The Early Online Dream

Episode 36 of Arc Dark Eye: Lara's Plan

‘’The city of Duran is not as weak as other cities, they are very old cities and have a great history since the primeval era to the end of the dark era, there is also a man named Aaron who claims to be the descendant of a legend who in the canal as Duran the hero of the continent. By paying attention to this I am sure the Dark Eyes do not dare to tease the city of Duran without a fairly mature plan’’ said lara casually

‘’Cimir City on the other hand is a new city that has only been established for several hundred years the Dark Eye monsters do not see them as a threat because there is no one like Duran. Philotas are also the same even though they are a kingdom-level territory. But, basically they are much younger than the City of Duran even much younger than the city of Cimir himself’’ Lara casually said

‘’Another acquisition actually by looking at the development now, this village is doomed if within the next 3 or 4 days no troops from the empire form a defense here. Although your boss can get here with all the people safely they are basically late’’

Moreover, Duran is now surrounded by the Dark Eye Monster, two villages near Duran City reportedly received a flood of Dark Eye monsters and the soldiers of Duran city began to fight to defend the two Villages together with the players in the city of Duran. I think now the soldiers and players who helped started to get pushed back and decided to retreat to the Duran city wall. Tonight's fight will be tough for the city of Duran and after tomorrow morning with the arrival of the Dark Eye monster. If the person who is rumored to be Duran's descendants does not show his strength then Duran will certainly collapse in the next two days’’ there is no doubt from the words lara makes Giezmen really not wrinkled and fixated just staring.

Lara spoke based on the facts she found. But not everything he says is the truth. On the other hand, the clueless Giezmen seemed silent without a word and then turned around and then walked out of the room. Lara really hit her confidence as a captain. Just as Giezmen was coming out, Mira entered with a piece of letter from the empire. Lara reads the letter slowly and from her expression there is no trace she is surprised to make Mira think that Lara has taken everything into account

Previously Lara predicted that they could defend by making a defense. But, it seemed impossible after lara noticed the development. He had already seen how the monsters did not stop erupting out of Mount Platos and it would continue to grow even beyond Lara's expectations. The power that the dark eye possessed was no longer on par with a kingdom like lara had previously estimated but rather an reaching power of a continent.

‘’Philotas has made the decision to withdraw after their royal capital can no longer stem the flood of monsters. all the forces of the kingdom of Philotas and their entire alliance at Duran would soon form a retreat towards the first line of defense of Alexandria. Without warriors and the entire guild alliance as well as the ecclesiastical forces, Duran would collapse’’

‘’Our initial plan has failed, the Dark Eyes who have pointed their fangs towards Duran will soon enter the City. We will also definitely receive the impact soon. Immediately form a temporary defense and make gather all the children and women for the plan to retreat to the Mor Forest immediately’’ Lara make an order instead of a proposal

‘’Hutan Mor?, it can not, there is dangerous..’’ Mira immediately denies

‘’There is nothing to think of as a danger or not, we do not have enough time to retreat to the Empire through Duran unless we can pass through the Mor’’ Mist Forest

‘’No, I will not let my villagers into the Mor Forest let alone the Mor Mist Forest. Very dangerous, there is a better way to get to Alexandria is through an underground cave Mor’’ Village Mira said which made Lara a little surprised then spoke in reply

‘’Do you know how big the cave is?, how long is it?, the situation?, or some kind of danger stored in it?. If you know immediately tell me’’ Lara looked at Mira very calmly

‘’I don't have a clear picture. But, I found a note in an old book in this village related to a special cave directly connected to Morgana the capital city of Alexandria, no one knows the origin of this cave’’ reply Mira plainly before continuing again

‘’I've checked several times indeed in the cave it is very bright, the monsters there are also harmless just a bunch of Cave Rats and some insect-type monsters that are not so strong. We have many players here and there is no way we will lose to a swarm of Goa’’ Rats explained Mira in lara to be more convincing

‘’I asked to build a wall at the beginning because I thought that Philotas could survive and we would not receive a serious impact from the monster flood. But, after seeing the development we can only choose another option which is to retreat to the Mor’’ Forest Lara started her words

‘’I've found a way to survive in the Mor forest safely.There is a tree that we can see from here. The tree called the world tree was one of the great secrets of the Mor Forest. World Tree is a residence for the Elves of the tree they do not like humans but are not also hostile to humans. We can try to ask for protection with them.’’

‘’Their strength is beyond our estimation, according to my calculations together they are much safer than the empire itself and I believe we can live with them safely’’ is clearly lara with a stark picture of her plan.

‘’it...’’ Mira felt she did not know what about what lara said she did not know what Elf tree was and why lara was so sure of their strength.

‘’Oh right too, I forgot one thing. They don't like grown men for a reason. So, according to my previous plan to use the men as shields with the players and make way for the women and children to the Mor forest to take refuge’’

‘’But, now that I have other plans for the men of Mor village, they can be taken by the empire through the underground cavern… Ligar will take the imperial men through the underground cavern path and you bring the women and children along with Michel to the World Tree asking for the protection of the Elf Tree to guarantee success, and you will bring the women and children along with Michel to the World Tree, I'll give this to you’’ lara pulled a wooden ring from her actual inventory bag accidentally found by Lara in the Antique Shop of Platos Village for 10 Gold.

Lara hesitated at first when she found him. But, then he was convinced that the ring was a ring belonging to Adam who was the first Tree Elf in the world after confirming it directly by matching it with the illustration with the one in Angelia's book.

‘’What is this? ’’ Mira was unable to identify it and then asked lara

‘’the ring of Adam, it belongs to the ancestors of the Elf Tree. I had little faith that they would be able to tolerate men getting in there by showing them the ring. But, I was a little bad at the gamble.’’ explained Lara in more detail about her plan.

‘’It's late, immediately form a meeting with your village people and tell me what exactly’’ brightly gave the order after saying his overall plan to Mira

Lara, who finished her business, immediately returned to her study table. Meanwhile, Mira came out with many things in mind. It has options that seem easy on the surface. But, it's actually very risky.

If he made the wrong choice there would be many casualties. If the victims of the Mira players do not care so much. But, if its citizens, the story is another. They would actually die if killed, unlike players who could create new accounts and repeat from scratch when they died.
