Child from the Dungeon

Chapter 151: Cleaning Up the Impure Part 4

( Meanwhile. )

" I hope those that we just sent immediately return before we continue our march. " the Flame Elf King asks the Sea Elf Chief, while the two are playing their chess.

" They will return, they should be... " the Sea Elf Chief says to the Flame King.

" For those that I just sent with your 'Pawns', are my 'Bishops'... " said the Sea Elf Chief, telling that the 'Swamp Shadow's he sent work on the sidelines, to evade direct enemy attack just like a 'Bishop' in chess, while the 'Pawns', the 'normal soldiers' had to face the enemies up front.

" An interesting explanation, do you have to say that while we're playing this game? " the Flame Elf King asks, asking if the Sea Elf King is that nuts to even correlate the situation, this situation in particular, with chess.

" Of Course, King of the Flame Elves. "

" Chess is the best example in describing war, it's... "

" Shut up! " the Flame Elf King shouts to the Sea Elf Chief, while finishing the Chief's bishop with his Rook he straight up use at that moment.

" You're just saying this after you found joy after the first time you play this with me... "

" I'm sorry to break this to you, but I've been playing this since I was a little Elf... "

" I know the game, I've played with some of my smartest peers. "

" Even if I lost sometimes, I still managed to defeat many in this game, this is just a game after all! " the Flame Elf King says after doing another move.

" I WIN! " the Flame Elf King says, as he moves the Rook directly in front of the Sea Elf Chief's King.

" Hey! " the Sea Elf Chief gets angry at him, but the Flame Elf King tells him that it is inevitable for before he did this, he already checkmated him in any position using his Bishop, Knight, and Pawn, after that, he finally won straight up using his Rook.

" I told you I played this many times, I'm bored of this game... "

" Chess and those mind games, sometimes are too restrictive and don't show me the realities of what happened in the war. " Flame Elf King says, for he remembers his last time-fighting in Validur, he opens his chest plate, revealing the wound he received back then.

" Who gave you that, Flame Elf King? " the Sea Elf Chief asks the king, as the king rubs his wound, recounting it.

He remembers the one who did this, a female Dark Elf, he fought after striking down the Dark Elf King and Queen, a Dark Elf Female General who slashed him using her magic in his moment of victory, the moment he already checkmate the whole enemy in his plan.

" A Dark Elf General, Sea Elf Chief... "

" A Female Dark Elf General who used her magic against me while I finished off her race's leaders in front of her. " he touches the scars, still feeling the pain the said Dark Elf gave her.

" I want to kill her, for I am a prideful elf that could never, ever, tolerate this kind of humiliation, especially coming from the filthy and impure Dark Elves. "

" To think a Dark Elf Woman could dare strike me in my peak moment, I was 'checkmate'-ing the whole Dark Elf Kingdome back then with my great strategy... "

" And suddenly there she comes, out of nowhere, a 'Bishop', a 'Knight', or whatever Chess Piece she was, suddenly came to break the game near the end of it. " the Flame Elf King says as he then drinks the water in his glass.

" That's why, after that event... "

" I've decided to not play these games anymore... "

" For this is the reality I've experienced and learned firsthand, no one could ever understand this. "

" Life itself is not a game, a playground... "

" It is a chaotic battlefield that always requires a person to survive, using any means. "

" Screw the rules, restrictions... "

" After all, in the chaos, there's nothing that we could counter using strategy in itself, no... "

" But with strength and awareness, we could defend ourselves in any danger, for the Elf Emperor's blessing is with us, after all... " the Flame Elf King grips the wound on his chest, he remembers when the Elf Emperor himself heals the wound effect from his body, neutralizing the lingering Dark Elven Magic at the time.

" Hail the Elf Emperor... " the Flame Elf King then covers the wound again with his chest plate, he looks outside, to see Validur from their location, far far away.

" Validur, it's time to ravage you once again, Dark Elf Region. " the Flame Elf King says while burning his glass.

" This time, I will make sure to destroy you to ashes, for every living thing that exists in your lands will be wiped out in the Sea of Fire, Validur! " the Flame Elf King says, saying that he won't play games this time, he will be serious, instead of doing those planning too much, this time, he would simply plan some and just be serious in its execution, in order for the attack to be done effectively.

" In war, planning may guide our ways, in the terms that we know... "

" But in reality, action and awareness is the thing that makes a warrior survive against all odds from the variabilities, both from what we know and we don't know about. "

" That's how I will lead everyone to victory this time... "

" To finally clean the impurity of the Dark Elves once and for all. " the Flame Elf King says as he stands up.

" Flame Elf King, are you? "

" Sea Chief, get up... "

" The playtime is over... " he says to the Sea Chief.

" Playtime is over? weren't we gonna wait for the- "

" The ones we sent...? "

" Trust me, they're already dead. " the Flame Elf King says, reminding the Sea Chief that they're in the Dark Elves zone, inside the regions of the lands of night.

" We have wasted our time, waiting for information while I myself want to leave these accursed lands as fast as I wanted it to be. " the Flame Elf King says.

" Yes, but... " the Sea Elf King wants to say something but the Flame Elf King interrupts.

" No buts, friend... "

" Do not forget that even the Emperor himself wants us to do this as quickly as we can. "

" I do not know why, but I think he doesn't want us to stay in these lands too long. "

" Probably fearing that if we stay too long, we could be a Dark Elf ourselves if we didn't see the Sun for days. "

" So... "

" Time for us to continue our mission, executing the directive orders from the Emperor once and for all. " Flame Elf King says as he leaves the place first.

Seeing him leave, the Sea Elf Chief then smirks, he smirks so wide after he hears what the Flame King of Elves just said.

" Now, when you think of it... " the Sea Elf Chief then looks at the chessboard once more.

" His logic was sound, there is no 'play' in a real battle," he says that, as he wipes out the chessboard he played with earlier.

" Only violence that exists, real violence that we will rain down on our enemies. " the Sea Elf Chief as he then leaves the now empty table.

" Validur, this time... we're not going to play with you anymore. " the Sea Elf Chief says to himself.

" This time, we will crush you to ashes, kekeke! " the Sea Elf Chief swears.

...

( At the same time. )

Tania comes out from the building she kept Vlikor at, after extracting some information from him, she was intercepted by Reala.

" Big sis, is there something you finally acquired? " Reala asks.

" I do, Reala... "

" Now call the others, now! " Tania orders Reala.

" Why, big sister, why- "

" Start running and call them Reala, c'mon, double time! " Tania shouts at her as Reala immediately runs and calls the other Black Shadows to come and see Tania for this is a serious matter.

" I see they somehow noticed our presence... " Tania says to herself.

" But how? did the Elf Emperor somehow... "

" CRAP! "

" Where's the Young Master? " Tania asks herself while trying to contact Donovan through her <Link>.

Extra:

In the Elven Realm (Alviheim), there are two lands, two primary lands.

One is the Lands of the Day, lighted by the Sun and the other is the Lands of the Night, lighted by the Moon.

In the Lands of the Night, the Elves of the Day like the Flame Elves, the Sea Elves, and the other Elves, etc, believed that in they themselves could turn into Dark Elves if they stay in the Lands of the Night for too long in their cleansing of that place.

Thus, in every conquest, the Day Elves will attack in full force to minimize their time duration in the Lands of the Night, it's their strategy based on this belief.
