The adjutant questioned the duke’s concerns.
“Maybe you thought that was enough? Looking at Antares’ history so far, their power has always produced results beyond numbers. In fact, if the Orc Riders had not prepared, they would have been able to handle several knights of the Holy Army alone. “I think they probably expected the same result this time.”
It was an understandable opinion. In fact, until now, the warriors of the different races of the Principality of Antares have always shown the strength of a hundred per pound.
“It may be possible, but considering Chancellor Karl’s resourcefulness, it seems unlikely.”
Duke Iranad had also heard about Antares’ Chancellor Karl. He is a resourceful person who shows genius abilities in all aspects of politics, economics, diplomacy, and military.
‘Wasn’t the Sage of Silver also stranded for a while because of that guy? I did a good job roasting and boiling each kingdom.’
Because he was Duke Iranad, a high-ranking noble of Grime and also a member of the Silver Sages and Sage Apectus, he did not downplay Carol’s existence. With all the skill he had shown so far, I could never have expected him to make such a foolish decision.
‘Furthermore, even that arrogant king said that he would unconditionally listen to whatever he said.’
Duke Iranad clutched the hilt of his sword and glared.
“There will definitely be reinforcements somewhere. It doesn’t make sense otherwise!”
“But you scouted all around here and didn’t find any troops? “After checking both the scouts and search wizards?”
“The remote slave race has many strange abilities that we still don’t know about.”
Duke Iranad looked serious as he carefully observed not only the battlefield situation but also the movements of the plateau and forest beyond.
“Considering the importance of this place, it would not be surprising at all if King Repenhardt himself appeared here right now. “You must never let down your guard!”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
The adjutant bowed his head respectfully. However, his expression still showed a look of incomprehension.
‘The duke is worried too much. What are the things that are worse than animals? … ‘Aren’t you overestimating it?’
It was right then.
In a low forest about 10 kilometers to the left of the battlefield, the forest shook all at once and a strange noise was heard.
Wooooow!
Numerous shadows arose in the shaking forest. The shadows simultaneously raised their arms to the sky and pulled out a demonstration.
A rain of arrows suddenly rains down on the back of the Shinsung Army’s main camp.
“Ugh?”
“Oops!”
“No, what on earth is happening!”
The panicked rear guard of the Shinseong Army becomes confused. In the midst of the chaos, only Duke Iranad kept his cool and had an expression on his face that said he knew it would happen.
“Wizard Hail! Identify your enemies!”
“Yes, Your Excellency!”
The wizard quickly cast a distant view spell and sent a video of the forest to the leadership.
An image of light appeared in the air. High in the trees of the forest, hundreds of slim men were seen holding bows.
They all have long, pointed ears and an incredibly beautiful appearance.
They were elves.
The adjutant’s eyes widened in surprise.
“what? “That place has already been scouted twice!”
Never neglected reconnaissance. In particular, that forest was right next to the battlefield, so it was the perfect place for Antares to ambush. Even wizards were mobilized to thoroughly prepare for an unexpected surprise attack.
Even now, observers floated by wizards above that forest are always monitoring troop movements.
But how could they come out of there?
“What happened, Wizard Hale? “Didn’t you launch an observer as instructed?”
The young wizard was embarrassed and struggled to protest.
“no! “I am still continuously operating Observer!”
“Then why are they over there!”
The wizard stammered with eyes full of resentment.
“Well, I don’t know. Obviously there wasn’t. There was no one… … Suddenly, hundreds of people appeared in the Observer as if they had been teleported… … I, I definitely cast the spell correctly, and I never made a mistake… … .”
A wizard becomes extremely confused when he sees something outside his knowledge. Ignoring the panicked wizard Hale, Duke Iranad gave an expression that he knew would happen.
“Yeah, I don’t know why, but they can do things like that.”
Another rain of arrows hit Shinsunggun. This time, everyone raised their shields and blocked properly, causing no human casualties. But the words were different. Warhorses hit by arrows here and there began to run wild. The knights who lost their precious warhorses were angry.
“What are they?”
“Things that should be done well at night are arrogantly throwing arrows!”
Still, most of the Holy Army did not suffer much damage from the rain of arrows. Because they are so heavily armed, arrows cannot inflict fatal wounds on them.
Instead, they launched a counterattack.
“Brain, Tajil, Knights of Antaniac! “Show them what they see!”
Eight hundred knights began running toward the forest as if they had been waiting. Duke Iranad, who had already anticipated this situation, had separately selected three of his knights and had them waiting in the rear.
The adjutant who was watching became angry.
“I am amazed at your foresight! Now, elves who used to shoot arrows from a safe place will no longer be your enemies!”
“Hmm, it would be easier if they came out like that… … .”
A surprise attack using arrows alone cannot effectively utilize the trick of an ambush. After disrupting them with arrows, they must fight head-on with melee units to disperse the ranks of the Holy Army, and only then will they be able to establish a siege network by linking up with the Antares Army at the front.
“There is no way that Chancellor Karl, who has been using slaves so well, will not use them properly.”
Indeed, as Duke Iranad predicted, as soon as he disturbed the enemy camp with arrows, the elves came running out of the forest.
Unlike the existing Antares army, they are all infantry and do not ride on vehicles, but their speed is frighteningly fast. It was hard to believe that he could run on two feet, and his rushing power was comparable to that of an Orc Scouter.
“Sylph, dwell in my body!”
“I place my feet in your wind!”
All of the elves had invisible vortexes wrapped around their bodies. By using the wind spirit Sylph, he lightened his body and increased his sprinting power.
The seven hundred elf army galloped forward like that, and at the head of it was a female general riding a reindeer of translucent light.
“Go, my people!”
An elf woman of incredible beauty, with purple hair blowing in the wind and a sharp sword with a dazzling silver gleam.
The moment he saw her, Duke Iranad, who had maintained his cool, got excited and stood up.
“That elf woman!”
The only elf auror user in existence.

And the woman who proved her strength by killing Sir Vasily Walgran and became the actual starting point of this war.
The reputation of that powerful elf auror user was already well known to humans. Even humans who looked down on her elves could not help but acknowledge this woman’s royal title.
Duke Iranad drew his sword with fighting spirit.
“The Snow Queen, Iniya!”
Chapter 48: The War of Superhumans
One
Running the reindeer made up of Aurors towards the enemy camp, Iniya scattered her swords in the air.
“Breath of the North Sea!”
Saaaaa!
A cold fog began to spread around her. Like a living creature with a will, the fog cleverly avoided the elves and covered the running knights.
“Ugh!”
“Huh!”
In an instant, the knights’ heavy armor froze with white frost. Due to the sudden cold, the horses’ movements slowed significantly and their charging momentum dropped significantly.
“Now! “My clan, my sisters!”
Iniya raised her sword and pointed it at the knights and shouted bravely.
“Exterminate them for Master Repenhardt!”
The purple-haired elf soldiers who were charging bravely looked dumbfounded for a moment.
‘It’s for the future of the elves, Chief.’
‘Are you blatantly taking care of your man?’
‘Well, her days as an old maid were long.’
In any case, the elves were already fully aware of the importance of this war.
Elves, who have a strong rational side, are not particularly swayed by emotions. Even though the men, each as big as a chieftain, openly called out his man’s name, they paid no heed and began to fight.
As the distance between the knights and the knights narrowed, each elf swung his sword and let out a sonorous voice.
“Take my hand, Rosia.”
“My friend, Shade. “Fight with me.”
The elves’ elemental magic is not activated with a roar filled with hot blood like the orcs’ spirit weapons. No matter how exciting the battle may be, you must treat spirits with love and friendship.
A beautiful spirit song rang out across the murky battlefield.
AA AA AA!
Since the ratio of men is still small, the elf troops are made up of mixed genders. In particular, the men have the same sleek appearance as the women, and the appearance of the elves who call the spirits with an appearance that does not match the battlefield is more creepy than beautiful.
The knights’ expressions hardened.
“Hey, these!”
“What are you trying to do!”
Spirit energy swirled from all directions, and hundreds of water spirit Rosia and dark spirit Shade were launched at the knights. Disrupting the opponent’s gaze with elemental magic, the elves attacked the horse knights all at once.
“Taaaat!”
All elves are light and agile. Even an elf woman who was raised only as a wrath and without any military training is a race so agile that she can make a sergeant jump of 2 meters.
Moreover, the Styria clan here are all masters of battle who have survived by fighting countless monsters in the harsh environment of the North Sea.
Most of the elf soldiers easily jumped onto the high horse mount. The knights also counterattacked, but instead attacked with agile movements and sat on the opponent’s back.
After taking control of one knight in an instant, Iniya’s lieutenant, Serpel, slit the opponent’s neck with a dagger.
“Eldia, forgive me!”
More than half of the knight’s neck was cut and blood was sprayed. The knight’s corpse falls to the ground, his half-severed head trembling.
Similar scenes occurred throughout the battlefield. Looking more like assassins than soldiers, the elves cut off the knight’s head and run around on horseback.
And the one who stands at the forefront is the Snow Queen, Iniya.
“The blade of the frozen ground!”
Sprays silver blade aura with a brilliant sword wind. She cut through the enemy lines, cutting down dozens of knights who charged at her in one fell swoop. The elves following the knights, whose formation was completely disorganized, were dealt with and shouted.
“Eldia!”
“For the future of elves!”
“And our chief, please get married quickly!”
The last command was somewhat unpleasant, but in any case, her clan did an excellent job of dispersing the rear of the Holy Army. Iniya, who was half-asleep, glanced over there, towards the unit led by Asreil and Hadatum.
‘What about over there?’
Due to Iniya’s participation in the war, the morale of the front line of the Holy Army was greatly shaken. The Antares army, which seemed to have been pushed back for a while, had gathered its momentum and was fighting back.
The Golden Knight Yussus was still scattering the light of Eldrill and destroying the allies with extensive destructive power, but other than that, the situation was tense.
Iniya sighed in relief as she stroked her chest.
‘Luckily it wasn’t too late, I was a little confused.’
