Chapter 76 – Authenticity (6)

“An enemy, an enemy!”

A surprise attack in the dark of night. Besides, the fairy ants didn’t make much noise.

The frightened sentries tried to resist, but failed. The arrows fired by the riders with the will to kill pierced the air and flew through the air, shining blue rays of light pouring down like rain in the dark forest.

“They’s sorcerer has fired magic into the sky. It must be intended to inform us of our impending arrival.”

“Move faster!”

But the elves did not stop. Passing by the corpses of the sentries whose bodies and armor were pierced by arrows containing mana, they charged into the village where the punitive force had made their headquarters.

Thanks to the many fires they lit to light up the darkness, I could clearly see where to attack even in the dark.

“I think I noticed. There are a lot of enemies on the move right now.”

“As expected, you noticed. But it’s late.”

Ren, who was controlling the drone in front of Serenian with her nervous face, observed the actions of the punitive forces preparing her response in her village and informed her.

Hearing that, Serenian closed his mouth. After all, the only option left after coming here is battle, no, war.

The size of the enemies who led the majority of the troops in the branch to ensure certainty was several times that of the allies, but Serenian and the other elves also judged that there was a chance.

Because they are completely different beings from the past.

“Stop, raise your bow!”

When the busily moving people are preparing a defensive posture in the village.

The elves who stopped the charge immediately raised their bows. The fighting power of the fairy ants was not weak, but there was no reason to engage the enemies in close combat.

“Shoot!”

Instead, they attempted a one-sided attack using their special skills. Arrows that fly farther and are faster than normal arrows fired using mana.

I urgently came to mind the shields the wizards had spread, but it was Jung-gu heating. Thanks to this, the arrows that were not blocked properly fell in a parabolic line, and in Serenian’s eyes, he could see many enemies rolling on the floor after being hit by the arrows.

“I don’t see any reason to cross swords.”

“Yes. Dark and rough forest road. We have weapons they don’t have.”

As the wizards’ magic bombardment was about to begin, the elves moved the fairy ants again and moved. It wasn’t just moving forward.

They moved to the side all at once and started spinning around the village where the subjugation party was stationed.

Then arrows were fired from all directions, and the subjugation party, which had been surprised by the absurdity, was unable to come out properly, being crushed by the arrows flying from the dark forest.

“Where is their leader, Ren? You don’t have to be precise. Tell me who guesses.”

Serenian, who himself drove the fairy ants across the forests and fields around the village and looked at the village where the commotion was coming from, took out his own ‘special bow’ and asked Ren.

“Hwa, I’m not sure, but I think it’s in the middle of town? By the well in the center of town.”

Ren used a drone to tell him where the key people were in the village.

Because I saw a person who seemed to be in command of the bewildered troops while gesturing in the shaking controller.

“That is enough.”

Serenian’s eyes glowed in the dark after he identified the target. Listening to Ren’s words, the intensified view clearly saw a small figure standing by the well as a dot.

At the same time, there was a crackling spark and something popped out of her body.

‘The spirit of lightning.’

Ren swallowed her dry saliva as he saw the mass of sparks floating in the air over her. A new spirit that cannot be found without precedent.

The thing that came down from the sky was a companion with Serenian.

‘This is revenge.’

Even in the midst of shaking, Serenian, who aimed straight at the target, took out an arrow and attached it to his bow. Just as the bow is special, so are the arrows. A heavy and strong arrow made of solid metal.

If this is shot through a powerful bow that ordinary people cannot pull at all, its power is beyond imagination.

“Damn it! Avoid yourself for now. But don’t stop responding!”

An unexpected raid. And it’s an attack in a way you can’t even imagine.

The vice-captain hurriedly jumped out and drew his sword with courage, but he was frightened by the sight of a soldier rolling on the floor after an arrow pierced his head.

The enemies fired arrows as they circled around the village at breakneck speed.

The softly shining arrows are all weapons containing mana. Even the knights who could block ordinary arrows with their armor couldn’t stand the arrows that shattered their steel armor and penetrated their bodies.

‘The elves are obvious. The bastards we need to subdue have flocked to take revenge!’

Since he was already familiar with the elves’ advanced archery skills, he naturally knew at once what kind of people were attacking them.

Of course, that was all. Right now, in his mind, there was no way to destroy the elves moving like cavalry archers in the forest.

“I can’t get out, vice-captain! There are bastards everywhere. There must be hundreds at least!”

“Kuh, but if you stop responding, they will charge straight ahead.”

Unable to predict the mobility of the elves, they judged that the number of elves was more or equal to them.

So I had no choice but to predict that if they gave up even trying to counterattack now, they would charge in unison and wipe them out.

So what we’re doing is shooting indiscriminately using wizards. However, it is impossible for only a dozen or so wizards to block all parts.

“Do not respond to the wizards, instead set fire to the forest by pouring all your fire magic. There is no need to burn everything. Just enough that they freak out and we have time and sight. It seems like the only way.”

“…Yes!?”

So the chosen method is to openly set fire to the forest. In the process of firing the flame bullets, the magicians broke through the moisture and spread small embers, but that was enough for the elves to extinguish it quickly.

However, if the fire was set with determination, even using magic, it could have made the fire spread enough.

“But if you do that, there will be a storm after that!”

“The captain will surely allow it. I have to live for now!”

In place of Rousseau, who went to take charge of the northern part of the village where Shura was, the vice-captain who took command here shouted at his bewildered subordinates.

‘That can’t be.’

It was then that he saw a flash of light in the forest.

From noble mtl dot com

A completely different type of light from the softly shining mana. The light was moving through the forest and circling the village at a tremendous speed, and as soon as he saw it, he instinctively grabbed the spear of his subordinate and threw it at it with all his might.

“Even now, vice-captain…”

“!!!”

And almost at the same time, the flash came all at once and flew at him who threw the spear.

A single bolt of lightning hit the head of a subordinate who took a step closer to him without knowing anything, shattering and burning his head.

‘Fire, arrow.’

Frozen, he saw it fly back past his face and through the corpse of his subordinate, whose head and part of his upper body had been blown away.

It was clearly an arrow with lightning bolts that crackled.

‘More?’

He instinctively sensed as he watched that the sparkling light he had aimed for and threw the spear had stopped moving and was fixed.

Two lightning bolts fired from that point flew straight at his body this time.

Dazed in shock in the midst of his haste, he lifted his sword and swung it with the animalistic senses of a veteran knight who went through the war. As if he didn’t get the position of vice-captain for free, he clearly had enough strength and experience.

However, his senses and skills were all that he managed to knock out of the two arrows that flew in, and even that pierced his mana and completely broke his sword and arm.

“Kuhak…”

The other shot pierced his stomach. At the moment of the hit, the arrow that sprayed the powerful thunderbolt he was holding in all directions pierced his body at once, and his body, which could not stand it, exploded at once and collapsed.

“Ugh, ugh!”

It is only natural that the hearts of the subjugation party would be shaken as they watched the spectacle. As soon as their movements, which had been barely holding on to the barrage of arrows flying from invisible places, eventually fell into chaos, the drone watching them from the sky identified that point as a weakness.

“They are coming. Monsters, elves riding monsters!”

The elves rushed into the area where the defense had collapsed.

The gigantic ants running madly through the darkness and the sight of them attacking with bows and spears on top of them was enough to make even those who had experienced a war against the Demon Legion hesitate.
