Chapter 7 Taking Supplies Mission
And in front of him was an Elf who wanted to talk to him? That\'s new.
"What\'s your name?" The Elf girl asked in a friendly manner as if she wasn\'t talking to the enemy.
"Introduce yourself first," replied Erend.
"Oh, that\'s right." Aurdis looks taken aback. "My name is Aurdis."
"Aurdis, huh? You\'re the first Elf I know the name," said Erend. "I don\'t want to say my name."
Aurdis frowned. "Why?"
"I just don\'t want to do it." Erend folded his arms across his chest. He didn\'t need to be friendly to the enemy, right?
Aurdis who had never received this kind of treatment from anyone felt surprised. She who was a Princess was usually always treated with respect. But this human?
"Now free me from this Elf Magic." Erend looked at Aurdis.
"Wait." Aurdis tried to control herself. "I haven\'t asked you anything yet."
"I don\'t want to answer."
"But-"
"You are my enemy," Erend said firmly.
Aurdis looked up at him and their eyes met. But Aurdis could only see the determination from him. He really didn\'t want to say anything.
"Now," said Erend. "Free me."
Erend\'s behavior made Aurdis, who originally just wanted to talk, become annoyed.
"I will not set you free." Now it was Aurdis\' turn to fold her arms under her protruding chest.
Erend snorted. "Then, if I kill you, maybe I can get out of this place."
Aurdis widened her eyes. "You want to kill me?!"
"Why not? I\'ve killed a lot of Elves. Adding one won\'t mean much."
Aurdis knew that the man in front of her was serious.
"Answer one of my questions and I\'ll get you out of here," Aurdis said. "It would be easier than us fighting here, right?"
"It all depends on your question. Maybe your question will force me to fight," replied Erend.
"Okay." Aurdis sighed. "I\'ll just ask what your name is."
"I don\'t want to tell you," Erend answered quickly. As if there was no need to think about anything.
"Why?!" Aurdis was irritated.
"You pointy-eared creatures can use Magic. Who knows what you can do with my name?"
Aurdis pursed her lips. It was true that Elves could use real names to drop Magic.
"But I didn\'t mean to do that!" Aurdis said.
"Ha ha ha!" Erend laughed humorlessly. "You\'ll have to learn trickery again. It almost worked."
"Really! I was just curious because I was curious about the power you have!"
Aurdis\' words made Erend\'s face turn stiff. He looked at Aurdis seriously now.
"What do you mean?" Erend asked.
"You have a mysterious power, right?"
Erend was silent.
"That power, show me-"
Before Aurdis finished speaking, Erend immediately lunged at her and raised his fist.
"AAA!!!" Aurdis shouted.
What happened next was a white light flashing out blinding Erend.
"WAAAAH!"
Erend looked around at the surroundings. He had already returned to the medical room inside the bunker. A nurse came up to him with a surprised face.
"What do you feel?" The woman asked with a worried expression on her face.
"Uhmm..." Erend looked around in confusion. He was quite familiar with the atmosphere of the medical room. This means he\'s really back in the bunker now.
"I\'m fine," Erend replied. The nurse breathed a sigh of relief. She is a beautiful young woman.
The reason for her being here was quite strange according to Erend. She said she only wanted to help the soldiers. Even though she could hide peacefully within the walls. Her name is Alice.
"You fainted on the battlefield. Do you remember that?" Alice asked.
"Yeah. I remember some."
Erend imagined what the Elf he slaughtered on the battlefield last night looked like.
"What about the others?" Erend asked.
"They\'re much better than you so you don\'t have to worry," Alice replied.
After that Erend was allowed to leave the treatment room because his condition was already fine.
Eren did feel like he was recovering and when he looked at his MP, he saw that it indeed had recovered. It seems that resting recovers his MP dan maybe HP too.
Billy greeted him with a tired mumble.
"You don\'t look worried about me,"
Erend said as he sat on his bed.
"I knew you\'d be all right," Billy replied.
"What you did last night was pretty awesome you know that?"
"Yeah, I know. But I almost died doing it."
"A little more I thought you were going to die. If Lt. Boartusk hadn\'t ordered us to charge forward, you would have been dead," Billy said.
"Yeah, about that. Thank you." Erend smiled.
"Don\'t thank me. I was prepared to let you die if the Lt. didn\'t give me orders," Billy said flatly.
Erend Chuckled. He knew Billy wouldn\'t do that. It was all just sarcasm that he gave off as usual.
Time flies. What Erend did was spread throughout the bunker and he was nicknamed Mad Dog because of his crazy behavior. Erend just laughed when he heard that.
That morning, Lt. Boartusk summoned all of his squad members for the next mission they were about to undertake.
"We will take supplies of ammunition, new weapons, and food. I finally managed to persuade our Handler to give it to us. But still, we have to take it ourselves," said Lt. Boartusk.
A few of the soldiers sighed. The humans within the walls didn\'t even bother to deliver supplies to the people who risked their lives protecting theirs.
This is nothing new. It\'s just that everything still feels sad and provokes their anger. But then again, they had no choice.
"Drake! You will lead this mission."
"Yes, sir!" Erend immediately answered.
"Good. Get ready and get going."
Lt. Boartusk concludes the meeting for this mission. The soldiers went into their respective rooms to prepare.
They all gathered in front of the bunker a few minutes later with full weapons and armor. There are ten of them in total.
Lt. Boartusk couldn\'t risk sending too many people because the Elves might attack unexpectedly.
Billy was driving the truck and Erend was beside him. The soldiers who participated in the mission this time were all new recruits except for Erend and Billy.
"Hey, man. I feel good that you\'re on this mission," Billy said.
"Is that so?" Erend replied.
"Yeah. You can face the enemy if we\'re ambushed."
Erend turned to him. "Then you\'re just going to leave me?"
Billy turned his head with a look of made-up surprise. "How did you know about that?"
Then he chuckled. Erend just snorted.
