"Dwarves…"
"Huh?"
"It's those short bastards! They dare attack our Elven Village!?" Eillia roared in rage.
Nadia and the others were taken aback by her sudden outburst and looked at her with wary looks on their faces.
Right now, she had clenched her fist and with how her hands were trembling, it could be seen that she was angry, very angry.
"Blood for Blood."
She muttered.
"What?" Nadia frowned.
"We will get our revenge," Eillia repeated.
"B-But we don't even know which Dwarf is responsible for this…" Nadia countered.
"Who cares, he was a dwarf in the end. If we find him, we will attack any random Dwarven Village. Those bastards dared to kill so many of our brethren, they have to pay,
They will pay with their lives!"
Eillia roared out loud.
"Prepare for battle! We will attack the village that is nearest to ours!" Eillia raised her hand and roared.
"YEAAAHHHH!"
Nadia's subordinates who were around her roared in excitement, however, Nadia didn't share the same excitement.
"Lady Eillia, I believe that it is better to report this to the Town."
"Huh? You think I am not enough to take on those Shorties?" Eillia questioned with sharp eyes.
"No, I know that Lady Eillia is the strongest being in the Town, however, I still believe that we should report this to the Town and ask what our next course of action should be."
Nadia wasn't intimidated by her gaze and replied.
"What is there to ask, let's just destroy-"
"Lady Eillia, please, I request you to think this through. I believe it would be smarted to ask the town about our next course of action."
"…"
Eillia glanced at Nadia, and seeing the serious look on her face, she stepped back.
For some reason, she knew Nadia wouldn't agree to attack right now, not until the town says otherwise.
"Alright, I will report it to the town."
Eillia muttered.
A small smile appeared on Nadia's face and she bowed her head and expressed her gratitude.
"I thank you for your understanding, Lady Eillia."
Naida's reasoning was simple, let's say they do attack the Dwarven Village and succeed in annihilating it.
There is no way they would be able to hide the traces and eventually, the dwarves would learn about it.
Of course, since Elves attacked them, they would retort back and attack another village as well, with their advanced weapons, it wasn't hard for them to attack and completely destroy a few villages at the same time.
Of course, Nadia knows that Elves are strong enough to attack back and can do even more damage to Dwarven Town, however, if things do go how she thinks they will go,
There is a high chance that her village might be destroyed in the process.
That is the last thing she wants right now.
She has already lost a fourth of her villagers, she doesn't want to see the rest of them dying either.
Therefore, she stopped Eillia from taking any risky and reckless steps and asked her to report to the town.
"Alright then, I will go and tell everything I saw here to the Town Head, wait for me to return," Eillia muttered, she then waved her hand and the ground that had pieces of metal on it rose into the air and then, it disappeared.
"I will be taking these metals as well."
"Thank you for your hard work, Lady Eillia."
Nadia bowed respectfully.
"We will attack once I return, this time, I won't stop myself just because you told me to." Eillia smiled and then she dashed towards the Town.
A wry smile appeared on Nadia's face as she shook her head.
She wanted revenge as well, however, if it comes with the cost of the rest of her villagers who are alive, she would rather stay silent.
She has already lost a lot today, she wasn't willing to lose more.
…
"We will not attack."
A man wearing a green coloured coat over a pale green coloured shirt muttered with a serious look on his face. He had refined features, red-brown hair, green eyes and a straight nose. He was incredibly handsome and his pointy ears showed that he was an Elf.
He was Vivian Dolreth, the Town Head of the Golden leaf Town.
"Haah!? Why!? Those bastards dared to attack us! Are we going to do nothing but sit back!? Since when are we so scared of those shorties!?"
"Calm down sister."
Vivian muttered as he glanced at Eillia who was standing in front of him.
Seeing his green eyes looking at her, Eillia calmed down and decided to listen.
There was a reason why even though Eillia was the strongest existence in the Golden Leaf Town, she still wasn't the Town head.
And that reason was Vivian.
Although Vivian may be weaker than her, he was intelligent and thinks everything thoroughly.
Eillia herself admits that she, who was a reckless woman isn't suited to be the head of the Town and appointed her brother as the Town Head.
There were no objections from the townspeople as well, the Dolreth Family was a popular family in the town that is known for thinking things that will benefit all the elves.
For the Town's people, Eillia or Vivian, as long as they are from the Dolreth family, it doesn't matter who becomes the Town Head.
Also, Vivian had already done a lot of things for the Town's people even before he became the Town Head, so he was welcomed warmly.
"What are you thinking?" Eillia questioned in a calm tone.
Vivian then glanced at the metal in front of him and muttered,
"This weapon must have been shot from a Dwarven Town since the Dwarven Villages won't have this kind of weapon with them."
"That's what I am saying, it is those bastards who killed so many Elve-"
"Yes, I know that, however, think about this.
The nearest Dwarven Town is 200 km away from us, if we calculate this distance from the Blossom Village that was attacked, the distance is around 150 km.
Do you really think Dwarves have a weapon this strong that can attack us from so far?"
"Huh?"
"Let's say they do have a weapon like that, but if they did, what is their reason to attack us like that? I understand that our relationship with Dwarves isn't very good, however, they aren't to the point where they would attack us like that without any reason.
Also, if a Dwarven Town really wanted to attack us,
The Blossom Village wouldn't have survived that attack and you know that as well."
"…"
This time, Eillia turned silent.
Even she could understand that Vivian's words were correct.
"Then are we supposed to stay silent like this?"
Even though she realized that Vivian's words are true, she still wasn't willing to take a step back, she wanted to avenge her people.
"No, of course not, no matter what, in the end, our people died, we can't stay silent, that is just not possible."
Vivian muttered.
Hearing that, a small smile appeared on Eillia's face as she questioned.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Rumbar Town, that is the town closest to Blossom Village.
There is a highly talented Blacksmith named Thorton who lives in that town, if it is him, I believe that he has the capabilities to create a weapon that has this much destructive power."
"So are you saying that it is him!? Should we capture him and tort-"
"Oh, C'mon Sister, you are an Elf, calm down, don't forget, we are a calm and collected race, we are not brutes like those Dwarves."
"Yeah yeah."
Eillia calmed down and pouted.
"We will not kidnap Thorton, we will just go into the town and have a talk with him."
"Huh? We will go inside a Dwarven Town that might very well be our enemy? Are you out of your mind!? What if they attack us!? Do you know how many people will die!? Just what are you thinking!? Since when have you been so reckless!?"
"Oh c'mon, when did I say we are going to take our army, it will just be two of us,"
"Just two of us?" Eillia frowned.
"Yes, if it is just the two of us, even if something does go wrong, we will be able to escape from the town without any major injuries."
"No, you can't go, let me go, I will talk to him myself." Eillia shook her head.
Vivian was the Town head, if something happened to him, things would get troublesome and she wasn't sure that she could protect him while facing a whole town as her enemy.
"Eillia, don't forget, although you may be the strongest in our Town, I am still the second strongest.
I am not weak."
"…bu-"
"No buts, we two will be going together, or else you can stay here and I will go alone."
"No, I'll come with you."
A smile appeared on Vivan's face as he patted his sister's head.
"So when are we leaving?" Eillia questioned.
"Right now."
