In the Whispering Forest the demihumans were no different from slaves. For the past 50 years, they lived their lives like livestocks, rearing their children for the elves and undertaking hard labor for them.

With the Forest of Darkness ruled by the elves at the center, the various regions could be divided into 6. They are Forni, Jirad, Gastair, Sinfall, Symphoria, and Sheng. This division hasn't changed since the time the demihumans were driven into the forest.

The sage's council at the time decided to accept the demihumans and evenly distributed responsibility among the various elven villages..

In other words, the demihumans were divided among the various villages.

It left a bitter taste in my mouth when I heard the captured demihumans' story.

The harpyurea were the ones who caught wind of our movement, while the werewolves and the minotaurs were made to fight in the frontlines.

"To think they would actually use our neighbors as slaves!" Fei spat in rage before I could even say anything.

The young yet skilled elf was enraged by what he was seeing, though his strong spirit kept that anger in check.

"They are a disgrace to the elves!" The other elves from Forni each worded out their disdain for Jirad's elves.

That's a good thing. At the very least, the elves from Forni are able to feel repugnance at seeing the demihumans enslaved, but what about the goblins?

Right now we are fighting together.

If we could maintain this relationship, they might eventually start treating us as their good neighbors. Of course, it'll take time, but regardless, as long as enough time is given, we will eventually be able to change the perception of the elves toward the goblins.

"Now then, what to do? We can't exactly take these prisoners with us," I asked.

Fei and the other elves glared at the Whispering Forest (Jirad). "Let's bind them for now. They're powerless as long as there's no one to lead them."

The captured demihumans don't seem to show any intentions of resisting. They seem as if they've completely resigned themselves to their fate.

"Sure dampens your mood seeing them, eh," Shumea said as she took off her helmet, which covered her whole face.

I wryly smiled. "Being a former slave yourself, do they have anything left?"

"Well... I was a battle slave, so I wasn't treated as poorly as them, but regardless, it's hard to live when you don't want to."

Shumea herself seems to have lived a hard life.

"One day I'd like to hear your story... over wine, of course."

"Heh~ If its liquor from you, Boss, I'll drink as much as you want."

Did I just stir up the hornet's nest?

Well, whatever. I should be able to get some elven wine after this battle. It probably won't be enough to give to the whole horde to drink, but it should be enough for a feast.
