The Sended's

Chapter (-): When the Colours Fade

What has begun will end. Like everything, this war makes no difference

Sometime in the future, yes, one day, this war will end, that's a clear certainty. But who will end it and how it will end is a different thing

We Elves who have always enjoyed success since this world was formed? The Dwarves, our natural enemies with all the majesty of their technology? Or maybe another race, with something that could electrify the Celfia

"Miss Ily, the enemy is already in sight,"

It is sad to see this world history book, there are only endless betrayals and wars that fill the book sheet by sheet

Has the meaning of peace ever actually come true? Or is it just a word about something that never existed? But, a peaceful world....? I'm sure Kelfia will achieve this one day, just not in my generation

"Sythe Hyd Friedyr, full energy!"

"Ready! Sythe Hyd Friedyr, full energy!"

"Foot!"

Loincloth.... I got too carried away yesterday, I forgot of course the people sent to me were still green....

All this time they only worked on the construction part according to their expertise, now if suddenly told to go out and plunder the Orc ship that I just do not know what material it comes from.... It's not gonna end well

But the dice have been thrown, inevitably I have to leave tomorrow as promised

"Kurou.... You're really going again?"

"It's my job anyway, I'm also aware that I'm a good fit for this,"

"But aren't you the leader of the young group? You can use your position to change positions,"

"It's certainly possible, but it's not true,"

I see that Rize is indeed very worried, I am indeed the only family he has right now. But how else, right? We have very few competent people

My total group is currently only 11 people, this number is already quite large for me. Usually I only move with three people to speed up the expedition, but this time the mission is different

I'll take them all in case, but I also know if one Orc survives the crash then the chances of us winning are still very small, especially if he still had his Orc combat attire.

Once I found a derelict Dwarf miner some distance from where we lived, I tried to find a map from inside the machine that was much larger than the entire human hill

But what I found was something more valuable, data

We found data from a small device inside the miner, when my men touched it reacted quickly and immediately displayed a hologram of the reverse command

It contained something like this: "To all personnel in the G73 area, it is expected to return to the nearest fathership soon. The Orc Fleet has come and they are coming with a large number, we will start the defensive line in that area,"

Not only that command, there was also data about Orcs, what their advantages were as well as what the disadvantages were. I remember it all, unfortunately there is no data on the ship belonging to the Orcs

Even Dwarves don't have that kind of data huh?

It was said that Orcs had armor coated with powerful magic, it made their armor as strong as Dwarf-made armor. This would provide a great advantage if a close combat were to occur, and indeed it was the military doctrine of the Orcs

They would ram their flying ships into enemy ships and conduct piracy and melee combat where they benefited

But it is also said that their ship is actually only strong in the front, because it is devoted to hitting enemy ships.

Haha... Looking at the hole that was on the other side besides the front of the ship in front of me, I think the Dwarves made excellent use of the Orc's weaknesses.

Yes, we have arrived at the scene, finally arrived....

Taking twice as much time to get here with this amount, is very inefficient. But even if it takes a long time to get here, it will be faster to plunder this ship with more numbers

During the trip, the six people from the construction section seemed to want to give up several times. I won't stop them if they want to come back, it could also be proof to that conservative old man that it's really bad out here

The acid rain that kept eroding our clothes, the poisonous air that could kill us at any time without this particular mask, not to mention the extremely bad terrain, and the possibility of encountering another race that was as creepy as us

Yes, of course, who live under the shadow of giants not only us, there are still some races who also lose in developing their abilities, in the end they are also eliminated easily by Elves and Dwarves

One example is the Avians

They were a race with the beauty of wings on their backs, but what did this pair of wings in the polluted sky mean?

I heard that since the sky turned black, they never again appeared in the air. That means they can't use their abilities huh? Naturally, because flying can be done by everyone today. All but us are a nation of outcasts

Thats enough. We had better start moving or there was a possibility of Orcs sending in rescue troops, when that arrived we couldn't possibly do anything

"Kyle and Ugo cover them, the rest come with me inside while mapping this ship,"

"Good!"

The three of us split tasks, one mapped the ship, one checked the road ahead, and I would act if there were any strange objects or strange events. For example...

"Wait," Suddenly Loha or the person in charge of the front stopped us

Is the Orc that is lying no longer alive, he is still wearing his armor but has been partially split

I touched the armor, I think if not Orcs it might be impossible to wear this armor, because it is very heavy. Only powerful Orc physiques were capable of using this kind of armor

"I think this is where his commando, Kuro, is,"

Right, up ahead there are scattered Orc corpses, and the control equipment is broken. But. apparently there is still one that lights bright green.

I got closer to the control device while Loha and the Bulls followed me from behind

For people like us who rarely see advanced technology except when exploring, it looks amazing. I wish we had one of these tools at home, but taking it would be risky

"Beepin....! Beep....! Beep...!" beep....!"

There was a recurring sound coming from inside this tool, it was sounding quietly with the same tempo. I'm trying to take a closer look

Huh uh?!

"We need to get out now!"

"Eh? What's up Kuro?"

"This ship, they're calling for reinforcements!"

Plastered on the screen was a request for help that the Orc headquarters had already responded to thirteen minutes ago. I don't know how fast the Orcs responded to get here, but thirteen minutes was enough time for the Elves to get to our hill from their nearest regional headquarters

"We need to hurry!"

"I haven't finished mapping this ship, Kuro!"

"If you don't come out now, maybe you can't map anything anymore, come on!"

"Good!"

We quickly got out of this boat, unlike the way we got in that was very careful

"Eh? Why are you guys getting out so fast? How about a-"

"We have to go home now" I said as I took a breath

"In a moment, Kuro. We haven't sampled enough,"

"No! We should... go home!"

"Kuro what's the matter?!"

Shit, there's no time to explain, but I have to do that as briefly as possible

"That tool in the command room, they called for reinforcements,"

"What?!"

"Quick packing, we're going home right now!"

They followed my orders right away after finding out why, I hope we-

What is that sound?

Originally from behind a hill near here, his voice was loud and getting louder all the time. It was like he was approaching, what not-don't?!

"Leave that! We're leaving now!"

"Eh?"

A ship with a similar design as this fallen Orc ship appeared from behind the hill I mean, not just a.

Damnit damnit!

"Kuro! We're ready,"

It's too late.yes, it's too late....

If we were to be followed to the hill of our house, it would end up very bad for human survival. Do we have to let go of life here?

Is there nothing we can do?

We have no weapons to use against the ship, let alone weapons to bring it down. Why is our life so difficult like this?

"Huh.." I let out my breath.

"We'll stay" I continued

"Kuro, what do you mean?"

"You know what I mean. If we run now, we'll be shot down by their ship, but if we don't then that means they want to follow us all the way home, which is much worse isn't it?"

They were silently pondering over what I said, it is true that in a situation like this we have no hope

What exactly is the great purpose that the ancestors mentioned? Dead from looting a destroyed ship? Huh...in the end we are only the lowest level race, even the Avian has wings to fly.

Why don't Gods give humans abilities? That great goal....is only death waiting for us?!

When all my hopes were dashed, he showed up

She, a girl flying above the sky firmly and without hesitation in her eyes, looked at the approaching Orc ships

How could he suddenly be there without me noticing?I don't know. How can he fly? I don't know. What creature is this? I don't know

All I know for sure is that he's looking down at me right now

"Confirming with human data, everything fits. Need to be checked further,"

What does that word mean?

"The Orc ship in front is just a mission barrier, starting the war mode,"

At first I thought he was Avian, but his wings were very different. It was like it was made from Dwarf technology, and he did not even flap his wings like Avian did

After he said about the activation of the war mode, his body changed. With many weaponry I had never seen even in the data of Dwarves or Elves, he seemed to modify his body in a matter of seconds

"Active war mode, start dropping targets,"
