230 – I have been too naive

I, have been too naive So naive ita god, the only one capable of opposing me is Kuro Even with Kuro, if I can avoid a direct confrontation then I reckon I can do whatever I like In reality it is like that too, though Kuro has continued to be cautious ofnised anybody else as having the potential to becoap in the response between us To plug the gap in power between us I need tiood use Even if it seems about to turn into a direct battle, I have some tricks prepared For these reasons, nobody exists who can rival ht

So naive So naive it od but I’ The proof is in the existence of Kuro who is not able to do ht a bit more deeply about this Even if I had considered it, h And yet, I still have regrets

I should have known The depths of malice that people can have Just how vicious the huilant against, is not sith, but rather just how cruel their feelings can become instead I should have known, yet I looked down on it

So naive So naive it ar seem bitter in comparison

The 4th army lead by the hoodlum has launched an assault on the 7th arht itself to be nearly ready for its own assault, instead found itself to be on the receiving side of a surprise attack, and are responding while terrified Consequently, their defensive formation couldn’t be established correctly, and their defence line was breached with ease At that point the defending side lost the e, and the battlefield turned into an all-around melee In that event, the outcoh their arth, it was between the 4th ar with full preparation, versus the 7th aro on the attack There was a clear difference

That being said, it was just the opening stage, and the 7th aruess you could say it should be expected of a professional ware even still, so no radually worn down The 4th ar wave, instead switching to careful attacks to avoid exhaustion Maybe, when the 7th arressive attacks, heavy losses ht have been inflicted The co out clear orders Not bad, hoodlum

The outcome of the battle became clear All that was left was how the 7th army commander Warkis would respond If they resisted to the bitter end they would be annihilated If they surrendered it would end there Either way the leader Warkis would lose his life, but surrender was better in ter the rank and file The question hat about the disguised man As much as my clones searched, there was no hint of hiht away and flee?

That prediction, was half right, and half wrong

There was a group who tried to break through the 4th aric to open a gap in the encirclement, they still tried to escape soroup, was that they all had hoods concealing their faces

It was clearly a group of elves So I concluded, and sent h it’s fine to leave therab one for myself To isolate one in another dimension, lost inside the melee

When I had concluded that, I found her Found HER

She was a small child, unsuitable to be on a battlefield Compared to that little Hero from before, she was even sirl Such a tiny girl, was fighting on a battlefield

Miraculously, that child was in theher appearance, that child’s ability was high But, the elves around her were adults with even higher ability Even still, the child was in the ht

I heard voices

「Don’t give up! Focus on escaping!」

「Yes!」

To put it bluntly fro able to break through the encircle all their individual abilities, without a hidden jewel a out from this place is impossible I’m sure that they had realised that as well And yet, like a ray of hope, they atteh They clearly had no intention of surrendering They plunged themselves forwards desperately As if to prove it, one, by one, they fell
