Smith had killed most of the elves, but the city was really huge so a lot of elves escaped.
Which wasn't really bad as the closest other elven village/city was hundreds of kilometers away from here, or even farther.
Obviously the hunt for elves didn't stop but Smith didn't care for the elves who we're hiding in their home's or running away.
He wanted to know if the elven priest was dead.
So he headed back towards the cathedral.
There he could see the aftermath of a big battle, ice had formed around the front of the cathedral, ice spikes could also be seen with some of the elven guards impaled on them.
He also saw some ash getting swepped away by the wind. And eventually he could see wooden spikes and collums of plants on the side of the cathedral.
He also saw Cyrus holding the side of his arm as it was bleeding and not far away from him stood Izotz, and in front of him an ice block with the elven priest inside could be seen.
Smith transformed back in to his humanoid form.
"so is he dead or?"
Izotz and Cyrus turned towards Smith. "he is dead we weren't planning on taking him hostage."
"and how many elves did you get to kill while we were busy with killing this one." Cyrus asked.
Smith looked at the messages he had previously ignored.
[low elf (lvl 1-10)killed] x9364
[exp 28'092'000]
[low elf (lvl 11-20)killed] x3268
[exp 16'340'000]
[total elf's killed 12'632]
[lvl 63 - > 69]
[bloodlust skill leveld up, new species added]
"twelve thousand, six hundred thirty-two"
Cyrus eyes went wide, "Hahahah amazing."

5 minutes earlier
...
Slowly 2 eyes started to open, 'I've finally absorbed the core-'
Suddenly the nostrils of the creature picked up a thick scent of blood.
It slowly unroled itself from its sleeping posture, and set it's claws in the tree next to it.
'hm my wings are finally healed.'
It started to quickly pull himself up in the tree, until it was high enough to get in the air, it then jumped up in the air using a bit of wind mana.
It then spreaded it's wings and headed towards the scent of blood.
Not much later the creature arrived at the edge of the elven city.
It's eyes started to scan the city, a few seconds later it's eyes landed on the open area near the cathedral, there it could see a small drake walking towards the cathedral leaving behind a trail of blood.
It could also see a lot of elven bodies lying on the ground.
'pff stupid creatures, let's see if that stupid elf is still alive.'
It then slowly flew forward to the open area in front of the cathedral.
...
Cyrus and Izotz were now talking about how Smith had killed so many elves.
But a few seconds later they both stood on edge as they felt a strong presence heading there way.
Smith and the two others quickly walked towards the front of the cathedral, when they looked in the sky they could see the wyvren that Smith had talked about. It was coming right towards them.
A few seconds later it landed not that far away from them, the wyvren gave off a certain pressure, Cyrus and Izotz both didn't seem to like it as their faces contorted a bit.
The wyvren then spoke. "hey, you three, is that elf with the wite cloth still alive?"
Both Cyrus and Izotz looked at each other but before they could say a word they heard Smith talking.
"you mean the priest, yes, he is dead."
The three of them could hear a sigh escape from the wyvrens mouth.
"okay, then my business here is done."
It then spreaded it's wings and took of in to the sky.
-"what the fuck just happened" - Izotz said.
-"well as the boss said, wyvrens don't really stick their noses into other species their business." -
...
Not much later the Paraginions were called back.
Eighty of them were told to occupy the cathedral and to take sixteen of the carriages and unload them.
The other four carriages would be used to travel back to the base and to call for the second invasion troop which was much larger.
Smith would stay behind and keep order over the seventy-nine other lizards and Cyrus and Izotz would head back to base.
Cyrus would then lead the second invasion troop towards the occupied elven city, and Izotz would stay behind and take control over the Paraginion city.
...
A month and a half later Cyrus arrived with the second invasion troop existing out of two thousand highly trained Paraginions.
In the time that the two elites had left, Smith hadn't really done much, he just basically rested for over a month and it started to really irritate him.
So he sometimes went on hunts. Hunting the elves that tried to live outside of the city or that we're still hiding in the city, but he quickly became bored.
So he just waited for the second invasion troop.
And then they finally arrived.
The eighty Paraginions that were stationed in the city got swapped out with a hundred other Paraginions.
And after a few days they set off, not much later they stood in front of the raging river.
They quickly cut down 2 trees next to each other and then made a bridge out of them.
And after a few days of work they could safely pass the river with their supplies.
They then quickly took over the low gaints territory and set up camp.
Smith then went to talk about what he knew about the region with Cyrus.
Their plan of action would be to first take over the Fort, or castle that stood a the border between the human kingdom and the low gaint territory.
And then they would slowly conquer the rest of the human kingdom.
