    Chapter 316 – Details of the Battle


    The interview with the elves and the adventurers revealed the details on how they fought with the elven viges.


    Gulf, Daga, Pirika, 20 of Pirika’s fellow disciples, and 30 adventurers.


    It is a group of more than 50 people.


    There were five elf guides too but three of them left in order to report to their vige that the goo turtle has been defeated.


    The elf guides of Gulf’s group are now down to two.


    Thinking about killing other monsters and securing food, they move into the forest.


    They were discovered by a small scouting group of the Garets Forest Vige.


    The purpose of that small scouting group is to guard their vige.


    The ce where they discovered them is a ce a little far away from their vige’s territory so they’re not supposed to fight.


    Unfortunately, they were in a hostile rtionship with the two elves who apany Gulf’s group.


    The leader of the small scouting group in the Garets forest was a young elf and when he saw two hostile elves getting along with Gulf’s group, he made a big mistake.


    「He called for their army.」


    The leader of the small scouting group requests for reinforcements from Garets Forest Vige.


    More than a hundred elves were deployed by Garets Forest Vige.


    The elves’ fighting style is centered on long-range attacks with bows and magic while encircling the enemy.


    During the time when they were encircling Gulf’s group, the three elves who were able to report back to their vige weren’t able to return to Gulf’s group.


    They were attacked by the army of Garets Forest Vige who were on their way to surround Gulf’s group. The three of them were wounded.


    They were also taken.


    That time, the three already have anotherpanion.


    In order to thank Gulf’s group for their monster extermination, an elder from the vige apanied the three.


    He managed to escape while being injured on one of his arms.


    He came back to the vige and shouted.


    「The Garets Forest attacked!」


    The vige of the elf guides is called Gon Forest Vige.


    More than 100 elves were deployed from Gon Forest Vige.


    Unfortunately, the elf reinforcement from Gon Forest Vige had not been informed about Gulf’s group.


    Another unfortunate thing is, the two elf guides were already injured by the siege of the Garets Forest Vige.


    With no one exining the situation, Gon Forest Vige and Garets Forest Vige went to war with Gulf’s group in the middle.


    As for Gulf’s group….


    First, they counterattacked against the forces of Garets Forest Vige who made the preemptive strike.


    Gulf, Daga, and the adventurers struggle against the elves who devote themselves to long-range attacks. Pirika and her fellow disciples on the other hand are doing great.


    They evade fast traveling arrows and magic.


    They also defeated elves with one blow.


    While doing so, the Gon Forest Vige forces approached.


    Though they came from a vige hostile to Garets Forest Vige, they are still elves.


    Gulf’s group misunderstood them as enemy reinforcements.


    No one can solve that misunderstanding.


    The battle started at noon and it is already night.


    Further reinforcements arrived from the two forest viges.


    In the middle of the battlefield where they are fighting 500 elves, Gulf’s group thought of a way to break the status quo.


    That is, to capture the enemy’s stronghold.


    They were able to guess that there are two ces that seemed to be the enemy’s stronghold.


    Either of them will be the real one.


    The battle continued and the tension has gone up.


    Even if they were fewer than the enemies, Gulf’s group divide themselves into two groups.


    Then, on the night of the second day, they started moving towards each of the two strongholds.


    While repelling the chasing enemies, both groups managed to capture the enemy’s strongholds noon of the fourth day….when the news arrived at the viges, the two elven viges surrendered.


    Listening to everyone’s story, I can only call it an unfortunate encounter battle.


    But I’m d that there are only injured.


    I’m really d that no one died.


    It seems like both elven viges have people who can use healing magic and Gulf’s group has them too.


    However, if you only treated the elf guides first, wouldn’t you be able to reduce your enemy to half….


    「No one can use it infinitely, right? We are already thankful that they protected our bodies.」


    It is one of the elf guides. I heard they fainted.


    However, your goodwill and sacrifice backfired.


    Well, I can’t criticize them since I’m not there.


    If I’m there, I’m surely be in a panic.


    I can only think that everyone has done their best towards their goal.


    The first one who came is an elf from Gon Forest Vige.


    Their representative is a middle-aged male elf.


    It seems like he’s good at manipting tree magic.


    I heard that he is called tree king of Gon Forest Vige.


    As for the elven vige that attacked Gulf’s group, it is called Garets Forest Vige.


    Their representative is a fierce-looking elf female.


    She’s good with bow and she seems to be called bow king of Garets Forest Vige.


    ….why are they called king even though they’re from a vige?


    Is it boost their ego?


    Maa, since the two representatives initiate to work for Vige Five themselves, I’ll ept it.


    The two forest viges seem to be hostile against each other, will it be safe for them to work together?


    Youko, who asked why they are hostile with each other, was stunned since they don’t have any serious reason to fight at all. As for me, I don’t care why.


    In any case, the two of them migrated to Vige Five along with a fewpanions.


    With the proposal of the two former four heavenly kings, it was decided to build a house near the top of Vige Five for them.


    Is it necessary to do that?


    「They are representatives of two forces that have their own territory near Vige Five. If you treat them warmly, you won’t even need to deal with other forces.」


    So, it is necessary.


    Let’s prepare a house by all means.


    What are the two of you nning to do from now on?


    Will you help with the monsters and demon beasts extermination of the adventurers? Or are you going to help with the domestic affairs of Vige Five?


    Though they could have helped with the exterminations of monsters and demon beasts, they chose to help with domestic affairs….I think tree king might be able to do it but can bow king do it?


    You want to deal with the vige’s external affairs?


    Excuse me for being rude but that’s not going to happen.


    Are you well-known?


    For the time being, let’s have them show their face by being the judges of the cksmith showdown on the final day of the festival.


    The high elf Ria came with me too and participated in the event as a judge.


    Are you acquainted with those two?


    It looks like you are talking positively.


    「I warned the two of them. They will not trouble Vige Five in the future.」


    Well, thank you.


    Though it is a pity that Gutt did not win in the cksmith showdown, I don’t have anyints about the result.


    For the winner, the Vige Five team, I’ll have…no, I’ll even cook for you.


    Hahaha.


    Do not hold back.


    Youko and the two former four heavenly kings are doing their best for Vige Five so let’s not forget them.


    There’s not much I can do so don’t hold back.


    Let’s share some with tree king and bow king too.


    The ax dwarf team will also stay in Vige Five? No, it was decided that they’ll migrate?


    They are great when ites to cksmithing so that helps us a lot.


    As for prison dwarf teams A, B, and C…..they’ll return to prison but only for a day. After that, they’ll work under ax dwarf.


    You have my consent.


    After that, Vige Five still has a lot of things to discuss with outsiders.


    If it was only me, I would have given up already.


    Is Youko still fine?


    You still have some leeway?


    Good, very reliable.


    Then, I’ll leave Vige Five to you.


    Ah, and don’t do anything in the dark.


    I can’t help but say that…..


    「You don’t have to worry vige chief. Please leave Vige Five to me.」


    I feel dignity backed with experience.


    She’s really reliable.


    She gives off the beautiful lord feeling.


    However, when shees back to Big Tree Vige at night, she turns into azy fox.


    「If you have anything worrying you, please let me know. I’m not that useful but I can listen to yourints.」


    After a short interval when she heard my words, Youkoughed loudly.


    I cheered her up…..


    「I’m sorry. However, if vige chief is not considered as useful, don’t you think the world is too harsh? If you won’t have a little more confidence, those around you will be in trouble.」


    Mou.


    I’ll think about it.
