Femdom Island

With everyone quickly working and getting ready for the first and most important fight in their life, it wasn't hard for Nikol and the group to manage the army rather efficiently.

They listened to him without even making a single mistake showing how respectful they were including both humans and elves.

After discussing things with Tisha and convincing her to stay in the kingdom, Nikol and Zenda lead their way in the direction which was pointed out by the dark elf commander. It wasn't easy for them to make her confess but with Nikol's method, she had no choice but to open her mouth. She knew if she didn't open her mouth at that moment, more holes in her body will be explored rather forcefully so she obeyed his words.

"Zenda, what happened to our spies?"

Expecting information before implementing their attack, Nikol questioned as he didn't want to risk anyone losing their lives over a silly mistake such as misinformation.

"They will be here any moment now, let's just proceed to march," She was a little worried about them since they were late but Zenda had confidence in her own kin as she knew they were so good at stealth, especially in forests.

While talking with each other they proceeded to enter the dense forest again but this time they took a different path.

Humans felt weird seeing so many huge trees and veins surrounding them but for elf people, this was the ideal habitat which made them feel comfortable.

They kept walking while keeping their sense sharp to point out even a single sound until Zenda felt something strange.

"Wait!" Suddenly Zenda showed her hands to everyone as she took her sword taking a battle stance.

"What?" Everyone was surprised but Zenda asked them to be silent.

"It's coming," She warned as Nikol also felt something approaching them from above with so much speed. It was like a monkey hopping from tree to tree but from the sound, they knew it wasn't the size of a monkey.

Not even three seconds after her warning someone attacked them without even giving them time to react but with Nikol and Zenda's inhuman reaction speed they quickly blocked it.

"Peru, What are you doing?" Seeing the attacker's face, Zenda questioned as she quickly identified who it was.

The attacker was none other than one of the spies Zenda assigned to spy on dark elves.

"Commander!" She quickly bowed her head to pay respect but right now it was the least concern of Zenda.

"Why did you attack me? What happened?" Curious about the situation, Zenda questioned her.

"Commander, we were attacked and my sister got injured by a strange dark mist-like thing," Peru's voice was shaking as she was angry and sad at the same time.

It was rather obvious, how she felt from her face, as her whole face was reddened to the point it was confusing whether it was a fruit.

"You got attacked? But how? You two were the best spies we had," She doubted Peru's words because Zenda was more confident in their skills more than anything. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

"It's a long story, I will tell you about it on our way, can we please help my sister for now?" She was rather hesitant to talk back with Zenda but right now it was inevitable for her as her sister's life was on the line.

Even though Peru expected Zenda to scold her for talking back, she didn't get scolded instead Zenda nodded her head while quickly asking her to show her the way.

"Peru, tell me what happened?" 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

Hearing her question, Peru quickly answered while everyone perked up their ears to listen to her words as they were important to everyone.

"Just like the commander asked us, we went to spy on dark elves and we were successfully able to reach their camp without getting noticed but," Peru paused for a minute as she took a deep breath like she was trying to do something.

"They tried to send a messenger to someone called Duchess so we couldn't let that happen, They told if they can successfully contact them, help will come so we tried to attack the messenger,"

Nikol and everyone knew where this was going but he was still confused because both spy sisters had mana stones given by Nym so he thought it must be impossible for them to get cursed.

"We tried to confront that messenger and attacked her but unlike what we expected she was too strong for two of us," She continued her story but at the same time Peru didn't forget to show them the correct path.

"Everything was fine until she touched my sister a few times, she suddenly fell on the ground with something like black smoke coming out of her body right after that," She also explained how she retreated because they were at a disadvantageous position which brings her to the present situation.

"Tsk, so they have a way to overcome Nym's mana stones," Lydia didn't feel good knowing that their supposedly perfect defence wasn't perfect at all.

"Did that messenger escape or went back to the camp?" Nikol questioned as it was too dangerous to face them if they already know about their arrival.

"No, she didn't go back, I thought she will do that but it looked like this message is much more important to them than protecting this camp,"

Everyone wondered what kind of calamity they are going to face. If this small camp had so many units and monsters none of them couldn't imagine what something bigger than this would look like.

"Zenda, Lydia what do you think? It looks like this is going to be a full-blown out war,"

Lydia and Zenda looked troubled as both of them thought about this for a few seconds until both of them came to a conclusion.

"It's dangerous, too dangerous, we will attack this camp and fall back to our kingdom, we can't afford to lose any of our girls,"

Nikol also agreed with their opinion. He knew facing such a threat wasn't something to be taken lightly.

While they were talking about important matters, Peru suddenly halted as she looked at a cave which looked abandoned.

"She's there, please help her," Her voice was desperate as she couldn't afford to lose her one and only sister.

In this world having a sibling was a miracle on its own but having a sibling in a long-living race like elves was even more unusual. To be more specific they were not normal sisters but they were twins.

These two spy sisters were famous among the villager because of this peculiar feature and among elves they were called shadows because of how identical and confusing they were which eventually caused them to train as spies.

Right now, Peru felt her heart breaking just imagining many different scenarios inside her mind.

"Nym is not here, should we send these two back to the kingdom?" Lydia said.

"Peru you will stay, we need you, you two take her back to the kingdom and don't touch her body," Nikol ordered pointing at two random girls but he didn't know how to carry her without touching her body.

"Can she still stand or is she unconscious?"

"She was conscious but her body was rather weak,"

In the end, Peru's sister had to walk with the other two girls, even though her curse wasn't too strong. It was a faint trace but it was still deadly enough to kill her at the proper time.

"Are you okay now? Feel better?" Hearing Nikol's question, she smiled with a grateful look. She bowed her head thanking everyone in the group for their patience but this warm moment doesn't last long since they had a battle to face.

They kept running until they saw a small village-like structure emerging through the leaves of the forest. It would have been a pleasant view for anyone if this wasn't a dark elf camp.

"So this is the place, looks like they are heavy on guard,"

There was a wooden wall outside but it wasn't anything grandeur like elves. It was just a simple wall which wasn't too big or too small. Outside this wall, there were a few dark elves protecting the entrance which looked horrible because it wasn't anything like the elven kingdom.

"What do we do? We can charge but it will be dangerous,"

Everyone was discussing how to proceed in this case. Most of them wanted to play it safe and attack without making too much noise which was the best option in this case since they were heavy on long-range weapons.

"Peru, do you know the inside structure?"

Since she was proficient in climbing trees, it was rather easy for her to see inside the village and she knew the whole structure which made things, even more, easier for Nikol and his gang.

"Yes, everything ready, we will finish this camp today and massacre every dark elf,"

Even non-violent elves looked like hungry lions waiting for their prey as their anger and frustration fueled their emotions. After a few minutes, everyone got ready to initiate the attack as they heard Zenda's voice.

"Bows, release your arrows and kill them," As soon as Zenda gave her orders, bow units started to take clean shots at dark elves outside the gate painting the simple wooden walls with red colour.
