Chapter 288: Lessons from War
"Kill! Drive away these aliens who are harming our compatriots!" It was just dawn, and the royal capital that had experienced the battle yesterday had not yet recovered from the heavy smell of death. ． COM's passionate shout resounded throughout the royal capital. Those who were leaning against the city wall and sleeping, and the elves who were sleeping soundly in tents on the outskirts did not yet know what was happening.
Human swordsmen wearing red robes and plate armor, holding short axes and long swords, entered each tent, waving their hatred blades at the elves who were still sleeping! Just hearing the sound of meat being cut, bright red petals bloomed on the tent. These elf warriors, who were much better than humans in terms of martial arts, physical strength, equipment and archery skills, were assassinated on their own mattresses in such shame.
In the royal capital, Kalechi, whose armor had been dyed blood red, stared with bloodshot eyes, holding a long sword dripping with blood, followed by a large number of soldiers who were also dyed red and the nobles under his banner. He walked out of the palace that was washed with blood with great vigor. Looking up, five or six groups of swordsmen holding elven heads in their hands rushed over with cold eyes. Seeing the ferocious king standing on the steps, he immediately rushed up. They all knelt on one knee on the steps.
Looking at the crowd of kneeling soldiers below, and the four or five elves' heads each held in the hands of the soldiers. Watching the blood dripping from the head dye the steps red and flowing down the steps. Kalechi, who looked ferocious, suddenly whispered: "Did anyone bring him here?" "Yes, Your Majesty, he has been caught."
stop. Five or six swordsmen grabbed three elves who were tied with hemp ropes and pulled them up. Two of them. One female and one male. The woman looks like she is no more than thirty years old, which is when she is beautiful. The man is in his fifties or sixties. His white hair hangs on his chest. And the last one is a girl. It looks like a child who is not even ten years old. All three of them have long ears and blond hair. The first two people are two of the clan chiefs of the nine major clans of high elves. And the last girl is one of Windsor’s daughters! The candidate who may succeed the princess in the future!
Kalechi, who showed no mercy, grabbed the girl's hair and lifted her up. He ignored the girl's lung-breaking screams and cries. He stared and said in a low voice, "Come, take you to see your mother, you dirty thing with long ears."
Soon after, Windsor, who was sleeping in a tent in the countryside because he couldn't get used to living in a human palace, learned that the royal capital had fallen. After the secret rebellion in the Kingdom of Camelot. Windsor, who was concerned about her daughter's safety, rushed to the royal capital with a mighty army after clearing away the assassinated soldiers. Looking up, I saw all the elves, including Windsor. Shock and hatred appeared on all faces!
As if to ridicule what Windsor did to the city yesterday, one can now see hundreds of long wooden poles inserted into the ground and standing in front of the city gate of the royal capital. After the collision, a lot of bloody elven warrior heads sprang up like candied haws of sugar! The hair, which had been dyed red and solidified by plasma, was knotted on one side. Occasionally, one or two crows who came after hearing the news would lie on the head, open their mouths and pick up the eyeballs, enjoying another delicious meal unscrupulously.
shame! This is simply the most complete disgrace to Windsor! "Capture this damn city! Hang all these humans who have harmed our compatriots alive!" Windsor roared with tears in his eyes. And other equally sad and angry elf warriors are also ready to take action. But at this juncture, Kalechi, who looked leisurely and even cold, dragged out two people who were tightly tied with ropes. They were the two clan leaders among the nine high elven clans.
"If you attack, I will cut off the heads of the two clan leaders and nail them to the pillars!" After that, he took out a dagger and dangled it at the necks of the two clan leaders who looked in pain. Windsor's face was full of hesitation. Her original intention was to ignore the lives of these two clan leaders. Go up and kill these traitorous humans. But if this happens, the relationship between the nine major clans will break down. The high elves will be fatally weak if they unite. …,
"Taking hostages! You are a betrayer for the second time. Where are the honor and chivalry that you humans are proud of? You dare not face the enemy head-on, but you are threatening two elves who cannot resist!" Although he was furious, there was no So argued Windsor, who had lost his mind. Trying to break the opponent's psychology, and then looking for opportunities to save the two clan leaders. But Kalechi, who didn't react much to this, just looked down at Windsor in the distance and said: "Glory and chivalry are only for those who have glory and chivalry. You are not even a human being. Not to mention that you have no glory and chivalry at all. Spirit."
As soon as Kalechi finished speaking, he suddenly waved. The soldiers waiting nearby immediately stepped forward and lifted the Windsor daughter, whose mouth was gagged with a cloth ball and tied with ropes all over, onto the wall stack! "Alyssa! You despicable pigs!"
Windsor, who was really panicked now, was furious and frightened. But Kalechi remained unmoved. He shook the dagger in his hand with a smile and said, "Look. You actually use our human curse words to curse people. Dear Queen of Windsor, I really want to know what you will do for your sake." How much will my daughter pay? For example, withdraw the army five hundred miles. And pay for weapons, armor, gold coins and other materials." Kalechi, with a cold look in his eyes, asked for the price. But at a distance of five hundred miles, the territory that the elves had built over so many years was reduced to nothing. And paid so much material. The other clan leaders would never agree!
After taking a deep look at her poor daughter, Windsor suddenly seemed determined. He didn't care about the shaken expressions of the surrounding elf warriors. He raised his head and shouted sternly: "Attack the city! Attack the city!" "But Your Majesty, the princess is still in their hands, and the two clan leaders are also in their hands!"
The elf next to him immediately stepped forward to persuade her, but Windsor, who had realized something, had tears in his eyes, looked at her daughter with an unbelievable expression on the top of the city, and choked up: "I am a mother, but the premise is that I am a mother. Queen! I shoulder the future and destiny of our entire high elves! If the great true god Iacono tests me like this, I can only dedicate everything to my homeland. And I will bear the pain of losing my daughter alone. .”
Windsor's face was full of determination. It is also righteous and awe-inspiring. But only she knows. It would be a pity if he abandoned the territory he finally conquered and the supreme glory of his grandfather because of a daughter. My daughter can still have another baby. As for the territory, it can never be regained. Kalechi had a look of shock on his face after hearing these words. Obviously this Windsor is no longer the Windsor he knew before. Just when he was worried about what to do with this elf girl. His son Uther suddenly said from behind: "Father, how could you do such a thing!"
When he turned around and saw his son, the surprise on Kalechi's face was obvious: "Yuser, why are you here?" But Yuser, whose face was full of anger, immediately said: "Father! How could you do this? Holding a child hostage with a knife, and then threatening a mother? You are the king of the kingdom!" "Go down!" Kalechi, who frowned, immediately shouted. But Yose refused to give up: "Father, stop it. Although I still love you, I also know honor. If you do this, you will only be criticized by future generations!" "You..."
Kalechi had an angry look on his face. Suddenly he put the dagger in Yose's hand, then pulled out the long sword from his waist and roared on his son's neck: "Go! Kill this elf girl!" "Father! What are you doing!" Yose's face was full of horror. look. The surrounding soldiers also wanted to persuade him to stop. But looking at the king's terrifying eyes. I didn’t dare to waste any more words. But Kalechi stared at User who dared not move and said in a low voice: "Go! Kill this elf girl, or I will kill you right here! The future king of the Kingdom of Camelot does not need cowards!"... ,
"Father! I...I can't do it!" Tears rolled down User's eyes, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter. Seeing this, Kalechi, whose brows were full of anger, slapped him. With a snap, User was knocked to the ground. Ignoring Yose lying on the ground, covering his face with blood. He looked at his father in shock. Kalechi took a step forward and forced him: "Coward! Pick up the dagger! Your godfather Paladin once taught me a truth in his early years. Those who dare not throw themselves into the darkness will only be burned by the dazzling light! Quick, Scoop it up! Or I’ll kill you right here!”
"Father..." User looked at Kalech as if he had changed into a different person. Suddenly, he felt the tip of the sword on his neck, going deeper. The tingling sensation immediately came to mind. Bright red glare dripped onto the floor. Only then did User truly understand that his father was really not just pretending. But it will really kill him!
Under the absolute fear of death. With tears in his eyes, Yose slowly sat up and picked up the dagger on the ground with trembling hands. Seeing the slow look, Kalechi felt angry again: "Quick! I don't have much patience!"
In desperation, User walked towards the elf girl with trembling steps, whose eyes were full of tears and who kept struggling and shaking her head. This princess is User's usual playmate. Both were having fun together, teasing and playing games. But now the reality is too cruel. There was a war on both sides. But he wanted to kill his usual playmate with his own hands! What a huge shock and excitement this must have been for User.
Watching User approach the elf girl step by step, Kalechi put away his sword. He walked behind User and lowered his voice and said, "This is the first lesson I teach you, child. As a king, don't have pity or hesitation." As soon as he finished speaking, Yose, whose eyes were full of hesitation and struggle, suddenly shouted loudly. With a cry, the dagger immediately stabbed into the girl's body! Looking at the girl, her body suddenly trembled. His eyes widened. He looked like he couldn't scream, and he didn't know where the power came from. User suddenly pulled out the dagger like crazy and inserted it again. Yelling crazily, crying in pain, and constantly poking the elf girl's weak body!
"No! Alyssa! No!" Windsor, who was watching this scene below, suddenly screamed miserably. But User stabbed the dead body again and again like a machine. Seeing this, Kalech immediately pulled User up. Take the dagger from your hand. See his dazed and red eyes. Suddenly he sighed silently and said to the soldiers watching beside him: "Send the prince down. Take good care of him."
After the soldiers sent away the dazed and sluggish User, Kalech turned his head and looked down at the elven legions arranged in a phalanx below with a gloomy face. He shouted to the soldiers guarding the city beside him: "Come on! Our brothers! Let us greet the death that these aliens have specially sent!" After that, he quickly drew out his sword. .
