“That…”
Lilliana was at a loss. She had not anticipated Add to all of the sudden need to accompany them to their house. She instinctively hesitated. Though Add had saved them, however this demand of his was, in gentle phrases, unacceptable.
“You human! In order that was your plan from the beginning!”
Annavel instantly drew her sword and took a stance pointing her sword at Add and coming earlier than Lilliana, to guard her. She knew that this human was very sturdy and harmful, but she needed to take her stand.
“Lily stand again! I knew this human had sick intentions! He undoubtedly needs to go to our camp and seize us all !! I guess he employed these bandits simply to achieve our belief! This filthy people are all the identical!!!”
Her tone was crammed with hatred. Lilliana additionally did not converse. She did not need to assume that Add had such intentions however Annavel’s phrases sounded convincing.
The particular person in query seemed dully on the duo. If not for the rattling mission issued by the damned system, he needed to simply depart them and depart, however the rewards and the penalty held him again. The 2 women checked out him with gr A way of stress stuffed the environment.
“Say….”
Simply as he was about to talk, a faint sound like a whistle echoed within the forest. Add seemed on the course from the place it got here with a questioning gaze whereas, the expressions of the 2 women modified abruptly. Their faces paled and terror stuffed their eyes.
“It can’t be….” (Lilliana)
“Oh no!!” (Annavel)
With out saying a single phrase to Add, the 2 of them madly dashed into the forest ignoring him.
“Is the sound maybe associated to them ? For them to turn out to be so determined immediately….”
He additionally determined to observe them, whereas sustaining a sure distance. As the women desperately ran by the forest, they did not uncover, or to say, they could not care to find the human who was following them some 50 metres behind of them.
The whistle like sound they heard was truly an emergency warning utilized by the Elves. One thing severe should have occurred for the whistle to be blown. After round quarter-hour of intense operating by the dense foliage, the 2 women reached the momentary camp which the Elven survivors had made. There have been round 30 Elves current there, and all of them had tense faces.
“What occurred !?”
Lilliana who was, after the loss of life of her dad and mom, the chief of the survivors, went operating in the direction of the opposite Elves, adopted by Annavel.
Add who stopped after confirming that the 2 women had reached their camp safely, retreated a couple of hundred metres from the camp. He stood on a tree department and seemed on the Elves along with his binoculars.
[Ding! Mission : Plight Of the Elves (1) Completed!]
[Rewards of 5000 Exp. and 2,500 CP received!]
The system faithfully rewarded him as anticipated.
[Ding! Mission : Plight of the Elves (2) Initiated!]

Rewards : 7,000 Exp. and 3,500 CP.]
(Hmm …..so people are going to assault them…. No marvel the Elves look so fearful and despaired…..effectively seems it’s people solely….that is nonetheless doable….)
Add checked out his stats, he had a complete of 9,662 CP now. He bought some magazines for his HK417A2 and AX338 bringing his steadiness to 9,000. When up in opposition to people, and when the opposite facet had a numerical benefit, Add determined to take the normal method of guerrilla warfare.
On the Elven Camp –
“Oh Lilliana you’re lastly again!”
A feminine elf shouted, and all eyes adopted, touchdown on Lilliana. Immediately the Elves started gathering round her. Everybody had one thing to say, making the state of affairs disorderly.
“Everybody please settle down! Inform us what’s fallacious, who blew the whistle and why ?” Mentioned Annavel coming beside Lilliana. Her loud voice brought about the Elves to quieten down loads.
“It was me who blew the whistle….” A younger wanting Elven male mentioned as he got here ahead.
After the few Elves had escaped the assault on their village, many of the adults had perished or have been injured, leaving the youthful ones to take up the varied chores and duties. The Elf in query was working as one of many few scouts and sentries preserving watch across the camp. In the present day as effectively he was doing his job like he had been doing the previous few weeks when he found some exercise contained in the forest. When he went nearer to see what precisely was happening, he was terrified and instantly ran again to tell the opposite Elves and blew the whistle.
“There are people! Plenty of them, over 100! They’ve shaped a camp round twenty tõr away.”
Tõr was an Elven unit of distanceroughly equal to 800 metres. As such a big group of people have been gathered lower than 16 kilometres from them was a extremely alarming information. The expressions of all Elves have been darkish. Moms hugged their youngsters tightly and few Elves who had seen the loss of life of their associates and households by the arms of people have been traumatised and have been trembling.
Lilliana too was very apprehensive. She requested for extra particulars to the Elf and estimated that the people had in reality come for them particularly. They’d escaped from the village very hurriedly and desperately, so a whole lot of traces of their escape have been left. Following them was not too tough for skilled people. She turned in the direction of Annavel who additionally had a tough expression on her face.
“Anna….what do you assume we must always do…?” (Lilliana)
“….I….I do not know Lily…..If these people assault us now, we will probably be slaughtered simply….I do not know….perhaps we must always escape once more…?” (Annavel)
Lilliana shook her head.
“Even when we attempt to escape….at this distance…..they are going to certainly meet up with us…”
“….However we can’t battle with them…we barely have anybody able to fending in opposition to people….to not point out over 100 of them…” Annavel clenched her sword. Her coronary heart was crammed with unwillingness and helplessness. She knew her power was no the place sufficient to guard her individuals and he or she felt immense anger at her personal weak spot and much more hatred in the direction of the people.
“Rattling all of it!” she stabbed her sword into the bottom and cursed.
The opposite Elves additionally had comparable emotions. They’d misplaced their properties, households and associates to the People and as soon as once more they have been on the verge of being attacked by them. This brought about despair to creep into everybody’s thoughts. Amidst the silence that had descended into the camp, regularly the sounds of footsteps appeared.
Some Elves seemed in the direction of the supply of the sound and their eyes widened.
“H….human!”
An Elf shouted, his finger tremblingly pointing in the direction of somebody. Instantly all of the Elves broke from their ideas and seemed on the course he was pointing.
A single human boy wearing all black was strolling in the direction of the elves. He was carrying some unusual armour. The human saved strolling towards the Elves, his boots producing sharp sounds with every step.
“Are all of them prepared attacking!?”
“Fast take the youngsters and run!”
“Oh goddess Fjörgyn….save us!”
The Elves started panicking as quickly as Add confirmed up. Whereas some braver ones took up their weapons and ready to battle, most of them panicked and started operating away. Annavel instantly realised that they’d forgotten this specific human after listening to the whistle.
(Rattling it! This bastard human adopted us! Did he plan all this from the beginning!?)
She instantly ran in the direction of him adopted by another Elves whereas Lilliana tried to settle down the panicked Elves.
“Everybody please settle down!” She was shouting making an attempt to tempo the Elves.
“You the way dare you observe us!? What’s your purpose !?” In the meantime Annavel pointed her sword in the direction of Add and shouted, making him cease. The few Elves round her additionally surrounded him.
He checked out her after which the opposite Elves close to him briefly however ignored them and saved strolling, and went previous her. This made the already offended Annavel mad, however simply as she was about to lash out together with her sword, one thing chilly all of the sudden touched her throat. Add’s sword was at her throat, the chilly blade simply touching her pores and skin. The opposite Elves have been additionally terrified.
“You….” Annavel gulped. The chilly of the metal was being felt from her pores and skin. Demise was simply that a lot distant from her.
“In the event you converse any extra bullshit….” he mentioned in a chilling voice, “I’ll simply chop your head off proper now…..do you imagine me ?”
His tone was so calm and chilly that she felt that he actually would do it. This boy who might slaughter males like he was butchering pigs, would certainly do it. She was additionally terrified on the pace with which he had drawn his weapon, her eyes had not been in a position to sustain along with his actions. This was to be anticipated, in any case, she was only a novice in sword arts who had been practising for a couple of years whereas Add had a cheat just like the system. His sword expertise have been already on par with the typical swordsmen, and the katana expertise have been particularly unknown to the Elves.
“Mr Add!”
Lilliana had simply pacified the Elves considerably by telling that Add saved her and Anna. Though she would have most well-liked {that a} human not seem right here, however since Add had already arrived, she might solely sigh. However she obtained scared when she noticed Add’s sword on Anna’s neck, and hurriedly ran in the direction of them, and Add too put his sword again into the sheath. Lilliana gave a sigh of reduction and requested the opposite Elves to place down their weapons too, which they did unwillingly. Many different Elves have been additionally them from the space.
“Mr. Add why have you ever adopted us right here ? You see, we’re in a hard state of affairs right here, so my persons are very scared. We aren’t on good phrases with people so…..If—“
However earlier than she might full her phrases.
“Miss Lilliana…..I do know that you’ve an issue…however what if I mentioned…. I had simply the answer on your downside”
His phrases made all the encircling Elves together with Annavel and Lilliana shocked.
_ _ _ _ _
“So that is the state of affairs….”
Lilliana, or somewhat Lily, as she requested Add to name her, defined the small print of the state of affairs like the placement of the group of people, their numbers and many others.to him. Though she did not know precisely what he needed, he had saved her earlier than and was fairly sturdy. If he was working with the opposite people, he had little motive to seem right here and attempt to deceive them because the Elves have been under no circumstances in a position to defend themselves. There was merely no want for him to faux if he needed to hurt them.
Add listened intently and nodded. Though the Elves needed to drive him away, since their chief had not performed so, they might solely wait and see. Annavel was a lot quieter now. She knew that she higher not mess with this violent human. After pondering for some time he stood up.
“Nicely Miss Lily, I would want somebody to information me to the placement then.”
“Do you imply, you’ll take motion proper now !?” Lily requested in shock to which Add nodded.
“Relaxation assured as I mentioned…I’ll take care of, extra like I’ve to…..”
The final half was spoken silently, so nobody heard him. Lily checked out him with a troubled expression.
“High quality then…let me talk about with the others…..” She referred to as her followers and mentioned the matter, whereas Add waited on the facet cleansing his AX338, and HK417A2. He could be utilizing them quickly.
“Lily can we actually belief him ? Let apart the truth that he’s a human, he’s a harmful particular person….I…I do not assume we must always belief him….” Anna tried to persuade Lily, “what if he betrays us….we can’t belief a human…”
The opposite Elves additionally gave comparable opinions, however Lily was clear headed. She was their choices, which actually have been very restricted. Right here, a robust particular person like Add was providing them assist, which they desperately wanted…additional with none assist they might certainly be killed or enslaved by the people, and even when he betrayed them, the outcome would he the identical. Within the uncommon probability that he didn’t betray them, nonetheless even for Add, she had little hope that he might handle over s hundred sturdy people. Lastly after a couple of minutes of discussions she was in a position to make the others conform to taking assist from Add. She bowed to him
“Mr. Add we’d all be very grateful on your assist!”
Add nodded flippantly. It was determined that Annavel, the Elf who had first seen the people and two different Elves would take Add to the placement whereas the remainder of the Elves would start transferring away from this camp. Though they’d little hope of escaping, no person needed to sit down and anticipate loss of life.
And so Add, together with the group left in the direction of the human camp. However none of them knew that what was going to occur at present, would mark the start of a sequence of occasions which might result in a destiny that nobody on this world had ever considered.
