Colonial empires in a world ruled by elves

The skeleton problem

When Alfons and his soldiers checked the skeletons and the rest of the houses, they realized that they belonged to the inhabitants of the town.

“What kind of malevolent magic have those damn elves used to turn innocent people into skeletons.”

Alfons just squeezed his hand with his leather gloves and looked at his subordinates. “Use the cameras and let me communicate with headquarters.

This thing will completely change the course of the war. “

When the headquarters received the photos as well as the detailed report on the new class of enemies.

They requested a meeting with the half-elf council and the rebels; it did not take them long to find out what it was about.

So they met with the humans to warn them of the danger they would face.

“Long ago, the elf god of death fell in love with an elf woman. They were happy, but she was not a goddess.

So eventually he began to grow old, until one day he simply died of old age.

The god of death was not happy with the death of his wife, so he ended up devising a huge plan to save her.

For this, he created ten runes using his divine power. Later he put the rules of life in them but he realized that in order to use them.

He needed to use the life of living creatures, so he did not hesitate to kill thousands of elves to achieve his goal, but when his beloved revived.

His skin fell to the ground, and he ended up being a skeleton which only wanted to kill anything around him.

The angry death god decided to create a control rune and, in that way, he was able to play with the skeleton of his beloved.

But then the god of death thought that he could create an army just using those runes, so he tried.

But to be able to do it, he needed a lot of lives, for which he used slaves.

That is why we are sure that at this moment the elves are killing humans, half-elves and any creature that is not an elf to feed those dangerous runes.

Although the skeletons are easy to defeat, their numbers will be increasing, so if we want them to stop.

First, we need to locate where the runes of death are, then we could use their planes or zeppelins to launch an attack there.

If we can destroy the runes, they will lose their army of skeletons. It is the only way there is to end that threat.

But for the moment it will be difficult to find the place, at least it will take us half a year to find it.

So they will have to withstand the enemy attack with all their strength. The black stone does not work with them because it is a kind of soul magic.

Although their weapons do appear to be effective against them, just be careful, as their numbers will be almost infinite in a few months. “

The command of humanity upon hearing that could only feel somewhat overwhelmed by what the simplest answer to be able to face this new threat.

It was to deliver more machine guns and submachine guns, Sb-1, to be able to face the attack of the skeletons.

But in retaliation for the slaughter of civilians by the elves.

Two days after the talk, the release of chlorine gas was carried out on all battlefronts, taking advantage of the half-elfs wind mages.

To prevent the elves from being able to defend themselves, they were bombarded with black stone powder.

So when the elves came into contact with the chlorine gas, they began to suffer before dying horribly, but that was only their first end.

Because their corpses turned into skeletons, and rose from their places, this far from creating fear in the central command only caused thousands of soldiers.

They will begin with the slaughter of skeletons, which, although they were large in numbers, a well-placed bullet was enough to kill them.

On one of the many fronts, Alfons and his battalion stood in their rubber clothes and gas masks in the elves’ trenches.

Although they had barely any vision due to the cloud of chlorine gas, which was yellowish green, they continued to advance.

Until they could see the first skeletons, which were completely horrible because they had a yellow color on the bones and they also seemed to still have meat.

Alfons and his group fired at the skeletons. The bullets came out at high speed from their submachine guns and were able to finish off the skeletons in front of them.

But then they could see in another trench how a soldier ran in terror.

“Get out of this place ...”

He could only say that because a hand created from bones crushed him, ending his life.

Alfons stared in horror at the creature of bones that had formed and which was almost as large as a stone golem.

So he quickly grabbed his flare gun and fired a flare into the sky.

After this, he gave the order to run and everyone moved away from the place because they did not have the bone creature.

But they had the bombardment that would be done in a few moments, from the Zeppelin that was on the battlefield.

The flare was looked at, so the Major gave the order to open fire in that place.

Alfons and his group, who were already far away, could only hear the noise of the artillery.

When they looked back, they saw how the artillery began to destroy the gigantic monster of bones.

Which with the explosions ended up falling towards the ground creating a blast of air that released part of the chlorine gas mist that was in the place.

This allowed dozens of these gigantic bone creatures to be seen from the Zeppelin.

So they began to fire artillery against them, ending their existence in a short time.

Alfons, who was with his soldiers sheltered in a hole inside the trenches, simply waited for the bombardments to end.

It was at that moment that, because of the vibrations of the place, a secret hole was opened in that place where they were.

So Alfons looked at his sergeants. “We can investigate or just hope what they want to do.”

The sergeants looked at the hole and ended up sighing before choosing to investigate, as they were curious as to where it would lead them.

Alfons ordered everyone to get ready, so they turned on their crank lanterns and went into those tunnels with the intention of knowing where they would take them.

While this was happening in that place, Drusilla was helping an elf prisoner who had arrived from the battlefield.

He had survived because he used a cloth with water in his mouth to protect himself, but the chlorine gas poisoning was far too advanced.

But Drusilla, after that, did everything she could to save his life.
