Chapter 179 Berlin, Dark Elf Kingdom 3

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"Um ... did you say you came from the Roman Gate?"

Lee Hyun-wook and his group are being 'smeared ' in the form of dark elves, and they are filtered in 'terminal' kingdom of dark elves, a large space filled with dozens of portal generators.

"Yes, right. There are a total of five. "

A dark elf was sitting on a magic fence and asking questions while checking the permission they gave him, and Argenti Arcum, the knight of the 2nd Prince's guard, answered as his representative.

Still, there was nothing wrong with the pass, and he didn't pay attention to Polymorph, so he just covered the pass, but his eyes remained aggressive.

"Great! How dare you come to visit without prior contact? Did you know that you must get permission to visit at least a week in advance to be able to use the gate? "

"Ah, that ... ... ."

"It's in the same exhibition now! You won't know if this is just a heart coming out of the boat, huh? "

" ... ... I apologize for not being able to report first because there is an urgent matter that I must go to. "

Because it was wartime, there were sharp borders on the border, but the armed forces were everywhere. After all, if my stomach is exposed here, or if I'm arrested for procedural problems, it will be quite troublesome.

And if there is a clear hierarchical order in this race, the terminal guard proudly folds his arms and starts throwing nagging skillfully.

"Hi gatekeeper, if I ask you this, don't you have to tell me the reason? Do you enter and exit the terminal once or twice?

Then the guard knight tilted his head slightly forward and whispered in a low voice.

"Hey, that ... Do you know Seuss Bupo?"

Maybe it was the name of someone with a high enough position, the eyes of the terminal guard grew reflexively.

"Huh? Uh, Aldamada! Aren't you the manager of the 7th Forest? Aren't you now at war with humans? "

"Yes, he really likes the best Italian wine, which is a human drink. He will throw a party after this battle, " he said.

When he said that, he pointed to a place, where there was a small iron box.

Then the terminal guard involuntarily got up and nodded his head.

"Ah, that's what happened! "

The reason he agreed so quickly was because a high-ranking official named Sous Bupo was famous for his fondness for human food.

"Yes, there he is. Haha, sorry to bother you. "

"If it's an order from the 7th Forest administrator ... Great, yes, I'm stupid and waste your valuable time! Still, if he is caught carrying things from the human world in these times, even he will get into trouble. ", so you have to be careful. Sun!"

In this way, Argenti Arcum can pass the checkpoint for false reasons that make sense and have been prepared in advance.

"Wow, dark elves are no different from humans. If you mention the name of the boss just once, it is a free entry ticket ... ... "

"When I returned from vacation, I remember being tested at a guardhouse. "

Kim Se-hee and Park Jun-mo left comments one by one.

After exiting the terminal, they walked for a long time along a long hallway, and soon found a very large space called 'plaza'.

"This is the center of our kingdom, and is connected almost everywhere. If there is a problem, you must pass this place while running away.

The second prince explained.

There are lots of dark elves coming and going, and it feels like a transit station in the city center.

And it is as if the unknown thick roots whether growing from the ground or descending from the ceiling stand like a building, and are actually dug up and used as buildings.

Luminous flowers bloom from the ceiling, filling the entire basement with soft white light ... ... If there is no concern about enemy camps, it is a mysterious sight like a fairy village in a fairy tale.

However ...

"Uh, isn't that ... someone? "

Suddenly, Park Jun-mo whispered in a surprised voice.

"Huh?"

And it's true, there are people in the Dark Elf crowd.

They walked in a row, with both hands tied with something like green vines, with bald heads and only tattered cloth on their poor faces.

Seeing the elves of the dark guarding the area with weapons, it seemed like they were slaves.

'They must be citizens who cannot escape from Berlin at the time of the third wave. '

Those who could not get out of this country when the disaster happened, even when Berlin began to turn into a green hell because it could not prevent it.

'And may be run as agricultural slaves. '

The alleged Hondal Guardian amounts to 30,000 to 40,000.

However, there was no way to save them, so they had no choice but to live as slaves to the Dark Elves.

"What, what is that ... are you going to catch humans and make them slaves? "

Kim Se-hee asked in a sharp voice, and the two elf darks looked like they had no faces.

" ... ... I have nothing to say. "

And as an excuse, he explained that when the royal family ruled, their quality of life was higher than now, and at that time they could respect the hostages as much as possible.

That is not entirely wrong, because the kingdom of Dark Elf tries to be friends with humanity, at that time they will be more like hostages than slaves.

However, with the intervention of criminals, 'Great General ' took power and everything went awry.

" ... ... For now, let's continue."

"Good, here it is."

Lee Hyun-wook doesn't tease things like that. That's because he has witnessed humanity, which has become far more miserable than that, throughout his past life.

The crowd gradually diminished, the ceiling was lowered, and the light began to fade. That means get out.

"Starting from here, this is a residential area. My close friend will be waiting for us. "

"By the way, they are people who can be trusted, right? "

Kim Se-hee asked. She seemed to save her distrust after seeing a human slave some time ago. Then the second prince frowned as if he was offended.

"They are the people who will give their lives for me. And I will also give up my life for them. "

"Hmm, usually I'm betrayed in a relationship like that ... is it because of the opposite? "

How far they walked, Lee Hyun-wook felt footsteps chasing them.

I don't know if it's an enemy or not, but because he's in the middle of an enemy camp, I have no choice but to be alert.

Two fail-noughts began to shake from his waist.

Then... ...

"Oh Prince, here it is. "

In an alley, cloaked people gestured.

***

" ... ... For now, I want to say that breaking into 'The Space of Power ' where the general lives today is an act of suicide. "

A female dark elf said so while holding out a teacup to the party.

His name is Lilium Pide, once said to be an official of the Royal Interior Ministry and a friend of the Second Prince.

And Dark Elf 'loyalists ' here, including him, reacted negatively after hearing about Lee Hyun-wook's plans and his party.

"Now, almost all the troops left to defend the kingdom gather there. Because the general controls 'Vinguard' through his chair. The defense is more thorough than before. Conversely, it will be more difficult to break through than usual. . "

The second prince also nodded as if agreeing with Lilium Fidet.

"Yes, no matter how many troops are sent to war, they will persistently defend the place ... they are still unable to completely eliminate the loyalists who aspire to restore the king's power ... "

Although Lee Hyun-wook is eyeing the moment when the house becomes empty, the security of the core goals is more comprehensive.

'Yes, I have estimated this to some extent. '

Lee Hyun-wook didn't tell them, but he used Fly Eyes to look around the Kingdom of Dark Elf.

And no matter how many troops fled, the center came to the conclusion that its defense was more thorough than expected.

Lee Hyun-wook is in trouble.

'No matter how quietly I infiltrate, this is an enemy camp. And the hardest thing is that green waves grow on ceilings, walls and floors everywhere. '

'Green Wave', waves of cannibal vines facing Lee Hyun-wook in Yggdrasil City.

In other words, it is possible that if you make a small mistake, you will be stuck in vain. It was like a flying worm that could barely fly through a spider's web.

'So when you have one change, what to do after that ... ... We have to improve the situation so we can penetrate as comfortably as possible. '

In other words, it takes a very surprising opportunity to bring out as many troops as possible who guard 'Power Room '.

that... ...

"Rebellion ... ... "

"One huh?"

Hearing Lee Hyun-wook's words, everyone looked at him.

"If there is a rebellion inside the castle, won't some troops in the throne room come out to suppress it? "

Lilium Fidet nodded at Lee Hyun-wook's question, but that didn't mean he gave a positive answer.

" ... Oh, I understand what you mean. However, the majority of loyalists who advocate the restoration of the monarchy are now in prison. Yes, you can shake it up like a coup, but you can't just withdraw. troops in that much power room. This will require more chaos, which is not possible at this time. "

Lee Hyun Wook shook his head.

"No, not the loyal Dark Elves ... unless you have enough troops. For example, thousands of people. "

"Um, no ... are you trying to use humans? "

I asked if the second prince noticed something, and Lee Hyun-wook nodded.

"POWs are detained here, not a few of them can fight if they have weapons. "

Because not a few of them must have been caught against the Dark Elves. And even after that, there must be some who experienced 'revival ' ... If not, there will be hundreds of combat players.

And Lee Hyun-wook has hundreds of special player weapons, and moreover, he is able to call many family members with an iron golem core.

So it is possible to rebel properly.

"If we release them and cause a commotion, can the army guarding the throne room be mobilized? "

Lilium Fidet pondered for a moment at the words and shook her head.

"Ha ... it's really impossible."

He pointed out the window, to the ceiling.

About a dozen meters above, near the ceiling, stretched plant stems such as cables or pipes mounted on buildings.

That is 'Green Wave '.

"The main reason they cannot rebel is because everywhere in this kingdom there are plants that can be controlled by the power of the Throne. "

In other words, at the time of the rebellion, plants flew like tentacles from the ceiling and walls and tied everything up.

"But what if ... a fire occurs? "

Lee Hyun-wook suggested another alternative.

Fire, it is a substance that can never be found in the Kingdom of Dark Elf.

This is because, because the area is made of plants, the fire will become out of control if it spreads, so that the Dark Elves do not even eat cooked food, and the lights are replaced by the plants themselves which emit light.

Lee Hyun-wook explained next.

"If the rebels are shot, won't Green Wave instinctively retreat? Of course, it will be a problem if the forest elementalist advances and forces him to move ... but most forest elementalists will go there. war, and the rest will rule. They will guard the room, which is to send them away. "

The Green Wave witnessed by Lee Hyun-wook was previously controlled by monster boss Floss Louver, who was called a forest manager.

Therefore, this shows a terrible power that cannot be stopped by any fire magic.

However, if it is a naturally growing green wave like this, even ordinary fire is enough to limit its activity.

However, when Lee Hyun-wook repeatedly raised objections, Lilium Fidet put up a slightly annoyed expression.

As a close friend and loyalist of the 2nd Prince, he helped with this plan, but the concepts of hostility and rebellion against humans did not seem to be well received.

"Ha ... of course we are all ready to face a fire. Our city is not that bad. "

He then explained that anywhere in the underground city, water-resistant plants took root and acted as a kind of sprinkler.

Then, looking at the second prince, he made a frustrated expression, asking if he really could trust this human.

"Ah ... ... But I think we can fix it! "

It was a young dark elf still sitting in the corner.

She raised her hand with a plain expression, but contrary to her immature appearance ... ...

– Spirit Mage Dark Elf (LV: 61)

However, she was ranked 'Elite' among 'Forest Spirit Wizards ', the so-called most elite among the Dark Elves.

In other words, if this person raises his level even further, he will become an elite monster '.

The second prince also joined.

"Yes, with some adherents of forest animism, we can control fire fighting plants in slave settlements so as not to spew water in the event of a fire. Lilium, how many forest animists can we mobilize? "

Even when the second prince helped, she blushed, coughed, and opened her mouth.

"That ... as these humans said before, most of them were asked, so there was little in the kingdom. The only thing that comes to mind now is about five or six ... "

"Yes, that is enough. I'm also familiar with forest spirits to some extent, so if I join you, I will be able to control 'waterways ' and cause the fire to spread. The troops in the room will be sent ... "

He turned and looked at Lee Hyun-wook.

"If, as you say, troops from the throne room are pulled out, can you come in with that magic helmet and kill the general? "

Lee Hyun-wook raised the teacup placed in front of him and nodded as if it were natural.

"Well, I want to blow up the entire throne room with the whole army, but if I do that, I can even destroy the throne, right? "

" ... I'm sorry? To blow up an entire throne room, isn't that an excessive joke? "

Once again, Lilium Fidet took the lead this time.

"It makes me wonder how important this is to us today. This is no joke! "

Lee Hyun-wook drinks a sip of tea without reacting.

However, the second prince came forward and faced Lilium Fide.

"Stop- Lilium Fidet, please respect a little. From what I have observed, this person is usually not joking, and it's not even a joke. "

" ... Yes? So are you really saying that this person has the power to destroy the throne room once? "

The second prince nodded at the question.

"Because it's true, if we want our city to return safely, we have to do what this person says. "

" ..."

"I want you to remember that and ensure all the details of the rebellion. "

"Yes I understand."

So, the so-called planetary escape operation began.

***

In fact, life is despair. First, happiness is only a utopia, and chasing it is a series of sufferings.

This is a nihilism that is clearly experienced by every human who lives a difficult life at least once, but this applies to humans who live here, in 'slave settlements ' in the Kingdom of Dark Elf.

Somewhere there, in a damp and yellowish cellar, a tattered man was sitting around a messy table and talking.

A little while ago, lunch time, so we chatted after dinner.

However, today's atmosphere is not very good.

"Hey, I really can't take it anymore! After the war, the workload became very extreme! "

A thin man grabbed his head and shouted thus.

" ... ... Hey, I'll die like this!"

Among human slaves, 'players ' are hard workers.

They were taken to the dark elf garden to provide mana to the fruit.

It's not easy to die, but it's a terrible job, there is no choice but to die very painful and slowly, as it is called high blood flow.

"Heuk-heuk- I really just want to die!"

And this man is half crazy because of pain.

Finally, another man comforted her, put her to sleep, and took her to the slum to lay her down.

An old man who watched the scene sighed.

As the oldest person in the basement, he has served as their spiritual supporter. However, his face was only filled with shadows from one day.

"Now I feel like I just want to die. "

"Yes? Grandfather, don't say that. He advised me to always hope, and humanity always found answers! "

A boy offered an old man a dried and twisted fruit.

But the old man waved his hand.

"Haha: How many years ago was that? "

"Uh, that ... "

"It's been too long. This bridle ... Gradually, hope itself began to be funny, as if remembering youth in pursuit of dreams. And it seems that pride in humanity no longer exists. "

It's been 6 years since I was arrested here in the underground city of the Dark Elf Kingdom ... ... They are now too old to put hope.

"By the way, it is said that the elf dark army has fled completely, like some time ago ... Maybe the rescue operation has finally begun? "

This time the young woman asked.

He is holding a newborn baby.

"I still want to believe. Uh, I can come out someday. And I will definitely let my daughter enjoy the sun. "

Maybe because of the guilt he felt for the child born in this dungeon, he seemed unable to despair.

But others don't.

"No, I'm sorry, but ... ... When I listened to what the guards talked about at the last harvest, it seemed like they were conquered in reverse. "

"What? then... ... Not only here in Berlin, but all of Germany is collapsing? "

"Not that, it happens all over Europe. Maybe the whole world ... As the old man said, what is the pride of mankind, we are finished. "

Hearing those words, cynicism and moans flowed from everywhere.

Being imprisoned here is a terrible thing, and what makes the pain worse is the news that all humanity is being damaged.

It feels like hearing the country being invaded while being a prisoner of war.

That is the most disappointing news.

"Damn, you bastard like a dog ... "

In the end, a man let out a groan of anger. He was overcome with anger over his friend's recent execution.

"Damn, even if I die, I'm sure I'll kill one or two of them! "

"Hey- Calm down, you're too noisy. And if the guards hear you, remember that we will also be punished. "

"Damn, how long will you live like this? We're going to die anyway, isn't it better to die in battle? Still, we are players! Why don't we fight properly just once? "

However ...

bum bum

Footsteps are heard in the dark on one side, and people close their mouths and look away.

bum bum

But I'm not too nervous.

This is a very deep place even in slave settlements, so patrols by guards are very rare. That's why they talk freely here.

However ...

"Ah!"

They were shocked and stood up.

"Uh, uh ... go, take care? "

There, the dark elf stood up.

"Uh, why are you here ... ... ."

And the Dark Elf here is a brutal guard, but if you hear the gossip ... ... They are practically dead.

And, given the current atmosphere, he can be the target of a brief execution here. Especially, the woman holding her young daughter trembled and was tired of blue.

"Oh no ... please ... "

However, there was no anger on the dark elf's face.

Strangely, he looked at people one by one with happy faces ...

"Hey, this is a human settlement, right? "

I asked that question, and everyone had no choice but to put on a blank expression.

What kind of question is this?

" ..."

After being silent for a long time, the young man who first regained consciousness nodded his head.

" ... Uh, uh, yes! Yes, take care! "

Then the dark elf raised his head, looked at the ceiling, and shouted.

"Yes, right! Get down now! "

kooded—

Sounds like that echo over the head, and people raise their heads one by one ... ... Isn't the green wave that forms the ceiling stretched and down from there?

chin

Six dark elves descended from the ceiling.

And one of them stepped forward and stood in front of the young man.

"I want to meet with the leaders here. "

In an instant, silence passed.

Once again the young man answered.

"Wow, you're a leader ... there's no way a slave can do that? Haha! We know that forming private organizations is prohibited, and we always remember it! "

Hearing that question, the dark elf looked at the dark elf standing behind.

"Can you release my polymorph for a moment? "

"Well, it takes 15 minutes to reapply, okay?"

"I don't think I can do anything to explain this situation to these people. "

woo woo woo

At that moment, a black light appeared from the dark elf's face ... ...

" ... Uh, legitimate, are you human? "

It turned into a human, Asian man's face.

"I just heard your conversation accidentally. So I don't know if it would be a little entertaining to hear something like this ... "

Then he approached and put his hand on the young man's shoulder and opened his mouth gently.

" ... ... On behalf of humanity, I have come to save you."
