New Life Online 176 To Order Of Light City

I'm so full that I can't even move. It's good that we do have some fun sometimes even if we don't know if our guild will be the next one to be raided. Monsters who are hiding from players are now taking arms to take back their lands. If someone as strong as the Frozen King shows up then monsters will have the courage to seek help and destroy those who they hate.

After a while, the hype has gone and the guild inn's noise started to tone down. Elou who's done eating a couple of ages ago bought news.

"Hey Scy, a large army was spotted and they're heading towards the City of Order of Light. The army is moving so slow so it would take hours to get there. The army is composed of different kinds of low level to high-level monsters and undead. So what's the plan?" Elou reported. It looks like another trouble for us. All of us are now well rested and can join the fight but we can't leave our guild here alone.

"I don't think it's just their monsters and an undead army. I'm guessing the Frozen King wants to take a larger castle and a city for his monsters. If these monsters were just decoys and the Frozen King once again shows up when we are all exhausted then I don't think we can defeat it. For now, we stay put and watch closely. Guys prepare for combat and bring what you need to last longer." Scy ordered, sounds a good plan.

"What about the villagers and the guild?" Elou worriedly asked. There should be someone who will try to defend the guild.

"I don't think that the Frozen King would even take interest in our guild. Simple Village was destroyed because it's in the way to the Order of Light City. Also, Emily's here." Emily? Emily's a cook. There's no way she can defeat the monsters alone if they come here.

"But she can't fight Scy. What can a cook do?" Elou's right...

"Hey Emily, I know that you want to protect your place last time but why did you hesitate to use your abilities? I'm pretty sure you have the power to protect them. Please, whatever the reason, don't let it stop you from protecting those you love. This guild is your home too." I don't know what he's saying right now but I should try to trust him on this one.

"How did you..." Emily's expression changed. It looks like Scy knows something about her.

"Just a hunch. Use it when you need to use it. I'm pretty sure it chose you for a reason." Scy seems to be sure of it. What "it"?

"It's her key. You should have felt it by now. She also has weapon soul." Bright Edge talked to me in my mind... that surprised me!

"But what key?" As I look closely, she's holding a key! Not just a small one but a large one too. Is it weird that she carries something like that?

"Don't be absurd. No one can see that key but only those who use weapon souls." She's talking about weapons souls but I don't really don't...

"Weapon souls are those weapons like me with souls inside them." Can you stop reading my mind?!

"Then stop asking too much..." Please just stop...

"Hey Zia, are you coming?" And now I'm the one who's not paying attention.

"Goodluck, Miss Emily. Please be careful." I said while walking out. Most of the villagers are here inside. Our Inn is at the center of the guild so it's the safest place so far.

"You too Miss Zia. Don't forget to bring a souvenir for me.". We're going to war... what kind of souvenir do you expect, Miss Emily.?

-East Forest, Near Elves Village-

We moved out, all of us. But somehow, this isn't the way to the city of Order of Light. We headed east. This way is really familiar... We're going deeper and deeper inside the forest. Most of us are feeling uneasy. Why are we even here? I should check those people behind me. It'll be bad if some of them get lost.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAH!" As I turned around! A guy with long ears showed up! Oh, holy c.r.a.ppy c.r.a.p c.r.a.p! My heart won't stop beating so fast...

"Seriously?! Why do you always show up behind me?!" I blurted out... it's the elf friend of Scy...

"That's how we greet people. Anyway, why are you guys here? You even brought a lot of people." No, this is not how you greet people! My teammates even raised their weapons in case they need to protect me.

"I'm sorry that I brought all of them. I'm sure you guys know that we're at war, right?" Scy started talking to the elf guy.

"Yeah, but it's not our war. It's you humans and that arrogant Frozen Kings fight. Unlike you guys. If we die, it'll take a lot of time before we get resurrected and yeah, we can't really make that Frozen King mad at us or we will be his undead's meal." He kind of talked a lot after that simple question.

"I am aware of that and I didn't come here to ask for you to fight with us but to become look out for my friends in our guild. You know the location of our guild, right?" Scy asked. Oh, that's why Scy has the courage to leave Emily and the others inside the guild because the elves can protect them.

"Yes. We know all that happens inside the forest. Even with the Feywilds. Well, that would be a simple job. And what else?"

"And if by any chance that a group of monsters raids our guild, please stop them. I know you guys can do it. You are the best hunters after all." Hmmm... It's too risky for the elves.

"Fancy talk, but what's it for us? We can't just sacrifice people right?" Elf guy is trying to make an agreement. It's understandable because of the risks.

"I'll free those elves from Raven's guild. All of them." What?! Elves from Raven's guild? What's that supposed to mean?

"Are you sure about this? If you do that then, it might cause a war between you two guilds." I don't think this conversation is for children. I should get out of here.

"We've been friends for a while now. This is not a promise but I'll do whatever it takes to free your people." Free? Are we talking about Elvesnapping here?!

"Keep your word, human. I'll bring a hundred elves to your guild." The elf guy seems to agree with what Scy has promised.

"Since when did you have the authority to order the other elves?"

"I don't have to order. Your promise is what all of us desire the most. I'm sure they'll do their best as long as you do what you promised us." He's right. To be free from being elvesnapping is what they want the most.

"Keep them safe then. See you later. We have to do something first." We bid our farewells to the elf guy. I hope they can really save Emily and the others if something bad happens.

-South Forest, Path to Order of Light-

We reached the south-central part of the forest which leads to the way to the Order of Light City but we haven't shown up yet. It'll take like four to five hours on foot if we want to reach the city. That's a little bit too far still.

"We have to camp here for now. It'll take a lot of time before the raid reaches the city." He's right. Not to mention, it's getting dark. The Frozen King must have planned to attack at night because it lets his army to become stronger.

"I'll start cooking then!" Ch.e.l.ly excitedly offered to cook for us. Better have a good cook in a long journey. She grabbed her cooking items from her bag and started cooking. Of course, she made fire by herself. She uses a lot of elemental spells. Some of the others mostly from my team are now helping her to cook.

Kaita and beat seem to be friends now and they are laughing for some reason. It's good to see some people having fun. People near them started laughing too. They say that happiness is contagious. Most of the girls like me are just staying silent because maybe they're shy like me.

Scy and the other leaders are planning for our next move.

After that stay and eating, we logged out of the game and, as usual, do what we have to do. After two hours, we met again in the game. Those thirty minutes were wasted because of waiting for Ave. He got a lot of spank from Leion because of that.

"Hey Scy, we have to move," Elou suggested.

"All right then. Get ready guys. Our main objective this time is not to join the war." What?! Then what are we doing here, Scy?

"Our goal is to defeat the Frozen King once and for all. If we can defeat the top, all of the monster alliances and undead will stop fighting because they will lose the will to fight." Oh... I'm getting nervous all of a sudden. I haven't had the chance to fight the Frozen King but I'm pretty sure he's still too much for me but with Scy and the others, we can do it!
