Chapter 25: Adventures in the Forest
The elves were some distance from Leah's camp, so guards were necessary.
So little Lori began to spin around, trying to catch two strong men.
[Ah, target discovery.] γ
Soon, she finds two people who seem to be idle, Alec and Ida. Needless to say, Alec was already familiar with the knight who had helped her a lot.
As for Ida, little Lori remembered that he was originally a member of the Royal Knights, and later transferred to Snow Lotus City to join Kalian's team, and at first he and Alec almost duel over Kalian's affairs. However, after Fenrir's siege, Date finally recognized Karen and remained with the Golden Lily Knights.
Through the conflict about Kalian, Date and Alec became close friends instead, and even Lori had to admit that the two could often be seen together.
At this time, they were ping pong, but this was not a duel, just a daily practice.
"Okay, the practice is over, my dear knights. β
With a wave of her wand, Leah erected a dimensional barrier between the two, and the thin spatial element separated the two like an azure wall.
"Hello, Miss Leah. β
"What are your orders?"
The knights turned around and saluted when they saw that it was little Lori.
"Well, I'm going to visit the Sage in the forest, so I'm going to ask you to come and protect me. β
"May you be at your service. β
Alec nodded.
"But the two of us don't seem to be a good fit, so I'll call some more brothers. β
Date thought for a moment, turned around and slipped into the camp tent, and when he came out again, he was already followed by a small group of knights.
"So. Let's go. β
Seeing this, Leah nodded.
As soon as she reached the junction between the camp and the forest, she unexpectedly ran into someone familiar.
"Long time no see (Elfish), dear Leah!"
Jumping up and down was Little Lori's Elven tutor Elena during Ed Nihua.
"Is Miss Leah going to the Elven Forest?"
and Alice, the half-dragon girl before her.
"Long time no see, Elena.
Hello Miss Alice. Because of something, I want to meet Lord Hanufain. β
Leah hugged Elena, then looked up and said.
"Well, I'll lead the way.
I forgot to tell you that I'll be in charge of the liaison between Randall's guys and the Elven Forest during this time, so if anything. Just come to me, please. If no one leads you, you will be stopped by the guards even if you enter the forest. β
Alice turned around and led Leah and the others towards the forest.
γEn...... It's understandable that the elves sent a liaison officer, but ...... Why Alice?]
Looking at the girl walking in front, Leah stretched out her finger to her chin and thought.
The other party is the high priest of the Temple of the Winds, the head of the Wind Knights, and now that the elves are at war. Why would the other party just be in charge of a simple liaison work?
[Even if it's racial discrimination, it's too much.] γ
In the end, little Lori couldn't come up with a reason.
"Ah, Leah is thinking about Alice, right?"
Elena beside her asked.
"Hey, hey, you're being seen?"
"Because you've been staring at people. β
"Actually......"
Leah stuck out her little tongue in embarrassment, and then told Elena about her doubts.
"Ah...... That's it...... Elves may not be that friendly to half-bloods, but they certainly don't go too far.
The reason why Alice is here......"
With Elena's words. Leah gradually understood what had happened.
A large part of the Druid's rebellion was caused by the fact that Alice's mother, the former High Priest of the Temple of the Winds, passed on her position to her daughter despite the opposition of the elves.
So when the druids rebelled, the Temple of the Wind naturally became the focus of the attack, and the priests and the Wind Knights suffered heavy losses, even ...... Even Alice's mother, the dragon knight Enoya, and her father, the black dragon Garrela, were not spared, and they were besieged by the rebels. failed to escape with the Elf King and the others, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
In order to confirm the news of her parents, Alice tried to fight back. Perhaps out of anxiety, she even led the rest of the Wind Knights in organizing a very ill-advised in-depth expedition, which resulted in heavy losses.
To calm Alice down. The Elven King temporarily refused her to continue to join the battle against the rebellious Elves. β
Elena shook her head and said helplessly.
[So I explained the idle duties of a liaison officer.] γ
Leah, who understood the ins and outs of the matter, glanced at Alice sympathetically, and it was understandable to want to confirm whether her parents were okay, but it was also wrong to act irrationally because of this.
[Well...... Now that Hanufain has arrived, it must not be long before the rebellion of the elves can be put down. γ
Eventually, she thought so.
The road to the Elven Forest was uneventful, and if you think about it, the enemy wouldn't be stupid enough to invade the intersection of Randall and the Elves, after all, it's not fun to fight on both sides.
But when little Lori saw Hanufain, she got bad news.
"I'm sorry, Leah. But I can't draw any additional troops on my side at the moment. β
The other party shook his head apologetically.
"Uh...... The other party is so strong that even you need extra support?"
Leah was dumbfounded, she didn't expect that even the Great Sage was in a bitter battle.
"No, the rebellious druids do have a bit of a headache because they're sheltered by Chaos, but I don't care about what I'm going to say.
The only trouble is that, considering that the evil god under the Ancient Tree of Wind may have awakened, the worst-case scenario for Lady Goddess and I must rely on force to reseal her. If the opponent is an evil god, I want to be able to deal with it in full condition. β
The Great Sage shook her head, she naturally wouldn't care about ordinary enemies, but if it was an evil god......
"In that case, there is no way to do it. β
Little Lori sighed in disappointment.
"I'm sorry Leah, it was my negligence, I didn't expect Simoye to send so many troops. β
The Great Sage said apologetically.
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you work hard, you'll always think of a way, ahaha......"
Leah smiled reluctantly and said goodbye to the Great Sage.
On the way back, a certain Lori began to frown, and without the assistance of the mage team, how should Randall face Simoye's massive forces?
"Stop!
"The ghost will stop! People just caught a rabbit, do they need to chase after it?"
At this moment, the sound of a chase came from the forest path.
"Alert!"
The knights surrounded Lori and looked in the direction from which the voice came.
After a while, a dark green figure rushed out of the woods and appeared in front of everyone.
"Oh no, someone. β
The visitor flicked his tail in surprise, and his head and furry ears moved uneasily, obviously not expecting to be blocked by a group of knights here.
"Dai...... Miss Dietrich?"
On the other hand, Leah was also surprised, because she never expected to meet the mercenary royal sister who had hunted the dark space wurm together.
