Bonkotsu Shinpei no Monster Raifu

om the bottle.

Before eating I took another look at the city.
As expected, there’s not much people living in there, the soldiers that was supposed to protect it is sparse and their equipment is not noteworthy.
It would have been nice if they have some ballista or anything.
But because of the lack of things here it’s hard to evaluate the defensive capability of this city and this period.

(No we can’t decide if it really was a waste of time, we should be able to discover new things that were made after the war)

I guess I have to wait around noon when its usually most active to check on the city.
So, to kill time, I catch and grill some fishes then return to observing the city.

(Ugh, This won’t do, this is a loss)

The place I’m in is quite far away and even with my telescopic view is having a hard time to read expression but from how the people move and act it seems like their morale is low.
The resident shows sign of having no hope.
Children are scarce and soldier shows no sign of motivation.
Was the industry here already died?

This is really a complete let down.
There’s nothing to see in this town.
Does the lady we met back then were from this town?

(If I were them, I’d abandon this city too.)

It makes more sense to go to the southern front than stay here.

Where should I go to next? It might be a good idea to go west to the land of the elves.
Since there’s thing I want to make sure of.
I closed and opened my fist to check the sensation on my left hand.
There might be other genetically-enhanced soldier besides me, or there may not be others and I also have the option of going back and if I ever found them what should I do?

(Finding those facility would be unrealistic given the size of the empire that became a huge forest.)

The clues on the whereabout of those facilities are close to zero and I’m not willing to look all over the empire without any information.

(Even with this enhanced capability, it’s not realistic)

I try not to put dirt on being an Imperial soldier, but if you ask me to find something that I don’t if it exist or not then my answer would be no

It’s not worth the effort at all, but if I could then I would.

 It is in all honesty, beyond my ability even and what only awaits for me would be a life of a forest survivalist.
Hence, I would deeply bow my head and apologize  and sincerely admit that I didn’t stood a chance.

I decided my next destination.
Onward to , the western frontline.

The last 200 years have brought more changes than I could ever imagine and the best thing to do is go to a place that will not change and see it with my own two eyes.

Why do I think that there won’t be any changes in that part of the continent? Because, one there’s no way the Kingdom of Canaan has the capability to beat the , the Elven nation.

The elves are the only one that gives the empire a hard time during the Great War.
They aren’t behind Canaan and they’re not interested in the territory of another country.

It may look like that they won’t devote protecting they’re territory but that was not true.
They might be worshipper of nature and cultivates little land resulting in abundance of monster inside their territory.
But this isn’t a problem, for the fighting prowess of the elves is incomparable to that of a human.

They are not threatened by the monsters that springs up in their territory, but rather they protect their boarder to stop monster from escaping to neighboring countries.

If monster were left unchecked a swarm might happen and attack town, that’s why it’s essential to thin them down but the elves won’t allow them to leave their boarders.
Because of these, it is natural that any human nation adjacent to Einhar’s boarder does not get along with the elves.

I remembered when I was a recruit, countries and people who are unrelated creates favorable feelings because of their excellent appearance

Which is what I’m talking about.
I have no evil intention on seeing them, I just want to see how elves who have become a threat to the Empire changed for the last 200 years.

Since my course is to the west and since the grassland offers no place of hiding, the worst we can do is to go through the old Imperial territory.
