in the middle of the forest. both me and Tasha has finally home although we both exhausted in fight. we have some energy to walk.
after the gate has closed.
Tanya use her power and gather something in her hands.
it was the bird like spirits.
this spirits was the elves nature's guild, it's been a while since I saw her using those skills unlike the demon world.
spirits their was corrupted with evil and it attacks us everytime she use those skills.
when the spirit bird vanish in her hands. she gave a solemn expression causing me to frown a bit.
"what did you ask to the spirit?"
upon asking a question. tasha spoke with a sad face.
"i ask if their was any village near here but the spirits only said their is none. in fact, they are scared to go to the human settlement."
"huh? could it be that the demons finally invaded earth?"
although we killed the demon king. there are still some other demon kings in the demon world. each demon king owns it own world where he rules it. but looking at the untouched forest. I didn't think that the demon already invaded the world.
Tasha only shook her head and spoke.
"no, they say that the human use some kind of humanoid metallic creatures. more over this humanoid metallic creatures was killing other races."
"other races? what kind of races? if it's orc I can understand that but if other races such as beast man then it will be a huge problem."
although some races was allied to each other. the kingdoms of all races are greedy for territory.
most races such as beast kin always fought to humans to acquired territory but of course humans are not easy to be push and ends up in war.
most races are like this, but when danger comes they all sign a temporary pact which the gods will be the witness of vows.
if one vows was destroyed. the gods will retaliate the offended party until it will kill him.
most races was taking the vow seriously those but some people like humans destroyed those vow and end up getting a curse from the gods.
Tasha only sigh and said in low tone.
"I don't know what happened while we are not here but I think it's better if we find some locals. moreover, for some reason. my connection to the holy tree was weak."
"weak? those that mean we are too far away?"
"maybe but I highly doubt that the elders use some protective barrier."
"well if those guys use that barrier. I think it will be difficult for you to find them."
the nature's barrier was higher tier of protective spell. it can stop even the huge meteor but the problem was most elves from the outside will weaken there connection to the world tree.
if the barrier was up it has two guess. it's either someone was a threat to the kingdom or someone was trying to looking at their location.
"anyway Rudy are you going back to the holy kingdom?"
as I think this deeply, I shook my head and said.
"no, not yet. I think it's better to occupied you to your home just I case. beside that old man will be fine."
"I guess your right but we need to find a village here. the spirit bird can't tell but rather they are shaking."
"hmmm...."
as I thinking, a strange sound was coming from the sky. both of us became alert and we both hide in the bushes.
although it's loud, Tasha has sensitive ears making her to covered her ears.
as we stay vigilant. we say a huge metallic thing was coming pass by. although it was bigger that the wyvern unit. it was slower speed.
as it vanish from our eyesight. both of us look at each other.
"what was that?"
"I don't know but i thinking it's not made by dwarfs.
....
pov ?????
"captain we will reach out destination in five minutes."
upon reading the book I buy from the department store. I look at the window and look the large base on ground.
this base was use for military manufacturing such as steel knights and other stuff. as I look at my team, I couldn't help but smile a little bit.
"Lee sung what are you doing?"
"ahhhh it's nothing captain wait, captain stop....wait don't touch my belly... nooo...."
upon taking the camera on Lee sung's hand. she tried to take it back from me but she has a lot experience to take in order to beat me.
bang.
as I take her down. I freely sitting on her back as she struggled to break free. some of my team was chuckling while others felt pit to her.
"captain not fair."
as I check the photos on her camera. I couldn't help but spoke in surprised.
"oh? isn't this the Rookie from examination? could it be you like him?"
as I gave a teasing words. Lee sung suddenly blush and two of my men comrades spoke.
"what? the gorilla got in love to new recruit?"
"tsk, I pity him already."
"oi you two?! shut up?!"
as Lee sung was irritated to these two. the airship they riding on has finally landed. seeing this, I decided to stoop up and spoke seriously.
"let's go, the commander was waiting for us."
""Roger.""
when the door was open, the man who was in late 30's gave a salute with a serious face.
"welcome to uranium base captain Tina."
upon giving a salute back, I notice some of the officers was giving a salute back although I didn't look at them. I can feel there deep respect towards me.
"thank you lieutenant."
"please, colonel wants to talk to you as for you teams, the stuff has prepared your rooms."
as I left my team we ride the black SUV and when to commanding building.
most veteran soldiers was station in this base due to it's experimental weapons.
when arriving at the commanding room. multiple computers was used by soldiers but this time it's different.
I can see some anxious and also some even are running. looking at the colonel with a serious expression while looking at the computer. something must happened.
"colonel Doris, I brought the captain here are you ordered."
colonel Doris only glance at me but then his eyes when back to the monitor. when I look at the monitor. I couldn't help but twitch my lips as the two unknown people was looking outside in the monitor.
although enemy national was fine but what we saw was surprising.
"a elf?"
as I monologue my thoughts. the colonel suddenly ask.
"captain Tina, the reason I called you here was to make the mark 1 to be your sparing partner but I guess you have to sit this one out.
after he spoke, the other side of the monitor was a hatch open and revealing a humanoid metallic object.
"you elves really mess this time."
as the colonel gave a sinister smile, I couldn't help but sigh a bit.
....
pov Rudy
when the mysterious thing went to the west, we both decided to follow that mysterious thing. what we saw was very surprising.
the walls was made of metal while the guards was different from what I know.
they all carrying a strange weapons while most of their body parts was exposed such as face.
both of us was hiding on the trees as we look a the carriage that doesn't pull by horses.
"Tasha, I think we both are not in terraria continent."
as Tasha nodded, we both retreat back to the forces and set up a camp.
I took of my badly damage armor and look at it.
I can see so many damage in this armor and I couldn't help smiled bitter.
"tsk, Rolex will kill me for sure."
as I put my armor in my storage space, I took the spare armor and wear it. meanwhile, Tasha was busy cooking our meal while singing the elven song.
thank the gods that she was here otherwise I'll eating a raw meat.
as I sit in the other side of the fire. I then begin to ask.
"so how's your communication to the world tree?"
upon stop her cooking, she glance at me with a sad expression.
"unfortunately I couldn't contact them, how yours?"
"like you, I couldn't contact the church.... our only hope was to look for the nearest village and ask for a map."
"I guess that was the o-"
before she could continue, she suddenly look at the direction where the base was. I couldn't help but ask why then all of the sudden. I heard some small explosion.
"we got company."
"tsk, and I thought I could eat your cooking."
as I put my helmet and took the hammer. I became vigilant for our opponent.
