Isekai For My Ex 47 AS THEIR ENEMIES MULTIPLIED

Michaela and the others looked at Andrei as he pumped his hand that to the air, with this the men who have just passed his test did the same. They all did this as they screamed their triumph.

"That was an awesome speech Andrei your highness" Erneis spoke as he wiped the tears that welled upon his eyes, "𝐼 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑏𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑙𝑑, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑐ℎ... 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑜 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠, 𝑖𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑒." Remembering that he was with the queen, he quickly fixed himself, bowed and spoke to Michaela. "With this, we have completed the first stage of the key to our success in the battle Your Highness."

"Yes, you're right… and all of that, so quickly," Michael leaned to the veranda and rested her chin on her palm, her eyes anchored to her beloved only, "𝐼𝑡'𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑠𝑜 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑎𝑏𝑖𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡, 𝐼 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑒𝑛, 𝑦𝑒𝑡 𝐼 𝑑𝑖𝑑𝑛'𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑢𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑜 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡.

"To think he can rile them up just like that, it's the first time I've heard such a speech," Rara said quietly as she put her hand on her chest, it couldn't be denied that she was also deeply moved with his words because it was their country that fell down first, her heart ached when she thought about her father and the people she left behind, since the beginning, even though indirectly, it was Andrei who saved her and her people.

As the wind blew her silver hair to the side, her eyes were anchored to him, within her red eyes she saw him as her ray of hope.

Without everyone noticing, Claire already headed back to the castle and wasn't in a good mood. Because it was she who could only understand the hidden pain behind Andrei's words.

…

At Kydus, the whole country was filled with all kinds of atrocities, with the gates closed no one was able to get out, not the poor and not the rich, even the corrupt lord's riches became useless in the face of the enemy.

Because to the dark elves, the humans were no more than cattle, and they had the worst hobby, using the adult male's body, they would make fun of the fragile humans in their eyes. They burned babies as sacrifices in front of their mothers, for the elderly they toyed with them, cut them and disposed of them in the most horrible way.

"No! Not my baby!" The women screamed as they try to reach out for their children being tossed into the fire, however, the men who did it didn't utter a word, however, within them the dark elves that possessed them laughed hysterically.

They made a game of young men and women, they would let them go on purpose, and use their dark magic to hit them. For them, young men and women are the most agile and the perfect way to use them was for moving target practice, as they discovered that their dark magic lacked accuracy in the last battle.

The lords who had a large number of knights who didn't know the situation was swiftly dealt with and their dead bodies were brought to the sacrificial altar where they burned babies as the sacrifice for the ritual that invites their kind to the dead man's body, the more time passed the more dark elves invited their kind into a man's body.

Their spirits inside men reflected their very image, they had pointy ears, a dark complexion, long tongue, and their faces were filled with all kinds of deformities, most of them had bulging eyes, a mouth with sharp teeth, however, each of them had their own deformities; some lacked noses or had never-ending pimples in their faces with bugs eating on it.

At the top of their makeshift altar, the emperor's body stood, within his dead body was the dark elves shaman, she looked different from her kind, even though she had a dark complexion, her face was beautiful, with her purple hair that reached to the ground.

She sang as the babies burned beneath her, while their mothers cried, offering them to her gods, and in exchange for it was the magic to call the spirit of her kind, so that it may dwell on men's bodies and hearts.

…

Meanwhile, on Ethareri, Andrei with his platoon started doing drills, every day, early in the morning they would jog together around town, and do all physical drills to strengthen them more as a team and promote coordination between them. They trained intensively that anyone who sees them knew that they were dead serious.

Unlike the knights of Rara and Michaela who trained together with their swords and magic on the training grounds, with the shortage of space and resources, Andrei and his platoon used everything they could get their hands on for training, wood, ropes, and even mud, for space they used the northern forest of Ethareri, it was a vast forest that overlooked the sea, Erneis was surprised on Andrei's request to use such an are for training.

In the afternoon they would practice with their guns, where Andrei taught them the basic handling, how to shoot, and other drills that made the slow loading guns effective.

Under the guise of the northern forest of Ethareri, gunshots echoed throughout the woods.

"Squad 1 and 2, shoot! Squad 3 and 4 get ready to take over and shoot on my command," Andrei commanded, because of the slow loading time, Andrei had the squads alternate with each other that made successive fire.

"𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘳!" they spoke it in the English language which was unfamiliar to them, for Andrei it was a good code so that the enemy wouldn't know what it means.

"Squad 5 and 6 crawl! Crawl! Crawl! Spread around towards the enemy! Don't make a sound! They'll notice and kill you!"

"𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘳!"

They all took Andrei's command seriously, having big and muscular bodies already, there was nothing that they couldn't do even while carrying the heavy guns and weights at their back.

"Squad 7 and 8, where's the gunpowder supply! Don't take too long or the enemy's large swords will tear us apart!"

"𝘠𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘪𝘳!" the squad leader shouted back.

"Squad 9 and 10, ready your bayonets and onto me!" and they dashed towards the makeshift enemy made from sacks of sand, when they reached a good distance they practiced slashing, piercing and evading as if their enemy made a counter-attack.

Andrei also wanted them to prepare to fight at close encounters, as such he also taught them how to fight using their gun bayonets, with Rara's magic that strengthens material together and Claire's metal magic, they were able to attach small swords to the gun.

On Andrei's request, which Geraldine treated as a command, the members of the makeshift group that were commanded by Andrei who were servants, maids and butlers, were placed on her command; they were also the people who made the BC's.

Being enlisted, after their shift in bomb-making, they would practice drills, wear camouflage as they practice to set the bombs under their enemies' noses unnoticed.

As their enemies multiplied, the coalition forces didn't waste a single minute, in preparation to save their fellow humankind.
