Book 4: Chapter 53
** Dark Elf Village Vicinity **
「Hurry up! There is something unusual about the early summer bird flock!」Knock urged a unit of 10 dark elves loudly.
However, the members had been running from early morning to nightfall, and had been on high alert to avoid fighting ferocious monsters as much as possible, so they were naturally fatigued. As they were now being pushed to sprint, they felt a burning sensation in their strained heart and lungs.
「K-Knock, we can’t run anymore…」
「Suck it up and run! The flock is headed for the village!」
Knock alone had extraordinary strength and stamina, so he was running at the front of the unit.
About 30 minutes ago, Knock found a flock of early summer birds flying over in the sky. As soon as he realized that it was heading in the direction of the village, an unpleasant premonition crawled up his spine.
「W-We know… But we are too exhausted. Even if we get there, we can’t fight!」
「Kuh!」
