Army Angel: The Dark Side

And finally! A Village

After passing through the trees that became the barrier between the forest that we had been meeting we found a vast grassland right and left that was split by the river flow that continued to go south.

When we set foot on this grass, the wind blew on us as if welcoming us here.

These grasses are short and green typical of spring grass. With a fresh atmosphere, plus the sunlight that slowly began to sink, the atmosphere here really feels good.

Apparently not only am I stunned by this scene, even Siena and the Archiles are the same as me.

" Finally!! "

" It's so beautiful, I've never seen anything like this in person."

"Amazing. The outside world is awesome."

We each have our own comments.

Satisfied with looking at this scene, we hurried to move again before the day actually entered night time.

Following the flow of this river we hope to find settlements from humans or local residents.

After walking about 500m down the river. Sure enough, there was a former farmland. It has not been planted with crops, but it is clearly an active farmland. It was reinforced by the shadow of houses 200 meters from where we are now.

We finally found a settlement. We hastened our steps to get there.

We entered the area that I thought was the village when it was getting dark. In front of the houses of these residents there is lighting from something similar to ordinary street lighting. But so far I don't see any power lines or anything like that.

But why is this village so deserted? Where's people?

I've tried knocking on people's houses a few times. But there was no response from any of the houses I was building. Though I am very sure in the house there are residents. Anyway, I felt like we were being watched from every house we passed.

Are they afraid of us?

Feeling that there was still no response, I decided to continue to step towards the center of the village hoping that someone would be kind to us while still holding onto the female Elf of Siena's friend.

Uh. There are some people!

" Excuse me? Can I ask you guys for help? Uh?"

"..!!"

In response to my question, I was confronted by 2 of them with their swords. While another one immediately ran off somewhere.

Reflek, I immediately pulled the sword on my left waist with my right hand while my left hand remained supporting the Elf body behind me. Just like me, Siena also took the old kobold's short sword. Seeing what we did the 2 people in front of me were shocked and took a few steps back.

Soon a bell ringing in the village shocked me.

Now, we're surrounded. If you look around us, there may be 30-40 people who surround us even though they keep their distance.

Realizing that I was unable to fight with the Elf Girl on my back, while still brandishing my sword in front of me I lowered this Elf behind me. Archilles did the same and now he has prepared with his spear.

" What do you want?! We're not bad people and I don't want to find trouble here!"

I tried to ask them why they surrounded us like this.

" Let down your weapons strangers and monsters!"

One of them spoke loudly but was full of fear.

I guess they want to negotiate without attacking first?

Well that's good, but there's a problem. I have absolutely no idea what the person's intentions and language are.

" Do any of you understand their language?" Whispering I asked the 2 people behind me.

" no. "

" No, Sir."

Damnit. So the brands both don't know either.

It seems like there is no other choice. Although I'm not sure I can beat all these people, giving up is not a good option either.

Their fear is real. Fearful people tend to do something to remove their fear and ignore the rationality of thought. The possibility of the end result that I fathom is that the possibility of us being killed is not small.

" Get ready Archilles! We're gonna face these guys! While you're Siena, protect your two friends! "

"Good, Master!"

" I get it, but glen-"

" Hear! I told you that I have no bad intentions for you! But if you intend to attack us, then we will defend ourselves by killing you!! " I cried out loudly to warn them even though I knew it should be free with us who did not understand each other's languages.

I then proceeded to cast my magic spell. When he finished, my sword became covered in lightning. Even if that's all the magic I have for now. However, I was very confident of the ability I had trained for these 3 days and I guess it was effective enough as well to give them a psychological blow so they were hesitant to attack.

Until when does this end? Aren't you guys going forward? Ah this sucks.

" Do you not want to move forward? I'm quite surprised by the difference in the number of people like this you'll hold back. All right, if you don't want to move forward, let me start."

My body was tired enough to make my emotions unstable. Tired of waiting for me to start my own initiative. My plan was to beat up some of them and scare them. I'm ready to attack them.
