Chapter 96 Enemy Camp III - Vice Commander
"What's wrong with that wall? Damn it, we had to work so hard to curse that wyvren now they won't even function,"
The vice commander complained with her anger reaching the maximum point. She couldn't even believe how they lost and how their commander got absorbed into the city like it was some kind of haunted house.
"What do we do now? Are we going to wait until Duchess respond to our message?"
Troubled dark elves question their second leader expecting answers. Most of them had no respect for their leader, the only reason they were able to fight together is that they are fighting other races. That didn't mean there were no internal conflicts among them.
'I don't like that bitch but without her, I can't properly handle these girls'
The vice commander thought as she got ready to leave. They didn't expect their hideout to be discovered by Nikol and his group, all the dark elves had confidence in their commander that she wouldn't betray them but little did they know she had to confess because of how cruelly she got tortured.
"Wait! Something is strange, I smell blood," As soon as the vice commander left her hut, she felt the unusual atmosphere. It didn't even take a few seconds, as soon as she said those words suddenly Nikol's group attacked her without even showing any mercy.
*Zing
An arrow came flying toward her head but she suddenly dodged it, as she already knew something was wrong. Even though she was a dark elf that depended on curse magic, she had some training to react to an incoming arrow. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮
"Everyone, take cover, we are under attack," As soon as she said that, another volley of arrows fell upon their head injuring some of them. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
"Damn it, where are they shooting from?" Turning her head left and right, the vice commander tried to find the source where these arrows are coming from.
Following the path of the arrows, she was easily able to see Zenda and her elven archers.
"Elves!"
She couldn't help but wonder how they found the camp. She didn't want to believe it but the only thing that came to her mind was Lora.
"Did that bitch betray us?" Covering herself from the attacks, she thought about how to get away from this infuriating battle.
She knew they were at a disadvantage without their monsters, the long-range weapons were like mortal enemies for her at this point, that she wanted every bow and arrow in this world to disappear.
"Vice commander, what do we do now?" Conflicted seeing this huge army surrounding them, all the dark elves felt hopeless.
"What else we are going to fight, we can't escape since they are blocking the entrance," She motivated everyone in the group asking them to take their weapons.
It didn't even take a few minutes for this whole thing to escalate as dark elves started to fight back. But it was a rather disadvantageous fight since they had to fight so many elves as well as humans at the same time.
"Stupid girls!"
The vice commander looked at everyone bravely going out only to get shot by an arrow or a sword. For some reason, their cursed magic also didn't work against them showing their only choice is to surrender.
"Kill everyone, don't let anyone escape, we will win this war and take our revenge," Lydia shouted giving motivation to her girls, as well as elves.
It was a rather one-sided fight but there was one thing that lacked in this battle. The one who ordered to start of this fight wasn't there to help these dark elves girls.
"I will quickly meet Duchess and ask for help, it's sad losing so many girls but I can't die here, I won't go down I have lot of stuff to do,"
Abandoning everyone to death and using them as bait, the vice commander started to run for her life through a hidden exit.
"I will remember everyone, when I meet duchess it will be the last day these elves live,"
The gate which she used to exit wasn't a huge one, instead it was rather small and broken down, which looked like it was an entrance to some kind of a haunted house that had been abandoned for a few centuries.
"I'm safe," Leaving the camp, she sighed feeling relieved and got ready to leave, but suddenly she heard a rather deep voice behind her causing her to twitch and jump back.
"How exactly?"
"Who?"
"You said you're safe and I want to know how?"
"Tsk, just one human," She observed her opponent rather carefully. And she noticed his lack of weapons and a smile came to her mouth.
Her opponent somehow looked different from everyone and she noticed how flat 'her' chest is. 'Her' nonchalant attitude bothered her a little bit but she just took it as overconfidence that is baseless.
"You don't even have a weapon, what exactly can you even do?" Her voice was filled with an insulting tone.
"Well whatever, you are going to die here anyway, I don't have sympathy for wild animals like you,"
Leaving those words, she powered up her legs and sprinted in her opponent's direction to directly contact him to inflict her curse upon him.
"You're done for, fool, with my curse you won't even be able to stand up," Laughing with a crazy sound, she touched the body of her opponent expecting a great reaction like despair or at least some conflict in expression.
"Don't touch me with your dirty hands,"
But he Just casually he wiped his clothes as he got touched by something dirty while mocking her. He had a disgusted face which easily fueled the anger of the vice commander even more.
"Nikol, are you okay?" Suddenly they heard a concerned voice which belonged to a beautiful lady. It was none other than the voice of Emily herself.
"I'm fine Emily, don't worry,"
Suddenly another 50 elves came out of the trees, they were perfectly hiding themselves waiting for Nikol's orderr, but when he decided to catch the vice commander off guard, they worried that something might happen to him.
Seeing Nikol unfazed they felt relieved.
"No way!" The Vice commander lost all her hope seeing this, if she wanted to escape she had to fight with so many elves as well as this strange person in front of her.
"I'm surrounded," She murmured while misunderstanding Nikol's confidence as these girls.
"Don't worry, they won't attack you, it's absolutely unnecessary to waste our valuable arrows on you, so come, I will beat you with these bare fingers," Nikol didn't forget to add his own share of offensive words to his words which actually worked rather well.
"What did you say-" At last she exploded with Nikol's insults.
"I will kill you, and damn it, I will kill your whole race and wipe my ass with their skin,"
She didn't stop grumbling as she again charged with her sword aiming at Nikol, seeing her magic not working her only choice was to depend on sword and physical strength.
"I can see your movements even if I close my eyes," Nikol blocked her sword with his hands without even trying hard.
She smiled seeing it thinking she injured him but unlike what she wanted to see there weren't any injuries on his body.
"How? What are you? This can't be happening," She freaked out. Her sword didn't work and her magic didn't work either, now her only option was to run away or surrender.
"Well, well don't you want to wipe your ass with my skin?" Slowly getting close to the vice commander, Nikol showed a rather scary expression on his face, as he showed his eyes which had a ruthless glint to them.
"He is-" Elves and Emily who were observing this whole incident felt their heart racing looking at his figure.
"So cool," They felt their hearts beating rather crazily looking at his face, which was totally different from his kind face.
"Stay away, don't come close," She started crying with her face disfigured in tears and blood. It was true people always feared unknown, same thing happened with vice commander as she didn't know who Nikol was.
"What happened? What happened? You wanted to wipe your ass with my skin, so do it," He tightly grabbed her hair and started to drag her body like a piece of meat until they got rather close to all the elves.
"If you ask for forgiveness from every elf and kiss their feet, I will let you go," His words caught both elves and vice commander by surprise.
"Nooooooooo!" As soon as he said those words, she quickly refused it even without considering it for a moment.
"Is that so?"
"How should we use her body? Maybe it will be a great fertilizer for our trees but they will be dirty with a pig like her," His behaviour and the way he talk felt different for some reason.
It was more cruel and hot. Previous kind and patientnt Nikol was nowhere to be seen in this figure, which worried Emily but she liked this version even more as she felt flashbacks of her rebellious days and how he used to punish her.
"Maybe I should start doing bad things and ask him to punish me, Ughh~ I still get wet thinking about those days," She quickly tried to dismiss these vulgar thoughts, as this was a serious moment.
"I'm giving you a last chance, do what I told you to do or we will cut your body part by part,"
The vice commander was on the verge of fainting as she felt so much pressure and despair at the same time. Her brain was running at full speed thinking of a way to run away as she didn't want to be tortured.
"I will," After a few minutes, she finally managed to release some words in a low tone which felt more like a whisper.
"Hahhhh~ I didn't hear you, say it again loud and clear, bitch," Nikol kicked her face rather hard making her cough some blood.
"I will do it, please don't kill me, I will do it," After a long session of conflict inside her mind, she couldn't entertain the idea of being tortured like this, so she decided to do whatever they ask.
"Good now let's start the party," With Nikol's voice, everyone felt chills down their spine, as they got close to him expecting to take a good look at what was about to happen.
