I Have Transferred to the Worst Labyrinth in Another World - Chapter 144
144 – Elves and Dark Elves – 9
“Enter Group 1. Report the situation.”
“Okay.”
Elderheim, home of the Dark Elves.
This is a place where the oldest trees in the forest of the World Tree are gathered, and there were also trees older than the current World Tree.
In a corner of Elderheim, a reconnaissance party composed entirely of pure-blooded elves was watching the movements of the Dark Elves.
“The Dark Elves seem to be preparing for war. It looks like they’re trying to get Claude back.”
“An obvious move. As expected, you are a dark elf who only knows how to fight.”
The female elf who led the reconnaissance party gave the following order to her men with a smile of repentance.
“Check closer. Activate all stealth magic.”
“” “Yes!” “”
The Elves of the scouting team at the same time infused mana by holding green jewels in their hands.
Then the figures of the elves swayed and soon began to become more and more transparent.
The shadow stone.
This is a one-time item that makes the body transparent for a short period of time when used.
It was very expensive due to its rarity, but it could be obtained in large quantities at a national level.
“Enter.”
The patrols followed her footsteps, keeping silent at the command of the captain.
The elven scouting party was different from the general kingdom’s scouting party.
Basically, they were elite soldiers with at least level 40 or higher, training hard from a young age, and were patriotic enough to commit suicide without hesitation if caught by the enemy.
“Ugh…!”
“Hey!”
In an instant, the scouts who killed the two Dark Elf guards who were guarding the surroundings quickly rushed into the enemy camp to examine the situation.
‘Dark Elf soldiers are surprisingly few in number. The question is… Are they knights?’
The female elf, the leader of the reconnaissance team, clicked her tongue as she looked at the dark elves roaming around her in black armor.
Basically, normal soldiers were not very important to the low number of Dark Elves.
Their greatest strength is the Dark Elf Knights.
The Knights of the Hyperion Empire, which are said to be the strongest in the Central Continent, have an average level of 35-40, while the Dark Elf Knights have a minimum estimated level of 45.
In terms of quality, it was at a higher level than the Empire, the strongest country on the continent.
‘Roughly… Will it be close to 1000 people?’
According to Emilia, the current commander-in-chief of the elves, the total number of Dark Elf Knights is between 800 and 1200.
Of course, this is inaccurate information, but the commander of the reconnaissance team firmly believed in Emilia. Because she had received patriotic education from a young age, there was no doubt about Emilia, her princess and commander-in-chief.

Senior Power
Unconfirmed
No More Danger
The reconnaissance team coordinated their intentions through their own autographs.
‘More than this is dangerous. If I make a mistake and meet a guy with the power of observation, I could be annihilated.’
The current place where the scouts are located is in the middle of enemy lines, and if stealth is lost, they will surely be annihilated.
So the commander of the reconnaissance team was satisfied with this level of achievement and decided to retreat.
Iman
Go back
The captain, who gave the last sign, quietly took his foot back.
But at that moment.
“The rats are here.”
“?!”
“Bite it.”
An ominous energy emanated from the backs of the scouts.
***
“…Strange.”
“What?”
“The scouts are too late.”
At the beginning of Elderheim, Emilia, who led the vanguard made up of only the elite of the elves there, stared somewhere at her with a worried expression on her face.
“Have you ever been caught?”
“That can’t be the case… All members were given shadow stones, and the commander is an elf who is known for being prudent. There’s no way he could have been caught.”
“…Hmm…What do you think, you’re just going to crash anyway?”
“..It would be nice to be peaceful.”
There seemed to be some trouble, but the plan itself went smoothly.
The Knights Templars, accompanied by the saintess, were on the side of the Holy Kingdom, and in my case, I was in a state of covering my face with a hooded cape in case I would be bothered.
Perhaps the only people who know my face here are Emilia, the saintess, and the four great knights escorting the saintess.
“…It can’t be helped. Now that the time has come, I will move the troops. Didn’t you ask her mother for something else?”
“Uh, I’ll probably fall in the middle.”
“Okay. Let me refer you to it.”
With those words, Emilia turned around and stood in front of the soldiers preparing for battle.
“Everyone participates! Eat your heart out!”
Along with Emilia’s booming voice, the feet of her soldiers began to move.
Kung-! Thud-!
The entire forest of elves vibrated with the sound of their advance.
The ground began to shake as beings who could be recognized as strong by the standards of the Central Continent spewed out mana all at once.
“The goal is to subdue the Dark Elves! Second best is annihilation!”
Emilia, like the soldiers she led, erupted intense mana and prepared for battle.
Since they have already reached the beginning of Elderheim, they must have decided that hiding their troops from the Dark Elves was pointless.
“…Certainly, the strength of the elves is amazing. Power so strong that the earth trembles…”
“This, too, has been greatly reduced due to the last war, saintess.”
Hearing the saintess’ admiration for her, Emilia, who was in a good mood, showed her bright smile.
“But my Guardian Knights are also formidable?”
“Of course. Aren’t they famous knights on the continent? The Elf country is closed, but I know that much.”
“It’s an honor.”
‘What are these?’
After having such a war of nerves with the elven queen, Bianca, how are you getting along with her daughter, Emilia?
Come to think of it, Bianca, the queen of elves, showed signs of hating her holy kingdom, but the other elves had a different mood.
Look. Aren’t the elite elven knights now ready to fight all looking at Cecilia with envy?
“…Emilia.”
“Why is that?”
“Wasn’t the Elf Nation not on good terms with the Sacred Nation?”
“It couldn’t have been. Prior to that, all countries, except for the demon country, are in friendship with the Holy Nation.”
From noble mtl dot com
“For things like that, your mother doesn’t seem to like it.”
“My mother does have that side, though. I don’t know why either. However, other elves are different. Basically, what kind of people would hate the reinforcements that came to help their country? Besides, the holy woman, the main force of the Holy Nation, even came in person.”
…I heard that, right?
The Sacred Kingdom sent reinforcements to help the Elves. And that, too, the main force, the saintess.
Of course, he will receive a reasonable reward for that, but that is natural. Isn’t give and take a natural step in a country that basically pursues profit?
‘It just seems Bianca doesn’t like it.’
Veronica and older people seem to hate religious people.
By the way, I hate saints. No, she doesn’t hate it, she just wants to avoid it.
“At this rate, it will arrive in 3 hours.”
“So fast?”
“Look at the speed of the march. It is made up of only the most elite soldiers, but even this much is slow.”
Convinced.
Come to think of it, most of the guys here are over level 40, right? Some even made a 3rd job change.
“Hmm…I see. Then I’m off to my solo activities.”
“..Isn’t it a bit early?”
“I just want to go and check it out first, to look for the elven scouts you mentioned or something.”
“…I see.”
After saying that, I flew up into the sky using [Psychokinesis].
But at that moment, the wind blew through the trees and the hooded cloak came off, revealing my face in front of the soldiers.
“?!”
“Ai-san…What, it doesn’t matter.”
After confirming that the hood was off, I quickly covered my head again and soared higher into the sky.
Without noticing that one of the members of the Saint’s Guardian Knights was behaving strangely.

“The white elves and the saint will come soon. Cliff.”
“…For entering the lion’s mouth on their own…They seem to be less fallen.”
A large palace located in the center of Elderheim.
There, a man with a height of over 190 and darker skin than a normal dark elf sat on a splendid throne.
The man’s name is Cliff.
The lord of the Dark Elves, he was one of the hidden transcendentalists who passed the 90th level.
“But there is a strange one.”
“…Weird guy? Who is it?”
“I don’t know if it’s an elf or a human because it’s wearing a hooded cloak, but it’s said to have quite strong energy.”
“….No need to worry. No matter how strong they are, they are just food to me.”
Cliff slowly rose from his throne and walked forward.
“…Before that, we should take care of these things.”
“Eup..!!”
In front of Cliff, surprisingly, there were elven scouts who were restrained and tied to magic restraints.
The leader of the scouting party, an elf woman, glared at Cliff with her gag bitten, her fangs sticking out. Cliff put his hand on top of her head while smiling as if the elf woman was funny.
“Eup!!”
“Eat it away.”
“Eww?!”
At that moment, an ominous, dark energy emanated from Cliff’s hand, which was holding the woman’s head, and began to cover her entire head.
“Uh… Ugh…!”
“It tastes pretty good.”
“Eup….Uh-eup..Eup…”
Chuuk…
After about 10 seconds, the female elf’s body began to lose strength, and her body collapsed within seconds.
“Next…You will be fine.”
“Eup..!!”
“Oops, maybe it’s because you’re gagged, it seems like you don’t have enough taste to listen to. Come on, get these muzzles off.”
“Okay, Mr. Cliff.”
For about two hours, screams continued in the palace, and a lot of ominous mana came out.
However, no Dark Elves questioned this.
Nobody.
