I prepared to fire the ballista again from the top of the canyon. At that time, a shadow quickly jumped out from the side of the Antares-Galin alliance. It was Siris, a platinum-blond-haired elf girl holding a silver scimitar in both hands.
“No way!”
Running through the canyon, Siris threw himself into the cliff. The way she climbs the cliff, stepping on the protruding parts, is reminiscent of a mountain goat. She cried out as she climbed halfway up the cliff in one go, throwing her body into the air.
“Sarana! “Everyone come out!”
Soon, three wind spirits, Sarana, were created in front of me and a staircase was created in the air. Climbing up one after another, Siris quickly reached the top of the cliff where the ballista was located.
The soldiers near the cart shouted in astonishment.
“Ahh!”
“It’s an elf witch!”
Siris shook both hands. The two scimitars scattered eerie sword light into the air. A sword wind blew, and all the soldiers near the ballista fell down, spraying blood.
“Haaaab!”
So she attacked five carts one after another. After dispatching her soldiers, Siris extended her hand.
“good! Salamander!”
Five fire lizards flew one after another and burned the carts. It took only a few minutes to neutralize all the ballistas, a truly terrifying act of inaction.
Lord Garand let his shoulders slump helplessly.
“Damn… … It’s difficult for even a single king to handle it, but even his subordinates are such monsters… … .”
After handling the situation, Siris threw himself down the cliff again.
After using the sylph to lighten his body, he lands as easily as a feather, and the series of movements is truly natural. Leffenhardt looked proud.
‘Your skills have really improved.’
Since the revival of the World Tree, Siris’s elemental arts have been improving day by day.
Earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, thunder.
Among the seven major spirits, it was possible to handle most of the five major spirits except light and darkness, and in the case of the familiar flame or wind spirits, it was possible to call multiple entities.
As a Nihilen user from the beginning, she learned elemental arts faster than others, but even so, her progress was too fast. Considering that even the chieftain of the Danheim clan, Relhard, can still control only some of the flame spirits and wind spirits, it can be said that he has grown beyond common sense.
‘Hehe, it looks like the imprinted effect is slowly appearing.’
Secretly, Reppenhardt smiled sinisterly.
In fact, Siris’s tremendous growth was somewhat difficult.
This is when we revive the World Tree Jerunting and link it with the World Tree Nihilen. At that time, Repenhardt secretly forcibly engraved Siris’ name into the core of the World Tree.
Elvenheim, the true world tree that existed in ancient times.
Elvenheim would choose one elf as a guardian to protect it for generations and give it powers. The elf chosen by Elvenheim becomes the leader of all elves and is given the task of protecting the world tree and leading the race.
In other words, they manipulated the internal information of the World Tree and made Siris the guardian and leader of the elves.
This was the biggest reason why she was able to be an active member of the Four Heavenly Kings in her previous life.
Atilcana, Tarsid, and Marqueline are born as the strongest of their respective races, but Siris is actually just an ordinary elf who was saved by Reppenhardt. Although he has excellent swordsmanship, he is not good enough to lead the clan. To put it simply, was he a talented person made of hard work?
Of course, even if you are chosen as a guardian, it will be in vain if you do not make your own efforts. Fortunately, just like in her previous life, Siris in her current life was steadily building up her skills, so there didn’t seem to be any problems.
Satisfied, Leffenhardt turned his gaze toward the canyon.
Seeing that even the ballista did not work, the Chetas Knights turned their horses and fled. The Knights of Galin were chasing after them.
Siris, who came next to me, muttered in a leisurely voice.
“This is the end of Baron Chetas.”
Chapter 26 Silver Assassin
One
Hundargad, a fortress castle in the central part of the Cetas Barony.
A handsome middle-aged man was slamming the table and venting his anger.
“After all, they even passed through Nedas Canyon!”
Sir Garand, who was prostrate in front, bowed his head and answered.
“I’m sorry, Baron Chetas. Because we don’t have enough strength… … .”
Unable to control his anger, Baron Chetas clenched his fists. And he became angry and swore.
“Leppenhardt! That damn bastard! “This was a regular tactic in the first place!”
If you think about it, it was like this during the Crovence Civil War. He suddenly appeared in the Yubel army, which was being pushed back, and imposed coercive conditions without giving him any choice, eventually establishing his own country. He is doing the same thing this time too.
“Taking advantage of other people’s misfortune for one’s own gain, doesn’t the King of Powers even know the duties of a knight?”
It may not seem like something Baron Chetas, the ’cause’ of the misfortune, would say, but it was truly infuriating for him, who had almost won anyway.
The situation was completely changed due to the participation of the Kingdom of Antares in the war. The army of Baron Chetas, who had been on a roll, was destroyed and most of his territory was invaded, forcing them to reach Hundargad.
The Auror user he trusted, Lord Grandiard, was also of no use. When he found out that his opponent was Reppenhardt, he made one excuse or another to buy his body.
Although they were related, Baron Cetas and Sir Grandiard were only second cousins at most. If he was going to deal with the King, he would also have to risk his life, so there was absolutely no reason to go to such lengths to help Baron Chetas.
There were urgent attempts to negotiate, but it was Baron Chetas who first refused to negotiate. Of course he didn’t get eaten either.
“Is he the only one I can trust now…?” … .”
Baron Chetas stood up. He was going to find the only hope he had left.
A gorgeous bedroom located in Hundargad.
A handsome blonde young man was harassing a woman. Her young man let out a lewd voice as he slipped his hand under the hem of her dress and buried his nose in the crook of her neck.
“Your skin is soft, hehehe.”
“Don’t do this.”
The woman cried and tried to push the young man’s hand away. But she stopped gesturing at the words that followed.
“Hehe, your family won’t be safe if you offend my feelings, Lady Baron Guilleette?”
The woman’s resistance quieted down. She bit her lip with a humiliated look on her face. The young man’s hands began to move closer and closer to the woman’s private parts.
“Huh… … .”
Feeling miserable, Guillenette closed her eyes. She was born as the daughter of a noble family and maintained her modesty. When she thought that her chastity, which she had cherished so dearly, would be taken away by such a scoundrel, she burst into tears.
It was three days ago that this blond-haired young man appeared at Chetas Baron.
Introducing himself as the wizard of the Tower of the Sun, the young man surprisingly boasted that he would defeat King Reppenhardt if he was paid 10,000 gold coins.
Naturally, Baron Chetas did not believe it at first. A man you’ve never heard of appears out of nowhere, treats the famous King of Power like a bastard, and demands a large sum of money. There’s no way you can trust him.
However, this unidentified young man possessed truly terrifying power.
With a simple gesture, thirty knights of Chetas fell at the same time, and the ensuing magic power cut the huge stone tower of Hundargad like cheese.

Baron Chetas, seeing that enormous power, immediately changed his face. He greeted the young man politely and treated him as the most honored guest.
But this young man was truly an asshole.
Demanding huge compensation, he sat in the throne of Baron Chetas and behaved as he pleased, harassing the maids and manipulating the servants. The servants were beaten to death even if they spoke back, and the maids with fair faces were dragged straight to the bed.
Since the family’s safety was at stake, there was no one who could stop him as Anhamuinro. And now even his Baroness, Guilleette, has started to get involved.
“Tsk tsk tsk, well-bred bitches smell different from lowly things.”
The young man, smiling sinisterly, was about to undo Guillenette’s clothes.
Someone knocked on the door outside. Next, the servant’s voice was heard.
“Jade, Baron Chetas has arrived.”
“Tch, the atmosphere is so good, but you’re hitting the candles… … .”
Soon the door opened and Baron Chetas came inside. Guilleette hurried out of the room, covering his chest. The Baron’s expression hardened as he saw his daughter running away sobbing.
‘How dare the author attack my daughter?’
But what’s disappointing now is the Baron. He clenched his fists, holding back the scream that was about to escape. And he shouted in an urgent voice.
“Wizard Jade! “King Gwon is finally coming here!”
Jade looked away, twisting her golden hair with her fingers.
“is it? “Then I guess we should hurry up and collect 30,000 gold coins?”
Seeing his calm attitude, Baron Chetas gritted his teeth and gestured behind his back. Two servants entered the room, whining and carrying two wooden chests.
cried the Baron, pointing to the chest.
“Now, this is the gold you wanted!”
The chest was full of yellow gold coins. Jade brightened her eyes.
“Hoo? Have you already collected it? They say Baron Chetas is a wealthy man… … .”
The Baron asked as if he wanted to receive a promise.
“Is it really possible to defeat King Reppenhardt?”
Thirty thousand gold coins was not a small amount of money even for the famously wealthy Baron Chetas. This is a huge amount of money, equivalent to several years’ worth of budget. I was able to raise money by mobilizing all my cash and selling my art and jewelry.
But if I could really kill the King with this, it wouldn’t be a waste. If we lose this war anyway, won’t we lose everything?
“of course.”
Nodding calmly, Jade answered confidently.
“He is nothing before the great power of magic.”
Two servants placed the chest next to Jade and stepped back. Baron Chetas spoke again as he left the room.
“The enemy will reach Hundargad by tomorrow. “Except for King Kwon and Shinwol’s swordsman, the rest are a ragtag bunch, so I hope you take care of them!”
“Leave it to me.”
Then, as if relieved, Baron Chetas left the room. When the Baron’s appearance disappeared, Jade took out a small emblem. He shrugged his shoulders as he touched the silver emblem with various divine beasts elaborately crafted between the giant trees.
“He’s a bastard who has to be killed anyway because of orders… … .”
I put the emblem back in my pocket and this time took out a small pouch. It was a relic of the Silver Age, an infinite pouch. Jade laughed as she put all the gold coins in the chest into it.
“Now that you have identified your weaknesses, enjoy what you enjoy and take care of what you need to take care of. “Hehehe.”
☆ ☆ ☆
The combined Antares-Galin forces crossed the Nedas Gorge and reached Hundargad, the capital of Baron Chetas, in one day. The Allied forces who had established a position immediately surrounded the castle and launched an all-out offensive. Archers fired arrows at the castle one after another, and catapults fired rocks at the castle walls one after another.
“First shot, fire!”
Hwii… … .
Quaaaang!
A huge rock struck the walls of Hundargad, shaking the earth. The commander, Gallin’s knight, Grosten, shouted again.
“Second round, fire!”
This time, perhaps because the angle was a little high, the catapulted rock hit the troops above the castle wall. The soldiers crushed by the rocks screamed and died.
In the meantime, soldiers carrying ladders and hook ropes rushed to the bottom of the castle wall and prepared to climb up. Hundargaard’s soldiers also counterattacked hard, cutting ropes and pouring boiling oil on them.
It was truly a full-scale siege that had already surpassed the level of a territory war.
In the first place, territory wars do not go to extreme situations like this. When the outcome is somewhat divided, the king or a high-ranking noble will intervene, and the losing side will pay an appropriate amount of compensation and end the battle.
But this time things were different.
It was a war that was started from the beginning, ignoring even the king’s mediation. There is a troubling sin, and there is no way that Yubel II will intervene now.
And Baron Chetas launched an all-out war with the intention of completely annihilating Baron Galin. He cruelly trampled not only the knights but also the citizens of Galin’s territory. The stage for mediation has already passed.
Now that we’ve come this far, this war will never end before one of the two families disappears from the map.
Sir Grosten shouted, encouraging the soldiers.
“attack! Attack!”
