Bellrath forest,
A wide woodland is the dwelling place for the elves. For centuries intruders have come seeking the resources the Bellrath forest has to offer but they have all been purged away by the elves. With their life longevity their traditions and culture have been well maintained and preserved.The elves are known for their exceptional weapon proficiency amongst all the other race.Legend also has it that the first queen of the elves was one of the three gods of creation signified by her emarald green eyes,That is why the royals who her the direct descendants of the queen also have green emarald eyes.The elven royals have a very large mana pool especially the queen,Before the reign of the current emperor the elven queen and the beast king were considered the most powerful and domineering in the southern continent.The abilities the elven royals inherited from the first queen are,The emarald eyes,The effect of the emarald eyes is perfect illusion, an ability that places a person in a reality like world and in that world the wielder of the emarald eyes is like a god capable of conjuring up anything with just a thought. There is also the use of Wood Elemental,One of the Elemental used in the creation of the world.The Elven kingdom is splitted into three clan,The sword clan,The bow clan,The shield clan.The leaders of each clan form the council of elders.The queen serve as a bridge that connects the three clan giving her full authority over them."Dilya Ertoris" The eight queen of the elves, She ascended to the throne at the age of thirty and has been ruling the elves for six hundred and fourty two years, but her appearance does not connote with her age.Sitting on the throne is Dilya and before her is the council of elders ofHouse Rofir,House Kyfir, House Torsys.House Rofir is the head of the sword clan,House Kyfir the head of the Bow clan, House Torsys the head of the Shield clan.A female elf comes in with a letter and reads the content out loud.The room went silent before the queen spoke."chuckled"!!! [to think that detestable pig would abdicate his noble title for an illegitimate, was he blackmailed] [it is unlikely to think that Zarek would leave his cherished title to an illegitimate and much less a kid] [makes me wonder how a kid was able to get Zarek to succumb to him] [that is all good and well but what is this about an invitation, is the new count mocking me] [perhaps he wishes to mend the ill-fated relationship with us your majesty] [do not trust the humans too much Kyfir they are a conniving bunch when it comes to back stabbing] [ I wonder what the Emperor thinks of this situation] [it is not like that old man to care for his people, he only pays attention to what might be a threat to him, and a little count is nothing but a bug in his eyes, what the new count should be worried about is the response of the other nobles] [that is indeed true, Zarek has earned himself a lot of enemies throughout his time and was able to walk away unarmed due to his connections to the Sacred palace, but the same cannot be said for the new count] [ what are you trying to say] [what I am saying is the neighboring Lord's are like a pack of hyenas waiting for the prey to weaken, since Zarek is off the seat it also means the connection to the Sacred palace is cut off. The neighboring Lord's will surely take advantage of this] [so what you are saying is a war might break out, what if the new count also has ties with the Sacred palace] [that is impossible, only pure blood nobles have a chance in securing ties with the Sacred palace while the new count is an outsider an illegitimate with an unknown background, the neighboring Lord's will not stand for it, they will surely consider it a stain in their pride. Their grudges with Zarek aside the illegitimacy is already enough as excuse for them to start the flames of war and since Edevin is a city with a lot of resources all the more reasons for the war] [so your highness what do you propose we do, this will also be a good time for us to pay back Zarek for the pain he has caused our people] [that is a bad suggestion, if we move out to take over Edevin then we will risk catching the Emperor's attention, I do not think I need to remind you of what happened to the last human kingdom that caught the Emperor's attention] [you mean the Arian kingdom? all wiped out with not a single man spared] [exactly and if we do not want to fall victim to such a fate then we must compose ourselves well, which is why your highness I suggest you accept the Count's offer for friendly relation] "sigh"!! [alright I will consider accepting if he does survive the clash against the other Lord's]. Looking at the town from my room window is a refreshing feeling in itself,I can not remember when last I took a break in my former life, Moving from places to places all just to secure my daily bread. "Sigh"!! That is all in the past now dwelling about it sickens me.It has been two weeks since I sent the invitation to the elves but I have yet to receive a reply,I knew forming relation with them is going to be hard given what they have had to go through in the hands of Zarek,Because of them I have shifted the party twice and Everett is also starting to complain about it, but this is a necessary course of action for me. While I was thinking about the elves situation, a shadow appeared at my back in a kneeling position,[my king] Achlys is the only ant subordinate I had follow me to the surface world,I figured his ninja like ability would be useful when I need crucial information,Since he is also able to hide himself in his space void others will not be able to see him.[you may speak] [as you wish my king] [I was carrying out my daily survey when I noticed a large number of humans headed to this city my king] "hmmm maybe they are travellers or merchants from another city, Just to be sure I should ask the crucial question [What is their status] [ yes my king, they all wore armor and also carried weapons] " Hey"!!!! That is definitely the qualities of a soldier, What the hell is happening? Why are the military coming here.This is a serious dilemma,I knew the other Lord's would be dissatisfied with my appointment but them declaring war was out of my calculations,I have been too affected by the norms of earth that I forgot this is not earth,War is a normal occurrence here,Survival of the fittest is what reigns. If I had to best describe this world I would call it a jungle where physical prowess reigns the highest. When I was summoned it was in a pool of blood and I had decayed bodies close to me. That is what the norms of this world is. "Damn it"!!!! In a rush to take over Edevin I forgot about what the other Lord's are capable of. Sending Acestes to wipe them out would be declaring to the world that I am not normal and I do not want that,All the cards are not ready yet, Going against my target in my current state would lead to a bad ending for me. [Everett is there any lord that would be willing to form an alliance with me] [ none that I can think of my lord, your background will most defin
Four days after leaving their various city,The Lord's army arrived at a valley of a day walk to Edevin. In there they set up their camp to strategize their method of attack.At the biggest tent sits the three Count's in a circled formation with Dian Vosloo chosen to be the acting leader of the expenditure. [when do you all propose we attack] [ is there even a need to discuss such things, as we all know the city right now is defenseless against our numbers] [Zareks neglection towards the army has made most of them quit and there is no knights, I am sure the people in the city will end up opening the city gates for us as anyone with good view can see this is a hopeless fight] [ alright then at daybreak tomorrow we will take over Edevin] [so how do we split the spoils] [we will settle that after we take it over]. After talking to the guild master he promised to help persuade the adventurers to volunteer but he did say that the entire decision still rests on them.I gave him a bou
The flame hands that were at the back of the Fire Spirit King launched at Ophel while still in midair,Ophel casted ice pillar and ice grew from the ground upon where Ophel was in midair blocking the flame hands, Ophel then casted ice lance and from Ophel's front a gigantic ice in a lance shape came out and headed straight for the fire king,The fire king seeing this stretched out his right hand and used it to ward of the Lance, Upon making impact with the ice lance fire came out of the Fire king's right hand and vaporized the ice. After Ophel had sent the ice lance towards the fire king he descend to the ground then had his two legs in a sprinting position pushing Ophel forward,The space made sounds of cracking as Ophel pushed himself forward with a never seen before like speed, Ophel came out of the smoke caused by the vaporizing ice and set his fist against the fire king,But the fire king dodged it with his left hand.A series of hand to hand exchange occurred between the both
The Lord's army began banging their weapons on the ground,A form of intimidation tactics to make the enemy understand the threat they pose and the invigority running through their veins. Sure enough the defense guards were all shrieking in fear,With low wages and worn out weapons,Honestly they have no reason to stand on the front lines to defend the city but they still upheld their title as warriors sworn to lay their lives for the people, That alone is commendable of them. One of the Lord's army came out and stood at the front of the army with a warhorn,He blew into the warhorn once and the archers came out in a vertical line of three,They strung their bows with fire lit in the arrow heads and shot it at the guards standing at the fortress walls. Edevin defense corps casted shield magic and transparent shield appeared to defend the fortress troops,The shield could not fully cover all the guards and some were hit by the arrows,Echoes of cries were heard within the fortress w
I watched as Ignatius (Fire Elemental King) wreck havoc in what was supposed to be a battle,His expression has anger written all over it probably because I forced him into a slave contract.It is really not my fault,All I did was summon an Elemental,I had no idea that a Fire Elemental King,the strongest of all fire elementals was going to be the one to answer my call. He could have just refused and not heed to my summonbut apparently Elemental spirits are unable to manipulate a summoning ritual,It is only until after being summoned that said Elemental can refuse forming a contract with the summoner. Of course the summoner can make use of force to get the Elemental to do its bidding like I did but that would mean having a higher level of power than the Summoned Elemental spirit which is very rare,I mean why would I want to summon something weaker than me in the first place, If it was not due to my circumstances I would not have even tried summoning.I think I might be overesti
In a throne room devoid of sunlight with pillars lined up both left and right from the entrance door down to where the throne is.On the two sides of the throne is a statue of a roaring lion and on the throne sits a being who continues to excude an intimidating Aura belonging to that of a high class being dressed in an armless golden robe revealing his black leathered pants and a plain golden singlet with a huge and muscline body,His black hair in a haggard but well trimmed state and a bandholz beard,his golden eyes that makes it near impossible to stare into.He sits with his leg spread open and his left hand resting on his chin with his back relaxed on the throne,A great sword in between his spread legs resting on his right lap,Yes this pose is that of a dominating king one truly befitting an Emperor who rules over all with fear.Patrick Moss, The only Grand Duke of the Empire,It is known across the people of the empire that in terms of military might the Grand Duke comes secon
I shifted the carriage's curtain to look at the view outside,It really is a nice change of scenery,For once since coming to this world I am finally able to have a moment of respite and that makes my mind feel calm,I can feel my mental fatigue melting away. I have been pretty occupied with making up tactics to use against the Emperor and now one of the core components has taken the bait.The letter I received from the elves was an invitation letter personally from the Queen,At first I was baffled by her letter When I sent her an invitation of my own requesting an audience with her she did not reply to it and now she is the one inviting me. I postponed whatever it is that was stopping me from not going and hurried to heed her call.Having no knights can really be troublesome, I had to hire adventurers as my escort to the elf kingdom, one A rank party composing of three people, one female and two male,Caren Krige( white mage) Louis Riley (Warrior)Dexter Holcomb(Tank). when I
[Twenty years ago] [your father Zarek who had just assumed his father's position reached out to me in an attempt to strike a proposal with me] [one that would actually benefit both the Elf Kingdom and his fief or so he said] As you might have known we elves are not well taken amongst the humans and so to solve this problem[he proposed to turn his city into a place where humans and elves can coexist and cohabitate togethe][If it all goes well then the humans might get to see the elves in a better view] [but that was all a lie, a trick, that deceitful cunning bastard][he lured my subjects out of the elf kingdom and turned them into his slaves] [auctioned them off like they were rags, my subjects became an object of ridicule and the most painful of it all is not being able to do anything about it] [I watch as my subjects get hunted like animals with collars on their necks for the humans entertainment] [being killed off like bugs and now you his illegitimate son dares to invite m
