed by their allies were busy throwing down their weapons and surrendering.
Volunteered to become slaves of the elves.
Since it was difficult to return alive, he decided to surrender with the determination to preserve his life.
Even warlike elves who love war and fighting are merciful to prisoners of war. It was because the country of the elves, the country of the elves, was a country that was run around slavery. Prisoners of war were slaves and labor force with very valuable value, so I know that they were treated very politely until they were sent to the Elven country and sold in the slave market.
“Everyone retreat! I stand last!”
Shouted at his subordinates.
Then the subordinates said, “That can’t be!” “Didn’t we all decide to die and live together?” He shouted.
I wanted to express my gratitude for the comradeship of my subordinates. But now was not the time to show off comradeship. Because I sincerely hoped that my subordinates would abandon me and run away.
“After fighting the Ardena warrior chief, we fought non-stop day and night for three days.”
“Looks like you’ve exhausted yourself in the end. Seeing that you can’t even hold a sword properly. Even a strong man called the Seven Swords of the Kingdom will eventually have a limit on his physical strength.”
Elf female knights approached.
Knights of Helenwood.
They were the elite knights in the country of the elves and the subordinates of Ardena, the warrior leader whom he had defeated in a duel.
It seemed that his subordinates were out to avenge the disgrace the captain had suffered. The elves were as loyal as our men. It must have been driving me into a corner for these few days in order to extract from me the cost of that disgrace. It seemed that they were planning to catch me and bring me to Ardena.
“The Seven Swords of the Kingdom of Valois, Gilead, the God of Restoration! Even if my life crosses Valhalla, I won’t die easily from you demons!”
He shouted as he took off his helmet.
The elves firmly gripped the hilt.
Dozens of elven knights attacked me sequentially, exhausting my stamina.
I hate to admit it, but I had to admit it. Elf knights were pros in war. He knew how to subdue his opponent. It must be a fighting method derived from the experience gained from traveling through numerous battlefields. In the end, I was taken prisoner by the elves after fighting for half a day in a state where my whole body was numb.
“To hold out for half a day….”
“It’s rather advantageous to capture the swordsman of the six swords called the Seven Swords of the Kingdom.”
“There are as many comrades-in-arms injured by this human as there are trees in the forest. Not a benefit Whatever it is, I’m glad I was able to catch it.”
The elven knights looked down at me as I collapsed exhausted and began to speak.
Soon after, the handcuffs were put on.
It seemed to be a special handcuff with the ability to suppress the mana flowing through the body. Even if it wasn’t, I felt that my body, which was on the verge of exhaustion, became more lethargic.
“Kuh! Kill!”
Before losing consciousness,
I shouted, pouring out my feeble remaining strength.
The elves didn’t respond to that cry. It was as if he was waiting for instructions from his superiors.
Humans are defeated.
The war started due to the reckless greed of humans, but in the end it was the elves who won the war. In the war, over thousands of human prisoners were turned into slaves by the elves. Of course, I was included among those prisoners.
