Book 6: Chapter 14.2
「Fuu…—We were able to secure the stability of the territory so soon. Your assistance is appreciated, Knock-dono.」
Border Earl Mule still wore a bear pelt on his head, wielding a battle ax that weighed more than a few adults, and slaughtered more monsters than anyone else.
And the person who evenly matched the Border Earl’s number was the dark elf Knock.
「It’s nothing much. Just payment for the food you provide us.」Knock said.
「Fuhaha. If you would provide this much in repayment for food, then many are going to fall for you guys.」the Border Earl said.
「Food isn’t the main point. It’s who we eat it with… Otherwise, we wouldn’t move a finger.」
Knock tried to brush it off as something casual, but as the Border Earl himself admits, it’s largely due to the help of the Dark Elves that he was able to wipe out so many monsters so quickly. They are stronger than the Border Earl’s knights and are more accustomed to fighting monsters.
The dark elves are also able to move around even after a battle, as opposed to the soldiers of the army who need to rest due to exhaustion. So the dark elves are able to transport edible meat from the monsters.
「I’m the best!」
