Chapter 107.1: On the Day Spring Arrives (2)
“Save Olivia too!”
Marquis McLoud cried out.
Amidst the pouring elven arrows, Cain turned to look at him.
He was holding a black shield that Oleciren had created with ‘miracle.’
Clang—!
And he was holding up better than expected.
“That child must wake up first for things to go the way you want them to!”
McLoud added hurriedly.
Cain wondered if he was speaking out of genuine desire to help, rather than personal greed.
‘He’s not wrong.’
In truth, Cain wanted Olivia dead here. Oleciren was a decent heir to the throne, but in Cain’s eyes, Olivia was more than that.
Scheming, cunning, authority, charisma.
She lacked nothing but legitimacy. Her disappearance would be more beneficial for the future.
When Cain remained indifferent, Marquis McLoud spoke to Oleciren, who was preparing a ‘miracle’ to awaken everyone.
“What will you do if the expeditionary force awakens? They won’t listen to the First Princess immediately.”
Thud—
Oleciren tapped the ‘Headbreaker’ hanging on her back.
It was a weapon symbolizing the royal authority, implying that they would obey orders given with it.
However, Marquis McLoud shook his head.
“That’s true, but it won’t work here. The chain of command is different since they were brought from two marquisates, and their original commander is Olivia.”
She gazed at Marquis McLoud’s face.
Gulp—
Even McLoud, who had experienced countless battles, even against elves, felt small under Oleciren’s gaze, as clear as the night sky.
Tightly—
“They won’t recognize the ‘Headbreaker’ immediately and obey. If it were the original commander’s order, they would move reflexively as trained.”
It might be possible under normal circumstances, but this was a battlefield.
They didn’t know when the main elven force would arrive, and their allies were all floundering within the illusion Glumiêm had created.
Even in ordinary cases, people often confuse reality with dreams after waking up.
The confusion would be even worse with an illusion created by the Elven Queen herself.
“I was the last to resist, but even I couldn’t react for a moment after waking up.”
Oleciren had witnessed Cain restoring Hybolt’s mind with lightning.
She realized that while her ‘miracle’ was wide-ranging, it couldn’t be as effective as Cain’s.
Marquis McLoud added urgently,
“But the knights will obey Olivia’s voice.”
They wouldn’t recognize the ‘Headbreaker’ immediately after waking up.
However, they would naturally follow Olivia’s orders.
She opened her mouth.
“I trust you, Lord Marquis.”
She instinctively knew that McLoud was telling the truth.
As they got closer to Glumiêm’s ‘Deep Forest,’ she gradually realized what she could do.
From the teleportation she had just shown to the general awakening she was preparing now.
One of them was the ability to discern truth from falsehood, which was why she could trust McLoud’s words.
“But would Olivia think the same as Lord Marquis?”
They could wake her up.
She could give her orders.
However, she didn’t know if she would wake up suddenly and move the expeditionary force at Oleciren’s word.
Thump!
Marquis McLoud struck his chest with his fist. He spoke to Oleciren with his characteristic sharp eyes.
“I’ll make sure she does, Your Highness.”
“…….”
The one who knew Olivia best in this situation was Oleciren, who had lived under the same roof.
Knowing the terrifying ambition Olivia possessed, it was difficult to accept his words unconditionally.
McLoud clenched his fists until they bled.
The embers of his heart, extinguished until now, flared up at Cain’s words.
“That’s what Cain said. No matter how much we fight, we unite when a greater enemy appears, because we are citizens of the same kingdom.”
Oleciren smiled faintly.
If it were the old Cain, he would have disregarded it and told them to die, but she liked that he had changed a little.
To be precise, she liked that he had become similar to her.
“No matter how different our paths are, we are one in front of the elves.”
“This is the one time I’m letting myself be deceived like this.”
McLoud smiled brightly.
Vanderbilt and Isoel, who were wielding their weapons as if protecting the two, were amazed and pleased that Airian was becoming one under the name of Airian.
—Marquis McLoud isn’t wrong.
Cain opened his eyes a little wider.
Oleciren’s voice reached him as if she were speaking right next to him.
Click, click—
Along with the faint sound of tiny gears turning.
—Marquis Ross can’t escape anyway, and for the five of us to escape this elven battlefield……
Oleciren trailed off.
Judging coldly, even with her buffs, it would be impossible without Cain.
And it would only be possible if Cain used the power he wielded while wearing the white crown and cloak, whose true nature she didn’t know.
She couldn’t bring herself to choose his sacrifice, as she didn’t know exactly what Cain was sacrificing each time.
—Anyway, save her if you can.
In that case, it would be best to do as McLoud said and have her wake up the expeditionary force and retreat.
Cain looked at Marquis Ross in the distance.
He raised his middle finger at him, who was looking at him as if appraising him from behind the elves’ fierce defense.
Turning his back on Marquis Ross, who was sneering, Cain scanned the battlefield.
‘The only good elf is a dead elf.’
The bodies of the expeditionary force rolled around like toys. It was a battlefield where life had no respect for life.
Among them was Olivia, a little further away, wearing slightly better armor than the other knights, and most importantly, with her gray hair sticking out from under her helmet.
Thud—
Cain kicked off the ground.
“Spirits!”
The elves instantly summoned a headwind using the wind spirits.
Amidst the resistance that could uproot even large trees, Cain raised Agweska.
Lo Meyer.
He mimicked Vanderbilt’s vertical slash.
Crackleeeeeeee—!
