Isekai For My Ex
/ Isekai For My Ex 99 Secure The Hostages
"Everyone! Let's match the timing of our firepower together!" I told them through the communicator as I gave out my command while holding her shoulder as my thoughts got passed through the other squads and their respective communicator..
"In three… two… one... deploy magic!"
[Boom!]
From our position the attackers concentrated their magic silently and fired, and there we saw it.
Our magic was shot concentrated into one target coming from different directions. It hit the camp and the dark-elves that gathered at the center to throw spells at Slaine, their formation reduced their numbers heavily.
"Ahhh!!! What the hell is this!"
"It's that scoundrel again! Commander!"
"I'll tear your limbs! Come down here and fight us!"
"We're getting shot from different directions! Is this possible?! He's just standing there doing nothing!"
"It's possible! He's the one who hunted down many divisions! We can't defeat him! Let's run!
The big explosion happened, and the dark-elves became confused…
They didn't know where it was coming from…
The diversion was succesful they thought that it was the man above them who casted the multiple bombardments coming from all directions.
Their eyes were glued on Slaine and having casted their spells already all they could do was wait for the next round after the cooldown, as they talked amongst themselves with anger to the man flying above them.
They were in panic, disarray, and in terror, I never thought that the day would come when I would see these expressions on their faces. If this was a normal victory we would have cheered and mocked them, however Slaine instilled discipline to us, he always told us to focus at the mission at all costs, and to shred away our pride.
So everyone kept proning in silence, but in our hearts once again the taste of victory was so sweet, seeing our spells bombard them.
However, there were still the tough ones, like the commanders who stood their ground with nullifier shields in front of them, they eyed Slaine with anger and hatred and threw another spell at him, but aside from some dark-elf commanders almost all of them of them were afraid, that they tried stepping back, but they couldn't — because a dark elf-commander was there. This was one of their traits Slaine told us about, and it was true, they had a chain of a command, and just like us they had their own sense of pride.
Slaine didn't take action and just carried his weapon as he looked down on them with his dead eyes, as if mocking them. For some reason, after following him for months, I could tell, even when he's just showing that emotionless eyes of his.
According to Slaine's orders, we proceed with our bombardment — we continued as soon as we could after the cooldown, the camp that was filled with the voice of obnoxious dark-elves was now blinded by flashes of light that came from the point where we directed our magic to, avoiding the locations where they held the slaves.
At this point in a prone position we thought that we would already been discovered discovered, however we weren't.
One of our training was to cast our spells silently, the shorter the incantation the better.
Back then the army of elves, our ancestors and the generations that followed shouted their spells as much as they could in a face-to-face battle with the dark-elves, filled with pride to defeat the filthy enemy.
The way we are doing it right now, mocks our ancestors and the pride we once had.
If we removed pride from our hearts, we didn't need to shout our spells, all we have to do is murmur our spells with great feelings in it — this was a great discovery, it isn't the louder the voice of the incantation, but with regards to how we feel, and our magic maximizes its potential through it, although not anyone could do this, this alone presents us the opportunity to cast spells while being hidden.
It was the first time for us to conduct the unfair tactics dark-elves are proficient at — the ambush, successfully.
"They didn't notice us!? They didn't notice us! Keep concentrating!"
Valeri exclaimed but in a whisper, because Slaine was heading out, I joined the nearest squad with me, where Valeri belonged.
Their attacker was a female elf who had fire magic, who could concentrate on the next bombardment. Our focus was to keep the dark-elves from the huts where they keep the potential hostages.
Slaine was more aware of the methods of the dark-elves.
"Lyra, Valeri, I have cleared the dark-elves near the hut, now go!"
We crawled faster and faster, remembering our training, we silently crawled into the hut as fast as we could, while the bombardment happened, and hell was being unleashed upon the dark-elves.
We only had 10 squads with us, numbering up to 30 elves. We didn't know that our practical training would be like this, however all of us believed in him and he responded to our trust by this impressive plan.
Everything was within his expectations, it's almost too accurate that I can feel the hairs in my body stand.
Just by showing his intimidation and his reputation, he inspired fear and confusion on the dark-elves.
And with his idea — these new clothes that Ms. Alre had made for us, we were not detected and we were free to do all we wanted as long as we were acting according to the protocols he set beforehand.
The dark-elves in confusion, finally collapsed their chain of command ran for their own lives like the filthy beings they are, however they were hit severely by bombardments coming from all of the directions.
After crawling, even how many bugs we couldn't stand crawled in our skin, I and Valeri didn't mind it, if it's for our comrades that have been enslaved.
We reached the hut and scanned for enemies, but we were protected by the squads who were firing from behind.
I summoned my treants and had them pretend as trees as I get closer and closer to the backdoor of the entrance of the hut making a tree isle where no one can see us passing through it.
It's not just the tactics that Slaine taught us.
In his free time he would approach some elves that had potential in their magic, and would devise a way to use them efficiently.
And for me, it was this that he devised for me.
My treants that looked like normal trees if they didn't move sprouted as many leaves as they could as they became a staircase for me to go to the hut and open the door.
When I opened it, I saw an amount of female elves captured; they didn't have any light on their eyes anymore, they just stared in a daze, with their naked bodies exposed.
I felt hatred once again as blood pumped into my head; I bit my lip, and it bled.
I want to take part in the slaughter that's happening and kill one dark-elf with my own hands!
However, I then when I looked up to the skies with the sound of the wings, I saw Slaine who's still hovering. I don't know if I just imagined it, but I felt him looking at me from above as he crossed his arms evading the spells being thrown at him.
Then I remembered the feelings he gave me, the hope, the chance and the potential if we just follow him.
"I know… we should secure the objectives first right?" I murmured.
I balled my fist and punched my leg to ease the pain in my heart seeing these women and girls.
Just how much suffering the dark-elves caused them to look like this.
This awful stench of feces and body liquids, those scratches in their naked bodies, the tip of their ears that have been cut.
It was truly a horrible sight, but this will end starting today!
