Isekai For My Ex - 100 The Onslaugh
No matter how damaged they were, the slaves still looked beautiful except from all the scars in their bodies, it was the trait of us female elves, and the reason why dark-elves hunted us for their reproduction or to make us their playthings.
“Everyone! This is the Free Elves Forces, we have come to take you back, please get out of here immediately the dark-elves will be eradicated. They will pay for their sins, for what they did to you! So come with me!”
I reached out my hand, and they looked at me with those pitiful eyes of theirs.
They slowly stood up…
But they were afraid to take a step forward.
Maybe their suffering was so great it was hard to trust anyone anymore
Their feet were in pain, their legs were all bruised, they just stood looking at me emotionless, none of them spoke.
How can their fear surpass their desire for freedom?
As I thought of this, I felt my chest hurting as I looked at them in front of my eyes.
“Please! Come with me! You don’t want to suffer anymore, right?
Please! Sorry for not being there for you when you needed us the most! Sorry! The Free Elven Forces instead of saving our people have been focused on preserving its forces… but we couldn’t do anything about it!
They were too strong even for us! We had forward camps and everything, but they keep destroying everything we built.
The terror, the fear… it was a horrible nightmare.
But someone has given us hope! Which is why we are certain, this time we can protect you… so… so… please”
I didn’t notice… that I was crying my heart out to convince them to go with me.
Maybe unconsciously as a soldier of an elven kingdom before I joined the resistance, I had this goal of saving the elves who have been enslaved, and helping those that were oppressed.
However, the days at the resistance were so frustrating…
We were never able to rescue our people, all we could do was run and keep the resistance from crumbling… and suddenly this man appeared and this day came…
Being focused on saving ourselves we had forgotten them, and now they couldn’t take a step to be saved.
They didn’t want to be given hope.
They are afraid for it to be crushed later on.
I don’t have any right… to tell them that we can protect them
Because it’s not our own power… that brought us here.
As I tears fell in my eyes as my heart hurt for the female elves in front of me, I felt someone clasping my hand.
They were gentle but shaking hands…
When I faced her, she was a beautiful-looking elf, her eyes looked tired, and her body was way more bruised than the others showing that he might be the dark-elves favorite.
However, she was able to smile as she consoled me.
“Okay… let’s go.”
It was a peaceful and happy smile, even though how battered she was, with the tip of one of her ears cut, with her short hair messed up, with the cuts and burns on her skin.
This woman… has she been protecting them?
I nodded, and she looked back.
“Everyone! We have help! Let’s run! Fast!”
They listened to her immediately.
With her words the female elves took action and ran towards Valeri who waited on the other side of the aisle formed by the treants to hide the escape.
The last one to escape was she, and they left me in a daze on how easily they followed her.
“What are you moping there for? Aren’t you also going to escape?”
She looked at me with her tired eyes as she held out her hand to me as she entered the treant isle that I made.
I came back to my senses, and immediately followed them. The treants in my bidding alternately moved around each other to hide us as we escaped, the treants surrounded me and Valeri and the fifty female elves that we had found.
The others also saved the other female elves on some other huts.
We ran and ran, covered by my friends there — the treants hiding us until we reached the other side of the hill.
There, another unit was to take the hostages to safety.
I returned to the position where Slaine was lifted by Eagle and there the black bird Raven was standing on a log.
“Raven, evacuation of hostages is a success!”
With my words, Raven momentarily looked at me and flew.
The bombardments continued however in the end we were only 10 squads, our mana and firepower wouldn’t be enough, And they are noticing as well…
Which leads us to the next step.
The star of the show, to end this once and for all.
Raven returned to me and landed at my shoulder, and he imitated eagle’s screech but a short one.
It was the retreat order that came from Slaine where Raven flew from.
We passed on the message through the communicators and everyone moved back to the retreat point, not so far and not so near as he also gave an order to capture any dark-elves that will escape.
The reason why the dark-elves we bombardment were still alive was because they had commanders with them who could nullify our attacks.
But they will be no match for what’s coming next.
From our retreat point, we saw the man hovering with the wings of the bird called Eagle.
And his weapon shot three projectiles at the skies.
Then we saw three magic circles, representing wind, water, and ice.
Just like his other spells it layered with each other, but this time it condensed with the clouds which got darker.
And then he flew outside of the clouds range which was on top of the whole camp, as if he anticipated that the cloud will be there at the certain time.
When he was outside the clouds, he looked back at the dark-elves who were brave enough to chase him by running on land, and there he muttered the name of the spell.
[“Hailstorm”]
Rocks of ice that can only be seen in the north of the continent appeared from those clouds as they heavily dropped into what’s left of the more than 500 dark-elves we encountered, the ice balls were so heavy that they tore the huts apart, leaving holes with their shape, and when a dark-elf was hit it would create a big hole in its chest.
This rain of ice rocks didn’t stop and he would shoot a certain land-based magic circle to where he wanted the rocks to fall from.
“So this is how he defeats them… ”
Everyone stood agape, as the dark-elves scattered but were hit in their heads and their stomachs, creating holes everywhere on their bodies.
In a few minutes, after the onslaught, the clouds cleared up, and the sun finally appeared.
The once busy dark-elf camp was now a desolate place full with dark-elf bodies, and some who were lucky to be saved by their luck have been captured, and they will be taken to Slaine’s quarters as soon as possible.
