Isekai For My Ex

Chapter 109

[ 3 Hours Before the Landslide, Lyra POV ]

"General are you done yet?"

Slaine came being carried in the air by Eagle, the apple I just fetched him a few minutes ago was nowhere to be found.

Around me was General Conall and his men started digging around the slope, and in those holes, they placed the special rounded metals, Slaine gave them. Looking around many of those holes have already been placed.

Could this be the thing he and General Conall always does, that he gets to the quarters very late? Its impressive.

The more I looked around, the diggings looked like a new plantation field for rice and wheat.

However, 

"Put more charges on 30 degrees"

He told General Connal, who was also digging along with his men.

"Could it be… " 

General Connal had a strange expression on his face as he looked at Slaine. It"s the first time I saw the tight-lipped General Connal have that expression.

"Yes, exactly, I found the snake"s head, and they made it flashy gold for us"

Slaine then pa.s.sed by me as I carry raven at my arms and patted my head again as he said a few surprising words.

"Lyra… "

"What?"

"Your race"s counterattack starts today"

"Huh?"

Then, with his hand still on my head, he announced.

"Make sure to place those modified BC"s where the rock joints are, use it efficiently, I don"t have a supply for it anymore!

In 3 hours, an artificial landslide will occur straight to our enemies creeping after us, after that when they are in chaos and disarray we charge.

However, don"t get too c.o.c.ky to just head straight to them.

Their numbers are times larger than ours, that"s why in order to win you must follow orders from your superiors.

Then, just do it just like your training and per protocol.

I won"t say anything inspiring, as your leaders may have already told you lots of things.

However, there"s one thing I could say, I am here to bring you victory, however, such victory can only be achieved if you follow us your superiors who will be elading this battle.

Men, do you remember what is our mission?

Resistance?

No…

It"s extermination!

Extermination of the vermin that have sucked the life out of your plentiful land!

Vermin that made their way to your world and with their enormous number through their disgusting way of breeding, they outnumbered and defeated you, and you who were a defeated race, ran and ran until all that"s left of you is this mountain!

And what do we do with them? Again, exterminate them! ALL OF THEM!

Need no mercy to pests! Need nothing to talk with them, we don"t talk to animals!

You trample them! Crush them! Starting with their head!

Sprinkle some salt and let it die wriggling in pain!

That"s how this mission will be!

And I will do the honour of crus.h.i.+ng the head!"


The main force who formed ranks stayed silent as they listened with courage written on their faces, standing brightly in their green uniforms.

As no one was permitted to speak, by following the orders - they didn"t speak.

"Got it, men?"

With his question, they all responded in unison.

[["Sir yes sir!"]]

"Good answer!

That"s why I won"t let you look at the enemy that is climbing right now! Some of you might run when you see the enemy.

Also, I want you to know that the cave you retreated to will be used for this mission, it will be blown up, collapsed and will be unusable.

So running is not an option after all, even if you try to.

You"ll just greet the dark-elves and will be probably killed.

So if you"re so scared to even trust my word that we will win this, at least believe in the thought that its better to die for something than to die running for your own life.

So steel yourselves!

If you want to win, follow orders!"

The words that came out from his mouth, stuck fear into some soldiers, however at the same time, it inspired courage to some, driven into the corner with no option but to fight — Slaine have clearly made them realize the situation we are in much better, its an all-or-nothing situation.

After talking, Slaine then went beside General Conall as they looked at the enemy below.

Even I was not allowed to do this.

Does he really think I would run if I see the enemies below?

Here am I with a small unit, specifically a.s.sembled by Slaine, to carry his necessities and his strange gadgets., take care of his birds and to guard him at close quarters battle.

Makes sense, I haven"t seem him use a sword before, after all.

The main force then received their orders, and with this they divided themselves into four directions, meters away from general Conall"s men who were rigging something into the rocks.

We stayed in the same position until in three hours, Slaine gives the order.

"General Conall, it��s time… let"s blow it up"

"Yes sir"

And with Slaine"s signal, General Conall"s men got away from the rocks areas they have been digging from, taking a long and thin strings with them.

They grouped together near the main force and pa.s.sed on each of their string to the general.

"Lyra, is everyone within the point I designated? Make the final checks"

I immediately then checked the divisions on where they were standing at.

"East, North, West, and South… are at their designated positions. Everything is ready sir!"

Our friendly days are over, and at times like these he is my superior, so I have to take my job seriously as his second-in-command.

After checking with me who was at a higher elevation, he simply nodded and whistled calling for Eagle, who immediately swooped him down and carried him with his talons.

With this, just as planned I called for lady Allannia for Slaine"s request.

"Lady, Allannia, the barrier please."

Lady Allannia then closed her eyes in focus to summon her spirit, but this time she isn"t using it to deflect any kind of magic like he did before on the defensive war against the huge force the eastern forces sent to wipe-out our first hideout.

Instead of putting her hands in the air, this time she touched the ground with both of her hands and had the spirit dwell on it.

The spirit, answering to her call, strengthened the ground beneath us.

We felt the intensity of the spirit that dwelled beneath our feet.

Everyone who didn"t have any high-ranked spirit protection felt nauseous.

Including me.

But I still had a job to do, I pinched myself in the cheek and ran towards General Conall.

General Conall, the spirit summoning is a success, please do it!"

"Understood"

General Conall then with all his might in a quick motion pulled the strings in one go.

And right at that moment, sudden large blasts occurred so strongly that it made everyone cover their ears.

At the same time the ground was shaking after each and every explosion.

I myself was not an exception.

With the loud explosion, it made me immediately cover my ears.

"Slaine, what the h.e.l.l?"

I screamed as each explosion was so loud than I expected.

Slaine was nowhere to be found already moving on to his first adjective.

"To crush the head of the worm… huh?"

I muttered as I helplessly covered my ears.

"If I were more powerful would he have brought me with me?"

For some reason I felt sad, seeing the man I admire and believe in setting to the battlefield alone, and I his second-command, a weakling — no matter how many times he trained me I was still average at most. I also didn"t get most of his rumblings about how things work.

But I did get something… his life changing thoughts and views.

And those did change me the way I see things now.

Strategically, I am here in his place to continue his commands.

That"s why…

I shouldn"t feel down right now, I have been entrusted with a big role!

"Is it over?"

"Ahh… my ears hurt"

"What the h.e.l.l were those?"

Chatter can be heard from everywhere, knowing that the fearful blasts finally came to an end.

However what came next was more horrific than we thought.

The land besides the what we are standing on has eroded, it looked like as if the mountain started melting.

Debris and boulders started running, collapsing, and it rolled down the mountain.

"What"s next is… "

I then looked at the leaders were now at the vanguard, to lead the charge.

As expected, they truly are the leaders.

They rode in wood spirits that took the shape of a horse, as they were in front of the forces that faced the four directions of the slope

On the north was Lady Allannia is with high-elf Revalor, the two wore their full elven armor that shone like the sun, the same armor they wore when they were n.o.bles, at the east was the three fronts Generals Alwin and elf priest Sylvar, on the south was the elf-priest Revalor and General Bulas.

The communications and support units was evenly divided between the regiments.

While the children and elderly and those that couldn"t fight would support the realy in the so-called

"supply line" Slaine taught us about.

At this day, every single elf worked, for the sweet taste of victory.

And just as we were prepared, Slaine, just as he promised returned to us.

"Lyra… is that?"

"...yeeee..ahhh.. probably???"

Lady Allannia was and High-elf Revalor was left in agape.

"In an instant… in that chaos… Lady Allannia, how could he do something so easy?"

High-elf Revalor who couldn"t believe what he was seeing attempted to wipe his eyegla.s.ses when Lady Allannia stopped him.

"Don"t bother Revalor, I know that head… I can see it… clearly I… I can see it… but… how in the world?

He told us earlier he would crush the vermin"s head, I thought it"d be just to raise morale… but he did it… literally..."

"But contrary to our expectation he didn"t crush the head… he cut its head and brought it to us"

High-elf Revalor like a broken metalwork turned his head to me.

"Lyra, what the h.e.l.l is wrong with your commander?!"

"Ah.... ahaha"

I was only able to let out a fake laugh as even I couldn"t comprehend him anymore.

Slaine raised the enemy leaders head as he announced.

"THE HEAD HAS BEEN TAKEN! IT"S TIME TO CRUSH THE PESTS AND RAISE h.e.l.l! COMMENCE MISSION!"
