Chapter 191 – Dark Elves #2
We strengthened our vigilance, conducted combat training and maintenance of munitions, while also stocking up on food.
It was fortunate that this farmland had not been properly made yet. If there was such a thing, it would have been dangerous if it had been attacked.
It’s a shame because they’re preparing to cultivate, wouldn’t they have been ridiculously beaten if they showed up a little later.
Anyway, it’s a blessing in disguise.
Smash the Dark Elves and absorb their forces? If so, you can use it to strengthen farmland as well as other things.
Apparently, the Dark Elves were a race similar to humans. If so, the usable range is greater. It could open the Iron Age in earnest.
I’ve been waiting for the scouting party for four days and getting ready.
ㅡSara Larak.
The scouts have returned!
“Oh! Julia! Serinyu! You’re here!”
Shout of joy!
“Wounded!”
“No!”
“There is not.”
“Good luck!”
I was very worried that there would be casualties, but the pixies and lamias who returned looked a little tired and dirty, but they didn’t seem to be hurt.
“Wow! You did a great job, Julia-sama! And Serinew did a good job too! Everyone worked hard for four days! Let’s go in and wash up and rest!”
I opened the road right away and let the patrol inside. The soldiers will be allowed to rest immediately, but each platoon commander will have to report after washing up.
“Oh, I was so tired!”
“There are a lot of Dark Elves!”
“Kahaa. Village. There was.”
As Pixies and Lamia entered the dungeon, they threw a word at me.
“I’ll listen to everything. First, let’s wash up and rest. Everyone had a hard time.”
Anyway, you just have to listen to Julia and Serinyu. She nodded, complimented the soldiers, and finally addressed her officers.
“Julia-sama. And Serinyu, after you wash up, organize something simple and then come to my office.”
“Ah! What! I want to rest too!”
“I’ll let you rest when it’s over. Wash up first.”
“It can’t be helped!”
Serenyu expressed her displeasure, but Julia bowed her head in her meekness.
“Then I’ll wash up and report back.”
“Yes. Julia-sama.”
As soon as the words were over, the two officers headed straight to the basement. This is the sorrow of the executive. All the soldiers are resting, but we have to take care of the rest. I’m sorry, let’s make some compensation next time.
“Everyone! Get ready to gather! The scouts are back! Let’s talk together!”
I spread the word and then arranged the place. First of all, looking at the attitude of the two, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. If it was a fucked up situation, I would have sang from the beginning that Serinyu was in trouble.
* *
“Then start by looking at Serinyu.”
“Yes!”
Serenyu, who nodded her head right away, said proudly.
“First of all, there are no injuries. It’s all because our pixies thoroughly scouted. Dangers by flying covertly? Is that what you’re saying? I identified the dangers and quickly maneuvered using the speed of the lamias? .
It’s really cute how you talk back and forth.
“That’s what I mean by keeping the prayer secret.”
“Yes! Gidovinik! Well maintained!”
“Good job!”
I can see why there were no casualties. Pixies are timid. So it must have been a thorough reconnaissance as I told you.
“And, I also found the Dark Elves’ village. But looking at it secretly, it’s not finished yet. They’re making a village at all?”
“You’re making it?”
I saw Julia right away.
“Yes. It’s true. The Dark Elves were building a village. They must have come here from other regions. They seemed to be thinking of building a new village here.”
“Hmm.”
I mean, something keeps coming down from above.
“What happened upstairs?”
“Other than that.”
“Julia-sama. Is there any more detailed explanation?”
Julia, nodding her head, enforced her more detailed report. She simply said that it was possible that the Dark Elves had built new villages in various places to expand their power.
“Expansion of power. Are they the same as me? Lady Julia. Was it like that originally?”
“Of course, it was originally like that. Dark elves or lamia. They fought to occupy a greater power. But to come down here…”
I heard from Julia the other day, that this land overlaps with the human territory, so people don’t come here very often.
“Nevertheless, it keeps coming down like this… Is that the case?”
There is a lot to think about. It could be that the ambitious Dark Elves are trying to unreasonably increase their forces in order to completely defeat the Lamia.
“Please tell me more.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll tell you too!”
That way she heard the report.
Using the stealth of the pixies to examine the town under construction, it seems that the atmosphere was not so combative. Feels like you’ve moved from another big city.
“Usually, Dark Elf villages are run around two large buildings.”
“What building is it?”
“It’s a building where men and women live. We use the building separately by gender.”
“Is that so?”
So you’re saying that there are separate male and female dormitories.
“Yes. And the leader of the village is usually a woman. It should be called a matrilineal society. As far as we know, the oldest unmarried female Dark Elf in the village becomes the leader.”
“Hmm.”
That’s a little peculiar.
To think that the eldest old maiden Dark Elf would take on the role of leader.
“Why aren’t you a man?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, you got the question wrong.”
Since Lamia are a race of only women, they would think that a matrilineal society is natural.
“Are only women to be leaders? What about men?”
“Well, I don’t know. I’ve never heard of that…”
So, it is natural for an old maid to do it.
I think this is a race where women have more power.
No way?
“Ah, by the way, the body type? Are female Dark Elves bigger than males?”
“No. It’s not like that. Unless you’re young, I know that male and female body types are similar.”
“It was too.”
Male Dark Elf warriors captured. All of them were quite slender in shape. To the point where I thought it was a woman’s body. Is it because there are not so many physical differences between men and women?
“Well, I guess you know the culture roughly.”
Then the scale is next.
“How’s the scale?”
“I tried hard to figure it out, but I think there are about 50 of them!”
“Wow. Two platoons.”
50 people came down from another big city to expand. That’s a huge number. Just looking at the numbers is definitely scary.
“Julia-sama. And Serinyu. As a result of the reconnaissance, if we attack, what’s the chance of winning?”
At those words, Julia laughed like a snake.
“The enemy doesn’t seem to have any idea that they’re going to be attacked right now. If that’s the case, then it’s probably the right time to build a village.”
“That’s right! If we go and attack first, we won’t be able to deal with it! We were busy building a village!”
Serinyu also shouted with confidence.
“When I’m trying to rest after work in the middle of the evening! If I attack right then, it’ll be hard and I won’t even be able to counterattack!”
“Wow. Serinyu. Do you have a good head?”
“This is basic!”
Because he’s also a war fanatic.
Anyway.
I’m sure the two women who sent out the scout would say this.
“Okay! Let’s attack first! It’ll be difficult if the Dark Elves attack like last time! Now that they don’t know about us! We’re going to attack first and strike! Got it! Commanders of the Demon King’s Army!”
Let’s declare it vigorously.
“Kereuuugh!”
“Kreukreuk!”
“Waaaaa!”
The executives in the conference room let out a cheer. The guards simply nodded their heads.
“Then let’s start preparing for war!”
It will be a full-scale war.
* *
After the meeting.
Reika called for Culse.
“Hey. Wait. Look at me.”
“Yes? No. Reika-sama. Did you ask me for a tryst? Let’s see. Today’s schedule is…”
“Because that’s not it. Come back for a second.”
“All right.”
Seeing Culse following him with a smirk as usual makes me uncomfortable. He’s usually like this… But when it’s important, he’s like a real demon.
Whether she likes it or not, Reika didn’t know.
ㅡ Jerking and bucking.
That’s how I dragged Culse and came out of the dungeon. I hear voices from the back saying that it would be nice to play outside, but I ignored it.
After some distance from the entrance, Reika looked back at Culse and said.
“I’m going to hit the Dark Elves.”
“Yes. I plan to deal with it by surprise. And I plan to take all the female Dark Elves there as prisonershehe.”
“Tsk.”
Are you talking like that in front of me? Reika thought so. It made me feel uncomfortable every time they talked about increasing the number of female prisoners.
She hates to admit that this is a manifestation of her mind that thinks she wants more of her, but otherwise she can’t explain. But she can’t help it. The guy gets stronger with it.
Anyway.
Erasing the useless thoughts, Reika spoke again.
“I’m just saying this because I’m a former nun.”
“Speak.”
“Can’t we solve it through dialogue? To annihilate an innocent Dark Elf village and take prisoners. Don’t you think it’s evil?”
“Reika-sama… I know what you’re saying.”
You’re probably thinking of me as an easy-going pacifist.
“Of course, just because a few Dark Elf warriors came out to scout doesn’t mean that all the villagers are guilty. It’s true that I’m a bad invader.”
“Then.”
“But that doesn’t matter. Anyway, this Nabari with the Dark Elves. No. We can’t share the habitat. We will definitely fight someday. So it’s best to ambush now.”
“…”
“Apart from good and evil, don’t you always tell me that the members of the dungeon are the most important?”
It always sounds like this
It is said that the important thing is not other people, but their own family.
But I still cannot refute this statement.
“I understand. Reika-sama is a former nun. It’s natural for a good human being to think that way. But Reika-sama, if we don’t move now, everyone will be in danger. So could you lend me your strength?”
Devil’s Whispers.
It would have been better if they had met on a different occasion in a different place, Reika thought.
“No, what. They say you won’t lend me your strength? I just said it because I’m a nun. When it’s time to fight, talk to me.”
“As expected, this is Reika-sama. Oh, but my throat is a bit dry.”
“What?”
At that moment, Culls rushed in quickly and pulled the bra he was wearing.
“Hey, hey! Wait! Wait!”
