Chapter 10: The Defense of Uiru River | Part 1

The Uiru River, which flows south from the Sobiru mountains in the west, acted as the dividing line of Salma’s fringe territories.

The river intersected the highway that connected the Brainer territory to Larissa with a solid stone bridge. The former Nozan forts had been converted into guard stations for the soldiers that patrolled the highway.

Usually, the sheer size of the minimally staffed and renovated forts left them with a deserted atmosphere, but now the air was fraught with pre-war elation and irritation of the soldiers that filled the forts to the rafters.

It wasn’t just the soldiers originally assigned to the forts here, but also the reinforcements from Rhoden, the remainder of Brainer’s military and even a few elven soldiers. All were gathered here.

As for the elves, it wasn’t only the Canadian who were present: the elven warriors from Doranto, lead by elder Sergei and elder Iwaldo, were also here.

Since it was a rare occurrence actually to see an elven warrior, the humans were casting sideways glances at them. However, it wasn’t just the ears that caught their attention.

The beautiful female warriors amongst the elves certainly caught the attention of those accustomed to a male-dominated society, and that was partially responsible for the lack of tension one would expect before a battle against the undead that would determine humanity’s faith.

This unprecedented crisis caused by the undead army had caused the long disparate parties of this world, even the elves and beastman, to band together in a bid for survival.

Actions that may cause discord between mutual allies were strictly prohibited.

However, though no one dared to say it, most of the soldiers were aware of the difference in power between them and the elves.

Some were capable of unitizing transfer magic powerful enough to move supplies and troops in the blink of an eye, and others singlehandedly hunted monsters which required an entire unit to subdue. Although they’d heard rumors, this was the first time many of them were exposed to the difference between the elves and themselves.

One thing was for sure, those present at this battle would turn the other way if ordered to fight the elves.

While the governing bodies of humanity never imagined that the elves exceeded the might of both empires, it was clear that their attitude towards elvenkind would be changed from this point on.

You could see it in the way some of their superiors humbled themselves before the elves, despite their numbers not exceeding even one thousand people.

However, nobody publicly voiced any dissatisfaction.

The primary contributing factor to this atmosphere was stretching her wings in the courtyard in-between the two forts.

Dragon King Ferufivisurotte.…… one of the most powerful creatures in the world, whose legend was passed along through poem, plays and songs, opened her wings and flew into the sky.

Her majestic figure reached a length of eighty meters. No matter your status, no matter how brilliant you were, and no matter how brave you claimed to be… no one could remain calm in front of such an existence.
