Chapter 723 – Chapter 723 Conquest of Ninheim-3
Jiha gave an order to Haran in advance.
The date to arrive near Nainheim if the military led it, and the time to meet the Ranger if Haran was ahead came out appropriately.
From then on, the intermittent thought of the underground had worked.
However, from the perspective of the rangers, it only seems that humans suddenly appeared.
“This is a human!”
“Humans have invaded the forest!!”
The rangers aim at the underground with their weapons.
Either that or not, Ji-ha hugged Haran from behind and sniffed her.
He buried his face in his hair and whispered softly.
“Your smell always makes me feel good.”
“… Thank you.”
Haran was quite surprised when the basement suddenly appeared, but responded calmly.
It was because he had already seen the underground teleport back and forth like this before, and there were enemies in front of him.
What would happen if they knew that the underground was the head of the Red Union?
So Haran hid his agitation without calling his name.
“…”
Leticia, too, tried to call the underground with her startled face, but she barely kept her mouth shut.
There was a wink from Haran, and she also realized that if she let her know that the other person was underground, things would get bigger.
“…”
Knowing all of this, Crea couldn’t help but panic.
Haran and Leticia are great people who would kill hundreds of their own people to protect the underground.
Then, she had to make up for this position somehow.
“… I, that human, are my prisoners too!”
“How are you?”
The basement was stunned, but Crea raised her voice.
All of the rangers in front of him, including those who would be elsewhere, could have all died today.
Crea was the only one who tried to resolve this situation peacefully.
Shouldn’t we avoid getting Nainheim stained with blood?
“That human and Wolf are going to face the council with Jormun. I will take responsibility!”
“… Take a human to the village?”
“How can you talk such nonsense?”
“There was no precedent for a non-elf race to enter Nainheim! What great sin are you trying to commit?”
When the rangers scolded her sternly, Crea went mad and jumped up and down.
Killing these five people is not even a job for Crea, so what on earth do you believe in doing this?
‘… Oh, it’s because I’m an elf, right?’
As a family society, elves rarely behaved recklessly according to their personal emotions.
In particular, heinous acts such as fratricidal killings became a really big problem.
It’s not just one’s own problem, it’s treated as a family problem within the elven community.
“Yes, but what should I do?”
“Did you mean something?”
Haran asked quietly.
Even though Jiji hugs her from behind and kisses her cheeks, she doesn’t take her eyes off the rangers in front of her.
“No, they say we have to be taken prisoner. It seems he doesn’t like walking freely. So why don’t we tie our hands with a rope?”
“…”
Crea looked suspiciously at what other scheming this man was up to.
The basement was just laughing.
“So what?”
“… I am responsible.”
Crea desperately persuaded the rangers.
With all your heart and soul. Even counter-threatening.
In the end, Underground, Leticia, and Harran followed Crea and the Rangers.
It wasn’t tied with a rope.
It’s hard to arrest even if it’s a rarity grade or higher anyway.
“Left and right, behind you. The distance is 200 meters, circular.”
Haran quietly told the basement.
It is a story that other than the rangers who went ahead joined in and formed a circular siege.
Leticia asked anxiously.
“However… Why did you come? Is it because I’m not trustworthy?”
Half of her face is happy to see the basement again, and half of her face is sullen because she wonders if she doesn’t trust her.
It was a woman who acted like a fierce wildcat whenever anyone made eye contact with her, but acted like a gentle cat who noticed her owner.
She wouldn’t easily believe that Leticia was doing this if she had experienced her temper.
“I want to see our Leticia face.”
“… Do not joke.”
Despite her words, Leticia was delighted with blushing cheeks.
It doesn’t matter if it’s empty. It’s because her underground is thinking of her at least a little bit.
She said Jiha as Leticia naturally tried to stick by her side.
“Oh, don’t hold my hand. They are jealous.”
“Do it, what…”
Leticia hesitated even as she said that. She hesitates, confused as to whether it is okay to disobey the underground or stick with it.
I can guess that the basement didn’t join this side for nothing, and that it wasn’t digging into enemy lines.
Of course, Haran and Leticia would throw their bodies to protect it, but there was a limit.
We can’t deal with tens of thousands of elves, can we?
‘Well, if I really need to, I can teleport again…’
Even after teleporting, he had about 65% of his mana left.
Teleport is a special ability that consumes a lot of mana, so I was exhausted right after I had to do it in the past, but it’s not a big problem anymore.
The basement continues to grow stronger.
I’m playing with Unique, and now I’m confident that I can easily catch Legends.
‘The problem is epic, but…’
Jiha was deep in thought, but Haran said calmly.
“It’s better to pretend to be my lover. Probably won’t even ask for your name.”
“Wait. Haran.”
“Lady Leticia, this is not a story about emotions.”
Harran said businesslike.
“When they find out who this person is, everything will change. An entire army of elves might come at you.”
“…”
If you add up the number of soldiers in Nainheim, it goes over five digits.
If all of them were the enemy, Leticia might not know if it was hit and run, but she wasn’t confident in a head-to-head match.
“And since I’ve already been exiled for marital problems, I wouldn’t be surprised if I remarried. It’s best to keep it hidden for now.”
“But…”
“If Leticia-sama explains that she is actually married, things become very complicated.”
Haran’s words were right.
Leticia reluctantly nodded her head.
“Would you be okay with this?”
“Do it yourself. I’ll play around and then intervene.”
Jiha took care of it, and Haran nodded her head.
She told her that this place was not on the way home, but on the way to the enemy camp, and it was also a place with a precious lover.
There shouldn’t be any mistakes.
Guided by the elven rangers, Underground, Leticia, and Crea arrived at the village.
Houses were built between trees, and children were playing on the branches.
On the other hand, the laundry was drying, and there were adults picking berries.
Such a scene continues.
Houses beyond houses, people were attached to each other.
“It’s crowded.”
“It is a forest. Space available is limited.”
“Elves don’t damage trees. More precisely… The grass and trees in Nainheim are really hard to treat. Except for very few exceptions, you must not cut down trees.”
Haran explained in the comment of the underground, and Leticia supplemented.
“Wait here for a moment.”
After talking with the Rangers, Crea approached and said.
In the gaze of the underground, she added.
“The council members were just discussing it. We’ll tell you that we’re here, and when we get an answer, we’ll move there.”
“Shall I guess one?”
When the basement suddenly spoke, the three female elves, Haran, Leticia, and Crea, watched.
“The council is going to use a lot of space. The tables and chairs they sit on will be empty of useless space.”
“…”
“Other elves are crammed into houses in such a small space, do they use the space in a big way?”
“… It’s a tradition.”
At the words of the underground, Crea answered tremblingly.
It was correct.
Leticia put a clue.
“In the past, even Nainheim was not such a dense forest. However, without cutting down, the trees continue to grow, so space is running out. I feel more cramped than when I was there.”
“However, elves have little desire to breed, so I can see how they are maintained. If it was human, I would have overthrown it right away.”
Humans will not be able to stand it if the population grows exponentially and the place to live is narrow because of trees.
They must have cut down all the trees, or cut the heads of the upper floors that are drying.
“Breeding…”
Crea frowned at her.
Haran and Leticia, who were used to underground, didn’t care at all, but she was not comfortable with underground, who openly said things like that to Crea.
“Then it’s not breeding, is it drinking? Do you guys wake up after a drink together after work and have a baby?”
“Isn’t that such a ridiculous story?”
“It’s because you guys are easygoing that you are enduring this unequal social structure.”
Said the basement.
“In the end, even though the family dictates everything, they live well without complaining.”
“What are you talking about? Then, do you want to say that the female lead outside is correct?”
“I just talked about my impressions, so why are you replying with bullshit? Is your heart racing after you return to your hometown?”
Underground addressed Crea and added.
“And the outside, I didn’t like it, so I smashed it and came back. So what am I going to do now?”
“…”
Seriously, why did this man come all of a sudden?
Crea’s hair suddenly became soft.
There’s no way the basement didn’t know that this place was a dead end, but I came here.
Normally, you would think it was reckless, but it wasn’t from Crea’s point of view.
The basement has obviously done its calculations.
Crea was about to speak when a ranger approached.
“The council’s permission has come down. Please follow me.”
The time has finally come to face the Council.
Elven Council.
These are the ones who handle the big and small things in the elven society. Their gathering was no different from the intention of the entire elves.
So, even Leticia, who was unique, had no choice but to obey the council’s decision in the past.
Jiha, Leticia, Crea, and Haran stood in front of the round table where the council had gathered.
There were 12 people sitting in the seats, each representing a family eligible to attend the council.
A gray-haired old man sitting among the crowd opened his mouth.
“Welcome, Unique Jormun.”
“…”
Leticia made a blatantly wary face.
“Am I not welcome?”
Then the basement opened its mouth and stepped forward.
Looking at Leticia’s reaction and the faces and reactions of the others sitting at the round table, he guessed that the white-haired old man was the head of the council.
It must be the position of the chairman of the council.
The gray-haired old man, the old elf, smiled leisurely.
“It’s not a place for humans.”
It was a laugh looking down at the terribly insignificant jumping up and down.
“I should focus on my job rather than my race.”
“Job?”
The old man made a face that said he had heard a funny noise.
“What is your job?”
“A job that conquers the world.”
Haran’s face changed, but Leticia was taken aback, but she smiled leisurely at Jiha.
“I am the head of the Red Union, underground.”
It would be less unfair to die knowing who he was.
