Chapter 64 – Chapter 64 the King of Slaves
Ji-ha, who received the message, went straight back to the barracks.
You’ll also need to meet with the informant.
Jiha received a situation report from Uben at the restaurant.
There were only two.
“I didn’t tell the kids first because information might leak out.”
“How big is the enemy?”
The gang I saw in the meeting room was 30 people, but there could have been more.
“The size is around thirty people. It is said that the rare level is 9 people.”
“It’s nothing.”
“But it is too much for us alone. It can grow even more with time.”
With 9 rares and 28 commons, it was impossible to guarantee victory just because the numbers were ahead.
“Not everyone will come into the barracks. If I’m out, I’ll split up my troops and send them out.”
Because Galak must kill the basement unconditionally.
“Yes, but there will be casualties on our side in a collision.”
“I’m giving up buying magic weapons now. The warning must have frightened you.”
It wasn’t underground that was harassing Galak for nothing.
When colliding, if the Elves are holding magic weapons, the Commons take more damage.
“Still, I think the rare rating will be a bit overwhelming.”
“You can dig a trap.”
The basement was explained in detail.
“The purpose of entering the barracks is to kill the debang of the detention center. If the elves attack, don’t stick to them head-on and surround them.”
“Then you’ll need a ranged weapon.”
“Prepare as secretly as possible.”
Jiha accurately pointed out the elves’ intentions to act impulsively.
“They don’t want to stay in the barracks too long, so they’ll hurry. After killing Debang, he wants to return safely and be honored as a hero of his faction. If you avenge the enemy of your own people, it will be recognized as a substitute for Pamine.”
The reckless act of young blood, the heroic psychology, was obvious.
“If the guys come in first and install it, the justification is on us. You can kill them all if you want.”
“All right. So, why don’t you tell Unique?”
“…”
The basement was lost in thought for a moment.
Should Enlil or Yura be informed in advance and let them respond?
“No, if Unique is in the barracks, even idiots won’t come in. Do it as an afterthought. Have three nimble commons on standby in advance, and send them to Enlil immediately when the elves attack.”
“Why three?”
“I bet the elves aren’t too stupid either. There’s also the possibility of surveillance to make sure no one gets out of the barracks. If all three of them move in different directions at the same time, they won’t be able to cope.”
“All right.”
“Did the words that have been exchanged so far come from a guy called an informant?”
Uben nodded.
“I have cross-validated it and it is reliable. I don’t know what he is, but he wants to see the captain himself.”
“Okay, let’s meet then…”
He stood up from his seat and paused.
“Is Enlil still in the barracks?”
“Yes, there will still be.”
“…”
I was a bit past work hours.
The basement thought for a moment and said.
“Uben, you go and tell Enlil to leave work. And for the time being, I told you to go about your normal life.”
“… I mean?”
“You have to do it yourself. Explain moderately and sell my name. If you don’t know, don’t be fooled.”
“…”
Uben was perplexed.
I don’t know what’s between Underground and Enlil, but Enlil is unique.
There was a difference in status that Uben, originally a common, would not dare to talk about.
But the words of the underground, everyone must know.
Even if you have to tell it through Uben, it’s going to be a target.
“All right. Then I will leave the guidance to Okram.”
Uven lowered his head and backed off.
Jiha calmly organized her thoughts.
‘Enlil probably wants to see me in person. You’re probably wondering how I went and got things done, and… There must be some sorting out of personal feelings.’
Didn’t Enlil get on top of him earlier?
Now Enlil’s insides must be very messy.
And you’ll want to meet the basement and sort it out.
Usually a woman wants to be confirmed by a man and wants to be sure.
‘But for now Enlil is better left obscure. Even if you let me worry and agonize about me, Enlil is calm and won’t go astray. Also, Uben knows my intentions and will explain them well.’
The situation in which Enlil is shaken without being able to read the course of his own mind.
The basement planned to make good use of this as well.
For a more certain victory.
Following Okram’s guidance, we headed to the underground library.
The library was the most deserted place in the barracks, the best place to have a private conversation.
Vissel, the librarian, was also absent, as if she had been forewarned.
“I am waiting outside. Call me if you have any problems.”
“Okay…”
Jiha only nodded at Okram’s stiff yet loyal attitude.
It was Okram’s self-restraint that made him not act like he used to, even when they were alone.
How to gain one and lose one.
Jiha became the leader of the commons, but she could not have common friends.
When I entered the basement, I saw a person sitting there.
She appeared to be a slim woman, but her hood was pulled down so her face could not be seen.
“You brought the information?”
As the underground approached, the woman took off her hood.
Seeing her beautiful appearance and pointy ears, her basement commented plaintively.
“As expected, you’re an elf.”
“… How did know?”
“There’s a high probability that a guy you know this inside out is an insider.”
The basement looked at the opponent crookedly.
“So what you want me to do is kill the car? Instead, you want me to kill all the Garak gang?”
“You’re not afraid to say nasty things, man.”
“Then tell me, bitch.”
“…”
When the female elf was stunned, Jiha laughed.
“Did you return the same because it was the nuance of treating me like an animal?”
“I heard the story, but really… You are a bad-mouthed person.”
“I get a lot of compliments like that. What is your name?”
As the elf hesitated, the underground shook his head.
“There is no point in hiding your face as long as you show it.”
“… This is Zadrun of the Hashar family.
Underground gazed at his opponent, Zadrun Hashar, in silence, slowly hitting the table with his fingertips.
Tuck, Tuck.
Jadrun said nothing when the underground said. He spoke quickly.
“The young elves are sympathizing with Damod Garak. Lady Leticia, who needs to be stopped, is standing by. The situation is spreading out of control.”
“I can’t believe it.”
Although it was already confirmed through cross-validation, Jiha deliberately pretended not to know.
Zadrun, who believed that he was suspected, was furious.
“This is not a story from yesterday or today. It’s been an argument that’s been coming up lately since the Elves were killed by the Commons on this side, but it suddenly gained momentum today.”
It meant that the elves who were confronted by the underground in the meeting room were all indignant and turned to the main radio.
“I was planning to buy a lot of magic weapons and move them, but I decided to stop. But still, the plan is to go ahead with the raid. I managed to catch the attack today, but it won’t last long.”
“Oh, thank you so much for stopping these guys from killing us. Why didn’t you just kill them all while being patronizing?”
“… The purpose of the elves is three: you, the kobold dubang hiding in this barracks, and the half-elf who attended the meeting today.”
As Zadrun finished his sentence, Jiha asked quietly.
“Why are you betraying your people?”
“It is not a betrayal. I am doing this for the future of my people. A plan that is too reckless, even if it succeeds, the fortunes of both camps will increase, and the elves will have to take responsibility.”
“So I’ll give you the information in advance, so you can deal with it on your own?”
“Report to the unique rank Dark Elf. Then the higher up will take care of it and make a compromise.”
You can’t do that.
Jadrun grew impatient as Jihaha just stared at him crookedly.
“Come on, move. Because one o’clock is in a hurry.”
“Are there any elves who agree with you?”
“… Most of them are men, so my words don’t work.”
“Wasn’t Wordsland a society of women and men?”
Zadrun shook his head.
“That’s a relatively recent social trend, and the long-lived, closed society elves hold on to their traditions. In fact, even Leticia, who is a unique class, can’t suppress Damod, who is only a rare class. Even if Damodod lacks brute force, he is a man and a member of a family that is qualified to attend the Council. If you limit it to the inside of elven society, Leticia-sama’s right to speak is rather weak.”
It is said that Wordsland is a woman, but that is a change in hundreds of years.
It meant that the closed society of elves living for a thousand years could not be changed.
Underground laughed.
“Come on, move quickly. Human.”
“Wait for a sec.”
A provider of top-secret information is right in front of you.
You should use it very well.
“What if I tell this to Enlil?”
“Before an armed conflict, both sides reached a dramatic compromise…”
“If it were Enlil, he would pretend not to know, and if the barracks were attacked, he would come running and slaughter them all.”
Zadrun’s face hardened.
Elves and Dark Elves had a hostile relationship, and when they invaded the barracks, they had nothing to say even if they died.
“You’re afraid of the elves attacking, so you negotiate with the elves? Is that too arrogant way of thinking? Even if you guys flocked to me, Enlil alone would be able to manage it, so why do I have to compromise with the elves I hate?”
“…”
Zadrun seemed to be trying to find the words to refute, but he couldn’t get the words out.
She reluctantly nodded her head.
“I was in a hurry, so I thought briefly. I get it. Then I’ll do something on my side…”
“Wait.”
You can’t let this elf move.
Because the underground plan to induce them to come and wipe them out is ruined.
“What do you plan to do?”
“I’ll try to persuade Damod again, and if that doesn’t work, leticia-sama, if that doesn’t work, I’ll ask dudinel-sama to intervene.”
“There’s no use doing that.”
The basement was gently coaxed.
“Already the elves are excited and don’t listen to what anyone says. Your opinion of finding the opposite sex and having a conversation is a minority, and the more you argue, the more you will be criticized. When the yard is about to be held, it is unlucky to be choked.”
“…”
Zadrun’s face blurred as if he had already experienced it.
You must have already done everything you could before secretly visiting the barracks of the blue seal, the target of the attack, the enemy, and telling them about the Americas.
“… Then what are you going to do?”
“In this situation, follow my instructions and move.”
“You? What do you believe in you, a human being?”
Zadrun was her nonsense.
“Because there is no one to trust but me. Don’t the elves who are your own kind listen to you at all? If you tell Enlil, he’ll consider it an opportunity to wipe out the elves. At least I am the only one who has the will to deal with the situation moderately.”
“…”
Zadrun had a long, sad face.
When war clouds rolled around, the hawks in the group would prevail, and the doves would shrink.
The doves who are bullied in the group snoop here and there to prove their worth.
In the name of diplomacy, it does not hesitate to create communication channels with the enemy.
‘Still, why are you so active?’
It’s okay to stand by, and there’s definitely a reason why you’re willing to risk the stigma of being a traitor.
Knowing that, she can make good use of this woman.
‘I’ve been calling Galak by his first name, Damod, not by his last name?’
I stabbed the basement just in case.
“Aren’t you afraid that the person you love might end up in danger?”
“How can I…”
Let’s catch it right away, and Jiha sang delight.
“You can know everything from outside. They don’t know.”
“… Damod isn’t that great of a character. When Pamine-nim didn’t step forward, she said that an opportunity had come for her, and she was greedy beyond her heart.”
Zadrun shook his head darkly.
Sometimes the person watching from the side knows the person much better.
“No matter how successful she is, it won’t last long, and if she fails, she will be severely reprimanded, and at worst, her life. I did that…”
“She has to stop by the side, so she was told not to nag women, didn’t she? If Galac succeeds, she will most likely become Leticia’s new fiancée.”
“…”
Zadrun’s face darkened.
“If you trust me and cooperate, I will guarantee Galak’s safety.”
“… Really?”
“The harder you work, the higher the odds will be.”
“… Okay. I’m not reluctant to join hands with humans, but I can’t help it.”
When Zadrun accepted, she laughed inwardly.
“For now, go back to your gang and secretly inform them of the movement this way.”
“You wouldn’t be able to stop the attack that much, would you? Even if I oppose it, it is now the limit, I will move within this week.”
“Don’t stop, let it happen.”
Zadrun was dumbfounded, but Jiha said seriously.
“If you stop doing this, it will only cause more resistance. If you fail once, you will listen carefully to what you say. And I will see you again.”
“Is it…”
Zadrun nodded his head in dubious doubt.
“Then go back and tell me if there is any movement. And if I tell you about the trend here, pass it on to Damod.”
“… I will.”
Zadrun put on his hood again and stood up.
Jiha, who was left alone in the library, smiled contentedly.
Zadrun moved with the mindset that he wished Galak to be safe and that he would not be in danger.
But did he not want to see Galak being talked about as Leticia’s new fiancée?
And did Galak not know the heart of the woman next to him? Or did you know and ignore it?
Either way, it didn’t matter to the underground.
“Love blinds the eyes.”
Galak didn’t take good care of his surroundings, and that’s why he will fall.
In fact, it was easy for him to prevent the elves from attacking.
All you have to do is to keep the unique grade Enlil and Yura in the barracks.
No matter how much the young elves turn their eyes away, they won’t act rashly if they have a unique rank.
However, Jiha deliberately did not mention this method.
Information on the enemy side can be obtained, and reverse information can be passed on.
Why refuse a fight you can win unconditionally?
Now all that remains is how cleanly you win.
